They should communicate better what they have available as far as desserts and how to take payments over the phone. Not question the customer "Are you sure you want to pay over the phone?". I went to their store to pay for some desserts, only to find out it wasn't available. I drove down there for nothing. I am Filipino American, I speak Ilocano. I do not speak & have limited understanding of Tagalog. Unfortunately, I didnt understand what she was telling me over the phone. I wish I understood, then I wouldn't have driven to the store to pay for a product that is not available. read more

I'd suggest going somewhere else. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. The food was cold, tasteless, and not enjoyable. We ordered several plates with a variety of items from the buffet line, and nothing seemed to be served at the proper temperature. The lechon kawali was cold, so the skin was chewy instead of crispy, and parts of the pork belly were hard. The mongo beans were concerning enough that I didn't feel comfortable finishing them because I wasn't sure what was in the dish. The longganisa/tocino also lacked flavor. I wish we had checked reviews before stopping here. Overall, the food did not taste fresh, warm, or properly prepared, and I would not recommend it. We ended up going next door to eat at Jolene's instead, in order to have somwthing freshly made. read more

Honestly, The Pinoy Food Is So Good! I Come Here For Plate Lunch. I Come Here For The Banana Lumpia. I Come Here For The Pandisal Bread... The Service And The Dining Areas Aren't to Shout For Joy For... But, It Works. read more

Great food but slow service they need a better system.... Like pulling numbers also kind of expensive

I'm not sure why this place is listed to be "permanently closed" when it's very much open. I grabbed a plate of pancit with fried chicken and it was good but I wish I got a bbq chicken skewer or something else. 7/10 on the service because they were kinda slow but I love me some Filipino food. Usually I'm picky with Filipino food but this one hit my craving. They also have an arrangement of drinks and other grocery items, as well as fresh baked pastries or breads like pan de sal. It's a small restaurant with a takeout style cafeteria option. People can eat inside as they wish. There's a lot of different food choices in this shopping center but I was craving Filipino!!

They brought back the pandesal. But still small. Spanish rolls are bigger and still more expensive that the pandesal

I USED to like the lumpia before, but that changed after today. The lumpia at the Ewa Beach location somehow shrank and got short in length. It was tough to eat and the noodles inside were very hard. It was THE worst lumpia I have ever eaten. It was short, torn, and fried. 1 star for good sauce. read more

Why did I come here? Just craving for a quick breakfast, I came here. The service is ok but the food is well I should just stick with dessert. I know you read my Waipahu Golden Coin review. Even through the food is on a hot plate under lights. My food was cold. How cold? Cold enough for me to put the sweet longganisa in the microwave. And I only live five mins away from this place. The pancit was hard and I threw away half of it. Overall one star. Food not the greatest here but I'm sure the pandasal is good. read more

Great service, delicious Filipino food, and desserts! The place was clean and had a friendly environment!

1. Restaurant wasn't hot and I was wearing scrubs. 2. My roach-y senses were not tingling. No roaches, or flies for that matter, in sight. 3. Staff was helpful. 4. Food looked appropriately moist. 5. Saved money by not going to the ER. read more

Food spoiled. And they said thats is how it really is. So expensive. Not worth at all! Don't go here

Try the dozen pandesal baked fresh everyday. We also come here after church to get traditional Filipino food for brunch.

Worst customer service!! I ordered hot pan de sal and was willing to wait the ten minutes. I paid and sat at a table to wait, I'm the only customer sitting there. First of all, I don't know why the counter person put my order in five minutes after I placed my order. But after waiting patiently for 20 minutes, I inquired about my order, it was sitting on a shelf, she handed it to me, and it was NOT hot. Asking how long or why it was sitting there would be useless. They didn't care. I will never be back. read more

Dear Pandesal, I terribly miss you. I miss the way you smelled when I walked into the room. I miss the way you felt in my mouth as I bit down to your outer crisp met with a soft inner goodness. I miss hearing that ding from the bell announcing your entrance. I miss the way you made me feel when it was all said and done. I miss you! Do you miss me? I think of you on two occasions that's Day and Night! Kim C. I moved to San Diego and have searched all over for a place that sells make it when you order pandesal to no avail. What: Golden Coin started in Hawaii it's a Filipino fast food and bake shop. There are 7 locations on Oahu and 1 on Maui. This location is small. There is seating inside and outside. Where: Located in the Lualani shopping mall near Teddy's Bigger Burgers and next to Ross. Parking: Tons of free parking. The food: It varies by location. You walk through a line and the food is ready for you to pick and choose. You can choose ala carte, mini, 2 choices or 3 choices. I like the breakfast deal for your choice of bacon, langanisa, tocino, or Daing (fish). It also comes with rice and an egg for $5.25. Though this location is small they offer a variety of desserts. There are individual sizes to party sizes. For dessert I like the ube roll, cascaron, and the turonitos with saba. Service: It varies. Sometimes it's good and sometimes you have to make sure your presence is known. The Pandesal: 5 stars! This is the main reason I come here to get the fresh made to order pandesal. It's $4.25 per dozen. This location keeps it in the oven longer. I like it a bit more crisp. I could eat a fresh dozen on my own. If you like Valerio's type of pandesal you may not like Golden Coin's version. Valerios is thick, doughy, and bigger. Pandesal....I am counting the days until I return home to the islands. You will be one of the first I will run back to enjoy! read more

