Came here for dinner without a reservation and was able to snag a table without a wait time. I think it was a little after 5pm. The place did get full quickly even with them squeezing every ounce of space to seat people. It's not a big spot but they were definitely channelling their inner Parisians when drawing up the blue print. The food was a hit or miss for us. Steak Sando - It's a steak sandwich and the steak was tough. (For my own personal gripe, why do people insist on calling it a sando here if they can't replicate how a sando tastes like in Japan?) Masala Latkes - could have been better? The latkes wasn't crispy enough so it was a lot of soft on soft texture for my liking. Flavor was good. Mumbai pot pie - Delicious! This was definitely a hit for us. We loved how the chicken was so flavorful and the crust was just right with the flakiness. It's more of a phyllo dough crust than a traditional pie crust. I also tried the Hanami Bloom drink which was good and strong. Overall, it's a nice experience and the ambiance was great. It's on the pricier side so just go in expecting it. Place is new so it's very clean and the staff was friendly. read more

Had a lovely dinner at Folk and the experience was overall positive. The inside is very well-decorated and seating is plentiful. Staff were friendly but seemed a bit overwhelmed with a full house. Drinks were pretty good, but fairly high priced, as the food. There were two options that could be made without meat or dairy, the arancini and risotto, which were excellently seasoned , but they lacked substantive texture from proteins. Some more mushrooms, legumes, chickpeas or baked tofu would be nice. We would definitely come back and hopefully try some new dishes if they expanded their plant-based offerings. I know they aren't required to do so but this is South Slope and the plant-based market isn't fully tapped yet here as it is in Manhattan or North Brooklyn so I think any restaurant that capitalizes on that would attract a much wider audience. read more

Folk Cocktail bar... Drinks: 5 stars Service: 5 starts Ambiance: 5 stars A friend of mine discovered this place and wanted to check it out, so we decided to stop by. We arrived right as they were closing, but the owner and bartender were incredibly kind and still welcomed us in for a drink or two since it was our first visit. They were warm, friendly, and took the time to tell us about the beverages, how they were created and the inspiration behind them, which made the experience feel personal and thoughtful. Although we didn't stay long, we really enjoyed the ambiance. The vibe is perfect for a casual yet intimate date or a relaxed drink with a friend where you can actually hold a conversation without shouting over loud music. Cozy atmosphere, soft lighting, and great service all around. I would definitely return. *Sorry didn't get a chance to take photos of her beverage since I was so caught up in conversation. Promise to take pictures the next time I visit. read more

Amazing drinks and great food! What a great place for drinks and eats! Beautifully crafty drinks. The Mangolorean was sweet, frothy, and impossible to put down. My friends had the Hudson, Orchard, Sunset. It was so unique - slightly sweet, slightly bitter, and delicious. The food was just as amazing. My table shared the pupu platter plus the crab risotto and oryster latkes. Definitely get the pupu platter. We could not decide on our favorites! read more

A wonderful experience for foodies. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The server was lovely and helpful. The owner, Jake, was very welcoming. We came early at 5 PM before the 6 o'clock Friday night crowd! read more

Welcome to South Slope, Folk! Loving the trend of elevated dining options coming to the Park Slope area. We went on their opening weekend, and while I would normally give our experience a 4 star rating, I think they are ambitious enough to work out the kinks and make this a fun place to visit again and again. While walk ins are listed as strongly encouraged, the only walk in options were sitting at the bar. There are two bar areas so there were roughly 12-15 seats for walk-ins overall. We got there are 450, were first in line, and by 510, the restaurant was full. Drinks took quite a long time but again, opening weekend, so I'm sure they will get there. The options were in some ways a little too interesting? I like a savory cocktail but celery, cilantro and yogurt in one drink, probably not our thing. The one I did have, the mexpipe, grew on me during the drink. It needed a hit of lime to really make it sing. Again, they'll figure it out. I appreciate that they are trying new things. We like to try everything and had the pupu platter (excellent and generous), the burger (very good, but a little overpriced), the latkes (super interesting and nice hit of spice), the roti tagliatelle (nice but skippable) and the tuna tartare (the least successful dish - very little fish, and in something that should have been crispy but was more of a lukewarm pita pocket, making the fish also room temperature. yuck. none of us had more than one bite). We also ordered the chicken which never arrived, but they were very accommodating in removing it from our bill. Service was very friendly, the owner circulating and genuinely asking for feedback. The space was warm and inviting with nice lighting, lots of tables (a little too close together) and just a general convivial feel. I would definitely go back in a few weeks or months to see how things progress. I have no doubt that they will work hard to make Folk a true mainstay in our area. read more

Came in for lunch while working nearby this guy sitting around claimed to be the owner cursed at me saying "who tf are you?!" I motion for him to calm down and he said "no one does that in my shop! Who are you!" Bri I just walked in the store and you're yelling? Are you good? I asked if I can at least use the restroom and he kept getting angry and cursing so I left telling him to fuck off. I'd never come here or bring my family here after that. Crazy shit. read more

Folk is an absolute must visit. I've searched for great fish and chips in London and around the world, and somehow the best I've ever had is right here in Brooklyn. Perfectly thin crisp, beautifully cooked, and clearly made wish Michelin way--it's the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after the plate is gone. Beyond the food, Folk has become one of my favorite Brooklyn spots. The vibe is effortless and inviting, with that perfect hum of people enjoying great food and even better company. It feels alive without being overwhelming. A place you want to linger, return to, and bring friends to. read more

We went to Folk last weekend and it was just such a good night. The vibe is great and every dish was better than the last. I'm still thinking about that Pakora Fried Chicken. The drinks were great too, actually balanced and well made, not just pretty. You can tell they really care about what they're doing. The owner is awesome and so welcoming, which made the whole experience feel even more special. We will definitely be back! read more

Delicious food and excellent drinks. So happy this is a block away from me! Pupu platter and Veggie pot pie are a must get!
