I tried the Friday Special for the month of February. It was the Hawaiian Plate and it was massive. Beef Stew, Kalua Pig, Lau Lau, a scoop of mac salad, and two scoops of rice. There is one day this month to order and if you do...come hungry. At $20, it is a satisfying meal. I could not finish the mac salad...not my fav side dish as it is. read more

So it's been quite a few years since I e been to this Zippy's, or any Zippy's as a matter of fact but since I know Joe K has never been to a Zippy's and we wanted a quick and nearby place lunch, Zippy's we went. I'd seen some ads on the limited time "Wrecking Crew" pac to help promote the movie so was all in on that. The other thing I was craving was chicken katsu so also got a Chicken Katsu plate. Many decades ago this location was one of the best fast food katsu plates around. Sad to say that's long been the case. The W.C. pac was ok, the thing I liked most about it was that it came with chili...another thing I've always enjoyed from Zippy's. The rest of the plate was a pile of rice with furikake, a breaded piece of fish that I'd never heard of before (hoki), a piece of fried chicken, and four pieces of Portuguese sausage, and of course a scoop of mac salad for good measure. All in all it was pretty mediocre but it did hit the spot. Will I be rushing back to eat here again? Probably not, unless it's for some Naples and Flaky Donuts. Those mofos are da BOMB! read more

Zippy's is a Hawaii institution. I have lived in Hawaii for 19 years and this was my first experience having Zippy's. Mostly because I live on Kauai where there isn't one. I always intended to eat here when visiting Oahu ...just something else always came. So...long over due. Busy as heck and only one person taking orders. And of course there was a problem with the customers before us. Ugh. Aunty at the register took it in stride and even helped the trouble makers carry their food to the car. Strange though...abandoning one's post with a HUGE line of hungry (equals grumpy) people. The take out area is huge and soul less which is fine for what it is. This area also has a Napoleon Bakery. We ordered a special "Wrecking Crew" movie tie in plate and a Chicken Katsu plate. The former included a piece of fried chicken, fried fish, Portuguese sausage, chili, Mac salad, and furikake rice. Everything super tasty. The katsu had Mac and 2 scoops rice. Good but nothing special. read more

Visited the take out counter service on Christmas Day. Gotta give credit to the local staple for being open and serving only onolicious food! Friendliest service from Ramona at the order window! She greeted me with a cheery "Merry Christmas!", took my order and repeated it back to me, was quick, friendly and professional! Made my morning! Ordered the turkey plate (a special with all the traditional fixings), a fried chix plate and a regular chili bowl! Order was accurate, food temp was hot and tasted onolicious! Mahalo Zippy's Vineyard for the always quick, accurate and friendly service! Shout out to Ramona! You made me smile and made my day! read more

Had a craving for some Zippy's chili and their Saimin so I found the closest location to my daughter's house. It's an easy to find and accessible location on the corner with a ton of parking. It's a large well lit location. I love the digital boards that show you the status of your order. I also love the locker system they have. The service was quick and friendly and I was in out in no time. read more

Stopped here before our flight back to the mainland. They are one of many Zippys that are open at 5am. We ordered chilli bowl with rice and chilli bowl,fried chicken and chillli with rice. Both were so good. We enjoyed it while waiting for our flight fo board. read more

Thank you, Ramona, for making our day, by taking our order, smiling and talking story with us. We left with good food, too, although we wished the Korean chicken in our chili/Korean chicken plate could have been made to order. We could tell it was fried much earlier, so not crunchy and little dry. read more

10-4-25 Saturday nite the line was waiting outside the door for the restaurant. Not many places were open late so we chose here as it was on the way home and Sweetie requested noodles and sushi. Since one party before us signed up with 20 people we decided to do the take out order window to the left. We ordered the Ohana Pack to feed 6 of us but by the time we got to Sweetie's house Bud had already fallen asleep & her dad was ready for bed after he congratulated her for their win at a competition. More food for 4 of us- the Korean fried chicken and fried noodles were excellent. It also came with tossed salad and chili. The parking lot was pretty full and that late at night at this location there were many homeless men lying on the sidewalk at the parking entrance. Some began howling and making it the perfect scenario for fright night. Once our order was ready, time to Hele On, quickly. We hastened to jump in the car without hesitation and be on our way. read more

Service is excellent at this Zippy. Safer area and lots of parking. Fried chicken and Korean fried chicken platters are our favorites. Oxtail soup can be better. Please, skim the fat from the surface of the soup and go less on the peanuts but more on the greens. Most people will experience stomachaches after consumption if the grease is not skimmed from the soup. Consider using the big Chinese mustard rather than pea tips or young green mustards. Fresh cilantro plays a huge role in presentation and taste. read more

