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! read more

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. read more

Mom got hungry and wanted some Zippy's for lunch. So off we go! Thankfully being the 9th Island in Vegas - we have a number of Zippy's to go to now. It was nice to visit one of the OG ones in Hawaii, one of the first ones off of the island of Oahu too! Kahului Zippy's was sooo busy when it first opened, I remember! Zippy's flavors and vibes still there. Just decent, good local food! Can't go wrong with the Korean Fried Chicken and Chili with Beans combo, with 2 scoops rice & mac salad! Splash on the shoyu, black pepper, Tabasco and she GO! Great meal! Service was fast and friendly, but on a weekday for lunch Zippy's was pretty dang empty! But I get it, being on Maui you get all kind of food choices for try! Sometimes though you just want something basic that you know going stick to your tummy! Awright! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Finally made it around to trying Zippy's after hearing about it on all my past visits to the islands! We came at around 9 am on a Sunday and waited a few minutes to be seated (it wasn't crowded but I assume they had limited staff to tend to all the tables). When we were seated, we placed our orders and got our food in probably 5 minutes or less which was impressive. The coffee was ripping hot, not the best but did the job. We got the April special which was Korean fried chicken and chili for $14-pretty good deal and a won ton min. For us, the won tun min was the real star. The broth was super clean yet flavorful, and the large had a ton of dumplings in it too! Service was nothing super special, but enough to get what we needed in a timely manner. The chicken was good too, but we did have a lot of fat chunks in our pieces which we weren't the biggest fans of, but perhaps just a personal taste thing. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Stopped by on the way to the airport at 4:30pm on a Sunday and initially turned towards the dine-in side which was completely empty save for two tables of people, and was told there'd be a less than 20 minute wait. Which I hope was true but our group of three decided to just go to the take out side and chose the dine in option. My chicken trio came out immediately but the other two dishes, loco moco and zip deluxe took another 10-15 minutes. Food once it came out was good, would say very average. My fav was the korean chicken. Was hard to find a clean table. My friends liked their food a lot. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Wow, the quality was amazing for a diner. We had the breakfast- French toast & omelette. Both were flavorful and fluffy, very fresh tasting. I took a star off because the prices were pretty insane for random things. Like 5.70 for a soda fountain ice tea or 4.50 for a side of wheat toast. Besides that, great place with great quality. Will be back to try their lunch / dinner! read more

This was one of our favorite meals from our trip to Maui! Unpretentious, straight-forward, and solid. Reasonable prices, quick and friendly service (shoutout to Sarah, our waitress!). This beat some of the other more "popular" places in Kihei in our opinion. This is a must try if you're visiting Maui! Edit: We loved it so much, we went again the next day and tried the Korean Fried Chicken Breakfast. It was 10/10. Coming from LA where we have Korean fried chicken places like Kyo Chon and BBQ chicken, we were very impressed. Our waiter, Kalani, was very quick and attentive. Visitors to Maui, don't sleep on Zippy's!! read more

So sorry. Imma big time Zippy's fan. For so long. But maybe I built it up too high in my head, or maybe this place just not good. But so average at best. Of source easy to find park. Right in front no problem. But the table service line too long so we go udda side to counter order. Very fast here! Pass by all the yummy baked items but didn't buy. Zip pack deluxe cuz hungry! Fried chicken kind of dry and bland. Not expected. I think teriyaki beef or Kalbi, not sure. It's ok but had a weird after taste. Dish cutlet good!! Spam always good!! Mac salad ok. Rice ok. Chili ok. Spaghetti plate bland again. Was' going on?? And then it was freezing in the self seating area. I mean frozen time. Eh maybe bettuh next time. I no quit on Zippy's! read more

I took my Little Sister from Big Brother Big Sister to celebrate our 1 year match anniversary as BBBS kindly sent us a Sparky's gift voucher, so we forgot about healthy food and had a feast! Small Saimin - not so small, full of noodles and curly wurly pink fish cake and pork, steaming hot and umami French fries - crunchy with some very long fries, served with a sauce of your choice Obashi cake - a delicious chocolate cake with a crunchy exterior and chocolate filling 2 scoop ice cream - vanilla and chocolate with whipped cream, big scoops too Fruit punch and decaf coffee - coffee was freshly brewed Our server was lovely, looked after us well and made sure we had a nice time celebrating. Homestyle food, nothing fancy, but everything tasted great. read more

They are usually a bit short staffed at this location, so the wait can be a little longer but trust me, it's totally worth it. My go to is always the Zippy's chili with a side of rice. A big bowl of chili topped with chopped white onions? It's pure comfort. Every bite is packed with flavor and just hits the spot. I was recently introduced to the oxtail soup and was not disappointed. It tastes like something your grandma or mom would spend hours simmering on the stove. It's rich, hearty, and feels like a hug in a bowl. It is on the pricier side, and I do wish it had a bit more broth, but the flavor more than made up for it and had plenty of oxtail. read more

Tried Chicken Katsu platter for my first meal in Hawaii for the first time! The meal was pretty good I'd say slightly above Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Chicken Katsu was fried well with flavor and chicken was not dry. It went well with the teriyaki sauce too and also the macaroni salad was decent too. Overall 7.2/10. If you're a tourist like me and want a simple meal this is the place to go! Although it is a little pricey (paid $17) but portions are decent. Only downside is if you're looking to dine in it may be a little inconvenient as my party was told to wait 15 minutes. So we just went to order takeout and sat on the tables to the right. I would recommend doing this because it will save you time and money! read more

