Lingo - City of London,Westminster

This is a charming little restaurant that only seats 12 people. The interior is intimate, well-lit, and tastefully decorated. I had the meat teriyaki dish, which was absolutely delicious. I make sure to visit this restaurant at least once every time I am in London. Update: There is now a section downstairs that can accommodate more people. Also, the restaurant's name has changed from Lingo to Nala. The menu remains the same, and the food is still excellent in 2019. However, due to some language difficulties, the waitress misunderstood my order and brought me a Bento box instead of my beloved beef teriyaki. Unfortunately, the Bento box had very little beef teriyaki and many other items that I did not enjoy. The restaurant kindly reduced my bill by £3, but I left feeling hungry.

This is a very small restaurant with a very intimate environment and a real taste of japan. perfect place for a date after which you can wonder around streets in soho. a dessert is a must.

This is a traditional Japanese restaurant perfected in traditional Japanese food. very friendly atmosphere and a very good location. enjoy the experience, a friday dinner in this amazing restaurant. keep the great service on!

On Saturday, we spent the day in the office, which was not very exciting. By late afternoon, we were done with our work and hungry since we hadn't eaten since breakfast. Around 4 o'clock, we went to Soho with the intention of treating ourselves to sushi at Kulu Kulu, only to find out that they didn't open until 5 o'clock. Luckily, Lingo was open nearby, so we walked in and sat down. The service was a bit slow, but we had the place to ourselves, creating a nice, quiet atmosphere. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, including a seaweed salad with a delicious dressing.

I ordered the Seafood Ramen at this restaurant, but was disappointed with the experience. The seafood was overcooked and seemed to be just Tesco Frozen Seafood from a bag. The bamboo shoots tasted like the packaged ones from the supermarket, and the half eggs were cold and overcooked. The noodles were not homemade, but also not the quality I expected - they seemed like the pot noodles you can buy at a Japanese supermarket. This was the worst Japanese food I have ever had. If the restaurant doesn't know how to prepare it properly, they should not include it on their menu.
