I was very disappointed with my "local fish and chips" plate. The fish did NOT taste like fish, my grandparents and I both thought that it tasted like chicken. While the breading and fries "chips" were good enough, I wanted the taste of fresh fish, which was sorely lacking in this dish. The shrimp have amazing flavor, but not splitting the back made it almost impossible to eat that dish. I'm glad "service with a smile" is just a suggestion. read more

Da Melting Pot was one of my favorite meals during my trip to Kauai. In the area, there were many different food trucks and this one caught my attention. They had a variety of different options, ranging from burgers to fresh seafood. The lady at the food truck was kind to me and answered any questions I had about the food. She described the Fish of the Day as fresh white fish which I cannot remember the name of. I was drawn to their Fish of the Day and Spicy Garlic Shrimp, so I ordered the Seafood Combo to try both! The Spicy Garlic Shrimp was filled with a lot of garlic, which I mixed into my rice. The shrimp was super fresh and juicy. The Fish of the Day was lightly fried to perfection, and I was blown away. Their homemade tartar sauce complemented the fish very well. On top of that, the portion size was beyond what I expected. I definitely recommend Da Melting Pot out of the food trucks in the area if you are looking for some delicious seafood! read more

Definitely a five star food truck. The food was excellent for a great price. Highly recommend the coconut shrimp plate. Lots of seating with umbrellas for shade. Food was ready quickly. The truck owner was easy going and helpful in making recommendations. Definitely going back for the Hawaiian burger next time. The pineapple on the burger looked nummy. read more

GOOD - ahi katsu and garlic shrimp was delicious. the salad served alongside was also good and not overly seasoned. food came out quick and hot. BAD - mahi mahi was AWFUL, inedible. It was very fishy (and I like all things fish) and mostly the vein part of the fish. I'd go back but I wouldn't order the mahi mahi again. read more

Great food. The ahi Katsu is awesome. Love the burgers All the seafood plates are so good and the owner is wonderful. read more

Amazing menu and food! It is right next to the beach. You can eat there at the picnic table with umbrellas or walk over to the ocean.

Small and unassuming! Wow owned by a single hard working mom she puts out delicious affordable creative food. Follow her on IG for times and if any changes in location. read more

Excited to finally make our way to this establishment, and wasn't terribly impressed by it. For some reason, the garlic shrimp was bland and lacked flavor...really disappointing. The burger was okay, at best, I was looking forward to a fresh Wailua beef patty but it was like a hockey puck. The young lady, perhaps was just having an off day and the lemonade was also lacking in the flavor dept. The service was great and the young lady was kind and helpful. Definitely not worth the $50+ I spent on two dishes and two drinks. read more

Food is ok, but she got some really bad attitude towards us and we don't know why. Is it bc we are Asians? "Da melting pot"? what a joke...

We had the garlic shrimp and Ahu katsu. Both dishes were really excellent. The garlic shrimp probably better than alot of the shrimp trucks in Oahu. Prices were reasonable. Overall would return again if we are ever in the area. There is an area with shaded tables nearby where you can eat with a really good scenic view. 5/5!!! read more

Amazing spot for lunch! Happy to see that they had a vegetarian option with the taro burger, which was amazing - the sweet soy sauce and sriracha aioli were perfect on it. Other orders in our group were the ahi katsu, cheeseburger, and the fish of da day and everyone walked away happy. Will happily come back next time we're in Kapaa. read more

Truly one of the best meals I've had while visiting and I will definitely be coming back here again! Their menu had specials of the day, burgers, shrimp, fried fish, loco moco, and ahi katsu. I got the seafood combo (pick 2 entrees) and everything I had was so fresh and flavorful. The fish was so crispy and the amount of butter garlic they put on the shrimp, yum! read more

Loved their Kauai garlic butter shrimp here. They open the shell of the shrimp on the sides which allowed a lot of the flavor to marinate the meat! It was so good! Salad on there wasn't necessary , i would have wish they had put a Mac salad instead. Definitely would recommend ! read more

Lava shrimp is absolutely amazing. Fresh, and full of flavor. If you came to Kauai looking for some dank garlic shrimp, this is your place. Food was so good we went back and ordered more. Rai was working the truck and was super friendly, the service was speedy. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Da Melting Pot - LAVA SHRIMP. Apologies for the half-eaten plate, we got too excited to eat. - Food Trucks Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

My girlfriend and I have been wanting to go here for a couple of months. They are closed on the weekends so it's been a challenge but it was worth the wait. We got the cowgirl and the Teri bacon blue cheese burgers and they were maybe the best burgers we've ever had. There are a couple of tables in front of the truck or you can go sit in the beach which is just right there. We will be back read more

This spot is a great Choice . I walked in with little expectations. I ordered some shrimp and rice dish . It's was delicious ! It takes time as they say . But it's quality food I would come back again ... Also friendly staff .! read more

Da Melting Pot - a plate of food on a picnic table - Food Trucks Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Wow, so glad we found this place. I had the soft shell crab sandwich and it was amazing. I think about this sandwich more than a person should. When can you really say that about a food truck. This sandwich changed the way I evaluate food. read more

The hamburger tasted like fish. Was juicy but not good at all. Wouldn't recommend for anyone who comes here. There was NO pickles and all the worker had was the house sauce which was also not good. Blud didn't have any ketchup either. Customer service was also terrible. It was outside the ambiance was fine. read more

We got the ahi katsu plate and Teri mushroom burger. It was so good we didn't get a chance to take a picture! Loved it and can't wait to go back. read more

It's crazy that the service could be worse than the food here. Every question we asked about the menu was rudely or not even answered by the staff member Brandi. She was so short and did not want to be serving customers. After receiving our food we asked for ketchup and she rudely responded "why do you need ketchup?" How does someone treat a customer like that? To top it off the food wasn't good at all. The fish was so fishy tasting-- not fresh at all. The crab sandwich had no meat. All bread. Don't waste your time. read more

Terrible, absolutely terrible. The shrimp was greasy, not cleaned and the rice was actually crunchy because it had been sitting out. I would not recommend this food truck to anyone. $13.00 for poor quality food that went in the garbage can. Date of Visit 2/22/22. read more

Outstanding soft shell crab sandwich and a tasty cheeseburger. What a find. Fantastic!

Fast service and delicious food! The ahi katsu was amazing and so was the teriyaki burger

One of the best meals we had on the island thus far tbh, the burger was loaded with toppings but a proper bun to meat ratio, so good, we got the cowgirl. Also, the crusted ahi katsu was bombbbb so fresh and flavorful. Prices are on point and the vibes are as well. If you're driving past don't hesitate to pull in! read more

OMG the BEST Ahi I ever had! So tasteful and great! The garlic shrimp were amazing too! Very reasonable and very high quality! Definitely going back before I leave island read more

Don't let the prices dissuade you! The food is excellent and you get good portions. We had the Kauai shrimp and the fish of the day. Both come with salad and rice. The owner is very nice and she makes sure you know what you're ordering- I told her I wanted the lemon butter with my fish of the day and she said "are you sure?" I said "why?" And she told me that panko-fried was the better preparation for the fish. Silly me- I thought I was selecting the dipping sauce so I quickly corrected myself and told her I definitely wanted the panko-fried style. Anyway, my wife liked her Kauai shrimp so much that we came back the next day and ordered the same dishes except, this time, she went for the Lava shrimp plate which is the spicier version read more

Great food!! Without a doubt worth going but compared to other places it's over priced.

Ahi Katsu-holy cow! You could put this on a fancy plate and charge triple! In a cluster of food trucks in Kapaa--great menu and nice lady steered me toward this. So glad she did! read more
