    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Shrimp tempura, so light and crispy
    Glenn N.

    Ringer hut is a huge chain in Japan and I was pleased to see them in Hawaii. From Nagasaki to Honolulu Ringer Hut brings Japanese-Chinese noodles to Hawaii. The style of noodles is either crispy or soft with a thick broth that coats pretty much everything. I however, gravitate more towards the traditional Japanese style Ramen noodles. The broth is so savory yet not salty at all. Their pork Kunkuni is amazing! The fat from the pork is rendered perfectly and the meat practically dissolves in your mouth. Service is impeccable and lots of parking being in, Ala Moana shopping center.

    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 Champo noodles are very good. Great quality and good service, very clean restaurant. It's inside Ala Moana shopping center, parking can be very challenging especially weekends.

You can also order your food through a QR code and pay online when you're done. There are also restrooms onsite. Parking is still small and can fill up when it's busy (you also aren't allowed to park in the Church parking lot) If you haven't eaten here before, I would suggest looking on their website at the waitlist to see how many people are on there prior to going there as they can get really busy. You can also put your name on the waitlist online so you don't have to do it on site. They have a really good text messaging system letting you know when your table is almost ready.

    We came to Honolulu and saw the line outside Ramen Nakamura, so we figured it had to be worth…read moretrying. Overall, the ramen was very good, but I want to share an important tip about their waiting system so others don't get caught off guard. When your name gets close to the top of the list, do NOT wander away. They will call your name three times, and if you're not standing there, they'll cross your name off immediately. What surprised me was that they start calling names before the current customers have even finished eating or paid their bill. I had made eye contact with the host, pointed to my name and party size, and he acknowledged me. There were still people sitting at the counter eating, and it looked like it would be another 10-15 minutes before seats opened up. I stepped away briefly and came back, only to find my name had already been crossed off the list. The party that was supposedly leaving hadn't even paid yet and was still sitting in their seats. When I explained the situation, the host simply said, "Sorry, your time passed already. I called your name three times." Their sign says they will wait 3 minutes, but in our case it felt more like they called the name three times in quick succession and then removed it. Thankfully, after some discussion, he agreed to seat us anyway. So my advice: once your name is within a couple spots of being called, stay close and pay attention. As for the food, we ordered the Oxtail Ramen (spicy) and the Cashew Pork Ramen. The ramen itself was excellent. The oxtail was tender, although it didn't have a lot of flavor on its own in the soup. They provide a separate bowl with ginger and what appeared to be a ponzu-based sauce, and the intended way to eat it is to remove the oxtail from the soup and dip it into the sauce. That definitely enhanced the flavor. The restaurant is set up with bar-style seating in a half-oval arrangement. Your party will be seated shoulder-to-shoulder, and guests will be sitting directly across from you on the other side of the counter. I'd estimate there are about 25 seats total. Service is efficient, food comes out quickly, and most customers finish and leave fairly fast. For reference, we arrived at 8:38 PM on a Tuesday with 17 people ahead of us. We were seated around 9:15 PM, our food arrived by about 9:30 PM, and we left around 10:00 PM. Overall, this would have been a 5-star experience if not for the confusion with the waiting list. The ramen is absolutely worth trying, but understanding how their queue system works will save you from a potentially frustrating experience.

As it's very hot and humid, would recommend going during when they open to avoid the long lines.

There was a couple in front of us who said they come here every time they visit Hawaiʻi and that it's a must-do stop on every trip. When you walk in, it's a small place. You can watch a team member washing the noodles and portioning them into bowls right in front of you. Then you choose your bowl size, small or large, and select your broth. After that, you get to choose from a variety of fried items and other à la carte options displayed on a warmer. Seating can be limited because of how busy this place gets. You line up to get your food, pay for it, grab your condiments, utensils, and a cup of water, then find a seat and enjoy. I've already been here twice, and after writing about my experience, I need to make a third visit happen very soon! There are not enough days off in a week to enjoy all of the amazing food on this island, but I'm going to do my best to experience as many places as I can. This place is totally worth the 45-minute commute from Wahiawa.

With this much food, your entire party could share a full meal and still be satisfied with the diverse menu options that are offered. Located on the second floor of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, along the busy corridor of Kalakaua Avenue, this is the second stateside location of TsuruTonTan Udon Noodle Brasserie after successfully opening in the heart of New York City. Originally founded in Osaka, Japan, TsuruTonTan specializes in authentic handmade udon, where the noodles themselves take center stage. Their goal is to have each bowl thoughtfully crafted and topped with a wide variety of ingredients, from aromatic bonito flakes and savory kombu kelp to locally sourced vegetables and meats, all carefully selected to complement the restaurant's high-quality noodles. The name TsuruTonTan draws inspiration from the sounds associated with the art of udon making. In Japanese, "Tsuru" represents the sound of slurping noodles, "Ton" evokes the kneading and shaping of the dough, and "Tan" signifies the cutting of the noodles. Together, these three sounds embody the spirit of TsuruTonTan and its dedication to the craft of handmade udon. What drew me into this location, with plenty of options surrounding them was TsuruTonTan's Special Dinner Set, which for a reasonable $38 diners would received no fewer than six menu items starting with their house salad which was fresh arugula lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and a vinaigrette and a small sampling of their Edamame. You also get a choice of Appetizer between chicken, tofu and shrimp tempura, of which I selected their Chicken Karaage. Then for your entrée, diners have the choice between six udons to select from, from your traditional soup based udons to one that particularly stood out to me, their Truffle Cream Udon, so I knew that I was going to order this menu item. As if that wasn't enough food, diners get to order one sushi roll that they handcraft here at TsuruTonTan and I selected their Sunfire Roll, which had a shrimp tempura mixed with cucumber, avocado and topped with spicy tuna. And then, for your final course, diners get to enjoy a scoop of ice cream, of which on this day our only option was rainbow sherbet. The first four courses to be presented to my table were the salad, edamame, Chicken Karaage, and my four slices of the Sunfire Roll. These four entrées probably would have been enough food and I would have been satisfied with my meal overall. The Chicken Karaage were five deep-fried nugget pieces served with lemon and piping hot upon served and the Sunfire Roll was a nice combination of sushi roll flavors. Then came my Truffle Cream Udon, which was topped with balls of crab meat, sliced truffle mushrooms, and shaved parmesan cheese. Creamy and cheesy goodness, this entrée was a hearty and heavy dish that combined the flavors of both Japan and Italy thanks to the heartiness of the udon noodles. The ice cream scoop was a nice touch to end what was already a filling meal. I really enjoyed my meal at TsuruTonTan Udon Noodle Brasserie with so many menu items to choose from it seems overwhelming. Thankfully they have a number of popular and recommended menu items that any visitor looking for a good meal can choose from. The $38 dinner set created specifically for Hawaii diners, which includes a spicy udon soup and a garlic shrimp rice dish, has already piqued my interest and given me a reason to return. And return I will, as long as the service, prices, and food remain as consistently strong as they are at TsuruTonTan Udon Noodle Brasserie. Offering elevated comfort food that seamlessly bridges cultures and culinary traditions, it stands out as a unique dining destination well worth revisiting.
