Made a reservation for 15 of us after my Neice's performance. We were there around 3:00 on a Sunday. Everyone was able to ordered and pay for their selves. The Shrimp Pesto and Chicken Piccata was very delicious. I can't wait to return!! read more

Mio Pastalogy is located alongside Dell's Kitchen and Bakery in MuCully, offering an italian flare of baguettes and made-to-order pasta dishes. Recently, I tried their sister restaurant mentioned above, and wanted to try their pasta offerings today so I ordered from their signature menu "Yuba Ginger Cream" along with a Butterfly Shikuwasa Refresher drink. Yuba Ginger Cream (4/5): Despite being a cream-based pasta, the sauce was not thick and heavy as I imagined it to be. The ginger helped cut the "rawness" from scallops and although I thought the sauce was a bit on the plainer side, the capers was a perfect touch to add a bit of saltiness and depth to the whole package. Butterfly Shikuwasa Refresher (5/5): Shikuwasa is lime-like citrus with an aromatic, bitter rind aftertaste that can be a hit or miss for some. I like it because it tastes more authentic and less processed than one dimensional lemonades that only taste sweet and sour. Overall, Mio Pastalogy was great. Food portions were just enough with no leftovers to take home. read more

First, I feel like this should be a "multi -review" because Mio Pastology is in a shared space with Dell's Kitchen, and honestly, we go to BOTH at the same time, sometimes... for Mio Pastology, I love their pre-set pasta choices, but letting the customer decide on their own preference for pasta and sauces is like having the chef let you decide exactly what you want in your dish - yay! It's a lot like the old Angelo Pietro's, sort of Japanese/Italian Fusion. I also love their bakery choices! Savory and Sweet, so many options!! The crew is pleasant and friendly, especially considering they often work BOTH counters and two different registers. It's more of a casual counter/food court vibe, but with less crowds, decent parking and good food variety. Eat in or Take out, both easy options! read more

Needed a place to eat out tonight and was tired of the same ol' places we always go to. Glad I remembered about this dynamic duo of Japanese style bento type entrees and made-to-order pasta. We were stoked to arrive in time for the end of day pastries discount at 6:00. You need to buy 6 and we just made it! They didn't have the apple pastry we usually get but because of that we got to try the peanut banana cream roll which was delish! Not too sweet, with apple banana and creamy peanut goodness in the center. On the Miopastalogy side, we ordered: 1) The Special: Salmon ikura cream pasta- a beautifully cooked fetucine- "light on the cream" which made for a nicely coated but not too creamy white sauce with salmon flakes, mushrooms, spinach, capers and a dollop of ikura. Mom and aunty loved this. 2) Shoyu butter pasta- their most popular pasta also el dente, a light shoyu with bacon, mushrooms, spinach, katsuo bushi, and a pad of butter, sprinkled with nori and chili flakes over spaghetti. I really liked the flavor on this. On the Dell's Kitchen side we got: 1) Kurobuta katsu- good quality pork with a crispy breading on a delicious Japanese curry with 2 scoops rice 2)Miso salmon - attractively plated with fresh ingredients Both came with potato salad and a cabbage salad tossed with a yummy creamy sesame dressing. I got the Dammann iced tea which was unsweetened and refreshing and hit the spot. Anunexpected bonus was the $10 off we received off each bill for having spent $100 on prior visits! Delicious food with great value and friendly service! They will deliver food but you seat yourself and bus your own tables. We'll be back! read more

Stopped by Mio Pastalogy and decided to skip my usual build-your-own pasta to try their special: salmon tagliatelle with ikura. It was seriously bomb -- rich, flavorful, and the ikura was a perfect salty pop with the salmon. It's a casual dining experience , service was quick and friendly, and I've never had trouble finding parking. read more

Came to try this place out an ordered take out for lunch. Very affordable and everything is à la carte. You choose noodles, sauce, and toppings separately, which allows for unique customization of the dish. I got the spaghetti with bolognese sauce and chicken. Spaghetti was cooked well and the bolognese sauce was flavorful. The chicken tasted like it was cooked and cut and then left in the fridge, which was probably the case. Next time I probably would order the italian sausage. Overall, I will come back to try the other pastas and sauces. read more

