    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Katsu donburi
    Tasha K.

    I wasn't expecting Ringer Hut to be this good! We got the Katsu Donburi, Spicy Miso Ramen, and Nagasaki Saraudon. All of the dishes came out piping hot and were delicious! The Katsu Donburi reminded me of classic ones I've had at Japanese restaurants, and the Saraudon is so unique. We also got some gyoza and yakimeshi, which were great add-ons for our already filling meals. The best part was how affordable these large portions were. Vibe: The staff is so hard working and nice. Service is fast and I would definitely come back! There are lots of tables in the restaurant and a bathroom near the kitchen. Parking: Ala Moana Center has a large free parking lot, making it easy to come to Ringer Hut.

    I was so excited to try this spot when we stumbled upon it. Had the Nagasaki Sarudon for $17.50 and it was just okay. It had a lot of veggies on top which I loved but it was cooked with too much corn starch. Hubby had the katsudon $17.50 and although it had great flavor, it had too much broth with it that it drenched the rice and almost made it soupy. The inside is very clean and the servers were wonderful. Unfortunately, it won't be one of the good spots o would come back to when I'm at Ala Moana.

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.

Their noodles are made in-house (following authentic Sanuki traditions from Japan) and cooked daily. Customers order their noodles at the counter, pick their tempura from a self-serve station, and pay at the end. What's even more impressive- patrons can watch the chefs make the food right in front of them (making for a cool dining experience). Highly recommend getting there early- lines are insane! But for the most part, the line moves fast because meals are dished out quickly and guests eat and leave in a timely manner. And prices are relatively low compared to other places. I ordered the #2 Creamy Broth- creamy chicken broth topped with juicy pork chashu and a flavorful seasoned egg 10/10! This was absolute fire!!! My wife ordered the Chicken Katsu- lightly battered, well seasoned and packed with flavor. We also ordered a side of Shrimp Tempura and Potato Croquettes. Both were equally delicious, but the potato croquettes hit the spot with a well seasoned potato mash, encased in a golden deep fried breadcrumb 10/10! It's an absolute must!

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!

They their own take on the oxtail soup and they have garlic rice plate dishes as well. I came in for the usual ramen during thei soft opening. They used to have a wide variety of ramen flavors but now reduced to 3 ramen flavors. I used to be big fan of the spicy which I'll miss but seabura and the beefy wild is good. I ended up getting the beefy wild. The taste a d presentation of the ramen has changed too. The ramen noodles if I remember correctly were a little thicker but I dont know if its been a while but it does feel thinner which i do actually prefer it that way. They removed some toppings, notably bean sprouts from the ramen. Not really fan of bean sprouts so not a big change I'll miss. The beef char siu was still flavorful as ever, but instead of it being a big chunk of meat it was presented shredded in the ramen. Service was fast and attentive and gad an overall good time. Would come again to try their other stuff on the menu. It was a soft opening, but I hope they add more ramen flavors variety like the spicy ramen, and bring back the way they used to have their char siu as I preferred to take a big bite out of the juicy beef in my bowl.

The biggest issue, however, wasn't the wait it was the outdoor dining experience. Sitting on the patio felt like being dropped into Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. Every imaginable bird seemed to be there: little birds, big birds, one-legged birds, scruffy birds, sick-looking birds, and fearless "gangster" birds that stared you down and swooped in the moment food hit the table. They hopped onto empty chairs, circled the tables, and constantly tried to steal food, making it impossible to relax and enjoy the meal. I understand that outdoor seating comes with the occasional bird, but this was on another level. The restaurant should consider better bird deterrents because the constant interruptions took away from what was otherwise a very good meal. If you order takeout or sit indoors, you'll probably have a much better experience. The food is worth trying, but unless the bird situation is addressed, I wouldn't choose the outdoor seating again.
