Dazzling Bistro Food Truck

I had heard good reviews of Chef Darnell's food, and contacted him fully expecting to be working with him. If you want to work with Dazzling Bistro, please be aware the pricing model is strictly cost plus. Chef Darnell does NOT work with a set budget. In our first call, I communicated our budget. We discussed some menu options, and he sent me a proposal that came in $13.8 per per person over my budget. When I reached out asking if there's a way to modify the menu to fit my budget, he wrote back to explain he'd already spent 5 hours on this and to go find another caterer.I can't speak for the food since we didn't work together. I was taken aback by the interaction as I wasn't trying to waste his time, nor was I trying to nickel and dime him. I communicated our dietary restrictions up front and I communicated our budget. My only feedback was to ask for a proposal to fit my budget. I'm sharing this review and my experience so others have the right expectation if you decide to reach out.

9.20.17 6:30pm Supporting our local & family owned businesses all at one time! A fantastic food truck, Chef Darrell & a fantastic location, Khoury's liquor store. Issa, at Khoury's said that the Dazzling Bistro Food Truck comes by a couple times a month. Good to know cause I'd really like to try more like the Gumbo & Rice bowls I read about. My friend & I first grabbed a six-pack of Franziskaner Hefeweizen which paired well w/ Chef Darrell's creations. Our order was slightly mixed up, but no problem, Chef brought us an Old Bay seasoned, Spicy Shrimp Taco. It said w/ Blue Chips, but it came w/ a salad & all three items we got were on a Hoagie Roll. It worked well as a sandwich, instead of a taco too. We took off one bun from each order & then could really taste the elements of each sandwich. I loved this spicy shrimp & slaw creation! It had a nice kick of Sriracha & garlic aioli which I love!The Thai Style Beef Satay Tri-Tip was a strip of Beef Satay On a Hoagie topped w/ a nice sweet cucumber, carrot salad. I really liked the sweet sauce on top of it & it would also be great as a salad! My fav was the Smoked Pork Belly Banh Mi On a Hoagie, topped w/ coleslaw & pickled onions & cilantro! I should've taken one to-go so will have to hope that it's on the menu next time. If not, I am very excited to try what is on the menu next time this Dazzling Bistro Food Truck is at Khoury's. Thank you Chef. I love spicy, it was a wonderful experience & very tasty creations.

Dazzling offers high quality, 5 Star delicacies from a truck. To accompany the amazing food is a jubilant owner and Chef Darnell. It's as if you not only get a great meal but you make a great friend.His menu changes often, but if you can find them, I highly recommend the Philly, Po Boy, and the chicken quesadilla. Just by those selections you can see the menu has items from all over the culinary spectrum. I have dined with Dazzling twice now and both experiences were amazing.

I was curious after seeing the 5 star review as to whether this was truly a diamond in the rough. Well, they're definitely polished.Dazzling Bistro was one of many local food trucks at the 4th annual run of Sunset Park'd, and my friends and I walked up near the end of our busy lunch session. They have a somewhat eclectic menu that draws inspiration from several regions and countries (and doesn't misspell "banh mi"). It looks like they often (or always) change up their menu; had I known, I would've tried to find stomach space for more food.However, I just went along with my friend and tried some of his order. The "Thai" Coconut Curry Chicken Rice Bowl ($9.99) didn't resemble any Thai curry that I've had (and it wasn't spicy in the least), but there was certainly a strong yet balanced coconut milk flavor. The chicken was exceptionally well-treated, marinated and grilled, thinly sliced but still moist and tender, and present in sufficient quantity for every bite. The onions and red bell peppers were delicious. I wasn't expecting a chef working out of a food truck to care so much about the chicken, which is normally a dull protein.After this brief experience, I'm really looking forward to trying more of Dazzling Bistro's creations. I'll definitely have more room in my belly next time, so my fingers are crossed that they come back soon to Henderson or to nearby parts of Las Vegas.

