Streets

I have been stalking this place on IG for a year. I finally made my husband take a mental health day and we had lunch here. Very difficult not order the entire menu, but we did choose 4 dishes to share. Bulgogi steak tacos, Peri Peri wings, shrimp mofongo, and Thai duck salad. We took a culinary adventure around the world! Food was beyond amazing, great staff THANX YOLI! Gorgeous place that is in our top 5 places! Another hit for Brooklyn!

Umm yes I am totally here how you Chef Roble. Lol.
The sweet plantain French toast was delicious. We tried so many different dishes, I can’t remember them all, but everyday was so good.
The serve was so so but the atmosphere was great.

I LOVED this place! The diversity of the menu was amazing. We were a group of 8 friends new and old. We were sitted quickly and the waiter took our drink orders quick as well. Our waiter was so nice and polite. We ordered from the tapas menu, they had a deal 3 for $ 26 to be able to try a little of everything. We had doubles, trini corn soup and snack size bake and shark. I haven’t had that since my trip to Trinidad! We then ordered bulgolgi tacos, which were delicious. And let me not forget the music they played. It was everything I loved… reggae. Great place!

If this review was on the food alone, I would give it five stars.
I got Tapas option (doubles, bake and shark and peri peri wings) with the appetizer of Corn Soup and my boyfriend got the Cuban sandwich with a Roti Canai. It is probably the best doubles I have ever tasted in my life.
We didn’t get dessert because after the entrée, it was already a hour into the meal and we just wanted to do something else at that point.
The downsides
— the food is very pricy for «gourmet» street food.
— the service was a bit on the slow side. (however, we did go on a Saturday night during a holiday weekend)
— the restaurant is mess hall style so the noise level was elevated and dinner conversation for two people was basically shouting at each other.
Overall, the presentation was creative and the food was delicious but it wasn’t the ideal sit-​down meal experience.

After reading all the great reviews and looking at the menu my friend and I decided to try this place for brunch. They serve «street food» dishes that represent different countries or areas of cuisine. It’s also not far away from public transportation, for those that don’t want to deal with the horrendous parking situation in Brooklyn.
PROS:
1. Wait time was excellent. Was seated immediately with virtually no wait.
2. The food was beyond superb! The appetizers came out relatively quickly. We had the Peri Peri wings, Mexican Corn and Fries. They were all warm and delicious. The wings had a nice «kick» to it, and was fall off the bone scrumptious. I was surprised how great the Mexican Corn on the cob was and the fries were skinny, crispy and fantastic!
3. The main dishes — Costa Rican breakfast and Bake and Shark were all off the chain! Being from the Caribbean, I was especially circumspect of these dishes. However, they did not disappoint and were great from start to finish!
4. The «Painkiller» drink was one of the best I ever had. Very well mixed, went well with the food and they did not skimp on the alcohol. I highly recommend it!
5. Atmosphere was urban and would be suitable for a group.
CONS:
1. Our waiter was not as attentive as expected and I had to ask the bus boy twice for a drink and the waiter initially forgot we ordered fries. He was polite but did not go overboard to make you feel welcome or glad that you selected that restaurant to dine in.
2. The bus boy seemed to be the only one on duty so I can excuse his look of disdain when asked to mention to the waiter that I needed another drink.
So overall, the experience was great and I will certainly dine there again and highly recommend this restaurant. However they loss one star due to the wait staff not being attentive.

First time visiting New York and this was the first place I had to try. Everything that I had was absolutely delicious! No disappointments here. The Peri Peri Wings were saucy & tasty. The Mexican Street Corn had the perfect flavor of sweetness. I love Korean BBQ so the Bulgogi Tacos was on point! I also had a taste of the Bacalao, Bake N Shark, & Cuban sandwich. Very, very good! Will definitely be eating here a few more times before I leave back to CA!

Get the Bake N’ Shark. You won’t regret it! Everything I ordered was infused with flavor. It has a variety of street food choices just like the name. I enjoyed the Bulgogi tacos, peri peri wings, Mexican street corn, Cuban sandwich, bacalao bake and last but not least, bake n shark. I will definitely be coming back. Great service and great food.

