Zippy's McCully the original one opened its doors October 17, 1966 Sixty Years in business and still going strong . We meet with some friends for breakfast. Our server Janice did an awesome job. She was fast, friendly, and very efficient. One of the few who take the time to ask for and input your Zipster rewards number . Love the renovations. We ordered the Vegetable Omelette, Portuguese Sausage and Eggs, and the Club Sandwich . Everything was prepared fresh and served hot. Coffee was hot and fresh.

Korean fried chicken and two mac salad scoops
Stephanie V.

Service was fast and friendly. I always get Korean fried chicken with double mac instead of a scoop of rice plus macaroni salad. The KFC takes a little bit to be ready but I'd rather wait a bit and get fresh, hot chicken. My chicken was great. Fresh, crispy, hot, and plenty of sauce. Mac salad is zingy and the perfect amount of saltiness. Plenty of tables to sit at and eat your food. I think I got plenty of chicken in my order and it tasted great. I would definitely come back to this location again. Even though it's not the closest one to me, I like it a little better than the one on Kapahulu.

Korean Fried Chicken Platter

Zippy's is by far my favorite fast food place! Plenty of local food options and the bakery is simply amazing! Some of the best pastries, pies, and desserts I've ever had. Zippys is my favorite Korean fried chicken spot. My go to order is the Korean fried chicken plate with a Lilikoi juice and apple napple. Classic local spot everyone should try. Servers at this location were kind and the ambience is like a diner. Not the cleanest but nothing too bothering.

Zip pac
Cody L.

If you're not familiar, Zippys is Hawaiis answer to fast casual comfort food, somewhere between a fast food and a diner experience. They have an extensive menu with several hawaiin classics and is open late which makes it a perfect post-drink meal. I got the ZipPac which is a rice plate that comes with a piece of fried fish, fried chicken, teriyaki beef, and a slice of spam. Absolutely phenomenal. My only complaint was the wait time-the food took quite a while to come out. I also ordered the saimin (basically like cup noodles), but after about 30 minutes, I ended up asking them to cancel it. That said, the manager and servers were really apologetic and friendly about it, and they even offered to comp it, which I appreciated.

Pork Cutlet. Order something else
GLENN F.

The worst Pork Cutlet I've ever had. It was tough and chewy, most of it all stuck between my teeth! No joke. How can A fine establishment like Zippy's even buy such a low quality pork? Ridiculous. $16.65!

Chicken Trio
Kristine N.

This was my first time ever trying Zippy's, and I seriously wish I had discovered it sooner! This location isn't in a busy tourist area like Waikiki, so we had no trouble getting a table, and there was plenty of parking available. The service was a bit slow at first, we waited at the door for almost 10 minutes before being acknowledged. Once our server arrived, she was super sweet and attentive. The menu has plenty of Hawaiian classics, like loco moco, but we decided to try something a bit more hearty. We ordered the Chicken Trio to share, and it was definitely a hefty portion. The chicken katsu was perfectly crispy, and the Korean fried chicken had a sweet glaze that I actually loved, even though I'm not usually a fan of sweet flavors. The fried chicken really stole the show. Crispy, juicy, and with the perfect breading. I was craving it for days after we left! It also comes with a mac salad and two scoops of rice. The rice was a bit mushy but overall still enjoyed our plate. Recommend 10/10!!!

Chicken Katsu Platter
Avita G.

After a long flight from LA, the first stop is zippys for some good old Hawaiian food lol We got the loco moco, chicken katsu and the kids spaghetti! I feel like the loco moco's patty could've been a little better, but it might be a personal preference. The chicken katsu was bomb! The chicken was moist and crunchy. The service was spectacular, from when we came in we were warmly welcomed and the service throughout our meal was very friendly. Definitely a staple part of our Hawaii experience!

Korean fried tofu platter with Mac salad
Andrea M.

This review is specifically for the lent special, Korean fried tofu platter. It is so good, I look forward to it every year, please make it year round. Your current tofu burger is ok, but this special Lent platter is 10/10 and would expand the fast food vegetarian options.

Korean Fried Chicken and Chili Mixed Plate
Lauren M.

Good comfort food that makes you feel like home. My go-to is usually the Fried Chicken plate (winners!) but this last visit, we got a clubhouse sandwich and the Korean chicken/chili mixed plate. We like to come to this one because it has the dining side and not just takeout. It's a good stop for late night food! Service is always good and the servers are friendly. Last night there were only 2 workers but they managed the crowded restaurant well! Still very attentive despite being busy.

Spaghetti with chili
Mikey H.

It was late. I just left Anna O'Brian's and I needed to eat. One of my friends told me about the July special so I went to get it: regular spaghetti with garlic bread and you get a mini for free. That spaghetti hit the spot! And I saved the mini for breakfast on the day I left! This really is a great special so take advantage of it because it is only for July! Mahalo Zippy's!

Zip Pac Deluxe
Mikayla P.

First stop Zippy's!! I love Zippy's with all my heart and my go to will always be the chili chicken plate you just can't beat it-Zippy's has a bucket of chili for a reason! Just too good! For someone whose never tried Zippy's before, def consider opting for zip pac deluxe-has a little bit of everything- spam, Teri beef, fried fish, Mac salad, rice, and of course the chili and chicken! The best! My partner who never had Zippy's before said it was his favorite thing he ate in Hawaii!! side note though the bathrooms here (at the time we visited) was gross so maybe go bathroom somewhere else if you need to go...

