I live walking distance to this eatery, GOOD!!! Why can't they get the RICE right??? It's always undercooked!!! BAD!!! Something soooo simple, an eighth grader could do it!!! The food is ok, but the rice just kills it. Gotta order just chili and go home and find an eighth grader to cook a pot of SOFT rice. p.s...jus follow directions, adjust water to taste and press DA BUTTON. Before days, you gotta adjust the flame and watch da pot. And maybe get some cracks if you burn da rice. Gotta run and hide if you smell da burn. Nowadays, like smart phones you got smart rice cookers, computerized!!! no need watch! Main ting you can find the right BUTTON. I goin ovadea, and try sell Zippy's my old rice cooker, and throw some cracks at da COOK.

Came here for some late night, cheap, fast munchies. I never really expect amazing service from this zippys all the servers seem to over worked and just hoping that their shift is over. Once in a while I get an amazing and caring server that blows me away. (35% tip, make sure you take care of your servers that take care of you!) I ordered the new York steak with eggs and hash browns. Everyone seemed to be reluctant to serve us, since we just wanted to do a take out. The waitress that did finally take our order( linh) was very pleasant and our food came out and packed in less than 15 minutes. All in all, 3 stars.

Not that crowded so u can order and u r outta there fast. It's small but it has a little section for a bakery which is nice. Staff is friendly and attentive. Clean and nice with plenty of seating. Only thing is no public restrooms.

Let's get one thing straight. Zippy's, love or hate'em, is what it is. Sometimes I feel guilty bout giving so many 5 star reviews but if a business is clean, service is timely, and they operate well within the type of establishment they've set out to create... They're getting a good review from me. My standby is the zippy's chili, brown rice, cheddar and onion. Bam! (c:

so this is not a in general review as I like to go to zippys but more like on a case by case bases unfortunately this is my first review on yelp but as a person who works in the industry and almost always go out to eat on my free time which is minimal, time is a precious thing to waste, I have been disappointed one to many times, so on my way home after a long day of work while driving home I already have in my mind what I want to eat before having to hit the books again. im thinking spaghetti with meat sauce and garlic bread. so I pull over stand in line place the order only to find out "oh sorry we are out of meat sauce for the spaghetti" so I look up at the menu again and just order a saimin. (this has happened to me so many times at different restaurants so I made it a rule to order something cheaper than I would have normally ordered), but I think very soon if I hear the words oh we don't have what you want to eat I will just say nevermind and go some where else and as a reminder to myself Ill put it on yelp so that I remember my experiences with the places I go to.

I've always loved going to this zippys, but I've gone to them a couple of times to get some bakery items and they were always out of most of the items. Other than that, I love zippys!

You just can not ignore Zippy's when you are in Hawaii! You just can't. Well, may be, Zippy's is the place that you must go when you are in Hawall if your "devil" tells you to. I could not win against my "devil". So I went, but I knew that it was a mistake. I had the Zippy's Loco Moco was like my interpretation of Zou bisou bisou, the gravy was remarkably dull, so bland, almost disgusting brown water, I can tell you that much. It sucks anyhow. zippy zippy zooo, zippy zippy sucks zippy zippy zooo, zoobee zooo zoobee zooo WTF is goin'on? youtube.com/watch?NR=1&f… Zou bisou bisou is sounds of kissing? You must be joking. It sound like vomiting to me. Or blowing nose, WTF? It is not very sexy sound at all. I must say Ono's in SF area are all better than Zippy's in Hawaii. It's so bad.

The Korean chicken is as great as I remember. Been a long time since I've been here. Was missing the Mac Salad and two scoops rice plate lunch:). The cashier was very nice and polite. Wish they had Zippy's in NorCal MainLand! Great place to have some local food. Can't wait to come back.

We went here after a night of bowling. The cashier messed up on our order and when we told her she was very nice about it. She gave us our correct order PLUS let us keep the food she had originally gave us.

Being this is my first time to any Hawaiian Island, and everyone I talked to that has been here a while said don't bother with Zippy's... well they were wrong. One of the cheaper places to eat and one of many good, nay, great meals I have had. I love Zippy's, the Korean chicken is amazing and the Lilikoi Drink is good too. Good Hawaiian local fast food, nice plate of grub. Lots of choices on the menu, stick to the ones that have big pictures. Average price for about $10 per plate and drink.

Zippy's is the best when you are drunk; but when you eat it sober you feel pretty disgusting. I still have to admit though the Chili here is the bomb; one of the workers told me they put lots and lots of Mayonnaise in it. I think it's true because I tried making my own one time and added mayonnaise and it came out really good. So the secret ingredient could be mayonnaise, so please watch how much you eat because you probably will gain like 10 pounds in 4 days if you eat here every day. Only thing I hate here is they are stingey with their crackers and they will charge you for extra, ha-ha. At best OK.

