Zippy's Las Vegas - Hawaii's Favorite Diner
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 06. 2024
- Zippy's is a Hawaiian diner serving up lots of island classics as well as other diner food. Zippy's was exclusive to the state of Hawaii until now as the first expansion restaurant outside of the islands finds its way in fabulous Las Vegas Nevada! This restaurant has been incredibly busy when I've driven by but I finally got the chance to try it and I hope you enjoy watching my experience trying Zippy's for the first time!
Every restaurant is a buffet if you're willing to pay
Thanks for watching!

Have you been to the Zippy's in Hawaii?
Yes L& L is a little better but it’s really just junk food Hawaiian style. Rather go to Plate lunch truck. Support Local
@Mickcotton I love that! Next time I'm in Hawaii I'll definitely hit up a bunch of local trucks!
Sorry, anyone who mentions L&L in Hawaii is NOT from Hawaii, L&L has always been a joke, you want real Hawaiian food-Go Helenas in Kalihi, but local mixed food, anywhere in Hawaii but L&L.. pretty much anywhere that has " Drive-In" is solid local food.
@@HeySTFU... your high. I see local cops at L&L for Breakfast almost every day And not one or 2 About 4 or 5 All together for Grindz
@@Mickcotton Im born and raised in Hawaii, and nobody eats at L&Ls , its Chinese owned and nothing in L&L is Hawaiian, the fact you think because cops eat there makes it Local tells me you probably never seen Hawaii other than google. Fun Fact: Hawaiis cops hasn't been local in over 20yrs because of corruption, so the validation you were seeking is a bad as your food taste.
Sam Boyd opened up his hotels to Hawaiians and welcomed them with their beloved food.
So happy he did! The Hawaiian influence around Vegas is awesome! Thanks for watching!
I have been going to California Casino since moving here to Vegas in 1985 until now to eat the yummy Hawaiian 🌺 food there.
It was my pleasure serving you !!
OH! It was very nice and you were great! Thank you!
Have you tried pretty much all the food there what do you like?
dude I'm glad I stumbled onto your vids. Thanks for not being some pretentious asian who has to act like a clown or trying to fit into "white" society. keep being yourself, and 50K subs are right around the corner. Also, I love that grin when the food is awesome.
Happy you found the channel as well! Glad you enjoy the videos and my personality! I was a lot more obnoxious when I was younger I think lol. Thanks for watching!
I am Mexican and mom always cooked Mexican food. One item she included in the menu was SPAM. She would slice it and fry it in its own fat and then add Salsa Del Pato and cook for a few minutes and served it with corn tortillas. It's tasty. Give it a try.😊😊
That sounds really good! Pan fried with tortillas sounds like a solid combination to me! Thanks for watching!
that fried chicken looks delish...
It was really good! Thanks panjo!
Enjoyed the video.🤠
Happy to hear! Thanks for watching Vickie !
This is on a short list for next week when I am in town! thanks for your perspective as always.
Nice! I hope your enjoy your visit and have a fantastic trip to Vegas! Thanks for watching!
Terrific video!
Thank you very much!
I’d go with the fried chicken, fish or teriyaki beef. Thanks Shin for another great vid !
Yes! Honestly, you get all of those with the Zip Pack. It's really the way to go. Thanks for watching!
Fried Chicken -
Spaghetti -
Zip Pac-
I love these emojis Shin!
Oh wow I didn't even announce my channel membership yet and you got in there! Thank you! Much appreciated! Hope you enjoy the emojis and badges!
That fried chicken and teriyaki beef looked delicious! 👅
They were really good! Thanks for watching!
Shin, speaking of Spam Korean brand Beksul is less salty. I love Beksul luncheon meat. Try it if you haven't yet.😊
Oh, I have not tried Beksul spam. I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Thanks!
Hopefully, they'll add the loco moco to the menu later. That's our favorite. We've been to the one in Hawaii and couple of times and each time the loco moco was the winner. it was recommended by a local from the rent-a-car place.
