Goldilocks

I can’t remember the last time Ihad sansrival or anything like it since I moved to that US in 2013. My bestfriend brought us to filipino restaurants in Vegas and ofcourse to Goldilocks. She suggested that I try the silvanas because it’s the same as how they make the sansrival (just a lot smaller and comes in small packs). I opened one and it brought all my childhood memories! It was so good that I am dreaming of eating it again as I type this.

My mom and I came here because she had a strong craving for crispy pata. She had it here a couple of years ago and said it was absolutely delicious so I was excited to go and try it.
When we came in, we waited a very long time to be seated even though it wasn’t busy. Our waiter tossed the two menus on the table and hurried away. We decided to order the crispy pata and fresh lumpia. Our order came out fast enough and we were disappointed at the size of the $ 13 crispy pata. It was extremely small and parts of it were over cooked. It was also extremely salty. The fresh lumpia was delicious but again very small for the price we paid.
When we got the receipt, we were surprised to see that we were charged for the white rice. Every Filipino restaurant in New York gives a free order of rice per person. They charge when additional rice is ordered. I understand that this is not New York but for overpriced food, I would expect rice to come with it. Also, the waiter should have notified us that it did not come with the order.
My mom paid for the lunch and as we were walking out, I offered to buy her cake or pastries from the bakery. Despite her love for Goldilocks ensaymada, she refused and told me that she didn’t want me to spend a single penny there.
For those who need to satisfy their Filipino food cravings, do yourself a favor and go to Kusina ni Lorraine, Ortigas, or even Nanay Gloria’s. Food is somewhat better at those places and much cheaper.

Service has gone down and continues to go down every time I return, in both the bakeshop and restaurant. The only reason I even ever come back is because of the quality of the cakes, which as of recent has been a complete and utter disappointment. The last time before my current attempt to buy cake was a 10 minute wait before I was finally serviced. Then I was passed over to someone else to get a simple greeting on my cake. A person who obviously looked confused (and with good reason) went to the back and wrote happy birthday on my chosen cake. When he came back, it was wobbly, and the icing color was far from a good compliment to the rest of the cake. My most recent attempt was more of a disappointment. I wanted a chocolate cake, but there were none. So I settled for a chocolate marbled cake. The one on display had flowers and I kindly asked if there was a way to get it without flowers. The younger woman at the counter said «No». She didn’t try to meet me in the middle, she didn’t try to see if she can fix the problem. Nothing. Just a simple no. I would have paid $ 50 for that cake. They act as if their customers aren’t going to turn around and leave. It really isn’t that hard, and they make it extremely easy.

What kind of filipino restaurant makes you buy rice separately? This one. I just spent $ 130 on baked goods and you can’t give me free rice? Never again.

Poor customer service. Called ahead of time to order a few dishes for pick up. Once my boyfriend and I walked in. There was a lady at the cashier who didn’t even bother to say hello or «I’ll be with you in just a minute» while we stood right in front of her waiting to be helped. All she did was look at us and proceeded to do whatever she was doing behind the counter. The funny thing was that I could see our order in bags right behind her. Then another worker walked right up to the lady at the cashier behind the counter and started talking to her without even looking or acknowledging us. I stood there staring at both ladies until a guy finally came up to ask us «Can I help you?» I told him I’m waiting to pick up my order that’s been behind both of them this whole entire time. I normally tip even for just picking up food from a restaurant but this time. I was so angry that I didn’t bother. The lady had the audacity to say in Tagalog that I didn’t tip her. Funny thing was she didn’t think I understood her. I wanted to turn around and tell her that I only tip for customer service. One thing is for sure. My boyfriend and I will def not be coming back. There’s a lot more Filipino restaurants in LV than goldilocks that has better quality food and most importantly. Better customer service than Goldilocks

I think old school Filipinos patronize this place because it has become iconic in the Philippines and is doing well here in the US as well. However, the quality of food here might be better than 75% of restaurants in Las Vegas, but there are others that have better quality and taste. In the category of cakes and pastries, however, Goldilock’s blows away the competition and they would be rated an ‘Excellent’.

Yummmmmmmyyy!!! This food is so delicious! I’ve never had food like this, but it had such a variety of choices. I had the pancit with chicken and it was satisfying! My boyfriend got a soup dish was ox tail and it was a very reasonable price (ox tail can get pretty expensive). The best part is going to the bakery afterwards and getting their delicious pastries!
The service was super slow when we went! We had to wait 15+ minutes to get our check… So we decided to pay with cash instead so we didn’t have to wait any longer. The food was worth it though… Can’t wait to go back!

