I have tried to engage Amanda and Felix. I could not do so. What is your secret, pray tell? They love every other comment but for mine. I truly cannot figure out what I have done that might have caused that couple offence.
"sugar makes everything good" should be on the wall at Napoleon's Bakery. Well said. Thanks, Chris for making this and asking us to participate! It was a lot of fun to watch.
Thanks for inviting me to be apart of your video. It was interesting to see everyone's opinions about Zippy's and their go to dishes that they order. 🤙
Please ask Zippy's to bring back the clubhouse sandwich. We really miss eating that at Zippy's. Thanks and Congratulations on becoming an Ambassador for Zippy's!
This was a lot of fun! Love hearing other locals favorites from Zippys. Thank you Chris for inviting me to be a part of this video. Congratulations on being Zippys Ambassador! That is an awesome partnership to be a part of!
Thanks so much Chris for letting me be a part of this awesome video. It was really nice to see so many local TH-camrs. And BIG congratulations on your announcement!!! I'm so happy for you. We'll grab lunch soon. Shootz!
@@HelloFromHawaii I went school at Washington so I always saw it but never really went there to buy food or dine in until I started to work. I would go there to dine in after going out at night with friends or just to have dinner. Now I just get take out all the time from there! That one is my go to!
I love Zippy's! I'm not a Hawai'i local, but during my visits to Oahu I always request to hit up Zippy's after my first time getting introduced to it. Chili & chicken plate baby 😋🤙🏽 Mahalo Chris for this video! I'm missing Hawai'i & Zippy's now ❤❤❤
Thanks again for inviting me to participate in this video! I love watching everyone else's responses. Looks like there are some similar answers LOL and I feel like I have new ideas for great menu items that I can order next time! Congrats on becoming an ambassador!
I enjoyed watching this. Although I live in Tokyo, I grew up near Zippy’s and have lots of fond memories there. We’ll be visiting Hawaii this month to see family and of course, paying a visit (or two) to Zippy’s. Thanks for the awesome content.
@@HelloFromHawaii thanks for reading my comment. Do you think it would be ok to film inside the Zippy’s restaurant? I’d like to feature it in one of our videos.
I moved to the mainland in ‘86. EVERY trip back home (every 2yrs) starts with a stop at Zippy’s, and yeah sometimes I didn’t tell my folks I did this. Now with a family we still do this, in fact my kids (in their 20’s) look forward to this tradition! My go-to’s are Zip Pac and Korean Chicken plate.
Mainlander here. When I go to Hawaii to visit my wife's family, Zippy's is usually the 1st stop we make after leaving HNL. I get super excited for it every time.
Indeed. After watching this, I tried Zippy's for the first time. The menu was overwhelming 😆 Just got the ZipPack or something. Was good, but the chicken was undercooked. The manager apologized and refunded. Was impressed. Will try again the Deluxe version next time in Oahu.
Chris - This was an amazing collaboration of Hawaiian TH-cam creators. Thank you so much for sharing your Zippy's memories and favorite foods. Chili is the best!
Sooo freaking Happy for U Brah for becoming a Zippy's ambassador. With everything that y'all have been going through, this couldn't have happen at a better time & to a batter person. Proud of u Brah. I never ate a Zippy's ever in my life because I'm vegan. To me, Down to Earth is like a Zippy's/Time's supermarket combo & how the locals here feel about Zippy's is the same way I feel about Down to Earth. I wish they had a Down to Earth Ambassadorship.
MAHALO Chris! This was a cool collaboration with everyone. Sorry mine didn't have actual talking lol. We planned a shoot but got rained out, moved to another location, shot for about 8 minutes before the rain caught up with us. A frustrating short film for us to make, but I like a challenge! 😁😁 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
I love Amanda and Felix and Authentically Charles. I like how Charles is also wearing an In-N-Out t shirt for this, haha 😆 Zippys seems to have such a great variety of food! Thats awesome and looks so good!
Definitely brings back a lot of memories and nostalgia thinking about all the times I went to Zippy's. Thank you for the video. My favorites are different for different things, beach: zip pac; late night: won ton min/saimin.
Ai-ya... You missed Hazel from Taste of Haze. Yup, Zippy's since 1968 when our next door neighbor in Kalihi brought us for the first time to the Moiiliili branch right after a Hawaii Islanders baseball game! It was a WOW moment!
