Gold Ribbon

I have never eaten here but their cakes are sooooo good! Especially the Ube cake! I have ordered it so many times. The flavouring is amazing, cannot recommend highly. If you like ube its a must try

Gold Ribbon is my favourite Filipino restaurant here in Auckland. I’ve been to many and I still go back here no matter how far I live. The food is very “SULIT” for the price. It’s afforable than most restaurants, and yet it’s delicious. The serving size is what amazes me the most - I still get to bring leftovers home! I do wish they have a special menu here and there just to change things up a bit. However, they do offer a variety of dish. They even sell cakes and other pastries too. I super love their halo halo - the best in Auckland I reckon. I highly recommend this place. Ambiance is improving, but the servers are nice and friendly.nnThe only downside is sometimes they sell out quite fast, especially on busy weekends - specifically dinner time. It’s always best to ask them first what’s not available.

Great food, can be busy so probably book ahead. Good value, was full of flavour. Staff were very friendly. I would recommend the mango shake. Just be aware of parking, can be difficult

A Taste of Home at Gold Ribbon Restaurant – A Must-Try for Filipino Food Lovers!nnGold Ribbon Restaurant is an absolute gem for anyone craving authentic and delicious Filipino food. From the moment you walk in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere makes you feel at home, and the food truly speaks for itself!nnTheir Palabok is a standout – perfectly cooked noodles topped with a rich, flavorful sauce, chicharrón, and fresh ingredients that bring out the traditional taste of this well-loved dish. Every bite is a burst of umami goodness!nThe Dinuguan is another must-try. The pork is tender, and the savory, slightly tangy sauce is cooked to perfection, just like how it’s made back home. It pairs wonderfully with their freshly steamed rice.nnBut the real star of the show is their Ube Cake! Soft, moist, and with just the right amount of sweetness, it’s no surprise why it’s their most famous dessert. The ube flavor is rich and authentic, and the creamy frosting makes it absolutely irresistible.nnOverall, Gold Ribbon Restaurant delivers an amazing Filipino dining experience. Whether you're Filipino or just someone who loves good food, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!

New photos added 8/11/2025. A popular Filipino food place in Kelston. Went for Saturday lunch. Restaurant had Filipino touches here and there, like a typical air conditioned Filipino carinderia eatery. Ordered crispy Pata pork leg, boiled till tender then deep fried , with side salad, and dipping made from soy sauce, vinegar, onions and red chilli pepper came with 2 bowls of white rice and pancit palabok noodles, just some of the usual Filipino favourites, They tasted great. Brings back memories of home. Service was fine. You should try the ube purple yam cake. My son ordered a large one take away for his friend's birthday celebration that night. Parking's a bit tricky though. He did order a slice for me, too.
