I love how they show samples of the food. They have two different registers depending if you want pasta or Asian food. I got the miso salmon plate. I love how it's decorated in the plate so nicely. They even shape the carrots into flowers. You can tell it's made with love. It tasted so good. Idk what was on top of the rice but it was beautiful and some type of purple herb like thing. The plate was so colorful. Everything was so yummy. And the pickled vegetables were also yummy. Service was good and didn't take too long. read more

Amazing food, awesome service, and very fair prices -- Dell's Kitchen is an absolute winner. It's one of the few places I've found here that really captures that true "Japan-Japan" quality, izakaya-style staples, served up plate lunch style. We tried the kurobuta tonkatsu featuring Kyushu/Kagoshima pork, the loco moco (which I almost never order), and a side of gyoza -- and wow, everything was super oishii! The tonkatsu was juicy, tender, and deeply satisfying. The loco moco was the surprise star for me -- the burger was moist, flavorful, and smothered in one of the best brown gravies I've ever had. It was light in color, full of flavor, and not overly salty. The gyoza was equally impressive -- so tasty and well-balanced that you could really pick up each ingredient, and it was so good it honestly didn't even need sauce. P.S. Right next door (under the same roof) is Mio Pastalogy, same owner and awesome pasta dishes! read more

Okay, wow! This was a delightful surprise. I had never heard of this eatery before, but decided to check it out based on the great ratings. They're located in McCully on the corner of McCully St. and Young St. Free parking is available in their lot, but be careful of potholes! it's very spacious and clean inside. There are two counter areas - the left side has the plate lunch menu items, and the right side has the pasta menu and bakery items. Basically you order and pay at one of the two counters, find a table, then they bring your food to you. Employees were very friendly. When you're finished eating, you bus your own table by putting your dirty dishes in the plastic bins. I ordered the Miso Salmon for $20. It took about 10-15 min for my food to arrive. The salmon was absolutely delicious! It was moist and had a great miso flavoring. It was also a generous size. The plate came with rice, cabbage salad & potato salad. I didn't eat much of that as the salmon was rather filling. I will definitely return to work my way through the rest of their menu! read more

Bakery side of Dell's Kitchen and Bakery is fabulous. Kitchen is not shabby at all. I asked for thick slices on the half-loaf of Yudane Shokupan ( Japanese milk bread ) and waited ten minutes...aomwthing to donwith their bread slicer. It doesn't matter cause Dell's bread and pastries are worth the wait. I also ordered their signature drink: Strawberry Matcha Yuzunade. This is one of the best iced matcha beverages that I've had. Parking stalls are available for Dell's K&B, as well as their sister eatery, Mio Pastalogy. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

*** 4.5 stars *** We picked up dinner from Dell's our last night in Hawaii and it was the perfect final meal in Hawaii! We got the Miso Salmon and the Garlic Chili Chicken, both of which perfectly hit the spot. The ingredients were fresh and high quality with both Hawaiian and Asian flavors and inspiration. Highly recommend Dell's for both dine-in and take-out! read more

Dell's Kitchen and Bakery has fantastic Japanese-style plate lunch that is sure to leave you satisfied. They share a space and kitchen with Mio's Pastalogy (another one of my favorites), with a "cafeteria-style" dining area. The portion sizes here are pretty decent and it's a great place if you're looking to get quick lunch, dinner, or takeout. They have a good online ordering system so you can order ahead of time, which is incredibly convenient. I've tried the Ahi Katsu, Gyudon Bowl, and Loco Moco, but I always keep coming back to the Nori Chicken. The Ahi Katsu is a close second though. I come back to Dell's Kitchen only every once in awhile since it's a bit far out for me, but it never disappoints. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

While I ordered from Mio Pastology, kiddo and hubs ordered from Dell's. Note - They share the same kitchen. Kiddo ordered the Chicken Katsu and noted it was good - standard like most other places she's had katsu. Hubs ordered the garlic chili chicken. The g a rlic stood out - the chili not so much but he enjoyed his meal. He also noted the potato salad was good. Kiddo and I both liked the Matcha Yuzu Starwberry drink. It was very refreshing, tart, and not too sweet. read more

Local's know where to get great food at a great price. Tucked away in this low key strip mall is this counter service gem, making fresh Japanese inspired plate lunch dishes.

I highly recommend the Ahi Katsu plate. While this is a common dish in Hawaii, few places make it this great. read more

The service was top.notch, very friendly and informative. read more

Feelin' hangry, but don't know where to go or pick? Try Dell's Kitchen and Bakery. Located on McCully and Young, next to KFC, they have an ample parking lot you can turn into from either McCully or Young St. Inside you'll also find another name, Mio's Pastaology, where you can also have what their menu has to offer. They have a nice number of seats to dine in, and also offer complimentary lemon water if that's all you want to drink. A very inventing environment. When I first walked in, I noticed their display case of what their plates looked like. The Tonkatsu Curry immediately caught my eyes and was sold, but not till I looked at what their bakery case had to offer. Wanted to try their Cream Filled Pan, but was sold out. Didn't frown for I saw a lone Apple Cinnamon Pan calling me and under that the Bread Pudding was jumping up and down calling me also. The cashier was very helpful and with my confusion on where to order and where to pay, they were very patient and accommodating. Went to order my plate with the 2 pastries, and saw a display of their special of the day... Braised Shoyu Pork with herb potatoes! Told the cashier, to cancel the Tonkatsu and give me the special. So Glad I did! Ate in with this plate, and came in a very fancy looking pasta bowl/plate... 3 Huge Pieces of their Shoyu Pork and a generous amount of potatoes to match. First, the Pork was well braised and perfectly seasoned. Every bite was moist and tasty and paired perfectly with the herb potatoes. I'm sure I cleared that dish in under 10 minutes. If they have this dish, I'd try this out! The pastries are pretty good for a restaurant I ate Shoyu Pork from. My fav was the Apple Cinnamon Pan. Had a nice portion of apple bits with cinnamon and the bread was nice and chewy. The bread pudding was good, but wasn't as flavorful as the Apple Cinnamon Pan. I'd get both again, but on different days. Found this place as a suggestion from my banker when I asked about their food truck sitting outside their bank. My banker mentioned their fried chicken with fries was delicious, as well as their fried calamari. Then, she said they have a restaurant on McCully and I was like, "Oh, okay!" I'm a little skeptical with food trucks towards the late hours of the day, and being 2pm wasn't sure if I should chance'um and see what they had left or just go to their restaurant. Happy to have gone with the latter. Till my next visit, Grind On, Pau! read more

First time here. One side of the restaurant has the Italian menu board and the other side has the Japanese menu board. There's ample seating even during the busy lunchtime rush hour. The restaurant was packed and it was already a bit after 12:30pm. They have several parking stalls, but I walked there, so I didn't pay too much attention. The food presentation was everything. It's been so long that I've been to a restaurant similar to this in Hawaii that takes such pride in the presentation. From the flower cut carrots to the air fry kale garnishes. Normally they just serve you in plastic takeout containers even though you're dining in.... Free water station and also a bakery inside the restaurant. Can't wait to come back. read more

Nice and clean restaurant with a Japanese food court vibe. Everything here is kind of do it yourself, you order at the register, get your own water and bus your own table.
