Loved this spot! I ended up coming during my trip to NYC. The location is super convenient in Midtown, just steps from Rockefeller Center, and I was pleasantly surprised that we were able to get a table for three without much wait. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable for Midtown Manhattan. I got the beef rendang. The food was flavorful, satisfying, and served quickly. Definitely a great spot for a casual and tasty meal in Midtown! read more

Padi D'NYC - Beef Rendang - Food Stands Near Me - New York, New York

Padi D'NYC is one of my favorite stalls at Urban Hawker. Having ordered the ayam gulai twice, I just adore the rich curry sauce with generous chunks of tender chicken. The mee rebus is also delicious. The amount of yellow noodles is also generous. The thick slightly sweet but spicy gravy is divine. And the lontong with sambal is amazing. I'm a sucker for these rich, coconut-based, sweet and spicy curry soups and sauces. So Padi D'NYC is totally my jam. But the execution of the flavors, noodles, rice cakes, chicken, etc. is just spot-on. Paired with the fragrant coconut infused purple rice side, the lontong was my favorite though. I would definitely order from Padi D'NYC again to try their fish belado and bakso. read more

So I haven't actually been to Singapore, but I've heard their food courts are amazing. This place feels a lot more special than some random mall food court with Panda Express. I love the fast casual informal nature here, since sometimes you don't want the formalities of table service. Beef Rendang Set: A very hearty meal set! Big chunks of stringy beef penetrated with so many spiced flavors. A decent amount of thick sauce to cover the beef and the rice. One boiled eggs that seems to be covered in a kinda spicy sauce. Very filling and delicious. read more

I got the beef rendang set. If you get it to stay, they provide the food on a plate with metal utensils which is a nice touch. It's similar to how it is at hawker centers in Singapore too. For $20, the set came with beef, fried egg, rice and salad. The salad was fresh and crispy. The fried egg was nice as it was somehow fried whole? It also came with slightly spicy sauce on top. The flavor of the beef was on point and a touch spicy. Actually the spice started the build for me the more I ate it. They also pour the sauce all over the rice which made it much tastier. I wish the beef was slightly more tender like pulled pork as it took a bit of elbow grease to shred the beef pieces with a metal fork and spoon. read more

Food wise it is decent. Given the price, I expected a portion to fill me but it didn't really. With the rice you get a larger portion of food. Service is mostly self service just go grab and get a seat. Can't say much about ambiance. Seems like a nice place to grab dinner. read more

Urban Hawker always delivers on the variety of Asian food options. The food options aren't your traditional American Chinese food but are authentic to countries like Singapore and I'm very glad for that. Location is decent since it's in midtown. For the food, we decided to get the beef rendang. It came with big chunks of beef, rice, salad, and a delicious fragrant sauce. Overall, I felt like it was a good amount of food to feel good despite the price tag. I like how the menu isn't too large so I'll definitely be back to try more. Thank you Padi D'NYC team for recommending the beef rendang option upon asking and bringing the food so quickly to us. I will be back to check out more! read more

Focused menu of Malay Food in Urban Hawker food hall. The beef rendang set ($20) is flavorful but the beef texture isn't as tender as I've had elsewhere. Portions are generous, with five big hunks, dunked in the right amount of sauce, a big heaping mound of rice, an overly hard-boiled egg with a lively pickle salsa, and a generic side salad with some shaved toasted coconut atop. The addition of two skewers of chicken satay side ($6) was easily worth it. Sugary, tender, with a fun traditional sauce. This place delivered like a proper food stall. read more

Solid spot for Malay food! Food: we ordered the lontong which is essentially rice cakes, tofu, veggies mixed in a coconut broth! It was very flavorful! Service: very quick! Ambience: the food hall has a lot of seating which I liked! read more

The best mee rebus I ever had in my entire life. It wasn't too spicy, with just the right amount of flavor. The rice served on the side was fluffy and well cooked. The consistency was perfect. As a rice connoisseur, this was definitely up there. The service was great. The lady that prepared my bowl was friendly and engaged with me as I was filming her (which wasn't even necessary!) read more