Came here for dinner on a Tuesday and ordered the build your own pasta with linguine, bolognese, mushroom, and onion. I like the texture of the noodles, and the sauce was flavorful. I love the concept of building your own pasta but they had preset options too! 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

Mio Pastaology is a great affordable option for customized pasta. Parking Build your own pasta Nice setting Delicious Bakery items 4 of us went here and all tried different things but the Aurora sauce emerged as the fan favorite. It's a mix of marina and cream sauce and was the perfect mix. I got the macadamia pesto which was also good. We got the last small loaf of focaccia and let me tell you that focaccia is 10/10. Soft and herby deliciousness. Two of us got the egg on top but probably won't get it again because it was poached but a little too undercooked for us. Two others got broccoli as a topping and the only complaint is that it was literally like 4 pieces of broccoli. The sauce was great and pasta was made fresh, we tried spaghetti , papadelle, and rigatoni. I liked them all but spaghetti tasted the best in my opinion. Mio shares the store with Dells kitchen and bakery which is a little confusing at first since they share the same dining room and entrance but it's just two different menus. Dells is just a little more local/Japanese style. There's also a lot of bakery items but I only tried the focaccia. The prices were very reasonable, I think each of our build your own pasta was around $12. You can't find a much better deal than that and it was a lot of quantity, I didn't finish mine. Service was friendly and helpful, no complaints. It's self seat after ordering and they bring it out. Will definitely come back again when in the mood for pasta. read more

I love wafu pasta, dare I say it might be better than Italian pasta (sacrilegious, I know). But I find that it's a perfect mesh of traditional flavors and rich, umami notes. I'd say Mio Pastology did a swell job, especially for the price point! I ordered the Dashi Tomato pasta, mentaiko potato bread, and the strawberry yuzu matcha. The pasta was al dente (and homemade!), with the sauce on the side. It was perfectly light and tasted fresh, the dashi elements coming through, enhanced by the nori and katsuoboshi. The mentaiko potato bread was good but I've had better. The mentaiko flavor wasn't very strong, but I did like the sweetness from the bread surrounding the filling. I very much enjoyed the strawberry yuzu matcha, however at nearly 8 dollars, I will say the price point was quite high. In its defense, the matcha tasted of a higher quality and the drink was refreshing. I would definitely order again!! The store is cute and has quite a few tables to dine-in. I ordered the bread from the bakery section, but it looks as though they have bento/plate lunch offerings as well (unsure if the two are connected or not). I would definitely come back to try their mentaiko pasta or one of their specials! read more

One of my go-to restaurants for both takeout and dine-in, Mio Pastalogy is both casual and high quality! They specialize in fresh, homemade pasta and a menu skillfully combining Italian and Japanese flavors. My favorites are: Shoyu Butter: A delicious, salty and savory combination that may sound unusual, but I think almost anyone would enjoy. The bacon adds extra flavor but can be a bit too salty and oily for me sometimes, so I appreciate the addition of spinach and mushrooms as well, and I love that there's also a bit of chili flakes for some spice! Pesto Shrimp: Pasta and shrimp in a delicious macadamia nut pesto sauce! Note that you're only getting 3-4 shrimps in this dish, but considering the high quality pasta and it being reasonably priced at $12, I personally don't have an issue with it. In addition to their menu items, you can also customize your own pasta dish. With a good variety of options to choose from, you really can't go wrong, but I'd still highly recommend one of their signature dishes. Also, honorable mention for their Strawberry Matcha Yuzu-ade drink, which I'm obsessed with! There is also a casual, shared dine-in area. (Might be worth writing a separate review because I also really enjoy Dell's Kitchen!) The staff are always friendly and helpful, efficiently tending to both restaurants and the bakery counter! I order takeout from here fairly often, and I'm satisfied every time! read more

