Right where Onon on McCully used to be stands Dell's Kitchen and Bakery and Mio Pastology. Virtually three businesses occupy the same space, but they seem to share the same owner. The situation is not overly complicated. This time though, I'm going to introduce Dell's Kitchen; the bakery and pasta shop will come another day. First thing is the parking lot. It's big, but seems neglected, with potholes and lacks painted lines. Walk through the front door and it's a whole different world. The floors, ceiling and counter are spotless. The kitchen, visible from the side looks squeaky clean and looks like what a restaurant with a Michelin star would look like. The menu is written overhead on the counter and the "Special of the Day" is cooked and displayed. One thing I really appreciate is the sign that says "No MSG". I get a strange reaction to MSG. First, I get extremely thirsty and after about an hour after consumption, my feet start to cramp. Sometimes all night long, robbing me of sleep. I have the peace of mind that I'm going to enjoy a good meal and have a good night's sleep. I walk in the shop, unsure of what I want. The cashier mentions the special of the day; Kim Chee Yakisoba with Kawagoe Gyoza. Ok. I'll have that! As soon as I order, I remember that I don't particularly care for spicy food.... Oh well. Looking around while waiting for my order, I see tables that seats about a couple dozen diners. The room seats at least four times that, but it's partitioned off and they seem to be using the space as their office and storage area. My food is up in about 15 minutes, which is not an unusually long time to wait. I opted for take out, so I drive home and dig in. The portion is very generous. A mountain of yakisoba with three pieces of gyoza, a shredded cabbage salad similar to cole slaw and potato salad with pickled vegetables are inside. The potato salad has a hint of dill which is nice! The yakisoba is spicy but by no means unbearably hot. For someone like me who don't like hot stuff, you will find it pretty tasty with a slight kick. The gyoza skin is crispy and the center is is very juicy. All and all, the food is delicious. And with no MSG!! I saw a few items on the regular menu that makes me want to come back for more. Maybe I'll try their pastas and baked goods too! *I got to meet the head chef, and learned that he used to run the bakery in Kahala that was located by the Greek restaurant. A very young and humble man, I wish him well at this location! read more

First time here, had the ginger soy pork and it was delicious! It had a mix of the pork with veggies. The potato salad with the marinated veggies and the cabbage salad with vinegar dressing was yummy! Will surely be back again! read more

The food is great. I like the karaage chicken and the yakisoba. Good food for decent price point. Service is fairly quick and the people are friendly. read more

Posting this hoping Dell takes the feedback for improvement as I tried to contact him but he was not there. Been there several times. The Tonkatsu , Ahi Katsu and Egg Plant were fine . The 2 stars is due to the Hayashi Rice. Manager assured me the meat was a tender stew . Well the meat was thinly cut which was expected but it was mostly gristle and fat and difficult to chew . Showed the Manager my plate and she said that's how the meat is Japanese style. read more

Love all their baked goods, especially yudane bread lately, addicted to their daily sandwiches. Plus great service, mahalo staff

Unassuming place with good food and very nice staff. Definitely going back to try different menu items!

I love the food here! They have great plates and even offer veggie friendly options. You can even grab a few pastries too! Parking is right out front. read more

Went to Dells after a hike with some friends. It was pretty empty when we got there. The food was pretty good, we all ordered a tonkatsu of some sort. My friend didn't get his iced coffee and they ran out of straws so that was a little inconvenient. They may have been training new employees? Dells is located where Aunty's ramen used to be. Also there's a pasta place right next that we'll be checking out soon. I really want to try their pastry's because they looked so good. read more

This will be my go-to takeout lunch place. Great prices for great food! If omurice is available, be sure to get it! The flavor of the rice is something so unique and the egg is the perfect consistency. My second favorite was the miso eggplant. It was really soft and had such an interesting texture on top. Lots of parking! Watch out for the potholes though lol Classic Hawaii asian dishes as well as unique Japanese ones that you don't see so often Potato salad that comes with each dish is bombbbb Assortment of musubis. Tried the kimchee pork one and it was really good. I like these because they're small and aren't so overpowering with the rice Baked goods look really good. Unique flavors like bacon potato and ube custard We have to assume that it's just expensive to eat out these days. These dishes didn't break the bank. About $12 per plate? read more

Dell's Kitchen and Bakery - Pastry menu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Just discovered this place recently and it's such a hidden gem. This location includes Dell's, serving Japanese style plate lunch and baked goods, as well as Mio Pastology serving pasta with a Japanese style of cooking. Quality is great and price point is reasonable. Portion sizes are also filling and sometimes generous (dine-in portions felt bigger than takeout). The hayashi beef was the best I've tried so far on island. I'm surprised this place is not more popular. There's a decent amount of seating space and parking is ample. read more

