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.

PANDAN Sweet CornCheese - yum!

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.

The best fried tofu; original CheesePeanutChoco Sprinkles
Agnes H.

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!

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

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.

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!!!

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.

PANDAN Cheese Only

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.

I come here for happy hour every now and then because the prices are really great, and both the food and drinks are delicious. We started with the specialty cocktail and the Thai Punch, and both were really good. They had fruity undertones, and the alcohol wasn't overpowering at all -- I could easily have a few of these. For food, we got a few orders of the kung pao chicken wings. They were perfectly crispy with a really flavorful glaze. The portion size was also very generous, especially for the happy hour price. These are a great example of Asian-style fried chicken wings done right. I definitely want to come back and try their full dinner menu since I've only been here for happy hour so far. Luckily, it's not too far from where I live in the city, so I'll definitely be back!

This time our server explained the tasting course, but we decided to order a la carte. A refreshing Ming Mule came out first and it was just what I needed after being inside of a stadium on a 100 degree day. We also ordered an order of the pork bao which was so tasty. You can never go wrong with a pork belly appetizer and each order comes with two. The shrimp pad Thai had all the flavors you expect from a classic pad Thai but with their own twist. The Szechuan chicken was crispy and had sweet notes. Definitely two great picks. Opted out from dessert because we were so stuffed but they have a great ice cream cone option if you are in the mood.

We sat in a cozy corner booth and could easily hear each other although we could not read the menu or clearly see what we were eating the lighting is so dim (and consistent with the gothic theme). Now onto the food. We ordered 9 dishes (waiter suggested 8) and it was way too much for us and I'm a big eater! Edamame dumplings - 4/5, may be just me, but I don't really enjoy mushy fillings to my dumplings. The broth they came in was amazing though Tuna rice cracker - 4/5, not really a cracker, more like a crunchy mini loaf of rice topped with tuna and a slice of jalapeno - delicious and much more filling than what I was expecting. I only gave a 4 instead of 5/5 for taste because of the unexpected presentation of the "cracker" Shishito pepper small plate - 5*/5 outstanding! I could eat these all day they were so delicious. I'm not sure how they flavor these or what light crunchy sprinkles were on top of this very generous portion of peppers (I would estimate maybe 30 peppers?) I'd go back just for this dish Black cod fried rice - 3/5, I should know better that a miso black cod will be somewhat fishy, and with it spread in chunks throughout the fried rice I'd say this was my least favorite dish. Crispy brussels sprouts - 4/5, a solid offering, not much to write home about Crispy tofu - 3/5, not particularly unique although it sounded amazing when described - cubes of deep fried tofu drizzled with peanut sauce on a bed of cilantro pesto. But not that tasty and not that interesting Scallop robo - 5/5, excellent with a kick from the spicy powder on these, note these are very small portions, three slices of scallop (not even a full scallop or if these were full scallops they were very thin) on a stick Ribeye scallion robo - 5/5, also excellent, with three chunks of tender grilled beef Mochi ice cream: passion fruit, matcha - 4/5, but mostly because I'm not a huge fan of mochi ice cream, I'd rather just have the ice cream or have it with a brownie or between two cookies So overall, service was great, not overly attentive. And the food was very solid with an outstanding exception with the shishito peppers. I'm not sure I'd go back as it is very dark in there and if I was seated on the first floor I'd not be able to have conversation with my dinner mates.
