“ You can never go wrong with Pinoy food. So happy to satisfy my tongue buds with delicious pinoy food. I wish they also have a branch in AZ. Its a restaurant that is close to home. ”
“ We just moved here in San Diego and drop by here yesterday to get some Ensaymada! Then I came back today to have some lunch with my friend. It was a great place to eat, ang sarap ng Bulalo at grilled Pompano. Ate Eva and Ate Magi are very helpful, Ate Magi suggested to try the Avocado Shake at super refreshing! Masarap at fresh avocado sya.. we will surely come back here kasama na ang family next time. ”
“ I recently visited this bakery, excited to indulge in their famous cheesy puffs. However, to our dismay, they had run out of stock. My youngest, an avid fan of their cheesy puffs, couldnt hide her disappointment. Disheartened, we prepared to leave, planning to return earlier next time. Just as we were about to step away, something unexpected happened. A kind gesture from the cashier left us speechless and deeply touched. She hurried after us, presenting a bag containing a pack of the coveted cheesy puffs. Overwhelmed with gratitude, I found myself unable to properly express my thanks, hastily paying for the unexpected gift. The cashiers act of compassion, driven by empathy for my daughters disappointment, left a lasting impression. It reminded us that true heroes often go unnoticed, their capes replaced by simple acts of kindness. This experience was a powerful reminder of the beauty of human generosity, leaving us with hearts full of gratitude and admiration. ”
“ I wanted to try this place again. This time I bought Ube Krinkle cookies and some chicken and pork Siopao Filipino steamed buns for the fam. sooo good! They were fresh, soft, moist, steaming and tasty! Hope you enjoy this little joint. They have a place to eat, too! ”
“ Great authentic Filipino food taste. The servings are family size and meant to be shared. Theres a bakery on site that serves Filipino desserts. If you are looking for ubepurple yam pastries, this is the place for you. Its a little pricier but you get what you pay for in quality and cleanliness. ”
“ We were looking for a bakery near my moms house and we found this place. Heard it was good so we bought the mango cake and the dark forest cake. Mango cake could have been sweeter for my taste buds but since it was practically gubbled up by our guests, Im giving this place 5 because they were delicious. I was lucky to get a piece of the dark forest cake as well before it was gone. I cant say much about the service because we were in and out just to pick up the cakes. But the lady at the cash register was nice enough to add Happy Birthday to both cakes with their names. Will be coming back for cakes again when back in town and try the restaurant part ”
“ Woohoo! My best Holiday treat from Goldilocks! Fried adobo rice topped with lechon, chopped ripe mango, tomatoes and sunny side up egg to go with the best cucumber salad. Others from Seafood City and Lizas kitchenette. Sooo great Filipino Holiday Fiesta. I would like to add my favorite from Goldilocks on other weekends the pinangat pampano which I am addicted to. I get myself this every 3 weeks. Also try their very good Sisig meals and grilled calamari. Thats what I often gift Non Filipino friends for them to try. ”