I went here for breakfast and had the tapsilog and hot tea. Hot tea came with lemon and honey so that was really nice. Tapsilog came with pan de Sal and two eggs which worked well together. Meat was tough to chew in some places because of some cartilage/​fat but that’s really the only problem I had with the food.

My family are from the Philippines and were wanting some food from home during our trip to Las Vegas. Our group of eight arrived around 4:30 for an early dinner. The service was typical Filipino (the server just takes your order and brings you your food — so if you’re expecting to be checked on or offered the bill, think again). We ordered nilagang baka, pancit, lumpia, dinuguan, fried bangus, Chinese fried rice and barbeque pork. Unfortunately the barbeque pork was cold and most of the food just didn’t taste very good in my opinion. To add insult to injury several of my family members felt sick after eating. I wouldn’t come here again.

FIRST TIME here to have weekend breakfast buffet it is not actually a buffet you get in line and there is a server who will give you a piece of this or a spoon of viand… I understand that they are considering the costs and their bottomline
But the location is in Vegas so therefore buffet or «all you can eat «should not be used rather unlimited servings etc.
I was very disappointed, there are a lot of other choices and places we can go to when it comes to Filipino food.
I do not want my viand to be all in one plate. I want to be able to taste a little and if I like it I will get more of the specific dish.
The adobo was undercooked. We told the manager but she just looked at us.
Service wasn’t so great either!
Nanay GLORIA, Kusina Ni LORRAINE D Pinoy Joint are better restaurants than Goldilocks.
Maybe Goldilocks should just stick to ala carte
Since they are stingy with their buffet
Everything was too salty or too sweet
Arroz Caldo– almost like watery
Corned beef– where’s the beef
Tapa/​Tocino
Eggs — very dry
I can go on and on no wonder it wasn’t so busy

I’ve been to Goldilocks a few times here, and also in Los Angeles. They are well known for their bakery items. This one also has a restaurant, which I’ve eaten at and its just ok. It was kind of weird walking in here because they had Christmas music on, and the restaurant is already decorated for Thanksgiving.
We bought a few baked good, I got some Pan de Sal. We also had some Ube boba, which was just ok, maybe too much ice and not creamy enough for my tastes. Not quite the crowd that I saw down near Seafood City so maybe its not as popular anymore.

Awesome Filipino food! Great place to come to get traditional Filipino food. We came for breakfast and loved it. There is a bakery and everything is so yummy! Good prices and love the atmosphere.

Came here during my lunch with a few colleagues. We only wanted to come for the halo halo, last time it was really good. This time, it lacked flavor or in Tagalog, it was «tapang.» We asked the workers for more evap milk because it tasted only of ice. We also wondered where the leche flan was? They said they had crushed it up and put it in there. One of my colleagues and I eventually found some. But our other coworker did not. She also ordered sago gulaman — it was good but nothing that stood out. We had a few siapaos and they were good. But, I like the ones from Crown Bakery in Chinatown much better. Next time, we’re probably going to Jolibee for the halo halo. They never fail me!

Pinoy baked goods galore! Inside, Goldilocks doubles as a bakery and restaurant (half of the room is the bakery section, while the other half is the dining area) that offers traditional Filipino dishes and pastries. The aroma of freshly baked bread and Filipino cuisine envelopes you once you step in, which is pretty inviting.
In general, Filipino pastries tend to be sweet and filling so picking up a few things was enough to satisfy my midday sweet tooth. I feel like they didn’t have a huge selection of goods to choose from, but the staples to any Filipino bakery are there including: ensaymada, mamon, cuchinta, etc.
I ended up getting the baked cheese rolls and the ensaymada with ube (a brioche roll with a sweet, purple yam filling). The cheese rolls were the same texture as a traditional pan de sal roll (with fine bread crumbs lightly sprinkled on top), but this baked good was sweeter in flavor. The ensaymada with ube had the sweet, yet buttery taste.
One thing I like about these specific pastries is the fact that the cheese incorporated in them compliments the sweetness; it doesn’t have an overbearing «cheesy» taste — it’s more subtle and may be unnoticed because of the pastry’s sweetness.
I was pretty satisfied with the goods that I bought because they were soft and filling. It’s what I expect out of a perfectly baked Filipino pastry.