It was wonderful hearing so many different local opinions on why Zippy's holds a special place in people's hearts. We love to get lilikoi juice with anything and the Apple Napples hold a special place in our hearts since we ate them for wedding morning breakfast!
Excellent video! Love Zippy's, too! So good to see all those popular podcasters in one video sharing their thoughts about this local treasure. Mahalo nui!
Congrats on being a brand ambassador for Zippy’s! Favorite Zippys food based on mood: Loco Moco extra gravy, side piece chicken-regular day. Small won tun soup (no noodles) with extra green onion, French fries & zippys omelette-post night of drinking ;) And ZIP pac-when no can make up my mind lol. This was a great vlog idea!
I enjoyed watching this. It was great to see and hear locals speak about their Zippy's memories and favorite foods. I ate at Zippy's Koko Marina area in March. My friend and I had clam chowder. Just a snack. I had just arrived in Oahu to visit a friend. The clam chowder is very good. Thank you for another enjoyable video. Your videos always make me feel good. They are comfort food for the soul.
This video made me soooo homesick. Can't wait to go home later this year. When I grew up we didn't have Zippys. I grew up in Wahiawa. We had Toppers and Big Way Burger. Love you videos and your attitude.
With all of your guest commentators I would say that this is one of my favorite Hawaii food reviews. Great job in collecting so many familiar food celebrities.
Congratulations, Chris! This is such exciting news for you. It's such a pleasure to watch your channel and you're beautiful family grow. Sending love from TX!
Such a COOL video! Love all the local Hawaii vloggers and their love of Zippy's. I have so many fond memories of hanging out at Zippers after a late night with my bestie, dinner with my hubby when we were dating, and it was my yummy escape when I was grading papers in my teaching years.
The collaboration power in this video is as powerful as the nostalgic power of Zippy's. Like the final Avenger's movie (cue end music theme "Avenger's, assemble!"). I saw some familiar local TH-camrs I'm a subscriber/fan of and now have met some new local TH-camrs I'm curious about. Personally, I'm a fan of Zippy's fried chicken and saimin--and the ambiance. I miss the Zippy's dining area at Pearlridge mall where the Sears used to be. Super lovely video!
This is in response to the brand announcement at the end of the video: very well deserved. The content wholeheartedly captured how Zippy's feeds the need for local grindz and for the local soul. The aloha spirit is strong with this one! Congrats.
I have been WISHING for a video collaboration featuring so many of these Hawaii you tubers for so long! I haven't been on island in quite a few years but I still dream about Zippy's loco moco and chili 🤤. Thank you so much for making this video!
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!
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!
Oh mannn, I moved from Hawaii 6 years ago and I REALLY miss home. Zippy's was always a staple in our family. Zip Pac is at the top along with Oxtail Soup. Man I can taste it right now!!! I MISS HAWAI'I
When I was a kid, my favorite Zippy's foods were their Breaded Beef Cutlet with brown gravy, Loco Moco or their Fried Chicken. Now that I'm old, Zippy's is still comfort food and I still go there regularly.
Great video, love seeing all the you tubers, some I didn’t know about (do now). Favorite, mixed plate or local moco (side of Portigee sausage 😜). Mahalo and Aloha to you and yours 🤙🏼❤️🇺🇸🤠
Ok I'm sold! Will be there again in december and ccx will be taking the family there for sure!! Loved the content! Thanks for introducing us to some new creators!!
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!!!
I used to go to the Zippy’s in Waimalu shopping center on Oahu about twice a week when my wife and lived in pearl ridge. I love the saimin with slice of Teri beef, oxtail soup, fried saimin, and zip pac.
Love Zippy’s 💕My favorites Zip Min , and Korean chicken salad with Apple Naples for dessert! Enjoyed seeing the other Hawaii You Tubers … Good Job and great example of Supporting each other with ALOHA! 🤙🏼
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!
Great video! First meal off the plane this past week was ZipMin! Love it. Your channel and Felix and Amanda's were great influences in helping me make the decision to move to Big Island! Mahalo!
It was a ritual, Zippy’s after high school football games. Now, it’s the first stop after arriving at the airport when visiting home. Always went for the mahi mahi. And when it’s in season, the garlic miso chicken.
Aloha and I know Paul Yokota and he stands for Quality of good Food and good Service. And if you lucky he even might play his Gitarre for you. Mahalo Mr Paul. From the Island of Hawaii
@@HelloFromHawaii Today I went to the Zippy's in Kailua and I had the Zip Pac deluxe with a Sprunch soda, and wow that was excellent. Couldn't finish it all though. I had to bring it back to the hotel. Thanks for the recommendation. I will go again for breakfast.
