    This has way too much vegetables. 6.3 out of 10
    Todd M.

    I probably ordered the wrong thing here but the poster said world famous noodles or something like that. I got Champon special...thing was loaded with vegetables. It does however say healthy. The pork it came with was overcooked and almost inedible. Kind of expensive. If I do come back I'm definitely trying something else.

    Tonkatsu Set

    My 3rd time visit Ringer Hut. Went there for dinner at 5pm on Sunday. It was melt and I got seated right away. Place still clean but the utensils was not really clean. I asked for the spoon but it was not clean. I ordered the Katsu-Don and Spicy Miso Ramen. Katsu-Don: the tonkatsu was sooooo dry and tough. No flavor and so hard to bite. It's not good at all. Spicy Miso Ramen: the 2 pieces of pork belly were sooooo dry as well. The boiling egg was cold. The noodles was too chewy. I don't think I will go back again. For these prices, I can go to other places. Hopefully they'll hv some improvements.

    This ramen place provides good service and quality ramen. The table service is better than most restaurants in Ala Moana Center. The pork broth was tasty and the meal was satisfying. The name of the restaurant doesn't quite match the quality here. I think it is underrated because of that. If you want to escape the crowds, this is good place to come for a meal.

    This is a good place for someone who wants to have a quiet lunch, away from the noise of a food court. There are plenty of seats available, although some are just wooden benches, which can be a bit uncomfortable. We ordered the Nagasaki Sara Udon. It came with lots of vegetables, which made it feel healthy, but we were hoping for a bit more depth of flavor and umami. A few days later, we noticed that we were charged $2 more than the tip we had written on the receipt. It may have been a simple mistake, but we hope it was not intentional.

    The food was yummy! I got the Special Saraudon (okonomiyaki style) I really like okonomiyaki so this was perfect for me, it had all the right flavors or a really good okonomiyaki with their own twist. My gf got the Spicy Champon, it really wasn't spicy to us so the provided chilli oil on the table hit the spot. A really good Champon, which is what they are known for. It was just the right amount of salty, good flavor and savoryness. We also got the spicy gyoza but I forgot to take a picture before we ate them . Again it wasn't spicy for us lol but was very good taste wise. Overall good tastes, and the service and ambiance was on point, tables were spread apart just enough, very homey. If you like spicy and order the spicy items I recommend to feel out the spicy and add the chilli oil as you need.

    Ordered a udon and gyoza and a tonkatsu donburi with a side order of 3 piece shrimp tempura. The udon was not hot, just luke warm, the broth was more on the sweet side. The tonkatsu in the donburi was tough. The restaurant was clean. Service was ok. Didn't get a greeting . Waters just plopped on the table and asked if we were ready to order. Food came out quickly, maybe that's why the udon was just Luke warm . Not sure if we would go back

    I think Ringer hut was great. Nothing too special, I'd say it's your stereotypical ramen shop in Ala Moana. The rice sets were great! The ramen having corn in it was a bit odd for me. But the Takoyaki was my favorite order today. The servers were nice and accommodating when I asked to make my ramen extra spicy!

    My family and I meet up with some friends for lunch at...RINGER HUT located in the Ala Moana Shopping Center ground level Mauka (mountain side) near Brug Bakery. It is a very nice, clean and spacious atmosphere. For me, the service fell short. When we first walked in, we were greeted and sat right away. That was good. However, The servers weren't very friendly or attentive to us. Some of us waited quite awhile for our food to come out and there was no update on the delay of our food. Even though my food was brought out late, it did taste yummy. I ordered the chicken oyaku don buri. The portion was generous and filling. My family and friends enjoyed their dishes as well.

    I used to go to Ringer Hut in the Bay Area. I liked the tonkatsu that they served way back. It was a really enjoyable meal. With fond memories I was happy to find they were in Ala Moana. I was finally able to go and I get a tasty lunch for a decent price. I enjoyed the donburi and they have a nice selection of beers. Things have changed since long ago in the Bay Area, but this is still an enjoyable meal.

    Kalamazoo Champon with side Tempura
    Lyle S.

    I visited Ringer Hut for Dinner on Sunday. We arrived around 5:30pm and the restaurant was fairly empty, but filled up pretty quickly around 6:00pm. We got the Edamame, Karamaro Champon with a side of Shrimp Tempura, and the Tonkatsu and Chicken Katsu Set Meal. Everything tasted great. The chili oil and vinegar served with the Champon worked really well with it. However, the bottom of the Tonkatsu was soggy since it was sitting directly on the serving plate. Since this restaurant is located in Ala Moana, there is ample parking. Overall, I was very satisfied with the meal and will definitely be coming back in the future.

    This is one of my favorite places in the Ala Moana Center. It's on the ground floor with plenty of mall parking in front. The staff greets you as you walk in. They're very friendly and accommodating with a choice of seating. The restaurant is very clean and modern and the view in the kitchen also looks the same. We had the Special Udon, Karaage Set, and Nagasaki Saraudon. We did a little substitute with couple of our dishes and they were very accommodating. The soup base is very flavorful and the rest of the food is amazingly tasty and fresh. This is my first review but I've been here several times and always consistently good.

