    Mochiko Chicken Wings (6pc) and poke
    Christopher N.

    Visited Sweet Talk because I was seeing a show at the Bell House. It's a cute Hawaiian restaurant with friendly servers. We sat outside (weather was warmer at this time!) and ordered drinks and apps. I had higher hopes for the wings, I remember thinking they were just fine. The poke chips were good--big pieces of tuna! I just wish there were even more. Cocktails were tasty but a little pricy. The kalbi ribs with rice and Mac salad was okay. If I were to return I would probably make different choices. I had a favorite Hawaiian spot in Queens that has since closed, but I don't necessarily think Sweet Talk is moving up the ranks and taking its spot.

    Such a cute spot with excellent drinks! My husband and I stopped by right as they opened and we're welcomed in. The ambiance of Sweet Talk is fun, energetic and lively. The music was loud enough to provide ambiance but not be too much. The lighting makes the spot super cute for a fun night out or date night. My husband and I agree that this place smelled amazing. We ordered a couple of tacos - all were amazing, though a little messy to eat. For our entrees we ordered the pork plate and kalbi plate with lomi lomi. UGH. Just thinking about it makes me hungry. All excellent. Drinks are spot on too. We'll be back with friends for sure!

    wonderful dinner at Sweet Talk in Brooklyn,, a Hawaiian place where we had toro nachos, beef, tuna and chicken tacos (which I named "the land sea and air special) and strong strong drinks. Very cute interior with a big covered patio on the side.

    I favored the appetizers and drinks more than the mains at @sweettalkbk , and my favorites from the night were the garlic aioli elotes and the tater tots! This was my first time trying elotes, and shout out to @casserolebites for coming up with the idea of scooping them with the taro chips - what a great combo! These are yummy and easy to eat! Definitely loved the garlic aioli more than the avocado cream flavor. Tater tots were the first thing recommended to us and they were actually so good! Not your typical crispy ones, but very chewy and cheesy! The pandan mojito also left a strong impression. Interesting mix. Never had it before and I really liked it. The pandan flavor was subtle but comes out at the end of every sip. So good!

    Solid spot if you're craving Hawaiian! I have to start by saying the food and drinks were really tasty and I enjoyed everything I ordered. I came with a group of 6 on a Sunday night and we ordered taro chips and tater tots as appetizers. For my entree I ordered the Kahlua pork platter and also tried some of my friend's kalbi platter. Both were very flavorful and I loved the side of Mac salad and the lomilomi was decent as well. Unfortunately, the 2 star docked is for the service. I know our server mentioned the orders were extremely backed up that night and I definitely appreciated that she was upfront about that. However, it still did take over an hour for any apps or drinks to come out. Also, the restaurant itself is on the smaller side so a party of 6 is actually quite difficult to accommodate. We had to take the outdoor seating after realizing there was no way to fit the party together indoors and I will say they do not have a sufficient amount of heat lamps for the outdoor seating to be comfortable. It was extremely cold and we felt every gust of wind and the slow service/lack of food only emphasized our discomfort more. That being said, I do still recommend this spot for its food and would consider coming back at a time when they're less busy.

    The Poke Bowl was fresh and flavorful!

    My friend and I were eating our way down this excellent street in the Gowanus neighborhood the other night and we stopped in to Sweet Talk for some Hawaiian food. The first restaurant we hit was bright, Sweet Talk is more intimate. It's dimly lit and cozy, very pleasant. Our waitress was pleasant and helpful throughout our meal. We selected the Loco Moco and Poke Bowls. I had wanted to try the Loco Moco, since it seemed like a pretty authentic Hawaiian dish. Both entrees delivered in the flavor department. The poke bowl was pretty standard but all of the elements were nice and fresh. The Loco Moco was very enjoyable, the burger and egg combo was tasty and everything on the plate was well seasoned. Even the white rice delivered in the flavor department. We were in and out of Sweet Talk pretty quickly but our time there left a good impression.

    Nice little Caribbean place with cute Lu-out vibes. Enjoyed the Thani fruit as well as tuna tacos and nachos. Great service and can customize cocktails based on flavoring. Cute little place

    MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE Nọ3
 Mezcal, Campari, Cocchi Vermouth di Torino, Banane de Brazil. Fantastic.
    Glenn C.