We look forward to coming back here when we visit Maui again! read more

I cannot visit Hawaii without visiting a Zippy's. It is the ultimate Hawaiian comfort food spot. Of all the times we have visited Hawaii we only tried Zippy's for the first time last year on the Big Island. They are all over Oahu. I was ecstatic when I saw there was 1 location in Maui close to the airport. This was our first meal and it did not disappoint. We got a plate with korean fried chicken and chili with rice. I usually don't eat chili but I do at Zippy's. It is the bomb. Korean fried chicken, bomb. My daughter got a mini chicken katsu and she enjoyed it. My son got a bacon cheeseburger and he liked it too. Prices aren't cheap but nothing is, we accept that. The food is solid and we dream about coming back. Service was exceptional as well. IYKYK. Thank me later. Must try. Aloha! read more

After watching a YouTube video of Jason Mamoa eating here, husband and I had to give it a try on our first food spot in Maui. Unfortunately it was nothing to rave home about. I got the Zip Pac Deluxe. The best part was the beef. It was seasoned and sauced up excellently and it was tender. The macaroni salad was good. Everything else was underwhelming. Spam, breaded fish, and chili was nothing special but edible. Now the fried chicken I was a disappointed because it seemed like a popular item and thought it would be good but it was very dry and the flavor was lacking. Husband got the Surf Pac. His only had the fried chicken and beef but double serving of it. The portions are big but still expensive but everything here is going to be expensive and while husband did enjoy his food I thought the taste and enjoyment of the food did not match the price tag. I say pass on this place. read more

We got the recommendation to try Zippy's from our Lyft driver when we were on Oahu! We wanted to grab a bite to eat before checking in to the hotel we were staying at and this location is conveniently close to the airport. We do not have this in NJ so I'm very impressed that this is fast food! We ordered the Korean Fried Chicken Plate to share. The portion is generous and was enough for 2 people. We've tried Korean Fried Chicken from many restaurants before and this ranks among the top that we've had. We also enjoyed the macaroni salad that came with this dish and ordered another side of it. So glad we gave it a try! read more

Ok Zippys I finally met you! After many visits and hearing about the famous zippys we finally stopped in. The connivence and location to the airport made it an easy choice! Now this is a place where you need to avoid if you have heart problems because it's fried it's salty and it's tasty! I ordered the half loco moco and it was still a massive plate that had me wheeling out of the restaurant. I tried a bit of the Korean fried chicken and the garlic soy glaze and crispy fried chicken was crave worthy! I didn't try the chili this go but next visit will be the moco with chili. read more

Amelia P.! The nicest, most pleasant server I have come across, in many of my travels. What a positive influence to this establishment! Now, the good and the bad! My fault that I decided to indulge at this restaurant on Labor Day around noon time no less. Crowded. Close to a 20-minute wait and I was warned. My order consisted of Korean chicken, corned beef hash, two eggs obviously and huge portion of white rice. By the way, the Korean chicken was fantastic. The corned beef hash was a big slab of lukewarm mush, grilled on one side and raw on the other side. Eggs were perfect. Rice was a tiny bit dry but edible. read more

Local Hawaiian food restaurant with bakery and pastries. Close to the airport. Staff is friendly and helpful. You can dine in or take out. There are two seating spaces available. One is bigger dining with service or tables you can eat what you order for take out. You can also order ahead and pick up in their lockers. Their malasadas and apple turnovers are our favorites! Order ahead for the malasadas! Lots of options here on the menu to try. They also have platters available for pot luck and parties. If you're visiting Maui and want to try some local food, stews, chili, bentos & other comfort-food dishes stop here! read more

Looking forward to a Hawaaiain based chain we were left disappointed with Zippy's. Parking was easy as there's a bunch of spots inside. We opted to order from the register and get our food to sit down. We ordered the ZipPac Deluxe and spaghetti with garlic bread. The ZipPac Deluxe was okay. The fried chicken was not good, very tough. The spam was good, it's spam so. The fish filet was probably the best part of it to be honest, flaky and tasty. The teriyaki beef was also good. The spaghetti however was not good, it lacked any real flavor. We thought it would be similar to Jollibee spaghetti but it was a far worse version. The garlic bread also was just not good. Maybe it's this location but by the end of the meal we just felt the whole thing was just meh... read more

Been to Zippy's before, but my bf hasn't, and it's one of those places that people feel the need to try. We stopped here to pick up food on our way to the airport.

The only Zippy's on the island is a fantastic find, especially given its proximity to the airport--ideal for anyone flying into OGG and looking to grab a bite before heading to their final destination! On our visit, it was a chilly day, so my partner and I decided to warm up with a bowl of saimin. You just can't go wrong with a steaming bowl of noodles; it was absolutely delicious! Our friend chose the chili with rice, and it truly hit the spot--nothing beats the classic OG chili! We were also impressed by the friendly customer service, which added to our enjoyable experience.

Whenever I'm on any Hawaiian Island, Zippy's is an absolute must-stop, especially late at night when options are scarce. I always order saimin; it's warm, comforting, and hits the spot every time. I also love mixing in their Korean fried chicken, eggs, and a red hot dog. It's a crave-worthy combo. The ambience leans toward classic diner vibes, not fancy. But because of its classic popularity and late hours, it can get crowded or lines can form late at night. It's unbeatable Hawaiian comfort food with that nostalgic Hawaiʻi feel; it's always worth the visit. read more
