What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On "Filling Up on Philly" (aired 2020-08-21), Guy Fieri visited Hardena, a South Philadelphia warteg-style Indonesian restaurant, and praised it as the neighborhood's leading source for Indonesian cuisine, according to PhillyVoice. Hardena was founded in 2001 by Ena and Harry Widjojo to bring Indonesian home cooking to the neighborhood's Indonesian immigrant community, and has been run by their daughters, Diana and Maylia, since 2017, according to Finanta, a community lender that profiled the family business. A 2026-09-08 site check found hardenapa.com still active at the same 1754 S Hicks St address, listing weekday and Sunday hours and a working online-ordering system for its cafeteria-style menu of Indonesian dishes. Google Places likewise lists the restaurant's status as operational as of the same check.
