Editorial Review for Lingba Lounge – by Joanna Currier
In Short:
What was once a bushy, palm-filled bar has been deforested, sleeked up and conjoined with the restaurant next door. Black wood tables--low with leather cushions and booths in the lounge area--and wicker fixtures are offset by yellow walls. 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.

approximately 14 of us went here of the weekend to celebrate our friend's birthday and they were very accommodating, then again we also placed a reservation beforehand. + food was amazing + service was wonderful *** tip1: if ordering the jerkey, order a side of rice to go along with. *** tip2: if you're in a manual wheelchair, ask for a drop off in front of the restaurant to save you or your companions back from breaking - handicap access to and in the restroom is eh; however, they will assist with creating a pathway to the lav but there aren't any bars around the toilet to hold on to. -- parking availability

We went here for date night for some appetizers and drinks. It was great as far as ambiance - dark, live DJ, fun bar/lounge area. We started off with drinks, The Lingba Tea (fun twist on a Long Island) and the strawberry mojito (tasty but nothing to write home about). We also ordered the spring roll appetizer and the baby back pork ribs. The spring rolls were bizarre. The filling was made up of slices of egg, tofu, cucumber and chinese sausage. The flavors were bland and didn't come together - probably due to the fact that it was four separate ingredients rolled in rice paper with nothing cohesive to bind it together. The ribs were TOO salty! I took one bite and couldn't finish. My boyfriend ordered rice just to finish the dish. We should have stopped at apps, but we were still a little hungry so we ordered the rock cod curry and crispy tofu. Both were under par - the cod was grilled and tasted burnt while the tofu was bland. I would definitely never eat here again. Maybe for drinks with some friends - we had another round of the Tuk Tuk and Lolita, yum - but will never touch the food.
Pros: food
Cons: atmosphere, fun drinks
