Had the DineLA deal here and went with the kotobuki menu which had 2 appetizers (ikura and monkfish liver), 10 pcs of nigiri, and 1 handroll. Overall it was really fresh and delicious seafood. I felt like it was very professional and a great introduction to kogane at a lower price. The decor uses the space very nicely. Parking is really easy and spacious in the back.
Kicked off Dine LA with lunch at Kogane. Thought we would take advantage of trying it out since I had heard it was hard to get reservations and that their omakases were excellent. Inside was very simple but elegant. Freshness and quality of fish was stellar. I enjoyed fish that I don't normally prefer. We were hungry so went with the Kotobuki option. We were the only ones there so the food came out pretty quickly. Table seating only for Dine LA. Everyone was very friendly and you are greeted with a little personalized message. Would definitely go back.
I've known about Kogane for several years, ever since it opened during COVID. The prices were always a bit steep for me despite the number of courses offered on the omakase menu. Recently, the restaurant offered alternative menus for a cheaper price, so I decided to finally come give it a try. I came here for two of my friends' birthdays. I ended up getting the nigiri omakase. Despite the Yelp screenshot of the menu stating that the nigiri omakase came with 10 nigiri omakase and 1 handroll, it actually only came with 10 nigiri omakase and then a miso soup. The nigiri were quite small, which was acceptable given the price. I liked that the chefs used both regular sushi rice and also red vinegar rice, also known as aka-shari. I love the extra sour/sweet notes with aka shari, so that was nice that the chefs used it for certain dishes. The chefs did ask for any allergies or food intolerances. One of my friends said she did not like wasabi, but the chef still gave her a nigiri with wasabi in it. I had to correct the chef again, and he took out wasabi for the remaining pieces of nigiri. The actual nigiri were ok. The fish were of solid quality as was the wasabi. The chefs did end the meal with castella tamago, which was a nice dessert. We had brought cake, but the restaurant did not allow us to eat cake inside the restaurant. Although little things like cake and accidentally adding wasabi might be potentially ok for a casual restaurant, these type of issues are a bit less forgiving for an upscale omakase restaurant. My friend only had an intolerance to wasabi, if she instead had an allergy to wasabi and it was hidden, that could have been severe. I hope that the chefs may take more care to listen closely to customers' intolerances and allergies moving forward.
Kogane is a spectacular hidden gem! Chef Roe and Chef Harry are masters at their craft. We initially booked table seating on the tock app but upon arrival they were able to accommodate two more for the bar at 8pm. I came here with my wife and we got the 16 course omakase and the sake pairing. Every course was delicious and the sake pairing elevated it even further. Chefs were highly engaged and the service staff was outstanding. I read that the original chefs have moved onto new ventures but Kogane is in great hands with Head Chef Roe! I recommend everyone to try Kogane! I will certainly be dining here again.
Came here for our anniversary and had the lunch omakase. It was $155 per person for 16 courses, which honestly felt like a great value considering the quality and variety of everything we had. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and each course felt thoughtfully prepared without being overly complicated. A few of my favorites were the toro, which was rich and literally melted in my mouth, and the aji, which had a really nice springy texture and clean, fresh flavor. I also loved the sesame tofu topped with uni. It was creamy and delicate, with the nuttiness from the sesame pairing surprisingly well with the sweetness of the uni. We ordered some sake to go with the meal, and the whole experience felt relaxed and intimate, which made it perfect for a special occasion. Even dessert was memorable. The black sesame ice cream had such a strong roasted sesame flavor and wasn't overly sweet at all. Overall, one of the better omakase experiences I've had in the area, especially at this price point. Fresh fish, great pacing, and a really enjoyable meal from beginning to end. Would definitely come back.
Wanted to have an honest review of Kogane. I've heard of this place for awhile and went ahead and gave it try for them. Food is okay, but the biggest disappointment that I had was the service and lack of management. I remembered placing a reservation for a bar seating, and the day prior, Kogane called and they said that the reservation was assigned to a table seating instead. Thus, we decided to move the reservation to another week later for a bar seating (funny how their reservation page through Tocks, still didn't change the reservation from table to bar, so not sure if they already had a full bar over sale, and decide to move ours instead). To the day of the reservation, we came in at 7pm, and another party just about to finish before us, I was directed to seat at the near corner (2ppl) seats. Then another party of 5 or so came in and they took the best seats where you can see most of the omakase making and interact with the chefs. Us two, got left by the other lonely end of the corner, the chefs were not even making the cuts in front of us. Mind you, we had the $155 omakase. The other party had the $75 menu. The food was about the same, only a dish or two difference. We asked the server if there was a difference, and they did apologize that they were supposed to be at the table seatings not the bar, but they sat down already, and cannot move them away. Overall, food was okay 8/10. But the service and overall experience 3/10. Don't think I will make my way back again.
I've dined at Kogane for the lunch and dinner omakase when both Chef Fumio and Chef Kwan were with Kogane. Both experiences were absolutely delicious. The previous lunch menu was reasonably priced at $120 and offered a delightful preview of what Kogane had to offer. The 22 course dinner menu was priced at $300 and offered an extensive menu with even more delicious nigiri and hot food items. The stand out nigiri were the dry aged blue fin tuna, dry aged otoro, nodoguro (blackthroat sea perch), sayori (needle fish), and sanma (pike mackerel). I loved how the chefs prepared a gigantic roll off menu with pieces of fish and tamago as a finale to our meal. I'm saddened to know both of the founding chefs are no longer with Kogane but I do want to try Kogane's new causal, sushi-focused omakase menu in the future.
Love the lunch omakase experience! It's a very traditional omakase, I'm sure the menu changes but for us we got one appetizer, ten pieces of nigiri, two raw dishes, miso soup, tamago, and ice cream. Every dish was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. My favorite was the signature goma tofu topped with uni. The goma (sesame) tofu is very unique and tasty. The tamago was also the best I've ever had. Tamago is something you see at almost every sushi restaurant, and it usually tastes pretty similar, so it rarely stands out to me. But theirs was so soft and fluffy, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. It's hard to make such a simple dish feel special, but they really did. The restaurant itself is clean, cozy, and welcoming. It is a great place for date nights. The chef and staff were also warm and attentive, taking the time to explain each dish, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and high-quality omakase experience.

