    Pandan + Sweet Corn + Cheese and Green Tea + KitKat Green Tea + Cheese
    Komal R.

    We ordered the Green Tea + KitKat and Pandan + Sweet corn Martabaks for delivery. Both were pretty delicious, the cake was spongy and not too sweet. The fillings were generous and I loved they added condensed milk to both. Each mini order has 2 pieces which is quite a good sized portion. Everything came packaged very well and still warm so we know it was freshly made.

    This place is so unique. Definitely have to come try it out for yourself. The dessert exceeded my expectations. We ordered the mini Martabak (comes in two pieces) with pandan and cheese corn flavor. They were two very large pieces and highly recommend bringing a friend to share. I would love to come back and try the different items and flavors. It's difficult to wrap my head around this savory yet sweet snack combo, but I'm loving it! They are made to order and does take approximately 15-30 min based on how busy they are when you visit. Expect some wait time but these snacks are definitely worth the wait.

    First time my husband ever had martabak (the sweet one) he cried, this was when he was visiting Indonesia. I have been searching for martabak since! It is so hard to find, so this place is a true gem. If you're in Philly you need to try this place. Very authentic martabak per my husband. Martabak is this thick pancake cooked in butter with cheese and chocolate sandwiched between. It's rich and delicious. Only street parking. They do do doordash. Cute little hope in the wall! Try all the different flavors. And be sure to order ahead! I didn't think to and we were stopping by on the way to the airport, and they were sold out. But a worker (maybe owner) thankfully saw how sad we were he agreed to make us one. Definitely a must try

    tl;dr the menu may seem unconventional at first glance, but the rich street food served at this authentic shop is all the rage in Indonesia Martabak, derived from the Arabic word for "folded," refers to the stuffed, pancake-like street food common in Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries. The "telor" (savory) martabak variety popularized in Jakarta is reminiscent of roti with meat, egg, and scallions, while the manis (sweet) style from Surabaya is more like a thick, chewy pancake. The latter is classically topped with butter, peanuts, and cheese, but more innovative fix-ins range from matcha to Oreos to Nutella. While martabak hawkers are always a stone's throw away in Indonesia, dedicated vendors are understandably limited in the States. Enter Martabak OK. This tiny cafe quietly debuted on Washington Ave in 2018, its black-and-yellow striped awning standing out among an otherwise dull block. Martabak OK quickly picked up Philadelphia Magazine's "Best Suped-Up Pancakes" award. Then, the takeout-centric shop weathered the pandemic, which was when my partner and I first tried their street food lineup. The interior is decked with hand-painted murals depicting Martabak OK's cartoon mascots. Rope-and-bamboo chandeliers hang from the textured ceiling panels. In lieu of tables, the small customer space has one long pickup counter for takeout bags, as well as a few stools intended for waiting rather than dining. The extensive menu is displayed across 4 wall-mounted screens on the back wall. During our first visit, my partner and I ordered both martabak telor and martabak manis, and we immediately were surprised by the sheer weight of our takeout boxes. Just a single order of the dense fare could surely fill up a small family. We also fondly recall the unparalleled richness of both varieties. When Martabak OK recently released their "Mini" series (the same snacks fit for a smaller collective stomach), we were game for a return visit. This time, we opted for 2 sweet ones: the Pandan (with sweet corn and shredded white cheddar) and the Red Velvet (with Oreo and cream cheese) Minis. I ordered ahead with ASAP pickup, but we were quoted a few additional minutes once we arrived. During our downtime, another patron -- an Indonesian immigrant now living in New York City -- shared that he was picking up a massive, weekly bulk order on behalf of his cultural community back in NY. He gave Martabak OK a thumbs-up on authenticity. We soon were handed a reusable takeout bag with two small-but-hefty boxes, and we darted home to dine. Per Martabak OK's recommendation, we gave our food a 1-minute zap in the microwave to achieve a warm temperature and smooth consistency to the cream. Both styles dripped with butter and were slathered with the same, memorably rich condensed milk-based filling. This go-around, I also was impressed with the pancake itself -- crispy on the exterior while pleasantly chewy throughout. We both preferred the pandan style, which paired the characteristic richness with salty cheese and mildly sweet corn. The red velvet martabak offered a rush of sugar that, while yummy, would surely become overwhelming beyond my single slice. Mini sizes (which, again, are plenty to split between 2 people) run a hair under $10, while the full portions cost closer to $20. The unique novelty of martabak is a welcome component of Philly's fast-casual dining scene, and I see myself returning when I get a strong hankering for the chewy, sweet-and-salty richness.

