[Music] good evening everybody we are here in Las Vegas we are for a special Hawaiian and Japanese eats Off the Strip Edition MH and where are we starting out uh we are starting at zippies we came to zippies when it first opened and so the menu was semi-limited I mean had still a lot of stuff on the menu but it was some limited now it's been open for a while they've added a lot different things on the menu and we're going to try some out yes so there's a lot of people it's 10:00 at night it and this place is hopping it is so let's go in and put our names in yes hi it's about a 30 or 40 minute wait for a table but no wait for the counter right so we decided to sit at the counter we're looking over the menu everything available when you go sit down is available at the counter so they have these here now it is late tonight and these are until 9:30 so we're going to find out we wanted this special here so we're going to find out hopefully they still have it available we'll see but we have some backups in case we do mhm and I believe the two items are trying I know one of them was for sure new the other one I'm not sure but we'll find out yeah well I've never had it so you know yeah we'll see if they have the specials though yes all right so these specials here they really stop at 9:30 it's past 10:00 right now or if they sell out beforehand then it's no longer available but we got this right here that kakua pack yeah that's something new right there mhm and we got the zip omelette which is the one right over here somewhere huh baby right there that's a new one as well all right uh they do have some desserts left we do and we did get some Portuguese beans soup uhhuh so we're going to order the desserts after the meal this Portuguese bean soup has ham hawk in here you can see it has cabbage it has noodles in here has some of those what are those beans b um kidney beans a little kidney beans kidney beans let's go ahead and try this out that's delicious it's made on the thick side so it's nice and Hearty this is the cup they use also have a barge or a bowl version too oh look at all that meat in here that's a big piece of ham big pieces of ham let's go ahead and try out this [Music] ham that's a delicious soup You' tried it at Kings before and there sometimes is a little bit salty this one isn't at all this is perfectly done this is one of the new items they have on the menu this is a zip omelette this one has Portuguese sausage in it and it has hams pieces of ham and Portuguese sausage in the omelet and it comes with two scoops of rice let's go ahead and I'm going to try this out this looks really good here we go now it is a breakfast item but they s breakfast all day and you love breakfast for dinner I do this these eggs are nice and buttery look at that cheese I probably would like the cheese melted a little bit more but it is really good even though it's not melted completely the Portuguese sausage comes out and the ham comes out yeah delicious I got the kokua pack this is a special pack offered by this zippies I don't know if they offer in the Hawaii zippies or not not sure but what what they do is each week uh they donate the proceeds from this pack to local charitable organizations so I think that's pretty cool in fact the meaning kakua means to help and to uh to to donate yeah to help and support so this is pretty amazing we have a slice of span a half a half a Frank four pieces of Portuguese sausage and four pieces of Korean fried chicken that's a good pack this is like the best of meats right here I know it's only like 1112 yeah it is is was $1.95 so yeah this looks really good I'm going to have to uh dig into this right now if you uh watch me any length of time I just can't deal with dry drywood Chopsticks I always have to go for the different water okay here we go let's try the uh let's try the Frank out this is the same hot dog they use when you get the chili and rice and they put the hot dog on it it's like a red hot dog but it doesn't have any snack it's like a soft kind of hot dog but it has a lot of a lot of weener flavor if that makes any sense I like that that doesn't sound good and Wier flavor baby yeah hot dog flavor it's got hot dog flavor so let me try some of this Korean Fried Chicken it looks very crispy than you so much oh yeah this is delicious of course you got to follow up with some rice this KFC is quickly becoming one of my favorite items from zippies it is very tender in the middle crispy on the outside and that that uh that sauce that you used on top is not spicy at all it is a little bit on the sweet side so it is delicious I love that and I'm going to save the um the Portuguese sausage and the span for you to taste out okay look at this nicely cooked Portuguese sausage I like that little Fry on top let's go ahead and try this out in fact that's the way you uh cook it at home a little bit of uh burnt edges on the [Music] outside I am in love with Portuguese sausage it is delicious has that really good fattiness to it has that really good metin as well and of course you have to get a piece of that F spam mhm this one because it's cut a little bit more thin has a really good crispy Edge to it almost like a Spam cracker spam chip oh wow yeah and a little bit of rice to follow it up it's a perfect meal whether it's breakfast luner dinner this is a perfect meal well for breakfast I would throw a couple over easy eggs right on top of here that's the way to do it and I just want to say how much rice they give you m it's the whole plate [Music] oh yeah try that you took a bite oh