    I'm so hungry for Zippys food after watching this vlog. Thanks Chris! As a fifth generation from Hawaii, I've eaten at Zippys alot. My favorites are their fried saimin noodles with a side of teriyaki, the one ton min, and chili. Sadly, I moved from Hawaii in 1998. Miss family, friends, and Zippys! Zippys used to do online ordering, and though it was expensive, we'd order food a few times a year. Cheaper than an airline ticket, right? Even ordered chocolate dobash cake once in awhile. So ono! It was very sad when they stopped that service. Maybe as a Zippy's Ambassador, you can push to restart online ordering. Those of us who love and miss Hawaii and Zippys would love it! Mahalo, and Aloha!

    • @HelloFromHawaii

      Online ordering to the mainland? They have online ordering for pickup, which has been great. So much faster to just pick up your order.

    • @Millie-qf8nr
      @Millie-qf8nr 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the reply. I should have specified online ordering with mainland delivery was available in the early 2000s. We were in Florida at the time, and we could designate purchase points to the Hawaii kids at Florida colleges when we ordered. It was a great program! I would definitely pick up if I were down the street, heck, I'd be there in person at least weekly, but I'm in Georgia. Nearest Zippys is in Las Vegas but that's pretty far away. COVID has prevented us from going home the last few years. Hopefully we can go soon! Much aloha!

    of course i love zippys, so much memories; eating there, and working there as a mgr. what really affected me was the local people talking about Zippys. i miss hawaii culture, the people and the familiarity that comes so easy and relateable. my favorite was the chili burrito after a late night whatever...but everything good!!!

    As someone who was born and raised in Hawaii, but lives elsewhere, I have a hard time describing why Zippys is so special. It's just good diner food with a hawaiian flair. It also reminds me of my high school days because no matter what we did, or how crazy the night got, we would somehow end up at the Mililani Zippys.
    Every time we go back to the island, we gotta make at least 1 trip out there and I gotta get my Zip Pac! It was what I would get for field trips (along with the other bento spots) and the variety is too good!
