The interior of the place is so cute and I love the demon paintings on the walls. The lady who served us was super patient with our mom asking a million things and gave us a great service. We loved the food and would love to come back if we are in the area again!

Firstly - service was great! Woman was very kind, and the food came out incredibly fast. It was…read moreonly me, and 1 other table in the restaurant so it was pretty quiet! I ordered the Tom Kha Soup with Dumplings - the flavor of the broth was delectable! Super tasty, spicy - I looooved the mini bok choys. Unfortunately, I did not like the dumplings. They were shrimp & pork - the pork was wrapped around the shrimp, which made the texture of bitting into the dumpling strange to me! Overall - I would try something else on their menu as it all looked great, this one item just wasn't a hit for me!

After a long day of walking around in the cold, Soup Shack was the perfect dinner. Popping in…read morearound 7:30 p.m. on a Thursday in March, the wait was 20 minutes, so we ordered it to go. After 7 minutes waiting, we were in a Lyft back to our flat. The takeout carried well and comes with the broth in separate containers to be poured over the noodles. The Red Ramen was full of flavor and the right amount of spice. The pho was excellent as well. Service was kind and there are tables and wall seating if you dine in.

The Duck Rice Bowl was wonderful ($17.95), and so were the agedashi tofu ($8.95) and takoyaki ($9.95). The portions are very generous. The interior has a decent amount of seating and the staff were very polite. It's good to come hungry too because they are FAST.

I've been here a few times over the last few weeks because winter's really hitting hard and a nice…read morewarm bowl of noodles with broth seems more than appropriate. The Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup is a classic and my go-to order here - noodles are bouncy with just the right amount of chew, and the beef is fragrant and tender. Definitely take in a deep breath of the dish once it hits your table, and you'll already feel rewarded for braving the piercing cold to get your noodle fix. The cucumber salad and marinated wood ear mushrooms are also favorite small bites. Service is pretty straightforward; sometimes there's a wait, and they're usually accurate with providing wait times. Keep an eye out for the lunch specials!

The hype is worth it. I've heard so much about this place and finally decided to try it and I was…read morenot disappointed. There was a huge line outside the restaurant but they gave you menus and took your order in line. Everything was pretty fast and efficient even though they were busy. The inside was bigger than expected, unsure if there's another restaurant connected or just one large area. But we were at bar seats, although it's not a bar just similar seating. They had music going and you can see all the workers vibing, it was good energy to see while eating. The menu isn't large but there is option for cold or hot and spicy. Pick the cold noodles!! They are so good, the soup was good too but the cold noodles are definitely the star of the show. The portion size is great, it was more than I expected and the portion with protein and everything was balanced well. The bowl came with beef, ginger, seaweed and I think tempura. The tempura was a perfect crisp to add into each bite. Unfortunately in the broth it did get pretty soggy.

The hot niku beef udon had such a deep, rich, umami broth that was unforgettable. The spice that…read morecame through was a hint of Szechuan-mala which I really enjoyed. Udon noodles are made in-house and cooked very well, not overcooked and perfect chew. Ordered two bowls and the bill total was $47, quite steep but haven't found a comparable udon restaurant yet! This is their second location and it's quite small and their line forms outside. Definitely planning for a future visit to try their cold udon option!

I believe you still order at the counter and they give you a number to leave on the table. I loooooove their iced matcha drinks, my favorite is the strawberry jam. I always feel like I drink it too fast that's how much I like it. I'm not sure how matcha is normally made but I watched them make it, it's like filled with milk and then one scoop of matcha. They have other flavors I've never tried but one day. Also their pao de queijo is yummy. Fresh cheesey bread!!! Money wise it's better to buy a four pack but they also sell them in singles if you just want one. I will say, the problem here and at the other location....is the time you have to wait. My pao de queijo was ready in minutes. My matcha....well almost 15 minutes. Only one guy was making drinks for a long time until someone came to help. They're making orders for takeout and dine in at the same time so I understand but it requires patience... But the quality is good, a little pricey so I'll come back. I also like the interior at this location, bright inside and lots of seating.

Did not show up for many many years, suddenly I came here for Miso Ramen and bowl made my day. I ordered Regular size but I should have Large size, they have S, R, and L. Had to finish all soup. Kitchen work is super smooth in Zen spirit, soup and noodle was just perfect. Chashuu did not hit my new favorite bell but still good. Although I could use more green onion without upgrading order. Temperature of the soup and noodle done balanced well, I could not ask more. Great chef, staffs and very professional casual business mind, I will be coming back soon for Miso Ramen which I always have been asking at most of my Ramen Way All My LifeThanks !

I tried the tsukemenつけ麺, and was a bit disappointed…read more.. Shoyu Tsukemen: The tsukemen noodles were much larger than the ramen noodles; a small portion had 200 grams of noodles, which were quite thick and chewy. The chashu叉焼 was stewed until tender, but the broth was extremely oily and had a strong porky smell, which was nauseating. Karaage: It was a little overcooked, but fresh and hot, so it was still pretty good. The sauce was a bit spicy, which was interesting. Aji-tama: The taste was neither good nor bad, but I found eggshell in it. After I reported this, the staff first asked if I had cut myself, and then readily gave me a refund, which was nice.

Got tons of food to share with my friends - soup dumplings, spicy beef roll (recommended to get spicy), Kung Pao chicken, pork and bean curd, Szechuan fried fish -- and end the meal with some sweet orange slices!

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. So much flavor and such a generous portion. Comforting, savory and the kind of bowl that warms you instantly. MI WONTON Light clean and comforting. 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.
