Reviews for Names in Brooklyn, NY
Solid first visit. Took advantage of the Happy Hour Cocktail of the Day and it did not disappoint (think old fashioned with... tequila). And the Spicy Curry Ramen was solid in terms of flavor though certainly could’ve been more dynamic/more spice. Thewait staff was alright and service was fast— certainly gave off a quick-dining experience. Seems like the sort of place thoughthat the more you go the better decorum you build with the staff.

This place was a great discovery as I was having a difficult time finding a bar open during happy hour on a Monday in this area.... Stumbled in, was welcomed kindly, ordered super yummy veggie ramen in mushroom broth. I misunderstood the ‘Can’ beside thered wine as coming from ‘Canada’ when really it comes in a can and is COLD. Crying…but don’t worry, I quickly turnedthings around by ordering a Japanese whisky flight and saved the day! Careful of the one with ‘peat’ as it can strip paintoff a wall… make sure you get the spicy garlic sauce for your ramen, it’s well worth the extra $2. Would def return and nexttime I’ll be better prepared w my bevy selection. Read more
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! ???? Read more
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. Read more
Cute environment! They have a ton of air purifying plants inside. Makes you feel safe, especially during this COVID pandemic.... The food was pretty delicious too. We went for brunch. Read more
not bad. simple clean white decor, fast service, the ramen (got the classic) was surprisingly palatable. the nicely hot broth... and vegetable toppings were tasty: my only complaint will be the sliced chicken breast was plump but a bit bland. thick/wavynoodles are a bit chewy as noted in a different review however i think it stands up to the heartier elements of this dish.

Solid neighborhood spot. The spicy chili garlic paste was amazing and added a ton of delicious flavor to the ramen. The ramen... was pretty good too. Honestly I usually like non-traditional ramen more and this was no exception. The broth was delicate andnot overly salty. Would love to come back to try the mushroom ramen sometime. The fries are good too. Was not a huge fan of thedrinks, though the descriptions were enticing. The service was excellent and there is plenty of outdoor, covered seating. Read more
Ordered take out bao buns and dumplings which were delicious even after travelling back home. The ingredients are complex and... fresh! The seating around Names is great for outdoor options. Read more
