Haven’t been to this place for ages!!! We had the room upstairs, it was incredible. Perfect for special events with large group of people. We had the set menu. I will definitely come back again .. Really had a great time here

Awesome dining experience in the newly resurrected Longrain. It’s a huge open space with high ceilings, raised bar seating and tables all well spaced out. There’s even a fabulous cocktail bar upstairs serving unique drinks with SE Asian snacks. The service was superb from start to finish - there wasn’t a single moment where we were left wanting. The food was simply sensational- every single dish was perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. The famous egg-net was amazing! Overall a really excellent Saturday night out in the city with visiting interstate friends.

its thai cuisine.. but next level! large modern and rustic space, great for groups or even that special date night with your significant other. - just make sure you book ahead! if its your first time the Banquet is a sure winner! serving a variety of their best! it will surely please everyone cocktails are to boot too!

@longrainmelbourne 📍CBD ⭐️ Betel Leaf, Seared Scallop ✔️ BBQ Chicken Skewer ✔️ Chargrilled Wagyu Beef Skewer, Cashew Nut Cream ➖ Stir Fried Calamari ✖️ Yellow Curry, Charred Lamb Shoulder ➖ Jasmine Rice Longrain is a modern, fusion Thai restaurant located at the top end of Little Bourke Street in Melbourne’s CBD. Although originally opening in Melbourne in 2005, it was was bought by @scottpickettchef (@matilda159domain, @estellenorthcote, @chancerylanebistro) in 2020. 🇹🇭 The venue itself is huge and absolutely stunning, hues of green dressing an old converted horse stable from the 1900’s. There is a combination of private and long communal dining tables, which goes hand in hand with their share-style menu. Order A La Carte or go with a Banquet for $89pp. Cocktails were great, I loved their version of a Negroni and another popular one is their Phuket Pash. My favourite dish was the Betel Leaf with Seared Scallop, it was so flavourful and spicy! The rest of the dishes were nice but I did expect more. The BBQ Chicken Skewer had a delicious sauce but on the dry side. The Wagyu Beef Skewer was tasty, loved the Cashew Nut Sauce, I did expect pieces but it was almost like a long thin strip. The Calamari was so spicy we almost had tears in our eyes, a warning would’ve been great haha! The Yellow Curry and rice both too bland for me. If you are dining pre-theatre, they are very good at getting you in an out on time, they even had a specific 5:30pm seating and area for this. They also keep half of their dining area available for walk ins! During December Longrain are taking part of homelessness initiative DineSmart 2023, so a $2 donation is added to every bill. Relax Karen, if you don’t want to, you can opt out. 😉 My final thoughts: It’s a vibey venue, great service and menu. Execution was off this visit but I would still try again, I have visited their upstairs venue @longsong and experienced delicious food, so I know what they are capable of! ⭐️ 3.5/5 💸 $$

Went to Longgrain more than 15 years ago and Melbourne food scene is so amazing that never really clicked to go back. Really enjoyed the lunch and had the betel leaf scallops, calamari, som tum and lamb curry. All the dishes were amazing! Be back soon to try their signature fried fish dish! Yum yum!!

Great semi-fine dining restaurant that heavily influenced by South East Asian taste especially from Thailand. I would call it modern asian as the flavour profile is quite westernized. The meat dishes are cooked perfectly as it was soft while maintaining crispy crackling on the pork. The betel leaf entree is the star of the night for us as it was an explosion of flavour in our mouth. Food - 8 Service - 10 Vibe - 10 Price - $$$$

I came here with my partner last night. The food is incredible, and the staff are so personable and knowledgeable. Some highlight dishes were the wagyu tartare, jungle curry and mandarin pudding — hats off to our bartender, Tim, who made us some delicious cocktails. Thank you so much!

