    Korean Fried Chicken and Chili Mixed Plate Korean Fried Chicken Platter
    Maribel H.

    Had a lot of people recommend zippy's. Nice parking lot. Plenty of parking. We waited about 6 mins to be seated. Our food came out pretty quickly after ordering. We got the Korean fried chicken and the Korean fried chicken w chili platter. I got mac salad on mine and my friend got corn on hers. Overall, this was so good and such a big portion. Had to take leftovers to go of course. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

    We heard Zippy's was like a Hawaiian fast food joint, and we were indeed looking for some fast food at the time. We found parking easily and went inside to order. There was plenty of seating opened. We decided on some kids meals and the surf pac deluxe plate. Food came out fairly quickly. The kids loved the spaghetti and burger. The chicken and chili were our favorites from the plate. Hawaiian chili and rice is a must, you're missing out if you don't try it. And the fried chicken was really juicy. Service was pretty good. The restaurant itself was pretty clean. There was also a bakery section but we didn't get a chance to try things. The kids meal came with a token to use on their toy machine, which the kids loved.

    Zippy's is Hawaii's version of fast-food, so we were curious and wanted to try! We ordered the deluxe plate and the mini deluxe plate. The fried chicken was a bit dry, but tasted yummy when you dip it in the gravy. My favorite was definitely the beef and mac salad! The service wasn't great, but we chalked it up to it being a fast-food joint. The restaurant was fairly clean and reminded me of an KFC stuck in 2013ish.

    Chicken trio plate

    We ordered the chicken trio meal that came with chicken katsu, Korean fried chicken, and Zippy's famous fried chicken with a side of mac salad and rice. This meal was definitely affordable and worth it since the portion was huge! Our favorites was the Korean fried chicken and original fried chicken. The Korean fried chicken had a lot of flavor, not too sweet or salty. The original fried chicken was very juicy and crunchy - maybe an in between of Jollibee and Popeyes. Overall both were really great. The chicken katsu was a little dry. Also can't go wrong with the mac salad. The staff here are really friendly as well. Nice diner style spot to stop by!

    My first fast food experience in Hawaii is here at Zippy's! They have everything you would crave for in comfort Hawaiian food, as well as sweets and desserts like cake, pastries, and malasadas. Although I didn't try the sweets, they looked promising and fresh. What my group ordered was their Chicken Katsu Plate, Loco Moco, and Korean Fried Chicken Plate. Each plate came with a scoop of white rice and Mac salad. The food order took time but we had a huge group order and we were told beforehand each loco moco plate would take around 8-10 minutes. To drink, their Lilikoi Drink is amazing and perfectly sweet to counter the heavy foods we were already eating. It was a delicious meal and I liked the Korean Fried Chicken plate the most as it was the most flavorful and went well with rice. So glad to have tried Zippy's in Kapahulu and try out their popular plates. They are an easy choice when it comes to finding a location that serves most of your favorite Hawaiian comfort foods. They also serve breakfast for dinner so an all day breakfast is another bonus for me!

    Visiting from LA. the food portion is good, an older lady at the counter was nice, clean inside and out. Nothing to complain about. I will be back.

    I love that there are mini versions of the entrees! Service is super quick and my food came out fast. I might call Zippy's the Applebees of Hawaii but honestly, it's way better. The food options are a delight. I got the mini loco moco and I devoured it in seconds. It came with a delicious mac salad. I also got the ube chiffon cake, where there was a strand of hair in it hence why a star was deducted. The empath in me did not want to bother the kind workers for a new slice. The cake was fluffy and flavorful.

    My mom's friend told us about this spot and raved about the chicken! We came for a late dinner. There's a small parking lot outside and plenty of seating inside. Chicken trio: 3/5, the Korean chicken was our favorite because of the sauce. The chicken katsu was okay but a little dry. The fried chicken was good but it didn't stand out. Wun tun min: 2.5, the noodles were a little tough. I like chewy but these were too chewy in my opinion. I wasn't a fan of the flavors of the won tons. It was bland I. My opinion Loco moco 3.5/5, probably our favorite dish. The gravy was super flavor and it was a huge portion. I would come back again but I would try other dishes.

    Old school... Can't believe that I haven't reviewed this location especially it was the place that dad frequent just about every single day back in the day when we get newspaper delivered to our home which he enjoyed with his coffee and pastries here at Zippy's. Nothing really had much changed here and it brings so much nostalgia though on this night they did seem quite short handed and picking up on the struggle I felt awful but the staff regardless was very polite and friendly. Always nice to have their fundraiser coupons it's like a pantry where you can get something to eat on the fly as I redeemed my coupon for a hot chili along with a fried chicken plate so that I' can share a scoop rice each with a piece of fried chicken. This location is a bit smaller than some other though do make it work perfectly with lots of free parking and seatings as well and just love coming back here sometimes as it holds fond memories created though the years and nice to see that the vibe still continues for locals and visitors as it's the closets location from Waikiki. Thank you!

    The staple
    Kayla C.

