  Goldilocks was an option suggested for my dad's celebration of life gathering. I drove down to the restaurant from Carlsbad to talk with them directly about preparing food for 100+ guests for a Filipino house party (we're Filipino). It was my first time there, and the staff was friendly and helpful. They had me work with Mel, the manager there, and she went above and beyond to help me select the perfect combination of dishes for the party. Knowing we would have some vegetarian guests (like me), Mel helped me customize some of the dishes like the Pancit Bihon, Pinakbet and even the Bagoong Alamang to exclude meat, and suggested a few orders of the vegetarian egg rolls so the veggie guests weren't depressed that they couldn't eat the Shanghai Lumpia. She helped me figure out portions, and also helped with dessert suggestions. Come the day of the celebration of life, Mel helped our food delivery people be sure they had everything in the order. The food was still hot when it arrived, and many guests remarked how delicious all the food and selections were; Great feedback from a primarily Filipino crowd! I am 1000% happy with the food, the help, the services and the care that Mel and her team put into our house catering for my dad's celebration of life and highly recommend Goldilock's National City for any home parties you might have. Work with Mel, she's the best!!! Thank you Mel and your team for helping to make this event even more special by providing delicious authentic Filipino dishes and desserts to help us to celebrate my Tatay's beautiful and blessed life.

  Beef caldereta is cooked good. The lumpiang shanghai set was also cooked well. The chicken asado siopao is good as well. From their grocery, I got buko pie, piñacolada polvoron, black bean hopia, yellow bean hopia, & the cheese bread sticks -- all oh-so-delicious. Friendly servers have been happily working there for more than 10-20 years.

  First time to eat at this location and I can understand where the others could criticize the customer service. After all, it's a restaurant and a bakery. This is not Denny's or Olives Garden, you may or may not find a person welcoming you here as soon as you c come in. The eatery is Filipino. Coming to Goldilocks gives you already a wonderful notion whether you'll buy some baked goods or dine here. Certainly, the customer service might need to improve, but the little issues with customer service are compensated for by their offerings. We really dined here and enjoyed singing, bangus, and pancit bihon. Few days later ordered arrozcaldo and halo halo through Door Dash and I can't complain. The food is excellent. Will surely return! Thanks!

  Terrible customer service. I went there for lunch and no one attended to me. I had to go to the cashier to get a menu and returned to my seat. After a few seconds, I already knew what I wanted to order, but still, no one came to help. I waited a few more minutes and eventually just left.
