Soup Shack Brookline,

"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."

"Life is Short F…..it up! Family, Flavor, Friends Today I decided to change it up a bit from the burgers to this small little boutique, Asian fusion Ramen place. We started with the fried oysters with a very nice spicy mustard. Then we went with the fries, squid balls. I think they’re called Toyoki. But the biggest surprise was the Black tonkatsu Ramen. When first having Ramen one must first have a sip of the broth. This broth was a pleasant surprise is very Unami, especially with the black sesame. After one sip, I gave you that feeling when you just side like you’ve had the best comfort food. The noodles for typical of Ramen noodles perfectly cooked nice and chewy and absorb the flavor out the broth. Play veggies in the Ramen as well. But what really stands out was the cha siu, thin sliced and large cut, but what you will noticed is that it has the perfect cut, four layers, marbling meat and more marbling. Then some thing that most Ramen places miss they had crispy skin, barbecue pork, big portions, and they keep the skin very crispy. I recommend anyone who comes here to try this. Update 1/2/24. It’s unfortunately but they are no longer doing crispy pork belly just the regular one. Hope they bring it back as this is what set them apart from the rest"

"I ordered delivery tonkotsu ramen from Soup shack and I would order from here again or go in person. It’s nice how the restaurant separates the broth from the noodles and toppings so that they don’t get soggy. The large bowl helps prevent the noodles from clumping together. The tonkotsu broth was more spiced and slightly less creamy than other tonkotsu broths I’ve had but I enjoyed the flavor and would probably get pho rather than ramen in the future."

"First time at any SoupShack. Our ramens were great! The marinated egg was superb and the special (without eggs) was a nice twist on Japanese and Thai cuisine. Atmosphere was okay - restaurant was clean, but I have a problem with them playing explicit versions of songs since this is a family restaurant."

"Came here for the first time and ordered the gapow tonkotsu. It has the spicy tonkotsu broth with thai basil chili and cha-shu pork. Ramen was overall very satisfying. Soup was a little too sweet to my liking but still tasty and flavorful."
