Editorial Review for Lingba Restaurant – by Joanna Currier

In Short:
Wood tables--low with leather cushions and booths in the lounge area--and wicker fixtures are offset by yellow walls in this sleek restaurant, which has been conjoined with the bar next door. The occasional monkey or bird statuary keep the venue's original tiki feel, though the space is an upscale spot for a date, cocktail or inexpensive meal. Menu items include homemade Thai beef jerky, curries, Lao-style barbequed chicken and specialty Thai salads.

User Reviews for Lingba Restaurant

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Lingba is my favorite lounge in the city. The cocktails are out of this world good, and the food is solid as well. I love going here with my girlfriends for drinks and snacks. Personal favorites are the lolita and strawberry mojito. Also you have to try the monkey bowl with the poloroid picture as least once

Pros: cocktails, ambiance

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

The 1st time I was at Lingba the service was pretty bad. Tried it one more time and I was appalled and vowed never to return. After waiting about 15 minutes to be noticed on a slow night, the female server came to take our drink order and didn't know what a dacari was. She got extremely annoyed as my friend described it ("it's a margarita with rum instead of tequila), my friend had to go up to the bartender to explain it. We all got our drinks, except the dacari. 15 minutes later we realized it was still sitting on the bar and had melted. We asked the server for a different drink and she snarled, turned away, and never came back to the table. We all were completely awe-struck by her attitude that we burst into laughs because it was so unbelievable.
