I've been a loyal customer of Red Ribbon Bakeshop Carson since we moved to the U.S. in 2014. Their chocolate cake has always been our go-to for every special occasion. The staff are consistently kind, welcoming, and professional, which makes every visit even better. My kids absolutely love their lugaw, and the chicken empanada is always a must for us. Even after moving to Menifee, we still make the drive to their Carson location because of the excellent service and cleanliness. A special shoutout to Bernadette. She is so nice and very friendly. My daughter always looks forward to seeing her every time we visit! read more

So disappointed about this ube brazo de mercedes. Like what happened to the ube filling? The proportion of the ube filling on the advertised product is nothing compared to the one I bought. read more

I wasn't expecting sweet and savory when ordering the chicken empanadas. I was expecting savory and spicy. They were a little dry, so I dipped them in spicy tikka masala (do NOT recommend). Overall, not bad. read more

So beautiful!! This cake was perfectly spongy, light, and not overly sweet. The strawberry flavor tasted fresh and dreamy without being heavy. I ordered it at work through DoorDash for a coworkers birthday party, which added about an $8 fee, but honestly it was still worth it for how satisfying and delicious this cake was. A great treat that everyone loved read more

Ordered their corned beef pan de sandwich, chicken empanadas and ensaimada. Their corned beef sandwich is so boring just corned beef slapped into a sweet pan de sal. There's no mayonnaise nor some lettuce to provide some freshness and crunch. It's so uninspired. You get 2 small sandwiches for $6. They need to revisit their pricing. A 6 pc mamon and 6 pc ensaimada is priced at $30 but their 12 pc family ensaimada is only $24. Their 6 pc ensaimada is $16 but if you want a free mamon "special" the price goes up to $19.14. I could have bought a mamon for $2.50 totaling $18.50. read more

Love their mamon .. but went for their halo halo.. cashier very friendly and helpful.

I usually come to Red Ribbon whenever I need a quick pick-up cake, and they never disappoint! My son has had their Chocolate Dedication Cake for every birthday since he was born, so we're guaranteed to come here at least once a year. I really like their Chocolate Cake and Sans Rival, both are delicious and not overly sweet. The Mango Cake is okay, just not my personal favorite. I'm also not a big fan of their Yema or Caramel Cake since I found them a bit on the dry side. Their mamons are SO good, moist, fluffy, and flavorful! I love all the flavors: mocha, ube, butter, and cheese. And if you're here, don't skip their palabok and halo-halo, both are really tasty and perfect as a little extra treat. read more

This review is for the Ube Overload cake slice and Chocolate cake slice. I had high hopes since the photos of each looked mouth-watering, but should have checked the yelp reviews prior to trying. The Ube Overload slice had not enough Ube flavor and the bottom layer of the cake was very dry and crumbly. If there was a bigger cream to cake ratio maybe this would have helped. The Chocolate cake slice did not taste as I had hoped, the part that was disappointing was the chocolate icing since it tastes more like pudding than icing as described in the menu. I'm glad I only ordered the slices to try rather than whole cakes. Maybe some of the other items are better. read more

Food is delicious, authentic filipino dishes. The service is simple and the ambience is non existent. I would recommend ordering your food for pick up and take it home to eat. Orders are filled within 15-20 minutes. read more

My family and I been coming in here since we moved from Las Vegas 6 years ago. Ambiance is amazing. Great food. Great staff. Mamon and Spicy Empanada are to die for. Special shout out to Bernadette. What a great person. She is so nice and friendly. A great asset not just for Carson location but to the whole Red Ribbon Corporation. It is hard to find people like her nowadays. read more

Quick review of a doordash delivery of 06/27/24 Ordered besides: Palabok Family Platter Extra Chicharon Extra Palabok Sauce Super Value Meal A Cheesy Ensaimada Mango Supreme Slice When I had the Palabok Family Platter on 06/17/24- I noted I'd probably not order- extra Palabok Sauce- I did order extra as you see- but realistically I think it's not needed but extra sauce adds to yummy - especially when the restaurant puts a bit more chicharon as requested. All the desserts were very tasty as well as the Chicken Empanada which was included in Super Value Meal A. Again, as before I didn't experience ambience- because delivery order. I didn't post pictures because I couldn't resist eating. I thought the Palabok was good last time- even better today- why review deserves a "5" Rating! read more

Another staple in the Pinoy plaza. This place is ALWAYS clean and has the very best empanadas, ensaymadas, and CARAMEL BARS!!! If you are looking to lose weight then DO NOT come here! Lol!!! The cashier's are ALWAYS nice and suuuupee patient. I've seen them deal w very problematic patrons, and they've always handled the situation w a smile. I've never been to Goldilocks and probably never will. Love this place! read more