Definitely one item I was hoping was on the menu when I went as well. I'll definitely have to try it once they expand to their full menu. Love loco mocos. Thanks for watching!
ty for sharing looks good
Glad you enjoyed Claire! Thanks for watching!
WOW I DEFINITELY HAVE TO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT ON MY NEXT VEGAS VISIT. EVERYTHING REALLY LOOKS SO GOOD. THANKS FOR SHARING ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO. KEEP UP THE MAGNIFICENT WORK SHIN👍🏼😁👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Glad you liked it Tracey. I enjoyed myself here. Thanks for watching!
I think I will wait to try this restaurant until they get the recipes down pack and full menu.
I think that's smart. They got a good thing going now but I'm curious what the full menu will be like also. Thanks Christine!
Glad to see the free refills on the soft drinks. That seemed to be a hot topic with your Luger video😅. That bean soup looked fantastic as well as the macaroni salad. Great vid as usual.
Haha, yes I would have been very surprised if they did not offer free refills on soft drinks here. The bean soup and mac salad were really good! Thanks for watching!
Definitely one of the best new food vloggers to pop up on my feed! Its refreshing listening to someone articulate and charismatic. Keep up the great work, looking forward to watching your growth!
Welcome to the channel! I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the videos! Thanks for watching!
Love your channel.
Really happy to know you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
VWS: Yes had my honeymoon lunch at Zippys lol. Thanks for going there it brought wonderful memories for me.
That's awesome! Nothing quite like a Hawaiian honeymoon! Glad my video could bring back some good memories for you! Thanks for watching!
@VegaswithShin Hey also wanted to say congrats on a growing subscriber base.
@algernon5776 thank you very much Al!
Another great review Shin. Small, but nice menu options. That teriyaki beef looked super appetizing. Thanks for your honest review!
The teri-beef was great. The fried chicken was my favorite. I'm looking to go back when they have their full menu available. I was hoping to try more island classics like loco-moco and kalua pork. I hope it's good when they get to all of their offerings. Happy you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
Great review, Shin! Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much!
Great review, I haven’t seen you try Straight Up Cafe yet. One of my favorite hawaiian spots as well as Lefty J’s
I have a long list of places to try from viewer suggestions and I just don't know when I'll get to all of them, but I've been told about Lefty's. I'll put Straight Up on the list as well. I might have to look into how I can do 2 videos a week with all the great suggestions. Thanks for watching!
Zippys chili with the 100% beef hotdogs from Costco is the winnah.
Omg that sounds perfect!! I'm going to do that. Thanks for watching!
The zip pac looks like the way to go. I fell in love with the spaam in Maui.Yum
Zip pac is definitely the way to go! I grew up on spam so I definitely enjoy it, glad you do too! Thanks for watching!
Put fried chicken in the conversation and I’m in! You never disappoint! Stay hungry.
The fried chicken was easily the best dish I ate for this video. It was really good! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the review of Zippy's. I've been looking forward to this one. Looks good and I think we'll definitely add this one to our bucket list!
Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you enjoy your visit to Zippy's! Maybe they'll have their full menu by the time you go as well! Thanks for watching!
I’d be interested if you went back for breakfast. I think when in Hawaii I would try this place, but I’ll pass when in Vegas. Thanks for trying!!
Maybe I'll make a supplemental video to cover the breakfast. I was thinking I would eventually return once the full menu is implemented to try more dishes and I can put more of the breakfast into that video as well. Thanks for watching!
Great review Shin! When you go back, if they have their OG menu available you should get their Chili-Moco with Malasadas for dessert! Thats my go-to in HI 😎🌺🌴
I'm very curious what their full menu will be like when they decide to go for it. Maybe I'll make a return for that. I'll keep the chili moco and malasadas in mind! Thanks for watching!