Came here for my birthday and had a very nice evening. The restaurant itself is very cool.
We started with a trio of appetizers on one place. The appetizers included the peri wings, Mexican corn and the shark and bake. All were very good although I was not as excited about the corn. The shark and bake was delicious especially the dipping sauce that was served with it.
For entrees we went in opposite directions. I had the steamed fish in the banana leaf which was to die for! I could not get enough! We also had the jerk pork. I can tell why it’s one of their best dishes! It was yummy. We also had a free margarita for check in. But had to try their signature drinks. Painkiller and blackberry lemonade. Both good.
Ended my meal with a birthday cake. It was pretty but a little dense for my liking.
Overall this would have been a four star experience. Service was pretty decent until the end. They could not figure out how to use our gift certificate to pay for the meal. I was exhausted at this time and it took them an additional half an hour to figure out that they did not have the capacity to use their own gift certificate. Our server came to us to tell us that they were working on it and finally the manager came over to help resolve it. Not the best ending to our otherwise lovely evening.

I LOVE this place. Found out about it because of Roble, and was glad I made the trek across the bridge when I visited the city. I’ll try to make this brief, but I have a feeling that’s not in the cards…
The greeting:
My friend from London, and myself came from DC, and this place was on our list for our day trip before seeing Trevor Noah (basically we had the best day ever. be jealous. u should be.). We’d just come from the exhibit at The F.I.T. (check it out if you love fashion. it’s free and inspiring). Unfortunately our side trip caused us to miss the lunch service, and they were closed until dinner an hour or so later, and we would miss our show :-(They went to talk it over with the manager and chefs, then let us dine afterall! They won me right there.
The meal: I waited too long to post this but I remember Shark, peri peri wings, prawns, salt and vinegar fries, and everything was good ESP the fries! I wanted to bottle them. Our waiter as knowledgeable, polite, and patient. I forgot his name but he was Irish.
The facilities: Dimly lit, industrial urban vibe, but who cares. 80% of what I think of a restaurant is how clean the bathrooms are, and they were immaculate! Not an easy feat in the Big Apple, so I left quite full and quite pleased. Can’t wait to return… (I’ll post pics if I remember lol)

From the moment I entered, team streets bk was on the top of their game, the front of house lady very friendly, bar tender was very friendly, my waitress was awesome, she knew the specials, spice levels.
The food is was awesome, from apps to entrees, to our special dessert. The drinks are strong and well made, food is finger licking good, dessert was so delicious. Even got a chance to meet Chef Roble he was very friendly, warm and didn’t mind chatting with customers.
Thank you Chef Roble my money was well spent, and I shall return.

Amazing food! The service was amazing, our waiter Aidan was very prompt and knowledgeable. The peri peri wings had really nice sweet and spicy flavor. The sweet was not over powering.
I had the flank steak and papas which was delicious, and cooked perfectly. The jerk pork was tender and a bit smoky.
The sidecar cocktail is a must. I got a free house margarita for checking In on Unilocal
Overall a great experience! Will definitely be returning for brunch.

Just finished dinner here; Lamar was our server and he was phenomenal. We had the wings, corn, cheesy bread (after checking in on Unilocal this was free!), bake and shark, bulgogi tacos, spicy octopus, steak and carbomb.
I can’t begin to stress how amazing this place was, we had an amazing time! Definitely will be back, if only for the painkiller drink!

A good friend of mine brought me here for lunch this afternoon and I was completely blown away. Everything from the friendly service, industrial/​hip interior decór, impressive and interesting list of cocktails, beers and wines right down to the exquisiteness and yumminess of the food. The entire dining experience was sublime.
The design in particular is a unique blend of upscale, industrial Brooklyn chíc with a touch of rustic elements displayed by wood paneling and wicker chairs scattered throughout. It served as a warm balance juxtaposed with the exposed beams, ceiling pipes and concrete columns. We felt that the beverages served in mason jars added charm and elegance to the experience. I really adored the eclectic design and vibe of the space in general.
I checked in on on Unilocal and no sooner did our conscientious server bring us cheese stuffed Brazilian bread. It was warm, soft, chewy, heavenly goodness. We ordered the Peri Peri Wings which were scrumptious; the Thai Duck salad which was a harmony between refreshing, light and flavorful balanced with crispy Duck; finally the Cachapa: essentially a sweet/​salty corn cake filled with mozzarella cheese served with a side of maple syrup and butter. They were like velvet.
To drink I had the seasonal IPA (on tap) and my friend ordered the Mezcal Libation (a delicious, spicy tequila.) We agreed that the adult beverages only added to the experience and complimented the flavors of the food.
We balanced out the meal with a four layered dessert that consisted of chocolate cake, vanilla crème, more chocolate and a marscapone-​like crème layer on top.
I’d highly recommend Streets as a date-​night spot for dinner or a small outing with a group of friends. I look forward to coming back and trying more items from the menu.

