Griddle & Rice

This is the last time I’ll try an “internet-famous” restaurant. I’m honestly tired of all the TikTok hype around these Indonesian restaurants. Instead of spending so much effort on social media marketing, they should focus on improving the quality of their food. The food was incredibly disappointing. Everything was deep-fried, greasy, and felt very unhealthy. The prices were outrageous too—5 lamb skewers for $17, and they even charged $2 for a small side of sauce. Theres also a 3% up charge if you use credit card. That’s just ridiculous. The biggest letdown was the taste. The food lacked flavor and didn’t come close to living up to the hype. It felt like I was paying premium prices for mediocre food that was only popular because of social media. I’m so tired of restaurants relying on TikTok advertising instead of serving food that’s actually worth recommending. I won’t be coming back.

Top notch. The ayam geprek was superb. Tender smashed chicken dish with a chili-sambal that was sooo spicy and good. Yum. The Es Kopi Susu (espresso, condensed milk and evaporated milk) was also delish. Excited to have been blessed to go here this morning, I’ll be sure to return to try other things

Since they've been open, it's a place I enjoy going to grab a bite in the morning or even lunch and a coffee. Maybe even a sweet treat. I typically get a breakfast sandwich along with a drink, drink varies, and I like that I can choose a drink based on what I am feeling. Be it a coffee or espresso or even a smoothie or tea. It's a simple menu and I'm always in an out in a reasonable time.

We ordered the nasi uduk, fluffy sammy, matchamisu, and coconut mango matcha—all were AMAZING!! This is my new favorite brunch place! The food was spectacular and the matcha is one of the best in the Philly. The perfect level of sweetness and super strong matcha flavor. The only downside is the lack of seating, but with the weather getting warmer, I’d gladly sit on the curb to enjoy lol

I came here twice actually in one week. Weekend definitely will be hard to get seating, unless you willing to be standing somewhere waiting for tables dining really small. I tried bunch of them from their menu and the most I liked was the veggie fritters, breakfast rice platters, meatball soup. The rest like chicken noodles, chicken congee, chicken satay and nutella banana pancakes were ok. Crews was friendly, bathroom is located outside and the dining table typically like food court, Starbucks, cafeteria type where you put away your own dishes on the bin near entrance door and clean yourself your table to sit. So is not like a restaurant with waitresses.

Absolutely love Griddle n Rice!! One of my FAVORITE places in philly to stop by and get matcha. Their hojicha is super good too!! Staff are very friendly even when it's super busy. Food is delicious! I had their ayam geprek (smashed chicken rice) with the spiciest sambal, it really brought the heat. This place is very cozy, I came with a group of 4 and we just had to wait a little for people to be finished eating for a free table. Don't be afraid to ask people for their table if it seems like they're leaving! I also love the special matcha latte drinks that come out during the seasons. Parking is honestly not hard at all, lots of spaces especially in South Philly. Would definitely recommend to a lot if people, I will be back more often when in the area!

After being in Philly for three years, this place was a nice change and honestly had some of the best Indonesian food I’ve had in a long time. Their matcha is also so rich and creamy (matchamisu) , and it was sweet but not overpowering. The chicken was crispy and so juicy, and the sambal was fresh and you could really taste the flavour in the spices . I will definitely be coming back, I think I’ve found one of my new regular spots! It is a little small, so if it is crowded be prepared to wait for a seat or takeout, but it’s so worth the wait! The staff was also super friendly and really nice!
