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

More like a fusion Thai food rather than authentic thai restaurant. Prepare for the long queue and expensive food. Overall a worth place to visit for once in a while only.

Very authentic food - no pad Thai here! A great cocktail lounge downstairs but not really in to the long sharing tables for dining.

We went to longrain as a group of five. We had a spacious table and ordered five main dishes plus a green papaya salad. This turned out to be plenty of food for us. The food was fantastic - stand outs for me were the orange curry - tangy and sour - and the tuna for its wonderful betel leaves... More

My favourite restaurant in Sydney - I have been multiple times, eating in both the bar and the main restaurant. The bar is great for a group of friends - share the big cocktails and some nibbles. Resty is great for taking parents, or going for a big eat!

You will probably have to wait for a table at Longrain but head downstairs for a cocktail and the time will pass by very quickly! They have one of the most impressive selections in Sydney and every one that I've tried (more than I should probably admit) has been delicious! The food is fantastic and the restaurant doesn't seem to... More

I'm sure longrain used to be fantastic, the in place to go, but the sad news is it's past that now. The food was average and for the sort of money you're paying rather disappointing. Even more so when your waiter forgets you're even there until you have to actually go find him. Still can't fault the drinks in the... More

We were really pleased to stumble across Longrain. We sat up at the bar to eat, and relished the food -so full of flavour. It was so good we shared a dessert something we don't usually allow ourselves to do, and it was worth it. Our waiter was superb, giving advice about what to order . This was a special... More

As a party of four we waited 2 hrs in the downstairs bar until we got seated, so had a very late start to dinner. Cocktails in the bar were fabulous and their bar bites nice too. The main dissapointment in our shared meal was the green chicken curry - not a hint of breast or thigh meat - mostly... More