Hi Chris , this is an interesting unique vid on Zippy’s, showing all the active TH-camrs reviews 🤙 I’m planning a visit to Oahu next year 2023 and Zippy’s was not on my to do list. But after seeing this , it will go on my to do list Many thanks , Mahalo 🤙
I can honestly say this video made me plan on eating at Zippy's for MULTIPLE meals during my trip to Oahu in June. Too many things I want to try...cannot try all in one visit.
....now I know what our first port of call will be after arriving on Oahu will be.....just have to get there first! Great concept Chris in getting the word out to the foreigners about what places to look out for! Mahalo!
Everytime we go back to Oahu we go to Zippy's. Not a local (yet) but I love the Portuguese Bean Soup and the Korean Fried Chicken. I'm going to need to try that Zip Pack next time though.
Food is a big part of any culture. Thank you for this great compilation. HINT - when someone mentions a favorite, add a pic of that item in the video to further illustrate. Why am I so hungry now?
Finally visited home since before the pandemic. 😷 Zippy’s, first stop. 🤪 Got the new Chicken Trio! Been 4 times in just over a week. Including Maui’s to bring up to family in Pukalani. Buffet table. Yum. And the delicious Dobash cake. 😋 Omg. Dozen long johns and various donuts/pastries. 😱 Sunday picnic with friends. Tray of spam musubi, 15-pc chicken and lg bucket of chili. Friends got couple Local Favorites platters. So good. Love Zippys. 🌴 Everything! Good videos. 👍🏼 Enjoying your content. 😎

Thanks. It was fun to put together. I'm hoping this sparks more collaborations in the future.
@@HelloFromHawaii me too! Hawaii TH-camrs listen up! Give us some collabs like this!
Great video, love seeing all the you tubers, some I didn’t know about (do now). Favorite, mixed plate or local moco (side of Portigee sausage 😜). Mahalo and Aloha to you and yours 🤙🏼❤️🇺🇸🤠
Yeah, lots of great content creators here. 🤙
Ok I'm sold! Will be there again in december and ccx will be taking the family there for sure!!
Loved the content! Thanks for introducing us to some new creators!!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. And if you don't know what to order, can't go wrong with the Zip Pac. 🤙
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!!!
I used to go to the Zippy’s in Waimalu shopping center on Oahu about twice a week when my wife and lived in pearl ridge. I love the saimin with slice of Teri beef, oxtail soup, fried saimin, and zip pac.
Love Zippy’s 💕My favorites Zip Min , and Korean chicken salad with Apple Naples for dessert! Enjoyed seeing the other Hawaii You Tubers … Good Job and great example of Supporting each other with ALOHA! 🤙🏼
🤙
Congratulations on your endorsement, Chris. You deserve it! I’ll have to get the fam to try Zippy’s next time I’m out.
🤙
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!
Mahalo for sharing. Yeah it's hard to describe why locals love Zippy's. It's what you grow up with.
Great idea to have a collaboration from the other YTers!
Awesome collabo! Zip/Surf Pacs, Fried Chicken & Trio! I'm still monitoring the Las Vegas location (fingers crossed). Welcome back!
That Vegas location is going to be special. Hope they keep the interior with the same theme.
Great video. Liked all the Hawaiian creators. Hawaiian Creators Universe (HCU). CT from SF/CA
Chris! That was awholelota fun!!
Zippy's is so smart to back you and your Ohana❤️! Chowder soup yum!
🤙
the ultimate hawaiian youtube crossover 👍
Really grateful that so many people contributed. 🤙
Rajah dat!
We are thinking of visiting during Christmas this year and now Zippy’s is definitely on my list!
It's definitely where the locals eat.
Great video! First meal off the plane this past week was ZipMin! Love it. Your channel and Felix and Amanda's were great influences in helping me make the decision to move to Big Island! Mahalo!
Glad you tried it. It's been rainy here so it makes the perfect wet weather food.
Yay Zippys!
🤙
Funny I just had lunch yesterday at Zippys. Glad to see other Hawaii folks I subscribed featured.
Love love love Zippy’s. This was an awesome video. Congratulations on being Zippy’s Ambassador.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video 🤙
Fantastic idea for a video!! Well done.
🤙
It was a ritual, Zippy’s after high school football games. Now, it’s the first stop after arriving at the airport when visiting home. Always went for the mahi mahi. And when it’s in season, the garlic miso chicken.