We were greeted so nicely by your front of house staff member and then we enjoyed the most delicious food. The beetle leaf was the highlight, although every dish was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant. All the staff were fabulous ☺️

Some dishes are a hit and miss. I’d recommend their signature fried fish. And the prawn starter. The pork hock was dry and gets sickening quickly. The papaya salad is average. Overall a good experience, I’m glad I went but I probably wouldn’t go back.

Amazing restaurant serving mostly modern Thai food. Every dish we had we absolutely loved - very rich in unique flavours. Staff were polite and very helpful

Easily one of the best restaurants in Melbourne. The food was as amazing as the service, will be back again and again.

The restaurant was pretty much full on a wet & windy Wednesday evening so we were looking forward to a hot spicy meal. A nice buzzy feel yet intimate ambience due to the darkened lighting. Service was friendly & helpful. We had the banquet menu with the addition of their deep fried fish. Overall - all dshes were OK. They tasted authentic yet somehow the fire & spice of our expectations were a little below expectations. We had a satisfactory meal overall but no wow factor.

This place has a fancy interior design and a huge window facing the lane. Those two little bites were freshing and delicious. While I recommend the crisp while fish. Its my first time having the entire fish fried on my table 🤣🤣🤣. It tastes really good.

We booked table for dinner yesterday. Amazing Hospitality + All the staffs were lovely. Place is amazing, Had a great time. Food 8/10.

I have been here many times. The food and service never disappoints. This is a fusion food done absolutely right. Incredible flavours and textures that will satisfy even the most snobby food critics. I usually try different dishes every time but I can't help to order the pork hock as one of the dishes every single time. Definitely my favourite. Service is attentive but also pretty chill. Not overly intrusive but easy to get their attention. They are all very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Price is reasonable considering the quality, so I wouldn't call it expensive. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous restaurant serving up modern Thai food in an urban industrial location. Excellent service and food, really nicely done and super impressive. Not cheap but hard to beat, especially the pork belly - every inch of it was cooked to perfection, so it was well worth ordering. Service was great too, just very friendly and capable

A great upper end Thai restaurant. Ambiance was good and service was very good and friendly. Food was delicious, and drinks menu was great. Slightly expensive for value. Almost entire menu was gluten free which was great!

Beautiful food and amazing service. I can't wait to come back to Melbourne so I can eat here again! We ordered the caramelized tofu, crab eggnet and Thai green vegetable curry and could not fault any of these dishes. My cocktail (Gin Sin?) was delicious. Loved everything about the building, the lighting and all shades of green made for a great experience...it was gorgeous.

Simply the best and most unique of modern Thai restaurants in the world. There are about four or five signature dishes and 15 season options. I'd recommend going in a larger group if it's your first time so you can try a good range of dishes.

outstanding modern Thai fusion, certainly one of the better Asian fusion restaurants in Melbourne. blown away by excellent dishes such as the filled eggnet, the pork hock, and the crispy fish. wonderful service all around as well, and we certainly enjoyed ourselves. high degrees of Thai authenticity coupled with modern interpretation and techniques. brilliant.

A Melbourne staple. Cool dining area in the CBD that was previously a horse stable back in the day. Its fairly condensed menu has you covered for Asian flavours. I really enjoyed the egg net snow crab dish which is amazing to look at and delicious to boot. We were seated at the bar since we were a random walk in and didn't have a booking, but that didn't detract in any way from the experience and we were seated almost immediately. The friendly bar staff took care of us throughout. I can recommend this place if you want something Asiany but are not sure what exactly.. their menu will show you the way.

A very nice Thai fusion restaurant, great dishes. We chose the set menu and pleasantly surprised with some very nice food especially the betel leaf prawn appetiser and deep fried red snapper (this is an optional addition). We also added the spanner crab with bean sprouts, yummy! A few of us had some interesting cocktails and the bottle of Tasmanian Pinot Gris goes very well with the dishes. Most of all the service’s great, they’re friendly and attentive. Thanks for a great evening!

Longrain continues to be amazing during COVID. The signature eggnet dish tasted as good at home delivered and put together as being at the restaurant. Absolutely addictive. If you want a tasty delicious treat for your senses, Longrain delivers everytime.

