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. More

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

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

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

Been a few times now - the food is consistently well presented and good but it does not really represent the price you pay or the time you wait for it (definitely a place to arrive at early if you don't want to wait hours for a table). You won't be disappointed by the food or service but prepare yourself... More
