    Cute Dell's Kitchen & Bakery statue by the entrance area.
    Fran C.

    It's been awhile since I last came to Dell's Kitchen and Bakery, as the last time I was here, I was basically here for their baked goods. This time when I came back to Dell's Kitchen and Bakery and it was time to try their wonderful plate lunches. Met up with a friend, & we got the following - 1. Ahi Katsu plate 2. Garlic Chili Chicken plate I ended up getting the Garlic Chili Chicken plate, and I must say it was quite good! Nice garlicky taste, but as for heat in the chili......sorry I couldn't taste it, but of course my tolerance for spicy food is a bit high, as maybe that's why I couldn't taste the heat. My plate came with a scoop of - potato salad, white rice, & a cabbage salad. Overall a great deal for just $14 bucks for this Garlic Chili Chicken plate. I would definitely come back here to eat this dish again. The restaurant is casual, and there's plenty free parking in the private parking lot. If you're in the McCully neighborhood, give Dell's Kitchen & Bakery a try! They get plenty good stuff here!

    Looking for a Japanese-inspired plate lunch? Check out Dell's Kitchen and Bakery in McCully. Their Miso Eggplant is a great choice if you're going vegetarian, and the Soy Ginger Pork is a solid option for pork lovers. Plate lunches come with two sides--potato salad and cabbage salad--and both were really good. Don't skip the Plantation Iced Tea. The traditional pineapple iced tea is tasty, but the yuzu version really stands out. There's plenty of seating, plus convenient free parking. Service was friendly and quick. Pro tip: Dine in. Your food is served on a real plate, which definitely elevates the experience. There's also a free water station available.

    Gyudon
    Sydni K.

    Came here for dinner on a Tuesday and ordered the gyudon. Gyudon is one of my favorite dishes, so I always have to get it when a restaurant offers it. The gyudon was a decent portion and the meat was soft and flavorful. It was a bit more liquidy than other gyudons I've had but still hit the spot. Dell's and Mio Pastalogy are in the same area and share seating, but you have to order from separate registers if you want a meal from each. It's an interesting combo, but I like that I can get both Japanese food and pasta in the same place. They also share the same parking lot. It wasn't super crowded when I came around 6, but it started to fill up. There is ample seating inside and a water pitcher which was nice. Overall great spot for comfort food and a casual dinner.

    - Kawagoe housemade gyoza with mustard sauce

    You've probably driven past this spot at South Beretania & McCully, but trust me ...it's worth pulling over for. Nearly everything here is made in-house, and Chef Dell (who's also behind Vein in Kaka'ako) is absolutely delivering. Expect top-quality ingredients like fresh Mio Pastalogy pasta, egg salad sandwiches made with Japanese eggs, and premium-grade Matsuri rice. The biggest win? It's affordable without compromising on flavor or portion size. Food: 5/5 - A lineup of favorites worth every bite: - Egg Salad Sammy!! - Kawagoe housemade gyoza with mustard sauce - Kurobuta Tonkatsu - Izakaya Kawagoe's famous chicken karaage - Garlic Chili Chicken - Mahi Furikake Katsu Parking: 4/5 - Small private lot for dine-in or takeout, plus nearby street parking when it gets busy. Ambience: 4/5 - Spacious dining area with plenty of room to relax and enjoy. Service: 5/5 - Warm, friendly, and attentive from start to finish.

    I think I got the garlic chili chicken? It was just ok. It was compared to zippy's korean chicken, but it's not really close. The service was really good. But the meal itself wasn't memorable. I wanted to like it more than I did. Cute place, would've liked to rate higher. Portion was decent though. Very Japanese-style plate lunches. And also pasta (which no one in my party had). And a bakery, but it was close to the end of the day when we got there, so there wasn't much to look at.

    Great and friendly service. They're online ordering wont have any specials going on. The inside is clean and spacious. They got grab and go bentos.

    Natto pasta (3/5)
    Kelly K.

