    Shrimp tempura on a Korean roll w/ a side of fried rice.

    I've been on island a week. Best food I've had. Food truck located in a small park. Worth walking around the area.

    I'm not a huge fan of food trucks. I always wonder where do they go to the bathroom in there all day? But, you want some homemade fast food to go, there's a bunch of them parked in Koloa town. I trie Dim 'N' Den Sum's popular combo plate: gyoza, shumai, coconut shrimp, pork bun, egg roll, and potato mac salad ($14). Everything was tasty, and I enjoyed it. I rarely eat deep-fried food from a truck, but it was only slightly heartburn inducing, so four stars.

    These musubi bombs were one of the best meals I had on our trip. Also very reasonably priced too.

    This food truck off of Koloa (along with a congregation of food trucks nearby) was a cool find just 5 minutes from our hotel at Koloa Landing! And with a Dim Sum Deluxe pack with all the menu's offerings for just $15, the price point ain't bad either! It was a perfect shareable plate with my SO. The lady working the truck kindly cut the 1 egg roll in half for us, and we ordered a second steamed manapua (porkbun) so we each could have one. We enjoyed all the food, and struck the gong on the exterior of the truck afterwards to signal our enjoyment! Also nearby is an unbelievably large banyan tree (pictured), a congregation of chickens, and a little bit of history: the Old Sugar Mill, and memorial to those who worked the mill. Definitely worth checking out!

    Hands down, one of the best food trucks in Kauai! So good, we had to visit the food truck again before leaving the island. The owners were super nice and tentative. Food came out quick and steaming hot. The quality of the food, you can tell it's made from scratch and not frozen. We ordered the Dim Sum Pack and everything on the plate was amazing. The plate came with 2 pcs. Steamed shumai, 2 pcs. Fried lumpia, 2 pcs. Fried chicken gyoza, 1 steamed manapua. Customer service: 10/10. Food: 10/10

    I love dim sum and this quick and tasty food truck satisfied my craving as well as my girlfriend's. The food tasted fresh the service was quick and polite! Enjoyed my time eating with our chicken friends at the outdoor seating on a lovely day! Definitely recommend!

    menu changes daily.  cash strongly preferred

    Oxymoron: Kauai and Dim Sum. How about Dim sum food truck in Kauai? Open 11am-3pm, or earlier if they run out of food. Menu changes every day. Ordered the $10 Dim Sum Pack. Ready in about 7 minutes. Comes on a paper plate covered with aluminum foil. The 2 pork shumai came with maximum meat, under a tightly wrapped won ton skin, but not too much flavor until you put soy sauce on it. The char-siu pork manapua was oversized with dough, but had a decent pork filling taste, definitely on the sweet side. The 2 shanghai lumpia was almost too thin to see the meat inside, and had too much outer covering for the amount of meat inside. The 2 shrimp tempura were fine, a bit dry as to be expected, and went well with the sweet chili dipping sauce The 2 pork gyoza was also a bit dry, and on the small side, but tasty. Disappointed that they have no pork belly bao today. Best dim sum in Kauai? Yes, but only because it is the only dim sum in Kauai.

    The best food truck design!

    I was recommended this food truck from a local I met in Waikiki. She said this food truck had the best dishes. She was right! We ordered the dim sum pack, the furikake fries, and the mahi sandwich. The dim sum pack was very tasty. It includes har gow, a char siu bao, fried potstickers, ebi fry panko shrimp, and spam fried rice. All of the food we ordered was delicious. If you order the mahi sandwich, I highly recommend ordering it with avocado. The furikake fries were nice and crispy, and the sauce was a perfect balance. The furikake gave it a nice umami flavor. The owner is so kind and friendly! Please be kind to her and say hello. She also provides you with a wide selection of sauces for your food. We were able to eat our food at some park benches by the truck. It was a nice shaded area, shared with a few other trucks. Enjoy the nice scenery while you have your meal!

    Located in a park with multiple other food trucks, but only half were open on a Monday. I wanted something different than the norm so I chose Dim n Dem Sum. Met all my expectations for a satisfying lunch. I chose the shumai stick (3 steamed pork dumplings topped w/wasabi aioli and green onions) and eggrolls (pork and vegetables). I was worried that the wasabi aioli might be very spicy but it was very mild. Everything was flavorful and filling. Service was a one-woman show and she handled it! She had my food out faster than the truck my husband ordered from. The area is surrounded by lots of tables, plenty of shade and so many hens and their chicks. I was even visited by a red crested cardinal which is exciting for a bird nerd like me

    Pork belly bao

    Yoshi is amazing. He catered my family and friends of 50 people and not only did he not disappoint, he blew everyone away with the quality of taste, freshness and not to mention incredible hospitable service. Only thing I wish I had done differently was order more pork belly bao!!! We had poke, kenji burgers, ginger fried chicken, coconut shrimp, short ribs, chicken katsu and more. This is my fifth time eating from Yoshi and Dim n Den Sum and definitely won't be the last time. Top recommendation for anyone visiting the island and well worth the drive from the north shore.

    This truck is sooo good. Friendly people making tasty food in beautiful south Kauai. Please do yourself a favor and come here when in Koloa. If I'm ever back in Kauai, I'm definitely coming by here again.

    We had chicken katsu, gyoza, and furikake fries. All excellent, went back for more fries 2 days later, and will be back again.

    Food is great order ahead if you can. Such a sweet and friendly couple run the place. If you have instagram check hours of operation.

The chicken had a nice flavor and was nice and hot when it was served. The food was good, but not worth waiting over an hour in my opinion. You can make your own judgments, depending on how much time you have. We stopped by Leong's in Coconut Marketplace on a Sunday, which may have had something to do with the service. Plus, Kauai is a very small island and I was not expecting big city service speeds. However, it did take over an hour for us to get our food. That seems long, even for a small restaurant on a small island. We got to the restaurant and had to wait about 10 minutes for a table; not an issue. Once we got seated, we got water and coffee very quickly; not an issue. But when a large table (that was seated since we got to the restaurant) got their food after we had been waiting for 30 minutes, we started to get a little worried. The whole restaurant experience lasted about an hour and a half, and only about 20 minutes of that was eating. There were only two human waitstaff (and one robot which seemed kind of cool but mostly like an inconvenience to the workers), so I can understand somewhat. We also may have felt more pressured because we had to be somewhere after lunch.

The employee who took my order was rude and even yelled at me because she couldn't hear me over the loud music playing in the food truck. I ordered the poke bowl special, which was supposed to come with their famous tots, but the tots were missing from my order. I considered going back to ask for them, but honestly, I didn't because I was worried the employee would be even ruder than she was when I placed my order. I also tipped 20% because I truly believe in taking care of people who work in the service industry. We also tried the katsu musubi and the fried musubi, and all three dishes were absolutely delicious. We've visited both locations, and while the food was excellent at each, the Poʻipū location lacked the warm, welcoming spirit you'd hope to experience while visiting Kauaʻi. That said, much aloha to Kauaʻi. We had a wonderful trip and can't wait to come back.
