Absolutely delicious food and very friendly staff! And no cashews on the menu (which is great for those with tree nut allergies)!

The mood here was amazing, and the food was mind blowing. I would absolutely eat here again. The customer service was amazing, and the staff are so nice. Also the pad Thai was out of this world read more

We love this place, people and food are top notch!!! Best bao buns around!!! Drunken noodles are delish!!! Come check it out

Excellent food and friendly staff - my go to lunch spot. It's too bad that curbside dining is probably over until Spring.

The ramen here is pretty tasty. We usually order the tonkotsu ramen and will probably try other items on the menu once they mature a bit. When we first went they had just been open for business for a couple weeks and were feeling out their customers with a limited menu. So we're hoping for more items on the menu. One major downside for this restaurant is their lack of tables. The restaurant is quite small and about 2/3 of it is taken up by the kitchen, front desk and main entrance areas. Each time we've been here we could not find a table. So we've only ever gotten takeout. The first night we tried this place, not only did we not get a table, it also took about 45 minutes for our food to be ready. We ended up walking around the Maynard area for 20 min and then hung out in the entrance area for awhile longer. read more

Went down on this hot summer day to try their Thai iced tea and loved it. It was so good I ordered a second and I could've ordered a third but I stopped myself! Highly recommend. read more

My wife and I wanted to try a new ramen place in Metro West. We were excited by the other reviews here but were ultimately really let down. Started off with fried gyoza that were obviously just frozen and pre-made elsewhere. We both had miso ramen. Broth was bland and very oily. The noodles were a little on the rubbery side and not very flavorful. The corn in the ramen was canned and it was really obvious. The pork chashu was the most flavorful thing in the bowl by far, but was also more fat than meat. The cherry on the top was how they serve water. It is poured out into cups, left on a bar right outside the restroom, then ice is put in when people come in. My wife and I were sat right next to this, and there is no way that water is staying clean while people are eating right next to it. We won't be back. read more

So yummy! I tried the pork buns, veggie dumplings, and pad Thai. All were amazing! The decor is clean and modern. The staff was very friendly and collectively says goodbye when you leave. Overall really cute, and awesome food. Definitely my new spot. read more

A friend highly recommended Smack Noodle & we are so happy we went. Delicious food, generous serving sizes, can't wait to go back!

It is very hard to find a good ramen place outside of city of Boston or Cambridge and this place is deserved to be recommended to everyone who likes ramen. It is quite small and with very friendly staff. Takoyaki, Miso, and Tonkotsu ramen are all very delicious, and definitely worth trying. read more

Everything tastes so delicious and fresh! Various spice levels to choose from. Staff is so friendly too! Great option if you live or work close by as your order is ready within 10-15 minutes. A must try! read more

Smack Noodle - Ramen Near Me - Maynard, Massachusetts

High-quality food with a homey feel. The ramen was fresh and well seasoned, and I was especially impressed with the soy egg. Takoyaki was great, crispy sprouts were a little bitter for my liking. The Thai style noodles weren't as good as Siam Village down the street, but this is a solid new option for ramen. read more

My friend and I came to eat on 10-01-2019 for lunch. We got there right when it opened. The place filled up quickly, and this is a small place. We ordered two appetizers , the smack bun and order of veggie dumplings , pad see ew and shrimp udon garlic dish. Everything was tasty and fresh. Kind of pricey , but def worth it. Can't wait to come to this place again. Loved how when we left, all the staff thanked us for coming to eat, and a happy goodbye. read more

We just heard about this place and had to go the same night. We have been in search of any decent ramen in the area for years without luck, but this place is a small operation with big flavor. We got the Miso Ramen and the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, both were excellent. The pork was nicely seasoned and noodles had a nice chew. The broth in both was rich and very flavorful with the typical ramen accoutrements. Highly recommended. Reminds me of ramen from Ippudo in NYC or Santouka in Chicago. Lots of luck to them because this is not just good ramen for the area, this is some of the best ramen I've had. read more

So yum. This is mostly a take out place especially during COVID. I just loved that I found an Asian noodle place I liked out in the western Boston suburbs (this can be tough). Food was good and I had a Thai iced coffee which was also good. I ate this in a rush in my car so all I remember right now is that it was really good (I ordered something with chicken broccoli and udon noodles) so I am not much help with the menu but honestly everyone's food coming out of the busy kitchen looked really good. I hope they stay in business and Uber Eats doesn't mess with them because they're awesome. Go be a fan and pick up and order from them directly and tip liberally to keep them in business because they are a gem. read more

First thoughts, how is this place in Maynard!? Just left this place about and it was such a good meal and the staff was so inviting and kind. I got the udon basil noodles with tofu, absolutely delicious and perfect mixture of vegetables and sauce, etc. I also had the fried veggie gyoza which I died over. It's so hard finding vegetarian options like that that are actually good. Highly recommend this place. read more

Smack Noodle - Ramen Near Me - Maynard, Massachusetts

Passionate delicious food. These guys are the reason I love to go out to eat. Their menu is focused, inspired, and everything is absolutely delicious. You can see each dish is presented beautifully. Doesn't matter if it's a $2 item or $15, the attention to detail is immaculate. The Ramen is like a warm hug to my stomach, the flavors and execution are spot on 100%. My only complaint is that the Tonkotsu Ramen is a little bit plain in terms of "toppings," but there are many options you can add on, and at a starting price of $11.95, this is very justifiable and I think a good model for business and consumer. The Takoyaki dumplings where not what I was expecting at all. I actually saw the kitchen prepare these fresh and pan fry them to order. First of all, they look beautiful. Secondly, the minute it enters my mouth, I was blown away by the unique flavors and seriously cracked a smile, they were sooo good. Overall, these guys are fast, the food is beautiful and delicious, and the PRICES are unbelievable. You can easily get a meal under $15 and ball out with $25!!! I will be coming back without hesitation this is my new favorite noodle joint! read more

I have been to Smack Noodle a few times and I must say that it is a special place! I have ordered the calamari and it was some of the best I have had.

Really good food at a good price good variety and made quickly. The apps were also very good

What's in a name? Actually a lot. I was initially turned off by the name, but finally got around to letting my curiosity got the better of me and I looked at their menu and other reviews. I bit my tongue, got in the car, and went. What a surprise! It was absolutely delicious, friendly staff, excellent food, fun environment and all of it in Maynard! Who knew?! read more

My husband and I ate here on it's first open day, so a few weeks ago. As such, I can't speak very much to my immediate impression, but we thought the food was ok. I got the Thai-style chili basil udon noodles, which admittedly isn't going to represent their focus on Japanese food. It was flavorful, a bit too salty, but I think it was just too similar to what you get across the street at either of the Thai restaurants. My husband got Japanese curry with tofu, and it was also on the salty side. I don't think we're experts in that dish, but it tasted just like expected - curry powder flavor. My hope is that they focus on making dishes that aren't available elsewhere in town. Some Indonesian or Malaysian noodle soups (laksa!!) or rice dishes (nasi lemak) would be very welcome! read more

This place got it right!!!! Pad thai was out of this world, the buns were amazing and the the ramen excellent! We will be back for sure! read more

Walking into Smack Noodle, you get an instant welcoming feeling. We have tried many ramen noodle places and this place is now part of our top list. The Smack buns was delicious! We also got the Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen that was very flavorful with a kick that did not overpower the dish. The ramen noodle has a nice texture to it, not over or under cooked, made fresh. This restaurant is fairly new so hopefully they expand the drink menu soon. read more
