Never been to this zippys before.. I heard it is the busiest location and I dont doubt that...we got here around 9pm on a wednesday night and the counter and dinning room was busy and I can see why we had to wait a good 20 minutes . THe food is always good (prob taste better when you have to wait lol) Anyways of course dinning room and bathroom clean food is always good and prices always on the high side and value is ok but alot of other places with better deals. Its Zippys Doh!!! read more

YUCK! I went only because I "heard" it is a popular spot with the locals. I am local now, moved here this past summer, not a place I would return to. Place is dirty, old, food is like cafeteria food! The steak burgers with gravy were cheap premade soy burgers, with raw onions on top, gravy and potatoes that did not taste homemade. Gross! It might work for a person who was out all night in the club and drunk. Not even that cheap if you ask me. I would compare it to maybe a village inn or even worse. Not going to return. read more

I regret writing this review but it's necessary. I grew up eating at Zippy's and have always loved it. However, my recent experiences have been disappointing. My favorite chili has always been at Zippy's, but the portions have become so sparse, it's ridiculous. How much does it cost to make chili? read more

The new ordering system is frustrating. I called in to preorder because I only had a 30-minute break. When I got to the window, I was told I still had to go inside and wait in line since I was paying cash. That completely defeats the purpose of preordering. It would make a lot more sense if cash payments could be handled at the window instead of adding extra steps. read more

Food is usually consistent. It's Zippys.. Except my chicken that was pretty dry. Service was ok. Our server was very sweet and apologetic but it was late and the kids food came out last. Our server took off the saimin that took 35 minutes to come out. Yes, I'll be back. Ewa doesn't have a lot of options after 8pm. read more

Zippy's Ewa - when you pay $20 for a surf pac... you hope is not overcooked chicken... also the food was cold.... - Diners Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

It's been years since I've visited Hawaii. So like Shake Shack in New York, or Whataburger in Texas, or even Roscoe's in SoCal, I felt the need to try Zippy's in Hawaii before the end of my vacation. No relevance in food categories, but I had to try the local 'love it or hate it' food chain in-person. Glad I tried it too! Here's the scoop: Dining / Atmoshphere: ~ I don't recall seeing tables, but there were good-sized booths, and they appeared to be clean. Nothing fancy, just setup similar to a Denny's or IHOP. ~ Average talking family noise-level type of atmosphere. It did get a bit louder, as it got busier in the short time we were here. Food / Service: ~ Chicken Trio ($17.25) to try it all! This had chicken katsu, a fried chicken thigh, and Korean fried chicken with rice and mac salad. I didn't care for the mac salad as it was bland imo. The katsu I liked, but the KFC and thigh was a bit over-fried. I used the chili (no beans) to soften things up. ~ Zip Pac Deluxe ($20.95) was a local favorite with steak, crispy fish, a slice of spam, and a fried chicken thigh. Mac salad and chili on the side. This was a better combo with a little bit of everything. ~ Zippy's Famous Chili ($3.05 small bowl side) which is what they're known for and the reason why I wanted to come here in the first place. And I gotta say, it tastes just as good as their frozen chili packs from Costco lol. It's a versitile chill that can go well in a burger or hot dog. But good with any type of fried chicken in this case, I guess. I still liked it. ~ Grilled Cornbread ($3.10) good stuff. Not too buttery and not too dry. I dig it! ~ Napple Apple pie ($4.40), now this came out warmed up and yummy too! ~ As for service, we were helped by Jadelyn, who was on-point from start to finish! She made decent suggestions, took our order, and filled our water glasses when needed. When It got busier, she kept things positive and kept on smiling. She's the reason for the fourth star. Otherwise, Zippy's gets a 2- or 3-star review out of me. In closing, will I be back? Probably, but only to try a Chili Omelette with a side of Chili Cheese Fries. At least now I can tell folk, "Yes, I've been to Zippy's, and I'm glad they are all over Hawaii!" read more

Went at 3:23pm- loved it! No line! The manager took my To-Go order, and she was a breath of sunshine! Very patient with me, because I really couldn't decide what to order. Her name was Hazel M. I also got a free long john pastry because of my birthday! ZIPPY's is fortunate to have such nice, respectful and courteous employees. Thank you Hazel! read more