Got some pastries from here. The guava and blueberry danish were pretty good but not amazing. Didn't try other food.

My friends from Oahu were showing us tourists around and they let us know that Zippy's was a very island-y place to visit. Despite being a fast food chain, I guess it's like a island staple. We were there for breakfast so my boyfriend and I ordered: -Bento box with corned beef hash, portuguese sausage, eggs and rice ($4.05): what an incredible deal. This was plenty of food and unlike some other fast food places, where the food comes out lukewarm, the food was nice and hot. I thought it was pretty solid. -Chili with crackers (about $4.75): the chili can be served with rice, but my boyfriend chose the crackers. They were like saltines, but fluffier and crispier. The chili was very hearty and flavorful. This isn't typical breakfast food, but my boyfriend seemed to enjoy it quite a bit. The seating is limited in the main area, but I guess there is an additional room around the corner. The food took a bit to come out, which surprised me since it is a fast food place, but I guess at least it was hot. Service was okay. Not particularly friendly, but not unfriendly either. Notes: -Plenty of parking for the strip mall.

WARNING WARNING *insert loud sirens and babies crying* I haven't been successful in getting a musubi or bento from their Okazuya in the past two weeks. I've gone right when they opened and there was no food on the line, no musubi and fried chicken in clear containers waiting to be purchased, no cone sushi calling out my name. I figured that I had caught them a bit too early (although I feel like if you say you open at 630, you should be prepared to serve at that time. IDK, just me? Maybe I ask too much?), so I decided to try again this morning. I showed up at about 730 and again, NOTHING. Ok, I'm exaggerating, they had teriyaki hot dogs on their line and a single cucumber maki available. I was so disappointed that I had to drown my sorrows in a chocolate long john. I guess I'm just used to being able to buy my lunch in the morning at Okazuya's? Maybe Zippys Okazuya is only good for grabbing teriyaki hot dogs in the morning? Or breakfast bentos? I had asked the woman behind the counter if they open at the same time as the restaurant and she said yes. I then I asked what time they begin to stock their counter and she said from the time they open *sadly glances down at empty counters* I'm not about to yell or give an attitude, it aint that serious. But, Zippys, if you're reading, I LOVE YOU. HAVE YOUR OKAZUYA LINE STOCKED DURING BUSINESS HOURS. Please. I beg you.

This is my very FIRST review, and sad to say it's not going to be a good one. Let's just say that I love Zippy's, love their food, and normally their service... But the last two times I have visited this location, I could only say it was two of my worst experiences at Zippy's. The cashier was fine, got the order ok, and everything. But after we ordered, the wait was ridiculous, we waited around 30+ mins for our food to come out, and this is a FAST FOOD Take out Side, which means that it should not have taken longer than 15 mins for the food to come out. IT wasn't even that busy! Which makes it all the more worse, when we did get our food, it was ALL COLD! now I usually have a policy not to send food back because you never know what people do to your food when they send it back. I'm going to assume that most people are really nice and awesome and just redo your food without messing with it, but hell, I'm not going to send back cold food. Anyways, we ordered a regular saimin, regular spaghetti plate with garlic bread, and chicken katsu plate. The saimin noodles were totally soaked up with the broth, and all stuck together in one big huge lump of noodles. Which was awful this my daughter was to eat this. Made it a lot harder to eat, so we just had to cut up the noodles and eat it in chunks. Next the Spaghetti, the sauce had the layer of dried skin on the top when it sits too long out in the open, it wasn't even hot, as it normally is, it was terrible. THE chicken katsu was the worst! My husband who eats any kind of chicken katsu, which of course happens to be his favorite dish, was sorely disappointed. He said it was super dry and super overcooked. The rice was also dry and over cooked. It was a bad day for Zippy's being that their food and service is usually top notch. WE also had to go back and get napkins, and forks, since they forgot them. They only gave us one set of chopsticks, and a spoon. Most awful experience... another time, to give it a second chance, wasn't all that much better. The wait wasn't as long, thankfully, again, it wasn't slamming busy, so no excuse for, another saimin, burrito with chili plate, and a zip pack, food again was cold and seems like it sat for a long time. I would prefer not to hit this zippy's up again, but maybe third strike? and never again?