    I tried martabak for the 1st time here and was amazed at how delicious it was! I was super excited and tried the Original with peanuts, cheese, and chocolate sprinkes as well as the Pandan with these same toppings. Initially, it was a strange combination but it grew on me after 2-3 more bites. I was so happy that I bought some more before heading back to NYC. If you're in the area, I recommend stopping by and grabbing one. The size is really generous and the price was decent.

    One word, delicious. I highly recommend it. I would visit again next time I am in Philly. Most people order ahead and pick up. If you go there and order it can take up to an hour before you can get your food. I see so many orders it can get very busy... The whole portion is too large, you should get it for a family, but it is too much a couple.

    First timer and am impressed!!! If their fried tofu isn't the best fried tofu, then I don't know what is. Pancake was good too. Coming from Hong Kong, we have something similar, so it's like reliving my childhood. Not cheap, but the portions are huge. Cannot recommend enough!

    It took me forever to check out Martabak Ok and I'm so sad that it did! I really have been missing out on the perfect takeout dinner or even light snack option. Martabak specializes in Indonesian sweet and savory pancakes. When my fiance and I were there, we had to try a full size of both naturally - we got the spicy sambel bawang savory pancake (which is definitely spicy just as a heads up) and the pandan sweet pancake (cheese and sweet corn). Both were incredibly delicious - the savory pancake texture was crispy and flaky and the meat inside was well seasoned, and the pandan pancake was super soft and fluffy. The cheese added a light bit of salt to the sweet and creamy flavor of the pandan pancake, and everything harmonized so well. The two pancakes were really different but both were excellent. We were given it all in a togo box that came with a branded reusable bag. Getting the full size fed us for two meals honestly. Just as a tip though also the pancakes can get a tiny bit messy so just be careful taking it home! We really want to get some of the minis next time so we can sample more flavors at once and will absolutely be back for more. We recommend ordering ahead so you don't have to wait too long, the pancakes can take a bit to make but it's absolutely worth it. Would highly recommend this extremely unique takeout spot!

    Yum!

    Was craving martabak today, but a quick Google search showed that they were closed. I decided to give them a call anyway. To my surprise they are open, for takeout orders at least. Their current hours are 12-6pm Sunday to Saturday. I placed an order for a pandan martabak with peanuts and was told it was going to take 30 mins to make which is a bit longer than usual. Make sure you order 30 mins ahead of time if you are hungry!! There was barely any hint of pandan but the martabak was still delicious. I ate two pieces, one after another and quickly got full, but still wanted to keep eating. I don't regret eating the extra pieces even though it did make me a little sleepy after lunch.

    Im not sure if they want to continue the business with this attitude ‍ and lack of commitment. Order done, payment done, no follow up and being rude after my reminder. Good luck dah martabak paling ok

    Sealed in the box perfectly

    Delivery is great, packaged great and nicely. Always great service. One day shipping free. Indonesian food from Philadelphia great job guys!!! Will shop again! Keep up great work!!!

    Holy delicious. I have never even heard of martabak before, so my first visit was a bit frustrating because I couldn't understand what exactly this place was offering. I know that there were sweet and savory versions of something. There were pictures of some of the options on the menu but everything is made to order so there was nothing to physically see. The cashier seems perplexed that I was so oblivious to what they were serving. After his attempt to explain what martabaks were, I realized that most of the items they serve only come in 12-piece (or slice?) orders. They offered two-piece orders of only four kinds of the sweet martabak manis series. They have offered no 2-piece of the savory pieces. I only wanted to try it this time so I order the two-piece sweet corn with mozzarella cheese. O.M.G. What a delicious, mind-blowing bite of food. The texture of the "pancake" is outrageous. The flavor of the sweet corn was perfect. Not too sweet, and just the right level of creaminess. How have I not had these before?! Five visits later, I am much more familiar with the menu, and a few pounds heavier. Everything is outrageously delicious. The Taro savory beef and cheese is like a dozen cheesesteak and egg sliders. However busy this place is (not sure), it should be busier. Totally underrated. Stop here and experience some seriously delicious street treats. Call ahead and place your order, because everything is made to order. They now have bubble tea. There are a few casual tables, but this is more of a takeout spot.

