“Awesome zippys team. One of my go to locations for some ono grinds🤙“

“<10/10> Would Recommend :)“

“a bit pricey but food is really good“

“Delicious! I will be back! Mahalo“

“Gyoza, pronounced like "dumpling", is actually "pot sticker". The fillings are cabbage, leeks and minced pork. It's crispy, not greasy, and has just the right salty taste. It's delicious without adding soy sauce.
Various restaurants are surrounded by a small indoor food court (Lanai), with a spacious space and a leisurely atmosphere.“

“Always friendly service when we pop in. Delicious food. Cool 80’s music going. Chill atmosphere to relax and enjoy the conversation.“

“This was my first time and I loved it. Our server was wonderful. I definitely recommend this restaurant“

“Best appetizers and drinks I’ve had in a very long time“

“Scratch is one of my must eat places when I'm in Hawaii. The food is always delicious, it never misses. It was unfortunate they we unable to serve alcohol since they didn't renew their license. Service was ok. Not great considering it was a pretty slow night. It never ceases to amaze me that the waitstaff fails to bring small plates when appetizers are ordered. Come on..that should be standard practice. Overall a pretty good experience.“

“First time here and food was so good. Definitely recommend banana pancake and katsu curry chicken. Service was excellent l, so friendly. It’s a small place so you have to wait in line outside to get in but the line moved really quick. Would definitely come again on our next visit.“

“The food was good and it was quick! Minimal wait time and good portions.“

“At Zippy’s Makiki, the dining experience often stands out for its warm, local charm, but our recent visit was elevated to an entirely new level thanks to Chingky, an exceptional server who left an indelible impression on our group. From the moment we walked in, Chingky’s genuine smile and welcoming demeanor immediately made us feel at ease, as if we were being greeted by an old friend.

Unlike the forced pleasantries you might encounter elsewhere, Chingky’s warmth felt completely authentic. She struck the perfect balance of professionalism and kindness, engaging with us in a way that was both sweet and respectful. It was clear she cared about making our experience memorable, taking time to ensure every detail of our visit was seamless.

What truly set Chingky apart was her work ethic. She was attentive without being intrusive, anticipating our needs before we even realized them. Drinks were refilled promptly, and our food was served with efficiency that was as impressive as her kindhearted nature. Even while the restaurant buzzed with activity, she moved with a calm yet fast-paced energy, demonstrating her ability to handle pressure without losing her friendly composure.

Throughout the meal, Chingky remained engaging, exchanging light conversation and making sure we were comfortable. Her sweet personality shone through in every interaction, leaving us not only satisfied with the food but also uplifted by her incredible service. She had an uncanny ability to make each guest feel valued, which is a rare and admirable trait in the restaurant industry.

Chingky exemplifies what outstanding service should be—thoughtful, efficient, and full of heart. Zippy’s Makiki is lucky to have her, and we can’t wait to return for another visit, knowing that a smiling face and unparalleled service await.“

“very good food, authentic ilocano food“

“My first Raising Cane’s experience was when I was with Kuuipo. She was so excited to let me know that there were chicken tenders! Last time, it was their way of saying hello and welcoming me. I thought the food was really tasty at first because she validated the touch from when I looked. Sounds like a great food to order for take out. I’m taking my time thanking her all the way through.“

“Server was great working alone… wish they would hires more help, I saw couple of families in lined and left when service was slow. My wife and I visiting the island and this place was our hang out, busy then and still popular with the locals.“

“Caught them at Windward Mall this past Saturday, April 9. Best Shoyu Pork….Ever! Prime Rib was da bomb and sooo tender! Very friendly too!“

“Usually stay away from Zippys as prices have gone up and portions have gone down but finally decided to go down here on Wednesday night as late night choices are very limited here? and this was 830pm at night....

