NAMA [nah-mah]: noun 1. a Japanese word meaning pure, raw, undiluted, unprocessed.
Because good food isn't that complicated.
Nama Ramen is a restaurant located in SE Portland serving up bowls of ramen, poke, and awesomeness. After opening Samurai Blue in 2011 (and then more recently, Akasaru Ramen), we decided that we really, really like ramen. Like, a lot. Inspired by the feelings that the word 'nama' evoked in us, we believe that less is more. Hence, Nama Ramen was born.
Simple is our style- we want to serve simple, good food for a simple, good time.
Whether it's your first time trying ramen or your 100th time, we hope you find your favorites you can enjoy again and again!