We ordered from the take out side and sat down and awaited our number to be called. Once we picked it up and sat down The French fries were cold along with the Portuguese bean soup. Then 2 parts of the order were wrong, but we are regulars at zippy's and normally it's a 3- star and sometimes a four, but today just happened to be a tough day I guess. What really stinks is the size of the cup they give you for free water. It's the size of a Dixie cup so I asked for a large water and they charged us 78 cents!! 78 cents for a cup of water!!! I can see 50 cents to include tax to pay for the cup but zippys is a local favorite so why the need to take advantage of us? A paper cup must cost 10 cents each with shipping cost let's say 20 cents so why not charge 50 cents including tax? You're still making a profit. It's water after all. We love zippys. My kids love zippys and I take my grandkids to zippys. We like the ambiance too! But, the prices are being raised and the quality has dropped. Fries taste better hot upon receiving them and shocked that my Portuguese bean soup was cold, but like I said, maybe a benefit of a doubt is required. I will go back, but if it's the same, I will take family there less often. read more

First time going to the Ewa Beach Zippy's I was very surprised with the amount of parking and the space for inside dinning and take out. The take out dinning area was kept clean and the counter staff was very nice and pleasant! We had the Fried Saimin noodles which was a little salty but very flavorful and tasty! The Korean chicken plate was tasty and with a slight crispy texture, and the Mac salad was also very good not overly dominated by mayonnaise. I enjoyed the spacing of the tables and they have a take out restroom and also one for the dinning area. They also had a lot of hand sanitizer posted around the restaurant and dining areas. read more

I made an online order 1 hour prior to pickup for mac salad thinking it would save me some time. The app said my order was ready at 3:10pm, but I got there later due to traffic. I decided to go through the drive-thru line which had about 6 vehicles on front of me. I waited for over 7 minutes but the line did not move, so decided to go inside instead. When I got inside, there were about five employees behind the counter and no one taking orders or at the pick-up pre-paid line. There were two people in front of me, one that was waiting to pick-up and another customer waiting to order as no one was taking orders. It was a little disappointing that no one acknowledged our line but they did appear a bit busy for 3:30pm in the afternoon. I waited another 10 minutes to finally be helped in the "paid and pick-up here" line. The employee who ended up helping me was nice. No one acknowledged the customers inside and was more focused on the takeout window and phone orders instead. At this point, a Manager or Supervisor should have noticed it and had someone help the inside counter as there were six of us in line waiting to be helped. I hope that their service will get better. We use to come to this location all the time but haven't been here in a bit. When I left, I noticed that I would have been fourth in line in the drive-thru which means that they only helped three vehicles while I was inside. It looked a bit hectic, but if orders were not ready, they should have had them wait on side to assist the others in line. All in all, I was there for 20 minutes waiting which was very long for ordering through the app. read more

Zippy's Ewa - Menu at front counter! - Diners Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

Zippy's is a classic restaurant to dine in or order takeout for its comfort food. So i don't expect anything gourmet or even high quality but I feel like Zippy's has gone down hill throughout the years. I like their food, their chilli is good, i wouldn't get chilli anywhere else because Zippy's is like known for their chilli. But when i arrived to pick up my food after doing a doordash order pick up, my food was super cold, not even any heat under the tupperware, straight cold. It just makes me wonder lots of things. I know Zippy's food isn't made super fresh on the spot after placing an order, that's why I don't expect so much from them. I could place a pick up order 2 mins prior and I know my food would be ready because it's not fresh so the fact that they didn't even bother to heat up the food for me is something else like they don't care at all. And i'm not sure what the policy is with utensils but i got zero utensils. As for the food I ordered, chili is good obviously, you can't mess up chili, chicken is good with the sauce I poured(photo doesn't have the sauce on). Mac salad was bland. The Corn bread was not good, it was cold and didn't taste good at all, and i've had great tasting corn bread before. read more

