Kevin W.

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
Joshua D.

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

Dang the sprite tasted like it was warm and dirty lines. K so my order was called I said can I also get my saimin(?) he said what, I repeated I had saimin/tuna fish. He no. But like said wait checked my receipt they charged me the ma fish sandwich at $6.75 and said you like order one saimin, No....... K all the whistle I am waiting I no feel good and all I wanted to get my saimin wonton min and go home. Wait I kinda pissed cause now I gotta cook and I Neva like cause I no feel good. The sandwich tastes like a plastic chopping board. I since they changed owners I really haven't gone I feel good not as good as before but try different things to see if a different out comes happens but local. I didn't care of the cost of it would save me from cooking and driving again when I do not feel good. Maybe your cashiers should repeat the order just to make sure the customer get what they ordered and clean out the hoses for your soda machines. I worked in fast food lots of standards and regulations. Not going here again. Said cause not to many places like this now.

Also, the people truly resonate the aloha spirit. However, this morning's visit was very disappointing. We brought our family from Guam to try this place and experience authentic Hawaiian cuisine. But at the very beginning of the visit it was already turned sour. It was packed and there were tons of people waiting outside; therefore, my parents who were elderly sat outside to wait for our table. The lobby was packed with people waiting-understandable coz the place is popular. As people get seated, the waiting area has more vacant seat and I wanted my parents to come in. However, the hostess raised her voice and said demandingly to shut the door. I told her I'm letting my parents in. She just kept on saying to shut the door. I repeated myself that I'm making my parents come in and wait inside rather than baking outside the entrance. She just kept on mumbling until my parents sat with me at the waiting area. I tried to explain to her that I was not trying to keep the door open, I was waiting for my parents to get in. They're old so they move slow. She did not apologize she just kept saying the door needs to be closed. THIS IS TRULY DISAPPOINTING AND DISRESPECTFUL! The aloha spirit was not there. In addition, the whole experience was so sour that my family did not enjoy the food. We did not finish, we packed the food but was not able to eat them. It went to the trash! I'm hoping that a better host can help bring back the ALOHA!

Also bring cash as that's the only form of payment accepted. For those who are familiar with House of Prime Rib in San Francisco. House of Prime Rib needs to take a lesson from Ray's! Ray's was tender, moist, and most importantly thoroughly seasoned. I ate it as is with no au jus or horseradish and was able to taste the seasoning from the edges all the way to the eye. Just go and enjoy! By the way his names not Ray.

It's like being in your grampa's old house in Kalihi! But we…read morereally ARE in Kalihi! Parking: there's only curbside meter parking.Unless ur cousin said u can park @ they're house! First come first served : we waited outside cuz they were getting slammed by workers picking up their orders. We wanted to dine in to experience that "homey " feel! I think we waited for about 20 minutes.No sign in sheet or waitstaff to assist u. Ha ha ! Jus peek through da dirty windows to see if get one empty table! Wait staff cleared the table immediately and gave us water. Menus: No moa menus!!! It's all on da wall! On whiteboards or restaurant boards. Or u go on instagram b4 u go! Unfortunately,we were told da sad news dat no moa their famous prime rib & king crab legs because the oven is broken!!! So,waiter Unko suggested "T-bone" hungry husband was ready to leave!!! I Neva like give up ! So,we went with dat! We're gonna share it I told him.(cuz I was planning on walking around da corner to da Filipino bakery "Nanding's afta lunch!!! Ambience:okaaay... let's get dis straight, dis is NOT one"typical diner". Need I remind you,dis is Kalihi!!! Simple,OLD & the word "ambience " doesn't exist here. Furniture no match,curtains get dust & da AC was broken!!! Maybe some of da dust stay in ur food!!! But I write dis review in pure respect & gratitude for the owners & employees!!! While waiting for our kau kau, one will notice the basket full of condiments from maybe five to ten years ago!!! The bottles were very old and dat scared me to death !!! Even if da steak needed seasoning, I neva like use da "A1" or da "Worcestershire sauce "!!! Don't u dare touch dat !!! Scary brah!!! Food: T-bone steak with two scoops white rice & very mayonnaisey Mac salad. We got jipped on one side of da steak cuz it was fo'real small! The texture & the flavor of the steak was great! Did u know that it is flame broiled on a grill top ? Yup das why ono! Let's wrap it up: literally,let's take it to go. Hungry husband was all sweaty and uncomfortable. There's people waiting outside for a table . They don't serve desserts so,it's time to go ! Well Fellow Yelpers,u can decide if you like go or not but they didn't have the prime rib & crab legs ,Air Conditioner or da Rib Eye . A'ole!!! It's gonna be a while b4 dey get their oven repaired or replaced . I wish them luck and happiness ! It's not easy to own a business in Hawaii! Aloha

