Dell's Kitchen and Bakery — Restaurant in Honolulu

This is one of the best plate lunch spots hands down. The prices are on point, and the food is amazing. Restaurant quality food. While most do take out, they also have a very nice and spacious air conditioned indoor area to eat. Not the average plate lunch, as even the sides are well thought out. Authentic japanese potato salad, homemade pickled veggies, fresh slaw salad, might vary slightly from day to day, but it is all delicious. Those are just the sides. If you like Ahi Katsu, get it. It is so fresh and is very high grade ahi tuna lightly battered and lightly seared to perfection. Comes with a very delicious chanterelle sauce, it's so good. If you want a simple yakisoba plate with homemade noodles, that is delicious too. Everything is good. They even have a bakery with some pretty amazing goods. Selection varies, but if they have the croquette pastry that is bomb. They also occasionally do omurice as a special too

They also have a vegetarian menu, and I'm not vegetarian, but the miso eggplant is amazing. Best I've ever had.

Looking forward to going back and keep trying more...

I can’t believe that I did not learn about this eatery until yesterday. A friend and I met for lunch yesterday and she said she has gone there many times. Dell’s has been open at the corner of Mccully and Young street for about two years. I often pass this location but have never ventured to try the food because I thought it was still a Chinese restaurant. To my surprise, Dell’s/Mio Pastology are the same restaurant serving bentos and pasta with a bakery on the side. Although the concept may seem strange it works well under the vision of Chef Dell Valdez. The cohesiveness of the diverse menu is due to the Japanese consciousness of Chef Masatsuda and his wife Rita. The pasta selections are not heavy with cream or with excess of butter. They also sell bento selections which reflect a Japanese bento that you could get in Japan, not having the overwhelming taste of shoyu and sugar which are the downfall of some local...

This is definitely an unexpected experience. I ate there with a friend of mine this evening and did not know what to expect other than food. Much to my surprise it is extremely clean. The manager Rika took my order. Very kind very patient and gave answers to every question I had. The service was excellent. The time to prepare my order was short. Delivered to the table where I was sitting. Everything was prepared with the utmost care. Honestly from the outside it was unassuming unpretentious. But clearly once inside you realize that all your expectations will be met. I highly recommend this as a place to eat. There is somewhat limited seating but for our visit it did not pose an issue. If you're looking for some out of the way but a wonderful place to eat... I recommend this location Dale's kitchen and bakery. It is so refreshing to go to a restaurant and eat and be appreciated for being a customer. What a...
