Was esi shakiba at Purple Patch a mag?
I'm secretly happy I don't live nearby, or I'd be a regular. The calamansi tea was outstanding, and the ube pancakes have set a new standard for me. I visited with my family, and everyone enjoyed their meals. This place is definitely a must-try. View all feedback.

Monday, 1st august with a friend who was recommended to the place. ambiente? the seats in the free tipper noticeable; silver goods do not stay in the place and Metro buses blow out exhaust customs away. the waiters were prompt, pleasant and helpful. we eat for dinner. I ordered fried fish that were so overcooked that was little edible. it was dark, dry and hard, and looked like it had been fried several times. a strange, sugary sauce, pooled among the fish, makes her soggy. my companion ordered bark short ribs that were in fact not short ribs, but potted, a too small expensive part drown in another strange sweet sauce. neither of us could taste the garlic in our garlic rice. Thank you, but no thanks. never again.
I came especially for her ube waffel with fried chicken and ube eis and it was not disappointed! the chicken could be a bit less dry, but the whole dish came together very well! the spicy mango margarita was amazing. I recommend that. I'd get it back when I get back. the service was also amazing. the waiters looked after us very well and were very polite, friendly and attentive.
Incredible food! I can't give it enough stars. sizzling sisig is very meat heavy and very well made. brotpudding was excellent and the others that we tried were great. service was excellent, good vegetarian options, and I like that they automatically add 20% congratulate to their bill. comes back in definitiw!
My man and I love to eat filipino, but there is not much of it in charlotte (where we come from) a Yelp friend recommended me this point, and it was just a block from which we stayed, so it did not come to a brainsen. they make every day brunch, but the best part is, they can also order during the brunch hours from the dinner menu! if they want most options, go to the brunch. my man and I shared ube waffle filipino fried chicken with ube ice cream sizzling sisig- ube bread pudding- ube cheesecake between the entrees, the sizzling sisig was my favorite I love this court and this is the best version of that I had. the ube waffle was not bad, but I couldn't taste a ube. as dessert, I brought the ube cheesecake. the ube taste was strong in this. it wasn't a denser cheesecake I liked. I was disappointed at the ube bread pudding. the menu said it should come with caramel sauce, but instead it was covered in chocolate sauce. I don't like chocolate, so I didn't eat it. I wish the menu had been exact because I would have ordered it without the chocolate sauce if I had known. I would like to come back because there were many others I wanted to try.

First off the staff here is AMAZING...when dining in ask for: Jose, he will definitely take good care of you. Alex, their General Manager, is super knowledgeable especially with the history of the restaurant. I ordered the Pancit Mahal to go and me and my husband enjoyed it so much that for my birthday Dec 16) my husband surprised me with a delivery from Purple Patch. Plus, Jose made sure I enjoyed my birthday with a dessert and a personalized note to me with best wishes. I highly recommend Purple Patch if you want to try authentic traditional Filipino food. ????????????
Purple Patch DC was a delightful dining establishment that definitely lives up to its name: most of the menu items are adorned with a garnish of purple (Ube ice cream, orchid, etc. , and the restaurant is tucked into a patch down a small set of stairs. The menu consisted of hearty, American food with a fancy Filipino twist, and my party tried a variety of food options that we all found delicious (as presented in the photos of this review . Some of our favorite beverages were the Spicy Calamansi Margarita, made with their house infused roasted jalapeno tequila, and the Purple Patch Hot Cider, which paired well with our meals on this cold, snowy winter afternoon. Some of our favorite food items were the Fried Calamansi Wings, Crispy Eggplant, Crab Fritters, Fried Red Snapper, and their signature Ube Waffle Filipino Fried Chicken, in which the chicken was braised with soy and vinegar and the Ube Waffle was served with a scoop of Ube ice cream and a side of macapuno (coconut syrup. Also, because it was my birthday, I was gifted with the most delicious thing to ever grace the surface of my taste buds the Ube Bread Pudding was by far, one of the most heavenly things I 've tasted, and was the absolute perfect way to top off this amazing brunch experience. The bread itself was warm and lightly sweetened with condensed milk, while served with a caramel drizzle, granola and a scoop of Ube ice cream. Overall, between the superior customer service, low key, homey ambiance, delicious entrees and divine cocktails, the entire brunch experience was absolutely splendid! While they don 't take reservations, I highly recommend Purple Patch and encourage you to call in advance the day of your planned visit. No matter what you order, be sure to try the Ube Bread Pudding and you won 't be disappointed!
We LOVE this restaurant. Recommend catching the happy hour that?s until 7 on weekdays ???? Every dish and drink is so yummy. Waiters are friendly and offer great service. Atmosphere is nice but relaxed. You don?t need reservations and very affordable with big portions. My Filipino friend said it was some of the best spicy fried chicken he?s had Celebrated my birthday here and they gave us a delicious serving of ube bread pudding, best bread pudding I?ve had!
Incredible food!!!! Can't give it enough stars. Sizzling sisig is very meat heavy and very well done. Bread pudding was excellent and the other few things we tried were great. Service was excellent, good vegetarian options, and I like that they automatically add 20% gratuity to your bill. Will definitely come back!
I came specifically for their ube waffles with fried chicken and ube ice cream and it didn?t disappoint! The chicken could be a bit less dry but the whole dish came together very well! The spicy mango margarita was amazing. I definitely recommend that. I?d get it again if I come back. The service was also amazing. The waiters took care of us very well and was very polite, friendly and attentive.

Tried the Purple Patch for some authentic Filipino food, when we visited D.C.. We had the sigsig, pork adobo, longanisa. The adobo had a little too much sauce, but everything tasted good and the ambiance was quaint and cozy (we sat outside). Don’t forget to check out their store upstairs for some to-go items!
Excellent food service. Crab stuffed red snapper was great with an actually really good side salad. Get the banana bread w Ube ice cream dessert — just the right amount of sweetness. Only disappointment (not pictured) was the papaya salad — kinda dry like it had been sitting awhile.. not sure if that’s the intention of the dish. Overall, recommend!
I recently went to Purple Patch for my close friend’s birthday. He chose this place from previous recommendations given by his family. I look at the food prior to coming, but I had low expectations. After dining there I can honestly say that my expectations are blown out of the water. Our server Ky (or Kai) did a great job giving us the full scope of the menu and different options we had as we were ordering our appetizers and entrées. We ordered enough food for the three of us to be satisfied. First we order the sweet pork skewers, grilled miso wings, crispy eggplant and the brussels sprouts. They were all awesome. My favorite was the brussels sprouts. Following we ordered three entrées. An item from the pork, seafood, and beef section. The ambience of this restaurant was very homey. Our seat was comfortable lounge couch. We spent about 2 1/2 hours there celebrating my friend’s birthday. I definitely look forward to coming back.
Went to D.C. for a mini trip and went to Purple Patch TWICE! The sisig garlic rice were spectacular, and the halo-halo was a nice treat to remind us of home. Awesome customer service and set-up (outdoor and indoor sitting; sat outside and lucked out with a sunny D.C. day! . Easy payment options (Apple Pay . Would come here again if I'm ever in D.C.!
