Bad attitude servers, very salty ramen, it’s used to be very good before. Disappointed! Never come back again

Tip: Usually good amount of street parking a nice ice cream place nearby for dessert.This place is definitely a must try if you like pho. I usually go to “pho viet” but honestly this place might be just as good or even better. Unfortunately I cannot say the ramen was as great as it was okay. But I would definitely come back to try another pho or even the Thai noodle soups. Price-flavored value is p good.

A cozy spot for soup lovers! I was visiting from Florida to my sister here and I was looking for a place to take her to; She’s not a huge Asian food person. We both loved it here. The food was amazing, it was affordable, and the service was perfect. If you have any preferences, please let them know and they’ll accommodate!Vegetarian options: They have a handful of vegetarian options or you can ask them to leave certain items out if need be.Dietary restrictions: They will accommodate any food restrictions you have to the best of their abilities.Kid-friendliness: They love kids here and are very kind to them.

One of my favorite places in all of Boston. I've literally had dreams about their Tom Yum soup (although I haven't had anything else on the menu I didn't love, the Tom Yum is just next level). The appetizers are all delicious and the flan for dessert is a must!

Was killing some time in Brookline and decided to stop here for lunch; was not disappointed. The service was great! And the food was flavorful and tasty.The portion sizes were well worth the price. I could even finish my food!If I’m ever in the area again I’ll certainly stop by.

I come here to get soup to then drive 50minutes home and it’s usually still hot. Pretty good soup to make the trip for. Worth it. Ask for crunchy noodles to help you finish your remaining broth. Their Thai ice tea is consistently delicious as well.Dietary restrictions: They’ll accommodate.Parking: It’s in a suburb of Boston so parking is mixed. There’s on street and off street and depending on the time of day you have meters running or not.Kid-friendliness: The kids that work here are friendly and there’s usually a kid or two eating out front with their adults.Wheelchair accessibility: It’s all one floor, ramped, but it’s tight when busy, small shop. They do sidewalk service in the warm weather which is easier to move about.

Carried out Ramen this frigid January evening while visiting my sister. My spicy miso ramen was excellent, even in a plastic bowl. I appreciated the fact that their portions worked perfectly with the size bowls they provided after I added the spicy miso to my bowl of noodles and yummy extras. The spicy miso flavor was excellent - not too salty and and the miso was dissolved well into the broth. Highly recommend. The place was very cute as well though I can't tell you anything about the noise level as it wasn't particularly crowded when i went to pick up my food.

Soup Shack is always sooo delicious and the vibes are amazing. Why go anywhere else when you could go to Soup Shack?All of the people who work here are super nice and smiling a lot and nowhere else can you hear an Ed Sheeran song followed directly by ABBA's Waterloo. Iconic transition. After we move away from the area I will need their music playlist so that I can get nostalgic about those vibes.Of course the food is good when the establishment is filled with this much love. My partner and I have tried many of the soups and each one is unique and tasty and worth trying. Between the two of us our faves might be the Spicy Miso and Kao Soi but truly you can't go wrong with any soup at the Soup Shack.Do yourself a favor and get some soup here to warm your soul and get you through whatever toughness has got you down.

I love this place so much- I've ordered from here countless times! My go-tos are the Tom Yum Noodle Soup or Spicy Miso Ramen, which is actually spicy in my book. I recently tried the Chicken Katsu curry which was also super good. The service is super quick and the staff is nice. There's limited seating inside but they have outdoor tables too when the weather's nice.

They have changed the crispy skin pork belly to the normal cut like all other Ramen places. Hopefully they change it back since it is what made them different than all others
