We started off with some tasty cocktails: A Japanese twist on a margarita and an amazing whiskey-based pink one (the name escapes me but it was truly unique and delicious. We had their rendition of a Caeser salad, which was enormous. The deep fried burrata was also quite big… and truly unique and scrumptious. I could have drank the cheesy broth all night. The fried hen was nice. The black cod was as well. The sticky pudding with lime ice cream dessert was massive, but the two of us managed. Also - get the potatoes…. A great compliment to everything.

Overall great meal and awesome scenes. No dish was a disappointment. The Spicy Fried chicken was not really spicy, make sure to order an extra side of the hot sauce to dip into to get the real flavors

Lingo is a must dine. Every dish is well throughout from the flavors to the execution. Ordered almost the whole menu and everything was incredible. The service and atmosphere of Lingo is warm and it feels like you’ve been there before even if it’s your first time.

Fantastic dining experience. Lingo does an amazing job of fusing Japanese and American food. Cocktails also reflect the cuisine and are inventive and balanced. Appetizers are the perfect influence of Japanese flavors on American dishes. For example, the burrata is crusted beatifully in panko with a dashi sauce. The steak tartare and uni on bone marrow is decadent but mellowed out by the nori. The uni pairs well with the nori. The hamachi sashimi with dashi jelly has a unique flavor and texture that was one of my favorites.The smokey tamago sando is a ramen egg salad sandwich that is easy to eat and extremely tasty.The crescent duck entree is excellent. Duck prepared two ways… roasted duck breast and a duck leg croquette.The lingo beef pie utilizes a Japanese curry in a beef pot pie format. Rich and hearty. Refined Japanese comfort food!Deserts trending toward the lighter side and are a must have. The condensed milk panda cotta and white peaches and cream mille feuille are highly recommended.Our server Jacob was attentive and helpful with suggestions. Thank you!

A delicious discovery! Unique cocktail combinations, well-curated wine list, nice modern atmosphere and attentive, friendly service. Most delicious dish: the crispy potato mille-feuille squares served with briny-salty dashi cream topped on one half with tobbiko caviar, the other in chives. Also loved the smoked tamago sando with marinated ramen egg salad, cut into three crustless squares, the savory egg custard with scallop and rock shrimp served in a pottery cup, and the curried beef pie with bone marrow baked into the center of its crust. We picked every bit of crust we could from the outer edges. Very memorably delicious experience.

We have not seen a better blend of cuisines than we saw tonight at Lingo. This is not fusion. It’s a harmony of different cultures in a mellow setting at an affordable price. We will be going back!
It is a small and unique fusion Japanese restaurant.LINGO BEEF PIE, it's beef pie. It's so delicious when eaten soaked with the bread we ordered together, and it's fantastic with a glass of wine.CRISPY CAULIFLOWER, white brucoli. The seasoning was a little bit of Kkanpunggi sauce with a hint of Japanese pickled ginger... Oh~??????I ordered HOKKAIDO MILK BREAD... I ordered this to eat with beef pie! So delicious potato bread??Everything was really delicious!andI ordered a special dessert that wasn't on the menu... Sour, refreshing and sweet, it cleanses your mouth properly...(My friend who went with me likes the Chinese style soup... but he said it's not delicious! Please note)If you like Japanese-French fusion, this is perfect??????

So much changes lately in Greenpoint with such many of these restaurants filled with creations that brings food industry to a whole new level. Friendly and attentive service, food is good and I like it as a place the noise level is just right.

Incredible service and a lovely atmosphere. Food was very solid. I enjoyed the milk bread with miso butter and the octopus carpaccio the most. The chawanmushi was also nice. The beef stew pot pie was a bit too sweet for a savory dish for my liking. We also had the cauliflower, potatoes, and sando. Prepared with a lot of love and expertise. Very good.
