Goldilocks' malagkit na bibingka was not the kind of bibingka I expected. I recommend Valerio's Filipino bakery which is just a few steps away from Goldilocks. Their bibingka has a "best before date." Texture is soft. You can tell it is freshly made.

Goldilocks has chicken chop-suey every Wednesday & Weekends. It's sooooo good! It has cut boneless chicken, qual eggs, baby corn, broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, onions, cabbage, green beans, Zucchini, chaote squash, and more! Also love so many other things they have their, like the tocino, longaniza, bistek, adobo, Pancit, etc! Highly recommend. But they need to create a different way to order, the whole ordering process needs an overhaul. So many people want to eat there at lunch but can't, because it takes so long to order sometimes. But the food is really good and makes up for the long ordering times.
Actually, the customer was already in front but still talking.Anyways about the food, the 3 I ordered are ok, hubby is happy with the lechon paksiw, I don't type too much. I liked the bopis and dinigua.Not in picture was the brownies, a bit sweet and dry.Of course I will be back. Manila, Manila, I keep coming back to Manila, Manila coming home.?

Bring back the coffee during breakfast time. Everything is also overpriced here. The quality of food has gone way way down over the years.

I stoped by on Friday to pick up a few treats for our friends - special mamon. Grabbed chicken empanadas that were still warm. Love them cuz they don't have raisins! The staff was super helpful and friendly. Always easy to get in and out w/ what you need.

ATBP was out of the polvoron flavors I prefer (the plain kinds), so I stopped by Goldilocks and found what I was looking for. I was delighted to see pretty much all of their colorful flavors neatly on display, including the new pinocolada and cranola sunrise. I also checked out their hot food station, but they didn't have a lot of variety, so I just picked up a couple pork bbq skewers to go (they do have indoor seating if you want to dine in). These bbq sticks were served lukewarm and the taste was okay, but I've had better... not much sauce on these and probably had been sitting in the food display case for a while (nothing a microwave can't fix at home). The service was slow too, which was strange since there were more employees behind the counter than customers standing in line. With many filipino eateries at the Milpitas Mall Shopping Center (Seafood City plaza), this is clearly not one of the better options... But gotta love those polvorons! And their offerings for cakes and packaged goods aren't bad either.

VERY RUDE! STALE BREAD ROLLS! VERY POOR SERVICE!Pre ordered lumpia and bread rolls for pick up at 12 noon on Christmas eve. It took us an hour and a half wait to get our order. Apparently they had to take frozen lumpia from their refrigerator and asked the kitchen to cook it just then. We waited until it was cooked then as soon as it came the person who was about to place our order in a bag stopped and entertained someone else who had to show him something on his phone. He knew we were waiting but instead of handing our order to us he , took his sweet time of entertaining a persons phone and completely ignored us! Very RUDE! On top of that, we came home, served the bread rolls and it was STALE. I ordered two bags of bread rolls and both were stale.It took them one hour and a half to prepare our pre ordered pre paid food. Apparently the person infront of us had a problem with her pre ordered food. We all had to wait until they were able to solve the mis communication of the person's order... it was spaghetti then change to something else ...etc.Very RUDE and very POOR quality of food and very POOR SERVICE!!!If there is a zero or no star at all that would be my rating for Goldilocks in Milpitas!

Food here is good but customer service is terrible. Been here on multiple occasions where i get handed off to different ladies serving the food so I have something different from when I first order because the different people helping me have different opinions on how the order can be completed. Idk hella weird and inconvenient. More so because this has happened multiple times. Believe me I love Goldilocks but the front of house here needs to improve. Shoutouts to the cooks though!
Got the palobo pancit. Good portions for one or even to share with two people. Glass noodles topped with orange sweet vinegary, green onions, and half a hard boiled egg ont he side. Has packaged lemon juice to pour over. Also tried the bbq pork. It was a little cold but after heating it up at home it was very saucy and sweet. It gets busy during lunch but service is fast. Ordered from their bakery the white mocha roll. Not too sweet and perfect to slice up and share with episode. Very soft and spongy.

Visited Goldilocks Restaurant with high hopes given the iconic name associated with Filipino cuisine, but unfortunately, I was left rather disappointed. First off, their portions felt minimalistic at best. Each dish seemed to favor an excessive amount of soup while skimping on the actual meat, which was quite a letdown. The quality of their offerings didn't resonate with the authentic Filipino flavors I've been accustomed to, especially when compared to the heartwarming meals from one's home.Furthermore, while I understand that restaurants can get swamped during peak times, the staff's demeanor took a sharp turn for the worse when things got busy. The rudeness exhibited was uncalled for and significantly impacted the overall dining experience.In a place where genuine Filipino food is a cultural treasure, Goldilocks sadly falls short in delivering both in taste and service. I'd recommend exploring other options if you're keen on relishing true Filipino flavors.

***Review is for the cake area only***My brother and his girlfriend placed a birthday cake order here with a Baby Shark theme for decorations. The flavors they chose was a vanilla cake with chocolate cream. The cake came out really nice and tasted great. The icing decoration was done well and it wasn't too much. The cake flavor reminded me of the cakes I got when I lived in the Philippines. It wasn't dry, it was sweet but not too overwhelming and the cake to cream ratio was just right. The price for this cake is less than $50. If this was a Safeway or any other bakery, it would be higher. This cake was actually edible and appealing, versus overly decorated cakes. We were able to get at least 18 slices from this size. We will be ordering more cakes from Goldilocks.

I just got back from Goldilocks in Milpitas and I never taste and worst halo halo. They call it "special halo halo" and nothing but gelatin or gulaman in it!?They should changed the name to just basic halo because definitely not special halo halo for sure!?
