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

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

One of the better Zippy's dine-in on island. Got the chicken trio with chili cheese fries. Clean, good service, bathroom close by, can't complain. 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

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

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

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

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

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

Zippy's Ewa - Loco Moco with over easy eggs - Diners Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

This zippys always take so long if I'm just trying to get takeout. Dine in is fine. Do not go to this zippys for takeout unless you like waiting. Estimated time of order was 10:55, got pushed to 11 and currently writing this 11:30 as a hungry filipino who just wants some korean chicken. read more

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

Zippy's Ewa - A zippy's feast! - Diners Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

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

Gotta love Zippys. Picked up family for the swap meet and we all came home hungry. We stopped in at the Ewa Zippys for lunch and all left happy. Had the Katsu Chicken which is always good. Simple, affordable comfort food in a clean restaurant with great service. What more could you want? read more

Zippy's Ewa - Kate - Diners Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

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

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

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

Zippy's Ewa - Diners Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

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

We have been coming here more recently since the wait isn't too long. Service is friend and fast

While ordering I was watching this guy packing the food container with the plastic cover. Had trouble because couple pieces of chicken was causing issues with him snapping the cover on. He tried to move the chicken around with his bare hand and kept trying to push down the cover but to no avail. Then he put it to the side to maybe have someone else try? That's when I started paying for my food so I didn't notice how they eventually covered it. Gross!!! read more

We've dined at this location many times with our dog and never had any issues--until we encountered Dan, the hostess. Unlike previous visits, she suddenly insisted that our dog needed a service vest, despite this never being mentioned to us as requirement before. What made the experience worse was her rude and arrogant attitude. As we calmly explained that we had been allowed to dine with our dog in the past, she immediately shut us down, saying, "I don't care!" A professional and polite approach would have made a huge difference, but her unfriendly and dismissive tone made the situation unnecessarily unpleasant. If customer service is a priority, Zippy's should train their staff to be courteous and respectful, even when enforcing policies. If someone lacks basic manners, perhaps they'd be better suited for a role that doesn't involve direct customer interaction. 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

Does anyone else have problems with Ewa Zippy's? I placed my order on the app at 5:14pm when I was leaving ewa beach. 5:41p I get an update that it's in the kitchen. So I wait get to Zippy's and wait patiently. I even see my name on the board. After 6:15 still no update and my order was placed an hour ago. I go to the counter at 6:25 cause I no longer see my name on the board. I asked the guy about my order and he looks all over and finds nothing. He then asked what I ordered. After a minute or so another worker points to the counter behind him. I asked how long my order was there and he said he doesn't know because he didn't pack it. If I wasn't starving and didn't have my kids waiting at home for dinner I would've asked for a refund cause of the wait time and the food is no longer warm read more

The fried chicken was absoluto bombazing- ono-riffic, broke da mouth! The loco moco was good, but a wee bit on the salty side. I didn't enjoy the smell of what smelled like shishi (pee) as we walked to and from our table. I didn't use the restroom but they say of the bathroom is dirty, then so is the way they handle their food and kitchen. I'm from Salt Lake and i took the longest vacation ever to the mainland and now and back! I will be coming to zippys Ewa beach in April and by then, i hope it doesn't smell like shishi and i hope the bathroom is spic and span clean and sanitary. If anyone reads this and they have been to Zippys Ewa Beach, please tell me how the bathroom is if you've used it! Mahalo! 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

Open late!! One of the few fast food joints I could find open late. The menu is MASSIVE. For a first-timer it'll take a minute to figure out what you want but the positive side is there is probably something for everyone. You can't go wrong with the Korean fried chicken and I love the side of Mac salad that comes with most things! Zippys is def a vibe. read more

03/01/23 before our flight back home to Vegas we ordered a Portuguese sausage and corn beef hash to go that comes with rice and eggs x2 and a chili bowl with rice x2. Fast drive thru service and they text you when it's ready for pick up or delayed. Of course food was amazing. But here's a TIP: TSA won't accept chili, it's considered a liquid but the TSA lady was nice to let us go and said it won't fly next time. read more

I no mean for cuss but Zippy's Ewa gotta get wit da pogram for fucks sake. you see a customer waiting, open da fuckin register and take their order! read more

Ordered online for pick up and it was ready when we arrived. The staff checked each order to make sure our order was correct before handing it over. Very thankful for their attention to detail. I split the Chili Moco with Mac salad and also the Chili spaghetti with a piece of fried chicken. I loved the Mac salad here. The chili is also so good and I can see why it is one of their specialties. This was my first time having Zippy's and I cannot wait to come back the next time I'm on the island. read more

I have 1 recommendation to the owner. I picked up my zip pac and Korean fried chicken and a chili moco. 1 suggestion is Please add more sprinkles to the bento's! I have been eating these since I was 5! After bowling my grandma would bring us to Zippy's. Before you use to add so much more sprinkles but now it looks like Zippy's is not doing so well on money? Or is it just the portioning? Thanks!!! read more