Darnell and Dazzling Bistro recently catered a wedding that I was in. The food was pretty good but the wait time was insane! We were table 1 and got our food in about 10 minutes. My parents, on the other hand, were at table 17 and over an hour and had gone by and they had still not eaten. The chef was standing outside the truck shooing people away because it was not yet their turn, while the 2 workers inside worked frantically. Guests had RSVP'd and given their food orders at the same time so it's not like they were unaware of what was to come! The bride and groom had worked so hard on this and had given Dazzling Bistro the exact orders and what order they would come in.. To me, that would make the job so incredibly easy and all you'd have to worry about would be plating food and getting it to guests. Guests had to come to them with their food tickets as well so it was pretty easy! For me, one of the biggest issues was the lack of concern and reassurance that cross-contamination was not a possibility. My husband has an extremely severe tree nut allergy, even more specifically, pecans. When we looked over the menu and saw that the meat was smoked in pecan wood, with sincere concern we asked Darnell if there was any chance of cross-contamination with the pasta and he completely tiptoed around the question never answering it... When you don't have your epi-pen and the chef can't reassure you there is absolutely no chance of cross-contamination when you are the first table to be plated and served, you most likely will not eat...I was so excited about the food but thoroughly disappointed in the full experience with Dazzling Bistro.

This food truck catered my brother's wedding on June 1st. It took a little over two hours to feed the 160 or so guests that were invited, despite reassurances that they could handle this event in a timely manner. The way this was handled during and after was completely unacceptable. Darnell stood outside the truck all night rather than go in and help the other two guys (I understand the point of an expo, but given the wait and it being their special day and all, why not go help things along?); he had several offers from angry guests to go help out in the kitchen, an offer he made it visibly clear he wasn't too pleased with.Now what I find to be the worst part of this is that my brother and his wife encouraged guests NOT to write yelp reviews until they had the opportunity to try and handle it with Darnell. They wanted to see how he responded prior to a slew of bad yelp reviews being given and give him the benefit of the doubt. His response? Nothing. So here we are. I can't wrap my head around why, as a business owner, this would seem like a good way to handle the situation. Kudos to the bride and groom for not letting this setback overshadow an otherwise beautiful, fun wedding and for attempting to take the high road and work this out with the owner privately.

I found Dazzling Bistro truck today so I had to pull over and give it a try even though I wasn't that hungry!!It was smelling so good all around the truck like Cajun spicy scent. The smell made me hungry and I was ready to eat.Chef Darnell is such a fun person to talk to. Everyone around the truck was enjoying conversation with him. He said they change menus for occasions. He's from Louisiana so Cajun food is what he's specialized in.Everything on the menu looked good but chef Darnell recommended Southwest Chicken Tacos so I decided to try that.The food came out pretty quick.My Southwest Chicken Taco was delicious!! The chicken was peppery spicy and coleslaw inside was crisp, not overly mayonnaised. It was $9.99 but the portion wasn't big. They are on Roaming Hunger so it's easier to spot them.If I can find Dazzling Bistro truck again, I would definitely stop by ;-)

Awesome.... Food! Service! Chef! I would strongly suggest Dazzling Bistro Food Truck. We used for a neighborhood event and everyone raved about them. First class...

Chef Darnell is the epitome of professionalism. We booked Dazzling Bistro for our engagement party and we could not have asked for a better experience! Not only was Chef Darnell on time for our event, dressed to impress in his chefs jacket, interacting with the crowd and even took pictures with us for our wedding album... He invited us to several events before hand to be able to try the different menu items, took a special order for my Fiancé for the night of our event and had that prepared first and he comped our meal when we had our consultation. We would recommend Dazzling Bistro to any and everyone! All of our guests were so happy with the food and the service, plus we all had so much fun just experiencing having a food truck! We will use Dazzling Bistro again and again! Don't hesitate to use Dazzling Bistro Food Truck for your next event!

Fantastic food and the friendliest service! The short rib rice bowl is so full of flavor. The meat is so tender and I really don't know how I am going to go back to eat plain old white rice after having their amazing coconut rice! Can't wait to try their doughnut and coffee bread pudding! Thank you Dazzling Bistro for your kind service and wonderful food!
