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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Post COVID glad to see that they're doing well and have additional seating outdoor as their shop is rather small. I got their Spicy Miso Ramen ($18) and it is just as good as I remembered. I also got the Herb Sweet Potato Fries ($7), the highlight being their Yuzu Mayo dipping sauce. The sauce I have to say was a bit overpowering with the Yuzu flavoring and they need to take it easy on that. Also if you're a big credit card points person, this place is classified as a grocery store for some reason and not a restaurant. Tried calling my credit card company and they won't change it. read more

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! read more

Stopped by here with a couple of friends after checking out the nearby Nintendo event at Brooklyn Bridge Park! We walked in for a table of 4 around 7pm on a Sunday night and didn't have to wait at all. It wasn't my first time visiting but I don't think I've ever had to wait more than a few minutes for a table which is always a plus. I mean, who really has the patience? Their appetiser never falls short of delectable! My friends ordered the Brussels sprout, fries, and takoyaki to start off. For my main course, I got the Red Tonkotsu ramen to satisfy my love for spicy food. read more

Kogane is a restaurant chain that serves delicious ramen. We visited their Brooklyn heights branch for Sunday lunch. Although they have outdoor seating we chose to seat inside as we already felt safe to do so. We got straight to business once seated. I chose Red Tonkatsu Ramen; a pork bone-based broth with red chili paste, braised pork belly, and boiled egg while my partner selected the nonspicy version of Tonkatsu ramen. We both enjoyed our ramen here and we found the serving very filling. Overall, if you are looking for hearty ramen this place is for you. read more

A great ramen location in Brooklyn Heights. They have indoor and outdoor dining since Covid. The service was great even being seated outdoor, the waiter and waitress consistently comes and check up on the tables. I like how they have a good section of appetizers and ramens. I usually get a Brussels sprouts is always made just right. The sweet potato fries and takoyaki is also not bad. My go to ramen is the Tonkotsu ramen, the soup base is flavorful yet not too salty. The noodles are slightly tours the firm side. Sometimes the braised pork belly can be overwhelming fatty. You can always choose to additional toppings bamboo shoot, noodles,soft boiled egg, pork for extra charge. They also have a small dessert menu! read more

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! read more

I dont recall ever being on this side of Brooklyn. It was chilly outside so I decided to take my son for some ramen. It was worth the walk. Even the service was good. Inside is small but they do have outdoor dining also. We both enjoyed our ramen. The chicken was well seasoned, hot and crispy just the way we like it. The gyoza was decent. I definitely want to check out the area again when it gets warmer. read more

I've been here pre-covid but recently tried their outdoor seating. They've got a lot of space ! I don't have to tell you guys that in the midst of all of this s*** it feels really nice to enjoy a meal safely at a restaurant. The menu here is great. Lots of delicious apps (try the pork buns), savory ramen and sake : P Highly recommend ! read more

Stumbled upon this place as we had parked nearby. Great little place with outdoor dining! Service was excellent - they kept coming to refill our water! They even had water for our little dog! Ordered the red tonkotsu ramen and a regular tonkotsu ramen. Both were good but hands down our favourite was the regular tonkotsu. Our two year old loved it as well! read more

I came with a friend after finding out one restaurant was not done in. But I'm quite pleased with the change in plans. My friend and I got an order of the Takoyaki, spicy Tonkatsu ramen, and the ramen burger. My friend who never had takoyaki before was surprised how tasty it was. I'm always super picky about my takoyaki but I really enjoyed it. The ramen was super delicious and came in a fairly big portion. Service was super attentive and I didn't have to wait to long. read more

Kogane is a reliable ramen restaurant with ample outdoor and indoor tables. Their outdoor area is also thoroughly shielded from any rain and wind. FOOD: - 4/5 Tonkatsu Ramen (Spicy option available) serves up flavorful broth and firm noodles. Pork was disappointing: too fatty, not enough char; but otherwise it's a hearty and satisfying bowl. read more

Came here on a Sunday for lunch (~2 p.m.), and it was a pretty decent meal. Aside from 2 or 3 people including myself, the restaurant was empty, but it gives off a nice neighborhood-restaurant vibe. I ordered the red tonkotsu, and initially thought that the portion looked small, but the toppings that they give are pretty filling. The broth wasn't much to rave about - I found it more on the salty end and a little overpowered by the garlic oil. There was also virtually no spice, so I'd recommend asking for extra chili paste if you want more kick. The noodles were undercooked when I received the dish, and stayed chewy throughout the meal. Not sure if they're made to order, but was disappointed that they turned out this way. For the toppings, the menma tasted a bit off and the seaweed was soggy by the time I got the dish. On a positive note, the chasu was a great balance of flavor and tenderness, and the egg was great too! Would've loved to see a lunch special menu to try some of the side dishes they had, but overall it's a nice spot for a decent bowl! read more