My reasons for 5 stars: 1) online ordering and payment super easy and can schedule pick up time 2) easy parking with plenty of spaces 3) fresh baked sourdough baguette was chewy deliciousness 4) hayashi rice tastes like some delicious rich stew with wine and big mushrooms and was amazing The karaage chicken was just fine. The rice was a little sticky and gummy. The cabbage salad, potato salad and pickles were great. The service is friendly and they have lots of other baked goods. Prices are super reasonable too! read more

it's my 2nd time here. I am always curious about the plate lunches but I am always somehow disappointed. I had the miso eggplant and my friend had the Kawagoe gyoza. It took a bit to prepare but I understand its freshly made. The bakery options are great but the plate lunches in my opinion are always underwhelming read more

Dell's Kitchen and Bakery - need to pre order by today for 3/3 - Asian Fusion Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Small shop that's both a nice bakery and a restaurant. We had the loco moko and had to try the ahi katsu. Loco moko uses their own herb hamburger meat and was delicious. The ahi katsu is something entirely different. Like a chicken or pork katsu but with aho tuna - that's soft and tender and crunchy. Super friendly people and on site parking making it welcoming for visitors. Going back before we leave. read more

The sakura li hing drink at $8.00 topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream was filled with ice. I felt like the drink was basically ice and about 1/8 cup of liquid. I couldn't taste much of the sakura flavor. There was a tinge of li hing taste. It wasn't worth the $8.00 price. read more

Their Arabiki Bacon Bun is out of this world! That's the most delicious Bun I've ever had! The bread is so soft and seasoned and baked perfectly! Combining the Arabiki and bacon made it soooo good! I ate 3 buns in one sitting. LOL I recommend trying read more

Dell's have been opened for over a year and I'm discovering it now. Get the spicy curry pan! It's not crazy spicy it's a perfect combination of curry and jalapenos. The bakery was clean and the staff were very nice and friendly. Good stuff here! Come and get some! read more

It was one of those days where I didn't know where to get lunch from and literally typed "lunch" into the Yelp search. This place caught my attention since I was right up the street at Kapiolani Hospital. Checked out the menu, took everyone's order and called it in. We ordered so much and EVERYTHING was super ono! I'd definitely go back to this place. My favorite was definitely the nori/shiso chicken. That was broke da mouth! The staff was very friendly and the parking is very convenient as there is a lot. I highly recommend y'all check this joint out if you're in the area! read more

Omg! A Japanese bakery?! We had to try it. Ample parking but the line to order pastries was confusing. One of the customers did not have a mask on. Employees didn't say anything to her, so I reminded her to put one on. Lol. Bakery items were pretty good. I had the anpan and omg, so good!!! Bread was soft and fluffy and the black bean was very tasty and plentiful! They had a nice selection to choose from. Hardest thing is figuring out what to order. We will be back! read more

I went to Dell's during their 3-5pm 20% off + 1 medium drink deal. The plate lunches were delicious and not too pricy, especially with the deal. The karaage was not the typical karaage that I'm used to - less flavor on the batter itself unlike other local/typical karaage but crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Less flavor on the outside makes sense since it comes with a pineapple mustard sauce. I actually liked it that way so I could adjust the flavor! The Ahi Katsu was delicious, too. Rare on the inside and the sauce was perfect for the ahi. Rice portions might feel small for someone that likes to eat lots of rice. It was just right for me but keep in mind if you are feeding a hungry person! Wait time during the 3pm time frame was minimal but I still waited for about 10 minutes. They make their plate lunches fresh so you may have to wait if there's a lot of orders. For the 20% off price I can't complain! Kawagoe Karaage Plate $10 Ahi Katsu Plate $16.50 read more

Such a convenient place to pickup a fast weeknight dinner! The parking lot is big and there's a ton of stalls. The service and food were excellent. You can order seamlessly through their online system and food is ready within 20 minutes. We picked up a loaf of raisin bread while we were waiting because they were still cooking our food. There's still a good selection of breads in the evening but they probably have more earlier in the day! The ube cream bread caught my eye for the next time I visit. We found out our food was taking a little longer because they actually ran out of ahi katsu but were handmaking some more for our order. When we got home, we opened our takeout boxes and the presentation was so pretty! I don't even like carrots but they cut into the shape of flowers and it made me want to eat it LOL. I ate all of my rice and started digging into other people's bc the quality of rice was so good. The katsu was also still crispy when we got home, which is always nice since takeout can get soggy. Would recommend for a casual fast family dinner! read more

