Purple Roots was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was excellent, with so many great options to choose from, and everything we tried was full of flavor. I also loved that it highlights Filipino cuisine and roots from the Philippines, which made the whole experience feel even more special and authentic. The restaurant was very clean, beautifully decorated, and filled with details that reflect the culture in such a warm and thoughtful way. The atmosphere was inviting, unique, and full of charm. Definitely a 5-star spot and a place I’d happily return to.

Fully vegan

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Walked in to the sound of wind chimes lightly playing. Immediately greeted by a nice Filipina lady asking my bf and I if it was our first time, and since it was we said yes! She promptly helped us by guiding us around the screen / menu. She was super sweet and friendly. Our food is authentic, full of flavor and completely delicious. The sauces are sweet, spicy, tangy and normal salty - garlic and soy. The atmosphere is welcoming, quiet - easy to talk, and comfy. The restaurant is beautiful, full of Filipino decor :) We ordered halo halo drink/dessert, lumpia, glass noodles and bistec..: it was all so so good!!

We came last Friday 2/6 and it wasn’t too busy (thankfully) but when we were leaving it was getting busy. Let me start with the staff was helpful and answered any questions. The environment was Filipino filled memorabilia and gives you that feel. To eat we started with the Lumpia with pork. These were probably some of the best we have ever had. They were crunchy, and juicy at the same time would order these again in a heart beat. Then we wanted to try Bao Buns with BBQ pork. They were so good! The bun was so soft and the pork was good too. Then here came the Pancit with Chicken. This was soooo good and the flavors were plenty. The amount of seasoning and flavors that came out of this was beyond comprehension. Go here enjoy it try anything and everything and you wont be disappointed.
