“ Had dinner at Patok by Rach in Inwood today and my cravings were truly satisfied. I had the lechon kawali—crispy like a good life decision and the pancit palabok, which tasted like a warm hug from the universe. Very generous servings. Washed it all down with a cold, crisp Red Horse Beer. Best part? I got to meet Rach herself, and she’s as warm and vibrant as her food. She didn’t just serve dinner, she also served joy. Go hungry, leave full and heart full of contentment! ”
“ My mother-in-law and nephew got me a gift card from here for my birthday because they know how much I love eating here! I always order takeout and never had the chance to dine in the restaurant. My family and I finally went out on a late Wednesday afternoon and we were warmly welcomed by Rachel. As we sat down, we immediately ordered the Appetizer sampler that had a little but of every appetizer on the menu. The lumpia was fresh, chicken fritters were tasty and the chicharron was very meaty. Shortly after, we ordered our entrees. We initially wanted the Barkada box which we thought was a great deal for sharing. But we opted to order several entrees and shared everything family style. Up next was the chicken adobo, Lechon, Pancit Bam-i, and. Bangus (milkfish). When I tell you, EVERYTHING TOUCHED MY SOUL!!! You can tell that every dish was put together with love. From the taste to the presentation, it was amazing. To end our visit, we couldn’t leave without the star of the show, the Halo Halo. This dessert always takes be back home to the Philippines. Rachel took some time to chat with us and share each other’s backgrounds. It’s amazing how Filipino food is impacting the food scene and we will continue to support Patok by Rach as the food is great and perfect portion and value for the money. If you haven’t tried Filipino food yet, this place is a great way to get introduced! ”

“ Just attended a private event at the restaurant for a birthday part and was blown away by the food. The restaurant is super clean and has an A rating. The staff is warm and friendly. I'll definitely be back. If you're in the area definitely stop bye. ”
“ The food is delicious. The appetizer platter is worth getting just to be able to taste everything. The chicken skewers were my favorite appetizer. They're glazed with a soy sauce and charred into slight sweetness which contacts with the saltines. The chicken sig sig with garlic rice was great. The sauce on the chicken was so good when mixed in with the rice and a bit of the vinegar. Makes the rice just a bit wet. The lechon with garlic rice was amazing. The pork was very tender and the chicharon crackled beautifully when bitten. The calamanzi orange juice was good. Just cotrusy enough without being overpowering. The sago gulamon was okay. It is sweet and has a sweet lingering aftertaste. The jelly is a nice texture. The ube cake flan combo is delicious. It is nice and sweet, and has a good texture. combine with ube ice cream if you like wet desserts. The sweet plantain lumpia are good too. Just a hint of sweetness from the barely ripening green plantain with a bit of chocolate sauce drizzled on top. Will be coming back ”
“ Really good food! Tried Patok by Rach in Inwood and honestly, it hits the spot if you're craving Filipino food. The lechon kawali was super crispy and juicy, just how it should be. Loved the pork lumpia too — perfectly crunchy and flavorful. Place has a chill vibe, very homey. Staff was nice!!! Overall, really good spot for comfort food that feels close to home. Will definitely be back. ”
“ If you're craving authentic Filipino cuisine, Patok By Rach is a must-visit! Their menu is filled with flavorful, well-crafted dishes that truly embody the essence of Filipino food. The crispy pata is perfectly golden and crunchy, the sinigang strikes the ideal balance of sour and savory, and the lechon kawali is simply irresistible. My personal favorite is the chicken inasal—at other places, I rarely finish my plate, but at Patok By Rach, I couldn’t stop eating. The pork sisig and pork belly are also must-tries. And don’t skip dessert! The halo-halo is a perfect sweet treat, and their leche flan is so good that I had to take extras home. They also offer a great selection of beer and wine at excellent prices. The San Miguel beer is a great selection to pair with the food! The warm, inviting ambiance makes it a fantastic spot for both casual dining and special gatherings. Plus, the service is friendly and attentive, ensuring a top-notch dining experience. There is also a tree inside the restaurant! It makes you wonder, how did the tree get in there? A nice background for a group photo too. Whether you're a longtime fan of Filipino cuisine or trying it for the first time, Patok By Rach guarantees a delicious and satisfying meal. Highly recommended! ”
