There's also often a line for Santouka as well, and when Kinton was new on Baldwin Street, that was lined up too. Now that there are 4 Kintons, I have no idea if the line persists…
but a lot of people are willing to line up for good ramen it seems, but not the average stuff, which maybe is all that Towered has had up to this point? "Idiots" is a little harsh. In any case, Guu isn't a ramen joint if that's the line that was Towered was referring too, and its izakaya food and particular ambience can't be found in too many other places in town, so no wonder it gets lined up often.