Had to use my $5 coupon so decided on a Zip Pac Deluxe for $18....but came out a little over $15 when using the coupon so wasnt bad. Had a couple eating their food in the dine in area self serve and other than that it was just me waiting for food. Only took 5 minutes for my food so that was a positive. Food was the typical zippys... Though the chicken got smaller and the teri beef looked rather slim and tiny too. Im glad the Las Vegas Zippys is doing well since I feel post covid that this local food chain is failing.... 4 stars.“

“I had trouble using my Zipster Rewards that are given to a senior customer who formerly had the original rewards.Working supervisor Dan at Waipahu Zippy’s helped me figure out how to use my $100 credit before the end of 2023. Dan was very patient with this old lady who needed lots of help with the app on my phone. Many thanks, Dan.“

“This L&L restaurant by Costco Iwilei is the best of the many L&L's I've visited. The food is always well prepared, tasty, and nicely portioned. The restaurant is well kept, clean, and inviting. I've eaten here so often earning me numerous cash equivalent rewards with their loyalty program. The staff are always friendly and courteous reflecting how much they value their customer....
My go to faves:
NY steak and garlic shrimp
Pork Chop and gravy
BBQ hamburger deluxe combo
Musubi
Breakfast Meat and eggs
Grilled cheese (well done)“

“Lots of variety and choices...although nothing stood out as being spectacular. Weird that there was bits of chopped potatoes in my adobo fried rice omelet. i've definitely had better elsewhere but for a food court concession it was ok! Not bad! The country fries was a little over cooked but it was well seasoned! Good portions! i ate 3/4 od my plate and i was stuffed! 😁👍🏼😁👍🏼“

“Love Zippy’s every time I visit I always stop at Zippy’s before I head anywhere else and I always order Korean chicken with extra Mac my favorite.“

“Local fav!! Love, love, love! Must have whenever I come home“

“Flying in from San Francisco, one of my 1st stops us always Zippy’s Casual friendly atmosphere. Delicious food. Love Portuguese soup and clam chowder. The corn bread fried and buttery. For a delicious taste of Honolulu, run to Zippy’s. I do!“

“love service and everybody there. food is ono!“

“Loco Moco - da bes comfort food when you’ve been on the Mainland too long. Chicken Katsu was ono! Haupia pie - ❤️“

“Great food but I guess there's a rice shortage. Before it was more rice then meat now it's wheres the rice. Prices really have gone up and so has the food. Quality food is there at a price one of the oldest restaurant chains on the island still has some of the greatest island cuisine

Parking: Parking is a little tight especially for longer vehicles like full sized trucks

Kid-friendliness: Has a kids menu and also they offer the standard crayons and paper

Wheelchair accessibility: 2 designated parking's a little tricky but it's something“

“Normally good service. Reasonably priced food. Medium priced. Good local favorites. One of the better loco mocos on the island“

“Long time since I visited this place… I missed their Mix Plate with salads! It was a bit after lunch time, so I didn’t wait for long to be served. My mixed plate was chicken katsu and mochiko chicken. My friend got beef cutlet and roast pork Mixed Plate. Both is us thoroughly enjoyed our lunch plate! Asian salad was just right flavor with sesame oil and fried wanton. A little extra was chow fun under the meat. And the price was really reasonable here!! ($15 each). Parking lot is just next to the restaurant, very convenient. It was really satisfied day for me.“

“Korean fried chicken was Ono“

“Great drinks and food. Lilikoi BBQ ribs and lilikoi Margarita were fantastic.“

“Shout out to Giovanni Pastrami in Waikiki. First of all, they screwed up! Somehow our ticket was missed in the kitchen, and after we had waited nearly an hour for our food, our waitress came and told us what happened and that they were preparing our meal now. She was very apologetic and very professional. Then the head chef came out from the kitchen and personally apologized and told us we were getting a 25% discount for our extra long wait. The food was very good and we were quite full. But then, one more olive branch appeared in the form of a complimentary brownie/ice cream dessert! I never judge a business on their mistakes; shit happens. But I totally judge businesses on how they handle their mistakes, and Giovanni Pastrami gets an A+! Ron & Jeanne Lodge Wenatchee, WA“
