    Zippy's on the Nimitz is my favorite spot to get food to go for my flight home. Little crackers and a couple of cookies on Southwest isn't enough to hold me on the flight home. This review is more of a price update than refreshing my last review. I grabbed a spaghetti and garlic bread meal to eat on the flight home. It was good as usual. Staff was nice, ordered my food, got out and to the airport early. If you have time or not a lot of time, this location is on the way to the airport on the Nimitz. A quick 10 to 15 minutes and you'll have yummy food to eat on the plane. Lots of choices to choose from so plan ahead.

    Korean Fried Chicken Platter mini

    Always a must when we arrive in Oahu after leaving the airport. The local diner to check out if you wanna try something different and a local favorite. It's always a comfort of home feel when you dine at this place. I get the korean fried chicken mini plate (because i cant eat like i used to anymore) but its just the right amount of food for me. The favorite of my family is the oxtail soup and the zip pac with chili. Try it. The service was good and the part that got us this trip was the extension of seating we got For our party. The booths dont look big enough for our party but auntie made sure to remove the partition of the booth so we can sit with together with our family.

    Chicken Trio

    Really glad we came here. It's hard to describe the food in one or two words if you haven't been Zippy's. As someone from Florida, if I could sum it up in a couple of words is comfort food. We got the triple chicken, the Zip Pac and oxtail tail soup, along with a side of Portuguese sausage. I think the triple chicken was the best one of the bunch but you can't go wrong with anything here. It's also worth trying desert too. The atmosphere has a sort of diner vibe that's really cool and laid back. Our server was helpful and friendly. I would definitely repeat!

    It wasn't exactly lunchtime, but I didn't feel like eating an omelette. I go to this location quite frequently there are a lot of things that I could eat, but Zippys especially this location is my favorite go to because of the staff.... It's so important because my parents really like the women that work in the mornings... Tess, Marianne, Wendy, and Arlene. These ladies are so accommodating, and they're so good at their job... The veggie tofu burger is really my favorite item. It is as good as the rest of the Burgers. I've had a chance to try most all the burgers at one point until my diet changed ... lol. I like the veggie- tofu burger most cause it's not heavy. When you get a chance to go to this location, make sure you're there between 10 to about 1 PM. That way you can get help by one of the four waitresses that I mentioned. I do recommend a lot more dishes that I've eaten there as you can see the post with a lot of photographs but I really like the veggie tofu burger. It's absolutely agree midday lunch, brunch type of item. Especially when you eat indoors for this location, it's really nice it might have a bit of a chill for some people so maybe bringing a small longsleeve jacket or some thing but other than that it's really nice location for a sit down in door restaurant ...

    They have turkey packages. Front is the prices. Back is the details of what is included.

    Came here once we landed in Hawaii. They had two sides for dinning. One side is more of a dinner and the other side it like a bakery and dinning. There was so much to order and to try out. They have rice dishes, chili, noodles and breakfast items. I chose the surf platter that had chilli, rice, spam, teriyaki chicken and fried chicken. Everything was delicious and amazing. I was so full for the night. I and interested in going back to try out their noodle plates.

    After seeing an amazing live performance at TAG, we walked over to Zippy's for an early dinner. It wasn't too busy so we were able to get a table right away. It had started raining and the air was a bit chilly so I had my favorite Won Ton Min, with sriracha sauce. Hit the spot! Our server, Theresa, was a class act, fun, efficient and very accommodating. Give this woman a raise!!

    Zippy's Chili Chicken Mix Plate

    Nice greeting. Friendly staff. We had the Zippy's Chili Chicken Mix Plate , Beef Stew Plate and Chili Korean Chicken Plate. Super Ono!