After seeing so many posts about this place lately, I had to check it out for myself. Are restaurants competing so hard these days that even omakase is getting in on it? This Signature Omakase includes 16 courses for $155. What surprised me most was that after the very first piece, the chef asked whether the rice seasoning and overall balance suited my taste. Based on that feedback, he adjusted the rest of the meal. It honestly felt like a customized experience. I've always believed great ingredients matter more than anything else, and for the quality here, the value felt incredible. Throughout the meal, the chefs were happy to chat and answer questions, but the moment it was time to prepare the next course, they switched right back into full focus mode. Each piece came with an explanation of where the fish came from, which part was being served, and how it was prepared. There was actually a first-time omakase guest sitting next to us who had just walked in after class nearby. She asked so many questions that the rest of us ended up getting a free sushi education too Since I'm obsessed with uni, I asked about it. The chefs told us they taste every batch before serving it. Apparently they had one a few days earlier that turned out a little bitter, so they refused to serve it to guests. My immediate response was: "So... does that mean you guys get to eat it all yourselves?!" They just smiled and said nothing. The tuna we had that day had arrived the very same morning, so we got to enjoy it at its freshest. I felt ridiculously lucky. And then the chef casually showed off a box of premium Daigokujyo uni that had just come in... which somehow turned into everyone getting some That's one of the things I love most about omakase. Once you've made the reservation, you never really know what ingredients or stories you'll encounter that day. The chef also mentioned that over Memorial Day weekend, someone drove all the way down from San Francisco just to eat here. My reaction was basically: Wait... seriously?!
came here for a valentine's day lunch 16 course omakase. bill was about $400 for two people. every course was so fresh and the chef explained where each dish came from. he took the time to explain the prepping process which was very interesting at the beginning of the course i told the chef no ginger and he was very accommodating. he removed all dishes that had ginger and even subbed one of the courses for a huge piece of salmon nigiri overall would be back for the omakase again
After wanting to dine here for years, I finally did and I have to say... Why couldn't I find an excuse sooner? First of all, the staff who helped us were amazing, and very accommodating. 200% recommend making a reservation but pay attention to the type of reservation because the bar is omakase only and the table have a few set menu's to choose from. They go the extra mile whether it is a celebration or you're just chilling, because where else do the restaurant staff remember your name!!! Amazing. Chef Roe served us that evening and wow!!! The entire experience was phenomenal. From start to finish, each dish was carefully prepped and the portion size was good. The omakase experience is $155 and drinks start at $15/glass or $90/750ml bottle. The course was phenomenal - I usually hate mackerel but this restaurant knew how to prep it properly that it doesn't taste metallic or .... Strong? Their signature dish was the tofu with some sort of sauce and uni on top.... With floral garnishes. How beautiful! They have so many different types of uni. If you are still hungry after those 15 pieces, you can always order more individually. These are high quality fish, so you know you expect amazingness. You can tell by how much effort the chefs put into prepping the menu items. Even the tamago is sooooo different than other restaurants. The chefs are legit. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

