Griddle And Rice

2151 S 22nd St, Philadelphia, PA

Crema's Take

This intimate Philly spot brilliantly blends Southeast Asian breakfast and specialty drinks into something genuinely crave-worthy—their matcha drinks (especially the matchamisu) and hojicha are creamy and rich, while the griddle and rice benedict and creme brulee french toast arrive tasting genuinely made with care. Fair warning: it's tiny and wildly popular on weekends, so plan for a potential wait or go on a weekday when you can actually linger over coffee and chat without fighting for a table. The staff keeps things warm and welcoming even when slammed, making this the kind of place Philly regulars keep coming back to multiple times a week.

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!

Came by on weekday for lunch and had no wait and was the only person dining in for a while. I got the breakfast platter and the fritter and rice were delicious. I was not too impressed with the chicken, but I will try the smashed chicken for next time instead. The portions were pretty generous as well. I also got the strawberry matcha was fantastic and I would definitely come back again for the matcha.

One of the best tasting breakfast of my life! We got the griddle and rice benedict, supreme sammy and creme brulee french toast. Everything tasted so fresh and made with love! The coffee selection was so hard to choose from but we got the tiramisu latte and pandan latte. The flavor of the espresso in the drinks was so rich and smooth. We will definitely be returning soon to try other items on the menu!

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!