Great diversity of food with vegetarian alternatives. Good ambience and beautiful settings. Staff is friendly. Some dishes stand out though can be rather subpar compared to other similar restaurants in the city. Still highly recommended for a dining experience.

Amazing food and cocktails. Absolutely loved the service. We love thai food so much and Longrain was amazing I highly recommend. It’s a perfect place for a date night or with friends. Pre booking is essential.

Great authentic Thai food. We really enjoyed every bite. Just moved from Bangkok to Melbourne this is a nice find to have a few flashbacks. It’s a bit westernized but hey many places in Bangkok do that too. Staff was amazing. Super friendly and always spott on. Every dish was carefully explained and all the dishes are available as veggie option too. Can’t wait to go back soon.

We had bookings for Christmas Eve and noticed that the service was slightly rushed but no less attentive. The cocktails were brilliant and made us resolve to come back and visit longsong. We ordered the Bangkok Bird, the Better Martini, the Gin Sin and the Yuzu Spritz and apart from the Bangkok Bird ordered another round of all the other cocktails we had - well done mixologist! Everything in the menu looked brilliant and we ordered the Wagyu beef tartare which I thought was great but with all the spice lost the real flavour of the beef a little, paired with the crackers it was a real flavour explosion. The signature filled eggnet was superb and needs no mention. The salt and pepper silken tofu was a beautiful winner of a dish, soft crispy skin with silken wonderful tofu that slid down the palate easily. We also ordered the whole fried fish (snapper) and found that it was presented whole but was presented as individual spiced and fried fillets - I don't usually eat seafood but heartily tasted the oysters. Overall we walked away satisfied and of course will be coming back for more. Note that the prices are on the high side but well worth it.

Contemporary Thai at its best on Little Bourke. Bit further up on Little Bourke St is a neat well decorated restaurant in what it appears to be a former horse stable 🐎. As soon as you walk in, you will be in awe of the atmosphere and how well it us presented. We have spoilt ourselves with six amazing dishes which include the following: 1. Prawn in betel leaf. Amazingly fresh at first bite. 🍤 2. Charcoal chicken skewers with sweet fish sauce and Northern Thai spice. The surprise of the lot we wanted more. 🐔 3. Pumpkin curry. The daily special. I wanted more of that darn sauce because it was so darn good. The 🎃, soft and sweet mwaaah! 4. Gai Lan. Drenched in the beautiful sauce. Plus, we needed some veges to make us feel less guilty. 5. Crispy whole fish 🐟 with tamarind sauce, roast rice and lime. The star 🌟 of tonight. Crispy light batter all the way through. Beautiful sauce with the soft rice and tangy lime. Must order this dish again. 6. Sticky tamarind pudding, coconut, macerated Pineapple, pine sugar. Holy sweetness 😍 💖 ❤. All the sticky sweetness in one place. Normally I don't go to these type of restaurants but boy was I glad I got to experience and explore some amazing food. Top mark to the chefs and honourable mention to the amazing waitress who served us.

Great Food! The staff downstairs were especially lovely! The dessert was a must! The prawn curry was too salty so a miss for me. The rest was good!

Best modern fusion Thai food in Melbourne, the service also amazing... highly recommended

I love Longrain. I have been there 5-6 times. The food never fails to delight. Must-haves include the caramelised pork hock, oysters and the scallops/crab in betel leaves. Superb every time. 👌

I’ve never had a restaurant deliver mouldy food before but there’s a first for everything. Update: I appreciate Longrain offering a refund and investigating with their suppliers.

Brilliant, Thai revitalised! The fact I went in without realising it was a Thai restaurant... Mind-blowing! Fantastic experience and service across the board, as we were hosting a big group function. Each dish came out in timely fashion, and there was a wide selection to choose from. The alternate dish I had - Chicken Thai Curry had an excellent balance of spice and fragrance. Oysters are a must try too! 5/5 for service and price. Great venue for corporate functions.

