Hasian Crunch
Double-fried thigh with a shattering lemongrass-kaffir lime crust, finished with glossy kecap manis and fried shallots.

A Batak word for “beloved”
Shattering fried chicken, bright sambal, palm sugar glaze, and real Indonesian spice. Built for a city that wants dinner hot, fast, and unforgettable.
The Story
Hasian is a Batak word for someone deeply loved — the name our grandmothers used when they fed us. We took that feeling and turned it into shattering crust, hot rice, and sambal that wakes the whole table up.
Indonesia has the world's largest archipelago of cuisines, and almost none of it has made it to American kitchens. We're changing that with fried chicken that crackles on first bite and carries lemongrass, turmeric, kemiri, and heat in every layer.
The chicken comes out bronzed and loud, the glaze lands sweet-salty, and the sambal brings the bright, smoky depth that makes Indonesia taste like Indonesia.

Flavor System
Sambal isn't a side. It's what drips into the rice, cuts through the crust, and makes the second bite better than the first. We hand-pound three every day, each built for a different kind of craving.
Raw, bright, alive
Sliced lemongrass, shallot, kaffir lime, and bird's eye chili. Cold, crunchy heat spooned over hot fried chicken.
The fire
Roasted garlic and chili pounded with palm sugar and shrimp paste. Deep, smoky heat that clings to the crust.
Slow-cooked soul
Toasted coconut, galangal, and chili reduced for hours. Rich, dark, slow heat that eats almost like a sauce.
The Experience
Hasian is built for lunch rushes, late-night cravings, and dinners that start the second the food hits the table. The point is simple: get hot chicken, rice, and sambal into your hands before the steam disappears.
Call your shot and skip the line. We fire close to pickup so the crust stays loud and the chicken lands hot.
Choose your heat, add extra cups, and build each box around bright, smoky, or full-send spice.
Family trays, office lunches, and late-night spreads packed to hold crunch, steam, and sauce on the ride.
Scan, order, sit back, and tear into chicken while it is still crackling. Less waiting, more eating.
The Bar
The drink program is half Indonesian street corner, half Lower East Side coffee shop. Built around palm sugar, ginger, pandan, citrus, and a properly pulled shot that can keep up with the chicken.
Single-origin Sumatran espresso pulled over oat milk and deep palm sugar syrup. Sweet, roasty, and cold.
Fresh lemon shaken with steeped pandan for a bright, herbal snap that cuts straight through fried food.
Black tea steeped with fresh ginger, lemongrass, and palm sugar for a clean finish after the heat.
Coconut cream, palm sugar, green rice jelly, and soft serve melting slowly into the cup.
