In depth review:
I recently stopped by and ordered the Korean Fried Chicken with Chili. The chicken itself was crispy, juicy, and coated in a deliciously sweet and savory glaze. The chili that came with it had good flavor, though there was an issue with the temperature. My portion was a bit too cool, which took away from the overall experience. On the other hand, my best friend’s dish came out with the chili scalding hot—almost too hot to eat. It was as if I got the last bit of a batch that had cooled down, while my friend got the fresh batch. While the flavor of the chili was still great, the inconsistency in temperature was a bit off-putting.
Service was quick, and though the atmosphere is basic, the staff was friendly and efficient. I went around dinner time , so there was no wait.
In addition to the Korean Fried Chicken, Zippy’s menu features a solid variety of comfort food options. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable.
Pros:
• The Korean Fried Chicken is crispy and flavorful with a great glaze.
• The chili adds nice flavor (when it’s at the right temperature).
• Quick service and a convenient location in Kahala.
• Reasonable prices with generous portions.
Cons:
• Inconsistent temperature of the chili (mine was a bit too cool, my friend’s was scalding).
• The atmosphere is simple and can get crowded during peak hours.