Having visited Longrain restaurant several times, I can confidently say that the food has never disappointed me. One standout dish that I highly recommend is the "eggnet" which not only impresses with its presentation but also delivers on taste. Another highlight at Longrain is the crispy whole fish. The perfectly cooked fish with its crispy exterior is a testament to the kitchen's skill.

From the first reception to the the last drink, we were made to feel important. I felt like I had staff attention without even asking, especially the maitre d, who was super friendly and checked in with us all evening without being intrusive. I can't say enough good things about our night. Sat at the bar as a couple and enjoyed being in the midst of the place but still having time and space to ourselves. Great night. Great food.

It’s been a couple of years between visits and the first impression they made upon arrival was abysmal. No one to greet you as you enter the restaurant so I loitered for a bit before tentatively venturing in. By the time someone appeared they attempted to unlock the iPad to find my reservation but didn’t know the passcode so off they went to find someone to advise and returned to try again. This happened a further three times asking different people for the code on each trip before they eventually managed to unlock it (after accidentally setting it to camera mode and me helpfully advising how to turn it off). At this stage quite a queue had formed behind me and it struck me as quite clunky and unprofessional. The bill came to around $115 a head for the banquet and two bottles of wine which is probably not too bad (if you are drinking the wine which I wasn’t but $89 for the food given we added the egg net) and I appreciated the way they made adjustments to the menu as typically when it’s a set menu I eat around my food requirements/preferences but when I advised them I didn’t eat oysters or pork they accommodated with different dishes that they accommodated the pescatarian and vegetarian with. As we were a group of 8 the set menu was obligatory. As per my memory of the last visit the food is largely on the hot side but this was more my preferred spice level and absolutely delicious. Previously you could never book a table so I don’t know if this change was because it was a Tuesday night, we were a large group or due to covid but regardless it’s far more convenient. Update My friend and I found ourselves at Longrain again but were sad to see it’s no longer in the entertainment book (which I should stop buying as I have not used it once). This is maybe the only hatted restaurant where you actually feel really full after. They don’t take bookings and you sit on communal tables but it is defintely worth it for this delicious modern Thai. Penang curry was a tad hot luckily the cocktails are a pure delight (not to mention rather lethal) and the list is super-extensive. Order the banana leaf salmon. Do it Original review Longrain is one of my friends favourite restaurants and whenever she is in town from interstate we tend to pay a visit. At over ten years old it was doing Asian fusion before all of the rest of Melbourne jumped on the bandwagon and it is still so iconic today that you will inevitably be waiting for a table regardless of what day it is. I don't mind the wait so much as it has become a bit of a tradition for us to sip on a cocktail as we linger praying for someone to leave. Cocktail wise I favour the sweet fruitiness of the ping pong while my dining companion sticks to the freshness of the caiprioska. Both very tasty. I love the atmosphere which perfectly suits a special occasion or date night but works equally well for a dinner with friends (if you're friends are willing to spend up big on Thai that is). The egg net is kind of obligatory but I personally adore the king prawns and the coconut poached chicken. So much delicious flavour it's actually insane. Do ask the waiters regarding the spice level of your chosen dishes if you can't tolerate a lot of heat because the food does tend to pack a punch (just order more cocktails). A beautiful space, seamless service and an electric atmosphere

This place was 11/10. Took my partner here for his birthday as he loves Thai cuisine and this place offers the flavors perfectly. We ordered the oysters and scallops to start which were an amazing start to the night. We would order the scallops over and over if we could. We also got the beef wagyu tartare, egg net spanned crab, lamb ribs, pork belly and gai lan. The only downside was the spanned crab was more a salad and a bit stingy on the crab. Cocktails were amazing and would always recommend this place!!