    During my visit home, Dell's Kitchen and Bakery came up a few times in conversation. I was curious to try the bakery and food. It didn't exactly make sense when people mentioned that there were both pasta and Japanese dishes in separate parts of the space. What it really means, I think, is that the bakery and pasta dishes are ordered at one counter and Japanese dishes at a different counter. Kind of strange if you ask me. We ended up ordering from the pasta side and had natto pasta (3/5) and mentaiko pasta (3/5). Both dishes were made fresh and came out relatively quickly. The portions were decent and made sense given the reasonable prices. The overall taste was just ok and I think my Dad felt the same way. While the pasta did serve to quell our hunger, it wasn't exactly memorable either. I think it was missing a little bit of seasoning/flavor. Also the plates looked kind of neat but borderline messy if that makes sense. I also got the chocolate and calamansi financiers from the adjacent bakery which to me were too dense but my parents seemed to enjoy them. As we were eating there was a slow but steady flow of patrons picking up food to go. Parking is very convenient as there is an ample lot in front of the restaurant. While I greatly appreciate finding free parking easily, I don't know if this restaurant will survive with a lack of patrons as it wasn't very busy at 11:30a on a weekend. Service was friendly but unenthusiastic about the bakery/menu items. The overall restaurant vibe is a bunch of cheap tables in an empty space. It's has no charm or personality. Overall, I am glad I tried Dell's but I don't know that I'd seek out a meal or the bakery item at Dell's.

    Miso Eggplant

    Food was excellent. Service was friendly. Nice & quiet atmosphere when dining in for an early lunch.

    Miso Salmon Plate
    Suri S.

    I've driven past this place too many times to count, but finally decided to give in this time. We came for dinner. Two different menus - the left side is Japanese and the right side is Italian fusion dishes. Order at the counter and seat yourself. Self service water station and bathrooms are available. We ordered the Kawagoe Karaage and Miso Salmon dishes. Salmon was very tender and had that umami taste from the miso marinade. The Karaage was a lightly fried juicy surprise. Both were delicious! Nice presentation and larger portion than I was expecting. I enjoyed all the variety of sides, especially their potato salad. Parking was easy with a spot right in the front. Service was nice and polite. Food came out in about 15 minutes. Would come back again to try other dishes, maybe the Italian side next!

    I've tried many many different lunch places. This one by far has the most delicious meal I've ever eaten. Portions are very good, lots of different kinds of food to choose from. Fast and great service, come by and check out Dell's Kitchen. Lots of parking spots and inside table are very clean.

    Inspiring pastries!
    Dawn K.

    Not fancy, not trendy, but definitely elevated--that's Dell's Kitchen and Bakery. It's next-level takeout. In fact, when you dine-in, they 'serve' you on ceramic plates and present actual silverware, and chopsticks, of course! There is something for everyone here, young and old, pescatarian and vegetarians. No matter what you're craving, Dell's has a delicious dish just waiting to be devoured. But, first, they are going to create it with culinary expertise. From careful cuts to pretty plating, everything is done with thoughtfulness and tastiness. And it's all made to order so don't expect fast food. Trust me, it's worth the wait. There is also a case stocked full of Japanese-inspired pastries with interesting twists. Savory and sweet delicacies you can take with you for a special snack. See, Dell's has something for everyone! Hubby and I chose Dell's for a casual lunch date. The spacious dining room has lots of seating. You order at the counter and they serve you. Iced water is available in a help-yo' self-cooler. Grab a cup, sip, and sit back in the air-conditioning and wait for your food. Again, worth the wait! We tried two pescatarian options but they also offer three vegetarian options. Love that! Hubby enjoyed his ahi katsu, fresh and delish. The serving was generous. You could enjoy this dish in any high-end restaurant. But you'd probably get a smaller serving and pay more. We had the seafood croquette. I say 'we' because after trying one bite, hubby kept asking for more. He said it's the best seafood croquette he ever ate. The sweet and savory sauce that topped it was divine. A perfect compliment. We both adored the potato salad, beautifully prepared and incredibly balanced. The flower carrot garnish was a classy touch and the fried kale topped off both dishes wonderfully. This is a great neighborhood joint. It's right in the heart of Moiliili, lots of parking, on the way to the freeway. Perfect place to stop by for pastries and plates. We'll definitely be back to try more of their traditional but in inspiring offerings.

    Some chicken croque monsieu thing. It was okay. Kinda too peppery.
    Caitlin C.

