Zippy's Waipahu A fun stop for classic Hawaiʻi comfort food! We tried the chili & rice, Portuguese bean soup, curry katsu, cheeseburger, and mochi donuts. The curry katsu and chili were our favorites, and the mochi donuts were a fun treat. The atmosphere is very casual, local, and no-frills--definitely more of a neighborhood spot than a destination restaurant. Service was a little rough. They forgot the cheese on the cheeseburger, and the staff seemed annoyed when we asked for the cheese and a few sauces. It was also right in the middle of the lunch rush, so we're giving them some grace. Good local experience, solid comfort food, casual atmosphere, but service could use a little aloha. read more

Zippy's Waipahu - Breakfast! Monday May 4, 2026 - Diners Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

The food is good, especially if you're super hungry. We did the take out side in Ewa rather than tip for full service. The extra $6 saved can be used in the gas tank these days. The downside of takeout was no mashed potatoes are available and I couldn't order a side salad with my hamburger steak plate which I found odd. I made it clear I was willing to pay the $5.50 but she apologized and said sorry it's just not available. But nonetheless all 4 golfers were happy with their meals. And the ambiance is nice and cool as well as clean. read more

We came here for a light lunch. We shared a Korean fried chicken with chili plate and got an extra Mac salad. The chicken was surprisingly good. And there was plenty for the two of us. Well done Zippy's! read more

Stopped in around 9pm for my family from out of state to try. It was really good-I had the chicken katsu curry plate and it was just as good as always. Service was very friendly and fast and it was relaxing inside with only a couple of other people in there at the time. read more

Zippy's offers comfort food at its best. It is a place for locals to come back to and always crave for whenever locals are away from the islands. The OG plate for me is the Fried Chicken and Chili. The chicken pieces and portion size may have gotten smaller but the taste and quality is still high rate. And yes live everything else, the prices also went up. Love the service by Aunties. Always warm, welcoming Aloha! read more

Local break... Filled with all the plate lunch and comfort food that we all love is found at Zippy's their famous Chili (bean less for me) along with their fried chicken and saimin is what many come for but reason for those that do return my vary for me is a place that it provides that and so much more. Dine in service for those that just want to relax and enjoy the comfy booths but for me the fast food counter for a quick pick up and to just chill at my own pace. Today is the spaghetti plate that's $12.99 which has insanely has gotten much smaller and to call it regular looks what used to be the mini plate size. There was more sauce than pasta perhaps it's for the garlic bread to scoop up for those that are hungry but the plate itself was enough for me. Fundraising I do have at times from kids do keep my coming back along with their zipcoin program which already has earned me enough for a reward...now that's ono ;) Thank you! read more

I was craving double garnish fried noodles, and received a plate of regular noodles with NO CHAR SIU. Second time Waipahu made my order incorrectly within a few months, with former having NO follow up from Zippy's after sent experience via Contact Us. This time I am showing how lazy cooks are, even after I asked if this is double garnish, counter asked cook, and cook yelled stating YES without even looking. How can a DOUBLE GARNISH have no CHAR SIU WHATSOEVER, which shows poor customer service because no attempt was made to remedy the wrong order. read more

Power was out because the storm 3/13 2026 all over this the only zippy's was open in the area Try to make phone order recording since you have to walk in, so I walk in and there is maybe around 35 people waiting in the takeout area. Most of them said they waiting at least half an hour while the counter is full with online orders and they still making online orders instead of pausing the online until they clear up all the walk-in takeout poor management read more

Unacceptable service. I placed a phone order, and while the receipt was correct, I was given the wrong order. I had to drive back, wait 15 minutes before anyone helped me, then another 10 minutes for them to prepare the correct order. Zippy's Waipahu, please have your staff double-check orders before handing them out. Thank you for nothing. read more

Their garlic rib eye steak is so great, it's just that a little pricey. I always pass by after my night job at the airport.

