Taylorsville Restaurants: Hawaiian Plates or Dim Sum?

Salt & Seek / Taylorsville
For a meal in Taylorsville, Moki's and Red Maple solve different kinds of hunger: a Hawaiian plate built around one main, or Chinese dishes and dim sum to share across the table.
Moki's stays first in this guide for its kalua pork and chicken plates. Red Maple is the second option, with a dim sum sampler, soup dumplings and a separately priced honey walnut shrimp entree. Decide whether you want your own plate or several shared dishes before choosing the restaurant.
Choose the main for your plate
Moki's Hawaiian Grill
Moki's published descriptions make the protein choice straightforward. Kalua pork is slow-roasted and shredded with steamed cabbage. Teriyaki chicken is grilled after marinating, while katsu is breaded, fried and cut into strips. Those preparation differences give you a useful way to choose without inventing a taste review.
Start with that main, then confirm the available plate sizes and sides for the Taylorsville location. The supplied photographs show takeout presentations with rice and side salads; they should not be treated as a guarantee of every current combination.
What to order
- Kalua Pork: Slow-roasted shredded pork with steamed cabbage.
- Teriyaki Chicken: Grilled boneless chicken marinated in the restaurant's teriyaki sauce.
- Katsu Chicken: Breaded fried chicken strips served with a creamy house dipping sauce.
The official online menu retrieved for this check was a catering menu sold in increments of 15. Those amounts are not individual plate prices, so they are deliberately excluded here. Ask for the current Taylorsville plate menu when ordering.
Moki's also describes its macaroni salad as elbow macaroni with egg, mayonnaise, carrot, sweet relish and seasoning. If a side's ingredients affect your order, confirm them directly. Read our Moki's Taylorsville feature for the separate venue profile.

Dim sum and a shared entree
Red Maple Chinese Restaurant
Red Maple's official menu labels dim sum as available any time. The sampler is a practical starting point because it identifies both the items and the count: two shrimp dumplings, two siu mai and two barbecue pork buns. That is a more concrete way to start sharing than ordering an unspecified assortment.
The Shanghai Juicy Bun is a separate eight-piece soup-dumpling order. Honey Walnut Shrimp comes from the Chef's Specialties section. Keep those sections distinct: lunch and combination versions can have different portions and prices from the a la carte entree.
What to order
- Dim Sum Sampler · $11.95: Two shrimp dumplings, two siu mai and two barbecue pork buns.
- Shanghai Juicy Bun · $12.95 for eight: Steamed xiaolongbao, described on the menu as soup dumplings.
- Honey Walnut Shrimp · $19.95: The Chef's Specialties entree of battered shrimp with a creamy sauce and sugar-coated walnuts.
The sampler plus Honey Walnut Shrimp creates a $31.90 food subtotal before tax or other charges. It is an example of combining a dim sum plate and an entree, not a serving-size promise. Check what accompaniments are included rather than assuming rice comes with every a la carte order.
The official site uses a Salt Lake City postal label, while the ordering listing identifies the same street address as Taylorsville. Use 2882 W 4700 S for navigation. The supplied photographs illustrate entree presentations, not the exact dim sum sampler listed above.
