Our vision

Shays Filipino Café was created with a simple idea in mind: even if you’re not in the Philippines, you can still enjoy an authentic Filipino meal right here on the island of Oahu. We’re a family-run café that truly cares about serving not just amazing food, but also providing great service and a warm, welcoming experience. What sets us apart is our unique mix of classic Filipino dishes and non-traditional creations that you won’t find anywhere else. Our mission isn’t just to serve up the best Filipino food in town—we want to share the flavors of the Philippines with everyone. Whether you’re already familiar with Filipino culture or it’s something new to you, we’re here to make sure every meal is a journey of discovery. We’re passionate about introducing Filipino food to people from all walks of life, and we believe it has a place in every culture, especially here in Oahu. Our dream is to spread these delicious flavors across the United States, one plate at a time. When you walk through our doors, we hope you not only enjoy great food, but also take a little something special with you—whether it's a deeper appreciation for Filipino culture or a newfound favorite dish. We’re so excited to share a piece of our heritage with you and to make you feel like part of the Shays Filipino Café family!
