A quick pickup stall inside of Seafood City market. My family is a big fan of the chocolate moist cake. Quick pick up and go for a six pack of the cake. The staff rings up my order quickly and efficiently. There is no seating for this bakery, just the ones fo public use in the market. read more

Red Ribbon Bakeshop - MOLD! - Desserts Near Me - Irvine, California

It's been about two years since I last reviewed the empanadas at this Red Ribbon Bakeshop located inside Seafood City, and I'm happy to report they still taste great, especially the Spicy Chicken flavor. It's exactly what I love: sweet, savory, and spicy. Prices have gone up a bit since my last visit. My favorite Spicy Chicken Empanada is now $3.59. That said, the empanadas do feel a bit pricey for their size. Some flavors, like the pork and beef, are noticeably smaller in volume and weight, which is disappointing. Still, if you're into spicy, I definitely recommend trying the Spicy Chicken. It hits all the right notes for me! read more

I ordered online so I could pick it up quickly before my shift, but when I arrived, the staff hadn't even seen my order yet . It looked like she was focused on waiting for a customer and didn't check the online orders at all. I told her I might need to cancel because I'd be late for work if I waited another 20-30 minutes, but she insisted on not canceling. Instead, she gave me what seemed like uncooked or cold chicken empanadas--honestly, it looked like they just came straight from the freezer. Super disappointing experience. Just a heads up for others--it might be better to call ahead if you're planning to order. read more

I can't say enough good things about this bakeshop! Every visit feels like a treat, not just because of the incredible pastries, but because of the overall experience. Friendly staff. I also appreciate the ambiance and how they seem to offer a nice variety, with something new to try each time I visit. It keeps things exciting and gives me a reason to keep coming back. read more

First time coming here and I'm amazed at all the different kinds of desserts. They have a variety of butter mamon (my new fav are butter and mocha) and I like how they have a deal where you buy 6 and get 1 free. Extra yumminess. Since it's my dad's birthday I got him a strawberry cake. Apparently it's their new item. So cool! I also like how they have their classy chocolate cake which I'll get for Fathers Day. Tons of ube sweets as well (flan, cake, and mamon). Service was good. Located in Supercity Seafood Market and next to Jollibee. Only downside is they don't make their baked goods here as it gets transported from their City of Industry location. I like how there's expiration date stickers on their packages so you can pick fresher ones! They also have empanadas sold here but I didn't get a chance to buy some as they were sold out. Next time! read more

Conveniently located in front of Seafood City. Employees were courteous and helpful, and the items were displayed properly so you could choose what you wanted. I like the Butter Mamon and the Taisan, but the Cheesy Mamon didn't taste good. read more

Service was great! Heidi was very helpful when choosing a cake. We chose the Mango cake and it was moist and delicious. Not too sweet. The place looked clean and tidy. Shelves were stocked up with many delicious items. Will be coming back to try other cakes for our next celebration. read more

They have so much dessert to offer. The young lady was helpful and suggested for me to try their mango supreme and the chicken empanada. The mango slice was heavenly. Is so fresh and moist. And the empanada was savory and filling. I would definitely come back and try more different pastry. read more

Red Ribbon Bakeshop - It's mango cake - Desserts Near Me - Irvine, California

We've been going to red Ribbon Bakery for many years. This was my first time to the location on Barranca Pkwy. I drove 30 minutes bc I wanted to purchase something that I had tried and tested for my MIL's birthday. There was one lady there whose attitude was more like I was interrupting and bothering her, as I tried to decide on the size and flavor of the cake. I dismissed her unfriendly service attitude and went with the mocha roll. Unfortunately, it ended up being a big mistake. As we sat down for dessert, I was explaining to my inlaws how these Asian bakeries tend to have the lightest sponge cakes with such delicate and light cream frosting. This cake, however, was unlike any other Red Ribbon bakery cake that I had purchased in the past, and we've been going to the 90703 location for over 20 years. This cake was very dense and rubbery in texture, and there would have been no way to know because it's covered in the cream. SO disappointing and SO embarrassing. As a baker, you know when you've messed up. And then ice it and sell it to someone for a special occasion, .... I don't have words to express how not cool that is. Will never be going back there again. I will find another go-to place that's local to me now. read more

