Stix Asia at UnCommons: New Asian Food Hall in Las Vegas

Honolulu’s celebrated Asian food hall has arrived in Southwest Las Vegas. 12 stalls, Michelin-recognized chefs, a neon noodle alley, yakitori, Asian cocktails, and zero tourist markup. This is the one locals have been waiting for.

From Waikiki to Southwest Vegas

Stix Asia started in Waikiki as one of Hawaii’s most beloved food halls, a 23,500-square-foot Asian street market concept with 16 stalls, a devoted local following, and a reputation for bringing serious culinary talent into an accessible, communal setting. The Tokyo-based parent company VEGAS VEGAS signed the lease for the Las Vegas location in January 2025 during Lunar New Year festivities, and the Vegas version opened in early 2026 at UnCommons in Southwest Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas outpost spans 18,000 square feet and houses 12 dining stalls, slightly more curated than the original Honolulu location but built on the same philosophy. Each stall functions as its own fully realized restaurant, not just a counter. The layout is designed for clarity. Each concept has its own defined space with dining directly at or adjacent to the stall, so you always know where you are and what you are ordering. No confusing shared app systems, no QR code ordering maze. The direction here is old-school Asian hospitality: face-to-face service, live cooking you can watch, and food that comes from people who care about what they are making.

“Hospitality is the direction we want to go with here. The hospitality of Asia,” said CEO Frank Clark. “You do not need a passport for Asia. Just come to Stix Asia.”

12 Stalls, One Roof, Every Corner of Asia

The 12 stalls cover the breadth of Asian street food with regional specificity. Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, and Southeast Asia are all represented. While the full confirmed vendor list is still rolling out as stalls open, the concepts already confirmed and in place include a dedicated noodle alley with ramen and udon, yakitori counters serving skewers straight off the grill, a takoyaki station on the outdoor bar, Asian cocktails at the large indoor bar, fresh sushi and sashimi, dumplings, tempura, and dessert concepts including ube ice cream. Michelin-recognized chefs are attached to several of the stalls and the team specifically recruited culinary talent with that pedigree to anchor the hall’s credibility.

Based on what the Honolulu location is known for, expect rich brothy ramen built over long-simmered stocks, knife-cut udon in neon-lit surroundings, crispy tempura made to order, hand-folded dumplings with regional sauces, yakitori skewers charcoal-grilled and served with tare or salt, fresh rolls and sashimi-grade fish, and desserts that lean into Japanese and Hawaiian-influenced sweets. Pricing across all stalls is designed to be accessible. This is street food philosophy applied to a full food hall, not a Strip restaurant pretending to be casual.

The indoor bar is a full-service cocktail destination with an Asian-focused drink program. Expect sake-based cocktails, Japanese whisky pours, and creative builds that draw from the same regional palate as the food. The outdoor bar anchors the takoyaki counter and serves as the social center of the hall in the evening.

Street Market Energy, No Passport Required

The design blends Asian tradition with modern architecture. Think sleek materials, neon-lit noodle alley signage, open kitchen counters where you can watch every dish being made, and a layout that rewards walking the whole hall before you commit to anything. The energy is street market meets lifestyle campus: relaxed, communal, built for grazing across multiple stalls in a single visit. This is exactly the kind of place where a table of four orders from three different stalls and passes everything around.

Stix Asia also runs a full calendar of cultural events including monthly night markets, holiday celebrations, and live programming that turns the space into a destination beyond a typical meal. Think Lunar New Year events, seasonal night markets with extended vendor hours, and live music built around the cultural identity of the food hall. UnCommons itself runs a Sunday farmers market from 10am to 2pm weekly, free Pilates classes on the rooftop every Wednesday at 6pm, and regular community events that make the campus a genuine local gathering space year-round.

The Neighborhood Destination

UnCommons is an $850 million mixed-use development at the corner of Durango Drive and the 215 Beltway in Southwest Las Vegas. It is a walkable campus of restaurants, offices, retail, and residences that has become one of the best local dining destinations in the city, completely separate from Strip energy and Strip pricing. The dining lineup already includes All’Antico Vinaio (the legendary Florentine sandwich shop named by Saveur as the home of the world’s best sandwiches), Blue Bottle Coffee, Rare Society steakhouse, Salt and Straw ice cream, and General Admission, an elevated sports lounge with a 163-inch LED screen.

Stix Asia moves into the space previously occupied by The Sundry, a food hall concept that closed after just one year largely due to a confusing QR-code-only ordering system that frustrated diners. Stix Asia is the direct answer to everything The Sundry got wrong. Human hospitality, clear layout, face-to-face service, and food with genuine cultural depth. For Southwest Las Vegas residents especially, this fills a real gap. The area has grown significantly with local families, young professionals, and the kind of diner who wants great food without driving to Chinatown or fighting Strip traffic.

Go Hungry. Stay for Two Hours. Repeat.

Las Vegas has Chinatown and it has Strip Asian restaurants at resort prices. What it has not had is a dedicated Asian food hall built specifically around street food culture, community dining, and accessibility at a location that actually makes sense for locals. Stix Asia at UnCommons is that place. Twelve stalls, Michelin-recognized talent, a neon noodle alley, a full cocktail bar, and a campus full of other great reasons to make a night of it. Free parking for the first two hours means you can stay as long as you want. Go hungry, plan to graze, and budget time to walk the whole hall before you order.