Mio's Pastalogy is a hidden gem in McCully, using a shared space and kitchen with Dell's Kitchen and Bakery (another hidden gem as well). I love that Mio's pastas are affordable without sacrificing fantastic flavor. The portion sizes aren't all too large, but it was enough for me to feel satisfied with a light(er) dinner. While they have a build your own pasta concept, I usually opt for the signature pastas. I would say that Mio's lends itself towards being more like Japanese pasta, than American, which I honestly appreciate because the sauces feel a lot more lightweight. My favorites from their signature menu include the Pesto Shrimp and Aurora Shrimp! Service is swift so it's a great place if you want to just stop by for a quick lunch or dinner, or even takeout. read more

I have been taking out from the Mio L location for a long time but had a period where we haven't had them. When we came back finally, we noticed they had a dine in option. We opted to try the dine in and were pleasantly surprised. While the take out is good, having it served fresh and in a large bowl is much better than the limited take out container size. Yuba and Scallop with Ginger sauce: 9/10. My family's personal favorite. The scallops were noticeably larger than the take out option and the noodles were perfect straight from the kitchen. Bacon, Mushroom, Spinach with Shoyu Butter: 8/10. It's silly but I like ordering this one. It has the right mix of savory/salty and the mix of butter of shoyu to pair everything together. The portion was definitely larger than when I was used to and the noodles were perfect. Mentaiko Pasta: 10/10. One of my family members ordered this and is very fond of Mentaiko. Personally, I can't eat it so I'll trust his rating of 10/10. Custom Shrimp in Pomodoro Sauce: 6/10. My other family member ordered this. While they enjoyed their custom order, they tried the all 3 of the other pastas at the table and felt underwhelmed after. I felt bad. Her final rating was a 6/10 after all happened. The dine in was a nice surprise and pasta really is best straight out from the kitchen. There are quite a few tables and they do table service. read more

My co worker and I are regulars at Mio Pastalogy / Dells. We both will always order the Shoyu Butter Pasta because that's our favorite. Comes with spinach, bacon, mushrooms. We decided to dine in today. When we get our plates, we can already tell the pasta is dry just by looking at it. It just had a square piece of butter laying on top. I just started eating to give the benefit of the doubt. I move the pasta to the side to see where the shoyu sauce was, which was supposed to be underneath, and it was nowhere to be found. So we were essentially eating dried butter pasta. My coworker goes up to ask for the shoyu sauce because we both had none. To my surprise, they actually charged her $4 for not even a 1/4 of a cup that was already supposed to be part of the dish. When they give her the cup of sauce , IT WAS COLD. Like it had just come out of the fridge. Dried pasta with cold sauce. LOL We were gonna say something again, but we were already so annoyed at the fact that they missed the most important step to the Shoyu Butter Pasta, which was the Shoyu Sauce. So we just asked for to-go boxes. It was really disappointing and a waste of my money. Not sure what happened there, if they got new cooks or something, please fix this. read more

Build-Your-Own Pasta with a Side of Curiosity Mio Pastalogy is one of those places I kept driving past until I finally stopped to try it. You order at the counter, pay, and grab a table cafeteria style. They make their pastas in-house, and you can fully customize your dish, from the pasta itself to the sauce and toppings. Or, if you prefer, pick from their signature menu. They also have daily specials. Mine came with salmon, spinach, mushrooms, onions, and ikura in a creamy sauce that was absolutely delicious. My partner got the Mentaiko, which he enjoyed as well. Dell's Kitchen & Bakery shares the same space. We grabbed some focaccia and asked them to heat it so we could enjoy it alongside our pasta. Their menu features local-style Japanese plates and set meals, which I definitely plan to come back for. They are BYOB, so feel free to bring your favorite bottle to enjoy with your meal. There is ample parking right outside, which is always a plus. Mio Pastalogy delivers fresh pasta and flexible options in a casual setting. read more