Waited just 5 minutes, and my food is ready! The noise is so relaxing, and cool. I ordered the Korean Chicken Plate, and it was cooked properly, and seasoned properly! GREAT JOB ZIPPY'S WAIPAHU! read more

It usually is really good and I order almost everyday.. but I went this afternoon and it took 15 minutes extra to get my food and drink. Only had 1 person and she had her back to the counter the entire time.. it's really hard to have kids and what should've been an on and out took a while. Oh well thank you so much.. read more

I came to Zippys because folks had recommended it however sadly I wished I had saved my money and ZIPPED past Zippys. I ordered the Korean fried chicken and I expected crispy, hot chicken. Instead I got chunks of what looked like day old soggy chicken that lacked flavor. It came with rice that was bland and mac salad, which I could only eat one bite of as it was full of onions. Also got rice & chili - it was more rice than chili and was extremely dry. I also got a brownie however it was dry and tasted like it had been sitting up there for a few days. The lilikoi I received was light and tasted like water to which I had to go back and ask the guy to please taste the lilikoi and give me his feedback to which he said "taste like it's watered down" although he said he just changed the syrup. He was kind enough to fix it however at this point I was just frustrated as if I had gone through the drive thru I would have been stuck with this. Even after fixing it, I can say I've had better. So to all of those who recommended Zippys, y'all fired! read more

Dinner in Waipahu, Oahu, Hawaii... My aunty needed dinner. My cousins suggested Zippy's because it's near to their house, and they hadn't had any of the local fast food recently. Okay! I just followed GPS and found Zippy's next to Don Quijote. The traffic pattern is simple - one way in and one way out and around the building. The free parking is all along the perimeter of the restaurant. Inside, the clean, bright environment seems like it was renovated because it had a modern portal that keeps phone orders warm. The layout was straightforward: dining-in on the left, takeout counter on the right, and bakery in-between the two. I got one of the Specials of the Day: Furikake Miso Salmon Salad. The warm salmon was delicious with a slightly crisp, flavorful outer layer on the moist, tender fish filet. The salad was made from fresh tomatoes, greens, and cucumber slices! My cousins and aunty got beef stew with rice, Teri burger with fries, and chili frank plate. Everyone was happy... especially since service was quick and courteous! read more

Ordered an online order, a very convenient and fast process! Got the zip pac, beef stew, and meat loaf with the gravy separate. Everything was amazing except for the gravy. I think they gave me the poultry gravy instead. I didn't mind until I tasted the poultry gravy. The gravy was saltier than usual. It was a good thing I asked for the gravy to be separated. read more

We walked in, scanned rhe QR code as prompted, and waited to be seated. The place was moderately empty, yet we felt like ghosts.. So we waited another 10 min before a waitress said someone will help you in a bit. Another 10 min go by (same same) we figured screw that, we left! read more

Food was 10/10; the staff though missed the point of being in customer service. Just smile, and say "thanks for coming". I literally crossed 3 employees and not one faked smile or did a genuine smile. It's like their employees just hate their jobs and don't want to leave a very in person, customer service oriented job. read more

Excellent service and great food!!! The ox tail soup was delicious!!! My husband had the fried chicken and he loved it!!! The waitress had a great attitude and was very polite read more

Zippy's is one of those places that you'll always go back to no matter the sky rocketed prices and mediocre food. The prices are unreal, nearly $5 for a apple napple...are you kidding me? Nope, it is pricey! Ordered the zip pac and it was $20+ some change. The chicken doesn't taste the same. Was just okay. It's just really sad to see how it's not even worth it anymore. What you pay and what you get..it is sad. My cousin ordered the club sandwich and brahhh the bread was papa'a. The chef tried to hide um in the middle of the sandwich, hello we can still see um. We told aunteh Evelyn but she just laughed. We laughed too cause dat was a joke, to serve something like that? And not do anything about it. 'Auwe is right. Zippy's Waipahu..come on can do better yea~~~ read more

Dear Zippy's, Just had your daily special roast pork that was noted in your app's menu description as having "thick slices". It was NOT thick. It's one thing to price it at $18, but it's another to give me less than you promised. In this time of economic crises, I am sick and tired of paying more and getting less. If you're going to charge me more, atleast give me what you used to give me before you raised your price! Otherwise, you are literally screwing me twice! I ain't no ho'! I need to take a break from you for awhile. It's not me, it's you. read more

I don't normally like to say negative things about an establishment but the service at Waipahu Zippys restaurant is really bad. It needs to improve or your customers are going elsewhere. The restaurant is almost empty and you are required to sign in and wait until the server is good and ready to sit you. The attitude from them is like if you leave the leave it's easier for us. One server made a comment like you have to wait I'm by myself. The Waipahu Zippys. In the past use to have friendly servers and very attentive never made you wait when tables are available. I think their manager before was Sterna she was on top of it and knew customer service was very important to business. I never see the manager walking around to check and we visit Zippys often. If it's personnel shortage then you need to hire and not skimp and make your service suffer. I have heard that other Zippys location is the same. read more

