Stink eye, screw face, and stingy portions are what's on the menu at Golden Coin
I use to go Waipahu location, menu selections for plate meals so confusing! Some choices they charge xtra for being a side choice? First place ever!! that do it that way! Honestly! I wouldn’t go back to any of thier location!! Overpriced!$$$$$ customer sevice sucks!! Food good! But OVERPRICED! And confusing and rip off! the way they charge?? For side dishes! The 2 and 3 choices plates! I radda go Kapolei!! Julie Z !! Reasonable thier price , fair!!and Excellent service! Food da best!!
The only place in the Waipio area where you can get your Filipino food fix. The food is tasty and fresh and the staff is friendly.
My first time ordering food it was great but in my second time there was hair on the food that I ordered . Then today I ordered a chicken papaya soup and it didn’t have any taste it’s just plain water soup.
Update: Value didn't even matter as we got sick from the oddly mushy lechon (or maybe it was the other super greasy items). We threw most of it out after trying to rescue the meal with rice and soaking up the grease with paper towels. This is NOT what Filipino food is supposed to taste like. Shame because it didn't look gross in the pans. :(

Surprised to see that they put the small side order in a much smaller container than advertised on their counter, but still charged the higher price (grrrr, this is what happens when you leave & ask your family to buy something but they didn't pay attention or didn't want to challenge the old nanas taking advantage of this...), shorting each order by maybe a 1/4 to 1/3. Food would have been an okay value if they actually gave you the amount advertised for the price they advertised, but terrible value as they cheated it...
Food looks good in pans. Unfortunately, also counted 2 flies buzzing around, even though shop doors were closed. Did not see any flies land on food, though also did not see any door blower to keep out flying insects. The cafeteria-style serving areas are so close to the door that I would seriously avoid this place in the summer if they do not install one.
New shop is much cleaner than other Golden Coins (looking at YOU, Waipahu 2-story one).
No bathroom access visible but did not need it.
2 4-top & 2 2-top tables to eat-in, cozy but not overly cramped. No room for a stroller without inconveniencing other customers tho.
Clean cold/frozen case, well-stocked.
Charge cards accepted. No tap to pay (Apple/Samsung pay).
Free parking in lot. Few handicapped stalls. All stalls are close to shops, but narrow & small spaces make it difficult to open your door if you are mobility-challenged. If you have a truck or larger SUV, hope you have great spatial awareness or excellent insurance...
Pre-packaged foods seem a little pricy for area.
Had serious hope for this shop before I saw the takeout order. Disappointing. Will not return.

Asked a worker what the difference was between a few of the desserts they had on the counter, and worker simply told me the names then walked to the other end of the counter and began talking smack about me not knowing what I was buying, laughing the whole time. She didn’t even try to be quiet about it! So terribly rude and such bad customer service. Food is not that great to take that kind of treatment. If could give a zero I would!!
Food wasn't great, good but I've had better flavored food. Price was decent but service/staff acted like they did not want to work. Don't think I'll be back.
