Golden Coin Bakeshop & Restaurant — Restaurant in Hawaii

The "Filipino Zippy's" has other locations on Oahu.

ATMOSPHERE: The stand alone restaurant has modern decor, and a spacious dining area with regular tables only. There's a hot food line on one side, refrigeration cases on the other, with the cashier in the middle. Like others have said and will continue to say, parking does suck, especially with what we're normally accustomed to on Maui. We went in at 2pm on a Sunday and found 2 open stalls.

MENU: Traditional Filipino fare sold plate lunch-style and by the container, halo halo, breads, desserts. They also do catering.

The selections in the hot food line were not labeled, so be prepared to ask questions unless you want a surprise on your plate.

They also sell a small assortment of Filipino snacks and ingredients.

FOOD: Chicken Adobo Bone-in chunks of chicken were chopped up and done in a traditional adobo sauce. The chicken was flavorful, tender, but the sauce was very oily.

Pork & Peas Their version is savory, thankfully, and done with chopped carrots as well. The pork was tender and overall very tasty. I'd like more peas though.

Fried Rice The rice didn't look flavorful at all, but it totally was once it hit my buds. It was stir fried with peas, egg, and sausage. Very fluffy and moist.

Bihon Pancit Mmm, finally, some place that serves 100% bihon noodles! Very tasty. Other ingredients were carrots and cabbage. I just wish my plate came with more!

Fried Chicken The pile of chicken looked like a mix of parts, and we ended up with a bone-in, skin-on thigh. The skin was still crispy even though it was sitting out. The meat had a nice savory taste and was fairly moist.

Pork Lumpia I'm sure it would've been good right out of the fryer, but they were room temperature all the way through, skinny, and soggy. The only disappointment of my plate.

Chicken Papaya Apparently this is sold only in the large container size. The soup of marungay leaves, sliced green papaya, ginger, onion and tender chicken chunks were perfectly seasoned and had excellent taste. Highly recommended.

DESSERET: Puto They sell 9 pieces to a tray, colored in yellow, purple, and green. The little steamed discs were moist and mildly sweet. Perfect!

SERVICE: The female worker was friendly and very patient, even with all of our questions. There is no waiter service. Order to go, or eat in, like a Panda Express if you will.

OVERALL: Good food, fair pricing. Where's the mungo beans for...

One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had happened at this location. There is no organization when it comes to customers in line to order food or for the bakery side. The lady called on the next person and she looks at a person that came in ten minutes after me and motioned them to come and order. Luckily that customer said I was already waiting in line and so she proceeded to wait on my order. Then to make things worse. I specifically came in to order something that they have a sign hanging up on the window showing that they serve this dish but I was told they were not making this a long time now. Then why is the sign still up and the online menu say that they sell it. This place sucks. Dec. 5, and now I find out they was inspected by the food safety inspector and failed again. Not going there...

came in just for halohalo. there were was 1 employee just stocking the shelves and she sees us and gave is no acknowledgement. and I believe the manager too noticed us being there waiting for us to get help but instead just totalled ignored us. and my main pet peeve is that 1 employee started leaning on the counter like she doesn't have anything else to do. and when I got my halohalo I would expected it to come with ube ice cream. but on check out that's the only time she would tell me that they were out. the customer service here needs alot of work and as well with the manager. the manager shouldn't let any employee whatsoever lean on the counter when there's customers in the store...
