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.

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.

waited about 20 before a waiter approched us and asked what we wanted to drink.The place wasnt full or busy so its not like they couldnt get to us in fair amount of time .My Complaint of the menu is that it is very limited.alot of items you can get at other places are not on the menu.BBQ chicken they didnt even have that on the menu or "Moo gra tiem" which is a thai dish everyone should have.Just not very good for the prices they are charging.They may be trying to set themselve apart from other thai restaurants but i think they are losing alot of patronage because of it. The appetizers came out late.The rice came out before the entrees.Oh and thats another thing i dont like that they sell rice in side portions.as an asian i find this unsettling. Only 1 out of 2 soups made it to the table.Just bad all around service .Back when we lived on potrero hill when it first opened or it may have been under diferent managment then,it was ok.But over the years it has degraded.Every now and then i go back just to see if it has improved and it has not.I advise to skip this place for food but it looks like a swank lil bar to meet freinds at or just chill.i recommend Manoras 12th and folsom,Neecha thai on Scot st.Thep Phenom on fillmore by duboce,i would drive a lil further for good food.If you want to talk to me in person feel free to call me at my home.
Pros: Nice interior and bar area
Cons: cold staff