This ramen is something special. If you're wondering how the Brooklyn and Manhattan locations compare, Brooklyn is noticeably better. The tonkatsu and red tonkatsu broths are 10/10. The slices of pork were perfectly melt-in-your-mouth the first time we dined here, but firmer (like most other places) the second time. Noodles are also firm, but that's what we want! I got the lobster ramen this time and would give that a 7/10. I liked the addition of lobster pieces which were nicely poached, but the broth was a little sweet for me. As a noodle soup lover who doesn't prefer ramen, this one is my favorite of all I've tried in New York. read more

Food and service is always amazing! Love it here. I had the truffle ramen which was really good.

Solid neighborhood ramen with great service! We like the outdoor dining in the enclosed shed, which is less vibey than their indoor dining but feels a bit more spacious. The spicy miso and the spicy shoyu hit the spot on a cold night and the broth wasn't too salty. These broths aren't as rich as those at some of your more "famous" ramen shops, but the noodles were cooked perfectly and we appreciate having an excellent neighborhood option for when the cravings strike! read more

Brought my daughter here for the first time as she and I are the ramen lovers in the fam. We shared the pork tonkatsu and absolutely loved the noodles. They were fresh and flavorful. Best I've had in a ramen bowl. The broth was very good and hit the spot, but could have been a tad sweeter. Also would have loved to see a spicy option. The tea soaked egg was an umami sensation... we ordered extra egg. All in all it was a very cute, warm atmosphere with quick service and quality ramen. Will go back for sure. read more

Jessica and I had to use the restroom. We were a group of 5 and we were also hungry. As we walked down the block we saw this place and we instantly craved some ramen. Fortunately they had a bathroom, so we decided to dine here. They had a nice outdoor dining area and when we were seated the waiter gave us ample time to think and order our food. As were looked at the menus the waiter brought out water for us to drink and she was quite friendly. I had a boomerang video of all the food that we ordered, but since I can't post that, I'll just talk about the ramen burger I had. It was so good. The ramen had a good texture and the beef was cooked how I liked it. I would definitely order this burger again! Along with me were my friends: Saim, Jessica, Katelyn, and Ifty( not in picture ) I don't remember exactly who ordered what, but I do know that they ordered ramen and they enjoyed it. Sorry if that isn't much help if you're thinking about ramen. (haha) In terms of the appetizers we ordered, the wakame salad (seaweed salad) was alright. It wasn't amazing, but it was enjoyable. The takoyaki was a new experience. When we ordered it we were feeling a bit adventurous and it did not disappoint. I do wish there was more octopus in the takoyaki though. The bill was fair as well with each person spending about 15-25 dollars depending on whether they got an appetizer. Overall: -Service was good -There is outdoor dining, but the tables aren't very stable so sudden movements can cause the water to spill -Food was delicious -Pricing was fair for the area read more

Great staff - super helpful and patient which is useful when traveling with a baby and its starting to rain outside. The hot broth in the tonkatsu ramen was just what we needed as a pick-me-up. The appetizers were tasty too. Finish off the meal with a cup of warm tea mmm! read more

10/10! Food is delicious and has a cozy atmosphere with modern tables and benches. Highly recommend the miso eggplant (sweet/savory), spider buns (soft/crunch) and sweet potato fries - sauce is the BOSS! the yuzu ramen is my favorite with a citrusy-pine flavor. read more

A solid neighborhood ramen spot! My friend and I came for dinner on Friday night - around 5:30. Plenty of seats so we were seated right away. We each just got a bowl of ramen. I had the red tonkatsu - it was delicious. Broth was rich and had a nice heat to it. I especially loved the noodle texture. It was firm and perfectly cooked. Service was great - fast and attentive. I'll probably frequent this place- so glad there's good ramen near me! read more

I stumbled upon Kogane on a dark, stormy night (well maybe not exactly one of those nights, though I was certainly starving and everything around me felt dark and stormy), and decided to give it a chance. I immediately took to the menu because of the ramen options (and enough pork-, chicken-, and veggie-based broth options to satisfy even the pickiest broth drinkers), but was more so delighted to find that there was a matcha ramen! I was feeling adventurous so I went for it, and 20 years later, we are now married...haha well maybe one day -- if it were only that simple! I have been back more than a handful of times to drink my matcha broth and slurp down my matcha ramen (the takoyaki is also mouthwatering!), and will continue enjoying my doting affairs with Kogane. read more

Really nothing special. The broth was mediocre at best as was the meat but the noodles itself were pretty good- the right amount of firm. Wouldn't stop by to try the ramen but *possibly* to try to ramen burger, albeit I have a good feeling that that's quite overhyped. read more
