Soup Shack
Ramen, Thai noodle dishes, rice bowls, and apps like Gyoza are all options at pan-Asian restaurant Soup Shack, which maintains locations in Jamaica Plain, Brookline, and Cambridge. But Pho is a star on the menu: The beefy Dac Biet represents the traditional route, though Pho Ga, featuring an aromatic chicken broth and shredded meat, is a worthy detour. For further adventures in pho at Soup Shack, consider the Mi Hoanh Thanh, with the aromatic broth, pork-and-shrimp dumplings, and ramen noodles; or a bowl of Pho Sate spiced with chili oil.
