Dim 'N' Den Sum — Restaurant in Kauai

Dim 'N' Den Sum catered our private post-wedding thank you beach event and they were amazing, start to finish. The food was exceptional: fresh, beautifully presented, and, most importantly, delicious! Our guests said it was the best poke they'd had on the island (and by this time, our guests had had at least two other kinds at our other previous events). My brother-in-law, a poke aficionado, got poke every single day of his eight-day stay and he said Dim 'N' Dem Sum was the best. He also said the poke on the island compared to mainland is far superior. They were very professional, responsive, and flexible during the initial stages when we were getting quotes. We reached out to MANY MANY food trucks and poke places to try to get catering, and communication with most was unfortunately unprofessional, disorganized, or non-existent. Dim 'N' Dem Sum offered exactly what we wanted. We wanted our guests to be able to have an authentic Hawaiian Food Truck experience and they came through 100%. Until Dim 'N' Dem Sum, it seemed like maybe we could get people to deliver giant platters of poke, OR, simply prepare it and we'd have to transport it and present it ourselves. Those who could deliver pretty much could not offer staffing to serve. And maybe a couple others who could potentially offer the food truck experience said they'd be open to the public as well and/or the cost would have been exorbitant. Dim 'N' Dem Sum customized a simple menu to be what we envisioned but better (poke and musubi with choice of Hawaiian macaroni salad side), they helped with the permit process, and when we were unable to schedule a dessert vendor (due to permit limitations), they suggested another Hawaiian sweet treat, did the research and communication on their own and effectively helped me out by removing that as another worry and task on my already overflowing bride plate, and provided those for us even though it wasn't something they usually offer. Before they left, they made sure we were satisfied, helped tidy up, and left us with extra food that hadn't been eaten. When I had a moment to really connect with them, they offered some tips about local beaches and eateries and I really appreciated that. Yoshi and Lynell with Dim 'N' Dem Sum are among the top vendors we worked with and that's due to their responsiveness, professionalism, service, pleasantness and kindness. Thank you, Dim 'N' Dem Sum for being an awesome part of our wedding!! (Due to being busy and preoccupied with our guests, we didn't get many pics, which I now regret, but that's the nature of getting...

This is not just the best food truck in Kauai, it's our favorite food on the island. With incredibly affordable prices and an amazing quantity of food for your buck, we walked away from our meal amazed. We got the Dim Sum Pack and the shumai were a real standout for me- they contained the most amount of meat I've ever seen packed in a tiny package and were incredibly flavorful. The gyoza and pork bun were equally divine and you cannot go wrong with a SIDE of ahi poke (spicy and savory- but not too spicy) and Singaporean noodles. I'm really not speaking in hyperbole here, this place is a gem! Side note: I also reached out via DM on instagram to the business page, and the owner was absolutely incredible- answered my question about merchandise (and even dropped my shirts off to my hotel since the truck was closed), and we've kept in touch through the rest of my trip giving food recommendations and making sure we're having a great trip. She cares about the locals and the visitors and I can't say enough about...

I pulled into the food truck village in Koloa and immediately smelled something delicious. Upon following the smell I was at Dim ‘N’ Den Sum (such a great name). I ordered the Dim Sum pack (2 pieces Shumai, 1 Manapua, 2 fried Coconut Shrimp, 2 Gyoza, side of fried rice—add egg roll for $2—and it was a perfect sample platter of most of the menu items. The gyoza were fried but not too oily, the Manapua had great flavor and the coconut shrimp with sweet chili sauce left me wanting more. The spam fried rice was delicious and the Shumai was paired with a wasabi aioli that I didn’t know I needed in my life until now. Will definitely...
