We enjoyed our dinner at Ling & Louie's. Had miso soup starter, 2 sushi rolls, and a crispy tofu dish. The best item was - without a doubt - the crispy spinach side with our meal. Fantastic ... never had anything like it before. Service was great and atmosphere was cool for an evening out.

Their online ordering doesn t work. Placed an order got a confirmation. Showed up at restaurant. Waited 10 minutes for bartender to help us. They had no record of the order. Very disappointing. How about offering a gift card for free entree next time ?? Nope.

Had lunch here with my 10 yr old son. What a great place. Good food and even better service. My son is gluten intolerant so it's not always easy, but this place has a gluten free menu and the staff made a second special meal for him when we found the first one was too spicy at no extra charge! They seem to know that the customer is their most iimportant asset. I had the evil jungle Princess with shrimp very good. I recently spent a week in Hong Kong so my standards have risen to a much higher (and perhaps unrealistic ) level. This place delivers the goods and is much better than the competition. Everyone on staff here was helpful and courteous . We will definitely be back! Thank you Ling, Louie and Jamie and everybody else here.

Friendly service, casual dining, reasonable prices, and many great tasting options on the menu. The Drunken Shrimp, Seafood Hot Pot, and Mussels are fantastic. Would definitely go back and try other items.

Went in for Easter Brunch- food was awesome despite a power outage beyond their control, they saved the day. We enjoyed everything, ranging from prime rib and ham to omelettes, waffles, fruit and I had a really good croissant (still thinking about it - seriously the best one I have ever had, and I am a carb addict).

My biggest issue was not the food, the staff, or anything like that but the RUDE PEOPLE! There were 2 Easter egg hunts scheduled for 11 and 1 for kids.

The parents of 3 older kids (I would guess ages 9-12 or 13) obviously didn't give a care about ANYone else, because they let their 3 bratty kids run everywhere and take all of the eggs BEFORE THE HUNT STARTED. I mean, these kids cleaned house in 2 seconds flat. When the Manager or Owner (not sure who) brought the nice, big easter baskets around to pick up eggs with (and keep) they snatched them.

The poor little kids had zero chance... so then the Easter Bunny (kudos to the guy in the hot bunny suit, it was the best bunny suit I have seen and had to be warm), owner, and staff had to try to slyly hide more eggs because apparently 70 eggs per spoiled brat child at that corner booth were not enough. (I noticed all this because I was directly across from them).

The Bunny brought us two baskets filled with eggs and goodies in them.

It reminded me of that news story where the parents went nuts at the egg hunt. This was the bratty kid version! Way to uphold the "Bratty Scottsdale attitude" perception people have - it's because of people like you!

So my disappointment has NOTHING to do with food, drinks, or service, but more of the poor attitudes and manners of both parents and kids I saw running rampant. They really give meaning to the generalization of "Entitled Scottsdale" which really isn't true. But thanks for embodying that nasty perception, moms and dads -- your kids had zero manners and that's a direct reflection on you. Yeah, you. I heard you complaining about dumb stuff, LOL. The people behind me were annoyed they had to wait 7 minutes for a freshly made Belgian Waffle and an Omelette with like 72 ingredients (seriously the guy wouldn't stop adding stuff to this omelette order).

For $49 per adult and only $15 for a kid, including brunch, bottomless mimosas, 2 easter egg hunts including easter baskets AND the Easter Bunny walking around and taking photos (oh and giving out gifts, little bracelets, mazes, fuzzy chicks, stickers, tattoos... my kids were THRILLED), I think these snotty people would have been better off paying the $119 the Phoenician was charging and $55 for a 3 year old! lol.

TBH, the people watching was something else... I'm not sure what people expect for a brunch. I'm sure for $119 they are serving gold bars straight up at the Phoenician. :P

I'll be back B&B, just wish that guests had better manners. I truly feel bad for people in the service industry many times. People are just plain jerks. I've been on both sides of the card - as the guest and as a server - and sometimes I guess you just can't please anyone. The bratty parents' and bratty guests next to me were the only downside to my experience.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. We received the wrong order, after we got home, my husband returned to the restaurant and the manger Tyler was so rude and disrespectful and wouldn't fix a simple solution. We will never return to this horrible neighborhood restaurant ever again. I don't know if he's the owner's son, cousin or whatever, but nobody is worth having an abusive idiot like that working in the hospitality business.

