@fortunefoodfinds: "Was way overdue for a PLATE night! Went to ZIPPY'S for their August Deal that's happening until 8/30: Spaghetti & Chicken Mixed Plate. Yenno it didn't stop there, had to have my Korean Fried Chicken & Chili Mixed Plate, plus our table ordered a Saimin, local favorite Zip Pac Deluxe, n' da hubz got his forever go-to Chili & Chicken Mixed Plate. Getting together over onolicious food is always so great!" SERVICE: fast n' friendly INTERIOR: spacious, have a take-out side n' dine-in side EXTERIOR: in the same plaza with a 7-Eleven WAIT TIME: got seated within 10 mins PARKING: free lot OVERALL COMMENTS: didn't realize until I saw the menu that dining in for the August deal was $2 more than if I were to order it through take-out. Food is always so good. You can substitute the rice for mash potatoes at an additional cost, which is what I did for the KFC & chicken mixed plate since we had rice for the other plates. Chicken is crispy, chili is tasty, n' sides are a nice compliment. Zippy's is always the perfect choice for a wide variety of delicious comfort food! read more

Respectfully speaking, Zippy's was fine. Our server was nice. The restaurant was clean. Our order was ready maybe 10 minutes after placing it. So, service was quick. The food was mostly hot. If it wasn't it was warm. I understand Zippy's has been around for 60 years and is beloved by locals but I personally didn't understand the hype. It's one of those places you have to grow up eating which gives that nostalgia that adds to the taste and the experience. The food was hot the service was nice but the food was bland, disappointing and forgettable & that's truly unfortunate. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anyone. Once was enough for our family of 8. read more

Breakfast at 8am on Sunday morning. Not crowded at all, walked in and were seated right away. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Food delivered to our table in 5-10 minutes, pretty fast. Place is clean and open with the updated floor plan they implemented just a year to two ago. Got my usual Zip Omelette with Wheat toast. Always a safe choice for a healthy low carb meal. We were in and out in less than one hour, amazing. Been coming here for 25 years, always feels so peaceful with our favorite comfort food. 4 stars. read more

Zippy's Kapolei - ZIP omelette with wheat toast. - Diners Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Interesting place. I was told by a Hawaiian native to try this place as it is popular with the locals. He was right. Loaded with local folks. Everyone probably spotted us mainlanders! I had the Chicken Katsu. It was actually too much food. I should have ordered the mini plate. Dipping sauce was good but the whole plate wasn't terribly flavorful. My wife had the Wun Tun Min. This is a noodle soup. Dumplings, noodles, veggies and broth. She really enjoyed it. Fast service but not much ambiance. Basically reminded me of a Denny's type restaurant. Large amount of food at a reasonable price. read more

Zippy's Kapolei - Korean chicken chili mixed plate - Diners Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

This was my first meal on the island after landing. I feel like the rating it has on here is NOT accurate at all. I didn't know what to expect coming in, but I had only heard great things! I got the Korean fried chicken plate while my girlfriend got the loco moco plate and both were so damn good! The chicken was a good amount and had a great crisp on it! The loco moco was hella good too with tasty gravy and a perfect egg placed on top! I recommend giving it a try and look away from the rating here. read more

Popped into Zippy's Kapolei after Physical Therapy this morning. We were greeted right away. We sat in the dining area. The waitress' name was Sandra and she asked what would we want to drink. My son and I both got iced water for the time being. We looked over the menu and my son got the Zippy's omelette with fried rice and a side of hash browns. The omelette was loaded with Portuguese sausage, spam, veggies and cheese. I had the veggie omelette with white rice and a side of hash browns. We then ordered 2 Orange Bang juice. Was ono! Dining area was clean and orderly. Bathroom as immaculate as well! The waitress was very polite and courteous. We hardly get to eat here but when we do, it's an amazing experience. Just have a pic of the aftermath, Lol... Next time we come back, we're gonna dismantle some Napples. Aloha Zippy's Kapolei!! read more

FPO and I had just flown in from the Big Island (Hawaii Island). It was late for us (around 9:00 pm). The fam asked if we were hungry. Next stop Zippy's. After hearing about their experiences at this Zippy's (not great) I was a little surprised that they picked it. I guess the service is slow and food expensive. I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, Zippy's has gotten greedy in last several years but everyone's prices are crazy, insane, high these days. It was busy Saturday night and the place was pretty full. Still we got seated kinda quickly. Donavon was our server. He was friendly, efficient, and funny. The food came out fast, it was hot. I haven't been to Zippy's in a few years. It was the same as I remember, and that was comforting. read more