yeah you know we have to get dessert we did so this is something new that they have it's the chocolate hiia cake oh look that you can see the cream in there you can see the lovely cake in there it looks actually a little dry but let's try it out you know what it looks good to me [Music] not dry it all no it tastes like like a pudding cake let's see wow that's really good the haia is like the coconut cream part and the chocolate isn't too uh of a rich of a chocolate and the both that blend very well and it's not extremely sweet all cuz it looks sweet no heck no that thing is good is not dry no it's not no it's like a pudding right yeah it is it is look at that very good this is a new item on their menu yes it is oh yeah we're going to dust this off no problem at all and you know one of our favorite cakes here is a chantilli cake it is and I saw I saw somebody order it but I said hey we got to try something new we did right I'm so glad we did oh my God this is very good yeah so another one we could recommend yes is the chocolate how yes it is 11:00 p.m. and we are full yep and people are still waiting to seat yeah they close at midnight by the way uh 7 days a week they close at midnight here so yeah that was very good you know eating at zippies only makes me want to go back to Hawaii again yeah well we know we're free next week babe we'll see where we end up so yeah the it was extremely busy tonight but the service was still topnotch there's like several people that even checked in on us we got our meal with no weight we got our dessert with no weight yeah they're very efficient they're very efficient it was a great deal you can see the uh receipt I'll post it right here and you know for all everything we had I didn't think it was that bad no no it was good it wasn't like overthe toop food meaning it's something that you can finish uh it was yeah it was an excellent meal mhm yeah and that uh that chocolate hiia was like the Capper oh my gosh that was delicious yes now tomorrow we are going to go full Japanese we are it's going to we found some um places here yes so we got we got to try them out yeah so stay tuned and we'll see you tomorrow here we are for a Japanese lunch spot right behind us is Katsuya Tonton I know several of our viewers have recommended this place so we are finally here as you see there's already a long line queued up and you still have 10 minutes to go before they open so Lea already jumped in line that's why I have a solo opening here hope I'm doing a good job anyway I'm going to go in there and uh go join her here we go kasuya hi hi we barely sweeped in for the first eating it's a very small area it is all first come first serve there's no online weight list there's no paper sign up on or anything like that so we are lucky we got here about 15 minutes before opening CU we hear that weights can be over an hour long this is our menu wow both side this side main menu and appetizer drink inside menu sand take on Sando okay take on thank you wow this is upstanding right let's check it out um these are the right here yes I'm going to see if they have that which is like their their top one that's supposed to be like the best right and I got to get something different which I don't know yet so I'll have to look and see it gives you what I like is their menus aren't very big right and so it'll be nice to fit something and then let's see what's on the back the sand right here cut is for take out only yes we got drinks and we have some other small plates and app there some appetizers so we're going to check it out and see what we're going to order they bring you fresh Sesame so you can grind and see the bowl is textured you take it and you just grind it for your fresh sesame seed and then after you like to grind it this is the katsu sauce you can see it's a wet sauce and you spoon however much you want into your Sesame yes as you grind it it releases a nice sesame yeah as we're grinding it now we can really smell that nice Sesame and actually as everybody's grinding their Sesame you can actually smell it in the restaurant now KATU sauce is um really thick yeah it has a like a little bit of a a fruity soy orchester flavor to it and it matches the uh deep fried cutlet perfectly so you know we always call it c a sauce this is the sweet pumpkin or Kucha this is a homemade tarar sauce let's go ahead and try this out get some on there it could be tartter or like a Japanese Mayo maybe sauce to it this is delicious it's a little it's really not really on the sweet side it's a little bit sweet it is definitely on the kind of the mushy side so if you don't mind a a sweet mushy pumpkin this is the one for you nicely that what really stands out on this is this is this batter that's on top batter it's nice crunchy it feels light doesn't feel very oily at all wow this is a very good pumpkin and the tter sauce you can tell it's male and a little bit of pickle in that poter sauce that's it's a good tarter sauce these are the jumbo scallops look how nice they look in there with a little bit of sauce on top let's try this out that sauce tastes like a almost like a Sriracha mail type sauce let's try this out so it's basically two scallops to an order and they have [Music] them this is excellent extremely meaty perfectly cooked wow this is a scallop to die for you have to try these scallops they are delicious you're going to love these baby oh yeah well we like scallops so for sure now when they say jumbo scallops these are jumbo scallops look at that wow oh oh wow MH these scallops are so like tender and