Red Ribbon Bakeshop - Mocha roll--unfortunately, the cake was dense and rubbery - Desserts Near Me - Irvine, California

The place is actually a hidden gem inside Seafood City supermarket. Their cakes are so beautiful, but they only have one size and I can't eat the whole big cake then I didn't buy them. I only bought some mamon and ensaimada breads. I like butter mamon and ube one . But ensaimada is little weird taste for me because of the salty from the cheese and the sweet from the bread which are not really perfect pairing. Overall I will come back and buy the big size cake for some special occasions. read more

Parking: It's a big parking lot so you won't have a problem finding a spot but it does get busy (due to the market and Jollibee) so you may not be able to find a close spot during peak hours. Cakes: Their cakes are what I come to Red Robbin for. They're not too sweet and they have a great selection. The Mango Supreme is a crowd favorite and the Choco Mocha Crunch is fun with the honeycomb candy on top (which is super sweet as expected). My favorite would have to be the Mocha Roll because I love all things coffee-flavored (and again, it's not too sweet!). Empanadas: I find them delicious - especially heated up! I don't love breading/carbs but their dough is WORTH IT. Not sure if they still have the special but it used to be buy 6, get 1 free. Mamon: Their butter mamons are light and fluffy - I usually stick them in the fridge or eat them right away and have never had an issue with them going bad. They're nice to snack on but I personally never buy them - usually get them from my mother-in-law when she buys a pack. Brownies: If you want a rich, sweet chocolate brownie - you should try these! They are thick and would be too heavy for me if they were sized any bigger. Perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. Service: The ladies who help me out are usually super friendly and nice. read more

I first saw this bakery in the Seafood Market but didn't really think to order anything until I recently received DashPass and wanted to use my $5 off promo. The arroz caldo sounded so good in the description. Everything I could ever like in a bowl! Chicken, rice, mushrooms, garlic, onions. I needed a minimum order of $12 to qualify for free delivery, so I went ahead and ordered the palabok and beef empanada as well. Total, without the promo, was around $17-18 (STEEP for what you get). Of the three, the empanada was probably the most ok. With the other two, I honestly was really unsure what I was eating. It didn't look or taste like real food. Just a disappointing experience overall. I also usually feel hungry multiple times of the day, but the food was so heavy that I had lost my appetite for the rest of the day haha. I normally hate wasting food, but the thought of having to finish the rest makes me want to throw up a little. I will not be ordering from here again. read more

I finally had the chance to visit the Red Ribbon Bakeshop in Irvine! I had previously been to the one in Cerritos when I used to drive that way for work-related activities. The butter mamon is to die for. Their empanadas are great too. My husband and I were on a search for Huy Fong Chili Garlic sauce and were hitting dead ends left and right. We ducked into the Seafood City supermarket by Walmart to see if they had what we were searching for. They did not, but they did have a Red Ribbon and a Jollibee. My husband was getting a little cranky so I bought two chicken empanadas, one for each of us. We sat down in the little food court area and took some bites. I was in heaven. It's been a long time since I've had one of these babies and it was still good. Is it healthy? No. Does it work in a pinch if you're out and about? Yes. I was good and didn't grab any mamon cakes but I like that they are packaged with fun colors nowadays. If you're a fan of Red Ribbon, visit this location for their goodies! read more

Red Ribbon is a bakery, but they also have combo plates. This location is inside Seafood City on Barranca and Von Karman in Irvine. I ordered A2: Arroz caldo & chicken empanada ($7.79). I also had an extra empanada ($2.49). You can order palabok or arroz caldo a la carte, or w/ an empanada and a dessert. The arroz caldo was full of chicken and hearty. Every Azn culture has a chicken and rice soup (juk, congee, et al), and each one evokes comfort food. Likewise, the empanada was warm and full of chicken. I prolly didn't need the extra empanada, but I am a pig. Not surprisingly, the service was friendly, warm and efficient. My meal was assembled quickly, and I was off to find a seat in the communal food court. Red Ribbon will be on my regular rotation bc they serve good food at a reasonable price. read more

