Best dishes are the shrimp creamy omelette and beef boat noodle!
Would skip the katsu and pork dishes

I had been following this restaurant for a long time since I came to Boston area, so I was so excited to be there. As “Uncle Roger” says, “not bad, not bad!”
Creamy Tum Yum Noodle Soup: The Tum Yum soup broth was exactly authentic. It provided a strong taste of both tangy and spicy, exciting my taste buds and increasing my appetite. As for the ingredients, shrimps were fresh and bouncy, char-siu slices were crunchy but not greasy, while the lime added extra zing to the soup. But to be frank, unfortunately I could still taste the gamey smell from the refrigerated pork, even though it had been that heavily seasoned.

We were looking for soup on a cold snowy day and found this place online. Small restaurant just outside of Central Square. We ordered vegetable spring rolls, the Khao Soi and Vegetarian Noodle soups. Everything was incredibly delicious!

Truly the only balm to my soul after coming back from Bangkok to Boston winter. Food is authentic, reasonable, and so, so good! And the staff are super kind as well. Highly, highly recommend!

I’m a long time customer of this place - I love their Tom Yam noodle soup! I wanted to highlight not just their delicious food but their excellent service by Por.
Sometime last week, my friend and I called at 8+PM to enquire if they were still open after a frustratingly futile time with our Uber order (from another restaurant). We decided to take a cab to What A Soup. At 8:25PM I received a call from Por who had called to enquire if we were still coming, as the last order was at 8:30PM. She offered to take our order so that we could still enjoy our meal even though the shop was closing at 9PM. We hungry diners were so touched by the thoughtful gesture! She went the extra mile even though she didn’t have to.

Great meal for a great deal

- Pork Belly Skewer ($8.95): The pork belly was very tender/juicy and flavorful. - Khao Soi Chicken ($15.95): This was a unanimous favorite. The broth was thick and rich/creamy. - Creamy Tom Yum Noodle Soup ($15.95): This one was also good because the soup had a bold flavor, but I would not describe it as creamy, so the naming is misleading. - Chicken Clear Noodle Soup ($14.95): This was a basic, clean soup that I would have enjoyed more had I not tried the other two flavor-packed soups. There was a lot of chicken, though.

Soup was a bit too salty but still very close to the one i got in Thailand!
I was pretty disappointed that, while beautiful, I found our food to be very underwhelming. The noodles to me seems fairly low quality and it was not the warm depth of flavor in the broth that I expect from a Thai noodle soup.

The soup was PHENOMENAL. Definitely come here if you are in town. This is the best place especially during cold weather. We got the seafood and chicken and some veggie spring rolls. The price is everything! I mean this size portion for $14?? And the servers were very sweet. I 10/10 recommend and would love to come again.

Great restaurant with even better company! What A Soup provided us comfort from the cold while also providing comfort in our bellies. We got the giant shumai, chicken clear noodle soup, and the brothless soup and everything was delicious! Ate Trader Joe’s chocolate and gingerbread afterwards there and it was a blast 😎
