Shays Filipino Cafe - Waipahu

We use to really like this place. But today a big fail. My boyfriend ordered adobo fried rice earlier today. And as he was eating it tonight he found a piece of wire in the food. Lost his appetite after that.

Always enjoy eating filipino food, and this used to be our go-to place. Like most places, the prices have gone up, but food is still delicious. Wasn't crowded when we arrived, and food came to the table pretty quick. Atmosphere is always nice here Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Husband needed to get some Filipino food since he lived on Guam. This was recommended to us and did not disappoint. The look on his face when he bit into the pancit was priceless and the memories brought back from the pork lumpia! It's a quaint little place off the tourist path but we'll worth it. I had pancit and pork belly which was fabulous! Limited seating so go during an off time and enjoy a place frequented by locals!

Was not impressed. Although, breakfast is all day was great! But their longanisa lacked flavor, over med eggs became over hard, over hard eggs became scrambled. Their ube pancake is something different out of this island. I have not tried their Filipino pizza but seen quite a few take out orders. With only 1 server and 1 Cook the wait was not long. Although our food came out with what not what we wanted, but still ok...

Chef Owner should be pro active, more attentive to what current former Patron have to say about their Food preparations, this way, they can improve their sub par tastiness. Word to the wise if you want authentic Ilokano dishes go to an Ilokano Restaurants and these list are not in particular order, such as: 1. Kambingan Filipino Food Express they open early from 6am 9pm Waipahu 2. Thelma's Waipahu 3. Elena's Waipahu 4. Julie Z Restaurant Kapolei These 4 are highly recommended with Ilokano Cuisines especially they've been around so long Julie's chef used to work for Elena's Restaurant Waipahu . Filipino Restaurant in general 5. Max's of Manila Waipahu My Family once dined at Shay's it was okay , but not my #1 choice to go to, see my Top 5 choices above. My sincere review. Jo
