    Lostah Roll
    Catherine S.

    OH MY GOD! SoCal girl visiting Boston and I wanted to experience my first lobster roll ever. We tried other places at 2pm and they were full so we headed here and my goodness we should've come here in the first place! It is very unassuming from the outside and the inside could use some love but I don't care. You can lose the aesthetics as long as the food is phenomenal and that's exactly what this was. The clam chowder was UNREAL! Best clam chowder I have ever had. It was so creamy and delicious. We thought the bowl was tiny when I came out but it was a perfect side because it was so rich. The lobster was taaaastyyy. So happy with it and the lobster was thick and chunky and tasted fresh. The toasted and buttered roll it came on added that extra layer of flavor. Excited to come back to Boston and definitely stop in here after a day of Newbury St shopping!

    We got the lobster ramen and marina bay platter. Seafood is fresh with lobster being fresh and had a nice texture. I do not however recommend the lobster ramen as it is instant noodles with lobster in it. Marina bay was good fish was a good size

    Lobster roll, warm with butter

    Tried the Lobster Roll (warm with butter) and onion rings. They were out of Lobster bisque :( I wasn't a fan of the Lobster roll, to me, the Lobster was rubbery and I had to spit out a couple bites. Just wasn't my thing. My boyfriend said tje onion rings were "ok". The service was great, really friendly servers. We sat outside and it was beautiful, really enjoyed that. I still rated a "4" because of everything was good but I guess Lobster rolls just arent my thing. If you are familiar with the InKind app, they are on there so we saved $20 by spending at least $60.

    Bostonian and Clam Chowdah

    I got the Bostonian sandwich made cold with mayo - this is WAYYY better than any other lobster roll with butter and also had the Chowdah (we demolished immediately) which is from a generations-old-recipe. I cannot recommend this place enough, it felt like we were having lunch with family or friends that we knew for ages. Very clean restaurant, super welcoming staff, and got to meet the chef too who was extremely humble and friendly. You HAVE to try this place if you're in Boston!!

    We came here on Thanksgiving day. We were excited. I checked out reviews before we went. The lobster rolls were decent. Husband ordered chicken philly sandwich and he said it was really good. He also liked the clam chowder. I also ordered the lobster Mac cheese and that was good. The place itself. Eeehhh. The bathrooms were pretty gross. Husband said the men's bathroom was dirty too. I wouldn't visit this place again. Not for the price we paid either (over $167) Server was very friendly.

    One of the better value lobster spots around, I think. Indoor and outdoor dining, service is friendly and efficient. Convenient location as well. Lobster is always pricey though, so definitely hurts a bit. The chowdah is pretty good, not fully sure if it's from Legal, but worth getting. Bostonian - always gotta get a specialty, and this was it. Less meat than the standard, but you get the fundamental experience with some savings which can't hurt. Order it hot with butter. The bread is buttered and toasted well. May not fully fill an appetite, but close. Lobstah Mac - wanted to spice it up so tried something new on visit 2. While more filling than the lobster rolls, it's not as tasty. Bowtie pasta, fair amount of cheese, and lobster meat make up a decent combo, but lobster and bread is unmatched. Skip this and just order a roll.

    First time trying Lobstah on a Roll in Boston! The service was awesome and everyone was super nice. The lobster roll was decent -- I went with the cold one (not a butter person), but it was a little plain. The salad was just lettuce and tomato, which surprised us PNW folks lol. BUT the clam chowder?? Absolute star of the meal, it was creamy, flavorful, and sooo good! Great experience!

    I absolutely loved my lobster roll here! This restaurant has a prime location on newbury street and sells a very good lobster roll for a decent price. I believe the 4 oz lobster roll was $39. The fries and salad were okay. I wish they put in a little bit of effort to make this spot look cute since it has so much potential, but it is a bit run down unfortunately.

    My very first meal was dining here and it was amazing. It wasn't too busy and staff were able to seat my right away - it was a Saturday night too! I ordered the 6oz lobster roll and lobster bisque. The roll came with hot butter on the size so I could control how much went on top. The 6oz was a true 6oz packed with both tail and claw meat. The bisque was very rich and creamy, with plenty of chunks of lobster inside. This was a great first meal and one of my favorites!

    Good little hole in the wall place. Conveniently located between all the shops. The prices were higher than what was listed on the menu which is kinda annoying but understandable. I got the lobster grilled cheese and it was really good. Overall good little neighborhood spot. Service was pretty quick- I think we were in and out within 20 mins.

    Slow service even they are not busy. We ordered lobster ramen and 2 fried combo (clam strips and oysters) and red bean shaved ice. Everything was so so, the best was the shaved ice that was light and soft. Picked this place out of all the restaurants at Newbury St because inKind app offer. Spend $60 and get $20 off but I got the mystery offer which was spend $50 and $25 off. Not that bad that I only need to pay $48 including tips for 2 people. Mostly I will spend more if I ate at other restaurants.

    Love this place. It was my first time there earlier this week. Very reasonable prices and very filling. Portion sizes for sandwiches are great. The host was very friendly, and loved the vibe. Knowing it's in Newbury Street, I was sort of expecting a pretentious, upscale, snooty type of establish at firstZ Far from it, it felt as if it's a fisherman's spot by a marina. The blue string lights bordering the ceiling made the place really cool looking. The neon light decoration and when it comes to dining, they get an A+ for super large napkins. I'm the type of person that normally would go through 10+ napkins at most places. The big 2 napkins they gave we like paper hand towels and lasted me the whole time. Ordered the fish sandwich, was done well. Also had the lobster bisque, and the clam strips with fries. Love shoestring fries which I'm glad they gave. Big bonus: larger squeeze bottles of ketchup providing, and they also have malt vinegar. When I want my ketchup, trust me, I want my ketchup. Clam strips had a nice batter and tartar sauce was delicious. My only critique is the lobster bisque is quite thick and heavy. I was expecting a lighter, runnier version. But it's perfect on a winter's day and you get your fill's worth. The cup was more than enough for it. Looking forward to trying the clam chowder, and my favorite dessert: key lime pie (I was just too full for that one sitting).

    Bostonian with  Clam Chowdah - Bowl (12 oz)
    Johnny Y.

    Since I was in Boston. I'd thought it would be fitting to try their Bostonian Lobster roll and White Chowdah. The roll is 4oz of meat. Nothing too crazy. Good portion if you're planning to go and eat other things. Bread was toasted perfectly. Even with takeout it stayed warm. The chowdahhhh. It was THICK. Not sure if that's a Boston thing? but boy having to slurp down that soup that's thicker than gravy will definitely put some meat on your bones. A bit much for my taste but some may like it!? If this was your only spot to hit up that day/night and you a big boy such as I am. I would op out to get the bigger one. Bostonian is "aite" size ya know?

We also had to wait outside since there wasn't room inside the restaurant. Additionally, they have a policy where you must order 1 dish per person or they will not seat you. You order at the front and then are seated with a beeper to pick up your food. The menu is pretty limited, but the dishes was overall seasoned nicely. The Spicy Roasted Miso Avocado Sushi Roll was better than the roasted miso avocado sushi since the best part of the dish was the spicy crumble on top. However, the sushi was oddly sized (too big for one bite, but too small and fell apart for 2 bites). The ramen was also differently flavored. The garlic was too overpowering and the texture of the noodles to other vegetables in the dish was offputting to me. However, all the dishes were presented/plated well. I probably wouldn't go back, but it was conveniently located.

    Oh my deliciousness!!! I've passed by this place for years while visiting BOS ! I noticed that…read morethere was a line outside to dine. The foodie gods must've sent me over cause I actually waited in line Today was a bit cold and a good day for ramen! Waited for about 15ish minutes.... a spot opened up for us and we were ready to order!!!! My friend ordered the TONKOTSU CHA-SHU RAMEN Flavor choice: Shio Cha-shu Ramen comes with 5 pieces of Cha-shu (Braised pork belly). I ordered the VEGETARIAN RAMEN Soy based vegan broth with menma, kikurage mushrooms, soy sauce marinated fu (wheat gluten) and umeboshi. We both added to our ramen... AJI-TAMA* Marinated soft boiled egg. I added ... GREEN SALAD Fresh mixed greens served with original salad dressing. and SHIYAKE IKURA GOHAN Rice bowl topped with grilled salmon & salmon roe. Service was fast and friendly. You can order your ramen size bowl in small, medium and large. We both chose medium size. It was plenty! I ate my leftovers for dinner! I definitely recommend this place. The food is flavorful and delicious, service is fast and food portion for the price is great!

    Santouka Back Bay is a small little ramen shop tucked away on a side street, right by Newbury St!…read more They've got 2 others locations in MA, one in Cambridge/Harvard Sq. & another in Allston. Looks like they have a couple of other locations in other states, 2 in WA & 1 in VA. This one is VERY SMALL... I would say only two tables that are suitable for parties of 4 & ~4-5 bar seats. The line is often pretty long here & people often are already standing in line outside half an hour to an hour before opening. Sometimes you can get away with just waiting for 5-15 minutes if you show up before opening. I personally think they make a decent bowl of ramen! They've been around for quite some time now & even with the dozens of new ramen shops popping up in Boston left & right, I'd still say they are in my top 5 in the city. I'd honestly come here more often if it wasn't for the line hahaha. I think the prices are reasonable & competitive w/ nearby shops. I like that they offer three different sizes for the ramens! Typically don't see that. I love getting the black garlic ramen, tantan ramen, & the miso ramen! But you honestly can't go wrong with any of the ramens they have. Highly recommend!

Such a good spot for a cozy filling meal. STEAMED CHICKEN GYOZA Soft tender and packed with a juicy chicken filling. The wrapper had the perfect bite and dipping it in the ginger sauce made it even better. A great starter. FRIED PORK GYOZA Crispy outside juicy inside and so flavorful. The pork filling was seasoned well and the crunch made each bite so satisfying. These were gone instantly. DAC BIET A rich beef broth loaded with rare steak brisket tripe tendon and meatballs.

The wontons were stuffed generously and the broth was flavorful without feeling heavy. A great balance to the richer bowls we ordered. SPICY MISO BEEF STEW This was incredible. Spicy miso broth with tender slow cooked beef and all the toppings. The spice level actually enhanced the flavor instead of overpowering it. Deep savory and so satisfying. TAN TAN MEN One of my favorites. Spicy creamy broth with ground pork bok choy and bean sprouts layered over chewy noodles. Rich bold and full of flavor in every bite. We also added marinated soft boiled eggs to our ramen and they were perfect. Soft jammy and full of flavor. Highly recommend adding one to any bowl. Overall Soup Shack really hit my craving. Everything tasted fresh portions were generous and the spicy bowls had so much depth. Loved this visit and will definitely be back.