I want to go to Zippy's one day. Just waiting a bit for it to calm down a little since they just opened up. All the food looks so good. I want to have the oxtail soup but I can't have it due to a peanut allergy :(
It was crazy busy the first few times I tried to go but it's not too bad right now. I really liked the fried chicken it was really good! Thanks for watching Jerry!
Every time I've been to Hawaii, I never made it to Zippy's. My brother used to live there and liked it a lot. Might have a chance to try it in Vegas now unless I can make it back to Hawaii before then! Great review as always!
Certainly easier getting to Vegas from the continental USA than Hawaii I think and they got some good food here. I'm curious to try it on Hawaii also. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
Once again..great review..i ❤ napoleons pastry too
Glad you enjoyed! Ooh, I'll have to keep the napoleons in mind for my next visit! Thanks for watching!
Hello Shin Been Waiting On This because I know you going to give us a variety of the menu 😂 Happy Saturday.😊
You know how it goes in my videos :) Happy Saturday to you as well Christine!
Oh Ive heard good things about the CodFather too
Cod Father is a restaurant I've heard of in my comments also. I'll have to check them out one day. Thanks for watching!
You are killing it Shin. Great videos - keep up the good work!
Thank you very much!
Looks like overall good food from Zippy's Las Vegas. The Korean fried chicken would be the entree I would try. Great video.
The Korean fried chicken was very tasty! Thanks for watching!
THE FOOD LOOK DELICIOUS TOO MY FRIEND
Yes! It was very tasty! I really liked their fried chicken, I thought it was so good! Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin YOU ARE VERY WELCOME TOO MY FRIEND
It's interesting to see this review of Zippyʻs in Las Vegas by someone who's never eaten at one of the 22 Zippyʻs in Hawaiʻi compared to Locals from Hawai'i or frequent visitors to Honolulu who have often eaten at Zippy's. I grew up eating all of these dishes at Zippy's in Hawai'i (the Korean fried chicken is my favorite), so it's kind of funny to see someone experiencing and commenting on them for the first time. I think a lot of the food will appeal to Asian tastes because of their roots in the immigrant population in Hawai'i. I know old-time fans of Zippy's can't wait for the full menu (and daily specials) to come out so you can choose from the large variety of other dishes. BTW, for dessert, you should try the Apple Napples (best when heated in the microwave) and the malasadas. Also many other delicious cakes from Zippy's Napoleon's Bakery -Hope they serve the haupia (coconut) cake. And in case you didn't know, when Barack Obama comes back to Hawai'i and heads for Zippy's, he always gets the Zip Pac!
I'm glad you enjoyed! I'll keep the dessert recommendations in mind! I think l will eventually make a follow up video once their full menu comes out. Maybe one day, I'll try Zippys in Hawaii and it'll be the reverse! Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin If you're a foodie Korean from Las Vegas, you definitely should visit Hawai'i to try out the local kine grindz (good eats). I'm sure there will be a lot of things you'll like and probably many things that are familiar to you. Actually, as other Hawai'i locals have commented, Zippy's doesn't have the GEST plate-lunch type of food, but it's better than the usual fast food and like comfort food to most of us. In the past couple of years, people have complained Zippy's is much more expensive now (like everything) and they stopped giving discounts to seniors, There are also many other places where you can get really good "Local food" of all kinds these days. Lots of videos on CZcams.
As for Zippy's, check out this video with Amanda & Felix Eats (See more of their videos before you visit Hawai'i) with a Filipino foodie CZcamsr Jaycation from San Diego and Las Vegas on his first visit to Zippy's. I think you can relate to his reactions and learn a lot from Amanda & Felix. You might even contact them for a collaboration when you do visit Hawai'i!