My Bf and I were looking for a place to celebrate our 10th Year Anniversary and found Kogane. We had their 16 course omakase by Chef Roe and his amazing staff. The place is off of Fremont but you would never know it because the safe was warm, calm, and intimate. Chef Roe and Chef Heri asked about any allergy and was very accommodating to my needs. Our favorites were Dashi Ikura, Shima Aji, Ankimo, Dry Aged Bluefin Chutoro, Goma Tofu with Hokkaido Bafun Uni, and Negitoro. We really appreciate how friendly the staff was, especially to our baby Peanut. It was definitely a great omakase experience for our special day! read more

Fresh, high-quality sushi, great sake, and a cozy atmosphere. The 16-course omakase was excellent value, and the owner was friendly and easy to communicate with. Definitely worth a visit! read more
Came here to celebrate my birthday and I can't believe we have an omakase in Alhambra! Such a hidden gem! Chef was so nice and personable. There's a story behind each dish and learning of each fish. Great sense of humor, too! There were only 3 people working - main chef, second chef (preps the hot dishes), and server. Highly recommend the omakase dinner experience because it is so worth it. But please DO NOT be late and let the chef know if you don't like certain dishes. Being late and wasting the food he made are SO disrespectful. read more

A nice little store, not super fancy, but decent. We came for the lunch omakase, $120 per person for 16 courses. This experience was lovely, every piece (except maybe one) was amazingly fresh and wonderfully sauced. You can customize the spice level if the wasabi is too much. They also accommodate food allergies, but notify them ahead of time. Overall, the nigiri's are quite small. This is enough food for people who don't eat very much or who had a large breakfast beforehand. Chef Fumi was personable and explained each course in detail. We had a nice little chat about anime while we were there. The stars of the omakase was the uni and the many different types of dry aged toro. My family has been to a couple of omakases and this was pretty typical. The vinegar on the rice is stronger flavored compared to other places. read more
Koganw is a very traditional omakase experience. I came here to have a birthday lunch for my fiancé and I can say it was a great experience! Because I made a reservation, they had a card with my name on it making you feel special when you walk in. Just like the sushi, the decor is minimalistic to the max, which was pleasant to have no distractions between you, the fish, and the chef. Speaking of the chef and staff, they were all very professional and we had conversations with everyone working there, which I would say adds an extra star to this review. As for the food, you will get lots of different Japanese fish you don't usually get from omakase in the surrounding area. In addition to fish like dry aged toro, uni, and scallops, we got the buttery Nodoguro fish and the flavorful sayori. Beware for sauce lovers, the sushi chef focuses on balance and flavor of the fish so there is very little sauce and you will not have soy sauce on your table (definitely not needed). Overall for the lunch price and experience was very worth! You might be able to get higher quality fish from a more expensive omakase, but if you want to impress with not just food, but atmosphere and conversation, Kogane is a must! read more
The most expensive lunch (alcohol was the main cause) for my bd month. I heard about this place for awhile and finally got a chance to try with a friend for my incoming BD. The aged Tuna and Toro were perfect. This was the first time I tried aged fish and I was utterly impressed with the taste. Who would have thought aged fish can taste this good. Every single piece of Nigiri was perfectly paired with Katsuyama Shoryu,Yumedono & Katsuyama Akatsuki Sake. Chef Fumi was funny and knowledgeable. I love the cozy ambiance atmosphere, four guests total. A simple lunch turned into a small party with two other guests at the sushi bar. It is fantastic to have a sushi restaurant with this caliber here in Alhambra. In my opinion, it's a must try if you are a local & a sushi lover. read more

Great value omakase at Kogane. For $155, you get a 16-course counter experience that feels both high-quality and relaxed. The chef is friendly and chats while preparing each course, which makes it more enjoyable. The fish is very fresh--especially the uni, which is clean and sweet. Their dry-aged (12 days) tuna and toro are a standout, with deep, slowly building umami. Loved the attention to detail--from the rice temperature and seasoning to the pacing. Overall, a memorable and well-balanced omakase that's totally worth the price. read more

