In town and stopped in to get some goodies. The Mamon is great, it's a fluffy, buttery sponge cake. It's not too sweet, which I like. They are individually wrapped and if you buy a pack of 5 it's a better deal. I also got some of the Beef (shredded) Empanadas which are good. They have a couple other hot food items such as Palabok (noodles) and Areoz Caldo (rice soup). The cashier was very nice and welcoming. The bakery is super clean and everything is organized. The place is decorated nicely with colorful signage. They also have beautiful cakes with yummy flavors such as Ube, Mango, Caramel, and Tiramisu. I always enjoy picking up items from Red Ribbon. read more

We had the great fortune of going to the red ribbon bake shop today and we absolutely loved it. We were looking for Goldilocks and never found it and that was really lucky they had so many different Filipino desserts and the service was excellent. The guys that worked there were so nice not a lot of ambience in the place. It's really just a counter situation, but there are so many desserts to choose from. We got quite a few in including a slice of mango cake, Tainan loaf, ube einiamo, chocolate slice, and pork empanada and we absolutely loved everything except the pork empanada. We weren't crazy about that but everything else was so good. We would definitely go back. read more

My go-to spot for quick snacks or small meals for guests. Or when visiting the elders. The value meals I normally get are the 2-empanada meal or the very garlicky arroz caldo meal, depending on mood. These come with a soda and slice of cake. When it comes to their cakes, the Mango Supreme is exactly that... supreme and delightful with a soft texture and refreshing flavor in every bite. Their Ube Flan is also a force to be reckoned with. The pancit palabok tray is always a hit at parties, and so is a bundle of chicken empanadas. I prefer these empanadas over all the nearby competitors. Also, their mocha-flavored Mamon (sponge cake) is second to none in the mamon game. The assorted bag is also a wonderful choice. Make sure to check those exp dates! read more

RRB is a small Filipino bakery shop serving super value meals, desserts and cold drinks located inside the Seafood City Market in a predominantly Filipino shopping center. Been coming out here for the past year and service has always been top notch am always greeted and the staff are very attentive. Prices are so reasonable it's hard to beat giving competitors run for the money. It's best to come by early on the weekends where there's ample parking and less shoppers. Interior is quite so small so there's no seating though they have ones outside by the door. Spanish breads and empanadas are my flavor and I chose a slice of ube overload cake for $5.29 and a cup of iced ube milk regular size for a mere $3.99 that's a tremendous savings don't forget their super value meals for those on a shoestring budget. My go to for a great Filipino meals highly recommend and my-coworkers and friends are very pleased no complaints! read more

When it comes to ordering Filipino desserts, I prefer Red Ribbon over Goldilocks. The brazo de mercedes is fluffy and not too sweet. The sansrival tastes way better than Goldilocks, tastes freshly made. The Black Forest cake had a good ratio of chocolate, cherry and mousse. Service is quick and staff are friendly. Their empanadas make the perfect appetizers too. read more

Super happy that a red ribbon opened up here! (Sad that it replaced the iconic beard papa's in the plaza) There used to be a location at Great Mall in Jollibee, but I'm glad this place has its own space! Well stocked with flavored bread from regular, ube, cheese, and pandan. Great presentation of cakes on their displays that looked so decadent and eye catching. Despite a line out the door, the service was quick and painless- a wait about 5-7 minutes. I ordered a sweet treat to myself of a Rocky road cake slice. It was so rich, creamy, semi sweet, and decadent!! I couldn't help myself but finish it one sitting. Def come to this place to try Filipino pastries and desserts!! read more

The lady was nice and asked me if I needed anything else. I was looking at their freshly made eggrolls which are fairly huge but when I ask how much it is it was about $2.50 each. I came, bought my stuff and left -- you should try checking them out.

I was also skeptical about the Vietnamese and Filipino fusion concept based on the menu. I was wrong -- 1000%. The place is beautifully decorated, the staff was super friendly, and I really liked the ordering system with photos of the dishes. Most importantly, the food was AMAZING. Everything we tried was packed with flavor and exceeded expectations. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu.