Love Zippy’s . I used to live in Oahu in the mid 80s to mid 90s, Zippy’s was the go to spot.
Aloha and I know Paul Yokota and he stands for Quality of good Food and good Service. And if you lucky he even might play his Gitarre for you. Mahalo Mr Paul. From the Island of Hawaii
I just landed in Honolulu for the first time and I've been seeing these a lot. I guess I'll have to try it. The zip pac looks good.
Zip Pac is my favorite. 🤙
@@HelloFromHawaii Today I went to the Zippy's in Kailua and I had the Zip Pac deluxe with a Sprunch soda, and wow that was excellent. Couldn't finish it all though. I had to bring it back to the hotel. Thanks for the recommendation. I will go again for breakfast.
Great video for non locals to find out what a special place zippy is
Hi Chris , this is an interesting unique vid on Zippy’s, showing all the active TH-camrs reviews 🤙 I’m planning a visit to Oahu next year 2023 and Zippy’s was not on my to do list. But after seeing this , it will go on my to do list
Many thanks , Mahalo 🤙
For visitors, I think one of the best things is that it's where locals eat. You'll get to experience a variety of local foods with the diverse menu.
Never knew of Zippy’s before. Thanks for the info. Will certainly try it next I am there.
Give it a try. Lots of variety for local food.
Shoots! We can buy Zippy's chile at a few stores here in Seattle!
I can honestly say this video made me plan on eating at Zippy's for MULTIPLE meals during my trip to Oahu in June. Too many things I want to try...cannot try all in one visit.
Definitely worth a try. Lots of locations, which makes it convenient. And it's where locals eat so you get a good variety of local favorites.
awesome video!!! my definite go to is the classic Korean chicken
Well done, Chris and congrats Ambassador.
🤙
....now I know what our first port of call will be after arriving on Oahu will be.....just have to get there first!
Great concept Chris in getting the word out to the foreigners about what places to look out for! Mahalo!
Mahalo for watching the video. Glad it was helpful. 🤙
Go-to Fav: Wun tun mein, Pink lemonade & Haupia cake 😋 too good, now we get in Hilo 🤙🏽
Born on Oahu on the exact day Zippy’s was founded in 66. Went to the original on King St when it was just a small white box with a walk up window.
That must have been an interesting place to visit back in the day. Used to go to the McCully location a lot when I went to Washington Middle.
Aloha Chris...Great segment...Fav: Chili Frank extra Mac...also work the whole menu...best to you and family...mahalo G 🤟🤙
🤙
Las Vegas look forward to Grand Opening here in few months! Thks 👍 yummy 😋 we can't wait.
🤙 Should be exciting
Everytime we go back to Oahu we go to Zippy's. Not a local (yet) but I love the Portuguese Bean Soup and the Korean Fried Chicken. I'm going to need to try that Zip Pack next time though.
Don't forget to download the Zippy's app. They just released it 🤙
Food is a big part of any culture. Thank you for this great compilation.
HINT - when someone mentions a favorite, add a pic of that item in the video to further illustrate.
Why am I so hungry now?
🤙
25 years ago loved the saimin
Love the Zip Min, its great to stop at Zippy's after a long flight to Hawaii and know you'll get a great meal after hours on the plane. :-)
🤙
Zippy’s hands down is the go to place for comfort food. Its a fine example of the multicultural society Hawaii is known for.
🤙
Finally visited home since before the pandemic. 😷 Zippy’s, first stop. 🤪 Got the new Chicken Trio! Been 4 times in just over a week. Including Maui’s to bring up to family in Pukalani. Buffet table. Yum. And the delicious Dobash cake. 😋 Omg. Dozen long johns and various donuts/pastries. 😱 Sunday picnic with friends. Tray of spam musubi, 15-pc chicken and lg bucket of chili. Friends got couple Local Favorites platters. So good. Love Zippys. 🌴 Everything!
Good videos. 👍🏼 Enjoying your content. 😎
Sounds like a lot of ono food. Dobash cake...so underrated. 🤙
@@HelloFromHawaii Also stopped with friends after the UH volleyball game. Won ton min! Open late! Forgot what they had. 🥴
Amazing how you got so many to come together for this🤙🏽
Yeah, thankful it all came together. So great to hear everyone's stories.
Aloha from Kuwait 🇰🇼! Zippys that my local restaurant. Mahalo
