Whoa! First time here at Lingo Thai Eatery. Truthfully, I was not in the mood for Thai, but I was so delighted eating here, I did not mind at all! We started offing from their lunch menu (their dinner menu has different offerings, as they bring in more chefs for dinner) with an order of samosas - crusty shell and moist potatoes seasoned just right, and the coconut curry which had a good balance of sweetness and a bit of spice was delicious! My wife and I shared a Lamb Shank Massaman (that was one thick shank of lamb!) while my daughter, who was famished, ordered the Steak and Eggs! The lamb was tender and juicy, while the sweetness of the curry enhanced the lamb. I enjoyed the crispy vegetables inside the curry - the medley of potatoes and carrots were crisp on the outside and so tender on the inside , and the crunch added a nice texture to the meal. I noticed that the seasoning included star anise. As much as I stay away from anise, there was no licorice taste at all. Rather, the spice blended well within the tasty curry. Bravo! My daughter did well in eating those steak and eggs! The steak was tender and served medium rare. The "medley" of potatoes as listed in the menu, however, were steak fries instead. My daughter did not mind, but for those expecting a medley of different colored potatoes may be disappointed. The steak fries, were, however, excellent! Most likely double-fried, they were extra crispy on the outside, and steaming hot on the inside! Delicious! The eggs, served however one specifies, consists of three eggs, scrambled, but formed in a nice solid brick, with all of the fluffiness and delicate-ness of a cotton ball - just so yummy! Wow! Kudos given here! We were absolutely stuffed by the end of the meal. The waitperson, I assume was the owner, was bright and cheerful, and throughout the meal was very attentive and helpful. Thai curry, yes, but a very unique and tasty Thai curry without the excessive spiciness one may expect. I cannot wait to come back to try their dinner menu! Highly recommended!

Thai fusion brunch. I'd probably come back to try their dinner option. I got their crab scramble. The scramble egg was just okay, sauce wasn't memorable either. I did really like the medley potatoes though. We had asked for them to make the dish spicy, the waitress said it was doable, but there was nothing spicy on my plate at all. I noticed afterward (while leaving) that they actually have Tabasco sauce as condiment. Not sure why they didn't offer us that. With that said, the meal did fill me up. It just feels like something is missing in the flavor. Maybe I just had the wrong expectation - I thought there would be more Thai flavor in the dishes.

Came by for lunch the other day and it was a tasty experience. Lungo Thai Eatery is located inside a strip mall, in between Walgreens and Smart and Final on El Camino and Grant, across from BMW of Mountain View. Parking was plentiful in the private strip mall lot. Lungo serves Thai-American brunch and Thai-American dishes. Started off with their signature pad thai crispy tiger prawns and it was quite tasty. The prawns were gigantic and plentiful. The pad thai itself was Americanized and quite sweet, unlike the traditional Thai version. Moved on the samosas and they were decent. The lamb shank curry was tasty as this was served with a zesty hot roti. The lamb shank seemed to be reheated as parts of it were still cool. Most of the lamb shank was quite tender though. The curry was tasty too. Ended off the meal with the mango sticky rice which was decent. The mangos aren't as flavorful as the ones found in Thailand. ~$40/head after tax and gratuity for lunch.

I went for Sunday brunch with a friend right before 11 am. We were seated right away and didn't have a reservation. The servers were attentive and quick and we finished eating in less than an hour. Both of us ordered the chicken satay Benedict for $24, and it was amazing. Definitely the star of the show, and I would go back specifically for this dish. The peanut sauce went very well and it didn't feel as heavy as a normal hollandaise sauce. My friend and I wished they gave more of it or even offered a small cup to dip into. The side of potatoes were also delicious, crispy in the outside and soft on the inside. I'm not sure if any of the other dishes are as good as this Benedict. Most of the other items looked pretty standard. The prices are a little on the average to more expensive side. It's a very spacious restaurant that can fit a good amount of people. The air conditioning was a little strong, so bring a jacket.

