//The line

The Infatuation's Chinese food guide describes Uncle Lou plainly: "it's crowded every night. That's because Uncle Lou does so many things well," pointing to consistent, sustained demand rather than a one-off rush.

The guide notes reservations are possible for larger groups - "you can make a reservation for parties of six or more" - implying smaller parties are expected to wait or walk in, though The Infatuation doesn't quantify typical wait times.