@@VegaswithShin You definitely should visit Hawai'i if you're an Asian foodie CZcamsr from Las Vegas. I think you'll find lots of connections and things you can relate to. Actually, as other people from Hawai'i have commented, Zippy's does not have the BEST local food in Hawai'i, but it is an old establishment that most people grew up with and the food they serve is like familiar comfort food and conveniently located all over the island of O'ahu. That's why I can see Hawai'i people happy to see Zippy's in Las Vegas. Hawai'i people also complain it has become much more expensive with smaller quantities (like everywhere), and during the pandemic, they stopped discounts for seniors and specials. However, they are still pretty popular and their frozen food is available for shipment or for sale in other places like California and Las Vegas. Nowadays there are many other very good restaurants, food trucks, and food fair vendors that sell delicious and often reasonably-priced "plate lunch" type of local food (check out the many videos on CZcams), and I'm sure you'd have a good time filming some food tours. You might think about doing a comparison of oxtail soup around the island.
For more advice on where to eat, there are many Hawai'i food vloggers, and I recommend Amanda & Felix Eats if you haven't seen their videos yet. I think you might like their visit to Zippy's during the pandemic (the second part of this video) with a Filipino foodie CZcamsrJaycation from San Diego and Las Vegas who was trying Zippy's for the first time. I think you'll relate to his reactions and learn some things from Amanda & Felix. Enjoy!

Hey Shin! I'm glad you went to Zippy's! I'll be visiting Las Vegas again next month and will try it out. 😁🤗👻
I was happy to try it out! There was so much buzz about this restaurant and the few times I went by before making this video the line was absolutely insane. I'd try to visit during slightly off hours like in the middle of the afternoon. I only waited about 10 minutes for a table but I hear it's still an hour or more of a wait during standard dining hours. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching!
This is on my list of new places to try. We have a regular places we eat at. 😂
It's worth checking out! But it's always nice having our regular spots for sure. Thanks for watching!
this is a great review and the food looked really good and the prices are very reasonable for being in las vegas ,thank you very much
Glad you enjoyed the video! I liked my meal here. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin thank you
That fried chicken and the garlic bread looked really delicious. I agree, a good quality beef hot dog has to have a good spring and chew to it. We used to eat Spam sometimes as a kid. My.mom would grill the Spam and then cook it in a sweet and sour sauce with pineapple. It was quite tasty. I keep some cans of Spam on hand as they have a long shelf life and come in handy for emergencies. Thanks for the review.
The fried chicken was absolutely the best thing I ate at Zippy's. Spam has a bad rep for those who haven't had it but I love the stuff! And it's such a perfect emergency food to have cans on hand for sure! Thanks for watching!
😊I'll try Zippy next time I go to Vegas...in 2 months
Maybe they'll have their full menu by then, though I'm not sure what their timeline is. I hope you enjoy your visit and have a great trip to Vegas!
It's finally getting colder outside...it's dropping down 25° from 80° lucky for me, I don't have to go outside since I'm homebound 😋...will do buddy, see you Sat. 👍
That is so smart for them to have a partial unveiling of menu first...to split it up. LOLL But if I was visiting during this time, I'd be disappointed b/c I'm similar to what you coined, "Every restaurant's a buffet if you're willing to pay." I'd want to order it now instead of waiting for my next trip to Vegas. LOLL In any case, thank you again for honest review!!
It's smart for their business long term for sure. Bad reviews up front will be remembered, but no one will remember a phased rollout in the long run. I did like what I ate though so I'm looking forward to trying them again when the menu is expanded. Thanks for watching GL!
yes I was stationed in Hawaii went to Zippys a lot for teriyaki beef burger. 😊
OOOH! I can imagine a teriyaki beef burger from Zippy's being really good. I'll have to try it when the full menu becomes available. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review Shin I like Hawaiian food but it's not a big thing for me, but anyway have you ever thought about making T-shirts to promote your channel and what not, You could write on one of them "Every restaurant is a buffet if you're willing to pay" and you could put all your channel info on the shirt with a image of you standing to the side with a big smile on your face.😊😊😊
Another Idea for a shirt would be to write "Nice guys finish first" and then putting all your channel info on that shirt as well they would sell like hot cakes.😉😉😉 Now a quick question for you off the record how is the inflation situation in Las Vegas is it bad... I'm asking because I moved out of the states months ago because of the inflation and I'm not coming back unless I'm visiting Vegas and California.... well we'll catch you on the next video.😋😋😋😋
I've been thinking about doing a merch line. I've got a pretty busy year so if I do it likely wouldn't happen until next year. I feel like inflation is about the same as everywhere else I guess. My parents live in California so I go back to see them once every month or two and prices all seem to be rising relatively at the same rate. Thanks for watching!
