One of the sweetest, most tight-knit communities in the 718. Prospect Heights has seen much change in its time, which is visible in the architecture alone - the streets are lined with a mix of beautiful historic rowhouses and new luxury condos. Though small in size, it holds two of the borough’s largest institutions - the BK Museum and the BK Public Library - as well as the Barclays Center, home to the NBA's Brooklyn Nets. Over the past 15 years, we’ve witnessed the resurgence of restaurants, nightlife and shops, putting Prospect Heights on the grid as a beloved Brooklyn destination.
High-quality, tasty coffee and pastries in an airy, elegant space.
We love Japanese food with a passion. We even make our own ramen and pork bun dishes at home, and they’re really quite good. They’re just not nearly as GREAT as this. Across from its little sister Bar Chuko, Chuko Ramen is one of the most popular spots in the neighborhood. There’s always a wait and for good reason. The owners are three veteran chefs of Morimoto, a modern Japanese cuisine restaurant, and Morimoto himself is one of the original seven Iron Chefs. Chuko has been hailed by Food & Wine and many others as one of NYC’s best ramen restaurants. A bold statement to make in this town, but you easily begin to understand how accurate that claim is with one bite. Our must haves are: shrimp bun with garlic tartar sauce, steam bun with pork + chili mayo, kale salad with crispy sweet potato + raisins + miso. P.S. the chef’s fave is the Soy Ramen with scallion, egg and bamboo.
