Its a fine place. For some reason, dishes can be inconsistent. That being said, the pancakes are top tier. 👌

Food is mid, overpriced and small portions. Service was attentive and atmosphere was nice. Will not be back. Hokkaido milk bread was atrocious, it is nothing like it, very dense and stale. The group was not full at all after ordering half the menu.

The beef pie (not pictured because we ate that in like ten seconds) is absolutely scrumptious, however the rest of the dishes were nothing to really write home about (though they didn’t taste bad at all). Like someone said, not the best Japanese fusion place but I definitely think their beef pie is worth a visit.
Otherwise servers were very nice, atmosphere however didn’t feel very Japanese at all for a Japanese fusion restaurant lol

This Thi restaurant in Brooklyn was so delicious if you like Thi give this a go. Wednesday 40% off wine. It'scalled Lingo. The food was so exciting and balanced flavors! Their bold original menu reflects a deep love of flavors as well as an educated chef who pulls off their amazing flavors. Can't recommend enough!

My partner and I visited for brunch and had a great experience. The service was exceptional — the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The restaurant, including the bathroom, was very clean and well-maintained.
We ordered the Japanese breakfast set and the apple tart tatin pancakes. The short rib in the breakfast set was a highlight — beautifully cooked, juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The tomato soup, however, was a bit too salty for our taste.
The pancakes were light and fluffy, which I really enjoyed. However, I wasn’t a fan of the apple and miso caramel topping. The apple lacked flavor, and the miso caramel had a bitter note that didn’t quite work for me.

Came in with a small group. You can tell the space is extremely well polished. The food and service were brilliant. The owner (im assuming--long hair man) is also a great resource for any of your wine needs. He recommended us a wine that fit with our entire meal--one we were not familiar with but enjoyed a lot. He explain about the importance of flavor and texture balancing between food and drink in a way I did not think of. Lovely evening. Thank you Lingo. I recommend the octopus crudo

Impeccable and most delicious food. And the service was absolutely top tier. They had overheard us chatting about my fiancé‘s birthday the following week and they even brought us an extra dessert.

Wow what an amazing dining experience. Everything was so flavorful and so unique!
My top dishes were: 1. Hokkaido seafood somen noodles. So refreshing and full of amazing seafood flavor without being extremely strong or pungent. 2. Niku short rib jaga - meat was perfectly cooked and combined perfectly with the dashi flavor. 3. Lingo Beef pie - very hearty and aromatic. Delicious but did not stand out other than it's presentation. Probably the most American-inspired of all their dishes.
Also the cocktails were hitting the spot. Would for sure come here again.

wanted to try lingo for so long. milk bread was awesome, less like a milk bread & more like a pudding-y challah. (fantastic.) beef pie, with a curry interior, missed the mark on including potatoes & carrots, characteristic of both pot pie & curry. we heard lots about this item and flocked to try it. the gravy was a little thin & so we think a solution could be more items in the interior. also a bottom crust as opposed to only a top crust would be a great touch. the short rib was great, though the wasabi/potato recommended pairing was not for me. liked the gentle truffle taste in the gravy. the potatoes were great. the chicken meatball was very umami. needed a little seasoning on chicken. the pudding, a flan, had a VERY overpowering orange flavor that overshadowed the peach. the mousse cake was rich, chocolatey, bit dense, good.
I absolutely loved this Japanese fusion restaurant — the flavors and creativity were spot on!
We started with the chawanmushi, a delicately steamed egg custard served in a charming teacup. The addition of aged Parmesan was such a delightful twist — as a cheese lover, I was amazed by how perfectly it blended with the dish.
Next came the roasted bone marrow steak tartare, which was easily a 10/10. At first, I thought it was just presented in a marrow bone, but it actually incorporated the rich, juicy marrow into the tartare itself. The depth of flavor was unlike any tartare I’ve had before — incredibly savory and indulgent.
For mains, we shared the Lingo Beef Pie along with the Grilled Wild Scallion and Corn Donabe Rice. The beef pie was hearty and delicious, while the donabe rice stood out with its bright hint of lemon zest that added such a refreshing kick. The tempura corn and mushrooms on top were the perfect crispy, flavorful touch.
I’d highly recommend dining here — and as a bonus, the restaurant sits right by the waterfront. Coming at sunset, when the sky turns shades of orange and pink over the cityscape, makes the whole experience even more special 🥰

Not the best Japanese fusion but not the worst. Cod sand was the best thing on the table. The spiral potato was a little greasy and less flavorful than advertised on the menu. The apple tart tatin pancakes were very mid -- they looked very impressive but the batter was quite eggy, but not too sweet which is good if that's what you are looking for. Overall not bad.
