Chef Emily Yuen, who has worked around the world in classic kitchens like La Gavroche, now runs the show at this Greenpoint restaurant. Lingo, which means "apple" in Japanese, is an homage to American and European comfort food with elegantly blended Japanese influences. Here, chawanmushi is dressed up with rock shrimp, scallop tartare, bisque foam, and sea grapes for a delightful cultural collision. Roasted bone marrow steak tartare is unctuous and savory with creamy, nutty tones from black sesame but perhaps the best example of Lingo's unique style is their beef pie. Made with Hokkaido-style braised beef curry, this oval pie with a golden pastry crust is a beautiful riff on the classic.