    About a 2-2.5: Think of Zippy's as like an IHOP of Hawaii - they offer an extensive menu of breakfast, burgers, sandwiches, noodles, soups, daily plates, and bakery items. We came here for an early dinner, and we tried: +the Hamburger Steak daily plate - this came with a hamburger patty that was topped with grilled onions and brown gravy; served with two scoops of rice and a mac salad; the hamburger steak was actually juicy, savory, and yummy, especially with the generous pour of the gravy +the Chili & Chicken Mixed Plate - this came with 2 pieces of fried chicken thighs and chili; usually the chili is served on a side of rice, but I substituted it for fries; the chicken was over-fried and wasn't seasoned well; the chili itself is slightly sweeter, and the taste was just mediocre; I was disappointed that they forgot the mac salad, but after sampling it from the Hamburger Steak plate, I'm glad it was not included as it had a slight off taste to it I tried the Orange Bang, which was their version of an orange creamsicle/orange float - it was okay, but I did like the fact that they serve beverages in a larger cup. Service was a little slow, but friendly; I was surprised at the space of the restaurant, as it was larger than what it seemed from the outside. There is a small lot to park your car in front of the restaurant. +avoid the chili and the mac salad +slow service +parking available in lot

    We decided to come here right after our flight of course, and it was pretty good. The fried noodles were good. Everything was pretty good besides the chili moco. The chili moco was good but it wasn't as good as it usually is. The patty was burnt with no taste... The service was great. The wait time was non-existent and the parking was easy. Ambiance is casual as usual.

    Special request- lettuce instead of a bun
    Jeanette E.

    Took a wrong turn and ended up here. It was pretty random, but we figured we could find something to eat with very little time left. I didn't see any salad on the menu. I would suggest that they put that on the menu. Ordered the burger and asked for a "lettuce wrap " instead of a bun/bread. The cashier looked at me like I was from Mars.... She called another cashier over to ask for help. So basically instead of a bun, I just wanted lettuce. I was told the lettuce was pre cut and small so they might not be able to do it. I asked if I could just have the lettuce and I would eat it like a salad. She said they would figure it out. To my surprise, they were able to make a lettuce wrap. It looked cute and was probably the 1st time they got this kind of request. Or at least that's how it seemed. The cheese was gross so I didn't eat it.

Why 2 potato thingys? Cause the chicken is the star, it's all good. Only drawback is the parking situation. But the ppl in the lot seem to know the situation and are very polite. I tend to order on the way there and go through the drive through to avoid parking. This is for the Kalihi shop. Super nice employees, and restrooms available.

    Confession time, we were introduced to Jollibee's at a kids birthday party. Before that, never…read morereally thought twice about going to Jollibee. The first time we went to the drive through, we ordered the 2 piece Chicken joy meal, which includes 2 pieces of chicken, a side, a drink, and a fruit pie. Hubs wanted the spicy, and I opted for the spicy chicken sandwich. We got home, and his face fell flat because they did not give him the spicy chicken. They also did not give him the fruit pie. Next visit, I ordered the Chicken joy meal, 1-2pcs regular, and 1-2pcs spicy with mash potato and cole slaw. We got what we ordered, yeah! So far a 50/50 chance of a successful order. Fast forward a week to hitting up Jollibee on a Sunday. I'm not sure if it was because it was the weekend, or if we got there when they just opened, but ordered the Chicken joy meal x2, one spicy one regular. Hubs wanted their cole slaw, the cashier said there wasn't any available. Got to the window, and my husband says, did you get the pie included? We wanted 2 ube. She gives us the total and it was $26.07. I looked at him funny, because the meal is $13. There should've been much more for the taxes. Hubs asks about the pies and the cashier says, "ok, that will be $7". Hubs had no time for this, and asked for the manager because there was some communication issues, as the pie is included in the meal deal. The manager comes in, fixes the order (cashier input it as a 2 piece meal--no joy in that). They ask us to pull forward to wait for our order. The line started gettting longer, and more people were waiting for their orders in the parking lot. After a painful 10 minute wait, I hopped out of the truck and headed to the counter. One of their workers was running a bag out, so I asked if that was ours, and she said no. Headed to the counter and handed the cashier my receipt, and told her we have been waiting for nearly 10 minutes. She checked the bag on the counter and apologized because they were waiting for the gravy. (insert head blown emoji). I checked for the pies, and headed out to hubs. I should've checked the chicken, because they failed to give the spicy one. gah! Maybe we have to go in the store to get the order right? The chicken is delicious, the ube pie is amazing. It's the service at this drive through that has got me less than joyful. But I am a glutton for punishment because I will probably go back because it is that good.

Everything was very nice and fresh, fries were hot and crispy nothing really negative to say...just that it was boring for me personally and yes the order came rather fast making me think it was already made and kept warm didn't bother me the choices was very minimal and no other added flavors like hot and spicy or sauce options during this hot summer was made even on this National Fried Chicken Day.