Great review of Zippy's...great selections but it's not for me (sorry)...glad you enjoyed your meal 😊...till next Sat., have a fabulous week 😘🤗❤
Glad you enjoyed the video Jade! Have a great week and see you next Saturday!
Hi Shin ...thanks for this review. Think I will pass on Zippy's, but enjoyed your review 👍
Happy to save you the trip! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching Allie!
Go Shin go! Not a fan of Spam but the chicken looks good on your Zip Pac. And not to be crass, but $15 bones for that weiner and chili, which looked like a big pile of something I saw on the ground this am at my nasty train station here in L.A. 😮😂😂😂
Lmao! The fried chicken was the best dish I had for sure and I'd be happy to get it again. I'll definitely skip on the chili frank lol. Thanks for watching!
How long was the wait to be seated there. On the Zip pack what did you like more, beef or chicken??
I got there around 3:30pm and I waited 10-15 minutes probably. The fried chicken is easily the best part of the Zip Pack followed by the teri-beef. Thanks for watching!
Shin, great as always. What's that translucent yellow thing on the Zip Pac? It looks like some kind of gelatin.
Glad you enjoyed the video! That was a slice of pickled radish. Thanks for watching!
💙💙💙
Thanks for watching!
Shin - looks great for quick service food - have loved Hawaiian food ages living near Torrance & Gardena. Did you see any Kalua Pork dish? Maybe later to introduce.
No kalua pork on the menu from what I saw. I imagine it will come at a later phase but I don't know the Zippy menu in Hawaii so I'm just guessing. I am looking to try more when the full menu is implemented. Hopefully it's all good! Thanks for watching!
Oxtail sounds sounds delicious!!!
Yes the oxtail soup was good, I enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
I like how you describe the food
Thank you very much!
You may wanna consider reviewing the grand lux cafe In the Venetian They give good portions And I think their food's pretty decent Try the shrimp scampi I'm looking forward to seeing this My new subscriber and I really like watching you eat
I was saying I'm a new I was saying I'm a new subscriber I don't know why but when I was talking and I have this computer spelling messing up
i only hope that's a redondos hot dog in the chili ! but most of the dishes look authentic although i like when the mac salad stays in the shape of the scoop
Yes! There's something about having the shape of the scoop for the mac salad that just feels right! Thanks for watching!
Not ham in the Portugese Bean Soup but Portugese Sausage, local Hawaiian slightly sweet/spicy sausage, maybe closer related to longanisa? Some brands available for shipping to U.S. mainland include...Gouvea's Sausage & Kukui brand Sausage...
Oooh, good to know! It was definitely some kind of pork and it added a nice smokey salty flavor. I haven't seen Gouvea's or Kukui before but now I'll know if I see those brands. Thanks for the info and for watching!
@@VegaswithShin....Can substitute chorizo also....
🎸Zippity doo Dah😂
Zippity hey! My oh my! What a wonderful day! Thanks for watching!
next time you eat oxtail soup, add shoyu to the ginger and dip the oxtail meat in it
Oh! Good tip! I'll keep that in mind! Thanks for watching!
There is a type of Chinese restaurants that you don't find in Vegas (yet) - Chinese restaurants owned by Chinese from Korea. Their signature house dish = dry braised bone-in chicken 幹烹雞 (the TRUE kfc in my foodie book).
Is that a different style of cuisine than what they serve at Yuxiang on Rainbow blvd? I'm not familiar with the chicken dish.
