Because it's worth the wait, right?
While revered restaurants may boast numerous culinary awards, the validation is unlike the long, snaking queues of hungry patrons, waiting patiently to get a little taste of a food marvel that they deemed is worthy of their time.
So if you have a few hours to kill, perhaps consider joining in the long lines seen at these five restaurants:

5. Hai Di Lao
Popular Chinese hotpot restaurant Hai Di Lao starts taking care of their customers even before they even set foot in the restaurant. From massages to manicures, these services are the restaurant’s bid to pacify hungry patrons to patiently wait for a seat. Aside from an extensive menu of 100 different types of high-grade ingredients, many look forward to the actual steamboat which houses up to four soups in a single pot, including the iconic peppery mala soup being restaurant’s most sought-after soup base.
