White Bear is a hole-in-the-wall, cash-only takeout counter in Flushing with no seating and no bathroom, built almost entirely around one cult-favorite order: the 'Number 6' wontons tossed in a spicy hot oil sauce. That single-dish focus, combined with its tiny footprint, is what turns a simple counter into a spot that regularly draws a queue.
Reported wait reality is mixed but consistent with a small, popular counter: reviewers describe lines forming outside at busier times, while at least one visitor found the crowd surprisingly light arriving around 11:30am. Without a live camera on site, the safest bet is to treat any specific wait number you see online as a single reviewer's snapshot rather than a current condition, and to expect some standing time during typical lunch hours.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.
damnlines doesn't have a live camera at White Bear yet, so we can't give you a real-time count. That said, it's a tiny cash-only takeout counter with no seating, and reviewers describe lines forming outside during busy stretches — though at least one visitor reported surprisingly light crowds arriving around 11:30am. Expect some wait, especially for the signature order, but treat any specific number you read elsewhere as anecdotal, not live data.
No. White Bear is a walk-up, cash-only takeout window with no dine-in seating, so there's nothing to reserve — it's first-come, first-served at the counter.
Listings show White Bear open daily from about 10:00am to 7:00pm, but small takeout spots like this can have irregular hours — it's worth confirming day-of if you're making a special trip.
White Bear's cult-favorite order is the 'Number 6' — fresh-cooked wontons tossed in a spicy hot oil sauce — which has built it a loyal following in Flushing's dense food scene.
No — reviewers and listings note there's no dine-in seating and no bathroom on site; it's strictly a grab-and-go counter, so plan to eat elsewhere or take it to go.
