Soup Shack Porter (Cambridge)

This place is incredible. Their Tom Yum is one of the best soups I’ve ever had and makes me very happy. The broth is so delicious and flavorful. The pork is very flavorful and nicely smoked, and the fish balls are light and tasty too (this is coming from a former long-term vegetarian who usually avoids meat, but not here!!). The spice level is percect. Definitely check it out!

Nice surprise! Food was great and service as well. We had Ramens and Chicken Katsu. Highly recommended. Went twice the same week. :)

The broth was fragrant and delicious. It's hard finding a place that serves a bowl of pho that reminds me of a home cooked meal but at a fraction of the cooking time. Great job!

I got the spicy pork rice dish. It was exceptional and warmed my soul. Some of the pork was really fatty and I don’t know if that’s normal but it tasted great either way. I heard the duck soup isn’t great at this place so I’m gonna try it next time and update my review🫡 UPDATE: I got the duck soup. (Added a picture of it as well) It was really tasty, and contrary to other reviews, they put a good portion of duck in there. I would say the duck was somewhat dry, so dropping my food rating for them to a 4 star because of all the problems they’re having with this one soup. That said I am leaving the overall rating at a 5 star and I will definitely be back. UPDATE 6/20: I’m back because soup shack did it again. I get the tonkatsu with rice noodles to-go, and I leave it sitting for like an hour. By the time I get around to it I’m sure it’s gonna be mid. Wrong. Unbelievable. Soup deleted. Bad day to be a soup. I would give these guys more stars if I could.

We have gotten food from soup shack very many times and it's always good. The yasai ramen is delicious and might be the most flavorful vegetarian broth option in the area. The chicken curry is also very reliable.

Fantastic service, our meals came out quickly. The chicken curry we ordered was scrumptious, with a lot of interesting spices. The tonkotsu ramen was alright, we felt that there was an overpowering amount of fish sauce and the flavors of the pork were virtually non-existent. Prices were standard for the area. Overall, a great restaurant - we look forward to coming back.

The food was good, I enjoyed it but they have a strict take out or dine in policy apparently. When I went in, I was directed to choose my food and pay first. And they packed it for me even though I didn’t say I wanted take out. And when I said I wanted to eat there, I was told, inside space was only for dine in. I asked again but they didn’t accept my request to eat inside. So make sure you tell them where you want to eat.

For appetizers had the octopus balls and the fried oysters. The fried oysters were just okay but did not like the octopus balls too much. It barley had any octopus in it. I would honestly give the appetizers a 3 star overall. The ramen was was okay as well. I have had much better rumen. Ordered their spicy ramen which was no where near spicy and the hot chilly oil was not spicy either. All it did was add some flavor. The service however was great and the food was reasonably priced. Glad I tried the food but I would not go back.
