Reviews Summary

Zippy's Wahiawa offers a casual dining experience with a wide variety of Hawaiian and American comfort foods. Many praise the friendly service and tasty dishes, especially the plate lunches and bakery items. However, some reviewers note inconsistencies in food quality and occasional service delays due to the relaxed 'Island time' pace.

"Four stars because it’s technically “fast food” but my gosh. We’ve had two wonderful experiences here for breakfast. The ladies are kind, helpful, and efficient that have helped us at the register.
The food is so tasty for being “fast food” - the Korean crispy chicken breakfast platter 🤤. The French toast was delicious. Eggs are cooked so well 👌WHICH I think is not always done so great at a “fast food” restaurant. Their bakery has some scrumptious sweet treats.
You have the option of eating in an actually restaurant with a server or ordering at the window - more like that of a fast food restaurant. We’ve eaten in the eating area where you order and grab your food yourself. So laidback and informal - perfect for our two young daughters to meander around while we eat and enjoy a casual dining experience but with yummy food and beautiful views with the nice breeze. Would recommend if you’re looking for a quick, tasty bite, and a laidback atmosphere. 🙌🏻👍"

"I'll start with the cons which we're a little bit of a wait for everyone very much on Island time for sure and the food it okay I could make better it better at the house but I'm from out of state. But it all makes up for it because this beautiful sweet gal from Kanas I didn't catch her name but she was just precious and I hear by call her manager of the month ! And it was clean. Didn't like that you needed a code for the bathroom but you got to do what you got to do. The only reason I would come back is for the orange BANG !!!!!! 🍊🌈 And the lovely girl from Kanas

Love from Cape Cod Massachusetts"

"Probably one of the better places in Wahiawa. Very clean and great service. Has all your Zippy's favorites like Korean fried chicken and Zip Packs and one of the only places with seating that's open late. It's our favorite place for my brother and I to go after a long day. It's right of the main streets so it's easy to find and has plenty of parking too. Occasionally you'll have homeless people sitting in the outdoor seating area but, if your familiar with Wahiawa, (or Oahu in general) that's a fairly common sight but no real cause for concern just thought it was something to note. Overall I'd say it's a pretty good location and convenient with a very friendly staff."