We are back on Oahu again so of course we always have to stop at Zippy's.So we came to this Zippy's since we were staying in the same area.So I got the Vegas zip pack n my girl friend got the fried chicken plate.The Vegas zip Pack had a lot of food!..I managed to finish it..So good!My girl also enjoyed her meal!!..When always on Oahu or when there's a Zippy's we have to stop and grab a bit. read more

This is a review from a first timer. I've heard many good things about this local chain, and I was looking forward to trying a few items, especially the famous chili. Some of my family members have been to Zippy's before, and they enjoy coming here when on vacation. We had a big family lunch party, so we ordered a bunch of items. I got to try the Chili Moco, a bowl of chili (with beans), and my main order was the Saimin. After trying the chili with both beans and no beans, I prefer the no-bean chili. The saimin was delicious, but average. If you're in the mood for soup or noodles, this would satisfy. The lilikoi drink was also refreshing and sweet. For dessert, we shared two popular items, the Haupia Cake and Chocolate Pudding. Both were very satisfying and ended the meal perfectly. The Haupia cake was not overly sweet, and it was moist and light. The staff seemed overwhelmed, but they still got most of our orders out quickly and maintained a friendly and attentive vibe throughout the meal. There's a quick-service counter for takeout and a spacious dine-in area to enjoy your meal inside. Overall. It was a pleasant first experience, and I am hoping to dine in again in the future. read more

Went fir father's day. Plenty of empty tables but we still had to wait. Not enough servers. Would have thought it would have been an all hands on deck planning. But it's understandable as they wouldn't want people sitting at tables waiting for someone to take their order. Wait was worth it when we got our meals, it was piled high! Wish the serving size was that way all the time. read more

Zippy's is our go to when we cannot decide on where to eat or if my husband is craving chili burrito. We have not been to thr Kapolei location in a while but since we were in the area we decided to go there. It looks almost outdated in a sense like no upkeep has been done. When we were brought to our table there were crumbs all on the booth seats, both sides, and the table was sticky. We asked the hostess if we could have something to wipe it before she left us, but was gracious enough to do it for us. However, we had to now sit on a seat that was not completely dry. As I made my way into the booth I noticed that I was sitting next a mess that looked like it had been there for some time. The only reason I am giving 2 stars is because our server was very nice, otherwise I would have given it 1 star read more

I definitely like this location but it can be busy on the weekends. Service was good here. Everything I ordered was delicious and flavorful. My favorite is the breakfast here from strawberry waffles to pancakes. So good. Wait time wasn't too bad. It's between 10 to a 15 minute wait to be seated. Parking is up front but there's parking in the back. Highly recommend read more

We came here because Jason Momoa recommended it and I just want to say... Aquaman should keep his butt in the ocean and stop doing food reviews immediately!! ‍ Ordered the Chicken Trio and Korean Fried Chicken, and somehow both managed to be impressively bland. Crispy? Sure. Flavor? None. The Korean fried chicken had about as much kick as a polite handshake. To be honest, This meal felt like it was recommended by someone who hasn't tasted seasoning since the roaring 20's. Zippys isn't terrible but Celebrity endorsement has been revoked. 1/2 at best. read more

Just wanted to say that our experience was pretty great here. We had a party of 8 just trying to find an easy meal at the end of the day, and despite our party size I felt like we were seated relatively quickly. Our server was Donovan and he was super nice, food came out pretty fast and delicious. One star off for cleanliness but otherwise a good stop for quick and easy food. read more

Had to try zippys as it is a local favorite. Got take out so I can't speak to the service but the pick up situation was very efficient and easy. Got the saimin and I'm glad I got a large as the small wouldn't have been enough food. The loco moco was good but we haven't tried many versions so don't have a comparison point. The chili cheese fries were also solid but a fairly small portion so if you're sharing maybe get a few orders. Overall the food is decent and a good fast food option. read more

I really don't understand all of the low reviews... this place is great for what it is. We almost didn't come in because of the reviews and I am glad we took the chance. Our server (Sandra) was very kind and attentive. The food was really good, we had the chicken trio and zippy platter. The ambience was decent, you aren't walking into a 4-star restaurant, it reminds me of a McDonalds inside. If you are on the fence on whether to go here or not, I say go for it, I don't think you will be let down! read more

I had a hefty meal of the salisbury steak with mashed potatoes, the service was excellent, lots of choices! Their friend chicken looked wonderful and my husband left happy.

