Soup Shack, located on Centre Street in Jamaica Plains, specializes in made-to-order Vietnamese pho, Korean ramen, and Thai noodle soups, and Japanese-inspired rice bowls. The ambiance is very casual with countertop seating facing the front window and the open kitchen (.. a consideration if you don't want to smell like cooked meats for the rest of your day ..) as well as a few tables and chairs outside. It's a small dining area with 12-15 seats, so you may have to wait for an open seat, but the staff does a good job serving the food quickly and turning over the seats. The service was very good with staff that's very personable and knowledgeable about the menu.Craving a hot soup on a slightly chilly and dreary Saturday, I opted for the special Mala Pho ($16), a generous portion of hot soup comprised of soft rice noodles topped with sliced steak, beef balls, flank steak, bok choy, cherry tomatoes, onion, scallions, and cilantro, served over a spicy mala beef broth. YUM! Loved it. My dining companion tried the Fried Tofu rice bowl ($14), with lightly battered soft Japanese tofu, cucumber, bok choy, and scallions, served over Japanese steamed rice, which she really enjoyed as well.We will definitely be back next time we're in the area!PRO TIP #1: Soup Shack doesn't have its own parking lot, but there's plenty of on-street parking on Centre Street.

It's a very cute lil spot real close to Jamaica Pond. The people here are so so nice and the menu is a fusion one of viet, thai & japanese? (Which is very cool i love all of the above cuisines). My boyfriend got a spicy tonkotsu ramen and it's good! (Not the best we've tried, pork wasn't the most tender but tasted pretty tonkotsu-ey!) and whenever i see takoyakis, i have to try! And as you can see, I tried the takoyakis from here. they were ok, wish they came in 6 instead of 4 lol and surprisingly i've had better these balls at a mall sushi spot! And last but not least I got a brothless noodle dish cause I wasn't feeling ramen ramen mood and it was pretty interesting. Very sweet. Which is not my favorite flavor when it comes to noodles/ramen dishes. But overall a decent spot. We might come back if we're in the area to try other dishes

This is such a great all in one place for soup! The menu had a ton of options which is helpful for a future visit.I got the tan tan men which was perfect for a chilly night. The food came out quick and the portions were huge! It was delicious and filling with the right amount of spiciness. The broth was so flavorful and the pork was good but a little too fatty. The service was great and the servers were friendly. There is counter/bar seating around the restaurant and outdoor seating (before the colder months). When it gets busy it's busy so prepare for that. I can't wait to go again and try the other options on the menu.

I've been recommended this place by a few people but was always hesitant thinking "how could one place offer three different cuisines and still taste good?" Finally tried it today since it was conveniently close to where I was running errands and they blew it out of the park.Service was quick & they were attentive the entire time. We were in and out in less than thirty minutes.They only have high top tables indoors but if the weather's nice, they have outdoor seats too!We ordered the Kao Soi & Tonkatsu Ramen and both were incredible, probably the best I've had in the Boston area so far. Not pictured is their Roasted Duck bun, which was also really good.

This places Ramen is great! I added corn and removed the Menma (Menma in general I just don't like) They also have this side chili flakes in oil kind of topping that can add for extra spice and flavor. Clears my sinuses well.

a terrific go-to neighborhood joint with a long list of ramen options. i've never had anything there that wasn't yummy. i sometimes eat at the window facing centre street, and sometimes do take-out. either way, it never disappoints. thanks, soup shack. s.h.

This was so good. Just got home and didn't want to forget to review. Everything was fresh and hot. The pickled onions on the buns were sweet and crisp and the protein was perfect. The kimchi was just spicy enough and a good portion. The Saigon Udon with chicken was soooo good. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the chicken was crispy and hot. The Mi Wonton was a huge portion and the broth was the standout. Loved the small seating arrangement outside on a summer night. The servers were pleasant, quick and kind. Can't wait to go back and try more.