Side Street Inn is one of those places we absolutely love returning to! Fantastic local food, enormous family-style portions, a relaxed atmosphere, and wonderful hospitality. Come hungry, bring friends, and prepare to take home leftovers! The Details: Another excellent dinner at Side Street Inn's original location near Ala Moana! If you're looking for authentic local-style Hawaiian comfort food, this place is an absolute gem! Forget fancy white tablecloths and elaborate presentations. This is where local families and groups of friends gather around tables overflowing with delicious food, share stories, laugh, and enjoy each other's company. That's precisely what makes it special! My wife and I stopped in tonight knowing full well we'd be hopelessly outnumbered by the sheer quantity of food we'd order. But that was intentional! We love their food, and the leftovers reheat beautifully. Dinner tonight, lunch tomorrow! What's not to love? Tonight's lineup included three fantastic dishes: 1. Hawaiian Pan-Fried Pork Chops: A mountain of beautifully seasoned, golden-brown pork chops, fried to perfection and piled high on a platter. Old-school local comfort food at its finest! 2. Sizzling Boneless Kalbi Short Ribs: Tender, flavorful Korean-style marinated short ribs arriving on a sizzling cast-iron platter with kimchi. The aroma alone makes your mouth water! Absolutely delicious! 3. Lup Cheong Fried Rice: Oh, my goodness! Their signature fried rice is already fantastic, but adding sweet and savory Chinese sausage takes it to another level! Loaded with char siu, Portuguese sausage, bacon, vegetables, and lup cheong, this enormous platter is practically a meal unto itself. And when I say enormous, I mean ENORMOUS! As wonderful as the food was, I especially want to recognize our server, Celeste What an absolute delight! We learned she's also a high school teacher, and her personality was every bit as memorable as our meal. Vibrant, energetic, full of spunk, and blessed with a terrific sense of humor, she kept us laughing throughout dinner. We got along famously! And I made her groan more than once as she endured my dad jokes...! Celeste checked on us frequently without being intrusive, making sure we had everything we needed. Drinks, napkins, dipping sauces, you name it! That kind of attentive, personable service turns a great dinner into a memorable evening. Celeste, thank you for taking such wonderful care of us! You were spectacular! One thing worth emphasizing is that Side Street Inn is best enjoyed family-style. Look around and you'll see large families and groups of friends sharing some of Oahu's finest local cuisine. My advice? Bring a group, order several dishes, put everything in the middle of the table, and dig in! If you're dining as a couple like we did, embrace the inevitable leftovers. Trust me, you won't regret it! Side Street Inn remains one of our favorite places to eat on Oahu. Outstanding local food, enormous portions, wonderful people, and an atmosphere that captures the spirit of gathering around a table with family and friends. We'll absolutely be back! Mahalo, Side Street Inn, and a special mahalo to Celeste for another terrific evening!

Been going to side Street Inn since it was only one single side street inn and chef Colin was in the kitchen on the table at the dishwashing station, he did everything.