    A little disappointed. The baked goods had a lot of potential but the ones we were given were cold and old. They were only open for 40 mins when we arrived! The guy was putting stuff out but didn't mention anything about the stuff in the case being old already. He warmed up the thing I got though. Idk what it was called, the signs weren't up yet. The bread part was good, the chicken was kinda dry and too peppery. It's ok though it was only $3.95 and it was pretty big. My fiance got some bun with cheese ham and bechamel, it was okay but again very cold. The cold brew and plantation yuzu iced tea were really good though! They're sort of Mio Pastology, which I DO want to try. Some old man came in after us (we were the only ones in there) and was talking about his good the food there was, and that he goes there all the time. So that's kinda promising. I'd come back at a better time later.

    Salmon
    Paul M.

    Awesome japanese comfort food in a clean casual setting with good prices! What more could you ask for? I got ginger pork and my wife got salmon. I also got a slice of blueberry pie. Everything was presented wonderful and tasted awesome. This is definitely a place I'm going to come to often! It's two restaurants in one as Mio Pastalogy is also connected to this. Both are excellent!

    You can't help but notice the line…read more Staying directly across the street from the bakery gave me a front-row seat to its daily ritual. Every morning, without fail, people gathered outside waiting patiently for pastries. No flashy signs. No gimmicks. Just quiet consistency. That alone intrigued me. By the second day, my mind was made up. I'm an early riser, so the plan was simple: go on my usual morning run and arrive before the rush. Japanese culture and craftsmanship have long fascinated me. Through close friends with family roots tracing back to Japan, I've developed a deep appreciation for the culture -- the discipline, the rituals, the precision, and the respect for process. There's a beauty in the intentional pace at which things are done. Nothing rushed. Nothing careless. This bakery embodied that philosophy perfectly. The space itself was small, modest, and aromatic. No overdesigned interiors. No influencer bait. Just the comforting smell of fresh bread and butter hanging in the air. Some bakeries hide behind elaborate architecture and presentation, but this place understood something more important: when the product is exceptional, the product becomes the attraction. The pastries ranged from playful and charming to elegant and refined. The Salt & Butter bread was an instant staple -- savory, warm, and impossibly light. The dough practically dissolved like air. Thankfully, nothing felt overly heavy, because I completely lost control of my ordering strategy. The Kobo Kuma -- a soft bear-shaped bun filled with homemade vanilla bean custard -- was perfection. Equal parts cute and comforting. The Cinnamon Roll was solid, but the Haupia pastry completely stole the show. For those unfamiliar, Haupia is a traditional Hawaiian coconut pudding found throughout Polynesia. The flavor here was subtle yet lingering, delicate without disappearing. The kind of flavor that quietly stays with you long after the last bite. Then came the Blueberry Danish -- beautiful, buttery, and perfectly sweet. I didn't even make it to the savory options this time, which honestly just gives me another reason to return. And I absolutely will -- whether back here in Hawaii or perhaps at one of their mainland locations in Los Angeles. Some places become popular because of hype. Others because of quality. This bakery earned its line.

As I came up to the shopping center shortly after 7am, I noticed a long line, and thought to myself, this couldn't possibly be for Kona Coffee Purveyors, right?? But unfortunately for me, it was. I didn't see how long the line extended, but I knew I didn't have time to wait, so I ended up getting coffee elsewhere. A few hours later, around 11:30am, I was back in the Waikiki area and happened to be walking past Kona Coffee Purveyors. I saw there were maybe a handful of people in line, so I decided to drop in. I ended up getting a latte, black sesame kouign amann, and pandan coconut tapioca pudding. My favorite was the pandan coconut tapioca pudding which was delightfully light and not too sweet dessert. Black sesame kouign amann: A twist on the classic kouign amann. A beautiful blend of crunchy and soft. The black sesame filling adds a nice flavor. Pandan coconut tapioca pudding: Pandan pudding, coconut tapioca, topped with coconut macaroon. This seems to be a seasonal/limited item. Their desserts are from b patisserie, and they all looked soo enticing and pretty! It was a nice place to sit and leisurely enjoy coffee and pastries.

I don't know if I'd wait in that long line again just for those pastries. Nitro: 2/5. It was super bitter and not a good nitro at all. Drip coffee: 4/5. Nothing special but not bad. Banana chocolate croissant: 5/5. Very good. Lilikoi pastry: 3/5. Tasted good. But was not wowed. Pistachio pastry: 5/5. Loved the pistachio cream and the pastry was tasty.