Thai food catered for Western palate. Overall the food was delicious but I have had authentic Thai food in Thailand and it was never this sweet. Most dishes had sugar added but not enough spice. Kids liked it though. The atmosphere and service was fantastic. We tried lots of dishes. Betle leaf scallops, pork belly, lamb ribs and prawns was a favourite. I would also highly recommend the yuzu dessert and strawberry sorbet. It was very refreshing and a great way to finish the meal.

Beautiful sensory experience for tastebuds. Felt like I travelled to up class Thailand. Waiters were helpful and polite. Restaurant is spacious and comfy. Washroom was a bit cram and dark though.

Came here for Friday lunch. Great customer service and yummy meals. Has plenty of good vegan options and the waitress was very kind to explain them to us.

Highly recommended place on a weekday. Went here on a wednesday eve right before seeing a show at her majesty's theatre. Banquet is the best option if it's your first time. Highly recommend the somtam salad. You can ask to make the spice to a mild level if you have low tolerance for spicy food. Nice interior decor as well as fixings. A nice touch on the coat rack that is placed near your table instead of a central location. 10/10 will definitely come back

Such great food and drinks!! Was able to walk in for 4 people on a Saturday night which was so good. Every dish was so flavourful and well balanced, especially the chicken skewers and coconut chicken. But highlight of the meal was definitely the ice creams (coconut and Thai milk tea). It was incredibly smooth and the flavour just punches you in the face with how intensely amazing it was.

Another banquet $85pp booking is getting harder so do book in advance , common to see it fully Book and the options for their other locations pop up so don’t get confused . Overall the food quality was fanatic , staff very friendly , we had a birthday they held our cake in the fridge and lighted the candles for us . Overall great night . Heads up Zero parking so you will need go Up one block to find a park .

Insta: markandelly_eats 📍Longrain, Melbourne I've been to most of the asian fusion restaurants in Melbourne and I can confidently say, @longrainmelbourne is the best of the bests. We opted to order a la carte instead of their famous banquet menu ($79pp) because we wanted to try all their signature dishes. We ordered: Prawn Betel Leaf $8 each ⭐⭐ Yum Kao Tod (crispy rice, tofu, ginger etc.) $18 ⭐ Filled Eggnet (prawn, caramelised coconut, bean shoots etc.) (S) $26 ⭐ Crisp Whole Fish (S) $55 ⭐⭐ Caramelised Pork Belly (L) $38 ⭐ Ma Hor (Galloping Horses - 2pcs) $7 No cap, they were all incredibly delicious. It can feel a bit exxy, but no regrets at all! One of the most satisifying meals I've had in Melbourne. We noticed how each dish was all beautifully orchestrated from presentation to flavours. I gatta say these guys really know how to use the thai-influenced sweet & sour kicks. Although each dish was incredible on its own, it's hard to overlook how they complemented one another, creating these beautiful accentuated flavours when being eaten together. Each and every bite was nothing but a blessing. All the dishes we ordered are worth trying but the highlights were 🍤Prawn Betel Leaf and 🐟Crisp Whole Fish. My girlfriend who's familiar with Southeast Asian cuisine liked Prawn Betel Leaf the most - "I had most of these dishes before but prawn betal leaf is on another level. You can taste all five flavours (sweet, salty, sour, bitter, umami) but at the same time, every bite is so unique". I can't agree with her more. Crispy Whole Fish was rather simple but packed with powerful flavours noone can hate. I am almost angry at myself for not dining here sooner! It was an absolute pleasure dining here (not to mention, attentive friendly staff!). Definitely worth your hard-earned cash. I can't wait to visit again.

Absolutely beautiful for an Asian fusion night out. The ambience at Longrain is so warm and inviting. The food was delicious and we loved the deep fried fish and the curry. The cocktails were spot on. Great place to go with a big group as it's so spacious. Extra star for our waiter Finn, top class service from start to end. Definitely one of the top restaurants in Melbourne.

Never had proper Thai food before and this place delivered well. Enough non-spicy or really mild-spicy food. Excellent, friendly service. Especially liked the ice cream, the milk tea and mango & ginger were special.