Ordered the local favorites platter and my sister ordered the Korean chicken platter. We both received text that our orders were ready for pickup. I drove there and mine was ready but my sisters wasn't. Had to wait 10 minutes which made no sense because we were already notified it was ready. Mind you I went 10 minutes after receiving the texts and I still had to wait. My platter was missing the kats sauce and the tartar sauce which pretty much made the kats just plain chicken and the fish plain as well since neither has very much taste without the sauces. My sisters Korean chicken platter barely even had any sauce so it was flavorless chicken as well. It was crispy but it was too much where it was hard to even eat the Korean chicken because it was too over cooked. Hard and dry. Everything was just terrible today. Luckily I was able to somewhat save the local favorites platter by making homemade sauces but it defeats the purpose of buying takeout. Overall terrible experience. read more

Zippy's Ewa - Local Favorites Platter and I had to make my own sauces - Diners Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

I've been to Zippy's quite a few times since my last review, but it's always for the breakfast plates. We usually order through the app for pick-up and enjoy our breakfast plates on the beach. The orders are on time and I don't think we've gotten an incorrect order yet. My go-to is the bento with rice, eggs, Portuguese sausage, and either bacon or corned beef hash. My new favorite is their chili. A side of their chili with the breakfast bento is *chef's kiss*. Next time, I think I'll try the chili moco. read more

I've watched this restaurant get worse and worse over the years. After waiting 30mins for my online order, I then got stuck in the parking lot for another 15mins because their drive thru line was backed up. They also make the worst fried chicken. It's so dry and rough, I wouldn't even feed it to my dog. Stay away from this place. Try Kapolei or Waipahu instead. read more

I'm probably blowing this all out of proportion but I'm steamed. I ordered through the APP three pieces of Jin dui. I received an email it's ready for pickup 6:17. I arrived and checked in in stall 2. 6:25 l called and was told it would be right out. 6:32 others have come and gone. 6:40 others have gone in and came out with their orders. Called again. Order is ready. Someone is bring it out now. 6:45 cars on both sides of me has come and gone. I call again and was told the person missed my order and will bring it out now. 6:50 Nobody answer the phone. So I go inside and spoke to the manager. She goes in back and brings out my order. States it just came out. Well at least it hot. Why was it ready at 6:17. And only came out at 6:50? She said sorry and offered me a drink. I was too livid to accept. read more

Try the dobash cake!!! The food is home to the island and the service can be okay. It is a typical fast food restaurant

For starters they was really rude. Let someone go ahead of me and that's not right. I ordered mini breakfast and it's like no eggs. I got egg whites. It it's so small.. this is not the first time I buy this.. but very upsetting.. also, the music was loud and it had lots of swearing. I don't agree with that kinda of work ethics.. I will not be going back.. read more

Zippy's Ewa - Look at the small egg. I know it's should be more! - Diners Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

Pretty decent sized location. Not too busy when I arrived, so I was assisted very quickly by a very friendly server. Ordered the loco moco and it instantly became one of my faves. The meat was cooked just right and was very flavorful (basicallya meat patty). The gravy was savory and not too heavy and served in a bed of rice with eggs on top. The ratio of rice to everything what was perfect. I hadn't eaten that morning, so this was a great breakfast. Menu had a lot of options as well, so I found myself going back and forth on some selections. Will definitely come back to this location! read more

Thank you to the members at Zippy's Ewa takeout section!! I went in to use some fundraiser tickets that I had purchase from family for her cheer competition. Since I was picking these up for family on Kauai and they all wanted chili. Instead of giving me plastic containers that will probably spill or be damaged during my flight they offered to give me the sealed bag instead. It was a busy morning with all the hungry customers in and out of that place. But the staff were moving and still had a smile. They deserve a raise for all their hard work. Thank you again to that morning crew that was working, you made my experience and my trip a lot less stressful. read more

Tried Zippy's on my first day in Hawaii for dinner. I've had Zippy's on my list of places to eat. Food: +Loco Moco- I've had loco moco back in the mainland before but I was excited to try it here. The gravy was seasoned perfectly and the hamburger patty had flavor as well. My favorite was their Mac salad! After a couple of bites of this dish, I started to get tired of eating it due to the rice being a little too mushy due to the gravy poured on top. +Garlic Fried Chicken- Reminds me of Korean fried chicken! The garlic sauce was sweet and garlicky. The chicken was crunchy on the outside and moist in the inside. My cousin ordered this dish and enjoyed it as well. Tip: Order their lilikoi drink! read more

