Ren Restaurant

As a foodie who is constantly looking for unique high-end kosher experiences, I can confidently say that REN is a top 3 kosher restaurant in the world. From the moment you enter the establishment, you feel a sense of calm and comfort. The lighting, the plants, the music, the temperature of the room - an ambience carefully crafted with you in mind. The staff, beginning with Soso and George, are attentive, professional and courteous. They listen to your questions or comments, answer thoroughly and concisely and are not shy to make recommendations. I have been to REN multiple times with my partner and each time I am blown away. The menu, which evolves each time I visit, is filled with unique, nourishing, mind-blowing food. You can feel Chef Ronen's touch in everything. You can taste the decades of professional, perfectionist, preparation with high-end execution that has come to symbolize this fine establishment. If there ever will be a kosher restaurant that can contend for a Michelin Star - REN will be on that list. When I come to REN, I come to satisfy not a physical, but much more so an artistic, futuristic, classic fusion of fine dining. Come here if you want to be amazed.

Ren is the kind of restaurant that justifies devotion—and in our case, a two-and-a-half-hour drive—without hesitation. It didn’t merely meet expectations; it shattered them!, Starting with a cocktail program that deserves its own standing ovation (shout out to the awesome mixologist!) . The chili passion fruit drink was vibrant and seductive, while the espresso martini struck that hard-to-find balance between indulgence and precision. The food followed suit with with a level of precision flair that you tell tell they love what they do (and they are great at it!) : a deeply satisfying ramen soup layered with comfort and complexity, a burger that rivaled the best I have ever tried in my life, and a cheesecake so impossibly creamy and rich that learning it was dairy-free felt like culinary sleight of hand. Yes, we had some amazing other dishes (see pics) but I wanted to keep this review "short" :) What truly elevated the experience, however, was the service—warm, attentive, and genuinely personal, delivered with an ease that made us feel less like guests and more like welcomed regulars. Ren isn’t just a great kosher restaurant; it’s a destination, and one we’d happily travel for again.

From a chef’s-foodie's perspective, this restaurant demonstrates a rare level of discipline and respect for product. The sourcing is clearly top-tier, and it shows in both texture and flavor. Steaks are seasoned with restraint, allowing the natural character of the meat to lead, and cooked with impressive precision — proper crust development, even internal temperature, and excellent resting. Fat rendering is spot-on, resulting in richness without heaviness. Sides are thoughtfully composed to support, not distract from, the protein. Service is professional and informed, with a clear understanding of timing and flow. This establishment proves that kosher steakhouses can compete confidently at the highest level of fine dining. A benchmark experience.

REN is an exceptional kosher dining experience in Brooklyn that truly feels elevated. Every course is a work of art—from the thoughtful plating to the precise balance of flavors. The meal showcased impeccable technique and creativity. Delicately sliced proteins were cooked perfectly and paired with rich, elegant sauces that enhanced rather than overwhelmed.

The atmosphere is modern and intimate, making it ideal for a special night out, while the service is polished, knowledgeable, and attentive without being intrusive. REN sets a new standard for upscale kosher cuisine—innovative, sophisticated, and absolutely memorable. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates fine dining done right.

Ren is hands down one of the best kosher dining experiences in New York. The service is a full 10/10—from the moment we walked in, the manager and the entire staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making the experience perfect. The duck was excellent—rich, flavorful, and cooked beautifully. The wine was great too. Amazing food, incredible people, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend and definitely coming back.

From start to finish, the experience at Ren was exceptional. The reservation process was seamless, and the welcome upon arrival immediately set the tone for a special evening. The ambiance is elegant yet comfortable, making it perfect for both celebrations and relaxed dinners. The food was creative, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious each dish felt thoughtful and well balanced. Service was attentive and polished without ever feeling intrusive, and small details throughout the evening made a big difference. A truly memorable dining experience. Ren is the kind of place you look forward to returning to, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something special.

Tonight’s experience has taken us over the top. A table of absolute Heaven!! RISOTTO, BEEF TATAKI, CAULIFLOWER SALAD, VEAL TARTARE, SEA BASS ZUCCHINI FLOWER AND A 10 STAR CHATEAU STEAK. This Restaurant is a must. This Restaurant will always be our top rated favorite! Thank you, Chef Ronen! Thank you to Soso and your magnificent Team.

May be the best kosher meal I've ever had. The food was by far the most creative I've seen anywhere since Pardes closed. Every bite was phenomenal and perfectly prepared. The ambience is warm, classy and comfortable. The service was outstanding. My husband and I had the kohlrabi wontons, smoked duck potato gratin, and a chateubriand steak that was so tender it cut with just a fork. Can't recommend this place enough, run don't walk to REN!!

My wife and I chose Ren Restaurant in Brooklyn for our anniversary dinner, and it was an experience that transcended all our dining expectations. From the moment we stepped through the doors, it was clear that Ren is leagues above any other restaurant we've visited. Calling Ren a restaurant feels almost like an understatement; it's a culinary journey. The menu is a testament to culinary artistry - each dish, from the appetizers through to the desserts, was a masterpiece. The flavors and textures were unique and memorable, with each bite cooked to absolute perfection. The service at Ren deserves its own accolade - it's a five-star experience in its own right. The waitstaff was attentive without being intrusive, enriching our evening with detailed descriptions of each dish. They didn't just serve food; they presented a story on a plate, explaining the intricate details of the ingredients, preparation, and the symphony of flavors to expect. The ambiance of Ren added to the magic of the evening. The decor was tasteful, the furniture and seating comfortable, creating an environment that was both elegant and inviting. It's clear that attention to detail is a priority here, and it shows in every aspect of the restaurant. In conclusion, dining at Ren isn't just a meal; it's an immersive experience that tantalizes all the senses. While it may not be the most budget-friendly option, what you receive is far more than just food - it's an evening of unforgettable culinary exploration. I wholeheartedly recommend Ren Restaurant for anyone looking to elevate their dining experience to extraordinary heights.

Incredible experience at Ren last night. The space is intimate and very beautiful. Everything was exquisite. They have a cocktail list that will satisfy anyone with perfectly prepared cocktails. We tried a few. We had shared light bites - the pasta is handmade and delicious! The wagyu steak I mean! Do I even have to say it. Divine. Too bad they had such a short fun. Great concept and restaurant but not the right fit for the neighborhood which is probably why they didn't make it.

We had an amazing experience at Ren. The food was a work of art and delicious, the server was very knowledgeable and pleasant, the space is a beautiful & large space, nice ambiance. I recommend one of the chef's tasting menus for the real experience.

Wow, what an experience! They food was delicious and so unique. It truly was a gastronomical experience. The chef and staff were so accommodating to my vegetarian diet, which I was so grateful for.

My husband and I went there for dinner. The food was amazing! We had a tasting menu, everything we've tried we enjoyed! The pasta dish was the best pasta I've ever had! The fish was delicious! The steak just melted in your mouth! The drinks OMG! We definitely will return!
