“ So Tasty!! You can never find a gem like this around California. The sweet and the topping are perfectly blended ”
“ THIS UPDATE REVIEW IS IMPORTANT TO BE SHARED - ESPECIALLY TO NEW CUSTOMERS: I'm not going to repeat about how great are the Martabaks in this review, again. Because they ARE & SOOO WORTH IT, although... its-kind-of-hard-to-get BTW, They take debit/credit card payments now! My BFF and I, had been craving for Martabak! So, we were calling soooo many times on Friday to order, no body picked up. Found out that they were closed! We were kind of in "panicky mode" to be honest! Haha Yesterday, a bit after opening hours, finally able to talk to the owner.. Yayyy!! We were informed: If one tries to call a few times and no one picked up the phone, it means they are closed for the day! So.. there's no need to try over and over again like we did Good to know! LOL While we were there, a lady was picking up 10 Martabak! Then it was our turn.. we ordered 4 Martabak (2 pandan 2 regular). Two other ladies came in after us to pick up their orders as well! Wow... still so busy at 4 pm! When we were waiting for our orders, there were a few girls came in and tried to order some Martabak to go.. only to find out that was not doable! They left... then returned to try to order again for tomorrow (sunday) but too bad.. this place close on Sunday! They were dissapointed. I told them.. that's okay.. it will be so worth it later We explained to them, they MUST order prior to the pick up day. Because they put customers on the list & no extra batter were made for walk in customers. This is good to know! It means everything is made fresh to order every day and not pre made in big batch! I placed my order a bit after 11, I was told to pick up my orders at 4 PM. So.. new customers.. don't go and think to order there for to-go.. it won't work! Especially if you live far away and had to drive all the way there to get the GOOD STUFF! This time, I asked for Pandan Martabak with Cashew & Cheese with less butter (to ease up my guilt LOL) It was soooo worth our almost 2 hour drive there! I remembered to take the pics of the entire Martabak . But, I don't have the pictures from my BFF of the three Martabaks she ordered LOL ”
“ The martabak is delicious, but the last time I bought some, I feel like the quality is not the same anymore. Still good but it wasn't like before, could only be just for that day though ”
“ One of the best martabaks I've had in Socal! Unfortunately you need to call ahead to order and can only pickup at a certain time, they're also closed most of the time but other than that the food is good! ”
“ Our go-to place to get Martabak Manis. The best one in SoCal, IMO! Price is decent, service is good, and I just found out that they now accept credit cards also! Hooray! (They used to accept cash only). Order ahead of time by phone is highly recommended because it takes a while to make them. FYI, they have limited opening business days and hours. ”
“ The only place that came close to home town feels in terms of martabak. The store also sells few indonesian snack items. They have original martaback (chocolate-cheese-peanuts) and different flavors. We love the pandan flavor with any toppings. Note : don't forget to order it ahead of time! ”
“ Place was clean, service was okay and the wait wasn't too long, 30mins for 2 martabak. I love the Pandan Durian Cheese, i wish they put more durian in it. lol. I will be back to try their cendol durian! ”
“ We called and place our order first before we pick up . This time I tried Durian cheese and I love it . It actually tastes really good . Will order this again next time ”
“ 2024 Update! The martabak here is simply amazing! It also helps a lot that it's basically the only place nearby that even sells it. I haven't been able to find any other restaurant or business that makes them. These are well-made too! It's rich, buttery, and delicious. I really need to try just their sweetcorn and cheese next time. Just as a warning, CALL YOUR ORDER IN before going. As far as I know, they don't allow walk-in orders because it does take around 15 minutes to make one depending on if they have other orders already or not. They have a large variety of combos and even if you don't find one they have, you might be able to ask for specific ones or to take out a specific one you don't like! The price is worth it. I would keep coming here every day if it wouldn't be such a heart stopper to eat one each day Honestly, I highly recommend this place and martabak to people! ”
