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.

My friend and I ordered the fried purple sweet potato as an appetizer which was just okay. Yummy but nothing to write home about. For my main, I enjoyed the tofu brothless noodles which came with soup on the side. It was so cold out, so this was really pleasant. The noodles were yummy, but not very memorable. Overall, a nice visit and a great place to warm up on a cold winter night

They have the best whitefish I have ever had, the latkes are always crispy, and the matzo ball soup is very comforting. My partner had the corned beef this past visit and said it was just ok, but everything else is a 10/10. The space is gorgeous, bright, and spacious, and the staff are always so friendly.

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!

Went to Soup Shack with some friends because I was craving ramen and this place did not disappoint…read more Everything was so flavorful, fresh and comforting. 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.

INCREDIBLE food! Omg this place is such a hidden gem, just a little walk away from coolidge corner,…read morebut you absolutely can't pass it up. I was a little skeptical at first with how extensive their menu is, reaching across different cuisines, but regardless if there's one thing they know it's soup. They somehow master the distinct flavor profiles between each unique dish, making every single one something new and surprising with an exceptional depth of flavor. My personal favorites were the red ramen and black tonkotsu, but seriously everything they have to offer is next level. I would also HIGHLY recommend their chicken karaage appetizer, I couldn't stop reaching in for more! On top of excellent food, their service is unmatched! Whether you come for dinner or lunch, you're met with smiling faces and a welcoming vibe that just sets the tone beautifully for the rest of the meal. Our server was incredibly kind and generous, allowing us to just sit back and enjoy the meal. Overall, 10/10 experience and I am highly looking forward to my next visit!

We came here for brunch on a Saturday and got the Chili Garlic Bibimbap and Mushroom Shawarma Wrap. Both were delicious, but were a health-foods variation of these classic menu items and had different flavors (kale, beets, and broccoli in the bibimbap and grape tomatoes in the shawarma wrap).

Food: I ordered the avocado toast, miso soup, and mint tea. The miso soup was umami goodness. Lots of mushrooms and tofu. The mint flavor of the tea was overpowered by the addition of fresh ginger and lemon but was still tasty and comforting on a cold day. The avocado toast was a bit of a letdown. Very bland and would have been vastly improved by the addition of some kind of seasoning, even just a sprinkle of salt. Overall - I would come back, just skip the avocado toast.