ZIPPY'S BROKE DA MOUTH! I'm so glad I didn't listen to the reviews and went to Zippys for the first time today. First, the service was outstanding and the staff was so nice and friendly. Second, the food came out fast, hot and fresh and looked even better than the pictures in the menu. And lastly everything was delicious and by getting the Zip Pac I was able to try some of everything especially the Mac Salad and Chili. I honestly don't give out 5 Stars often but with the price point, quality and excellent service Zippys is a must go when in Kapolei! Shout out to our waitress Sandra too for her hospitality and Aloha! read more

Very kind staff, clean restaurant. However it is very interesting that the prices are different when you're ordering it for takeout verses when you dine in it's almost 3 to 5 dollars more for each item if you dine in. How does that even work? You would think it would be more money to eat take out since you have to use to go containers, utensils, napkins etc. read more

Ordered online today. Ordering was easy to use and easy to customize. Payment options were also very secure and convenient. Updates via text were on point and informative.

Walked in close to 8pm it was a little busy most of the tables were full and I thought I would be okay to take my party of 3 we placed our name on the digital waitlist. All the parties in front of were taken in order so we thought it would be okay. While we were waiting the child in our group was getting restless and we were next on the list to be called. While I was waiting for my name to be called a party of 4 people was called to be seated before us. I'm just wondering most of the tables are made for parties of 4 so how can you take a party of 4 people before the party of 3? Am I missing something? Since they don't go in order of the waitlist why do you have a digital waitlist? Also why do you let people see when they are next to be seated if you don't go in order? We waited for five more minutes to see if it was because they were cleaning the table; no they were not setting up our table and most of the tables were clear of guests or being cleaned. We ended up leaving to go somewhere else. I usually don't go to Zippy's for food but now I think my decision is validated. read more

Service at this location has gone down hill. We were seated and we place out drink order. Ten minutes later one diet and two Ice teas arrived. Fifteen minutes after our drinks came the server came to take our food order. I ordered the Ox Tail soup. our friend ordered a club house sandwich and my wife the Fried Noodles with a peice of chicken. A half hour later the clubhouse and fried Noodles came. Still waiting for the soup. Another ten minutes past ,yey my soup arrived. Decided to do a take out for our dinners. Flag down our server. Placed an order for mini Korean Chicken, spaghetti and three slices of Dream Cake. Took another half hour for the take out to come.Well on our way home my wife got a call from our friend. She said that it was Dobash and not slices of Dream Cake. Got home and checked our order. Sure enough it was Dobash and not the Dream Cake which we ordered. Oh well Enjoy read more

Averaging 2 1/2 stars - NOT surprised. I've been to many Zippy's locations and i must say, Zippy's Kapolei is something to be desired. I order online (Uber Eats) almost daily and each time i order from Zippy's Kapolei it never fails that something is forgotten or missed. The add-ons to sandwiches (or even deletions) or daily plates or even wrong drinks. Am i assuming too much? Shouldn't this be basic basic lessons? Today topped it - it was the straw that broke the camel's back! :( i ordered chili and rice - guess what, NO RICE!!! I also order 1 dozen jin dui - guess what, NO JIN DUI!!! I get it, inflation. The public is getting less for more $$$. Are we now skimping on what is assumed to be so basic that the customer can't even get what they ordered correct?!?! I hope your Vegas locations aren't like this. This would be so embarrassing to Hawaii. read more

Went to pick up my dinner- specifically for the dessert. I've been wanting to try the blonde brownie which was delicious. Highly recommend it. I also wanted to try the Boston Cream Napple. So, we specifically did not finish our entree so we'd have room for dessert. I don't think the cream should be tangy. I wanted to inform them that they may want to take it off the shelf as it may have been sitting too long. I was on hold for a bit, then finally got to speak to someone I asked to speak to the manager; they wanted to know "why?" Upon explaining the situation, I was placed on hold again. After more than 10 minutes, I hung up. I think that was much too long when someone is reporting potentially spoiled food. I was going to just inform the manager, but as I didn't have a chance to speak to them, I needed to comment here. After all of that, we didn't finish our entree and unfortunately that taste is still on my tongue. read more
