Looking for Zippy’s menu calories before your next plate lunch run? This guide breaks down the calorie counts and nutrition details for Zippy’s most popular items, from chili with rice and chicken katsu to breakfast plates and malasadas, so you can order smart.
Zippy’s Menu Calories & Nutrition 2026
Zippy’s menu calories run from about 190 for a regular potato corn chowder up to roughly 1,780 for a chicken katsu curry plate, with most daily plates landing between 900 and 1,500. Zippy’s prints calorie counts right on its menus and posts full nutrition and allergen information on zippys.com, so this guide breaks down the numbers you need.
I’ll be honest: counting calories at Zippy’s is a humbling experience. This is Hawaii’s comfort-food institution, and comfort food does not come in small numbers. A Zip Pac can land around 1,340 calories before you even think about dessert.
But here’s the thing: Zippy’s actually makes it easier than most chains, because the calorie counts are printed right on the menu. You can see the numbers before you commit, which means you are planning the meal instead of regretting it. And if you want the prices alongside the calories, the full Zippy’s menu with prices is right here.
How Many Calories Are in Zippy’s Chili With Rice?
Roughly 400 calories for a regular and 500 for a large, based on widely tracked nutrition data. The chili with beans pouch alone runs about 420 calories, a large of the original chili about 340, and the chili burrito about 380.
Chili is Zippy’s most famous dish, full stop. People in Hawaii don’t debate this the way mainlanders debate barbecue. The original recipe is a rich, beefy chili, and it shows up across the menu: on rice, in a burrito, over spaghetti. If you are trying to keep the numbers down, the large original chili at around 340 calories is honestly the smartest way to get the flavor without the full plate underneath it.
| Chili Item | Serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Original Chili | Large | ~340 |
| Original Chili with Rice | Regular bowl | ~400 |
| Original Chili with Rice | Large | ~500 |
| Chili with Beans | Pouch | ~420 |
| Chili Burrito | One burrito | ~380 |
A quick note on sourcing: Zippy’s printed menus carry calorie ranges for the plate items, and the chain points customers to zippys.com for additional nutritional and allergen information. The per-item figures above come from major nutrition databases, so treat them as close estimates rather than lab-certified values.
What Is the Highest Calorie Meal at Zippy’s, and the Lowest?
Chicken katsu curry tops the menu at up to 1,780 calories per plate, while the fried chicken plate and the Zip Pac each land around 1,340. On the light end, a side toss salad is about 20 calories, a single scoop of white rice is 170, and the regular potato corn chowder is about 190.
See the pattern? The daily plates are the heavyweights. They come with two scoops of rice and macaroni salad, and that combo adds up fast. Rice alone is 300 to 350 calories for two scoops, and mac salad is nobody’s idea of diet food. The highest-calorie items on the whole board are all plates or bento boxes, which is exactly what most people walk in hungry for. So what is Zippy’s lowest calorie meal? Realistically, it is not one item, it is a build: side toss salad, a scoop of rice, and something grilled or broth-based on the side.

| Chicken Katsu Curry | Daily plate | 1,180–1,780 |