Updated review for Mio Pastalogy ( great name btw) on the corner of McCully Street and Young Street in McCully. It's been a few years since ordering from this Japanese owned restaurant - Maisen is the parent company. They share the space with sister company, Dell Kitchen and Bakery. Instead of ordering online...went in and requested a pasta bowl. Very affordable at $10, approximately. I decided to buid my own pasta bowl: Pappardelle, aglio e olio, poached egg, and parmesean. Tried it without the parmesean and it was fine as is...some unexpected spice from chili pepper but not spicy in the unbearable sense.Quite delicious and a bargain for a decent portion. Service is friendly and efficient. I didn't wait much more than ten minutes...I came after the lunch riush, so that helped. Dining area is open and spacious...there is even an outside table. Parking lot and street parking are available. read more

Had a wonderful pasta lunch here! This restaurant is two restaurants, there is Dell's Kitchen & Bakery plus Mio Pastalogy. Both are excellent. Dell's kitchen is more japanese comfort food, and Mio Pastalogy is excellent pasta! We even tried some bread, pastries, and a blueberry pie, all were extremely good. I love this place, it's casual, but the food is just so much better than a lot of other places. I got the Bolognese Eggplant, sooooo good and the pasta was perfect al dente. I can't wait to try some more of their dishes! read more

I know this place has been around but finally stopped in. First impression was there is 2 Restaurants in one. Japanese and pasta (bakery too). I ordered 2 pasta dishes that I got to customize the toppings and sauces for about $15 each. I also got some baked goods They make it to order so I waited about 10 mins and they packed everything separate so the noodles don't suck up the sauce. I would recommend this place. They have their own parking too! read more

This is a perfect HOMEMADE FRESH pasta option! Better yet, it's affordable and delicious! Starting at the counter, I was a bit confused for a moment since there are two restaurants inside. Here for pasta? Go to the right side. Here for the Katsu go to the left. Here for bread or baked goods; they have that too! My son built his own pasta meal, white sauce and added bacon and olives which were a hit for him. We ordered the bolognese to both try and I ordered the pomodoro sauce. All of it delicious. The inside is clean and bigger than I had expected. They also have a couple tables outside. The woman who took our order was awesome. And patient. She helped me pick out some bread to take home to my family as well. The garlic bread is a meal alone. It was so delicious. I cannot wait to be close by again and eat again! read more

Love this place and and I only needed to come here once to realize it! The pasta is cooked al dente and the breads are baked fresh. Parking can be kinda tricky if you come during the busy lunch hour. You basically serve yourself. The restaurant is connected to Dell's. There is a place to dump your scraps and put your plates, cups, and utensils. read more

If you want handmade/homemade pasta, try this place. If you like your pasta al dente and so thick that it absorbs lots of water, try this place. Sauce portions for in-house dining are slim. Take out portions are much better I think. Not enough sauce to compensate for the large amount of noodles. There is a lack of seasoning amongst the dishes, also a lack of cheese. About half way through you may want to give up due to that. You pay per topping so make sure you choose wisely from the short menu. The already designed pasta dishes, AKA fan favorites, are the way to go. Already tried and true. The location is obscure with lots of parking. It is a shared space with two other businesses. Complimentary water cups available. Teas and sodas available for purchase. Staff are friendly. Bathrooms located inside for customers. read more

Tasty & affordable FRESH pasta! Great service! Clean! Plenty of free parking! We will definitely be back!!

Mio Pastalogy is a great concept of a restaurant. It offers you the ability to customize pasta your way, not only that but it offers unique blend of japanese and italian flavors. Its a place you can go back to a couple times to try something new or if you've already found a winning just go back for the familiar. For this unique ability to customize i would have thought they would upcharge for the service but the prices are actually fairly reasonable. read more

During my trip in Oahu, I was craving pasta and I stumbled upon this restaurant nearby. Most of the reviews stated that the pasta was good so I decided to see for myself. Just a heads up, this restaurant is combined with two other restaurants as well, it's almost like a food court. Papardelle with bolognese, mushrooms, and bell peppers: bell peppers added more flavor to pasta, good portion and would get again! Spaghetti with pomodoro, chicken, broccoli, and Parmesan: good ratio of sauce and meat, flavorful! read more

