Soup Shack (brookline)

Had the chicken vermicelli salad! Very tasty! I’ll have to try the ramen next time but it was so nice out that I couldn’t resist. Wish there was more, but definitely reasonably priced with outdoor seating fast service!

I ordered the Black Tonkotsu Ramen. It has Pork broth, cha-shu pork (marinated braised pork belly), crispy pork belly, menma (Japanese bamboo), nori, wood ear mushrooms, sweet corn, scallion, shredded red pepper, black sesame in black garlic oil. It was savory broth. The crispy porky belly was delicious, thick cut, with crispy skin. There was also the more tender braised pork belly which was thin sliced. The toppings were plentiful.The Pork Bulgogi Steamed Bun was also excellent. It was very flavorful and tender and the bun was soft. It has many pieces of scallions on it, so make sure you like scallions, which I do, so it was perfect.The service was good. I was checked on and my water was refilled.I would definitely come back to try this place again.Street parking can get difficult right outside, but there is a nearby metered parking lot and plenty of street parking. It can just be very full during peak times for the area.

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.

I’ve been coming to this place for awhile Super love this small restaurant. Great value for money and flavorful food. And They’re very attentive to customer needs.
