This place is located inside a nice little food court a little south of Central Park. We enjoyed a delicious lunch of pork adobo and lumpia. Both items were delicious and I would happily come back again to try other items on their menu.
Located inside a South East Asian food court is this non-descript Filipino stall. The selections were the greatest hits, and we went with the lumpia and pork adobo. Service was quick and pleasant, well trained on the lunch rush. There were plenty of tables to enjoy our meal, and restrooms downstairs. The food was tasty. Not the best that I've had, but certainly worth the price. I would come back here, but I might hop around between the different stalls in the food court as there are so many things to try.
Don't Yawn on Tradisyon... A filipino restaurant specializing in traditional cuisine. Dishes prepared with no trendy fusions, just good ol mom like home cooking. I was craving some kare kare while at work. After a long anticipation of wanting to try this place I called the restaurant to order delivery and the gentleman that answered was very nice and helpful. They do not deliver themselves but are available on several delivery apps. My order was very well packaged and tamper proof. I appreciate that they sent the rice in a separate container. The kare kare had everything my Mom would serve. The peanut sauce could have used a little more peanut flavor for my taste but I am the guy who does 4 to 1 ratio for pb & j. Veggies were fresh, crisp and plentiful. The rice portion could have used a few more spoonfuls because I ran short and didn't have enough rice to sop up all the sauce. I will definitely return to Tradisyon to try every single item on their menu! Mahal Kita, Tradisyon.
Came here with some friends on a weekend afternoon for lunch. It wasn't crowded at all which was good for us. We got the pork adobo, pork tocino (weekend brunch only item), chicken inasal and karekare. We planned to share the dishes instead of having each each dish separately with rice and the staff were very accommodating about it and put all the rice into two separate bowls and plates. The garlic rice is a must order just the regular white rice! My favorite dishes were the pork adobo which reminded me of the Taiwanese luroufan's braised pork. The chicken inasal had a nice smokey flavor to it. The karekare short ribs were very tender and the sauce was a bit too sweet to my liking but that's just because I usually prefer my dishes to be more on the savory side. The pork tocino was just alright, it was stir fried pork over rice with a runny egg. This is a great place to get Filipino food in the city without breaking the bank. FYI, this is a small spot so there's no bathroom inside the restaurant.
Kare Kare .... Delivered .... Eggplant ... Sitaw & BokChoy ... wasn't cooked w/ the KareKare, just steamed=*{ Pd extra for Garlic Fried Rice ... but ... This is supposed to be Garlic Rice ... it's just steamed rice=*{ And Shrimp Paste ... UberEats delivered & it was fast & Tradisyon stapled the top of the bag to ensure no tampering. But ... used UberEats & the lid for the entree did not fit securely=*{ I appreciated that! Will update after I eat, LoL!!!
Super quick turnover. The only difference between lunch special and regular is $2 ($15 vs $17) so I opted for normal size. Pork Adobo: decent, tasted more like Chinese 红烧肉 rather than Filipino dish, which was a bit disappointing (aka I can make this exact dish at home). It's very salty but otherwise fine. Definitely a lot of rice vs meat.
Everyone that flocks to Urban Hawker for the Hainan Chicken Rice is missing out. It's easy to miss but the Crispy Patas (fried pork knuckles) could be the best roast/fried pork that this ABC girl has ever had. Beats any Chinese Roast Pork / Le hon I have ever had. Pictures do not give the Crispy Patas any justice. The entire dish was crispy and the meat underneath was fall-off-the-bone tender. It's so easy to miss when you glance at all the menus in the food court. But I assure you that you don't want to miss it. It's fried to order so there's a bit of a wait involved but totally worth every minute. I recommend dining there for this dish so you don't risk even the teeniest bit of sogginess. We also had the Rambutan Pineapple Salad which was a refreshing balance to the massive amount of meat. :-)
Food (4/5): I got the Pork Adobo and had some friends that shared the Crispy Pata (Fried Pork Knuckle). The pork adobo was flavorful and delicious with tender cuts of pork and a great ration of meat to rice. The Pork Knuckle was massive and a bit hard to eat but the parts I ate were pretty good. The only issue was that there were chewy parts of the meat that weren't so good. Service (4/5): I was surprised how fast the Pork Adobo came out. I hadn't even finished paying and they already gave me the dish with the utensils. I was a bit worried that perhaps it wasn't fresh and had been sitting out for a while, but the dish was still fresh and delicious. Ambiance & Venue (5/5): This is part of the Urban Hawker food court. It feels like a busy food court and was quite difficult to find seating. However, the overall vibe and energy of the food court is amazing. You have so many options. We ended up getting seats in front of Tradisyon.
This location is in the food hall so go inside the dark building. I ordered the 10 piece chicken lumpia and I was nice and crispy. As a Filipino I thumbs up this! However, I do wish they had more variety of meat on their menu, as I do not eat pork. At the other location I believe I remember they had beef sinigang, so I expected this one to have it. Maybe they will add more to the menu, as this place is recent and new. Cant wait!
Tried tradisyon at the urban hawker location! The restaurant always seems to be packed when I try to visit and was craving some filipino food quick. This was actually my first time have pork belly sliced adobo and it was yummy! They got the sauce, crunch, and egg perfectly! Tons of seating at the urban hawker food court.
Tradisyon is located in a food hall called Urban Hawker on 50th street. I generally enjoy food hall concepts because of the variety of options. Obviously it's hit or miss with the food. Tradisyon was in the middle as it wasn't the best nor was it the worst pancit I've had. The price point is something but it's the city. The food hall is worth a try if you want a quick lunch and are nearby. read more
Food stall in the Urban Hawker food court. For $19.60, I was definitely expecting a little more from the Singaporean Laksa. It comes with a hard boiled egg, 6 artificial meat balls (probably frozen) and some rice noodles. It was not worth it. Broth was flavorful with great spice profile and a hint of sweetness. I left feeling gypped read more

