“ I definitely love coming to Zippy's when I want to splurge. Kinda pricey for two people depending on what you get. It all adds up. Food is good here. Always on point. I definitely like ordering breakfast if I come here. It's good too. Service was good and efficient. I definitely like that. I came here with mother in law and my daughter not too long ago. Plenty of space and they have a take out side and you can just sit down and enjoy your food or take it to go. Highly recommend ”
“ This review is all about the August special. Didn't get it until month end so not available now, but recommend it if it returns. Got it for a birthday and the Cream Puff Cake was a lot of fun and delicious. Had chocolate filled and haupia filled cream puffs alternating then filled in between with whipped cream, and decorated with chocolate sprinkles. Slightly reminiscent of their dream cake because of the whipped cream and chocolate, but far fancier. It's a very special and light (but actually really rich) cake. They were five of us trying it and everyone raved about it. Pretty pricey, but it was for a birthday so try totally worth it as a special treat. ”
“ 7/26/24 Did a mobile order for 3:45PM pick-up & had received a text that my order was ready at 3:30PM. I usually do curbside at this location & noticed on the app that it only offered pickup or delivery. They were doing a July special on Friday's for a char siu pork plate & wanted to give it a try. What I like about Zippy's is that they offer different specials monthly. Some are hits, some are misses, some are repeats. When I got there, I needed to use the restroom first. I asked the gal at the counter for the door code. I don't know if it was the key pad on the door or me but I had to try the code 3 times before the green lite came on with a click. I do not usually have a problem with door codes but it did seem like I had to press down a little harder on the numbers. Restroom was relatively clean for a public restroom. When I got to the counter, there were 2 ladies working, no line. Both were nice & friendly, didn't catch their names. Once I got my order, I inquired about curbside to see if it was a permanent thing like the Waipio location that doesn't have curbside no longer. She said they still have it but on days they are short-handed or in training, they do not. At the Waipio location, you are texted a code & locker number & when you go inside to pick-up, the heated food lockers are located to the right of the counter. Key in the code to your locker, then the door unlocks to get your order. I like this system because it is still contactless & you don't have to go to the counter. When I did my order for the Waiau location, I thought they had switched over to the same & was waiting for my text. Never got any more texts after the first one they sent so I asked if they were moving to that food locker system, as well. The gal said yes, eventually they are going that route & when they do, that's when there will be no more curbside. Good to know! Char siu pork plate, all mac - ONO! Pork was tender, very tasty & it wasn't dry or burnt. Mac salad was ok, good flavor but a little too much mayo. Zip pac with brown rice - an ONO favorite of the hubs. Comes with Teri beef, span, breaded fish, & fried chicken thigh. One of the few times my hubby said that the chicken tasted fresh & not dried out or sitting for hours. Portuguese bean soup, large - my favorite! Always ono tasting & chunky. They do not skimp on the Portuguese sausage, either. It's a great quick-fix when I don't have the time or energy to make it myself. Clam chowder, large. I thought it had good flavor & tasty with clams in every spoonful. Hubs thought it was ok, but has had better. They make this soup quite thick & hubby didn't eat it until the next day. I had to add a little milk to thin it out. Custard pie slice - this was good. Hubs is not a big fan of custard pie but when he tasted it, he found it to be good, too. Banana cream pie slice - My hubs favorite, but he was disappointed in this one. Usually he has no problems with it. The slice was a little beat up looking, kinda falling apart at the side & the bananas were more on the brown side. Flavor wise he said, was on point. Overall, fast & friendly service with tasty food. Side note - every time at Zippy's (all locations),whenever I check the box for no utensils for my pick-up orders, they always include it in the bag. We usually don't need them since we eat at home. Trying to save you some supply costs Zippy's, just saying. ”
“ Yum!!!!! This place has the best Haupia Cake -Two layers of white chiffon cake topped and filled with haupia filling. Iced with whipped cream and finished with coconut flakes. ONO!!! This particular cake tasted light and not too sweet! There were 2 slices left after my friends and I enjoyed ourselves. I ended up "volunteering" to take it home so my hubby could enjoy the rest of the cake. Oh he did... it didn't last! ”
“ Late dinner. Childhood memories. Been coming here since they opened and try to stop by when I'm home visiting. Always fast and friendly service. It's a nice big restaurant with lots of room and looks almost the same as when I came as a kid. My favorites are chili burrito, chili spaghetti, wun tun min, Teri beef bun, fried chicken, and Zip Pac. A bonus from the attached Napoleon bakery is the yeast donuts with chocolate center. ”
“ Having received a flyer in the mail for a discount, I decided to use it today. It was for 20 % of the entire bill for former Zippys Senior Club members. Yes ,Im a senior citizen. Ha ha ha. My wife ordered the grilled cheese sandwich, and I ordered the chicken Trio. The trio came with Korean chicken, one fried chicken breast, and chicken Katsu. This dish is for chicken lovers. The Katsu was overdone ,but overall, it was a winner. The service was excellent, to my surprise. Enjoy. ”
