“Ok this is the first time we are trying Zippy's despite the low reviews. We saw them on Oahu but never went. Then after research this is the place for chili and rice?! Must try! So happy there was one in Hilo when we were heading back from the Volcanoes. It was Easter Sunday and no one was inside except for 2 tables. No frills dated diner decor but our server was awesome. She was so nice and friendly we loved her. We ordered chicken katsu, bacon cheeseburger, side of chili, katsu chicken/korean chicken/fried chicken plate and lilikoi drinks. Maybe we were just really hungry but the food was bomb! We killed it and enjoyed it so much we ordered an extra mini plate of the katsu chicken and korean chicken to take back with us for later. There is also a bakery case around the corner and the to go fast food side. The sweet cashier told me they don't carry all the items as the sit down side does. However, what they do have is a little cheaper. Anyhow, love Zippy's and would definitely come back again! True Hawaii Diner.“
