Zippy's Summerlin South

They have too few employees for a place this large, which makes their service quite slow when they bring out the food. The restaurant is quite large, so it can accommodate a great number of customers. The employees are very pleasant and helpful, though they really need to move a bit faster. This spot serves Hawaiian fast food. The quality is average, but you might enjoy it. If you order the chocolate brownie with ice cream, make sure to ask them to warm it up. Otherwise, you'll get a block of cement that you can barely cut with a spoon. The dream cake is decent.

The Korean Fried Chicken was excellent! The chili, macaroni salad and rice on that plate was also good. I suggest getting the chili with their cheese and onion option. The Zip Pac, however, had some flaws. Although the fish, Spam and beef were good, the bone-in chicken was tepid, dry and not good. The rice was also dry. Nice interior. This is a full blown sit down restaurant with a large dining room and good lighting, definitely not fast food. A fresh bakery is in the same building. Great friendly service, refilling our drinks several times. Simple interior with almost no decorations. While We were leaving, an employee was cleaning up our table and asked if everything was okay. I mentioned the chicken on my plate, and she offered to bring me another piece to go, which she did. Unfortunately, it was pretty much the same chicken that was on my plate.

What a wonderful experience, my server Julius was incredibly welcoming and informative, with great tact at guiding me through the menu, specials, and desserts. I was craving the Zip Pac Deluxe with extra chicken and he delivered with speed, articulation to my customization, and with frequent visits to ensure everything was good. The restaurant environment is warm, welcoming, and a great modern twist to diners, Hawaiian food, and a neighborhood restaurant for the family. My favorite thing they have, hands down, is the Orange Bang drink, which tastes like a melted orange creamsicle. The flavors are nostalgic, the service is fantastic, and the time spent here is worth repeating! How could I not enjoy the experience?! This was quite the treat and I look forward to returning soon!

UPDATE: My family and I visited again on 25 July 2025 and had the same outstanding service by this restaurant. The only difference is that we got to experience phenomenal service from Julius this time. I attached new photos from this visit to this review. Mahalo Nui Loa! 🤙🏽 ---------------------------------------- When I first heard of Zippy's opening a second location in Las Vegas, I was astonished because I didn't expect them to go that route so soon. I figured us locals would be stuck with only having just one Zippy's location for the unforeseeable future. However, after hearing where the second location was going to be, I was a little confused as to why they decided to build so close to the first location (Badura Ave). I just assumed there were more "island locals" on that part of the city so it was a strategic decision on their part? Regardless, I'm just annoyed because I wish they would've built one in the far Northwest part of the valley so I have one closer to my house. Also, since they're planning a third location in Henderson, it would make sense to cover three major points of the surrounding areas. But, I digress. My wife and I ate here on 21 Jun 2025 after I've been having that itch to eat a Zip Pac and Saimin. When we walked in, the restaurant wasn't busy at all which is always appreciated when I'm starving. The décor was nice...pretty similar to the first location, but I noticed that this building is much smaller. The facility itself and especially the dining area was clean, as it always should be. The service that evening was great, mainly from the hostess (Dallas), and our main server, Jorddan (yes, with two D's). Jorddan was very attentive and friendly which made the entire experience much more pleasurable to dine here. Since there weren't as many customers dining at the time of our visit, I was happy that I could actually hear the music playing in the restaurant. I couldn't hear the music at the first location because with all the customers there, along with the music level being low...and honestly, I didn't even know music was playing while I dined at that location. We ordered the Zip Pac Deluxe (of course), Saimin, Korean Fried Chicken and Chili, and Apple Napple. Everything tasted fresh and extremely satisfying - I have zero complaints about the food quality and quantity. I have tried most things on their menu in my lifetime (both in Hawaii and in Las Vegas), so there's really nothing bad on their menu that I can recall. Heck, even their coffee and fruit punch were wonderful (yes, that was our drinks while we dined here). Overall, I loved my experience here as depicted in my 5-star rating. The prices are adequate, though, I have noticed a price increase from the previous years I've eaten here...but that's expected with everything increasing these days. And to be honest, if I can't afford to pay for things at a restaurant, then why would I even bother eating outside of my house (just saying). Also, the portions are not the typical "island style" grub where your plate has enough food to feed three people...but it's the right amount - and quite frankly, us Americans (and especially me) eat way too much anyways. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone - I/we will be back soon!

I’ve always wanted to try Zippy’s, Hawaii’s famous diner, but unfortunately, my experience didn’t meet my expectations. The atmosphere was surprisingly quiet, with the dessert showcase nearly empty and somewhat unkempt. As for the food, it was disappointing and lacked the quality I’ve come to expect from similar eateries. I ordered the Korean fried chicken, but it was nothing like what I’ve had at other places. It was overly salty and lacked flavor, which was quite underwhelming. Honestly, there are other Hawaiian restaurants that offer better value and more satisfying dishes for the same or lower prices. The only bright spot during our visit was our server, Jordan. She provided excellent service and genuinely made an effort to make our experience better, which I appreciated given the overall lack of food quality and atmosphere. I wouldn’t recommend Zippy’s if you’re looking for a memorable Hawaiian dining experience. There are better options out there that deliver on both flavor and ambiance.

We stopped by for the first time for some lunch. We were greeted right away and felt very welcomed. They sat us and tended to us right away. Our waitress, Trish, was super attentive and very friendly and helpful. We loved her cheerful attitude. We had the Korean fried chicken plate, the beef teriyaki plate, the fried noodles and a spam musabi. Everything came out hot and delicious! We were too full to try the desserts but they all looked super yummy. Maybe next time! Can’t wait to go back and try something new.

Located on Hualapai near Flamingo. You can either order takeout or dine in. Just scan the code and place your party on waitlist. The wait was not long at all for us. The servers there were three who tagged team for one another. Just be patient with them they are definitely doing their best with a smile. What we ordered: 1.) Short stack Pancakes $7.50 these were cooked to perfection slight crispness on the outside and just enough moistness on the inside. 2.) Zippy Omelette w/ cheese $14.50 my husband said it was good. 3.) Prime Burger $16.30 these burger was tasty and the Mac salad was really good. 4.) Orange Bang $4.50 this was a bit on the sweet side for me.

I truly love Zippys and come by here weekly for the ensemada. But, I need to update my review based on my last visit. The food is always delicious. I had the Zip Pac Deluxe, Corn Chowder my fave, and an ensemada. All these dishes were so good. The only negative was the service. We noticed our food sitting out for a bit. We were thinking maybe she's waiting for the order to be completed before bringing it to us but that wasn't the case. She served us the condiments and sauces and umm said "Here's the sauce for the poke." We all looked at each other and said, we didn't order poke and I said she probably got confused that it's the tartar sauce for the fried fish. Also, I asked for my rice to be plain and she said it is plain. Hmm so no furikake. Great!!! But nope, it was not plain. Clearly, she didn't know. Regardless of my experience regarding the server, I'd still return because everyone is genuinely nice. ‐‐-------Updated Review The Aloha Spirit can be found here. Congratulations to Zippy's for your 2nd location in Vegas. I was happy to be present for the grand openingand I was able to dance hula during the opening celebration. But, what I was more excited about was seeing they had Ensemada. Yay!!! It's been years since I've had one from the Wahiawa location. I ordered the Zip Pac Deluxe and had it with Rice, Teri Beef, Chicken, Fish, Spam and Chili no Beans. In addition I had 2 Ensemadas. Soooo good!!!! Service was amazing and all the workers were so friendly. Thank you