I've been going to this Zippy's ever since I was small kid time cruising around the Waimalu Shopping Center area. Of course there are many other diners and restaurants in the area but Zippy's is always a winner. I like how this is the first Zippy's out of 2 others when you are on Kamehemeha Highway going down through Pearl City. This Zippy's location is more like on the go take out kine, I guess because of how it is built and set up with their counter stand and everything. Right next to the Zippy's counter is the Napolean Bakery counter with all of it's pastries, cakes, and other yummy desserts. They always have good ones set up right at the counter and it just tempts you to buy and eat something from there. Even though most of the time I see people getting food on the go, there is dine in seating inside the restaurant. There are a couple of tables/chairs in the front and their is a back area to with their own parking lot down there. The staff and customer service is good and prices are decent. Other than that, Zippy's food is always winnah. Yelp 365 Challenge #292/365

This was my first meal hitting the island, I hadn't eaten in hours. I got the chicken, chili, rice and macaroni salad...oh and a spam musubi! The chicken was good....nice and crispy. The chilli was ok...would call it world famous like they did...but it was good, I mixed it with my rice. The spam musubi was actually better than what I had imagined it to be. Shocker!!! The only thing I would change differently is, to cut the amount of rice in half and it would be perfect. I will also say that spam wasn't as bad as I thought it would be....I'd try it again...but not buying any for the house.

If in doubt, go out. Welcome and happy new year or yelpy new year. It's up to you. "If in doubt, go out" is correct, and i'll tell you how it relates to this Zippy's later on in the review. I want to make it clear that this phrase has nothing to do with oceans, swimming pools, or the likes. It only applies to Waimalu Zippy's. I'm going to analyze Zippy's with the fair, the good, and the excellent--Kelley Blue Book style! But i'm going to mix it up by giving you the good first, the fair second, and the excellent third. The good: Zippy's is located in the Waimalu Shopping Center, and this is just an opinion not a fact, but I feel the shopping center is bucolic. Their motto should be like Waipio Jack in the Box "If it works, we keep it working". The fair: Because the shopping center is old, it attracts punks and thugs. And it's two-fold: One, because it looks old and run-down these punks and thugs are attracted to the shopping center. It's like a second home to them, and good people leave them alone because good people think it's their territory and don't want to disturb. Two, good people who actually want to make a positive change a positive difference can't see them because these idiot punks just blend into the scenery, so when good people want to do something positive; they can't because the good people don't see these crazy people. The excellent: The two things in my life that gives me great entertainment are watching a great movie and seeing people eat at Zippy's. And I don't understand why anyone would want to eat at this Zippy's because there's like a hundred other better places to eat at Waimalu Shopping Center. I really feel too that the only people who come to Waimalu Zippys are the people that live across the street and hardcore Zippy's loyalists. However, if you're in doubt about eating at Waimalu Zippy's then just go and eat at Waimalu Zippy's because I take great entertainment in seeing people eat at this Zippy's as I make my way to Chun Wah Kam. So we've come full circle, "If in doubt, go out" go to Zippy's in fact go to any Zippy's, surprise me.

Zippys always hits the spot, but this location needs to teach better customer service skills to their night crew at the counter. Sassy & rude don't get you many return customers. I'd never stop going to Zippys, but I won't go to this location until they train these girls better. ***Update*** Was contacted the next day after my review by Zippy's customer service via message on Yelp to contact them via telephone regarding my experience. Finally remembered to do so today now that almost everyone in our house is over the stomach flu. Was reassured that they have already briefed the manager and will talk with the staff to ensure service will be addressed at this location. They got their 5th star back just because they listen to their customers. I am very pleased. That's all a customer wants. No need for freebies.

Like most people living on Oahu, I've been to all or almost all of the Zippy's locations. Convenience and familiarity of the menu makes me return to Zippy's. No complaints about the food here at the Waimalu location. The food is consistent with the other locations. However, Waimalu has the worst customer service and wait time for the evening shift. I witnessed a customer leave without his take out because he had to wait so long. He yelled at the counter lady "why does it take 20 minutes to make Hamburger Steak?!" Even though he paid, he was upset enough to leave. What made me mad was the counter lady and guy working there thought that was funny and started to imitate what the man was yelling. I was upset enough to confront both of them for their poor customer service. The next day I emailed Zippy's customer service to let them know what I seen. First time in my life I had a complaint about Zippy's enough to contact them. Yes, take out sometimes takes longer than we'd like to wait BUT when you consistently make customers wait longer than usual and longer than the other locations, something is wrong and changes need to be made. I no longer go to this location. There are 3 other Zippy's in close proximity.

Went on saturday in the early evening. .The young cashier digs her ear...touches the cash then she goes to help grab the plates ..grabs the utensils. ..never saw her wash her hands or put on any gloves..GROSS! and even the young girl that calls out your orders...she talks over the open plate (not covered) ..and also counted her cash drawer and helped out with plates and restocking the cups...she didn't wash her hands either. They were both gross! I would replace them with people that care. They are not sincere people Not going there anymore

The fast food of Hawaii! This place has one hell of a menu. It has so many different things to choose from. You can get spaghetti, rice dishes, burgers, breakfast, and just everything. Zippy's is posted up everywhere on the island. They are known for their chilli here and the meat sauce is delicious. Yes this is fast food so take it for what it is. It's open pretty late so you'll be happy to have a drunk spot to eat at. I had my rice dish with spam and portuguese sausage. It was so good! I will def come back when I visit Hawaii!
