Owner is so sweet and talented! Food is delicious. Salty and flavorful. I had the dim sum plate and another with fried chicken. The coconut shrimp is the best I've had. It's a good truck next to several others under a beautiful tree and surrounded with greens and chickens!

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

Musubi Poke Bombs

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

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.

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!

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!

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

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

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!

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.

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.

It was great to know that there was an elevator to bring us up to the level of the restaurant…read more After a terrible experience at another restaurant, it gave me the idea to call and see if they had an elevator near by. The front desk staff guided me to the elevator. This trip was for my birthday. In every reservation when asked about a special occasion, I put birthday. This was the first restaurant to acknowledge my special day. The check-in staff wished me well as did the server. We had been to several restaurants prior to Eating House that didn't say a word. Kudos to the staff for its kindness. The restaurant is open air and very comfortable. It has a rustic feel. We were seated by the window on a cool, rainy night but were perfectly dry the whole evening. On top of that, our server was very helpful in guiding us to order the right amount of food. He brought us a serving of edamame which is always on the house. The shrimp & pork potstickers were very good. I had the ramen which was tasty, filling and a great choice. Our server was terrific to put the spicy oil on the side which made it easier for me to eat. My husband had the butterfish which is the best I have ever tasted. It is a signature dish and always a pleaser. The only real downside is the limited menu. We were told that because of a staff shortage, it wasn't the typical menu. This was disappointing. But they did have the best of the Roy's dishes. So far, it has been the best experience that we have had in Poipu.

My family and I went here for dinner and the waiter was great! He was very thorough explaining all…read moreof the dishes. Unfortunately, the pastry chef was not there that night but there is a great ice cream shop near by! This restaurant is great for hosting large parties as there were several including our own. I ordered the spicy ramen. I have a lower tolerance for spicy food but thought this was pretty mild. It's a 4/10 on the spice scale. It was so good and the serving size was very large, I would definitely order again!!

We arrived in Koloa starving and eventually deciding on Kenji's--and I'm so glad we did. We were…read moregreeted by a lovely hostess and quickly seated on their beautiful patio. The "wood lanai" vibe and umbrella tables offer the perfect mix of shade and island breeze. The standout discovery was the Kauai beef which is local grass-fed beef. You can truly taste the difference--it's incredibly fresh and light. My younger sister ordered the Kenji-style Loco Moco, and since she couldn't finish it, I happily stepped in. It was phenomenal. My older sister enjoyed the Kenji Burger, though she mentioned it was a bit heavy on the sauce (pro tip: that extra sauce makes for an excellent French fry dip!). I opted for the 3-taco appetizer. While the tacos were a bit on the small side, the oversized side salad helped fill the gap. Between the great atmosphere, friendly service, and quality local ingredients, this was the perfect first meal on Kauai.

We've been to the other Kenji Burger on the northside, so we knew what to expect when coming here…read more However what I did not get the last time was this Misoyaki fish sandwich. Black Cod has got to be one of the fattiest, tender, and delicious fish to ever swim the oceans. The sandwich was perfect. As always, the shoestring fries are nice and crispy, and they pair well the beer they have on tap. Service was decent. Nothing extraordinary. But sat down promptly, ordered quick, and food was out fast. No BS. It's probably a benefit to hire younger kids who don't really care, I loved it; no BS. All outdoor/covered seating like you're in a Lanai. Love that style. Really brings a vibe inside. The Giant TV also helps should the games be on. However the speaker was busted. It was cracking on high notes, and was very, very annoying. I asked the server to please turn it down, and she did, and it still cracked. So management, get that fixed. Will most likely be back, as its the solo burger joint in the area, and it does NOT let you down!
