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

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

Zippy's Kapolei - Sorry, the only pic I took was here of the aftermath. Was so hungry that I forgot to take a pic before we ate. - Diners Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

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by someone who hasn't tasted seasoning since the roaring 20's. Zippys isn't terrible but Celebrity endorsement has been revoked. 1/2 at best.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

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

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

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

"It's too cliche I won't say I'm in love" at Zippy's The customer service is always 100! I grew up on Zippy's all my life and no one makes French toast like Zippy's French toast! Also the butter garlic steak is so buttery can't wait to eat it again! Don't forget to get you a side of sautéed mushrooms to add to your steak it's so delicious! 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

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

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

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

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

10 minutes before even acknowledged! And the place was empty total of 3 families were seated. 4 in the afternoon before rush hour. No excuses. Then when I was finally acknowledged I was asked if I was ready to pay!!?? WTH. Once seated our server apologized and mentioned the woman was new. Our server ( Kat ) got our dinking quickly and took our order promptly. She was very helpful. Thank you for turning our dinner around. Thanks to the cooks for making everything delicious. read more

My first time n it was horrible. I ordered a cheeseburger with tomato onion and lettuce n macaroni salad my daughter ordered the chicken beans n rice plate n 2 glasses of ice water. We got our order after 15 minutes with no one really in the place n my cheeseburger was Luke warm at best, cheese unmelted like it was an afterthought and the mustard sauce was so bad I tried scraping it off! My daughters chicken was dried out pieces and the macaroni salad was warm lastly it was an expensive lunch for 2 people and still had to get up to get water from an employee who acted like it was a chore to stop visiting with her coworkers n cooks to get our water. I hope other people will not have our experience because I could have eaten at a 5 star restaurant n actually got to eat my food instead of throwing most of it away. In the future I will not leave a tip for such horrible service and food! 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

I come home ready to enjoy the food I ordered and this is what I find. Is this what I can expect Zippy's?! Do I have to quality check the entrees I order every time before taking them home? Do your food preparers not care or have any pride about the entrees they serve to customers? Sorry to say, but this is very sad as well as UNACCEPTABLE! I mean I still like coming and picking up dinner here, but quality and consistency is a major problem!! Please fix! 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

I ordered two zip pacs and both the chickens were burned black and the hoki and spams were not cooked. I literally had to put them in my air fryer to cook them. I tried initially ordering on app it kicked me off twice saying something went wrong. I called three times got sent straight to holding no human contact. Tried on app without signing in and it worked but my food was bad. You charge almost $40 for food and I tipped too. You Gotta Do Better!!!! read more

Happy National Chili Day! I'm more of a no bean kinda gal which makes it like a bougie bolognese lol but celebrating this day Zippy's offers specials on their famous chili and we're the lucky ones to nab this deal. It's $4.50 for a 10oz bag of original or no bean that comes cold/frozen only which I did online for an efficient and easy pickup and will notify you if it's ready earlier than time promised. What I also noticed is that they also have regular chili with rice for $5.95 and what a dinner deal! This Kapolei location is really nice and clean I love the vibe here with lots of free parking, there was no line so I was greeted instantly and got my order was in and out really fast. side note...I later realized that my order was wrong, double check always as I didn't.

Food gone downhill. Service sucks. Finished eating and never did ask if we like refill on our drink. We close to the kitchen and saw the server heating up the French toast in the microwave and checking the temperature with her finger. Guy refilling the ice and touching the ice with his bare hands. Bruh, so unsanitary this place. Pau eat and still waiting for someone to check in on us so we can get the heck outta here. read more

This is a locals' restaurant in Hawaii and I wanted to show my family what Hawaii had to offer outside of the resorts and Waikiki. Food: The servings are generous and you might have to do takeout for leftovers. In our case, we ordered 3 meals for 4 people (2 adults and 2 kids) and it was plenty of food. Our meals were served fresh and warm. I enjoyed their fried chicken and my wife liked the saimin. Our older daughter loves Spam and getting a mini meal for her was perfect, the service is normal, almost like going to Denny's or IHOP in the mainland. I highly recommend this Zippy's. read more