you know how when you overcook scallop what happens turns rubbery right they're not rubbery at all they retain the freshness you very easy to bite through hardly any chew on these scallops wow these are one of the better scallops we've had yeah you know we love the pan seared scallops but this is just a different version when you deep fry it so yeah this is delicious tastes like butter doesn't it yeah if you have a choice between the Kabota and the scallops get the scallops what I like as well is it's unlimited cabbage and so look at this cabbage right here and we got our meals and there's a giant cabbage and a giant cabbage there yeah both look like like giant uh Shave Ice right and this is a sauce for the Cabbage we're going to go ahead put this sauce right on top yeah it kind of looks like an Asian sesame Dr asan Sesame yep I have a piece of lemon here which I don't think I'm going to need going to go ahead and taste this sauce right here that's a perfect bite really good Asian dressing you taste a little bit of the sasame a little bit of a a really good Tangy sauce or Tangy dressing in there as well mixed up oh yeah I'm glad this is unlimited because this is absolutely delicious I really like this sauce or this dressing I keep on saying sauce babe this dressing on this cabbage what I have here for my lens set is that top of the line 100% birkshire P they call it black line not really sure but it's a thick cut as you can see and the same cabbage and they give you a little bit of a little side dish of vegetable of course you have rice and some dipping sauce for the pork so you have some sea salt and wasabi salt and some hot mustard but I'm not going to skip all that and I'm more of a tonkatsu sauce kind of guy where I grinded that sesame seed but I'm going to start with the Miso soup very interesting the way it looks it looks like rice but but it's not I'm sure it's not rice on top it's probably maybe some little Crumbs from the uh the tempera batter maybe yeah that's what it is it's a little leftover crispy bits from a fried batter it's really good yeah it doesn't taste water down at all it's delicious but let's just jump in to the main course that's why we're all here it's all about this thick cut tonu look at that look my my Chopstick skills kind of suck and I could barely hold this cuz look look how much pressure I'm holding on my fingers let's take a little dip in here oh oh I that's for for Here We Go I'm going to go on the records the best hon KATU I've ever had was in Torrance at a place called kagura now I know a lot of locals know that place and they even have a a quick service inside the Tokyo Central Market that was my favorite Tong cut this one just topped it what it just St it this is this is the best trunka to I've had and I even had a few in in Japan but this level of quality in this pork long yeah I I don't know what they do in birkshire I don't even know where birkshire is but they're doing something right cuz this is delicious it is tender it is moist it's everything that you want in a pork cutlet yeah this is amazing that's all I can say about that the one you got is a is a different cut it is not the thick cut birkshire mine I got the thinner cut Brookshire this one get ready to eat in fact the server said it is the top two orders yeah between mine and this one exactly I got to get my hair up for this one you know I'm down I'm ready for business now babe here we go I like how when they served it they have these here and they have of course they put one in the center facing upward let me go ahead dip it in mine now I didn't mix there's the Sesame in there I didn't mix the Tatu and sesame together I'm going to go ahead and try this [Music] out this pork in here it is perfectly cooked it's succulent it's juicy this just enhances it right here clean like this is a delicious por this is exactly like Japan Japan really has regular napkins they only have wet naps usually and this is the one that you keep throughout your meal when you're in Japan but here luckily they have regular nuggets yeah they usually only give you one not self- served like this that's true Katsuya tonone that was pretty good highly recommended get here early get here right when it opens because otherwise you can see that little behind us yeah and you know keep in mind this is a Tuesday this is a Tuesday yep and it's very small it only fits about 25 individuals in there maybe yeah maybe yeah yeah so and big parties are hard to accommodate so uh it's a great place again highly recommended yeah and I you know again I want to thank uh the subscribers that told us about this place cuz I had it bookmarked on my Yelp like forever yes yes and uh uh thank you for those guys who actually saw us online they actually watch our videos so local over here they're locals and they they'll see this when it comes up oh yeah yeah okay now we have one more place to go we are going back to Hawaii yes we are for this one yes so stay tuned again for our last place that we're going to try out brought us back to Henderson yes yes so we had uh zippies already and then we went to Japan and had the delicious katsu and now we're back in Hawaii yes and we are at Poke Express now it is a chain they have three locations they do yeah and we are at the one like I mentioned in Henderson right and they all have uh High marks on you all three locations but since we're staying at Green Valley which is only 3 miles away we thought we'd come back to this one yes and try this one out right and uh the they specialize in poke yeah so let's go try it out