    Large Saimin modding first bite....
    Pat F.

    I'm biased as we have no Zippy's at home but adore this business! There's two sides of service as you walk in. Fast food style service at the counter and similar seating to the left side. And a host station seating diners in more comfortable booths and tables to the other side. I think some items are just slightly more expensive in the full service side? Think the Dennys of Hawaii which my great server agreed to when I told her how excited I was to be there. They have great breakfast all day I think, fried chicken, signature chili(like Nalley's canned only more "Zippy" with seasoning) , and plate lunch style offerings. Some people like their baked goods like malasadas and some cream puff types of things. This isn't the best version ever of these foods but a very reliable quality and portion size at very good prices for Hawai'i. Often more locals than us Haole tourists. We ordered the special Korean fried boneless chicken and rice with a scoop of corn and chili with beans for 13.99$ and I got a large Saimin with char su pork fish cake and choy sum. The noodles was very generous and great broth. A little sparse in the pork but a lot of goodies for sure! My wife kept dipping into my broth..... Her combo was good and she could only eat half. Snack for later!! Again not the best ever if these dishes but great friendly service and big portions at a fair price. If they brought one to Seattle I would be there a lot during work days for breakfast or lunch!! I insisted on getting my last meal and last anything again later that week on a Sunday night going to the airport(nearby) and it was backed up with locals waiting to order takeout on one side and sit down in the dining room!

    Chicken Trio

    Wanted to see Jason Momoa's favorite place in Hawaii, so I decided to give Zippy's a try before heading to the airport. I ordered a Chicken Trio: 1 Chicken, Katsu, and Korean Chicken ($20). It was okay. The chicken itself is good, flaky, juicy, and tender. The katsu is good for a grab-and-go style fast food option, but the Korean Chicken was alright. The portion itself is pretty generous, but this place is on the pricier side for takeout. Zippy's itself is quite large. There is a lot of seating and a big parking lot, which was nice. Inside was pretty clean, but nothing special. We ordered online, and it was ready quickly. I also got the lilikoi drink, which was really good. If you guys know what Jollibee is, I think that tops this place pretty easily.

    Best description is, Zippy is The Hawaiian version of Dennys/IHOP. Staff are friendly. Food is tasty. Stopped by here on a Sunday before heading to the airport. @ 9:40 am this was pretty much the only place opened nearby besides McDonalds. I ordered their Kokua Pac, which was special priced at $11.75 for the month of May. Can easily be made into two keiki meals. Also ordered the 3 piece friend chicken with fries and corn. Lots of fries and corn, option was also to get it with mac salad instead. Definitely need to be a big eater to finish the entire plate.

    When entertaining out of town family, this is a must go to place for good local service and food. With friendly staff and a comfortable atmosphere, it's a great place for a relaxed dinner. Our one problem tonight was one of the orders we placed was wrong. A couple of yummy pancakes is not the same as a Belgian waffle, no matter how good. The affected family member chose to just go with it as the server, Rose, was a really nice lady. We also got the loco moco, the Korean chicken plate, the mini fried noodles, and a vegetable omelet. The portions are generous and all were delicious.

    Finally! Zippy's Kahului food tastes like Zippy's Food! Since they opened the food wasn't good at all. But today it was spot on! Love it. Burrito chili plate and fried chicken Mahalo to the amazing server Amie / Amy. Such great customer service!

    Next stop Zippy's. Came for breakfast. Left happy and full. Service is always pleasant in the morning. They are all so happy to greet and seat you.

    Zippy's has become our new tradition when visiting. This location has been our best experience so far. The parking lot was full of cars (good sign). And I like that they had a full service dine in section and an order at the counter/seat yourself section. We chose to order at the counter, same food but you don't have to tip. We ordered: Fried chicken plate: we come for their fried chicken! Crispy outside, juicy inside. Well flavored. Always consistently good. Korean fried chicken: I don't remember seeing this on the menu before. Chicken bites were fried and sauced with a sweet, garlic sauce. Good, would def order again. Trio plate: came w fried chicken, Korean chicken and katsu chicken. All were good. Katsu was pretty krispy. Decent portion. Place was clean with a lot of seating.

    Chicken Katsu Platter

    I have always loved Zippys, for their food and their drinks. We got the Chicken Katsu, Chicken platter with Chili, Loco Moco, and Chili fries. All of these foods were really delicious with how hot it was and also the very kind and helpful staff. The ambiance of Zippys was great with a dine in and a dine out which makes it very accessible to eat in and dine out.

    Chili Moco
    Cindee P.

    We tried twice to come here. The first night they only had one cook, so we didn't wait for a table. We came the next night and were apprehensive, but the food surprisingly came out fast. It wasn't amazing, but I would compare it to a Hawaiian Denny's. They never had malasadas when we were there. You can also order at the to-go counter if you don't want to dine in.