Came here to satisfy my Filipino cravings. Don’t know much but I’ve been here before with a Filipino buddy of mine and grown to like it.
Ok so of you ask me the bakery is way over prices the cakes are ok they just look nice… most the time. The food court is only open Mon-​Fri with a buffet from 7−11am on the weekends so I missed it. Haven’t been here in a while to judge the food which is what I really wanted but settle for a few baked goods.
Their Biscocho is one of my favorite premade prepackaged items I’ve always liked. It’s a twice bake crunchy crispy buttery and slightly sweet toast that is good with coffee or just to snake on. I got their little empanadas one beef and one chicken both were gross taste like freezer burn and just plain nasty. There is a bake shop in Seafood city down the street with amazing ones.
Besides that I would like to come try their brunch buffet I love me some garlic rice and longalisa with eggs yum!

We came here for their Sunday breakfast buffet and just had a blast. You have to be a TRUE Pinoy to appreciate this breakfast. I’m from Atlanta and we don’t have anything like this. OMG fried bangus, tuyo, corned beef Pinoy style, adobo, arroz caldo and so many more native foods available! My heart was so full and so was my tummy and all just for $ 8 per person.
Service was also super polite and friendly both in the restaurant and bakery side. I’m not even gonna waste my time looking and pondering why their reviews are so bad because I’m sure it’s from people who don’t understand our food or people who just have very high expectations not understanding the culture of Goldilocks.
For a Filipino like me who’s been in search for food like this and have been deprived of such — I truly appreciate this place. I wish wish wish we have this in Atlanta too!

I am pissed.
I walked into goldilocks at 10:30am. They have their $ 7 breakfast buffet 8am-​11am and they had a long line. Well because no one was at the front where it said to wait to be seated (I waited a good 5min) and since someone else just went in the line, I decided to just fall in line too. It was a pretty long line and I was in line for a good 15 – 20. Finally when I got to the food, the servers were like «where is your wristband?» And I didn’t have one so I asked if I can pay now since no one told me. She said no then I was actually willing to get back in line since I was already there and hungry but THEN she said, «yeah then no more food for you because now it’s 11» WHAT? I was obviously there way before it closed! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I am so insulted. No one was there to help me, they saw me fall in line and didn’t say anything, then they tell me I can’t have food. PLUS they still had plenty of breakfast food left. Terrible. Never coming back again. I left and went across the street to Nanay Gloria’s where they actually knew how to give hospitality to their customers.

Let me clarify first why I’m giving 3 stars instead of 2. The service. They did an amazing job serving our party of 40 during their lunch rush on Valentine’s Day. Of course we had called ahead of time and ordered a bunch of food to share family style, but they were still awesome. There was plenty of food, they cleared plates quickly, made sure we had drinks and were so friendly. They even gave us an extra red velvet cake on top of all the left over food and desserts we already had.
As for the food, I’m not fond of Filipino food at restaurants. And especially a chain restaurant. Everything is so bland and Americanized. The sinigang wasn’t sour enough, the eggplant torta had too much egg, and the pancit was just eh. That pretty much describes all the food we ordered. But of course the halo halo was delicious. It had plenty of beans and fruit, instead of just all ice like other spots.
All in all, friendly and efficient service. Meh on the food.

This is for the bakery and the restaurant. Our family had lunch here for the second time, we were running errands and we got hungry and we felt like Filipino food. I wouldn’t crave for their food and go out of my way just to eat here. Everything was ok, siomai was ok, the sisig was cut too big, I like my sisig in tiny little pieces and crunchier. The fried was good, I would order that again if we are ever caught hungry and in the area. I would also order the dinuguan again but that’s because I always have to have that when we eat at a Filipino restaurant. I like the sauce all over my rice (no dinuguan meat for me) and since I refuse to learn how to cook this specific dish (I refuse to touch the blood, even though I deal with blood on a daily basis. Don’t ask!), I make sure to order when the opportunity is there .
Now for the bakery, this is the reason why I give them 4 stars, otherwise it would be 3. Their pandesal is soft and creamy and their sans rival is the best I’ve ever had. It’s my son’s favorite, I’ve tried other places and we always end coming back at Goldilocks for this once or twice a year treat. Also make sure to try their mocha roll, they are known for this cake!
To wrap up this review, if you’re hungry and want Filipino food, there’s a cheaper restaurant across the street by Smiths called Sariling Atin. Then when you’re ready for your dessert, head to the Goldilocks bakery.

Plenty of baked goods pastries and cakes to choose from. The ensmamayas are a classic favorite as well as the sponge cakes. Whenever our family visits Las Vegas they bring back plenty to Hawaii as there’s no Goldilocks in Hawaii. We come to eat here. I recommend the fresh lumpia, the adobo or the soups. I love the mami or the beef nilaga. Perfect for those cold winter days.