    My friend has me loving these pastries from local general store. I have been horrible with taking…read morepics but got to eat more of their delicious baked goods. Since it was their anniversary on Sunday, also got their celebratory funfetti cupcake which also like their baked goods did not disappoint. The croissant base of many of their pastries is flaky. When fresh it crunches with every bite that you take. This time around we had the cinnamon roll, mango danish which had a chocolate mochi filling, and their char siu bun. It's such a neat take to have char siu in a croissant. We are used to having it in the doughy bao bread but in a croissant, savory with a crunchy outside tastes so much better. I love sweet but this one wasn't overly sweet, who would have thought that mango and chocolate pair so well together. It's the summer months, fresh mango on pastries. It was the perfect ripeness. For the cinnamon roll, you honestly cannot forget get their cinnamon roll...It's flaky and again the frosting is not overly sweet. Can't wait to get another box of their pastries again soon.

    I met up with my friend at the Local Heneral for a quick snack. I was pleasantly surprised by the…read moreselection of food and pastries. It's a cute little shop with benches facing the windows to people watch. It was hard to pick one item, but I ended up trying the Char Siu Croissant. I loved the flavors combining the sweet glaze and the savory meat. It's now one of my go-to weekend treats!

    I love Pipeline Bakeshops Malasadas! I have been to several Malasada places in Hawaii but | love…read morethere's the best for the following reasons: 1. the size of the malasadas: some restaurants tend to make their Malasadas smaller and when places do this it ruins the overall texture and quality of it. The bigger the malasadas size the more airy and fluffy and more bread layers that will be inside. 2. their malasadas always taste fresh and the same quality each time. 3. their malasadas don't feel oily or heavy at all Overall I would highly recommend this place for their Malasadas! I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try. They have ice cream, cakes, and other desserts Also tip: if you are ordering a malasada also order a coffee or a matcha drink to go with it. The cinnamon sugar from the malasada just matches so perfectly with a drink this restaurant is also a nice place for walking! There's lot of stores and restaurants to walk around! I'm trying to remember but I think there was a book off that was not too far from here! If you either drive or maybe walk. Service: staff was super helpful and friendly while I was there. I was having an issue with my online order because my phone was being glitchy and they were so nice in helping :) Also wanted to note their branding is so cute!! They even sell merch items too

    Everyone knows to go to Leonard's for freshly made malasadas, and the constant crowds there attest…read moreto their quality and variety (review: https://yelp.to/jaduiZfQRq). However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece. I went for the Coffee, while Jamie chose the daily special, Cinnamon (Photo 6). They were soft and tasty, quite comparable to Leonard's albeit a tad smaller. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since we had dinner ahead of us. However, we let temptation get the best of us and shared a $5.50 slice of the Ube Haupia Mac Nut Bar, a yummy combination of sweet potato and ube topped with haupia (coconut milk pudding) on a macadamia nut crust (Photo 9). Truth be told, it stole the show from the malasadas. FOOD - 4 stars... the malasadas were good, but that ube dessert was next level AMBIANCE - 4 stars...really a takeout operation with a lot of temptations SERVICE - 4 stars...very calm and orderly TOTAL - 4 stars...yet another spot for sweet Hawaiian decadence RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?

I'm happy to see a local business thriving but I hope they can improve their customer flow. The baked goods looked as inviting as always but they seemed a day-old or something. The butter horn was hard and not flaky as I've come to expect and the chocolate of the Boston Creme donut wasn't creamy. They may wish to consider: 1, Clearly delineating the line for the restaurant from the bakery. It was super busy for both so there was a lot of confusion. 2. Perhaps placing the number machine for the bakery closer to the door? Tourists aren't familiar with the system so it leads to some unnecessary dissatisfaction. 3. The staff had to leave the counter to get coffee - hot or iced. The condiments for the coffee were on the showcase so people had to be in everyone's way to get their sugar and cream. In fact, if you were standing near the door you had to go through people waiting in line back into the establishment to get those items. But, with all this, the two ladies at the counter were remarkably composed and helpful.