    Finally got to try the famous Zippy's aka the Denny's of Hawai'i & honestly? I get it. I had the Korean fried chicken breakfast... Chicken was perfectly crispy, came with eggs, rice, & spam! Made me super full is all I can say! My friends all got different things (classic breakfast plates, chili spaghetti, etc.), & everyone left satisfied. The chili spaghetti is apparently what they're known for & my friend really enjoyed it! It's very much a family-style diner vibe, nothing fancy, just good food. Place is big. Cleanliness was okay. Everything is at a very decent price, especially for the portions you get! If you're looking for a casual local spot, for sure check this place out.

    Loco Moco
    Sara C.

    I know it's a chain, but you HAVE to visit Zippy's if you're in Maui. Their Loco Moco was the best that we've tried on the island (and we tried a lot). Loco Moco is a sort of "comfort food" that is a hamburger patty on top of a bed of white rice, topped with a fried egg and brown gravy. It's like a hug in a plate/bowl, so you have to get this if you're anywhere in Hawaii, at least once! We even loved it so much that we used TWO of our meals in Maui visiting Zippy's and having Loco Moco. The interior design of Zippy's is very classic, like a grandma's house almost, with beige walls, and cute Hawaiian themed paintings all over. I'm sure they have lots of other items aside from Loco Moco, but that was the one and only thing we got there, so I definitely recommend it!

    Chicken 3 ways
    Michael V.

    Zippy's is a nostalgic place for my girlfriend in Hawaii. So we stopped for lunch after taking the Maui pineapple tour. Zippy's is often busy and our trip was no exception. The monitor display for the waiting list wasn't complete, the hostess was using a different list and seated other parties that weren't on the monitor. But after about 20 minutes we were seated at a booth. Our server took drink orders and returned with the drinks to take our food orders. I had the chicken 3 ways, Korean fried chicken, chicken katsu, and fried chicken, with French fries. My girlfriend opted for the fried chicken. Both of our meals were good. Mine was too much to finish but I enjoyed all 3 styles of chicken. I snuck a few bites og my girlfriend's Mac salad. A trip to Hawaii isn't complete without some Mac salad imo. Service was good and the food was tasty. I wish that the waiting list displayed everyone waiting to be seated rather than just the people who used the QR code system.

    Chicken Trio.
    Terry S.

    Zippy's definitely lived up to the hype when it comes to the fried chicken. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor -- easily some of the best comfort food I've had on the island. The portions were solid too. The only downside was the wait time. It took quite a while to get our food, and the line moved pretty slowly. If they could speed things up a bit, it would easily be a 5-star experience. Still, the fried chicken alone makes it worth coming back.

It included rice, mac salad,1 slice spam, Mochiko Chicken, BBQ Beef, and 2 large pieces of Shrimp Katsu. Mochiko Chicken is light and crispy and the Shrimp Katsu was battered and huge. The BBQ Beef was succulent and juicy however the sauce wasn't overwhelming. Spam is spam. The rice was a tad dry however the mac salad was good. I did not eat any of the other plates however since all were empty, Im assuming it was Ono. Next to the register there is a display case with various desserts. The next day going home, we stopped by to grab some dessert. The Lava Rocks come in a pair at $5.50. Moist, soft and super chocolaty. The chocolate haupia bar was very nice and not overly sweet. The Chantilly brownie was very chocolaty with a hint of Chantilly and nuts only on top. Both bars were a Shareable size. Overall the staff is very helpful and friendly, the restaurant itself, very bright & open and the food was very Ono! Highly recommend.

We've been coming here for years and I've always enjoyed my experiences here, but last night I had a dish that compelled me to write a review. The oxtail soup which is listed as a favorite is a dish I've been eyeing for a while, but it's usually been too warm for me to crave it. But last night was the night. I'm getting over a cold and it's been raining off and on for weeks. The bowl arrived at the table with a plate underneath - smart move because it takes some work to eat oxtail soup. Armed with my fork and spoon, I went at it. The first taste floored me. It was perfectly seasoned and I could taste the fresh ginger, the broth was a beautiful brown color, there was plenty of napa cabbage and it came with a dish of a scoop of glossy steamed rice and steamed carrots, zucchini and broccoli. Our waitress offered to bring over condiments so I went for the soy sauce - sprinkled on the rice and veggies, I noticed that the veggies might have had a little sesame oil flavor on them so that made me happy. A spoonful of rice dunked into the broth with some of the tender fall of the bone oxtail meat, and a little crunch of the napa cabbage and I was in absolute heaven. I tasted my husband's pork adobo and that was equally as delicious as always. But that soup - that's what really did it for me last night and stays with me today. I walked out of Tante's with a swollen and happy belly and a fresh, tiny piece of ginger stuck between my teeth...a treat for later.

Plate lunches come with the option of Macaroni Salad or Corn for the side so I opted for the buttery Corn. I added Sautéed Onion and Mushroom to the Hamburger Steak and it was "broke da mouth" Ono! The Mini Plate comes with 2 hamburger patties so guessing a Regular Plate is 3-4 patties. Make sure you treat yourself to a delicious Sweet Crepe! My favorite is the Banana and we always add Nutella.