    I was here with a bunch of others a while back. At first, I was here prior to happy hour ending and I started with a cocktail (unsure why I cannot remember whether it was an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan outside of it being obnoxiously overly sweet to be either) which was not good. It might be cheap but it was cheap for a reason. Afterwards even though happy hour was still not over by the time we ordered, I decided to go with the Message In a Bottle Nọ3 which consisted of Mezcal, Campari, Cocchi Vermouth di Torino, and Banane de Brazil for $16. This was a much more successful cocktail. Nice balance between the alcohol and not too sweet with some extra bitterness. It was also served in a bottle with a small pirate flag on it which was humorous. I started off my meal with the elotes which they list as bi color organic corn off the cob (so it should be esquites not elotes but it's not a Mexican place and the former while incorrect is much more recognizable so whatever.) All technical language aside, there were a few options and I went with the traditional which had garlic aioli, chili powder, and queso fresco and it was $6. I am used to both of these corn dishes being spicy and I was hoping that the chili powder would add some flavor but it was more creamy and cheesy so it was a little bit different. I liked the corn flavor and texture though I definitely would have preferred more heat but it was fine. Another person had the Portuguese soup which came out in a rather large portion and he liked it a lot and I believe someone had some tacos which they liked also. My main dish was the Haole bowl what consist of sushi rice, avocado, radish, edamame, kimchi, cucumber, quick pickle, and asparagus. The price changes based on fish and I went with tuna and it was $18 which is a bit expensive for a solo fish poke but it is a restaurant so it is easier to not mind. In terms of my sauce, I went with the garlic shoyu. The fish quality was high but the kimchi and asparagus didn't really go well with it and overall it was fine though perhaps some would find it a little bit bland. If the service wasn't so haphazard, I probably would have asked for some other sauce to be added. Other people had the Loco Moco which I tried a little bit of and I liked it. Another person got the katsu which came out a little bit later than the other dishes and it was piping hot and they loved it. I believe that for once I did not get the best dishes. Perhaps don't get the poke here and stick with the plates as you definitely get more for the money. It's hard for me to give a proper rating for this place. Also hard to rate as one cocktail was excellent and worth the full price and the other one was terrible and not even worth it for happy hour.

    Grilled Chicken Plate

    The chicken plate was well seasoned, the marconi salad was very flavorful. Also got an amaraetto sour for a drink. Service was attentive and kind.

    Kalua pork plate.
    Wendy W.

    The three of us surprised our waiter with how much we ordered. He thought we were just there for drinks and a light snack, but nope, we came hungry and ready to eat some tasty Hawaiian food. I enjoyed the kalua pork, which was really tender and flavorful. The creaminess of the macaroni salad and refreshing bites of lomi lomi added a nice contrast. The loco moco was comforting but milder than I expected, so I probably wouldn't order it again. The salmon poke bowl was comparatively lighter. The salmon was fresh and well marinated with that classic shoyu sauce, and the bowl had edamame, kimchi, avocado, cucumber, and other veggies that made it more substantial than the smaller traditional version on the menu. We had to tack on one of the desserts, and we all loved the malasada, which was a puffy, airy kind of doughnut. It paired so perfectly with the passion fruit sauce. I don't particularly care about Nutella, but I didn't mind it here. I'd also recommend the Saturn's Return cocktail. Clearly I can't turn down anything with passion fruit in it. It had a nice blend of sweetness and tartness to balance out the alcohol. I also got the kalbi plate to go and the meat was very tasty, with a nice bit of smokiness and sweetness from the marinade. A bit chewy but really good otherwise.

I went on a Friday evening around 9:30pm. It was still fairly busy inside, but it was mostly people grabbing to-go orders. After ordering I snagged a spot at the counter. There's extremely limited seating, so I wouldn't bank on eating at the restaurant when it's busy. Be prepared to take your food to go. I got the Nene's Deluxe, which comes with a taco, a mulita, and an empanada - all with Birria of course. It was all delicious. The mulita was at the bottom of the box and got completely soaked with Birria. It was extremely messy to eat. Get plenty of napkins. I also got a side of fries and nacho cheese, because it was a long week and I deserved it. They had a seasonal strawberry horchata as well. This was okay. I also think I might just not love horchata in general. This meal definitely hit the spot. The Birria and consommé were top notch. I would return in a heartbeat.

I tried something different than my usual and went with the Adobada Tacos (Pork Al Pastor). The meat itself was spicy and a little rough, which leads me to believe it was maybe old meat. Instead of cubed, the pineapple was shredded which offered a nice touch. Unfortunately the actual taco got soggy by the time I ate it so I just picked out the meats and pineapple. There is plenty of avocado green sauce placed on top, which moving forward, I will request to be on the side to prevent the taco from getting soggy. Overall I probably should just stick to what I know/like so I'm willing to give this location another shot!

Our reservation was for 8:30pm, but we arrived early and Alejandra, the hostess, was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Even though she was ready to seat us, we decided to hang at the bar until the rest of our party arrived and that was the perfect move. Alkarys behind the bar was top-tier. She recommended the Siempre Reposado, and let me tell you... smooth, clean, dangerously good. If you're into tequila, that's a must. Now let's talk about the food. We ordered the quesadilla, rajas, tamales, tacos, and the queso fundido and every single dish hit. The queso fundido came out bubbling, rich, perfectly melted with that pull you want when you scoop it up. The tamales were moist and packed with flavor, wrapped beautifully and clearly made with care. The rajas had that perfect balance of roasted pepper sweetness and savory depth. The tacos? Authentic, well-seasoned, and layered with flavor, no shortcuts. Even the quesadilla stood out, crispy on the outside with that perfectly melted interior. Everything felt traditional, elevated but still true to its roots. You can taste the authenticity. Service was attentive without being overbearing, the ambiance was super casual and laid back, the kind of Brooklyn spot you pull up to for a real dinner experience, not just a quick bite. Highly recommend this place if you're out and about in Brooklyn. Definitely coming back for the tequila, the queso fundido, and round two of those tacos. I'm gonna try eating at the bar to check out the spot in the front of the house.