I have only tried the baked goods here so far and they are so good! They have a showcase of baked goods to try and they caught my eye when I was visiting their neighbor/partner shop (Mio Pastology). The baked goods here are mostly bread-based and they do it so well. The bread is so soft! I've tried the corn mayo bread and this chocolate-marshmallow bread and they were both fantastic. Super soft and tasty. And you don't even have to eat it right away and it'll still be good. My absolute favorite though is the focaccia. You HAVE to try it. So soft, perfect taste, and the texture with the salt is amazing. In the refrigerated case between the two shops, there is also some of their garlic butter. Pair it with the focaccia and you will love it. It's nice that the two shops in there are connected. If you're buying some pasta next door and want food from Dell's, they let you pay for it together. Super convenient! read more

Updating but still same rating. Went back to try more pastries from the bakery side and I ordered two plate lunches to try. Just a note they have daily special plates they have out on display and I think they post on their social media on IG the day of. Special wasn't appealing to me I think it was a poke bowl. Bakery items: New ones I tried today were the chocolate custard, clam and vege pot pie, blueberry Italian sausage, and rosemary focaccia bread. Focaccia bread was alright not too salty or anything and fluffy. Choco custard nothing out of the ordinary. Wish the bread they used was different. It was the texture if say old bread. Clam and vege pot pie was OK.. If you GE tit you should warm it up I think it will taste better.. I like the bread it was in it was something like a soft and chewy almost mochi like. But I wouldn't get it again. Blueberry sausage... Yuck. Thought it would be something like a good salty sweet combo but the Italian sausage wasn't good just not a good combo. Waste money. I think out the 6-7 pastries I tried the Grape custard is the best combo. Plate lunch: Go during 3-5pm to get 20% off and free medium drinks with each plate. I say that because I wouldn't pay the full price now that I know the side dishes of the plate are not worth it for the price of a full plate lunch.. The main dishes (the two I tried so far) were great! Tasty. The potato salad just doesn't taste right compared to other Japanese style potato salads.. I don't think they mixed it well as random bites would be salty and just the flavor was overall too sour. Should have a balance of sweet and sour. This was fo both plates of the potato salad. Their Cole slaw was drenched in dressing. The dressing tasted like watery balsamic vinegar. Not that tasty but you can dip your focaccia bread in it and pairs nicely! lol. That's my gripe about the sides if they had better sides then I'd say it would be better for the price and more satisfying. The main plate I got was the karaage chicken and seafood croquet. Karaage chicken was yum! The batter looks different it's not the usual dark brown color and I appreciate that it wasnt overly seasoned or salty ort had a thick batter because you can dip it in their pineapple mustard sauce that paired nicely and gave it a sweet tang which I liked! Pieces of the chicken were small, wish it came with more as the sides weren't cutting it. Would order again. Also the 1 rice scoop is pretty small.. More of a half scoop size.. The seafood croquet came with three pieces with loaded Imitation crab... It's mostly all I saw in the filling but I think I did taste some chunk of scallop/shrimp. The filling was really good and not salty just right. Yummy flavor. The filling sauce is a honey shallot sauce which was tatsy. Would order again. I think the only other things on their menu I would be interested in getting would be their chicken katsu/tonkatsu and maybe the grilled porkchop. Also I would try their daily special as they have had like omurice with beef stew, sandwiches etc. Would come again during the 20% off designated time 3-5pm. I think I am done trying the pastries unless they have something really different or a fruit flavor I haven't tried. Their sweet pastry to me are better than thier savory ones. Another positive is the spacious parking. Also this time the customer service was better as thier were different workers then I got last time. read more

Best part is the food. Nice portions with traditional plate lunch sides. I love my garlic so got my garlic chicken. SO got the Kalbi which was tender and flavorful. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu. read more

I was drawn here by the high Yelp reviews and wanted to pickup a plate lunch to have at the beach. Anyway had the salmon furikake katsu it came with a tiny scoop of rice and potato salad, a cabbage slaw with a vinegary dressing and miscellaneous veggies. The picture doesn't show it but the salmon portion was large I'd say at least 12oz maybe more. The furikake breading was very nice, not too salty but complimented the salmon. Slaw was good and I enjoyed the potato salad too, subtle flavors not too strong. The only thing they could improve on is the chubby guy with the backwards ball cap was pretty unfriendly, actually grumpy. Maybe he was having a bad day but he shouldn't take it out on customers. Probably won't return but the food was good. read more