Good food. Authentic, too, as the chefs are Malay women (at least for me. Are also men). Asked if wanted my mee rebus to be spicy. Said yes. I lived in Malaysia and know their food is good. Also have satays I enjoyed another time. Unfortunately, think they are priced too high. read more

Padi D'NYC - Mee reebus - Food Stands Near Me - New York, New York

Food (3/5): There was too little meat and compared to rice and veggies. Additionally, the flavor was just OK. For the price point of $20 after tax it's not really worth it. Service (3/5): The person was helpful and got the food out. They unfortunately don't have any water cups but the restaurant nearby was able to provide. Ambiance (5/5): It's in the Urban Hawker which has an amazing ambiance and energy. Tons of seating space but because it's busy, you might have trouble finding seating. read more

Ah, nothing like diving straight into my mother's comfort food. Her Malaysian roots meant I spent a good amount of time north of Singapore and THANKFUL for it. Memories of being 8 eating close to 200 satay skewers that freaked out the vendors and my relatives at the same time still brings a deep smile. Yeah, I was *that* kid. The night before I began my drive to MA, I was reminiscing with my mother about our comfort foods of that era - naming things that are now gone as well as the staples that we picked up in LA - thanks to the diversity and availability there. Lontong, Rendang, and Satay definitely were things on the table that night so it should be no surprise that on the same night here in Urban Hawker, it was all on the table again with multiple text messages to the dear mother telling her just how much I loved and missed her. Her first reaction? $20 for 6 satay??!!!??? (@#*%@*#%#@ - lol) Welcome to NYC mom. ;) Rendang was on the dry side but the flavors were there. Lontong was spot on and it disappeared fast. Ate it as fast as I remembered mom doing it. As for the satay, it's where they lost a star. As tender as it was, as aromatic as it was, it FAILED to shine due to being severely under salted. It was sadly bland. I hope they correct this soon as they have potential. Padi D'NYC is a gateway to what the cuisine has to offer. I won't even say they are remotely close to par with what is normal in Singapore (much less Malaysia). It is a good introduction to the flavors of the cuisine but please don't ever think that this is "it" when it comes to Malay flavors. There is a lot more and I hope they continue to adjust and bolden it up. Thank you and welcome to NYC! read more

Expensive option in the so called hawker center, but basically in line with the other options. Got the chicken curry dish. Portion was on the small side (in fact I had a snack as soon as I got back to my desk). Wasn't the biggest fan of the dish. In fact the meat didnt taste the freshest. I wouldn't be surprised if it was cooked the prior day and microwaved. It wasn't the most flavorful either, which was disappointing for SE asian food. read more

All the dishes were incredible, bursting with flavors! Beef rendang set. The beef is stewed to perfection, melting in your mouth with each bite. Each chunk of meat is infused with the essence of spices. Just can't get enough! Mee rebus. Springy noodles drenched in a savory, sweet, and slightly spicy gravy, topped with fried shallots, diced tofu, and boiled eggs! The whole dish is an extremely comforting and hearty meal. Ayam gulai set. The chicken is incredibly tender and coated with an aromatic spice blend. It's tantalizing to your taste buds. Lontong curry. The lontong rice cake is soft and pairs so well with the rich coconut milk curry. You can taste the depth of the medley of spices. Satay. The chicken and lamb are very well marinated! The meat is juicy and smoky. The peanut sauce provides a beautifully sweet contrast to the grilled skewers. read more

This place is located in a food court called Urban Hawker. I got the fish belando set, which was ready in about 10-15 minutes. It came with salad, rice, and a tofu triangle (I think this replaced the egg that they advertised). The fish was pretty tender and flaky, and had a nice crispy exterior. The sauce was too spicy for me. The salad was meh. The tofu triangle was cold. For the price of $20, I'm not sure if this dish was worth it. read more

I stopped by for a snack and grabbed their Chicken Satay Skewers. It was enticing because I can see them making it behind the counter over a charcoal grill. It really made a difference in the taste and the chicken was very tender. You can tell they use lots of aromatics for seasoning as bits of lemongrass on it - yummy! A bit pricey, but I'm glad I tried it. I'm still thinking about them.. read more
