Please bring Zippys to NEW YORK! I literally crave this food every day. The portions are big, everything tastes so good! The service might not be the best but you're here for the food and the good company. MAHALO! Btw my stomach is rumbling writing this review...

[SERVICE] Really good service here that definitely sets it apart from other locations nearby. That being said he usually do go later at night but even on a Friday night when the lines are long we usually don't have to wait long. Our orders have always been correct so far. [FOOD] Yes Zippy's food is on the expensive side. Have had no complaints about the taste of the food. FAVORITES include the: CHILI (love that you are able to get it with no beans, plus they have a vegetarian version), GARLIC BREAD (you can actually get side orders of it too). TIP: You can ask for CHEESE & ONIONS on the side!! [PARKING] Decent number of parking stalls. [HANDICAP] I want to say there are two handicap parking stalls.

1/16 Shoutout to who I assume is the manager for taking charge and tackling the dinner rush. Those customers in line complaining have never worked in a service industry and it shows. Disappointing that fellow local people would put down hard working local people. AND right after the holidays too? So shame. And to that Doordash “employee” who came in accusing them and started making a scene at the window. YOU delayed the rest of our orders by pulling the manager away from her work to groan about your work and what you need to do. I’d leave that doordasher a bad review for sure.

I always have to visit Zippy's multiple times whenever I'm back in town, and get a zip pac. Just as good as it was 20 years ago. This location is really convenient and easy to grab takeout.

Great Zippy's location, consistent with other locations on island. Fast service, tasty food. I usually get their Chicken Trio Plate or the Surf Pac, but today I got the recently revived Garlic Miso Chicken Plate. It was alright...the fried chicken was decent but the sauce wasn’t very enjoyable.

Good service. Pastries are yummy here, ordered a dozen of the malasadas. The puffiest, not too sweet, perfect round balls of pure delight! The zip pack is also a great value! The menu has a great variety of local food! Stop by if you're visiting because it's only in hawaii!! Right now for covid, theyre only doing take out, but it's just as good (:
