For a quick lunch I stopped by Noodle Lab. At Friday noon it had a small line of 2 people. I ordered a tori paitan ramen ($7.99) with egg ($1.99), bean sprouts (+$1), and soy braised pork belly ($2.5). I also ordered 2 pork belly bao ($6.99). I initially thought the tori paitan broth had a lot of flavor, but it was the pork belly. The pork belly was chunks of Chinese style braised pork belly, not Japanese style chashu. This proved disappointing, especially at a place that signals Japanese ramen by having tori paitan. The pork belly bao had too much hoisin and not much else in the sauce. Price is reasonable given the smaller portion sizes. Ultimately it doesn't stand out in my mind. read more

We got the ramen with the veggie broth and it was absolutely delicious. The spocy flavor in the broth, the noodles , the add ons were all absolutely delicious as well. The service was quick as expected and the ambience for the food hall was super chill. I could not have asked for more on a chilly boston day than warm broth made delicious! read more

Noodle lab is located in the Boston public market and has lots of seats available for enjoying your meal. We ordered the bao buns and miso ramen. The bao buns were fantastic. The meat was cooked perfectly wasn't chewy or hard and the sauce was delicious. The miso ramen was perfect to warm up after a night of walking around chilly Boston. Service was pretty quick. read more

We had ramen and the gyoza. As recommended by the people at the store, the old gentlemen tried being helpful but was rude and felt entitled to pick our food on our behalf. Bordering on disrespectful we considered it tone deaf and moved on. The ambiance was modest, public house which was fine. Coming to the food, the ramen was dry! No soup/broth, JUST dry! dry!!! And no we didn't order it without broth. The staff were unfriendly and looked like they didn't care. Feels like the public house is being paid to have this restaurant in the space. read more

Maybe I was expecting something different but Noodle Lab in Boston Public Market was super underwhelming. It started off wrong with ordering. Apparently you're supposed to fill out the paper and that's the only way you can order. Ok... However, the two people who ordered after me didn't have to turn in a paper, they just verbally ordered like I tried to do but got yelled at. The stall is clean and cute and modern. The menu is easy to read and understand. I ordered a chicken ramen bowl with pickled mushrooms and a shoyu egg. I also ordered roti. It took forever to get my meal because they burnt the roti twice before getting it right. However, I'm glad that I got it because it was the best part of my meal (and it wasn't made fresh, it was a purchased item that they just cook for you.) The ramen was edible. I wouldn't ever come here craving ramen. The broth was basically chicken stock. There weren't many noodles. The chicken was old and dry and hard. The mushroom were off. The shoyu egg was overcooked and also old. I ate it because I had to, not because I wanted to. The best part of the experience was the curry sauce for the roti and the cute lady working the food line (she was not the one who chastised me for trying to verbally order.) read more

If you're looking for a spot that brings flavor, creativity, and comfort all in one bowl, Noodle Lab is the place. The moment you walk in, the vibe is modern and inviting, and the staff is attentive without feeling rushed. The menu has a great variety, but everything feels thoughtfully made instead of just thrown together. I tried the ramen and it was outstanding--rich broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and the toppings were fresh and balanced. You can tell they care about ingredients and presentation. Portions are generous and worth the price. I also love that they have options for different spice levels and dietary preferences. Overall, Noodle Lab is one of those places you end up recommending to friends without even meaning to. Whether you want something cozy or you're just trying something new, it never disappoints. I'll definitely be back! read more

The ramen was fresh and delicious, and the service was very fast. I will say that each add on for the ramen outside the base of ramen and broth is additional cost, so it adds up quick. However, if you pick and choose carefully you can still end up with a delicious bowl. I got the tori paitan ramen with an egg, pork belly, and pickled shiitaki and really enjoyed it! Definitely a good stop. read more

An incredible addition to the market here! They have dumplings ramen curry and a fab selection of toppings. I got the spicy ramen with pork belly and an egg and it is AMAZING. Every single person sitting at pine bar right now has a bowl! Fast and super reasonable price the meat was meltingly good and everything done to perfection. I'll definitely be back for lunch to try more! read more

Noodle Lab - Menu - Ramen Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Tasted like feet and there was a dead fly in my ramen, my soft boiled egg smelled funky. dont come here.

Omg delicious! The creamy chicken broth has so much flavor, I'd get this everyday if it were for me.

I was pretty sad when Perillas closed, but I'm even happier that the Noodle Lab took its place! The Noodle Lab is a great fast-casual location to pick up something quick during work. There is no dedicated seating, so if you order at peak times, you might not find a spot, but that's the nature of the public market. I love the pork belly rice bowl, plus a soft-boiled egg. Great flavor, very filling, and a good amount of meat. The egg is usually a little bit overcooked, but still not quite hard-boiled, and I think it's a worthwhile addition. They are a small but popular location, and relatively new, so I think they are still working some things out. This means that now and then, there are some hiccups. Sometimes they run out of items, especially towards the end of the day. Once they forgot an item. Anytime this happens, they are very apologetic and kind about it, and try to make up for it. read more

Noodle Lab is a fast food noodle stand located inside of the Boston Public Market. This is my go to place during lunch to grab a quick bowl of noodle soup. While this is no spectacular noodle restaurant, it does serve up fast piping bowls of noodle soups that are both affordable and filling. It is definitely perfect cold weather food as all soups are piping hot. You gave different proteins as an add on option. I have tried a few. The pork belly is extremely fatty so some might not like this. The thinly sliced pork is more lean and also very thinly sliced. Surprisingly, the best protein in my opinion is the add on egg. I could order up and eat the soy egg all by itself. It's that good. Majority of the time the yolk is just how I like it, gooey on the inside. I only got a fully cooked egg once. Sometimes I think I order the noodle soup just so I can add the egg. I have tried four noodle soups and will list them in the order that I enjoyed the most. The tonkotsu and spicy tonkotsu are pretty flavorful but would pale in comparison with the real deal Japanese ramen shops. It is not rich in collagen. They ramen noodle is okay. I would definitely try this when I want a quick bite. The Tom Yum noodle soup had a nice balance of spicy and sour. This dish uses a thinner threadlike noodle. It's perfect for cold weather. The laksa is a spicy curry broth noodle soup served with clear flat noodles, chicken, tomato and cilantro. To my surprise, it was not spicy at all and was more sweet from the coconut milk than anything. I didn't enjoy this as much as I did with all of the others that I have tried. I want to emphasize again that this is a fast food noodle soup stall so don't go in with high expectations. In terms of flavors, none of the soup broths are authentic. It is just a quick take or faux version of the various noodle soup from different Asian countries. And there is nothing wrong with this if you work in the area and wanted to grab a quick lunch. I would only go here when there is no time to dine at a restaurant. And I would only have this when the weather is colder outside. read more

Came here in the early morning on a rather chilly fall day and saw that this place was open so I figured that I'd give it a go since a bowl of ramen sounded phenomenal on a cold day! Parking around here is an absolute headache since it's smack dab in the middle of the city. I'd recommend taking public transportation and have a nice walk around the area (unless you want to pay for parking at the garage). The shop is located inside the Boston Public Market and the first thing that struck me was the prices. Many of the rice bowls (if not all, can't recall) were under $5 and bowls of ramen start at just under $9 which is a bargain considering the area. I opted for the ramen combo that includes a rice bowl for ~$12.95. I got the pork belly rice bowl and the tonkotsu ramen with egg, white onion and pork belly. My partner got the tonkotsu spicy miso which she enjoyed though she wished it was spicier. Unfortunately the tofu rice bowl was disappointing as the tofu was cold and bland overall. Now is this the best ramen in Boston? Nope! Is it still delicious for what you pay for? To me the answer was yes. The broth was fresh and not overly oily. The pork belly while not as tender as the higher tier ramen shops had a lot of flavor and the sauce they tossed on the rice bowl was delicious! If I were in the area and needed a quick ramen fix I would definitely stop by. NOTE: Make sure to fill out the paper menu selecting what you want (it's required!). Service was prompt and speedy though to be fair it was around 10am on a Tuesday and there was no line for us. read more

*To preface, this is a review for the dining experiences I had before March 2020. :- ) Noodle Lab is a no frills grab-n-go shop situated in the Boston Public Market. There's almost always a line to place your order but it goes by quick. The wait for the food's usually the longer part! Their menu offers rice bowls, ramen noodles, and side dishes. I've tried their Curry Tofu Rice Bowl ($4.95 as a base price and $1 for each topping), Tonkotsu Miso Ramen ($8.99), and Tonkotsu Spicy Miso Ramen ($8.99). You can choose up to three toppings for their ramen bowls. I usually get the silken tofu cubes, enoki mushrooms, and sweet corn as toppings and they're always super fresh! Their portions (toppings-wise, too) aren't very big. Their wavy ramen noodles, however, are always well done with a perfect chew to 'em. :- ) I'd highly recommend the Tonkotsu Spicy Miso if you're looking for a quick, hearty bite because the broth they use is amazing and packs a good heat. The non-spicy version isn't too flavorful. I'd recommend skipping the Curry Tofu Rice Bowl- it just wasn't what I expected. The curry consistency was watery, which made the rice soggy and the overall flavor very bland and depleted. read more

Before it gets too hot for soup (is it really ever too hot for soup?), I hit up Noodle Lab for a bowl of ramen. Nice and simple process here, they have order sheets and pens in front. Write your name, pick a few boxes with X'es and they put together your lunch to order. I chose the regular ramen, adding sweet corn, roast pork and enoki mushrooms. A few minutes later, my name was called. I grabbed a spoon and some chopsticks and it was ready to eat! Delicious rich broth, the pork was a little fatty but delicious. Overall, a very nice and filling meal! read more

The experience was solid, for sure, and I fully admit I might be overthinking this, but sorry kid, for me, there's a little more to Ramen than this. an egg, some pork belly, and tofu just didn't do the trick. There is something to be said for simplicity, and the menu was not too intimidating. I will say though regarding the toppings: I don't agree with how this is executed. Only three of these are free, however, diced onions and pork belly are not on the same plane. My advice: have veggies toppings be unlimited and free, and have limited toppings be pricier proteins; $9 is already pretty expensive. For me, as is the ramen lacks excitement! It would also be great to have an option to try little cups of the broths (though I didn't ask... if this is possible, lowkey advertise it, maybe?). Anyways: went for some Tonkotsu Miso and toppings of a soft boiled egg, pork belly, and some silken tofu. The broth was a little heavy on the salt, but otherwise alright. Though it wasn't quite as divine as the Spicy Tonkotsu I had at Shabu Zen. If you're asking why I didn't get spicy at Noodle Lab, heat is relative, and I wanted my taste buds intact that day. Leave me alone! Noodles were alright, but ramen is hard to get wrong, similarly, silken tofu and soft boiled egg were fine. I was a fan of the pork belly, and while they didn't skimp, a little more wouldn't have hurt, but extra protein is [almost] always welcome. So, in summary: a solid bowl of ramen, but expensive and with a price structure with proteins on the same plane as veggies. The broth was just alright. read more

While this restaurant describes itself as "fast casual," I've honestly had better ramen out of an instant noodle cup/package. The ramen here comes in two sizes: regular and large (+$1), with four different broth options: curry, tonkotsu, tonkotsu miso, and tonkotsu spicy miso. There's a variety of toppings for you to choose from ranging from pork loin, slow cooked pork belly, and pickled shiitake mushrooms to edamame, diced white onions, and kimchi. Your first three toppings are free, although you can add additional toppings for $1 each. For $4 more, you can also combo your ramen with either pork or veggie gyoza, wakame salad, or any rice bowl. I ordered the ramen and pork gyoza and selected the tonkotsu broth with slow cooked pork belly, enoki mushrooms, and a marinated soft boiled egg. First and foremost, the tonkotsu broth is incredibly bland, although the mouthfeel is creamy. The texture of the ramen noodles was actually really good (bouncy, not too soft). However, the slow cooked pork belly was dry and tough, and the marinated soft boiled egg (erred on almost hard boiled) was not at all marinated. The only redeeming part of my meal was the pork gyoza, which I actually really enjoyed! The gyoza skin was thin and the pork filling was both well seasoned and generously sized. Overall, I would not recommend ordering any combination of the tonkotsu broth, slow cooked pork belly, or marinated soft boiled egg. read more