    get this tofu!
    Shannon P.

    The best items to get from this place is the martabak telor and the crispy tofu. If you can only get one, get the crispy tofu. It's out of this world! The tofu is cut into bite-size pieces, and deep fried with spices. Yum-yum. If you didn't like tofu before, you'll love it when you take a bite of this tofu.

The Deluxe cookies were a treat w/ the peanut butter varieties a fav, but ALL the cookies, including the ones I didn't pick, were delicious.

After we finished, they handed us a whole box of cookies just for hanging out and giving feedback. That was a solid surprise and super generous. I swing by Insomnia Cookies on random days too because sometimes you just need a warm cookie to reset your mood. They always come out soft, gooey, and fresh from the oven. The store itself is clean and kind of cool to look at. There's a whole wall covered in giant industrial-style on and off switches. I still wish I could have pulled one just to see what would happen. Staff was chill and genuinely helpful. They were patient while we tried to figure out which cookie was which during the ranking, and they kept the energy light and fun. Same when they handed out the free boxes. Whoever runs the HQ location clearly knows how to make the experience feel special.

Even the grilled bread used for the bruschetta tasted fresh. Arancini with pork and veal ragu peas was great; the peas added a new texture to the traditional arancini. We also got fried artichokes as an appetizer. It was crispy and salty -- I could munch on that alone. For the entree, I got the veal braciole with tagliatelle and tomato sugo. The whole dish tasted homey, like what you would get at an Italian family's house. The veal braciocle was small, and I wished there was more protein and less pasta to be more balanced. For dessert, everyone raved about their gelato. Their pistachio flavor was clearly a favorite, as it had intense fresh pistachio flavor. It was also tan in color, as you would expect a pistachio nut to be, not the artificial green color added to other pistachio gelatos. I had the amaretto cherry flavor. It was good too, although I wished it had more cherries. A few people got their espresso, and really enjoyed it. They roast their own coffee on-site, so I am not surprised again how fresh it tasted. Tip: Pour a little of their fantastic coffee over your gelato to make your own fresh affogato. I came here with a large group and despite the tight space, we felt cozy. Service was spectacular. We had multiple food allergies in the group, and the waitstaff took each one very seriously, asking down to the detail if the allergy was by consumption or cross-contamination. Thank you to the staff for being so conscientious!

They definitely seem consistent, which I really appreciate. I came with a couple of friends on a Saturday afternoon, and wow... this place was packed. Even with the crowd, the staff stayed friendly and worked quickly, so we didn't have to wait too long for our drinks. One thing I still love is the seating. They have giant plushies sitting in the booths, so if you're by yourself, you're not just awkwardly staring at an empty seat across from you. Maybe I'm the only one who appreciates that, but I think it's a cute touch. The matcha here is the real deal. It's bright green, fragrant, and has that rich, earthy flavor with just enough natural bitterness that you know they're using quality matcha. A lot of places advertise matcha, but this one actually delivers. I ordered one of their matcha desserts with ice cream, and it was creamy, refreshing, and let the matcha flavor shine instead of burying it under sugar. My only complaint is that it was pretty warm inside. It was a hot summer day, and I honestly couldn't tell if the air conditioning was running or if it was just fans. Either way, it wasn't very cool inside. Thankfully I had ice cream, so it didn't bother me too much, but it's something to keep in mind if you're stopping by on a really hot day. Overall, another great visit. Friendly staff, consistently high-quality matcha, and a fun atmosphere. If you're a matcha lover, this is still one of my favorite spots in Chinatown.