人生最怕就是一邊走著，一邊後悔，當你歷經過滄桑，也看過人情冷暖，就會慢慢明白，太多時候是萬般都是命，半點不由人呀，但願未來你我都能不談虧欠，不負遇見～ 最近吃了幾家日本料理，就慢慢一個個來介紹，先從這一家在 San Gabriel 應該也算是小有名氣的黃金Kogane開始, 他們中午的價格現在是一個人120元 omakase, 這兩年通膨那麼厲害之後，日料吃 omakase 都是貴鬆鬆， 或者是更貴鬆鬆的價格，訂位的太晚， 只有訂到table 沒法坐sushi bar , 所以魚片是三片，三片這樣送上來的，看了菜單才知道 ，原來 魚也有Dry Aged ，熟成了 19 天，我一直以為只有牛肉才有在吃熟成的， 奇怪以前吃日料怎麼都沒聽過？ 也有可能是師父在說，我都沒認真在聽， 只專注的看著我將會吃到什麼， 這家好吃嗎？ 我喜歡，不過，本來我就不是非常吹毛求疵的歪嘴雞，也不是什麼日料達人，就是只會吃而已，請包涵，大家自己看照片決定值不值得，yelp 可以訂位，要先付訂金就是了！ read more
Plenty of parking in the plaza, near Kohl's This place is unassuming, no idea a sushi place was here when you drive by. Could be hard to get reservations, day of, or week of. Need to plan a little ahead Excellent Omakase! Fish quality was excellent The food was memorable and service was impeccable, very attentive! Love the hot tea Ambiance is Japanese minimalism, in the best way. read more

A local gem hidden in an unassuming strip mall with plenty of parking (yay) My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary celebration after eyeing this place for months, and we are so happy that it far surpassed our expectations :) Dinner omakase is approximately 20 courses with simple presentations of varied sashimi and warm dishes, but each bite was so decadent that we were loosening our belts by round 14. Highlights were the sesame tofu made in-house by Chef Roe, uni handroll, dry-aged akami & otoro (of course), and to my surprise, the saba. The sashimi pieces did not have a bunch of flavors or decoration laid on them, but each piece was so decadent and buttery....with just ground wasabi and soy sauce. Chef Fumi takes pride in each dish and gives an extensive background on the ingredients, as well as delivering a comic dialogue with the guests. I'm used to a more somber omakase so this was a pleasant surprise :) Service was impeccable. Manager Shin was on top of everything, and made the experience seamless. Price is hefty at $300pp excluding drinks or service tip, but I understand they have a significant overhead to cover. If anything, they serve an abbreviated lunch omakase for $120 :) Looking forward to returning with my boyfriend and sushi loving friends :) read more
Something keeps drawing us back to Kogane... between the team here and the quality of dishes, there's no place in sgv that matches their level of omakase. They are friendly and knowledgeable for first timers and welcoming to familiar faces. Their lunch option during the weekend is a more chill option for a quick fix, but dinner service is where it's at. Chefs Fumio, Kwan, Roe, and Jon really make Kogane's our go-to omakase read more

Great experience. The food and sushi are all delicious! The chef was considerate, polite and friendly! He also makes good jokes haha. Every dish you can see chef make efforts. I also like the bar table seat is spacious. The tone in the shop is peaceful. I really like Kogane and would like to recommend all my friends. It is rare to have a good omakase at SGV. I am appreciated! Also super easy to park with the parking lot at the back. Good good good! read more

Came here for a birthday lunch and was not disappointed. Everything was so delicious and fresh and service was amazing as well. I love how they had so many different types of Ootoro and we also added the squid as well. Inside it's very intimate seating and they have bar seating and a couple of tables. I made a reservation but I believe you can walk in as well. However if you go pass a certain time they close read more

Had the most amazing time at Kogane. I had a Japan trip planned and couldn't go anymore. Friend took me here to feel better about it, and it turned out to be the highlight of our mini LA vacation. We went for dinner omakase, which they limit the guests to maybe 6 people, which means you get full attention. We very much cared about learning about how each dish was specially made and the differences. Our host and two chefs explained to us so happily to all our curiosity, and even showed us a map of Japan to show where the fish are from. Most of the dishes were cut and made in front of us, and we loved watching every step as we wait for the next special treat! We loved learning so much and it felt so special. We got to speak some broken Japanese with them, and they were so kind to us. We loved every part of it and everything was so authentic and high quality. We both left feeling it was such a unique and memorable experience. It was so lovely to have their enthusiasm to be matched up with ours. This place is definitely great for a date, with a friend or a small group. Especially best for special occasions and those who really appreciate quality sushi or Japanese culture/cuisine. Reservations are required. Parking is easy. I hope to visit again soon and we already miss Jon, Chef Fumi and Chef Masa! read more