Mio Pastalogy - Shirasu Mentai - Italian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Very clean taste, perfectly al dente pasta, always served piping hot (dine in) or in superb containers (takeout), extremely consistent, and reasonable. I'm often running between work meetings, and picking up one of their pastas is PERFECT. (Great portions for portion control also.) Aside the stuff above, one thing that keeps me coming back is the Build Your Own. My go-to is the rigatoni + pomodoro + Italian sausage + olive + sansho pepper. It is absolutely perfect, and I love how the olives, sansho, and sausage squeak in my teeth! You might say "why not get the bolognese," but their pomodoro sauce is brilliantly bright. Ahhh so good. On the rare chance I sit inside, I love being able to grab my own water. And also you can have a meal with friends eating the bakery or Dell's plate lunches. Thanks Mio! read more

We've visited Dell's many times and never really checked out Mio Pastalogy even though they are in the same location. It wasn't until one day we were driving by and Mink saw their ad on McCully Street. They were featuring their Shoyu Butter pasta and it caught her eye. She suggested we try them out the next time we grab lunch in the area. It turns out she didn't have to wait long as we visited the following day she saw the ad lol. We made a phone order and they said it would be ready in 5 minutes. When we arrived about 10 minutes later, the order was still being made but they were busy so understandable. It didn't take too long and we got our order. It smelled amazing when we opened the lid and the taste was better than we expected. I was content with the portion size but I wasn't full after eating the bowl of pasta. Overall, very good pasta at a reasonable price. We will be back to try other menu items. read more

It's not bad here, passed by a few times and never really considered trying it for some reason. Finally a family member went here and said how much they liked it. It's a little different on the inside where it could be confusing on how to order or where to order since one side is one thing and other side is for another. It's small not very big so no big deal but maybe a hanging side saying pasta/bakery this end, bento plate lunch the other end? Got the Dashi Tomato pasta set. Wanted something that was on the Japanese fusion flavor was contemplating this, the natto or the shoyu butter. Overall I liked it, noodles were good and al dente. Sauce was tomato with hints of dashi (japanese fish broth), seaweed sprinkles along with Bonito (shaved fish flake) and a few pieces shrimp. Wasn't bad for what you are paying. Bakery side we tried the melon pan it was ok too. They just ran out of the chocolate and chocolate chip melon pan which I would've preferred trying. Overall good experience. Decent amount of parking. Oh and our cashier ran to our table after and said chef wanted to give us this bread. Was like a nice light (Focaccia?) bread that I ended up using to soak up the rest of my pasta sauce. read more

Braved the rain to try Mio Pastalogy today. I saw a reel from someone who ate there. I was excited to have a Japanese style pasta with a poached egg on it. I ordered the mentaiko pasta, and my husband had the dashi tomato. Overall I would say it was just ok. A little bland to be honest. The shrimp in the dashi tomato didn't taste fresh. I had high hopes, but the quality just wasn't there for us. read more

Friendly service order at the counter. Food is prepared fresh and made to order. Was ready in about 10-15 min. They have build your own pasta as well as premade options. It was also fun for kids to pick which shape noodle they want. The prices are reasonable and well priced for kids plates as well. All items are a la carte on the pasta side. They also will put sauce on side as an option for kids if you ask. The ambiance is typical casual cafe style. I was pleasantly surprised by the bakery selection as well which is discounted towards the end of the day. I recommend for families because you can order the kids pasta and then get some traditional Japanese food in the other side if you want to have something different, but honestly the pasta is a great portion for adults with a decent appetite. read more

The service here is bad the workers don't seem like they want to be there at all. I waited 5 minutes to do my order because the girl was counting her drawer then finally another worker took my order. There was only a few customers in the store. One of my pet peeves are workers who don't greet customers. It was my first time in there and given how to order seems kind of intimidating I would have appreciated the workers explaining what the establishment was. They're a bakery, a noodle place, and a bento box place I think? I bought the shoyu noodles with bacon and I added chicken. It was a small portion for $15. I ordered 3 pastries and without realizing it until I got home the girl gave me the wrong pastry. I spent $30 here, but it wasn't worth my time or money because the service was bad and the food was okay. I don't recommend this place at all. read more