    Located on the bottom floor of Ala Moana near the Massage Palace, Ringer Hut is a Japanese restaurant with noodles, gyoza, curry, and more options. The restaurant itself is well-lit, spacious, and feels pretty clean. We have been able to be seated each time we have walked in, but the restaurant has not been empty any time we have been. The service is quick and the people working there are efficient. The menu has a good number of options, with some combos available too. I like the tantanmen so I have gotten that each time. It is tasty, a good portion, and consistent each time I have had it. It is about $16, which does not feel crazy but also does not really feel like a deal either. Friends have gotten other ramen dishes and have liked them, and the tempura. We'll be back again!

    Katsu Curry
    Danielle V.

    My boyfriend and I came in on a Sunday afternoon during lunch time and was seated right away. The restaurant gives marugame udon vibes. There's a good amount of seating for a variety of party sizes. At first, they were really attentive by taking our orders and giving us our waters. Also it didn't take too long for us to get our order. We ordered the Katsu Curry, Side order of Chicken Karaage and the Katsudon. Everything tasted delicious and had great flavor. Very similar to what you'd get at any other Japanese run restaurant. However, I was super impressed by the Chicken Karaage. I wasn't expecting the side order to have that many pieces and to be so juicy, crispy, and packed with flavor! It went well with the curry which was more on the spicy and savory side. Once we got our food, it took a bit to get our check. But overall, I would come back again.

The sauce to dip the noodles in was good. It was flavorful, salty, and sweet. My wife had a bowl of ramen. I got to try the soup and it tasted really good. I also like how thick it was. I don't like thin soup on my ramen, so this I really liked. My daughter was gulping down her noodles... just shoving it into her mouth. That is a huge thing for me because she's picky with food. We also had the potato mochi. I also liked that one. It had good texture, crunch, and chew. It was brushed with a glaze. The flavor was good. I'm not a chicken karaage guy. But I'm mentioning it because we ordered it. The chicken karaage were good chunks of chicken. Not like other places who give small chunks. My wife liked it because it had more chicken than batter. Service - The Place had good service. The food came out on time. Servers were checking up on us without hovering or being overbearing. They paid attention when we called asking for help. I was listening to the workers, and they seem to like being there. I mean, "work is work", and no one REALLY LIKES going to work. I'm pretty sure we'd all rather be someplace else besides work. Maybe I caught them in a good mood, but, it genuinely seemed like the moral in the place was good and the people working there that night didn't mind being there. Vibe - Small, family vibe. I liked that there was buzz but it wasn't loud. When we came, most of the people there were older, but as we left later in the evening, a more younger crowd started lining up and coming in. That tells me, they appeal to a wide demographic/pallet, which is good. Overall, it's going on the list of places to go back to and recommend. I don't really like going to ramen places during the summer because it's hot. But I would go here.

    Happy to hear that Kamitoku Ramen from Ward Centre relocated to South Shore Market (previously…read moreoccupied by Scratch Kitchen). They are currently exploring a new concept, which is a bit different from what it used to be. There's quite a bit of items missing from their old menu, but they have included new dishes to try. I got their Beefy Gold which has a lighter broth. I also ordered a side of yuzu peel & juice, reminiscent of the yuzu shio ramen. I'd say that the broth is pretty good (light broth is gentle to the stomach), and the noodles were cooked well. You'll probably miss the fatty chunk of charsiu, but they now have pulled beef charsiu instead which is stringy and just as flavorful :) Service was friendly as always and they were very attentive to our needs. Ambiance is a bit more upscale than their previous Ward location, and definitely larger. Will come back again to try their Otoko-Meshi items, overall just glad that they're back!

Not as creamy as it was and now using shredded beef instead of the generous whole portions of beef...the fatty part of the beef added to the flavor. Now it's just dry shredded beef like you would get in a burrito. Ordered the Seabara and didn't even have the back fat which it's known for. The vibe is totally off too. Gone are the Japanese posters, decorations and jpop playing in the background. And also noticed not one Japanese national working there...makes me think new owners?? Sadly another once great restaurant that has become crap. Also bad idea on moving there...the former Scratch Kitchen that closed down twice...some unlucky vibes there. Won't be surprised if they close down soon too.

We had a 4 hour layover in Honolulu and it was a quick 15 minute Lyft ride here to Lucky Belly. We were the only party here right at 5:30 pm. Loved the art and clean simple elegance of the exposed brick wall and wood tables. We were greeted and served by a very friendly host. We had the duck tacos, plus the special dim sum appetizer combo of pork belly bao, lobster dumplings and oxtail dumplings. We could not pick a favorite. The variety of textures was fantastic and each of the meat fillings were perfectly seasoned and tender, delicious! Each had a different sauce- just enough, not too much.

All of the window seats were empty. In fact the restaurant was nearly empty. We were told the only option for us was the inconspicuous booth at the back of the restaurant. Not a good start. The food was okay. There was more than we were expecting, however the short ribs were a little tough. The ambiance, it was nice and empty by the time we left. Overall, what had been something we'd been looking forward to for years turned out to be a dismal disappointment. The experience left us feeling unwelcome, particularly because it seemed the staff were uncomfortable with two men simply going out for lunch. Being a Black and Asian couple shouldn't have any bearing on how paying customers are treated, but unfortunately, that's how the experience felt to us. We can overlook mediocre food or service, but feeling judged or unwelcome is something we won't overlook. We were there as paying customers and deserved to be treated with the same courtesy and respect as anyone else. Unfortunately, this is a place we won't be returning to, and based on our experience, we would not recommend it to others.