I ordered through doordash and my food took about an hour. By the time it arrived, it was pretty cold (not the dasher's fault) I've had a dasher assigned that cancelled because of the long wait which I don't blame them for. The next dasher was super patient which I appreciated and it came maybe 30 min later. I couldn't even dispute it on doordash but it shouldn't take that long to make the spaghetti and even for the malasadas to be ready. I did order at about 10:30 at night so I wouldn't have expected it to be that busy. What I got: - spaghetti with bread 4/10 - malasadas 8/10 read more

Super easy to walk in and sit down to eat during the week! The menu unfortunately is lacking in some options as many items are only available certain days of the week. Nothing on the dinner menu really caught our eyes so we opted to have breakfast for dinner! The food was good but nothing spectacular, except for the macaroni salad. That salad was the best redeeming factor, along with the guava juice. It's kind of addicting. Our server was kind and we ordered and received our food very quickly! We opted to order dessert from the bakery but the slice was a little dry. The glaze was delicious though! Other things we tried from the bakery to take home were also dry. Overall this is a great spot for a quick and casual meal. read more

I've been to a few Zippy locations.By far my experience at this location did start good.We waited to be seated for at least 30-40 minutes!.There were many empty booth's and people that came after us we seated 1st.When my girlfriend checked we weren't even on the list!..I was ready to just walk out!.Then my girlfriend went to ask how much longer is our wait???.So right then he took us to be seated.Soon after the waitress came we ordered our drinks then our meals.My girlfriend ordered the fried chicken plate n I had the Locomoco.The food didn't take long to arrive.My girlfriend enjoyed her fried chicken plate.It was crispy with the right amount seasoning. The amount of food on her plate was to much so finished it for her.My Locomoco was good!.The hamburger patties were perfectly cooked.Tender with right amount of flavor,over easy eggs and the mac salad was the cherry on the cake!.So good!.I even forgot about what happed in the beginning!..Also the service was okay..Honestly can't wait to eat at Zippy's on my next visit.. read more

The last time I came to this location, it was 2016. I wrote a review with a one-star rating. When I said it would be a long time before I returned, I meant it! LOL I returned seven years later to this location since we were with company and the location was convenient. Okay, food was a lot better than the last time, and service was okay, esp for a Saturday. As such, I'll update my review and give it a three star rating. read more

Went for dinner and we got sat right away. The waitress was not my favorite due to her inattentive nature, but it's Zippy's. The food was exactly what we expected and of course we ended with desert from the bakery. I didn't know that the napples were only in two standard flavors (apple and coconut) and a monthly flavor. I was craving chocolate, but I just missed it because July will have chocolate for the month. Overall a great time with the family! read more

Local favorite in the Ewa Community Open for dine-in from 6:00a to 10:00p every single day -- fast food, restaurant and bakery! They have a drive-through window for phone orders but we dined in for a late lunch. We were required to take a temperature check prior to being seated. Here's what we got [party of 4]. I was excited to dine here. Korean Fried Chicken - golden fried pieces of chicken with their signature ono Korean style sauce. I should've ordered the regular size instead of the mini Loco Moco - these hamburger steaks are always a local favorite. My daughter enjoyed it. Teriyaki Beef - the beef is marinated in their special sauce for hours. I had a taste of it from my hubby's plate... I want this next time. Fried Chicken - crunchy, golden brown, juicy fried chicken... I purchased a bag of the chicken mix to bring home. All our meals were under the "Local Favorites" in their menu and came with choice of white or brown rice and choice of macaroni salad or corn. Our server was nice and friendly, attentive to our table. Oh man, if only I could eat more... I always have room for dessert, though! After lunch we head on over to the bakery side and I ordered half a dozen of malasadas. Took about 5 mins because it was made to order. Freshly made, fluffy and so good! This was where I bought the bag of chicken fry mix (2-lbs $5.75). Napoleon's Bakery is their in-house bakery. Review #2261 read more
