Zippy’s Arroyo Crossing

"I was also super excited about Zippy’s, since it reminds me of when I lived in Honolulu." - Janna Karel

"After more than four years of waiting, the Hawaiian casual dining legend, Zippy’s, opened its first location outside of Hawaii. Known for its Zip Pac bento boxes, Korean fried chicken, and famous chili, Zippy’s only location on the mainland is now open in southwest Las Vegas, at 7095 Badura Avenue near Rainbow Boulevard and the 215." - Janna Karel

"Zippy’s will open its first location outside of Hawai’i in Las Vegas this year, starting on October 10, 10:10 a.m. It has been a Hawai’i institution since 1966 with several locations on Oahu, Maui, and Hawai’i Island." - Janna Karel

"Zippy’s is a local chain with more than 20 locations across the state, but it’s way better than what you’ll normally find from a fast food spot. Everyone has their go-to Zippy’s order, whether that’s the famous chili with rice or a Zip Pac, a bento with teri beef, Spam, fried chicken, and a fried fish filet. Ours is the saimin noodle soup with griddled cornbread—make sure to specify griddled, as this gives the airy cake a crisp crust. While most Zippy’s locations have cozy booth seating, it also makes for great takeout if you’re exploring and driving around the island." - Martha Cheng

"Hawaiian legend Zippy’s had big plans for Las Vegas, lining up a combination 7,000-square-foot restaurant with takeout and a retail bakery for a “third-quarter opening.” The huge facility will also include an additional 12,000-square-foot central kitchen and bakery, confirmed “to support (more Zippy’s) in other parts of Las Vegas.” Created in 1966, Zippy’s has evolved into a go-to destination for plate meals, the Zip Pac, created with fried chicken, hoki fish, teriyaki beef, and Spam served over rice, and its bestselling chili. Now it pushed back its 2020 plans to the first quarter of 2021, when construction could restart." - Susan Stapleton
