Devastated to see this place closed “indefinitely,” Names has been a local staple for me since the lil mo days. Some of the best spicy ramen I’ve ever had, an excellent date spot that always impressed whoever I brought along. Didn’t get to try the pizza but really, really hope you reopen!

I’ve been an avid customer for awhile, but this is my first review. I love the staff, always friendly. Louis and Noe are the best. The food is tasty and cocktails are great. My favorite is the classic Ramen and fried chicken bun. Oh, the burger meal isfantastic! The restaurant is beautiful with great outdoor space.. Especially if you love plants. Great neighborhood go to! ????

Birria ramen special is a REAL a game changer in the ramen world, this is a high stakes game and Names took it there. Flavor was unmatched, bread a wonderful touch and heat just right. The mushroom ramen was fine but no match to the special and kindadisappointed they used basic white shrooms. Where is the enoki shiitaki or oyster?? Cant have a mushroom ramen with noshroom variety. Service was 10 10 and beer selection great too.&Atmosphere indeed vibey.
