Kogane Ramen-Brooklyn Heights

Kogane is a quaint and cozy ramen spot in Brooklyn Heights. The ramen is great at reasonable prices and you get a view of the bridge as a bonus.I came for a weekday lunch with a friend and we were seated immediately. Service is friendly. My friend and I shared the takoyaki which was pretty good. For mains, my friend and I enjoyed our Parco Pork and Vegetable Ramen respectively. The Parco Pork curry broth isn't super thick but still pretty flavorful. Portions were average sized.Overall, I would come back and try the red tonkotsu that the waitress recommended. Nothing beats a tasty, hearty meal with a view of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.

We ordered yuzu ramen which tasted weird like a whole lemon was added in without tasting much of the tonkotsu broth. Very disappointing experience compared to authentic yuzu ramen places I've tried. Eggplant was too sweet as well. For the price could have been better.

Favorite ramen spot in NY. Absolutely never a miss with the spicy miso ramen. They have just so many great options to choose from. It's a hole in the wall type of spot but honestly it was really just for a Sunday evening! They are pretty great with their service despite the crowd and I left super happy and warm after my good bites.

Four stars because this place has been a neighborhood gem for years. The ramen is rich and flavorful without making you regret your life choices (not too spicy). Service? It's decent, but you're really here for the deep, comforting bowls of broth that make even my picky parents say, 'Not bad" as they slurp it down. Perfect for those cold evenings when you need a warm hug in noodle form.

Great spot in this area! the mackerel was flavored well and had a good crispy skin on it. The ramen was the perfect amount of spice but may be a bit smaller in portions, which was great for me (I usually don't finish my ramen but this one I was able to). Shop is small and cozy, great vibes. Service was pretty quick too!

Kogane is one of the best ramen options around this part of Brooklyn, and I say this knowing Tsuta and Mr. Taka are further down in Dumbo. I've been to their Chelsea location before as well, but I quite enjoy the neighborly feel of this Brooklyn Heights location. There is outdoor seating available, but the cozy tables inside exude a nice zen ambiance when you visit during their off-peak hours. My usual order is their tonkotsu ramen ($17) or their spicy miso ramen ($18). I think both bowls are very solid, classic options that you can't go wrong with. The portions are quite generous and while they do offer kaedama ($4.50) which is extra noodles if you have leftover broth, I have never needed it. The staff here are super friendly and they also take Apple Pay!

I was feeling noodle soup, so found Kogane Ramen on a Monday night. It was a chilly night, but the heater was way too strong for us inside the restaurant. Luckily, they have an outdoor patio where we sat instead. This was perfect as you really warm up with the hot ramen. We started off with a Hot Sake ($11) and a Sapporo Draft ($7). For the ramen, I got the Miso Lobster Ramen ($22) because how often do you get lobster in your ramen? The price is pretty reasonable as well for lobster. They even bring you a claw cracker to help you, but it wasn't really needed. When the bowl arrived, it seemed like a small bowl; but it's actually a lot. The bowl is deep, which made it deceiving. Such a well-rounded bowl of ramen from depth of broth to variety of toppings and tender chashu. Glad to have this in the neighborhood whenever I have a ramen craving.

Consistently good ramen at Kogane! The broths are always so rich and delicious, and they don't skimp on ingredients with each serving. Noodles are sometimes a touch undercooked in my opinion, but not in a way that radically detracts from the meal.This is a great neighborhood spot, and one I think worth a visit if you're in Brooklyn Heights or DUMBO and want good ramen at a decent price!

Kogane is a cozy hidden gem of a ramen restaurant. The wait time was less than 10 minutes and the food came quick as well. We opted first for pork buns which came in soft pillowy buns with flavorful seared pork. Our mains were the Red Tonkotsu Ramen and the Parco Chicken Ramen which did not disappoint! The noodles were freshly made and perfectly chewy and the broth was flavorful and hearty. They were both topped with bamboo and a soft boiled egg. This was a chance finding for us in Brooklyn, but we are so glad we stumbled upon it!

I recommend spicy veggie ramen and small plates are good.The restaurant is cozyThe service is good
