I’ve been to Zippy’s in Honolulu and like their Zip Pac combo. I will be sure to try the LV location next time I’m there. Thanks for the tasty video, wish I had some Zippy’s for breakfast right now!

I don’t believe you’re supposed to eat each item separately. Spam and the other related Hawaiian food can be a bit salty so it’s best to take a small amount of the protein portion and then at the same time eat some macaroni and rice. Same for the chili. The experience is eating the chili with rice.
@animatsuri3 ай бұрын
The portions are big in at the Las Vegas Zippy's probably because that's the tradition of a typical Hawaii plate lunch. Plus, ingredients are probably a lot cheaper than in Hawaii. That same dish would be a littlle smaller at Hawaii Zippy's.

Glad you enjoyed Zippy's. It's not standard for the continental U.S. but for the locals in Honolulu, it is a local chain that everyone goes there during some part of their lives. The menu has changed over the years and has increased they started, but if one thinks about teenagers grabbing a bite to eat after a movie and such, grabbing a teri burger and bowl of saimin as a meal was something plenty of people did. The Chili is one thing, try their Chili Spaghetti with garlic bread. Simple but filling. They usually have saimin and won ton min, Portuguese Bean Soup and Jook, plus Ox Tail Soup. Naples and Malasadas are good, but they have other desserts as well.

You should also try the Chili -Fried Chicken Mix with rice and mac salad. We usually eat the chili on a bowl of rice. I don't think anyone eats chili by itself. My favorite is the Korean fried chicken, but a little healthier dish is the Korean fried chicken with salad. The haupia or dobash cake (if they have it) are also good desserts, but I usually go for the Apple Napples!

@@jonh.7661: It's not common outside of China/Hawaii cultures that it might be familiar with. Zippy's does a Turkey Jook with char siu and Chinese Parsley, but some of the best Jook (Rice Soup) had Chinese Roast Duck/Chicken, which the roasted flavor of the Roasted Duck/Chicken just made it spectacular. Other places had slice char siu, green onions, Chinese parsley, pickled daikon diced up. It can be a filling meal as when think of a soup as being watery, but best Jook that I've had was thick enough for a spoon to stand by itself, along with my mom making it with guava smoked turkey from thanksgiving. The smokey flavor of the turkey flavoring the base made from Smoked Turkey carcass, meat until it fell off the bones and then boiled with cooked rice, until it starts to dissolve and absorbed into the rice and smoked turkey is something else.

Great review~ I lived in Honolulu for 6 years in the 90s & really loved it & can't believe I can finally get malasadas outside of Hawaii!!! I also love their chili ~ it's just basic chili, but it was Hawaii's first taste of chili so the basic recipe just stuck. The chili makes me fart ferociously, but to me it's worth it even though it makes my co workers suffer.

Food is awesome went there a few weeks ago, unfortunately someone had a seizure while we was waiting for our order, we tried helping because the security company they hired " uce protection group" didn't know what to do, very disappointed and sad on that part. But for the food experience was better. Anyways-I'm Happy they finally made it to Vegas, Hawaii locals hype it up so much because we miss the familiar taste of our childhood, but people who never had it expects so much, so the experience may get mixed reviews, this is our late night place to go especially after-hours because everything closes early in Hawaii. Its definitely not our 5 star restaurant but its our local brand with memorable dishes back home.

I've lived in Hawaii my whole life and never had a fascination with Zippys LOL! It was the go to place when I grew up only because it was 24 hours and in Hawaii there weren't to many 24 hour restaurants. But Zippy's now has become an L&L excpt L&L has different specials depending on which one you go to. Not saying there bad but if you wa to taste real authentic local food find a mom and pop restaurant that is still around. There are some that still exist but are GEMS and hard to find. Most local food trucks serve authentic local foods the kind you won't find in Zippys made with family recipes.