    Zippy's - 2 stars I'll admit--I was being generous with this rating because I knew going in that my palate might not be quite ready for some of Hawaii's local staples. Spam just isn't something I've had much of or really craved! Walking in, the vibe felt nostalgic--like a classic neighborhood dine-in spot. I ended up chatting with a fellow visitor from the mainland, and he swore by the spaghetti (which almost tempted me!). But I stuck with the TikTok favorite: the Zip Pac. It's a loaded combo of Hawaiian staples--fried Spam, fish, teriyaki beef, and a piece of fried chicken, all served over white rice. Visually, the plate was packed and definitely filling. But for me, it was a texture and taste thing--it just didn't hit. I couldn't finish it, but I'm still glad I gave it a try. Service was pleasant, the space was decently clean, and there was plenty of parking. I saw a lot of locals enjoying themselves, which made it clear this is a go-to comfort spot for many. Someone told me Zippy's is like Hawaii's Chick-fil-A, and I can respect that. It just wasn't my flavor lane. If you're visiting the island, I'd still say give it a try for the cultural experience. But for me, it was a one-and-done.

    Busy night at Zippy's but we got what we wanted. A Zip-Pac deluxe, an order of chili spaghetti, and a Vegas pac. All were good. I have not had the chili in a while and forgot how good it was. Fried chicken was really juicy!

    WHY WE WENT HERE: - recommended as the go-to fast-casual restaurant (Zippy's is to Hawaii as Denny's or IHOP is to the mainland; as it was explained to me) THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located on the corner of Kapahulu Ave sandwiched between Ho'olulu St and Campbell Ave - small parking lot - distinct logo at the storefront, alone with "Napoleon Bakery" underneath it THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - honestly made me think of the McDonald's I went to growing up with the way the interior looked - didn't necessarily give me diner vibes per say, but definitely fast food vibes - not sure how the other locations are, but with this location, the bathrooms are code-locked, so if you need to use the restroom, you need to ask the workers for the pin THE MENU: - VERY extensive; overall a mix of standard American, Hawaiian, Japanese, Korean dishes WHAT WE ORDERED: - Korean Fried Chicken - Loco Moco THE TASTE: - Korean Fried Chicken was very tasty! just oddly cold... - Loco Moco was devoured CUSTOMER SERVICE: - order at the cash register, pay up front, and either wait for your food to-go or self-seating is available - when your order is ready you go back to the counter where it indicates "pick-up" - when we had leftovers, communicating with the kid at the counter was very... difficult and frustrating; the day and time we went looked like the workers who assisted us were high schoolers

    Can't go wrong with Zippy's. You know what to except everytime. This location has parking which is pretty spacious. Theres a lot of seating in this zippys. We came to see a cafe, but we realized he didn't have breakfast yet, a lot of the places here open around 11am so it's great to know we can come to Zippys for breakfast before we head to the cafe for out drinks. The service was quick, customer service was ok they do not seem happy to be working here. They did their job but they just seemed so unhappy we thought they were giving attitude but realized it's really just them. The floor isn't really clean inside this zippys. So I was kind of grossed out. But overall it was great regular Zippys experience.

    Omelette chili with toast breakfast and above was the Portuguese sausage and eggs breakfast.

Fortunately we caught Aloha Melt shortly before they closed at 2 p.m. for the comfort food we craved. I saw on the menu that they did offer a tomato soup option, which is one of my favorite pairings in the whole wide world... but this was my birthday vacation so we stepped it up a notch! We got the signature Aloha Melt which sounded like it had all the extras anyone would ever want on a dressed-up grilled cheese: carmelized onion, bacon, jalapeñoes! My mouth was watering just thinking about it. But the mission was clear... Get the awesome loaded grilled cheese and commence the day drinking. We ordered our food at what is pretty much a tiny to-go counter and then hustled with our precious cargo to the nearest bar within walking distance. We settled on Rivals, a little sports bar around the bend who accommodated us so sweetly, although we were bringing in outside food. We completed our visionary mission by ordering two fantastic Bloody Marys and had ourselves a very adult grilled cheese experience. A great dining and drinking experience that I will cherish forever... If you could only taste the Aloha!

The soup was rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. We took our food to go, and even after a 40-minute drive home, the melt was still delicious.

When we walked in, there wasn't anyone taking orders at the counter, so we had to use the kiosks. After ordering, we waited about 30 minutes. During that time, a homeless man cut the line and started a confrontation, threatening other customers. Even after that, we still waited another 30 minutes for our food. I understand this location gets busy, but waiting an hour while dealing with that kind of situation just wasn't worth it. I hope the staff can get more support because it seemed like they were overwhelmed. As for the food, McDonald's in Hawaii is pretty much the same as elsewhere, at least for the dinner menu. The only unique item I noticed was the ube pie, which was sold out. Otherwise, everything tasted the same. The space itself is fairly large, but with so many people crowded at the front waiting, it ends up feeling small. I'd recommend avoiding this location if you can.