I bought 2 dozens of mamon and after 2 days from purchase, they were all moldy! I shipped half of these purchase to a friend in Boston. I called the location and at first she tells me that they received the Mamon on a Tuesday and that it only has 3-4 days shelf life. Well, I bought it on a Saturday so I asked why were they in their shelf if it's already expired, then she changed her date that they received it on A Thursday. Liar! Their mamon is expired! I had stomach issues after eating one after I bought it and now I realized why! Bad customer service! Bad food! read more

Red Ribbon Bakeshop - MOLD!!! - Desserts Near Me - Irvine, California

Did not expect the empanada to taste that good. My favorite flavor goes like: Pork, then meat, then chicken. Just because the pork and meat come with a sweet sauce mixed with the protein, while the chicken does not come mixed with any(still solid though). The hostess was pretty sneaky though, she did not want to tell me which was her favorite flavor, with the goal of having me buy more. Pretty funny, but at the end after ordering, she told me anyways lol. Good empanada though. Thought it would be dry and all since it looked a bit light, but was wrong, empanadas there were solid. read more

Not worth the price. The classic mocha cake did not taste like mocha and was rather kind of salty. No one wanted a second slice. The ube overload slice was super dry.

I prepaid for a cake to celebrate my mom's 87th birthday. When I arrived to pick up the cake they sold the cake to someone else!!! Unbelievable- what kind of business sells an item that's been paid for??? In exchange for the quarter sheet cake they offered a round cake and a jelly roll- it's not what my mom wanted and was disappointed by the poor customer service. I considered the mocha cake but none of my relatives liked their mocha cake - the last time I purchased it the cake is half frosting! read more

Red Ribbon she said. Say whay? It's a bakery down here somewhere inside Seafood City Supermarket. I had no idea what either was much less where we were (North Irvine-South Tustin apparently). After my car's map directions almost got us lost we parked out front. Walking in was really interesting. Some would say there's too much negative space in the front but considering at least three food establishments cohabitated with the grocery store tailored to the Filipino demographic, the layout was decorative. The bakery lay just past the fried chicken place and a few paces away from the checkout lanes. The case was mostly full despite being around 8pm, and everything looked delicious. The objective of the mission was to obtain one coffee butter roll for $12.99. The nearby tables were the perfect spot to sample the wares before the drive home. To say that I was impressed is an understatement! Next morning I devoured a nice chunk solo (sorry babe) and we finished it off within two days so it wouldn't dry out. I am looking forward to another visit soon. read more

I bought 3 plain mammon, 3 ube mammon and taisan last Saturday the 6th guess what the expiration date is June 8 and June 10 2020, Seriously are you expecting me to eat it in 2 days? I had to throw 5 away cause of mold. Disgusting! Very Filipino trait kung makadugas makadugas talaga. Advice for future buyers pay attention to expiry date especially now that they kesyo have a protocol and I can't really pick what I want unlike before covid where customers can pick and choose and look at expiry dates, now they cover the stall with plastic cover so no choice but to accept what the crew handed. Will definitely sue this location. P. S Contacted OC Health regarding this read more

I was stoked to find out there was a Red Ribbon close to my work! We would get a 2 dozen of the chicken and beef empanadas dropped off by a vendor at my old job and we'd all chow down on them. My favorite is the chicken empanada by far. This Red Ribbon is located inside the supermarket but it's right up front to the left (hope that makes sense). I ordered 2 to go. The lady who helped us out was friendly. She wasn't outstanding but I wasn't there to dine in any ways. Besides I didn't see any tables... So we got back to work and started munching on these bad boys and oh my they tasted so fresh! The chicken ones have a semi sweet flavor to them too. My favorite part are the edges. Always have a nice crisp to them. I'm sorry I didn't get a photo since I was starving. Next time! read more

Service is good but no way I'll buy from them again. I bought cheese ensaymada and when got home to eat them, there is no sugar on top. I called them up to address the issue and they said that that's how they make it. If you're a true Filipino, you very well know that ensaymada has cheese and sugar on top. I paid $20 for a no good snack. Nakakadala. Their cakes are dry and no sugar on ensaymada. read more

I totally love their empanadas, palabok, mamon and ensaymada. They are delicious! The arroz caldo is ok. I would recommend them.