The dango is really good and worth going just to buy that rainbow pack. (I paid $13 for the pack with about 6 sticks of various flavors). Also got a lunch plate and it was pretty decent. Got several baked pan (bread buns) and that was dead on good! Fresh and really yummy. Omnomnom! Not sure if the (Asian) Italian food place in the other end is the same place because they seem to share a kitchen but that place has a good lasagna. read more

lots of parking right out in front! (2) doors to enter through. the one on the left will take you to the Dells side, and the on on the right will take you to the Mio pasta side. it all connects on the inside though, so doesnt really matter which door you pick. in true japanese style, their customer service and presentation are immaculate. the lady on the Mio side saw me walking back and forth looking at everything, so she asked me if it was my first time. when i told her yes, she broke it all down for me and explained what each section was. Dells plate lunch, the bakery in the middle, and the build your pasta on her side. i didnt get any pasta this time, but Mio is definitely on my list as well. they even had large ready made salads on that side too. i went in just after 11am on easter sunday (yes they were open!) and it smelled heavenly. all that fresh baked bread. *drool* as tempting as it was to get all of the things, i told myself i didnt NEED all of those carbs since im on a cut, and i just got the plate lunches that i came in for. i got the maui shortrib plate, and the special of the day was a wafu hamburger steak. plates both came with a side of cabbage and potato salad, and the meat was on top of small bed of spinach. the hamburger was super moist and flavorful. thick patty, with a shiso leaf, daikon, & grilled mushrooms on top. you could definitely tell it was hand made from scratch . so so good. that burger would be perfect in a sandwich too. i highly recommend this place. probably suggest to go early if you want baked goods, but not too early. when i got there at 11 the breads werent out yet. but by the time i got my food (because they make everything to order so i took a while) all the breads had been put out and (2) orders of the kinako mochi donuts had just come out as well. i'd suggest placing your meal order online since it does take a bit for them to cook everything up, and then when you get there you can pick out all the yummy baked goods. also, check their IG so you know what the specials are they do have a few 2 top tables right outside the windows if you want to eat there. none of the other dine in tables are open yet because of covid. they have a little sign on each table that tells you if its been sanitized yet or not read more

Ate it once before but never tried the left side of the restaurant which serves ono food at very reasonable prices. You order at the front and it's made to order plus it's plated unlike most take out or dine in places. We had the shiso nori, garlic chili and karaage chicken. All of them were 10's. Plus a Happy Hour form 3 - 5 pm. Who does that? You want a bang for your buck? Get down to Dell's and you will be pleasantly surprised and a repeat customer. Ice cold water slightly flavored with lemon slices is self serve. Most place charge you for water or at least the cup. No surcharge if paying with a credit card. We left a little after 5:30pm and 4 entrees were already sold out. Every worker there is customer service oriented and probably one of the best in the area. Mahalo Dell's! read more

Japanese is one of the things I have been craving most lately! With travel still not where I want it to be, I'm finding comfort in looking for food that'll temporarily transport me overseas. Dells is now one of those places. They serve up Japanese style plate lunches, with one of my favorites being the chicken katsu curry. Keep in mind that they may also seem like Japanese style portions. It's not plentiful and won't make you full, but it certainly will make you content. The star in my eyes is definitely the bakery. Their fresh made loaves of bread would be great for a cheese board. They have milky soft buns filled with curry and hot dogs, and corn. Everything you can imagine! They seem to have different items each time I go so you have to go several times to try it all! They have a big parking lot so you don't have to worry about street parking. They took over the old Auntys Ramen location in Mccully, aka the older OnOn location. Currently take out only, and I believe they are still offering a deal on their plate lunches if you go on weekdays between 2-5pm. read more

Takeout review 5 stars: Chef Dell does it again! Great food at an affordable price! Great gourmet style plate lunch place. This was our first visit to Dell's Kitchen and Bakery. We have been to Mio Pastalogy (in the same building) and loved the food there also. Food 5 stars: We ordered the gyudon, ginger pork, and nori shiso chicken. They were all so good that I can't pick a favorite. The egg on top of the gyudon made the sauce creamy and delicious. The beef was super soft and had the perfect amount of sauce. The ginger pork was also super soft and flavorful. The nori shiso chicken had a nice light crispy batter on the outside and was seasoned perfectly on the inside. All the dishes came with potato salad, pickled vegetables, and a cabbage salad. The pickled vegetables were pickled perfectly. I can't wait to try the other plates on the menu. Service 5 stars: As always, the staff there is really friendly and the food came out quickly. read more

