The inside is the perfect vibe you want for a ramen restaurant. Warm, cozy, welcoming and down to earthThe ramen is good and dependableThere’s only ~6 tables inside and ~8 outside so you may have to wait but they can seat you pretty quick!Reasonably priced

Great Ramen! I had the pork ramen bowl. The bowls are very big and the pork gyoza was cooked perfectly with the sauce. The green tea was refreshing. My only qualm is the staff member who served us, never asked if my friend and I were ok and was staring at us a little too often for me. Maybe she was just checking on us with her eyes??♀️ that’s the only reason it’s not 5 stars.. but overall I’ll definitely be back.

The food was fresh & delicious. For apps, we had the pork gyoza, Japanese karaage and spicy bun. My boyfriend had the spicy Ramen and I had the kimichi fried rice with chicken. The vibe was great, the service was fast & friendly. Would I go back? Heck yea, I would!!!

I went to the restaurant with my boyfriend yesterday (3/3/2024) and we loved it!!! We got the spicy buns (the buns were the freshest we ever had), Japanese karaage, pork gyoza (very succulent) and plum wine. My boyfriend throughly enjoyed the Ramen while I loved the kimichi fried rice with chicken. It's near public transportation and right near the Barclay Center, where we had an event to attend. The setting was great, the service was fast & friendly. Would I go back? Heck yea, I would!!!

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.

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'm so happy I found this casual spot with a great ramen menu! Will definitely come back and try another bowl of soup noodles. Service was great!

Food was fine though the karaage was dry and the pork gyoza did not have much filling inside.The inside dining area is small and the smell of cleaning products overpowered the space when they were mopping the bathroom.

(Frist time dinning at Kogane) Went here with my mom and aunt for my mom's birthday and was not disappointed! We arrived yesterday [26th, Friday] around 4:30pm and it was empty(yay). Our appetizers were Vegetable and Pork gyoza(my mom and aunt don't eat pork) it was delicious and well prepared. For ramen we had 2 Shoyu and 1 Tonkotsu and once again, it was delicious. Though it was my aunt's first time having ramen and she struggled with those chopsticks ? she loved it.The staff was polite and attentive to us. The food was great and they wait time for it was less than 15mins. The atmosphere was calm and pretty well organized when it comes to space- they also have outdoor seating. Given the time that we went, we were lucky and after about an hour more people started come.
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!