I've been coming to this location in Irvine for the Chicken Empanadas as they're the best! I would usually come here after 7pm and never I was told that the kitchen is already closed. Usually, the ladies who works here would ask me if I am willing to wait for 15-20 mins, which I didn't mind. I shop at the supermarket while the empanadas are being cooked. Today, I was here at 7:15pm and no more empanadas left. The guy at the front named Charles, who was very rude and badly lacks customer service skills, told me that per policy, they can't cook empanadas anymore as they strictly close the kitchen at 7pm for cleanup. I talked to the assigned manager, Paz Arceaga, who also confirmed this. I was surprised to hear about this kitchen closure at 7pm as in the years I've been coming to this location, I always come after 7pm and still get the ladies who works here cook the empanadas for me. I respect this policy but I hope it will be amended. The store closes at 8pm, so customers expect that the kitchen must be available until closing time or at the latest, half hour before store closes. The main issue in this negative review is not the policy mentioned above. It is the bad manner and unacceptable behavior of this guy named Charles, who works at the front. He was very provoking in his approach and he argued with me about this policy of closing the kitchen at 7pm. His behavior is not appropriate for this kind of job. He could have just explained the policy in a nice way instead of acting rudely. I asked for his full name and he refused to give me his last name because of his privacy concerns and instead, he told me that he doesn't care if I report him to the upper management, which I will certainly do. He also gave me a dirty look. Very arrogant and disrespectful to customers! Did I get an apology from him or his manager? No, not at all! I don't think they were trained properly in customer service. I will never forget this experience and I'm hoping not to see this guy again in this location. I seriously plan to speak with the corporate office about this incident. UPDATE: 4/5/2023 Per Customer Care's request, I have reached out to the website provided to submit my complaint and that was 24 days ago as of this write up. Until now, no one from their company nor management has reached out to me regarding my concerns. Indeed, Red Ribbon's management including their staff doesn't value their customers. They don't care and they never will. read more

We ordered two slices of the choco mocha crunch cake and they left off the honeycomb. Pretty bummed too since we went out of our way to get this as a birthday treat.

I love this cake because because it reminds me of my childhood. Cakes in East Asia tend to be less sweet and a lot spongier and fluffier. The mango on the cake tastes a bit different from the Manila Mango I'm used to though. Perhaps the Mexican Ataulfo was used instead? I remember the Manila Mango being sweeter and more buttery. read more

I always love Red Ribbon. I'm just sad there's no more banana bread. Why? :( ... I pray it comes back.

Red Ribbon is a bakery chain based in the Philippines. Back in the 80's/90's, they were the happening choice, and along with their rival Goldilocks, dominated in that category. But these days, the world has gotten globalized, so there is plenty of competition out there, especially with many Asian and European bakeries equal, or even better, than good ol' RR. Needless to say, one thing they do have that many others don't is their ube (purple yam) cake. Despite the plethora of cakes my kids and I have had, their almost favorite is this darn ube cake. Me, not really. I love the ube flavor, but this last cake we had seemed a bit dry and the frosting/icing had a weird taste that the best description I can give is it tasted "fake", if that even qualifies.. Maybe the cake I had just wasn't as fresh or they are using more artificial flavors, idk. That doesn't mean I'm not coming back, because RR is still a crowd choice for family get-togethers, including this Thursday's Thanksgiving. Overall - 4 stars. I've had almost all the cake flavors, the mamons are awesome, pan de sal is alright, empanadas are really good, and even their menu items like palabok/arroz caldo are also good for a bakery place. read more