So I waltzed into this establishment to order some empanadas. It wasn't busy so I went right up to the counter and ordered three chicken and three pork empanadas. I also ordered a jasmine mango tea. It was almost $30. But I wasn't mad because I was about to throw down. Side note I gave one of my yummy chicken empanadas to the homeless dude, he was happy . As soon as I got in the car I chomped down on the pork empanada because my coworker said they were fire and she wasn't lying! It was savory tender and a little juicy!!! Then I ate half of the chicken empanada deliciousness!!! All I needed was some gravy to dip it in!!!! Thanks Red Ribbon for making yummy food!!! Oh sorry but the ice tea needed more flava! read more

I've been here many times but realized I never made a review of this awesome Filipino business. This is a popular Filipino chain bakery that offers lots of classic Filipino baked goods and cakes. However, personally, I frequent this business mainly for their savory options. I love their Chicken Arroz Caldo- a savory and garlicky rice porridge that always hits the spot! They're also more known for their Chicken Empanadas which are hearty and filling. Service is always friendly and welcoming. All their baked and delectable sweet goods are always displayed neatly and beautifully at the front right where you enter. Highly recommend checking out this business if you've never had it! read more

Ordered online and my order was ready when I arrived. I would've appreciated being greeted, instead of being ignored, left standing around when my cake had been sitting on the counter since before I got there. However, cake was good and celebrant was happy with it. read more

Red Ribbon Carson has a spotless, well-kept shop and the staff are kind, pleasant, and helpful. The atmosphere is inviting, and everything looks carefully prepared. Their desserts are outstanding--especially the mango cake and the choco mousse, which were rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I'd happily come back and recommend this place to others! read more

This is a smaller shop than the one in West Co. I didn't like the interior either. Seemed messy and not well put together. Moist choco slices and chocolate decadence cake are still my all-time favorites. Parking is shared with Seafood City and Jollibee next door. I foresee it can get busy during the weekends. Service was ok. read more

The good: Woohoo! A Filipino bakery! RR is a chain I'm familiar with because they had locations in NorCal as well. It's similar to 85 degrees or Paris Baguette but specifically has desserts with Filipino flavors like young coconut and ube. I wanted a last minute birthday cake that delivered and RR fit the bill! They had lots of 8" cake options for reasonable prices and the flavors weren't boring like vanilla or just chocolate. I got the sans rival cake which is a famous Filipino cake made of cashew meringue. I liked that it wasn't too big, could be stored in the freezer for longer periods of time, wasn't too sweet and was unique. My husband enjoyed it. It was the only sans rival cake we've ever tried but it definitely made me want to try more. The bad: The sans rival cake was saltier than I expected. I think it may have been the butter they used. I think the cake was a bit expensive for the size but I can understand that nuts cost more. The interesting: The sans rival cake reminds me of the consistency of medovik (Russian honey cake). RR started in SoCal in the 80s. read more

i made a purchased of cake and ensaymada cheese in the location of Carson, CA, yesterday for my sons bday, the cake is always good, but wow, the cheese ensaymada is taste bad, i dont think they make it there? coz, they should taste test it, u know wherever they make it ? taste like old, bitter, i bet too much baking soda or powder and moldy smell, its not that i want red ribbon to look bad, dont get me wrong, i love red ribbon, but someone have to say something. i never write a review before but when i ate it? i have to say somethin about it, and i want them to read this and do something about it .Dont just make it, make it like u care whoever's gonna eat it. Its so different than before, i mean, this is cheese ensaymada, but wow, it really change, didn't taste like ensaymada, dont put too much baking soda or powder so that u can make a lot, but will taste bitter, just saying. read more

The summer heat is in full swing in LA and so what better way to cool off than with a sweet treat of halo halo! Halo Halo at Red Ribbon is $4.99 and comes with a variety of tasty Filipino ingredients such as sweetened beans, sago and gulaman (agar). They top it off with two scoops of mango ice cream. I found the halo halo to be quite refreshing. I loved that the gave two scoops of mango ice cream. I also liked the that they had a pretty decent mix of ingredients. Sometimes other places give too much beans and not much else but here I thought the ratio of ingredients was pretty decent. Overall it was a nice treat for a nice hot day in LA. read more

Red Ribbon Bake Shop has had a long-standing rivalry with Goldilocks Bake Shop. The solution? Try both. Red Ribbon has really nicely made chicken empanadas reminiscent of buttery flakey savory stuffed breads of the best sort. I really love their food for the gods and mango cake as sweets go. My favorite is the pancit palabok, rice noodles in orange sauce. You must try the halo halo. read more

The store clearly says the operation hours are 7:00 am - 9:00 pm. I walked in tonight June 14th around 8:47 pm to grab a slice of cake. As soon as I entered I greeted the cashier, "Good Evening." The staff who is an older woman (prolly on her 50s to 60s) COMPLETELY IGNORED ME AND STARTED YELLING TO THEIR SUPERVISOR in tagalog saying , "Nasaan na si Sir? Dapat sarado na pinto 8:50 na! Sir!!" She repeated yelling several times. I just walked out in disgust. If the bakery closes at 8:50pm update your hours. I always go this branch mornings and everyone is nice. It was my first time seeing this old wonan and Im complete felt disrespected. Very rude. read more