Just a quick trip to Gold Coin Bake Shop n Restaurant in Ewa Beach....it's lunchtime and I'm am hangry for some delicious Chicharon....,yep there are mountain full there! I chose one that looked just right....meaty but still with some fat(!).....Josie asked if I wanted it chopped, yes please!.....the pieces were chopped so that we could dip it in our homemade sauce( vinegar..garlic...1 small chili pepper) da best!!!.... 4* Covid protocols: workers n customers all wearing masks 4*Food quality n presentation: the Chicharon was tasty although there was hardly any crispy crunch to the skin..(you see the beauty of eating Chicharon is to enjoy that yummy crackling skin) so maybe the process for getting the crispy-ness got lost somewhere?!? 4*Customer service: during most of my visits customer service was always blah...but I must say today was really nice...Josie was tops in my book! Salamat Ms Josie! Keep up the good work!! read more

The employees at the Golden Coin Ewa Beach are RACIST against non-Filipino people. I visited Golden Coin today around 4:15 PM to purchase dinner for my family. There were several sample containers displayed with various prices, and the way they were arranged was very confusing. Naturally, I asked about how they serve their à la carte items, but it was still confusing when a younger Filipino employee tried to explain the pricing structure. The person who assisted us was a young Filipino woman in her early 20s. While talking to her, she became sarcastic and arrogant, rolling her eyes. She set a negative tone from the start. While I was placing my order and deciding what to get, she turned around to talk to an older Filipino woman, making snide remarks about me. They even referenced that I am Hawaiian and started laughing, which really pissed me off. The girl stopped assisting me, and the older woman took over, but she was no better. I called the manager, who responded with, "And so? What do you want me to do about it?" I am going to spread the word to everyone that I know to never go to Golden Coin again. This place should close permanently! read more

I love the ladies who work at this restaurant. Food is always fresh and carefully packed, and I always get the dinuguan and dainty na bangus or the longganisa. I've tried their tinola too and that was awesome! A taste of home in Hawai'i. read more

It was our first time to order food from here for take out - everything was good except for the shrimp canton - to where the batter was a little more pancakey (if you will) then would have liked it -- not a deal breaker --but again over all one of the best Chinese places to date. Yes, this place will stay on our list. read more

My mom loves their halo halo, so we went there and I decided to buy lechon (roast/ or fried pig). Well, it was straight up fat! Fat has flavor, but this will straight up give anyone a stroke! I am so disappointed and will not buy lechon from them again. Not to mention, the lady there was not very friendly. So sad... Go to Waipahu Don Quiote for lechon. The Filipino kiosk there has wayyyy better! read more

Jung food forever My wife bought plate lunch 2 choices. But food already rotten. Golden Coin is a big company should have better standards. Not gonna go back again read more

Idk why someone gave it a bad review. The food is tasty and legit. It could be warmer since its under heat lamps but overall it's good.

Golden Coin in Ewa Beach has improved over the few years, particularly its pandesal. Everyone in the family prefers it over Valerio's pandesal. Only problem is its presentability; the rolls always look like they've been stepped on. Maybe management will look into this? read more

Good experience to satisfy our occasional Filipino food cravings. An array of bakery and hot meal choices. Come in the AM for the fresh stuff. read more

The space inside is rather small. So if you're just there to pick up some pandesal, I would recommend doing the phone order so that you are quickly in and out. They sell a number of frozen products as well as prepackaged stuff. They are doing some dine in but its a pretty small spot so take out is your best bet. I highly recommend the arroz caldo. It always hits the spot if you're not feeling well. They also sell waffle hit dogs if you're feeling nostalgic for the old KC Drive Inn days. Their food is usually fresh. The lumpias can be a lottlw overdone so check before ordering if they are done to your preference. read more

The workers are super nice and helpful BUT the store is superhot!! Its like a sauna in there, literally. It's hotter than a hot yoga studio!! It's definitely not a good working condition for the workers! read more

Filipino Food is the way to my Heart. Born and raised on it there has to be some sort of expectation that comes with the quality right? Golden coins selection is extensive, from classics like chicken adobo, even to having the various soups Filipino cuisine has to offer. This location is alright. They've got variety but majority of the "hot food items" are actually Luke warm . That's not good is it ? Customer service is Filipino Auntie kind customer service which is ok. Nothing really special but the fresh Pandesal is probably the only reason I'll pay this place a visit. I LOVE IT WITH COFFEE! They really need to get the hot case temps checked out cuz it might be a health hazard! Beware guys. read more

Service is just horrible. We've ordered from them a few times thinking maybe they'll get it right. We gave them "hey, just to let you know"s so that they have a chance to make things better. Welp, they didn't. They've messed up our take our orders multiple times. We've asked them to repeat our orders back to us to make sure they understand what we asked for. We tried to make it work and asked them where was the miscommunication and all they could tell us was "people are different." I'm not even sure what that's supposed to mean. I'm not sure how else to explain it except that the service is incredibly horrible. They are very aware of their horrible service and do absolutely nothing about it. Not sure why people in the service industry think that bad service will allow their business to stay alive. Hoping they can turn their service around. So sad. read more

Wife and son spent the night in the er with food poisoning. They ordered the dinakdakan. Do not eat here.

