I have always wanted to try Zippy’s after finding out it is Jason Momoa’s favorite restaurant in Hawaii. And just as he said, it truly is the ultimate comfort food. I accidentally ordered from their takeaway counter instead of the sit-down restaurant since it was my first time there, and I got too excited seeing all the food that I did not even notice the sign.
I ordered the Chicken Trio Platter, which comes with white rice, macaroni salad, Korean fried chicken, chicken katsu with sauce, and their original fried chicken. The food was fresh, hot, and incredibly tasty. Everything was perfectly juicy and crispy, and I finished it all even though the portion was quite large. I was so happy and full by the end of the meal, and I completely understand the hype around Zippy’s. It is one of the best fried chicken fast foods I have ever had.
I also took away their ensaimada, which was super fluffy, soft, buttery, and not overly sweet. It was absolute heaven. The prices are reasonable too, and I cannot wait to come back.

Food was horrible and only limited items on the menu were available. Mochico chicken came to the table cold and hard like a rock. Portuguese bean soup had zero flavor... The list goes on.

We are visiting from San Diego and Oahu and stopped by pretty late on our way back to the hotel. The service was great. Our waitress was on it and so kind and the food was as expected.

So short staffed that we were told not to stay because they had one server. The host then walked away, no apologies, no conversation.

We selected Zippy's as a location to try the local foods of Hawaii. It's located in a mall so the atmosphere really isn't in play. Service was good and food was great. Highly recommend the Lau Lau and pork kalua. The servings were generous that we were unable to finish our dinner in one sitting.