@@VegaswithShin Just checked Yuxiang yelp page,... looks similar to their chili garlic chicken but bone-in and less wet. Next time you go, show them the Chinese name of the dish, "乾烹雞". It's amazingly good (boneless is just not the same.)
@@papagen00 got it thanks for the tip!
Shin can you do Island Flavor on Durango next? That place is the absolute best in LV.
I'll add it to the list! Though the list is very long now and I wouldn't get to it until 2027 at this point. I've been tossing around the idea of doing a 2nd video a week that focuses more on local eats and keep my Saturday videos for more touristy locations like on the strip and downtown but I have to figure out how to manage the time necessary. It's possibly on the way though! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@VegaswithShin Bro you gotta add it to the top of your list (behind the new restaurants lol). I used to be a local, and you'll wonder why it's taken you so long to discover it. Fluffy (Gabriel Iglesias) calls it his favorite restaurant in Vegas... it's not for the faint of heart! (pretty much... heart attack imminent)
I'll eat the Oxtail soup at Cali then!! I prob will skip the deserts, though as I'd rather put money into better deserts.
The oxtail soup at the Cal is just magic! I like the fact that you get dessert included if you get the meal here. Thanks GL!
Ohhhh, right. The straw berry sundae? I can't to come back!!!@@VegaswithShin
Prices look reasonable FOR LAS VEGAS not middle America but thats win if your visiting Las Vegas. Obviously if you go there for the Spaghetti with rich meat sauce you need your head checked. I am sure that rich meat sauce for the Spaghetti is amazing but you can get that at Olive Garden. You go here to experience Hawaii and the culture and cuisine. I have been to one in Hawaii on a visit and it was AMAZING. Do not get scared on some of the dishes they offer like Oxtail Soup, a lot of people have never tried it, but they make it so %^&m good you have to try it.
The Hawaiian dishes were definitely the stars here. Picky eaters have some more run of the mill options but I really enjoyed the island classics. Really love the vibe at Zippys as well. Thanks for watching!
No Moco Loco? Bummer. "All Hail Shinster".
Yeah, looks like it'll be the next phase of menu. Thanks for watching mafatone!
Mix the should and ginger a d dip the ox tail in the sauce than eat ono.
Fantastic tip!! I'll try it. Thanks for watching!
Please try Spaghetti Western
I have Spaghetti Western on the list though the list is getting really long now and suggestions are starting to go into the 2027 spreadsheet. I'm considering trying to do a 2nd video a week that will be more focused on local eats and my Saturday videos remain more touristy and focused on the strip/downtown but the time investment would be insane for a hobby. But I am thinking about it. Thanks for the suggestion Tania!
Put aloha shoyu in ground ginger and dip some oxtail meat is so ono
Yes! I've heard similar comments and I will do so next time. Thanks for watching!
You'll SKIP THE WIENER and I'll SKIP THE $26 SOUP 😋
Lmao! Deal!
I hate them for putting the calories on there 😆
LOL! I know what you mean! Can't I just eat in peace and worry about my waistline after and not before? Thanks for watching!
It must be nice to try all those great food places, I am so jealous.
It is pretty great doing food vlogs. Thanks for watching!
Awesome review as always! Zippy's is one of my favorite places to go to, go there quite often. Check out Amanda & Felix Eats channel for more local Hawaii foods. Mahalo.
I just recently came upon Amanda and Felix's channel and they've got some really great stuff! It's been a long time since I've been to Hawaii but the next time I go, I'll definitely be doing a lot of research on their channel. Thank you for watching! Mahalo!
good review, that place would be a hard pass for me
Glad you enjoyed the video and happy to save you the trip! Thanks for watching!
4:22 26 dollars??? Ummmmmm 🙄 no!
It's quite pricey! Thanks for watching!
Everything looked great except the spaghetti. It literally looked like the picture (like it was made out of plastic) but everything else looked tasty 🤤
The spaghetti wasn't awful but just feels like a waste going to Zippys to get it when you can get phenomenal spaghett ati many places in Vegas. Really liked the Zip Pack meal. I love variety and it's so perfect for me. Thanks for watching!