So underwhelming! I…read morewas so excited to try D-D Delight, but I was disappointed. The food is ok- it's trying too hard to be too many things where you can't really appreciate it tbh. It's just too busy. While it is unique and a fun try, it's not for me. The service we experienced on a Saturday for lunch was very poor. We got 3/4 of our entrees, and we continued to wait for the last one. I had to physically get up and catch someone from the counter, as they avoided my table since they thought they were done serving us. It was after waiting for 20 minutes, btw, and when I asked about our last entree, I was told "oh sorry we lost the ticket"... That really left a foul taste for me.... MEH. I don't feel inclined to come back personally, but I can see the novelty. It's cute inside and it's fusion-y and fun. I get it.

The English translation of turo-turo is point-point, which means you literally point at hot & ready-cooked entrees of your choice. On any given day, the line up behind the counter can range from Chicken or Pork Adobo, Sisig (chopped and seasoned pig parts mixed with onions and chilies), Sinigang (tamarind-based sour soup), or Pinakbet (mixed vegetables cooked with shrimp paste). They also serve silog breakfast plates in the morning. Make sure to visit early in the day because dishes will run out. I always hope my favorites are behind the glass when I visit... -Their Bistek reminds me of home-cooked comfort food. I can't have enough of this citrusy beef steak dish topped with caramelized onions, or slightly raw. -For my vegetable dish of choice, their Laing hits the spot with the mild spiciness and creaminess of stewed taro leaves in coconut milk and shrimp paste. -Pancit here is top notch and mom-approved! Definitely one of the better pancit noodle dishes in the area, and they give you a good amount in their combo plates. -I'm not a Caldereta fan, but their version of this rich tomato-based stew converted me. Yes to both beef or goat! I appreciate the other dishes that you normally don't see at Filipino restaurants, like Dinakdakan (a cousin of Sisig), Beef Pinapaitan with tripe (not as bitter as I expected), and Igado (when I feel like liver). Next up is their lechon! For now, gonna drown in my own drool.

Gulaman - I got confused cause the picture on the board showed a Buko Pandan and I assumed thats what they called gulaman, but ended up given the black jelly gulaman drink which wasn't bad! I didn't bother to change it cause it was already made. It was a bit sweet but once the ice started melting it became more refreshing to drink! I'll have to try the buko pandan next time :) We also enjoyed the hopia that they sell as well that's pre-packaged. Staff was very friendly with greeting us going in and out of their restaurant which we appreciated! We'll have to try the food next time as I really wanna try the crispy karekare :)

I've bought them many times at this store as gifts to friends and family simply because I don't have the time to make it. If you're on a rush and don't have time to make some of it come here it's pretty good. They also sell meals for takeout where you just have to point which one you want in the array of viands and selections. They also sell, packaged Filipino delicacies like seaweed and jams that provides childhood nostalgia when living in the Philippines. The place is small, which is right next to the Vietnamese grocery store. The people are nice typical for a Filipino establishment. If you're looking for an Asian food fair without rude Asians, come visit the place and try the food and leave with a smile.

I'm still searching for my "go to" Filipino restaurant and this isn't it. It would do in a pinch though and if you're hankering for some skewers of meat, you could definitely do worse. FOOD: Good but not great as I said before. I did enjoy the chicken skewers but found the pancit lacking. The rice...was okay. Pretty good actually. SERVICE: Loved the portions and it was packaged well so good marks for that. COST: For the portions, the cost was very reasonable and honestly, if the food was a bit better, I would give it even a higher score.

For my meal, I ordered the grilled pompano, pork sinigang, and dinakdakan. The grilled pompano was decent and cooked nicely. The pork sinigang was good, and the broth had a solid tamarind flavor that was not too sour. That said, it was missing some of the veggies such as string beans, eggplants, tomatoes, and okra. The dinakdakan was really good, with a nice sweet and savory taste. The customer service was good, but overall it was slow, so it helps to plan for a bit of a wait. On top of that, the surroundings were clean, and there's plenty of parking.