Fried Noodle Platter
Anthony N.

This place is nostalgic to me and i loved every moment of it. The food tasted almost as when i first had it, but it has gone slightly down. I really enjoyed the fried chicken doe. My mom has been hounding me to get her the same chicken as we had back then, when she finaly got it, she was so satisfied.

His name is Oscar,
Christopher K.

His name is Oscar, idk if he was having a bad day or something but he was by far the worst zippys employee I have ever dealt with, he was very rude, body language like he didn't want to be there, sighing when we'd ask a question or anything. Constantly yawning, threw our receipt at us. Just overall a bad experience. No aloha at all

This little gem is in the heart of Waikiki. Honestly I just randomly stumbled upon it, and thought…read moreto myself why not? I love trying new things so let's go ahead and give it a try. I know what you're thinking, grilled cheese ? Seriously ? Out of the food in Hawaii this is one thing you choose to try for dinner ? And I would say yes every time. This grilled cheese has a special place in my food palette. I have not found another grilled cheese anywhere else in all the places I have been at that replicates this delicious flavor and taste. It was so good that I end up coming back for 4 days straight my stay in Hawaii ! I had the following below: *PATTY - 5/5 - It is the best grilled cheese I have ever had in my life ! It has a nice tasty beef patty, 4 cheeses (Cheddar, Mozzarella, Provolone, American) Caramelized onions, Bacon and Aioli sauce ! It was boasting with flavor ! Bread was soft, cheeses were boasting with flavor, aioli sauce was amazing. I really wish i paired this with their tomato dip ! I can only imagine how much this would've complimented the grilled cheese. The service was exceptional ! The establishment is a small so be sure to eat this on the go or they have small tables set up if you'd like to eat there !

A bit underwhelming…read more Hubby and I arrived on a Monday morning. No wait. The shop is small with only about 4 tables. I would normally say take it to the beach and eat since you're in Waikiki, but this gets messyyyy so I feel it's better to eat there if you can snatch a table. We ordered the aloha patty melt. It was $15.50 which I think is on the pricier side. The sandwich comes packed with cheese which I love, but I was expecting the patty to be an actual patty, and not just ground beef. The sandwich was falling apart and very hard to eat. It was too greasy as well. You could eat with or without the spicy aioli sauce. Sandwiches were made fresh to order and might be good for a quick late night eat or munchies but it's a one timer for me.

He really stood out. As for the burgers we got two #8s with two sides of small fries and we did a good job getting the small sides because the fries are pretty thick. The burger itself was pretty good but very very messy because of all the sauce which is not a bad thing! Just be sure to pack some wet wipes in your bags but if not you need to ask for the key to the restroom upstairs to wash. The fries are well seasoned with salt and pepper but nothing else. One thing I didn't really like is that they charge 50 cents for ranch and you can hear them squeezing the bottle of ranch into a little container, it tasted very similar to hidden valley so it might be that. Normally i feel like places charge for ranch when it is house made and actually good.

I really love Rainbow Drive-In, such an Iconic Spot since 1961, I remember during my daughter's…read morecollege day, when she is back for visit and before she leaves, this spot was one of her special request. Of course when she is back to visit every year, she still request to stop at Rainbow! Her favorites is the breakfast plates, mixed plate especially BBQ beef and boneless chicken with gravy & for me I LOVE the boneless chicken, gravy all over but I need mines on the side along with the mac salad and a slushie float. I used to work at the district office and we were housed at Hawaii School for Deaf & Blind, so close to Rainbow, when I would visit once a month, a treat to myself, such comfort food! I sure miss those Rainbow Drive-In days with my daughter and for my lunch break! Lets talk about the breakfast fried rice special, lately I've been stopping here every weekend to pick up a plate of fried rice ( available til sold out) & from experience-they do sell out, the fried rice plate is only $9.95. This is the best fried rice ever, my opinion and always enough for me and hubby! The fried rice comes Portuguese sausage, chopped veggies ( celery & onions) and flavored nicely with choice of 2 eggs that covers the rice completely. I always get soft scrambled. I love the finishing touches of the green onions. yums! The rice is perfect hits every time & rice is not watery. Chef's kiss to the staff who made this fried rice. The line and parking lot can get crazy but the staff works hard to get the line moving fast, * there's a separate window for phone and on-line orders. I am so glad I live close by to this Gem. My go to for breakfast and plate lunches!! I think it is time for a boneless chicken plate lunch fix. I also like the lunch box that your plates comes in, paper plate and in a box, nostalgic & better than the flimsy paper take out boxes!

Oh Rainbows, what happened to your food? I know it's been a while, so I understand the increase in…read moreprices. I like that some of the old specials are now permanently on the menu (even though they still sell out). But the quality needs to remain. I always order a mix plate and egg salad sandwich. Even if I order 10 plates, those 2 items will always be in my order. So I can confidently say that I'm sad that they are not the same as before. My recent mix plate (with gravy for nearly $17) had just one tiny fish and the chicken was pink inside! Also needs little more gravy. The egg salad sandwich (for nearly $7) had dry and thick bread. I admit, most times the bread is dry and I always question why I keep ordering it. I always wonder if I'm the only one to order since it seems like the bread dries out before being used. But now it seems like the bread is homemade and handcut (different thickness). On the plus side, the egg salad was tastier than I remember! We also ordered tater tots and chili, which were both great! Did the parking stalls get more narrow? Just kidding, I know they were always rather small.