I noticed this plate lunch restaurant/section when I went to get Mio's Pastalogy the other day. The same group of friends and I decided to try it out since the food options and pics seemed tasty. It's located in the previous Aunty Ramen restaurant that shares the space with Mio Pastalogy. Turns out both places are owned by the same owner. Making use of the big location! There's a parking lot that provides quite a few stalls. I ordered the ahi katsu because one of pictures posted on Yelp made it looks sooooo delicious that I had to get it. The plate lunch came with their house potato salad with a bunch of random pickled vegetables (guess that's the daily namasu), salad with a vinegar dressing, matsuri rice (fancy), and ahi katsu. The ahi katsu was a big slab of ahi cut into 5 pieces with a sauce (pickled aioloi) drizzled on top. It was coated with spinach and panko... spinach?? That was super interesting. Love how they're incorporating a lot of vegetables in my meal! My ahi wasn't actually cooked with that thin whitish color on the outer ends and raw in the middle. It was completely raw with just the panko/spinach cooked. But it tasted really fresh and yummy with the drizzle. I actually wished there was more of the drizzle sauce since the ahi tasted kind of bland. My friends ordered the furikake salmon, and I got to sample some. Tbh, I liked the furikake salmon a lot more. It was seasoned nicely with the furikake giving it a kick. I thought this place is relatively cheap for what we got. I was really full after eating my plate lunch (and sharing it with someone!). I definitely will be back to try their other dishes! read more

I've never post negative review but today I had a sad experience here. They have Japanese style pastries which are delicious. But unfortunately, their service was kind of rude. First of all, Japanese man came to the counter, I believe he saw me, but he didn't say anything and went to back to the kitchen. Second, a young lady finally came here but still nothing to say like nobody here. I asked her "Can I order" She answered it but she was doing her job like she hated it. I usually pay 15 to 20% tips even for a cup of coffee but I only paid a few % today. I was going to order their plate lunch this weekend with my husband but I don't think I will come back here at all. read more

My new FAVORITE takeout place!!! Appropriately priced! Connected to mio pastology. Get the AHI KATSU. Dells and Mio Pastology are connected and owned by the same people apparently. I haven't tried mio but dells was AMAZING. On the recommendation of the cashier, I ordered the ahi katsu ($15 but worth it) and it was amazing. The ahi was seasoned well (probably on the saltier side for some people, but I LOVED it). The flavor penetration was so good and the ahi had a nice firm texture and no sinew and no fishiness. I think it was wrapped in some spinach and nori before frying and it was still nice and crispy when we got home. The scoop of rice was a bit small, but you just have to portion it out with your meal haha. They were out of potato salad so we got some mio pastology fresh pasta salad and it was so good! The noodles had a nice freshly made pasta firmness (but of course not al dente). We also ordered some focaccia and some veggie curry pan which were both delicious. They were very soft so they were amenable to reheating in the toaster oven at home, where you could crisp it up to your liking! The prices all seem to be appropriate for the quality of the food, some would even say it's a steal! I'll definitely be back-- and it'll be soon! read more

We stopped by here on a whim, coming from somewhere else. This restaurant still had the "new car smell". We ordered a few things- got tricked into ordering a pão de queijo, which was not the best. But pretty much everything else was really tasty. A special shout out goes to their curry bun was very nice. Not a bad option if you're in the area. read more

Food was amazing. I got the Nori Chicken and it was amazing. The bakery was another hit. Got a few pastries to go and they were great. If you go after 6pm the pastries are 6 for $12.

Will definitely be back soon! read more

This was my first time trying Dell's and I am glad I did! I ordered a bunch of plates for some colleagues to enjoy a nice meal at work on Christmas Day and they were open til 3pm. I tried a bite of the Ahi Katsu and it was cooked to perfection and flavored nicely. The shiso chicken was super yummy as well. It almost felt like I was eating a yakitori minus the skewer and with a nice variety of homemade pickled sides. Even though they were jammin and really busy they prepared all of our orders in a timely manner and it was still warm and fresh when we got it back to the office. I'll have to go back to try more of what they've got to offer for sure! read more

So good! At about 4:30pm only one other family there. Plenty of parking. It's connected to mio pastology. One of the workers asked if it was our first time, and helpfully let us know the food is made to order and would take about 15 minutes. Not wanting to wait, we decided to carb out and bought a box of baked goods. There are a few prepackaged items you can grab yourself, including those kept in a refrigerated case, otherwise they'll take what you want out of the case and pack up for you. There were also some musubis for sale. We got a variety of sweet and savory goodies (see pic and receipt). Everything was yummy! Price point is about what I'd expect, on par with Brug but IMO Dell's quality is better. Great service, so friendly. Hoping to come back and try the plate lunches and the pasta, they look delicious! read more