Omg!!! This place is amazing… Came here again for dinner today with family and we loved every thing we ate. I had the bake and shark and it was fantastic! Not to mention we got to meet Chef Roble today! A must try on the drink menu is the Painkiller. Words cannot describe how good that drink is. Streets BK is my favorite restaurant right now. I want to try the entire menu.

Came here as a first stop in New York for a late night dinner with friends. The restaurant itself is a great place, pleasant atmosphere, easy to find, and cheerful wait staff. However, the food itself was average or slightly above average in regards to the fusion category.
For dinner, my friends and I ordered the following: bulgogi tacos, lamb shank, pork belly, Brazilian green rice, Reuben sandwich and the free cheese bread/​appetizer (that’s offered if you check in via Unilocal).
Cons: For the appetizer, the bread was quite bland with no flavor. The dough itself was a bit too dry and overall, not a memorable dish. For the pork belly, this dish was a bit over fried and a bit too salty than expected. For the Reuben sandwich, this was pretty average, the sauce used for the dish had a unique texture to it. The sandwich itself is not too big or small and is pretty filling. Finally, I didn’t really know what to expect of the green rice but it tasted like regular rice to me with no particular spices/​herbal flavoring to it.
Pros: The lamb shank and tacos were amazingly yummy! The tacos were an excellent example of Asian /​Mexican food fusion and was very tasty. Sweet and spicy, the tacos were filling with its beef and various veggies. As for the lamb shank, the sides were alright but the lamb itself was super tasty, with the meat being super tender and moist.
Overall, service here was pretty average. The waitstaff were friendly but given that it was a slow Thursday night, it did take us awhile to get the bill and such. I would recommend this place if you like tacos/​lambs or just want to take a stab at eating fusion food.

I want them to cater my wedding.
I’m a fan/​follower of Chef Roblé so when I found out I was going to New York I knew I had to make a stop at streets! He of course was out of town this weekend so I didn’t have a in in but the staff was amazing. Friendly and polite. The food was awesome. I had the bake n shark and my friend had the plantain foster French toast. Both were absolutely delicious.
Everything was reasonably priced and they were even handing out free snow cones to passer Byers on the street which is awesome and welcomed on this hot summer day!
They had a great brunch menus with special drinks. The atmosphere was decorated well and it wasn’t too crowded. If I lived in the area is absolutely go back but since I don’t, I suggest those of you that do, or find yourself in Brooklyn to stop by!

I never really hangout in Brooklyn, but Roble is my favorite chef, so this «out of the way» trip to Streets was necessary.
We came here on Valentine’s Day and surprisingly it wasn’t as crowded as I thought it’d be. We made reservations, but arrived fifteen minutes late (blame the MTA), so we had to wait an additional twenty minutes for our seats. The restaurant hostesses were pleasant and patient when we continued to follow up on our wait time, so kudos to them.
We peaked at the menu online before our visit, so we were ready to order as soon as the waiter came to our table. I ordered Mariscadas with a side if Brazilian Green Rice and he went with the Bulgogi Beef Tacos and Lobster Roll. If you are a seafoodie then get the Mariscadas with a Clementine Cilantro Mojito and don’t forget to thank me later. Also scored a complimentary order of warm, cheesy, yummy Pão de Quejio for checking-​in on Unilocal.To sum up this review, everything was delicious and everybody should check it out.
Brooklyn’s restaurant scene just became more interesting. You’ll catch this Manhattan girl in BK more often.