Enjoyed the grilled pork belly on rice. Service was quick and efficient. They have other good Filipino comfort food in the menu that I will try in the future. Wishlist, I hope they have Ube dessert and pork sisiig in their menu in the future! read more

Great service and attention to detail. Awesome spot tucked away in a little public market. I got the chicken bbq and loved it. My fiancé got the pork belly and it was solid for her as well. Wishing this place all the best. read more

Fast service and wonderful food served at a comparable NYC price of $16. Located in UrbanHawker, this was a food stand in a food hall with other Asian food options. It has a lovely vibe, restrooms downstairs, and people who take your trays/food when you are done. read more

Filipino food has always been tricky whenever I decide to venture outside of my mom's kitchen. At Tradisyon I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of flavor each dish had. There is a level of care and technique in each dish I ordered. For a quick serve lunch location my pork adobo and pancit were layered with delicious bites and freshness. They pride themselves on serving comfort Filipino food and that is exactly what you'll find here. This is the first Filipino restaurant I have experienced that serves food where you can taste the love and tradition put into it. There are no frills, gimmicks, or attempts to reinvent the wheel. They have just great food cooked the way I remember eating it at home with my family. Definitely want to check out their first location for a full service meal! Also would have taken pictures, but was so excited to eat that I ate before the camera. This was my first visit and will definitely not be my last. read more

Mmmmh yummy... I was looking for a quick bit that would be equal parts delicious and "something new for me"- this did it! read more
Don't know how I missed this when checking out the Urban Hawker for the first month they where open but there was a Filipino food vendor amongst the Singaporean and Malayan ones there. Tradisyon which has a Filipino restaurant on 9th Ave, Hell's Kitchen as open up shop at Urban Hawker too. It offers a sub menu of their popular dishes from the restaurant, and more in tune to a food hall vs a sit down restaurant in prep and cooking time. I went for the quick grab of Lumpiang Chicken , which is just like thin crispy spring rolls, and a can of the Gina's Mango Nectar Juice since they where out of the Guyabano, and Calamansi juices. So again if you tired of the same-o same-o at those other food halls come to Urban Hawker for something different. read more

I ordered the Chicken BBQ dish and was given a choice of white, brown or fried rice. I chose the fried rice. Pros Good portion size with a good amount of chicken and rice. Cons Fried rice was dry and although they called it fried rice, it did not have any vegetables or protein and not much flavor. Chicken was just ok, also not that much flavor. Didn't care for the pickled onions. The sauce they give you didn't really taste like anything but was good to put on the chicken and rice so it wouldn't be as dry. Many of these vendors in the Urban Hawker food court don't offer bags so if you're not eating there you'll need to carry it in your hands if you didn't bring your own bag. read more

We went into urban hawker and I chose this tinola that was in this food stall. Very delicious and hearty. Taste very authentic. The service was great. There are a lot of food stalls w a lot of varieties of Asian cuisine to choose from ranging from Singaporean, Filipino, Indian, etc. read more
2 things I noticed when we ate here; one, the server wasn't friendly at all. He was aloof and didn't seem to be too thrilled to help us. And 2, when the food came, we noticed the crispy pata was extremely dry, like it was frozen before then quickly fried. The meat was not pleasant to eat. I was very disappointed on this visit. Maybe it was just an off day but I will not be returning to this establishment. read more

Stopped by during a work lunch break and wanted to try adobos for the first time. I felt like it was just okay and is a heavy lunch for the work day. I didn't know it would be quite fatty with the pork but I would opt for something lighter next time. Overall, the flavors were good and tasted homey. But I did find pokey hairs on the pork and it kinda threw me off. Otherwise, the taste is good for adobo, cashier was nice and food was prepared very quickly. I also like the ambiance of the Urban Hawker and would definitely be back at this food court. read more
I went to Urban Hawker (a Singaporean style food court) with my friend and decided to get the Chicken BBQ bowl from Tradisyon! They're known for Filipino comfort food. It's a very aesthetic bowl, full of different colors and toppings. It was delicious, and the chicken was tender and flavorful. I paid a little more to get the fried rice, which I wish had a little more flavor and it was a tad on the oilier side for me. The sauce was good as well. Urban Hawker in itself is more on the pricey side, in my opinion, as a whole, considering it's fast casual dining. I paid ~$22 for this bowl, and while Manhattan is expensive, I didn't think it was super worth it (though don't get me wrong, still delicious). read more
