Everything here was so well executed from the betel leaves at the beginning to my flaming rum cocktail at the end. Service was welcoming & attentive but not overbearing, make sure you get the pork hock & the tofu. Delicious!!

Have been coming to Longrain for 10 years, each time love the cocktails, and range and taste of the food. If you have a bigger group try and get the separate dining room - the foods the same, but the experience, especially for interstate guests is amazing.

So far everything we have tried on the menu is great - the cocktails here are particularly good as well. Give one of the curries ago, they are pleasantly different to what you normally would get elsewhere. Its really the kind of place you want to keep going back to until you have tried everything.

But we could only go on Sunday night... Early August. The greetingn was cold, Sunday night "we close early... " It wasn't even 9pm yet? We wanted a cocktail first after a long trip from WA and were the only people in the bar downstairs... A bit tragic.. The bartender didn't really know how the make the well known cocktail... More

Longrain is one of those rare restaurants that has been able to stay fresh and relevant in the busy fickle Sydney restaurant scene. The food is absolutely spectacular with a large range of dishes and they all have such depth of flavour and complexity without being overwhelming. As well as enjoying the wonderful savoury dishes, try to save room for... More

we were in a room as it was a farewell to a colleague. The service good, the food fantastic - light and flavoursome. Shame it was that expensive.

Great Thai food should not need a bar, and the mixture loses some of the experience for me. Focus on the good food.

Visited last Friday night after thinking that Longrain was a must do. To be honest I was quite disappointed after reading all of the TA reviews. The service was very avaerage and far from friendly. The food was fresh and flavoursome, but is definately over priced. The Yellow Curry with Barossa Chicken was delicious and the fried eggnoodles gave it... More