Bad service. Two young ladies working. One was ok; she wasn't rude. The other was. Asked a question about the menu and she ignored me and muttered something to the other worker. I left, calling out thank you to both and neither responded. It was so weird. If you dislike your job so much, quit. read more

Bad costumer service! Suppose to look who is first in line then help the other people they know. Just because their friends with them. Thats not good costumer service. They should all learn how costumer service is and not snobbish and rude to costumer. I hope this goes to the head manager or the owner of golden coin. We are filipino community and we all should be nice! Costumer is always right Roset! Ask your coworkers mistake. You suppose to apologize! What a disappointment, set good example aunty! read more

0 STARS! I only selected 1 star because I had to. My husband and I ate here on Thursday 08/25/22 and we got food poisoning, it is Monday 08/29/22 and we are still dealing with the food poisoning.

Good food and bakery items. It was our first time to the restaurant and it ended up being a pleasant surprise. Food was very tasty. Would definitely recommend this place read more

Poor quality food. Food is old and been out all day. Disrespectful to the customer to even serve! This is NOT filipino food.. Filipino food has tons of flavor and you can tell its made with love. Golden Coin is not! read more

When I'm in Ewa Beach and craving Filipino meals and pastries (when my parents don't cook) this is the spot to go to. Food- Breakfast I get a dozen Spanish Rolls. Thick 2 finger sized rolls with a. Buttery sugary filling. They're not Nanding's great but close to it. They are best to eat when hot. Lunch or dinner I order more breakfast- Longanisa (sweet Filipino sausage) Pork Ticino. Pancit is good. They also have pastries and frozen food to take home. Prices: plate lunches and food cost more than a lot of Filipino restaurants on Oahu. Service/Atmosphere- Place is clean. Tables inside and outside. Once in a while I get weird looks for being Filipino and not ordering in Tagalog. Meh. I can totally relate to the negative reviews of service here For me it's the only Filipino turo-turo (point point) place in Ewa Beach. If I'm not feeling like driving to Elena's in Waipahu or Nanding's I'm town....This place will do. 2.5 stars round up to 3. read more

Location: It's located in Laulani Village next to Ross and Teddy's Bigger Burger in Ewa Beach. There are tons of parking at this shopping center. Food: They sell a variety of Filipino food from hot entrees (Adobo, Pancit, BBQ sticks), fried goodness (banana lumpia) and desserts like Halo Halo. Golden Coin is known for their hot Pandesal so I was EXTREMELY disappointed that there was NO Pandesal when I went in around noon on Thanksgiving Day. I can understand if it's not hot but NONE at all!?!? I was told that the Pandesal is baked at another location and brought in. (They didn't get their next patch in.) Horrible! You should be able to get Pandesal any time of the day nice and hot as long as your willing for it to bake but they can't even bake it at this location!?!? Since there are no hot Pandesal at this location, I normally get the BBQ stick and banana lumpia. Price: The BBQ sticks are almost $4!!! Expensive but it's decent. The banana lumpia is over a $1 each but if you buy 4 then you get 1 free. They sell plate lunch around $10 depending on how many choices you choose. Overall, I am disappointed about the Pandesal issue and will not get Pandesal from this location but I will still stop by and get banana lumpia if I'm craving for it. read more

I haven't been here in years & thought I'd give it a try not once but twice, & twice, the quality of the food was disgusting. They used to be one of the best Filipino food on the island but now, everything I ordered was bland & undercooked. Sloppy & lack of seasonings. All locations too. They're not generous with the portion either & expensive especially their pastry. Overpriced & they lost their touched on quality. They added more veggies than meat for my entree every time. There's new restaurants that's way better than this but this was the closest to me but now, I'd rather drive out for good Filipino food. read more

Recently (Friday the 13th) I ordered a leche flan pan for a party and noticed it was really pale. The person behind the counter stated that when you cut into it, it will release the caramelized sugar beneath it. I don't think she really knows what really happens. It barely had any caramelized sugar and it was also bland unfortunately. Today (9/17/19), i purchased halo halo and 2 ube cascaron. The halo halo was great but the cascaron was old. 5 hours later I'm paying for it. My stomach is churning, I was nauseated and now I have the runs. It's disappointing to find out later that this Golden Coin rated only 1 1/2 stars. Will I be coming back? No read more