While responding to my children, who were asking questions--as children naturally do--about why we had to wait for our food, I explained that we first needed to wait for our table, and then wait again to place our order so the food could be prepared. At that moment, the server abruptly stated, "I'm alone, so you have to wait." Despite this, she proceeded to seat other parties and provide them with refreshments and additional service before attending to our table. This created confusion and contributed to a noticeably inconsistent level of service. read more

Dine in takes forever to be seated. I thought Ewa Zippys was bad but Waipahu is worse.

Ordered this months special Korean chicken with chili two scoop rice one scoop salad Very disappointed the picture they show is not what you get the scoops of rice and salad was right on but the chili was like two tablespoons and the Korean chicken only had four bite size small pieces with no favor It sure doesn't look like what they posted very disappointing read more

Dear Zippy's, You have again disappointed me. This time at your Waipahu location. Because I LOVE your Zipster Rewards, I still have hope for you. You will no longer be my first stop, but instead will be my last resort stop. If you are also going to raise prices, recommend raising the bar on the quality of your food as well. Small orange juice. Why or why it is in a kiddy water cup? You've got to be kidding? It's basically a 3 oz. cup. Chili loco moco with EXTRA chili. Where was the EXTRA chili? 3/4 of the bowl was rice. Hamburger steak loco moco - The over easy egg was cooked to done. imagine my husband's look of disappointment when he poked the yolk with his fork expecting it to drizzle down his rice. And, 3/4 of rice in the bowl. He was not a happy camper. The only item was on point was the club house sandwich and fries. Thumbs up. Great customer service by our waitress. She was very attentive and friendly. read more

This local favorite was pretty busy for a Wed morning! All curbside pick up stalls were full so I decided to walk in for my order. I was at the counter behind another female waiting to be assisted. The female in front of me was done so I thought I would be helped right away. I was wrong. They must have been busy... I waited patiently for about 2 min. The associate at the Bakery had to tell the cashier that I was waiting and needed to be helped. She clearly saw me earlier but maybe she was occupied with other orders. She then helped me and gave me my order. I asked her to order some pastries but she told that I needed to go to the Bakery which was o her right. The lady at the Bakery was very nice and friendly. She helped me with my pastry order and was so kind! They have an array of baked goods which makes it hard to choose at times. Today, I ordered a box of fried chicken, a napple apple, a chocolate center donut, and glazed mochizadas. The chicken was nice and crispy as usual and very tasty. The napple apple was delicious and flaky (a local favorite). My favorite is the blueberry napple but the napple apple is good as well. The chocolate center donut was also yummy. It was soft with a good amount of chocolate and their mochizada is a malasada and mochi mixed together. The consistency is a really good and a little chewy. Worth the try! Zippys has many local favorites and delicious bakery goodies that are worth the cheat day! read more

THE CHICKEN IS DELECTABLE, WOULD DEFINITELY ORDER AGAIN. the fish is crispy, very fresh. TENDERNISM dare I say, and I honestly wrote this review solely because of the chicken. the crunch??? nutted all over it mind you, never had zippy's a day in my life until now. if you tell me I only liked the chicken because im black then youre racist. ANYWAY next the spam... TASTE LIKE NOTHING (only got flavor from the sauce the beef had). zero stars on that. NEXT UP: THE RADISH (taste like nothing too but it had a little h in the middle for Hawaii so 10/10 presentation and 6/10 for crunch) BUT NEXT, THE BEEF............................................SPECTACULAR GIVE ME 14 OF THEM RIGHT NOW. whoever made the beef today I want to eat your butt (chat don't ban me pls) I gotta loop back to the chicken cause my god, its truly spectacular like fawkkkkkkkk OKAY SO NOW THE RICE: mid. (by itself) the chili....not the biggest fan, though im disappointed because I usually love to eat chili, but this one just isn't for me. next we have some vegetables: they're okay just dry.. ANYWAYS the whole review is a 5 star all because of the chicken and if could get a whole plate of it I would read more
