A special dinner was planned with a large group of VVIPs and Longrain lived up to its reputation. The service was expert and friendly. The food was so hot and tasty I loved every mouthful even though I needed a bottle of water to myself. Sour orange curry was amazing.

Seems like Longrain has been around forever, but it never feels that way when you walk inside. Always great food and cocktails, as well as that feeling that you are going to be in for a treat as soon as you sit down. Go there for fun and nice food and try not to worry about the price, because it... More

Very nice restaurant, we ordered 4 cocktails only 1 was nice. Food was quite pricey and not that special. Ordered 3 entrees, entrees were nice, 5 mains for 4 people to share which was ok.

Although you can't book we've only been early in the week and haven't had trouble getting a table. There's a great bar downstairs to wait in though if there's nothing available. The food is delicious - the highlights for us the filled eggnet and the silken tofu... not usually a fan of tofu but this is amazing. Service good but... More

Professional staff, wonderful space. A sydney classic. Deserts are worth saving some room for. Tip - if there are 3 or 4 of you dont sit at the big communal tables - they are too wide to talk across without yelling. Ask for the tables in the old bar area on the left.

Food took a long time, this is a big problem as we had only a 2 hour allocated time limit. Food and service was average considering pricing was of high end. I don't mind paying high end prices, but I expect high end food and service.

This restaurant is by far my favourite restaurant in the world. I have dined here with work colleagues multiple times, my teenage son, and by myself; and every visit has been a memorable one. I cannot speak highly enough of this place. I tell everyone I can that they need to try Longrain, and everyone I know who has, comes... More

Loved this restaurant. Started our evening in the cool cocktail lounge downstairs, drinks were delicious and service attentive. Dinner was amazing, started with the duck and rice cake entree which was a mouthwatering medley of flavours and textures. Had the caramelised pork hock and sour orange curry for mains, both were exemplary and delicious fusions of flavour. Shared a 'layered... More

Have been wanting to visit this place for a while... but it is a bit pricey. Eventually went - and can't complain. Loved it. Food was delicious and very interesting... nothing traditional here... everything is unique and has it's own twist. Lot's of delicious cold dishes too. The cocktails are also very worth the visit.

I love Longrain and this review is long overdue. Have been there many times. Their booking process can be a little complicated (can book at certain times, other times you will have to get there early to secure a table etc) but it is worth it! One of the best cocktails I've ever had was from Longrain - the Soho... More
