Haven't stepped foot in a Goldilocks restaurant/bakery in YEARS! Let alone this particular one. Upon entering, we were not greeted and were confused as to whether or not we find our own table to dine in or wait to be seated. A minute or so later, a lady told us, with a little attitude, to go ahead and take the table right by the front door, as if we should have known. Smh. She also seemed annoyed when we asked her for the prices of the dishes. She brought a separate menu that lists their dishes with the prices. How ridiculous is that?! One menu with no price and another (for their reference only?) We ordered 2 palabok's and 1 dinuguan, a side of steamed rice because it doesn't come with it-SMH, halo halo and fresh lumpia to go, water with no ice and a Pepsi. She comes back with the drinks and the water had ice! I checked in on Yelp to get a free ensymada delight and I tell her about it and she says that I can do that when I pay my bill, by the bakery side. What if I want to eat it there after I have my meal?! Do I have to get it to go?I have to wait and pay my bill first?! Wth!! Oh the Pepsi was $4 and some change! Whaaa?!!! That's straight up robbery! Lol!!!!
Overall, the food was meh. I guess it satisfied our hunger. Nothing special. Palabok, I can make at home and probably taste better. Pepsi, I can buy two 2 liters vs their one cup with ice and pay the same price, if not cheaper. Lol Hubby said the dinuguan was ok. He still loves the way my mom makes it. Service sucks, no wonder their Yelp rating is only 3 stars. Lol! Goldilocks just isn't the same anymore. The ensymada was dry! What the heck happened? I used to be a VIP member, until they stopped that membership when another company took over around 2007(?) or so. I went to Goldilocks almost every week, back in California! Most definitely will not come back here again. My MIL and I, as well as Hubby, agree that Red Ribbon has better palabok and service.
