“I placed an online order, but unfortunately, it did not go through on time due to an issue with your system. When I arrived at the store, the kitchen was already closed, and cleaning was underway. Despite this, their team graciously reopened the kitchen and prepared my order. This level of dedication and customer care is truly commendable and goes above and beyond what I expected.

It’s rare to encounter such attentiveness and willingness to help, especially when procedures have technically concluded for the day. Red Ribbon National City staff’s actions ensured I received my order without having to go elsewhere, and this made a significant positive impression on me.

Thank you for maintaining such high standards of customer service. It’s experiences like these that build customer loyalty and trust.“

“I have partnered with Sugared Cookie Co. to offer a sweet treat with the grazing boxes I create and they are always a hit with my customers. The company is professional, has great communication and always delivers on time. I have also had the opportunity to enjoy the cookies myself and I love the soft texture plus creative designs! I love that they can customize cookies and sweets for every occasion. They keep the price affordable without sacrificing quality.“

“The bread here is amazing! I arrived in the morning around 830am and the smell is intoxicating in the best way. I ordered the regular pan de sal as well as the ube and cheese pan de sal. It's the best pan de sal I have ever had! It melts in your mouth and has the ideal pillowy texture you want. The ube variety has the cheese inside and it is perfect! You can't eat just 1. The customer service was great and the shop overall is well mantained. I am already planning my next trip back. It's a must try bakery.

Eat up!!“

“What a hidden gem! I felt so welcomed like I was having lunch at Grandma’s house and I was family. The service is so friendly and kind. The food was amazing as well. One of the best Filipino breakfast spots and pan de sal bread! They don’t just sell cakes and desserts. In the back corner is hot to go food and lumpia. Come check out this hidden San Diego Filipino food gem and support a wonderful small family business“

“I can't believe I've driven past this place numerous times without realizing it was there! A friend of mine stopped by and brought Spanish bread, which was the best I've ever tasted, hands down! She mentioned that everything at this bakery is good, so I decided to visit for the first time, and it did not disappoint.

It's located in a strip mall, and the shop itself is quite small with limited items on the shelves. This is actually a good sign, as it indicates that they sell out quickly and make everything fresh daily, unlike another bakery I used to frequent where items would sit for days.

During my visit, I ordered siomai, cheese balls, pandesal, ube bread, pork asado siopao, guinataan, and pancit, and everything was excellent! The baked items, except for the guinataan and pancit, were all bite-sized, which I love. The cheese balls had just the right amount of cream cheese—not too much and not too little. They were my favorite!

As for the pancit, it contained liver, which I enjoy, so it was perfect for me and tasted delicious. It wasn’t greasy at all. However, a family member of mine doesn't like liver, so I’m wondering if Salie can make the pancit without liver for those who aren’t fans. I’ll have to ask.

All I can say is that everything I bought here was fresh and delicious! I will definitely be coming back again and again. Plus, the lady at the register was so sweet!“

“Never been to Hawaii and now I don't have to 😁 I got the plain, guava, and Bavarian cream. They were really good and the coffee was bomb. My Bavarian cream had a little chocolate on it and I was not mad at that. If they had a mix, I would get it. Donut was fluffy and not oily tasting.“

“Bread is nice and soft. Lots of pink items for my daughter's birthday feast. The lady there was so sweet and helpful. She arranged all our pan dulce on a cardboard platter and covered it in cellophane for us. Love this plane. My new go to Panadería.“

“Picked up adobo chicken, Shanghai lumpia, empanadas- all my Filipino favorites. Everything tasted so delicious, hot, and fresh. Thank you for cooking and making my day even better!!“

“Delish Sapin sapin don’t taste the same like home. They separate from each other. Otherwise delicious 😋“

“It’s been good 6-7 year since the last time we dine-in at Goldilocks.

We decided to have our brunch after in laws morning appointment. Got lucky for a parking knowing it’s hard to get one on a weekend close to the restaurant. Attentive staff from start to finish. It was 930AM but decided not to order breakfast items instead ordered our regular UBER orders.

Ordered the following:

Crispy Pata - it’s a must for us! Crispy skin and juicy pata meat. Ordered Crispy Pata here five times last year through UBER since we just love how juicy and crispy it is.

Pansit Canton - well seasoned and great amount of toppings i.e veggies and meat. Noodles not overcooked.

Fresh Lumpia - not pictured. Fresh veggies wrapped in crepe with sweet savory peanut sauce completes the dish.

Highly recommend if you’re craving for some Filipino dishes.“

“It smells delish throughout the mall. I first got the cinabites and the 4 of us weren't satisfied. Bought the big one and we shared. Guy was so happy at his job that it makes me want to go just to see him. But the Buns are the Bomb. Enjoy“

“Best hopia baboy in all of San Diego County. Might even be the best in all of Southern California, but I haven’t visited every place that sells hopia baboy just yet. I was disappointed to learn that another hopia place I like didn’t even have pork ingredients in their hopia baboy, which goes against the name, but this is unfortunately commonplace at Filipino bakeries. Since Ching’s primary focus is hopia rather than something else like pandesal or other baked goods, the hopia baboy remains authentic with real lard and no artificial flavors.“