Wasn't cheap
Nothing is cheap nowadays. I'm curious how the prices compare to the Zippy's in Hawaii since I've never tried any Zippy's out there. Thanks for watching!
I prefer.....ONO 1 Hawaii restaurant
Cool, I'll add it to my list of places to check out. Thanks for watching!
I dunno but from your review you didnt seem impressed. Seems over priced for cheap food. lol
It was generally pretty good. I think the fried chicken was easily the best dish there. I actually love the vibe inside. But I'm looking forward to when they get more Hawaiian staples on the menu like kalua pork and Loco Mocos. Thanks for watching!
$26 oxtail soup...no thank you. Price is ridiculous.
I only have 3 frames of reference for how much I think this should cost. First time I had oxtail soup was at the California Hotel in downtown for $28 and it was incredible. The 2nd time was in this video for $26 and it was pretty good. I know oxtails go for about $12/lbs at my local grocer but I'm not going to put in the 5 hours it takes to make the recipe. I also don't have to worry about the cost of doing business to make it myself. So somewhere in the middle there is a fair price I guess. Thanks for watching!
thats raw peanut not garlic
Yes, it was peanut! I didn't taste any more of the soup outside of what you saw on the video and I realized a few days ago when I had the soup for lunch that it was peanut. Thanks for watching!
Seems a little pricey chief!
I'm not sure how it compares to prices at Zippy's in Hawaii, but it's certainly more expensive than the many local mom and pop shop Hawaiian eateries around town. Thanks for watching!
I’m sorry, it just looks average for a lot of money. I always enjoy your videos though.
The fried chicken was the stand-out and really good. I thought everything else was good enough. I wouldn't be offended eating here, but I'm more looking forward to when they add their full menu and I can see some more Hawaiian dishes. Thanks for watching D!
I enjoy your videos...But I feel your tag line "every place is a buffet if you can pay" is a bit elitest and pretentious...Just my opinion but who can afford to do that in this economy?
I appreciate the feedback. I understand the sentiment, but I do want to be clear: It's not if you CAN. It's if you're WILLING. I was very deliberate with my word choice. You watch my videos from Vegas so you see the large bills, but it's not about affordability. Have you ever gotten a combo at a fast food restaurant but added something that wasn't part of the combo? You were willing to go beyond the standard meal to taste something else or eat more of something. Maybe you haven't, but I certainly have and I'm taking that mentality to my videos. Some people will feel a certain type of way, but that can be said about every word anyone says. I do appreciate the concern, but enough folks seem to enjoy it as a catch phrase that I'll keep it going. I do appreciate the concern and feedback though. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin You are comparing apples and oranges...You aren't at "fast food" places...You are deliberate for a reason. You know exactly what you are saying and what you are doing...What was the total cost of this meal in your video? How about your last video? Be honest...These places are not fast food and you know it.
@@joep.7123 Oh I see you. You think my motivation is to flaunt wealth which is why you're so focused on the dollar amount as opposed to trying to see what I was doing with the analogy. When I go to McDonalds, I order a Big Mac combo, a McDouble, and a 6pc nuggets with BBQ and Sweet n Sour sauces because I like variety of flavors and I eat a lot. It's not to flex spending $15 on the guy behind me in the drive thru spending $7. Variety is the spice of life and viewers like seeing a lot of dishes in the videos. I came up with a rhyme that most viewers seem to enjoy that describes the type of video that they're about to watch. You think it's apples and oranges because of the cost but I'm not looking at the cost, I'm talking about the motivation for why I'm doing it. You think it's about showing off or being elitist. But it's not that sinister, it's really simple. It's just the mentality of wanting more flavors to taste and eat, like at a buffet but you're not at a buffet.
Hoki Fish is also called blue grenadier, is a damned ugly fish that tastes good...
Oh! Gotcha! Thanks!