Zippy's is always the to go place if you are looking for something that's a causal dinning eat. Even the food is not that good, but I will still give it a 4 star because the spacious spaces and the short wait for food. Grilled salmon w/ sweet corn 2.5/5 The salmon is overcooked with lack of flavor. If you are looking for something that's "healthy", sure; but I won't get it again just because it has no taste. Spaghetti w/ meat sauce 3/5 My always to go food if I am craving for spaghetti but don't want to go to actual pasta restaurants. The portion is pretty decent for such an affordable price, but the taste can't be compare to regular pasta restaurants. Korean fried chicken salad 5/5 One of the must order, local favor dishes. The fried chicken is fried perfectly that's not overcooked, but crispy and flavorful. It has this sweet but savory taste that can't be found in other fried chicken favor. read more

My first time at a Zippy's and honestly was pleasantly surprised with the food. The food is really tasty, comes out warm and fast. We ordered the chicken trio and the zip combo. They cook their chicken super crispy and I was also really impressed by the fish that came in mine! Service is friendly and fast, but the location could really use a clean up. It's quite dirty inside so I'd suggest taking your food to go! read more

Zipping in... Really needed to stop by to pick up dinner and something sweet and though that Zippy's would be the perfect place to do both as they certainly do have just about everything you can imagine and all in one spot does make it convenient though parking in the back is quite small and can imagine it could fill up during peak hours but had no idea that this location had a drive through pick up which is quite bougie and convenient lol! Love the vibe as I walked in to the take out section is nice and spacious the staff here is nice as the line started to form they quickly asked for additional check out so that I didn't have to wait long to put in my order. Lots to choose from even special are always offered in all locations the simple fried chicken is the classic favorite besides their simian which they do separate the soup for you if you choose but don't forget to put in your phone number for your rewards as they didn't ask as I rushed to order and forgot myself but got my order in a timely manner. Thank you! read more

This was our first stop to eat at when we landed in Honolulu because it's nostalgic and it never disappoints when it comes to mixed plate lunches. This location has both the outside area where you can walk up to order your food at the window for take out with limited tables , but around the corner of the building is the indoor restaurant that is spacious with plenty of seating and offers more menu options. We ended up dining outside as we were there to eat and head over to the hotel right after. The Zip Pac Deluxe is one of our go-tos because it has a little bit of everything. We also got the the Chicken Trio and Chicken Katsu. My favorite was the crispy fried chicken, so Ono! We will always be a fan of Zippy's because their food is always consistent, affordable, and portions are generous! read more

We've heard of Zippy's for decades and we're determined to experience it while we were here. What a charming local hangout with a casual vibe... we could sit anywhere and the staff were kind and helpful. Our boys went to town trying this and that and what a way to start our adventures for the day ahead! Food very tasty and the prices reasonable. Another check off the bucket list! read more

Zippy's I liken to a Denny's or Norms. It definitely has the diner feel. I ordered the oxtail soup and the SO got the chili. I heard of the amazing oxtail soup but it actually fell short of expectations. I had had this at other Hawaiian establishmens in Hawaii and in the US and it was way better. I was a little disappointed but when in a pinch and for late night hours, I can see where Zippy's would fit the bill. Next time I would not go with oxtail soup. read more

Yeah, I mean, no surprises here. Just your classic Next Stop Zippy's restaurant. Although, since I've moved to Cali, menu prices have been slowly creeping upwards with no end in sight. Chili korean chicken is close to $20 now holy damn campbell. But still so friggin good and nostalgic, I'm always gonna keep coming back. For some reason, AC was blasting ice cold. Not sure why since the place was not full at all and I'm sure it's expensive to keep the lights on. But service was great, mamasan was funny on this late night dinner hour. Fear not. Crackheads be surrounding the perimeter of this place. Just like how I remember it! Ah da memoreeeez.... They harmless though. read more

Made a phone order. Upon arrival, the workers were really busy but, when the worker saw me at the counter, quickly attended to me. The food was ready early than expected. Worker was polite.

Late dinner, my niece's flight was delayed. Always a must-stop at Zippy's when visiting the island. It just brings back childhood memories. Clean dining area. Service is always so warm and welcoming.

Used the online app to order my breakfast and the option to pickup at the drive thru window. ZIPPY's offers a variety of breakfast options as well as bakery and regular island meals and items. Food quality is great with the island flair that Zippy's is known for. Ramona at the drive thru window is a real gem. With a big smile and a twinkle in her eye, she got my order ready super fast!!! I felt like I was talking with a real Aunty who loves to help people and show her love. read more

We took a while to order because the menu has changed and we were heavily debating on what to get because of the prices as well. The service was quick, we waited maybe 2 minutes to be seated and it was quite busy, we came around lunch time as well. Though, it was busy, we were serviced pretty quickly and I can appreciate that very much. It was during the thunderstorm weather as well, so something hot was definitely called for. We ordered Ox Tail Soup, a side of French fries and a chili & chicken mixed mini plate. Ox Tail was about $30 (me and my mother split it *we just asked for an extra bowl) we also asked for extra ginger! And it was delicious as per usual. A side of French Fries is 4.99 The mini Chili & Chicken Plate is 12.85 The bill came to be about $53, which wasn't too bad, I guess. We ate everything and everything was delicious and fresh so I can't complain. Thank you Zippy's Vineyard and to our server who was very patient with us because we were a bit indecisive on what to get. The ambiance is casual. I'd recommend this place. There is a lock on the bathroom doors and I get it, it's town. So don't forget to get the code from your waitress. read more

