Maui finally has a Zippy's

Maui finally has a Zippy's

Zippy’s is new to Maui, but it is a much-loved family restaurant on Oahu. Founded in 1966 they are also known for the items in their Napoleon’s Bakery, in particular the Napples that are flakey turnovers. We have patronized one in Kaneohe where Bill Clinton ate and one in Honolulu where Barack Obama ate. I wonder what future president will be attracted to the one in Kahului, Maui. Technically this Zippy’s is at 15 Ho’okele Street in the Puunene neighborhood; within sight of the Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Mill smoke stacks. Nearby is the Sugar Museum. This is the largest Zippy’s we have seen. If you aren’t a regular customer here, it takes a while to work your way through the menu. There are eight Daily Specials Menus, (A-H), that rotate through the seven days of the week. In other words Tuesdays special this week is Wednesdays next week. There are some unusual items on these menus like: Mandoo Soup, Kim Chee Fried Rice, Lamb curry, Chicken Nishime, and Oxtail Stew. Don’t worry Bruddah, there are basics too such as Kalua Pig, Roast Beef, Beef Stroganoff, Meat Loaf, and Baked Ham. In addition to the Daily Specials There is another huge menu with plate lunches, breakfast items, sandwiches, burgers, and Mini Pacs. Bill had a bacon cheeseburger. I was more adventuresome and had a Zip Pac. This perennial favorite includes fried chicken, Teriyaki beef, battered fish, rice, cabbage and a slice of Spam. Actually I had the Mini Pac that to my disappointment deleted the Spam (also deleted the fish and one scoop of rice). We did have problems getting what we ordered. I chalk that up to it being a newly opened restaurant that’s still working the kinks out. I would return here, the food is value priced and you can’t beat the variety. Supper for two with one beverage and tip was $23.00.

Zippy's Koko Marina

Zippy's is one of my favorite restaurants in Honolulu even though my husband doesn't like it. Zippy's serves American food such as sandwiches, salads and basic entrees. They also serve local dishes such as saimin, loco moco, and mahimahi sandwiches. This Zippy's location is very ideal because it overlooks the Koko Marina. If you get window seating, you can see the marina and part of Moanalua Bay. Service is fast and friendly. This restaurant is not fine dining so you can come in dressed in shorts and a t-shirt. Prices are in the moderate range. Most sandwich, salads and a few entree meals are under $10.00. Reservations are not required but it can get busy on weekend nights since people are going out to the Koko Marina theaters or other local spots. I would recommend this restaurant for a casual dining experience. Try to ask for a window seat if you want to get the nice views of the marina.

Basically a place to go to after a hard night of partying or for a quick and cheap bite. We got take out on the way to Point and ate it while relaxing in the sun.