I came for brunch with my wife. The inside was mostly full due to us coming at 11. At 11 they serve both brunch and lunch which is nice. But I was more excited by the brunch. The prices are quite high. But the portion was pretty good. I ordered the satay chicken benedict. I asked for spicy too. The flavor was very interesting, the egg plus peanut satay was a nice combo. Their potatoes are also very soft! Really liked those. Chicken was decently tender and biscuit was flavorful. Would come again but price was quite high. Can't give a 5*.

Such a cute place for a Thai-style brunch. I've been to places like Sweet Maple and Farmhouse Thai and I was just glad not to have to wait in a long line for a brunch. We were seated immediately and got our order in and food delivered in efficient time. We got a mix of brunch and lunch. The food was tasty, the only comment from my family is that the red curry could've been stronger. The waitresses were friendly, but there were just the 2 of them for the whole restaurant. They came by every time I waved them but they were always busy with something. All-in-all, solid place and we finished everything!

Delicious but kind of pricy. Rice wasn't included with the curry order, but I loved how the beef wasn't dry and hard like in a lot of curries. I'd say the pad thai was pretty regular. I want to come back to try their brunch since that's seems to be more of what they're known for. The restaurant is spacious and the staff were super welcoming.

My friend found this place and we were intrigued by the concept of the Thai fusion brunch! It is located in the shopping plaza with Smart n Final and Nijiya. They have tables for big groups. We tried: Chicken Satay Benedict- yummy and moist satay style chicken with your typical eggs benedict and hollandaise sauce. Done very well. I appreciate when places serve the side of potatoes using the rainbow ones- the purple, regular, and sweet. That extra detail always adds more for me. Banana Tub Pancake- 3 or 4 ricotta pancakes with a caramelized banana and palm sugar/coconut syrup. These were good. I think I prefer regular maple syrup with my pancakes instead of the palm sugar/coconut syrup though. Lungo Fries- steak fries with melted cheese and peanut sauce. Pretty good, never had fries with peanut sauce before, but now I'm thinking, why haven't I??? It's yummy ! They are family friendly and their kid's brunch menu is a pancake with eggs and bacon $12. My friends tried: Massaman Lamb Shank (see pic, very impressive looking)- super tender, almost drinkable and delicious curry sauce Crabby Omelette- real crab ! Apparently the green sauce that comes with this is amazing (per my friend) Lungo benedict (pork jowl!)- you don't see pork jowl being offered with an eggs benedict like... ever! The table by us ordered the whole crispy branzino which I was very tempted to get, but we restrained ourselves. Overall very good. Pricey but consistent with Bay Area brunch places. I would like to come back to try their standard Thai food too. Their grand opening is next week and they hope to offer alcohol later. Hope this place does well!!

Papaya salad 5/5 - good flavor and all the toppings made the salad very yummy. Just wish there was more! Pad see ew 5/5 - standard pad see ew Green curry 4/5 - I wish curry dishes come with rice because how do people eat curry without any rice. Still delicious and the eggplant was a nice touch Overall good food and service. Portions are a bit small

This is a new eatery and I came for the lamb shank massaman. It was a slow braised lamb shank in a thick creamy sauce made with cinnamon, anise, and cashews. Perfect with the roti for my son. The rainbow colored potatoes tasted more buttery than regular russet potatoes. It was a tasty dish and the lamb was soft but not mushy. We arrived just after 11 am so it wasn't busy. We were seated right away. Wings were a great starter. Pad see ew was good but it wasn't a huge serving, something you would've gotten really excited about. The place is nice and clean and newly decorated.

My husband and I stopped by for brunch today and we were warmly welcomed at the door. I immediately noticed the beautiful and thoughtful decor. It somehow felt trendy, but home-y at the same time. The menu had some great options and we decided on the crab omelette and the steak and eggs. Before the food even came out, my husband and I were already planning excuses to come back. I mentioned this would be a great place for a birthday dinner. Their lunch menu looked really good too. When the food came out, it was very beautifully plated and delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection. The tricolored potatoes were nice and crispy and the omelette was evenly cooked and flavorful. Oh, and the green sauce that came with it was so good! I want to know what it is! My husband enjoyed his steak and eggs too(they give you 3 eggs here which I feel like is more than they give you elsewhere). Our server was very friendly and checked in on us regularly. We're excited to come back and see what else they have to offer(we noticed a bar and would love to see their drink offerings when it's ready). Definitely check this place out because I feel like it can be easy to miss out on!!

