Zippy’s
Zippy’s is a chain of 24 restaurants throughout the Hawaiian islands. The one Maui location is in Kahului, at 15 Hookele Street, behind Home Depot. Phone 808-856-7599.
This is the place to eat if you want a huge selection of tasty inexpensive foods, and if you want to eat with Maui residents instead of tourists. The menu is about 20 pages long. The restaurant is open from 6 AM to midnight, and fast food or carryout is open 24 hours per day. The atmosphere is similar to Denny’s but the food is much better and there are many Hawaiian items to pick from in addition to the standard American favorites. There’s also a large bakery counter.
Zippy’s is famous for their chili, their fried or katsu chicken, and their loco moco. But my favorite item on the menu is the Zip Pac which is a large bento dinner plate with fried chicken, teri beef, fish filet, and spam, all on furikake rice. In my opinion it is enough food for two people, and you won’t find that much food for this good a price in many other Maui restaurants.
See below for menu list and food photos. (The menu is too long to show it all on this page, so the below list is just a sampling.)

I am Jon and I love Maui. Writing about Maui has been my hobby for the past 30 years. This website is my effort to help you, whether a first-timer or repeat visitor, to have the best possible experience during your visit to Maui. The info here is based on my own research and experiences. I am not a travel agent and I don't sell anything, so my reports are unbiased. I have visited each of the hotels, condos, and sights, have eaten at all of the reviewed restaurants, and took almost all of the photos. I welcome your comments or questions at