This review is purely for the rice bowl. Came on a rainy Saturday, and this place was the first thing I smelled when I walked into the Public Market. You order by filling out a short form and handing it to the cashier. Veryyy efficient. I got my Pork Belly Bowl with a soft boiled egg within 5 minutes of ordering. It hit the spot! The meat is nicely marinated and saucey, so your rice becomes very fragrant. They don't give very much meat (2-3 slices), and the soft boiled egg was a little overcooked. HOWEVER, considering this cost only $6 and was perfect on a gloomy rainy day, I'll let it pass. The portion was just big to satisfy me, so it might not be enough if you're hungry. read more

Decided to try this ramen place out because it was conveniently located and warm. Overall the broth was tasty in the soup, but I was expecting something different in comparison to ramens I'm So Cal. The noodles were more on the firm side and decently flavored, but the rice bowl had way too many onions and too large of pieces to honestly enjoy them. It took away from the flavor of the meat. For the price it wasn't bad, but overall will not return. read more

Absolutely the best wonton soup I have ever had. Made from scratch (assuming with love) by the Noodle Lab crew. I was sporting a vicious cold during our visit to Boston so I hopped on every opportunity to slurp down tasty teas and soup. The "$7.99 made from scratch wonton soup" sign at Noodle Lab hooked me in an instant. Fatima, who was working the booth, was so sweet. She graciously split our one serving of soup into two bowls so I would contaminate my mother's half. What made the soup extra-special? Freshly steamed bok choy and carrots that are prepared separately for every bowl (as fresh as it gets), soft and flavorful dumplings and bonus noodles mixed in to the soup. The flavor, texture, sinus drainage...it was exactly what I needed and for a brilliant price. Note: Noodle Lab is located in the new Boston Public Market. read more

Came to Noodle Lab for lunch with friends. We were pretty hungry so got the large ramen noodles. Overall the food was alright if you are looking for a quick meal. Coming from Toronto, I have ramen on a regular basis. Comparing the ramen to what I'm used to it lacked a bit of flavour. This is okay if you are looking for something light. You are super limited to the number of toppings you can add because each additional topping is $1. I ended up paying almost $14 for a medium sized bowl of noodles. Seating is a pain too. I was here on a Sunday afternoon and had to wait over 15 minutes for a seat in the market. Not Noodle Lab's fault but just a warning to all visitors. Overall decent place for lunch but probably not a fancy place for a meal. read more

I decided to get some ramen while I wait to order a lobster roll from Red's. I ordered the tonkatsu spicy miso broth & chose soft boiled egg, slow cooked pork belly, and spinach as my toppings. If you want to add more than the 3 allotted, it will be $1 each. Seems like a steep price if you want to add things like mushroom or vegetables. I would definitely add chili oil to make it even spicier as the broth isn't too spicy. The soft boiled egg would have looked nicer if it was cut in half, but they just plop it in. Which is fine, tastes the same, just for some aesthetic points, halved would have been more appealing lol. Overall, it was ok. The noodles were a little harder than I'd like, the egg was still a bit cold, understandable tho since it is a soft boil. Would I come back again? Probably not, but it did its job to fill me up in the morning. read more

Noodle Lab - Tonkatsu spicy miso - Ramen Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The noodle lab caught my eyes when I walked into the Boston public market. Their ramen options look good but I wanted to get a quick bite. So I got the rick bowl with pull pork shoulder and a side of pork gyoza. The pull pork shoulder was flavorful but a bit dried. I love the sauce that they were in but it was a bit too little. Their gyoza was subpar and nothing special. They were a bit cold. Saw them took it out from a pre-package from the fridge and warmed them up from the broth. Definitely would not recommend the gyoza. However the soy vinaigrette that serve with the gyoza was pretty good. I used it on the rice bowl instead because it added the slight acidity that it needed to cut the richness of the pork. For $5, the rice bowl is a must get (simple and quick); however I would avoid the gyoza. read more

Great location inside the Boston Public Market and one of the only places where you can get food very quickly and sit down to eat within less than 10 mins. Tried their tonkotsu ramen and their spicy ramen, the customization of the ramen is great because you get to pick 3 toppings for no extra charge and $1 extra with additional toppings after that. Curious about their rice bowl offerings, specially with a combo deal of ramen and a rice bowl for about $12 which seemed like a great deal! The employees were super welcoming and eagerly described the sauce options by the counter. They offer weekly specials that rotate a lot and differ from their usual offerings, great option to keep checking back for tasty options. Would return when in the area! read more