ZIPPY dee doo dah... After a long 6 hours flight, this was my first stop to get something in my stomach. I want to say it's the Dennys of Hawaii but more varieties of mix Asian and Island food. It looks pretty big as I walked in. I took a quick look around, I've noticed everyone enjoying the food or doing small talk. The hostess asked how many and before I knew it we were sitting down in the table. I felt embarrassed about the luggage but she said it was totally fine. The waitress came right away and gave us water. The menu was long and I asked her what is the favorite thing to get here. She replied "loco moco", I'm like "I'll do that". Food didn't take long at all. It was delicious, different from Cali for sure. All in all, food was great, service friendly and attentive. Put this on your list, you're in Hawaii :) read more

The food wasn't good. The meats were tough and overcooked. I got a zip pac for someone leaving that day. The order doesn't take long but for some reason it was a long wait and there weren't many people waiting. So that was strange. Could possibly be an order prior to mine that they were getting ready. The place is filled with homeless outside so it was a little dirty. The prices have sky rocketed. I think this was $17 for a spam, a chicken and some meat. No furikake on the rice and it was mainly rice. It's just wow. Not a choice that I will come back for in a long while. Sorry, no photos read more

Loco moco: Im not from Hawaii and this is my only time trying zippys. This was an amazing meal and just what I needed that day!! Its weird to say this was one of my highlights during my trip in Hawaii. Incredibly savory dish, amazing sauce, sunnyside egg, hamburger patty, rice and even a side of macaroni!! I do wish I had tried more loco moco in hawaii but I am so glad my few times with loco moco was here Loco mocco: enough praise. Sauce was a little too much, made the rice soupy. Thats it Extra Water costed 65cents Located in a building with Napoleons bakery I dont give 5 stars easily but this was a 5/5 read more

I came with friends to have lunch at Zippy's Vineyard because it's right across street from Foster Botanical Garden. Everyone seemed to like the food. Me on the other hand, I didn't care for the curry flavor. It's kind of weak to my palate. But I knew how local curry tasted like. We went after a lunch rush during midweek. We waited a little bit to find an open parking spot. The building was pretty big as I never expected a takeout counter on the left connecting the dine-in restaurant on the right. We were seated pretty quick. The temperature at the restaurant was set at a comfortable level. The waitress sat us near the window, but not by the window. I didn't mind where it might be, because I was starving. I noticed the monthly specials and weekly specials on the menu. I think I need to come back to try those seasonal dishes. read more

A classic must-visit everytime I come to Hawaii. Their chicken katsu is a favorite of mine, but I also love coming here for breakfast. It's a casual dine-in spot with order-at-the-counter service, or even a great takeout option for something quick to go. Good spot. read more

I went to Zippy's and started off having a nice time. My family and I have been coming here for many years. We chose to dine in and the staff at the front was friendly and welcoming. Things changed when I went to the restroom and saw there was no soap. An employee was in there, so I asked if he could refill it. He told me someone would take care of it later, then washed his hands with only water and headed straight to the kitchen. I saw him at the drink station touching equipment while making himself a drink. I asked another staff member to refill the soap, but nothing was done. It left me feeling uncomfortable and I lost my appetite. It also made me question whether proper procedures are being followed in the kitchen. This was disappointing for a place my family has trusted for so long. read more

Super disappointed. I feel over the years Zippy's (across the ʻaina) has slowly gone down hill. Korean chicken, consistently cold and soggy- tasteless hamburger steak etc...no shakes at the takeout! When I asked why, the employee said because they are too lazy to make it, and scoop ice cream. Plus they up the prices but lowered the quality. Zippys was the place to go, now it's just disappointing. I feel bad because this was a place all us locals were proud of..now not so much. read more

I ate at the non-dining room area. The hamburger deluxe I got was delicious. However, the bottom bun started to break apart in the middle, but because I was given 2 or 3 napkins and I was able to wet my hands from the condensation on the side of the water cup, I was able to clean my hands enough after eating it. When sitting in one part of the restaurant, there was an unpleasant smell so I moved to an area that didn't smell, but the table I sat at wasn't clean so I dipped tissue into my undrunk cup of water and cleaned it. The tissue was dirty after cleaning it. There probably is a staff shortage which keeps them from being able to clean the tables to a certain degree. read more

We had a late night dinner. We ordered the mini chicken plate with french fries and a loco moco. The loco moco came with two eggs. I asked for it to be over easy and it was. The beef patty was thick and the gravy was tasty. No complaints about the fried chicken either. Their fried chicken is always good. It's just that sometimes they'll give you tiny pieces of thighs. This time both thighs were a decent size. The fries were hot and crispy. The mac salad was nice and creamy. I washed it down with my lilikoi drink. I either get the orange bang or lilikoi drink. I love them both equally. We got there sort of late, so not too many people were in there. We got fast service and the food came out fast. read more