yeah we we've had some pretty good ones in Hawaii we have we so it'd be nice to see how this place would uh compare yeah so let's go when we first walked in we thought it might be empty cuz you can't see inside right it is to go only and we're waiting in line to order our it's packed it's packed in here so there's one counter here and yeah the line I just pan real quick it gets pretty big over here and they do have some uh Frozen stuff they do so they do have some Simon and uh of course Portuguese sausage and look at that they got uh Purity and and some other uh quickies here including the zippies the Frozen zippies uh Bean uh chili no bean chili and some la la yeah so uh yeah we're just waiting in line now last time we were here international marketplace we got this one the Shaker we forgot to take it ho it's there let's see what it is the leing powder sorry we forgot to take it on the cruise we should have taken it on the Cruis us with our fruit but they have some stuff here which is kind of cool this is delicious it's a little bit sweet little bit salty very good they have your shrimp tips your snacks your salts some NY here I have some of these at home already mhm and rice oh yeah and uh some cookies and uh some Diamond crackers crackers yeah over there yep we're almost there almost at the front here are the types they have the on that not sold out yet so here they are yeah I think we're definitely going to get this one and this one caught our eye right here the rainbow poet and they just brought this out the kimchi cucumber got to get some of that this one looks interesting the kimchi raw crab we never tried that before so if anybody has put in the comments and let us know if you recommend it for us next time uh 13 of the rainbow poke and then one3 of the kimchi cucumbers we got the goods we got the goods now there's no eating inside there no it's all to go so we're going to take it back to our hotel which is only about 3 miles away and go eat at that food court yes this is what we got from Poke Express we got the AI with masago and Mayo the kimchi cucumbers and the rainbow the rainbow has salmon and tuna with seaweed yes uh in case people are wondering what the masaga the tiny little red dots that you see it's like smelt eggs yeah little fish eggs yeah real tiny little ones right there and it's very common in when you get Poke and things like that uh everything is raw I know sometimes raw uh just doesn't sit with people so but this fish is raw this fish is raw of course it is sushi grade so it's extremely safe to eat but Pokey is usually cold and raw fish we're going to start out with the rainbow poke now this is something uh new for us of course we've had salmon and AI plenty of times but not together in one pocket and so rainbow poke is because of the different colors it's because of the salmon and the AI and the seaweed I'm going to have you try the AI baby here we go I'll try the [Music] salmon it's good oh very fresh I think he's got the uh the little eggs too the maso eggs in there that's um it's kind of crunchy it's because of those eggs they're a little bit crunchy very fresh tasting though yeah and the seaweed give that a try seaweed yep that a little [Music] saltiness it has some uh some pop to it so it's not like what you imagine would be not like a slimy kind of seaweed it's it's nice and clean and um crunchy it is it is that's actually really good yeah good flavor well together now this is oh how was the salmon you didn't say the Sal oh the salmon was very good um didn't have a strong salmon flavor of course when you want poke you want very fresh fish and this is fresh fish yeah now the AI which is the tuna is definitely sushi grade yes uh very clean no stringy like uh uh suji suji which is like strings of fat in it right yeah really good right this is the Mayo this is AI with mayo and masago which are those little eggs yeah spicy mayo is it spicy M it's coming a little bit on the back side of the tongue tast mhm M yeah it's very good very good out of the two this is my favorite M the little spicy one right it has a good spice kick to it right the again the fish is extremely fresh good shoe that's a good fish and of course you're going to finish this up with some cucumber oh yeah oh I like that a lot a these are good cucumbers M the fish is good but now go for the Cucumbers yeah even though they call it a kimchi cucumber this uh spicy a is is more spicy it is the spicy mayo yeah this is crunchy and just refreshing tasting good pette cleanser it is life it is so those cucumbers are really good really the only thing missing out of the three things we have here is some rice bow of rice yeah B of rice yeah but uh we just want to keep things uh relatively light with this cuz we're um still kind of full from lunge so this we got the smaller ones yeah this is the smallest which is the 1/3 I 1 is the smallest when you order the 1/3 you could expect this size right and they don't do poke ballls and so you can get your rice separately and then your Pok in right and I saw that they had pokin nachos yeah well that too yeah we're we're a fan of Poky nachos and stuff but we just stuck with these two plus the Cucumbers this is perfect we're going to go ahead finish this off since it's not as much and then uh we'll go ahead and close out of course uh we're going to wash it down with some Hawaiian Sun green tea mhm yeah got to have some of that we're actually looking for the Arizona they didn't carry Arizona there yeah okay yeah let's work on it okay okay that wraps up our Hawaii and Japanese tour