Noodle Lab - Ramen Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Noodle Lab is located within Boston Public Market and the line was cray cray when I went (lunchtime), so my expectations were high. Although I think they're build-your-own ramen style is different and they definitely have efficient service, the actual taste of the food was super average (if not below). I ordered their tonkatsu spicy miso broth with soft boiled egg, pork belly, and enoki mushrooms as my toppings. The broth flavor was honestly comparable to cup noodle soup flavors with the blandest of kicks for spice :/ It felt similar to making your own late night ramen and tossing a bunch of random ingredients on top. The toppings were average -- nothing to rave about. It pains me to give their food one star (I feel so mean), but I'm generously giving two as a nod to their quickness because it really was amazing how fast they took care of such a long line. read more

Noodle Lab - Tonkatsu spicy miso broth + pork belly, soft boiled egg, and enoki mushrooms - Ramen Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Noodle Lab wasn't the greatest, but I wasn't angry with it. It was a solid A-OK. The most important part of ramen is the broth. The tonkotsu miso didn't disappoint me; it was flavorful, salty, and a little spicy towards the end, when I didn't have anything else savory to balance it out. The noodles were tasty and solid enough where they didn't turn into mush. The toppings is where I have an issue with Noodle Lab. They taste great themselves... the problem is how the ordering is done. You can choose up to 3 toppings, with any additional toppings being +$1 each. Sounds normal, but there's a catch: they group the premium toppings in with the regular toppings. So a dash of diced onions is in the same category as a few slabs of pork belly. If you only get 3 toppings, you're not going to want to waste too many choices on smaller toppings like onions, spinach, and mushrooms... and it ultimately detracts from the ramen as a whole. You're not going to want to spend an extra $1 on some bean sprouts or a single bunch of enoki mushrooms. What they *should* do, is ask you to choose one protein (pork belly, chicken, or other main ingredient), then give you 3 additional toppings (enoki mushrooms, bean sprouts, corn, diced onions, ...). Fix the topping issue, and I'd give this place a 4/5. read more

Noodle Lab - Ramen Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Forrest Gump would have said this place is like life. Even when I'm not hungry I swing by to check out the dish of the day. I've seen some repeats, but a lot of the time it's something I haven't tried before, or now they're using pork when last time they used chicken, or now it's $1 more expensive than last time. It's a rollercoaster up in this place. I'll second what some other people have said, it's a bit pricey for not a huge amount of food. But that's essentially the motto of Public Market: "You're gonna pay a lot, but you're not gonna get much". Once you get past that, Noodle Lab is probably the best food stand there. It's always fresh-tasting, the broths are interesting and the noodles are legit different for every dish. It's definitely my go to when I'm too lazy to make it to Gene's. read more

It doesn't look like much when you walk past, but they have a pretty solid operation going on here. I've had a little bit of everything so I think it fair to say I can give this some honest commentary. $ - this place is a lot less pricey than most of the places in Haymarket, but for some dishes, you get what you pay for. Ramen - would probably never buy again. It tasted fine. If you're having a craving for ramen, this is not the way to satisfy it. I find that the portion isn't that great and the broth is "ok." Rice Bowls - if you want something cheap and possibly quickly filling, out the rice bowls are worth it. Curry - I think their curries are what they do best and are also where the portions are the best. I'm also ridiculously picky about curry as someone whose home and family cooking has always been made up of a lot of curry. The chicken Kutsu curry is a staple and is usually available every day as their ongoing special. It's $6.99 and for an extra dollar you can get extra chicken which I usually do. Sometimes the extra chicken is actually too much. There was another curry dish that they had in place of the Katsu but I don't remember the name of but I reluctantly tried it and it was also very good. When I go here for lunch this is usually what I buy. Environmental impact - The biggest gripe that I have with this place is their environmental impact which is pretty high. They use those plastic containers that some places do for takeout and for the volume of people they serve they have no recycling program in place. So I imagine despite the fact that the city is supposed to be fairly environmentally conscious those containers are getting shucked in the regular trash and they are problematic to recycle anyway. It would be nice if they had a wash And bring back program to get your bowl refilled and you get a discount off your food or you turn it back in and they can use it again and they can save money on their supplies. read more

This place is fire I come here at least once a week on my lunch break. The curry flavor ramen is the best! I normally request bok choy, sweet corn and a boiled egg - bomb!