The Betel leaf is so singular that when it came out I remembered I'd been here in 2017. It was better than I'd remembered but just as bearably spicy. The red curry is quite good, tofu was a surprising standout. Non alcoholic drinks and spirits exist but aren't on the menu.

Unbelievably I found the unparalleled Thai restaurant in Melbourne! World class quality of ingredient, creativity and taste thai Thai falls in love! I would recommend prawn betel leaf and lamb were amazing. The staff are more than welcoming! Nice chat with you all! Nan, Amy and Michael❤️

ORDERED: Banquet menu ($89.00) 🦪 Freshly shucked oysters, finger lime, ma kweng pepper 🥦 Betel leaf, prawn, lime, chilli, ginger, peanuts 🍢 Chargrilled chicken skewer, sweet fish sauce, Northern Thai spice 🥬 Yum kao tod, crispy rice, pork mince, ginger, mint, coriander 🐷 Caramelised pork belly, five spice, pickled mustard greens 🍲 Turmeric curry, braised lamb, kipfler potatoes, pickled kohlrabi + 🐟 crisp whole fish, tamarind, roasted rice, lime, MP 🥒 Gai lan, shittake XO 🍚 Steamed jasmine rice 🍰 Chef's selection dessert REVIEW: Love what Scott Pickett has done with the place. The last time I went was 8 years ago was with the previous owner and I didn't enjoy the menu as much. However, the banquet meal was absolutely fantastic. As someone who doesn't quite enjoy Thai either, I can definitely see myself coming back to Longrain again. This is massive! The dishes and flavours were modern, but with lots of citrus accents and sharp tangy flavours that are hallmarks of Thai cuisine. We were very full after our ~6 course dinner. It's quiet and with large expansive space, you can really enjoy yourself. All the dishes popped and hope that Longrain can make itself back on Melbournian's dinner plans.

The food were simply but good not too bad. However, it’s a bit average for me compared to others Thai fine dining. Nothing wow for food, but the atmosphere and services were amazing.

The tastes we experienced were as good in 2020 as they were 3 years ago. With every dish you can taste each component. It’s like painting a picture on your palate. And because the restaurant is high ceilinged and spacious, you can actually hear the conversations on your table. Go early and you can easily get a table.

Always stunning food and great service

It's the best food ever Friendly service and Nice hardworking people nice Place to have dinner!

Never disappoints great flavours

Helpful, attentive service and really delicious Thai food. Really well balanced flavours in all the dishes we tried, which included their speciality betal nut scallop entree, the egg net and fish of the day mains, and the shared dessert platter. They were able to accommodate one person's preference for non-spicy food easily too. Generous serving sizes and a good drinks list including some local and some international options.

Great food and service

Fantastic food

(Translated by Google) Innovative taste, not traditional Thai cuisine, it is recommended that more people can share each dish, it is worth a try (Original) 口味偏創新，不是傳統泰式料理，建議多一點人可以share每道菜，值得一試

We will miss you

Expensive but delicious, i recommend their lamb, so tender and rich

Service was on a slow side but tolerable. Food is amazing as always.

Amazing Thai dinner! Definitely recommend getting early as they don't take bookings for small parties. Well worth the wait though!

Gorgeous heritage venue, majestic food. I photographed the wedding of Liv and Adam that was held upstairs at Longsong. Team seems to know what they're doing (to put it mildly). Stunning warehouse-ey space and the food was from another planet. Cheers legends!

The most amazing Thai meal I've ever tasted. We had the banquet. The entrees had delightful and surprinsing combinations of flavours and the main dishes were tantalizing and full flavoured. Highly recommend.