One of our new favorite restaurants Scottsdale. Great atmosphere, great drinks, very friendly staff. Our favorite drink is their Moscow Mule. Food is amazing and not terribly expensive. We usually start with the tuna sliders or the short rib sliders which are incredible. Then split the french dip and philly wrap w/ chicken. You won't be disappointed.

Bartender was slow, rude & mean to the servers...was so wrapped up in her own little drama world she didn't even notice new people waiting for pick up orders at the bar for at least 10 minutes...if you don't want to be there working....go home.

The food, decor and staff here are amazing! It really has the presence of an upscale classy restaurant with a local touch. The food and drinks are locally sourced and the quality is better than what you would expect for the price range. The owners, Lexie and Matt, are really genuine people who listen to your feedback and go out of their way so you have a pleasant experience. Try the Upscale Burger, you cant get anything like this anywhere else!

First time here for dinner. Will be my last. The salmon was nice and flaky on top, but under-cooked on the bottom. I could have picked a bag of vegetables and couscous that accompanied it. The grilled brussel sprouts pictured on their web would have lifted the meal up!

We had an amazing dinner this evening! We started off on a bad foot at Jade s Palace across the street and this was the closest Chinese restaurant so we came over here. We are so glad we found this place! Bobby was our server and he went above and beyond for us! He was so personable, next time we visit we will be asking for him. The food was so good as well! I had the Honey Walnut and my boyfriend had chicken fried rice. To start we had crab wontons and the best part is that they have happy hour all day Saturday and Sunday!! We will be back!!!

Their outdoor area was recently remodeled and it's great! The food here is really good and they are pretty open to making changes to certain dishes (IE grilled chicken instead of crispy chicken). The service is wonderful and the price is right.

Just not a good overall experience. Chicken was over cooked and had a bone in it still (ordered the honey chicken). Also, drinks and food took ages to arrive and our waters were neglected on the table. Food was decent but nothing to write home about. Look elsewhere.

2nd time at Black & Blue this summer and once again two items on the "NEW" menu are not available! I understand you can run out of a certain beer or a steak has been sold out, but how do you run out of french fries and the same summer beer twice on two separate occasions within a month? It isn't because it's peak season, because if it where why would you block off half of the restaurant?
We would come in monthly to support a "local" establishment because the food was absolutely outstanding! Sooooo.... what has happened to this promising restaurant? Did you sell to a new buyer with absolutely no knowledge of running a great restaurant, or did the existing owner once again forget to order french fries to go with the awesome burgers???
Needless to say when my wife allows me to eat a burger I do not order that said burger with a side of fricken fruit! Unfortunately another promising establishment that is heading south in North Scottsdale... I hope you don't ruin Salt and Lime also!

I have been to Ling and louie's numerous times over the past few months. I think their food is way better than PF Changs. however, their customer service is why I continue to come back. Dave Manahl, the manager, is absolutely great. Not only did he fix my friend's order immediately after it came out too spicy, but he also gave us a discount for the inconvenience. That shows this place actually cares about the value of customer retention.
Thanks Dave. Great Food, Great Atmosphere, and reasonable prices.

Delicious Asian Fusion cuisine. Highly recommend the Crab crunch roll and the Pad Thai. They also have a full bar with an interesting selection of cocktails and beer. Great for happy hour after work or a quick lunch during the week.

I like this restaurant, food is good, wait staff usually nice. the only problem that I find, and it is a big problem for me, is that the wait staff constantly is coming over asking if youd like to order anything more. It's not a place where you can go with a friend, order a drink and casually chat because the wait staff will be coming over every few minutes asking if youd like to order some food. I mean coming over allll the time. I have gotten the feeling they want high turn over, they want you to eat and drink quickly. It's happened every time I've been there, more than 3 times. One time it was so bad. So I dont recommend Ling &Louie's for this reason. If I want to meet a friend, eat drink chat, I dont want to be obliged to order and order, i want to be able to relax.

I can't say enough about this place or it's ownership and management team. Aside from having outstanding food and service they are also locally owned and support the community. My wife and I have been patrons for years and sent my daughter there to apply for work because it was clear that this was a great place ran by great people. It was the best decision my daughter made. She has been with them for nearly 2 years now. They have been nothing but supportive of her even going as far to recognize her and another co-worker and their families for a private high school graduation celebration in their restaurant before business hours. They treated the families to a nice a lunch and took the time to recognize the girls and their accomplishments before heading off to college. This was right after being closed for 2 months. We were blown away by the act of kindness and generosity. Needless to say this is an amazing place with even more amazing owners/management. If they had a 10 star rating it still wouldn't be a high enough rating.
