Noisy. My wife has a food allergy which was explained and assured not a problem. Of course this was ignored and she couldn’t eat her meal. The entree was an egg net dish with bean sprouts and tamarind sauce which was really good. The main...I had was John Dory which was poor - supposed to be stir fried but I think poached - ruined the fish. Wine was expensive unknown and average. Won’t be back.More

I have been going to Longrain since it opened. Dined at Longrain Sydney first and LOVED IT! Have dined at Longrain Little Bourke St about 4-5 times a year and loved it every time. The food was sensational. I had not been back since COVID-19...and was disappointed to read the owners sold. So sad to say the food was nothing special. Ordered one of my favorites which was not great. The service on the other hand was just excellent.More

We had not been to Longrain for some time, but it was lovely to return. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Our dinner choices were the eggnet salad and whole fish which was snapper. Flavours are spot on and take you back to Thailand in a...heartbeat. Highly recommend.More

Went here pre-theatre and as such was there early and one of the first two tables in the restaurant, but it started filling up quickly to give it atmosphere. Staff were very attentive and great at getting us out on time, and the many other...patrons attending theatre shows. We started with the BBQ chicken skewers which we both liked, I'd recommend ordering two each - we wished we did! We then had the Yum Kao Tod, beware we thought the chilli was just on top, but the whole dish was very, very spicy. I was ok, but my friend couldn't eat it. Our lovely waiter saw she was struggling and brought over a cooling plate of coconut milk and cucumber without us even needing to say anything which was appreciated. We then had the pork belly which was by far our favourite and the dish I'd recommend to anyone. Our other main was the lamb curry which we didn't really like at all, I would definitely not order it again. Their dessert options are limited and there was not a single thing that appealed to either of us so we settled for maltesers at the show later. Cocktails were good, my favourite was definitely the Phuket Passion by far!More

Felt so happy after a great sumptuous dinner at “Longrain” restaurant. The atmosphere was excellent and sitting area was spacious with the diligent attendance of the hosts. Had the opportunity of tasting remarkably different flavours from Thai cuisine. Dinner menu had some exotic dishes which...catered perfectly to our pallet. Several great picks were Betel leaf, seared scallop with toasted shrimp floss which had a fantastic “Saravita” flavour, a betel chew flavour which I had tasted in a South Asian Island nation some time ago, very tasty Crisped whole fish with Tamarind sauce, stir fried Arrowhead squid with baby corn and others, Coconut poached Chicken with Vietnamese mint which had a super light gravy and finally a stunning dessert named Palm sugar meringue with poached quince. Had the opportunity of enjoying some quality Japanese and Scotch whiskies too.More

Awesome service from the friendly waiters and waitress. We had the Friday lunch banquet which was was divine. The betel leaf with scallop was flavoursome, the squid stir fry for entree was super spicy but delicious, the mains of northern 'hung lay' curry, wagyu beef...shin, pickled garlic, Jerusalem artichokes and green papaya salad were so delicious. I was thinking that I would I would have preferred a warm side with the curry but this was a perfect match. The included wine was nice and the cocktails were different but tasty.More

On 9 November 2022 we celebrated Andrew’s birthday by having dinner at Longrain ✨ We got: 🍤 Betel Leaf Prawn 🍢 Chargrilled Chicken Skewers 🦑 Arrowhead Squid Salad 🥩 Wagyu Beef Red Curry Everything was really delicious! We loved the ambiance and the staff was...quite knowledgable with the menu & helped us made our decisions with the meals. The portions were great, we honestly couldn’t fit anything more in afterwards 😂 We were hoping to get dessert because their selection sounded yum, but Andrew basically had to roll me home 🤣 BUT we did get a cute birthday candle on a coconut ice cream, that was really sweet of them 🥰 For a weekday dinner the place was almost packed! So better book your tables at least a few days prior to secure your place. We definitely recommend this place! 🤩More

What an incredible dining experience. Starting with the most delicious cocktails that were perfectly balanced, the food was so fresh and delicious and the flavours were out of this wolrd. The setting is really cool and overall we had a fantastic night out. The online...booking system was not a true reflection of seating availability so I’d. all or rock up as there was loads of room when we did despite online availability showing nothing for two hours after we arrived. The staff could have been a little more attentive but other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience, although quite expensive, it was worth the money.More

I suggest you phone (or actually drop in personally) to explain your requirements. All I can say is that the staff/chefs will advise one way or the other.
