As someone from the mainland, it was nice to see a local fast food chain that served something different from the typical things we get.

The amount of food and quality was solid overall. The musubi could use either more spam or less rice since the ratio is a bit off though, and the tarter sauce was very different, more like a salad dressing. Would eat again though.

The Korean chicken plate was a complete disappointment. The chicken and rice were cold and bland, with some pieces of chicken being fresh while the majority were hard and chewy, as if they had been sitting on the counter for hours. The French fries, burger, and chili were equally disappointing. I’m not sure I’ll be returning to this restaurant. Do not recommend.

All I can say is — how do you not like Zippy’s? This place is a true Hawaii staple. I know the prices have gone up over the years, but honestly, where haven’t they? Even with that, Zippy’s is still worth every penny because it’s more than just a restaurant — it’s part of island life.

Zippy’s is one of those places that everyone in Hawaii has a memory tied to. Late-night meals after the beach, quick lunches between work, or grabbing a plate lunch before a flight — it’s always there when you need it. The consistency, the comfort, and that familiar taste never change.

If you’ve never been, imagine the McDonald’s of Hawaii — but with better options, better flavors, and way more heart. You’ve got all the local favorites: chili, saimin, loco moco, Korean fried chicken, oxtail soup — the list goes on. And don’t even get me started on the bakery side — their napples and dobash cake are legendary.

What I love most is that Zippy’s doesn’t try to be fancy. It’s just good, comforting, local food done right. You walk in and instantly feel at home. Locals, visitors, families, and late-night crews all mix in one place — that’s Zippy’s magic.

Every trip back to Hawaii, I make sure to stop at least once (usually more). It’s that familiar taste of home that always hits the spot.

Mahalo, Zippy’s, for keeping it real and staying a local favorite all these years.

From Guam, Zippy’s is the closet Restaurant to Shirley’s and Kings, so you know it’s good.

My parents favorite Zippy’s location on Oahu. Every Sunday afternoon we’d come here for lunch. The employees were always friendly and welcoming.

The food always came out fast and hot. Everything on their menu is delicious. Aloha and Mahalo for the memories.

I waited over 20 minutes for a regular chili.. if they were busy I’d understand. Although I had to go up to the counter to ask for my food that I watched sit in the window for almost 15 minutes…. Won’t be back to this one

Dear Zippy’s Management,

I would like to file a formal complaint regarding the poor service I experienced at your Waiau location today.

My party and I arrived around 2:00 PM and checked in using the QR code. We sat on the other side of the wall from the waiting area because another party was seated in front. When that party was called, we continued waiting but no one checked the waiting area or noticed us. Eventually, I moved chairs from the side to the front, and only then did a server notice us. The server seemed surprised and said, “Oh! Were you guys always there?”

We were finally seated at 2:17 PM by a male server with a bun, who never returned to take our order or check on us. A female server with curly hair also saw us sitting there but made no effort to assist or acknowledge our table. By 2:30 PM, we decided to leave due to being completely ignored.

This was an extremely disappointing experience and showed a clear lack of attentiveness and professionalism. Please ensure both employees are retrained on awareness, communication, and proper customer service, so future guests do not have the same experience.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
