At Dim ‘N’ Den Sum, housemade Dim Sum is the name of the game, but that’s not all they’re serving up. For the ‘Then Some’ part of the equation, they have everything from Fried Brussel Sprouts to Chicken Katsu Plates. Weekly specials switch things up on the regular while their fan favorites stick around for loyal patrons to enjoy year-round.
To get a taste of all their delicious eats, you’ll just need to find them in South Shore Kauai. You can do that by taking a leisurely jaunt down Koloa Road, looking for a row of food trucks lined up end to end.

After that, all that’s left to do is take a few moments to explore their menu from top to bottom—Unless you already know you want Dim Sum, Tako Salad, or their other Asian street food favorites, that is. If you’d like to try something new, check out the weekly specials. Depending on their mood, you can find everything from classic Hawaiian plate lunches to imaginative burgers piled high with all the fixings.
After figuring out what you want, either hop in line or waltz up to the counter if you arrive during a rare lull.

Don’t miss out on these menu favorites at Dim ‘N’ Den Sum:
Egg Rolls
When you’re craving crispy, savory deliciousness, you cannot go wrong with the Egg Rolls. Delivered in pairs, this tasty snack features flavorful pork and veggie filling in a deep-fried wrapper. Although there’s definitely enough for sharing, you’ll undoubtedly want to keep them to yourself.
Dim Sum Pack
If you’re looking to sample all their most popular dishes in one go, treat yourself to the Dim Sum Pack. When you order this meal, you’ll get two pieces each of Shumai, Coconut Shrimp, and Gyoza. One Manapua lands alongside all that with a big scoop of Local-Style Fried Rice.
Shumai Stick
When you just feel a bit snacky but want to go big on the flavor, order up the Shumai Stick, from Dim ‘N’ Den Sum. To create this popular snack, the chef fills wonton wrappers with a rich pork filling and then steams them to perfection. Then, they put three on a stick for each order and serve it with wasabi aioli and chopped green onions.
Manapua
If nothing else will do but a handheld snack bursting with flavor, the Manapua is the way to go. The chef prepares this savory treat by cooking the char-siu pork until tender and juicy. Then, they prepare the filling, wrap it in a circle of handmade dough, and put it in the steamer. Once it’s puffed up and piping hot, they serve them up one at a time.
