Zippys Reviews

Bakery, coffee shop and drive in all at this location. Food is Hawaii style comfort food. There is lots of parking and easy to get to location.

The food & service was really well done
The services good & the food, ono to the max! Especially the Ox tail soup.Aloha Nui Craig 1311 Ward Ave.

What can I say zippys is and will always be a local favorite.

I got the tripe stew. It could have had more flavorful. The fries were good. This was my first time so it may be a hit or miss kind of thing. Lots of stuff on the menu. Would try again and may update review.

I love being able to make phone orders and pick on my way home. Parking can be tricky due to stall size. So often big cars/trucks go and parnking can be difficult. Food is consistent at all locations.

Fast friendly service. Liz was a very attentive and enthusiastic server. Food came out correct and ono.

It is like a way better version of Perkins/Denny's ! Delicious food and good service

Good place to eat. Nice and clean lobby good service very convenient.

Looks like they remodeled the place. Looks new inside and brighter than before. Some new items on the dine-in menu too. Had the chili nachos. Was pretty good.

this zippys is by far the best of all the zippys ive been to. fast and friendly service! they really take good care of you here!

Food is always good. Bring a jacket if you going to sit and eat. Always cold.

I go often because it is very friendly and affordable.

The wait was atrocious. Zero organization. And the food wasn't worth the price or worth the wait. Thank God I don't live here, so I never have to eat here again.

The quality of food here is not as good as other locations.

Good COVID-19 related service. Precautions properly followed.

The bad is everything everything except the breakfast menu is just ok, but the good news is breakfast is awesome and they serve it all day.

Like going to all Zippy's but didn't go there went to 7/ 11 in stead

Good food, adequate service, but $40.00 for lunch for two? Sorry, my review is lacking.

Loco moco here was delicious. Would come here again.

This is the best Zippy s on Oahu!! Not just the food is excellent but it s the employees and managers who with the local culture and always smiles on the face makes you feel like family and right at home!!

Been going to zippys since 1977. Still pretty much the same. The chili is their no. 1 seller. Every thing on the menu is good. They have a take out, sit down area and restaurant area as well. One of my all time favorite place.

Inexpensive and delicious Saimin, Rocomoko recommended

I didn't feel like cooking and I wanted a place I could sit quietly and eat. The salmon I ordered was less then stellar but they did a good job of cooking the brown rice. I ordered the small portion and had just enough room for a cup and a half of decaf coffee and a slice of yummy custard pie.

Zippy is the best. Always there when you go for midnight food run

Friendly staff. Very clean and safe from Covid. Well set up.

Friendly staff. Good food and greeting even had me and my friend laughing. Just makes the dining experience better when it's fun.

Slow service at the take out window. Didnt seem like the girl wanted to be there that day. Food was okay.

I enjoy going to Zippys. The food is good and pretty consistent. Favorites are turkey and sweet sour spare ribs.

Decent local style comfort food and desserts. They also have a take out area.

The service was remarkable. Very fast and friendly. The menu is very good. All different choices.

Cool, casual, friendly atmosphere and staff in the restaurant and drive in areas. Great food, pastries, drinks! Clean and comfortable too!

The place is always packed. I clearly do not understand this. They are dishing up pricey garbage!!

Love the fast and friendly service! Always a local food favorite.

An Hawaii staple of local food. Always ono and great value.

If you don't like dealing with karens (small k) I would recommend avoiding zippy's at this location. Known for their mediocre food which has recently switched to microwave prepared, zippy's is conveniently located and has free parking.

On a recent visit, a family member was accosted in the restroom by a Karen with arms waving, fingers pointing and insults flying. This karen in a Hope chapel jacket, marched straight to the manager who in an effort to appease her, stormed right up to our table to counsel us on the one person bathroom policy. Perhaps Zippy's should do one of the following:
1. put a lock on the inside of the door.
2. Put an occupied sign on the outside of the door.
3. Assign a full-time employee to monitor the restroom or
4. Escort karens to the curb and ask them to check for parking meter violations.

Instead he chose to ruin the time that we had for this meal with my family. I won't be back anytime soon especially since the microwave in working overtime at Zippy's now due to the lack of personnel in the kitchen, and washing your hands in the restroom can get you assaulted.

Food is okay and cheap and the servers are really friendly

Local style restaurant
Oxtail soup is recommended. In addition, Corianthin and Loco Moco are delicious!
Take-out is good, but this store is better to eat in the restaurant than other branches.

Terrific.Great renovation
And quick service. Super
And personable waitress

Comfort food...you know what to expect...nothing special

We had a club meeting in the private room which was great. The waitress was very pleasant and friendly. Even though the restuarant itself was short handed (3 people called in sick), our waitress did an excellent job.

Nice place, normally you don't have to wait long for a table to open up. Wait staff are so spread out tho once you are seated it may be another 20 minutes or longer before they come and get your order -unless they are super slow then every 5 minutes or less they're at your table asking if you are ready. Food is good but for some reason at this location they claim to never get shipped half of their Daily Specials...

It was nice to go to Zippy's in Makiki and have lunch with our good friend. The dine-in was crowded but we were able to be seated right away. The waitress came right away to get our drink and food order. It didn't take long to get our drink and food, and we were ready to eat. I ordered the small portion chicken katsu, my husband had the oxtail soup and my daughter had the regular size Korean chicken. What made it eve better was the large bowl of Portuguese bean soup. The service and the food was GREAT. Thank you Zippy's!

Place was big enough for our rowdy group. Service was attentive right up until after we got our food...but I just wish they came by more often to check up on our empty water glasses.

Kahanu our server was and is always excellent! Very friendly, always greets my wife and I with a smile. I always ask for him. Great personality, makes Zippy's fun! Zippy's needs to take care of him, a great asset to your establishment!

I very much appreciate their food and excellent service
