Shrimp tempura donburi bowl.
Val H.

The restaurant location is ground level at Ala Moana Center (mauka), and is a small and quaint place to have a comforting meal in between your shopping. I had the shrimp and vegetable tempura donburi bowl. It was delicious. There's also an assortment of ramen and noodle dishes on the menu. The servers were friendly and efficient. Great place for friends and families.

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
Yvonne C.

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.

Spicy ramen and tonkatsu set and Takoyaki
Rosie P.

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!

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

Special Saraudon (okonomiyaki style)
Christopher K.

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.

Tonkatsu and karrage set
Roz M.

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!

Do they take reservations?

They are a quick service restaurant, you won't be waiting long if there is a line in any way! No reservations from what I saw but I promise, you'll be in and out.

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. Nothing was spicy but there was chili oil on the table if you wanted to add more heat. We got 2 nonalcoholic spritzers, one lilikoi and one hibiscus, which were each refreshing and complimented the meal. Since the service was so efficient, after eating, we still had time to zip over to Magic Island to stroll around, take in the scene and enjoy the sunset before heading back to the airport. Our last evening in Hawaii was really special thanks to this delightful restaurant!

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.

I ordered the Spicy Tan Tan Ramen, Level 3 ($19.75), and it was excellent. Level 3 definitely brought the heat--it was very spicy, but just as importantly, it was incredibly flavorful. I loved it! The others in my party all seemed to really enjoy their meals as well. We also had Wakame Tan Tan Ramen ($14.99 each), a Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl ($15.99), and Seafood Fried Rice ($19.99). Our subtotal was $89.21 before tax. The service was fast and friendly, and overall it was a great first experience. If you enjoy ramen with some serious spice and plenty of flavor, the Level 3 Spicy Tan Tan is definitely worth trying. I'll definitely be returning!

I was able to go for lunch on a random weekday which had zero wait thankfully. I ordered their Tan Tan Ramen with Pork Tonkatsu. They offer to keep the tonkatsu on the side but I like when the breading absorbs some of the flavor from the broth. The noodles were al dente and the tonkatsu was tender. I think the price is decent and the food comes out pretty fast, but the soup was grainy and had a layer of sourness that didn't hit right for me.

Seriously my most favorite gyoza of all time. It's literally perfect. Tucked away behind the bougie foliage surrounding the Alohilani, the patio dining space is both inviting and relaxing.

And the ajitama is perfectly seasoned and caramelized. I do wish the Waikiki location had lunch prices like the rest of the locations around the US. I saw $17 lunch specials and it's about twice as much here with the same menu for dinner. But still I return for my ritzy Waikiki ramen.