Started off with a drink upstairs. then dinner... had the set menu .. great food and service

Honestly pleasantly surprised and wonder why it has taken me so long to make it to Longrain. I've walked past Longrain Sydney and Melbourne many times but I guess I presumed I would be underwhelmed. Longrain is somewhat hidden behind some beautiful large doors, opening up to a dimly lit restaurant clad with warm woods, carvings and hanging lights. Walking along the entrance I was immediately drawn to the small wine room, wishing I could have my meal in there :) There is plenty of seating and even though it is essentially one large room the tables feel private enough. Top marks for the sound dampening on the roof! Sound control in large spaces with hard surfaces is a must. Service from our 2 waiters was impeccable, friendly and ever helpful. The menu was enticing, full of modern Thai fare. We ordered quite a lot for our table and probably over ordered but all of the dishes were tasty. Plating was quite good as you'd expect. Yes I will have to say a part of me was disappointed with the lack of chilli heat which detracts from it being "authentic" but the modern take on these dishes works all the same.

Magnificent service. We went in without reservation on a busy Friday night. The staffs got us seats on a communal table straight up and we had a wonderful 90 mins from there on. Both the main dish, the lamb rendang and salmon curry were delicious. Highly recommend the betel leaves.

Quality and diversity. Chef’s tasting menu was superb. Cocktails were excellent, staff professional and delightful. Restaurant beautifully decorated and music was perfect. Had a lovely dinner. Highly recommend. The staff are friendly and attentive and the place has an upbeat and social vibe which attracts a lot of interesting and outgoing people.

Annie says the plain rice was excellent. The rest of us thought so too they had great service, with a nice personal touch and the food was wonderful.

Came here with a group of 10. Very large table, noisy, slow service but the food was sensational, the waiter we had was highly professional and they adjusted the banquet for those with special requirements. The pork hock was amazing. Flavours of all the dishes were exciting and vibrant. Would suggest drinking beer with these dishes. The wine we had was overpowered by the food. Can’t wait to come back again

Upon arriving, I never would have thought that longrain would be extremely on a Monday night large and small tables had bums on them. The food, we ordered a few starters, little morsels of punchy flavours nestled on top of betel leaves. A nice way to start the meal and to open up the pallet. A highlight, deep fried snapper. With a tamarind sauce. A beautifully constructed dish. Fillets were cripsy, moist signs of a perfection. The fish body fried to a crisp, war's would be started over who got the tail. This is a perfect way to not waste anything, I'd recommend this dish over and again, it's pure bliss if you don't mind getting your hands dirty. To finish, a light refreshing parfait with guava. Yum!

Fantastic staff ,great food . Loved the vibe . Like the shared tables and dining at the bar it reminded me of dining in NYC. Upstairs is a great bar with snacks ,comfy booth seating and tables for groups. Large windows in a large loft atmosphere

I have always enjoyed my experience at longrain but I booked a month in advance to secure a table on V day and to receive a call to notify me I will be sitting at a communal table 4 days before the day isn't good enough. Luckily I am able to find a restaurant that wasn't complete booked out. I definitely won't be reserving a table here anymore. Booking system should give an indication of what table arrangement you are booking for

Longrain's survival was a rare bit of good news after Covid appeared to have finished it off. But it's changed - still very good, but service is rushed (we were fed and done in under an hour) and the choices seem more limited. There were still some great dishes, and the cocktails and Betel Leaf starters are as good as ever, but this now has more the feel of a quick meal before the the theatre, or a big function.

Marvelous, fantastic, beautiful and delicious. This is the way how I would recap my experience in this restaurant. The place has a very nice atmosphere, the dishes are stunning and Alessandro made our night providing a top service. Super recommended!

This place offers one of the most unique and exquisite Thai food I have seen in Melbourne. The Betel leaf appetizer was a refreshing way to start the menu. And the prawn curry and chicken curry was simply delicious. Generous serving size and an average drinks menu. Overall, it was a great experience.

Great Gluten Free menu. Excellent service and flavour filled dishes!

Good vibes, great food and really friendly staff. Servings are hearty!

Some of the dishes were the best I had from a South Asian restaurant. A bit pricy though.

