What’s the skinny?

  • The newest Zippy’s opens on September 9, 2025, at 9570 S. Eastern Ave., just south of East Serene Ave, in Henderson.

  • To celebrate? A Korean fried chicken & chili mixed plate takeout special—just $9.99 (regularly $15.45)—at all Zippy’s locations in Vegas and Hawaii from Sept. 8 through 21.

A Slice of Zippy’s Story

Zippy’s mainland debut happened in October 2023, complete with hula dancers, a blessing by a Hawaiian priest, and diehard fans lining up before dawn.
March 2025? Location No. 2 landed on South Hualapai Way, with cultural performances and island‑style treats like malasadas and Spam musubi.
Founded nearly 60 years ago by brothers Francis and Charles Higa in downtown Honolulu, Zippy’s now boasts 25 locations across Hawaii and Vegas. Each blends a bakery, fast‑casual takeout, and full‑service dining room under one roof.

Standout Offerings

  • Korean Fried Chicken & Chili Mixed Plate: Crispy, garlic‑sweet, saucy chicken, paired with chili, mac salad, and two scoops of rice—perfect comfort fusion.

  • Community & Culture: Each grand opening feels like a mini‑festival, rooted in aloha with tributes to Hawaiian and Paiute traditions.

Community Vibe

Zippy’s isn’t just dining—it’s hometown storytelling, delivered with DNA from Honolulu. This third location confirms Vegas isn’t just ready for Hawaiian comfort food—it’s craving it. Locals now get a closer fix on plate lunches that double as feel‑good bites.