Cool Thai breakfast concept while also serving elevated modern non-breakfast Thai dishes! For breakfast menu items, my boyfriend and I tried the Satay Chicken Benedict, Pancake Banana Tub, Wedge Salad, and Lungo Fries. The star of the breakfast items and the entire meal was the Satay Chicken Benedict. The Satay flavor was strong, the chicken and egg was cooked to perfection, and the flavors meshed so well. The banana pancakes were light and not overly sweet which I appreciated. I loved the fries themselves in the lungo fries which were thick steak fries, but I found the peanut sauce to be slightly too sweet and overpowering; I think a smaller amount of sauce would be more ideal. The wedge salad was refreshing & great if you love blue cheese (which I unfortunately do not). After 11AM, they also serve regular Thai dishes, so we had the yellow chicken curry and Pad Thai with Crispy Tiger Prawns. The yellow curry was delicious but a bit too sweet. I enjoyed the tiger prawns in the Pad Thai, but I also found the sauce to be too sweet. Overall, the food here is very well prepared and uniquely crafted, but a common issue I noticed was the sweetness of some dishes. The place itself looks super modern and clean, with ambient lighting and even a bar. Service was very attentive and kind. Definitely a nice spot to bring friends or family!

Youngest took us here to celebrate Father's Day. Was a spur of the moment thing given we are having dinner with all the kids but she wanted to do something special so we came here for brunch. AND I'm SO HAPPY we did. Luckily it wasn't too busy and we were able to get seated. Service is pretty nice and even though they were full with only a few empty tables, there was only 2 servers who was taking orders and bringing food to everyone and making the drinks. So it was a little wait but they are so nice and attentive when they can it was fine. First thing I have to mention is their adorable plates. All different with different flowers. Really set the mood and it was cozy and adorable. Had to take pics of the plates :) We went family style (again cause we are planning a big dinner later) and started with the Lungo Greens which is mixed greens with house dressing. I forgot to ask for dressing on the side so it came fully dressed. BUT we were okay with it as the house dressing is blue cheese dressing. NOT what we were expecting for a thai place. But it comes with a delicious warm bread which is an excellent accompaniment with the salad. Great way to start our food adventure! We then got the Lungo Benedict which has a special chili paste hollandaise with grilled pork jowl. The pork jowl was so tender and was delicious. And I LOVE that the hollandaise was sparse cause there was this special chili paste that added so much flavor to the whole dish and of course with the perfectly poached egg that broke and gave perfect creaminess. The English muffin was toasted and crispy which gave great texture. We got it with their potatoes which were AMAZING. Different kinds of potatoes that are not greasy - crispy on the outside and so light and fluffy on the inside... Not sure how they do it - with no flavoring so you really enjoy the potato taste which is even better when you use their chili paste and hollandaise sauce. Perfect potato bites!! We also got the Satay Chicken Panini that we ordered with salad and it's the same salad as the Lungo Greens so we were VERY happy. The Satay Chicken was tender, juicy and so flavorful. They do NOT skip on that peanut flavor - it was SO GOOD. They don't put the ajard into the sandwich - it's skewered on top of the sandwich. I do wish they provided more of the ajard but even without it the sandwich was so good. They use a wheat ciabatta? And it's crispy and yet soft - easy to eat. SO MUCH flavor. Just these three dishes we were stuffed. Cleaned all the plates. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes. I was eyeing the griddle and definitely want to try their crabby crab scramble.... And they have a different dinner menu so will have to try that as well. ADORABLE neighborhood addition with delicious Thai food, excellent service and great atmosphere.