The food was absolutely amazing and came out quite quickly. If you have the money it’s definitely worth it. We had a show that started after 7 and so we needed something to eat before. Between the two of us, we ordered three dishes and a side of rice. We were absolutely stuffed. I even got to try something new. It was interesting and I would never buy what ever it was but it went well with the dish. Mum and the couple next to us were asking about drinks and the man behind the bar was extremely knowledgeable about the entire menu of drinks. He made some recommendations after asking a few simple questions and I think both were satisfied with their choices. Over all the experience was amazing and well worth the money you pay for the food. The artwork all over the walls is also quite fascinating and a good topic to discuss whilst you eat.

Yum yum yum. The only problem I have is that there weren't enough of us dining to be able to try more of the menu! We'll just have to come back, loved this place.

(Translated by Google) Crowded, tasty and satisfying prices. (Original) Ramai,enak dan harga memuaskan.

We are up to multiple visits to longgrain, we really enjoy the curries and are working our way through the menu!

Great spot, excellent banquet.

Delicious. I don’t know if we got lucky with our order but everything was perfect. The table was huge and (thanks to COVID) we had a heap of space. I hate feeling cramped at a table when I’m enjoying a nice meal. The service was on point and the food was on another level. We had the pork hock, chicken curry and the salt and pepper tofu (plus a few cocktails). Loved every little bit of it.

In short, my experience at longrain was sensational. The floor staff were immediately helpful, polite, friendly, knowledgeable and conscientious of allergies and dietary requirements. The atmosphere was welcoming and lively, the fit out is fresh and modern, the large table size for 2 added to the luxury of the space. My friend and I ordered: The Tuna Tartare, came out within 5 minutes on a semi busy dinner time Sunday night. The tuna was incredible, the spice was heavenly and the texture showcased how fresh and succulent the fish was. Presentation was on point and the flavours were instantly overwhelming. We both knew straight away the food here was gonna be next level. The tofu, which we had with rice, we were pleasantly surprised that the portion size was adequate to have with rice as a small meal. The silken tofu was perfectly seasoned and the sweet soy brought all the flavours together. I highly recommend having a bit of extra sauce on your spoon when you enjoy. The crispy whole fish, which tonight was snapper and where to start? The presentation was identical to their Instagram, showcasing how consistent these chefs are. The meat was succulent and full of flavour under that delicious crispy coating. I'm not usually a fan of tamarind however the accompanying sauce has changed me. Was the perfect balance of flavours that carried it's way all through the fish and steamed rice. We both picked as much of the fish off the bones as we could even though we were already completely full, it was just that tasty. If you can't decide on a dessert, get the selection with all of them. The tapioca is fresh with lovely passionfruit and raspberry, the black sticky rice pudding with mango and coconut is rich creamy and full of fruit flavour, the banana fritters in coconut batter is caremilsed perfectly. In all the bill wasn't too expensive, I've definatly paid more for lower quality in China town, I'm so very happy with each moment of my experience at Longrain and eagerly looking forward to being back. Highly recommend, would hands down be the best Thai in Melbourne

Had the banquet menu, absolutely delicious

The standard that all Thai restaurants need to live up to in Melbourne.

Do you call in Lon Grain or Long Rain or do you use the G twice and call it Long Grain like a nitwit would?

Amazing food and great cocktails. Everything is amazing. Unless you’re a duck that is...

One of the best atmospheres of a bar that I’ve seen in the city. Really comfortable, spacious and some good tunes playing. They have some nice stuff on tap including one of my favourite orange sours from La Sirene brewery. The food menu looks good but I couldn’t try it because the kitchen was closed. The crawling is very high and has some interesting lights hanging off of it. Pretty good place for a beverage anyway. This bar is upstairs.

Such an amazing day. We have experienced something very big. In the fully dark

Fantastic food. A separate gluten free menu which was much appreciated. A restaurant that understands low fodmap and gluten free requirements. Well done!

Great food especially for gluten-free food.

I have been here many times. The food and service never disappoints...