3.5 stars
So I had been dying to come to this place since it opened several weeks ago. I’d been seeing it all over Unilocal and seeing many of my Unilocal buddies check in to this place.
I was so desperate to come here that I endured an hour and 10 minute bus ride across Brooklyn to arrive to the remote area where Streets is located.
My experience here was a good one. Good, not great. I unfortunately did not experience anything spectacular overall but one thing that did stand out and was particularly memorable for me was the $ 12 Pain Killer drink they have. It is insanely delicious and a must have when coming here. Days after coming here and I’m still thinking about it. The drink is a concoction of pure magical goodness that tenderly tingles my tastebuds.
When the other members of our party arrived, we were seated and I decided to try a different drink seeing as to how good the pain killer was. I ordered the blackberry lemonade and it was not nearly as good as the pain killer. So I told the waitress and she gladly switched the drink. I was anxious to see if they charged me on the bill for the drink I returned and they didn’t. So they get cool points for that.
When my sister and friend each ordered the vinegar fries, they seemed a little dry and sparse. My other friend decided to order fries a few minutes after them and her fries came to the table looking like the opposite of what my friend and sister got. Her fries were fresh and plentiful. My friend immediately asked for them to take the fries back because it looked like they got the bottom of the barrel. They gladly took it back and they received a fresh order of fries. We never would have known how good the fries were supposed to be and look had my friend not ordered her own fries after them. They lose points for lack of consistency.
The staff is pretty nice and accommodating. My sister and I first sat at the bar while we awaited our friends to arrive for our reservation. The bartender was cute and chill and made the bomb ass pain killer I mentioned before per his recommendation. The atmosphere is really chill and what you’d expect for the area of Williamsburg.
I had the Bulgogi Tacos which were pretty good and the vinegar fries which I think complimented the tacos well. My friend also ordered the tacos and enjoyed them and my other amiga ordered the lobster roll sandwich which she enjoyed.
The food here was good and fairly priced. Even with the long commute, I will be making my way back here sooner rather than later, probably when it gets a little warmer to try the peri peri wings and other enticing foods they have on their menu. And oh yeah, I’ll be back for some more of that pain killer ;) This place is worth checking out.

My overall experience was As Good As it Gets!
Greeted by exceptionally warm hosts with complimentary coat check was a great way to start. We were seated at the bar while we waited for our table, which was ready at the exact time of our reservation. We decided to sit at the bar and eat because we had gotten comfortable and the bartenders were friendly and funny.
We order a few things off the small plates menu and shared everything. All ingredients were fresh and well put together.
Highlights — Bake and Shark (done to perfection) and the Spicy Seoul Octopus (so yummy and spicy). The bulgogi tacos also very very good. The flavors combined are unexpected but work oh so well together.
This is a place where I encourage you to take risks. Try new things, flavors, proteins, combinations. The concept works well, as well as the menu. You can play with small plate, go for an entrée or combine things to create an amazing food experience.
Enjoy!

It’s been quite some time since I’ve had so much excitement to check out a new restaurant. Ever since Marissa M discovered Streets last week and told me about it we have been eagerly anticipating our opportunity to visit and try some of that delicious looking food we saw on Instagram.
The food: The bulgogi on the bulgogi taco is not even Bulgogi. Even a staff member referred to it as «the steak taco» and had no idea what bulgogi was. There wasn’t a trace of that sweet bulgogi marinade you would expect on something being advertised as «bulgogi». While it wasn’t bad, it definitely is not what’s it’s being advertised to be. And to make matters worse their using generic store bought flour tortillas instead of freshly made ones. This item was mediocre at best.
Remember that Fourth of July your dad decided to BBQ some chicken? And he came back with a tray of chicken wings that on some parts were black and other parts looked undercooked? That’s exactly what just happened at Streets, only they brushed on their bootleg version of peri peri sauce. What was apparent is that the chicken wasn’t marinated for any significant amount time (or at all). Not a bit of seasoning had penetrated the skin. let me not forget the worse part of the chicken. They use those abnormally plump hormone injected wings. This is probably why the chicken was borderline under cooked. It’s difficult to cook that steroid chicken all the way through. If you’ve ever had Nandos chicken in Europe you would reject this garbage.
The Bake and Shark was this places only saving grace. Now this is what we came here for, ethnic food done right. The bake was crispy and went well with that nicely seasoned, breaded and fried shark meat. The shark had the flavor of a very clean tasting fish and a wonderful tender texture. That bake and shark is a the only thing I can recommend ordering at streets.
Streets is a classic example of a place with an Executive Chef that had brilliant ideas that the kitchen staff is incapable of executing. I see the stock pictures their using on their Instagram and in their Unilocal page but much of what we ordered looks nothing like those pictures. I really wanted to love this place because in concept it’s everything I’ve been waiting for in a new restaurant. But much of what we were served tonight was mediocre or just plain awful. They get a 2.5 instead of a 1 because that bake and shark is something special and because the service was fast and courteous.
Tip to Management: Patrons don’t need multiple staff members refilling our water ever 3 minutes. It interrupts conversations between patrons and just gets in the way. Since the carafes full of water are left at the table just let us pour our own water.
