Claire BocchinoSeptember 10, 2013The caramelised pork, prawn & sour pineapple entree is RIDICULOUS. I pretty much could've just had two (or three, or ten) plates of that & been EXTREMELY happy. Fantastic staff, epic cocktails.
Florian SängerJune 28, 2016It almost doesn't matter what you choose from the menu – the food has been excellent every time I've been there. Most recently, we enjoyed the char grilled eggplant with banana blossom.
Jason DennyFebruary 22, 2015Cocktails are fantastic. Dining is good if you don't mind communal seating. Tho' there is an option to get individual tables. The green and red curry are splendid dishes.
David SmithJune 27, 2015Crispy market fish is a MUST HAVE. Don't be put off by the "whole fish" thing: the best bits come separated as the best fish sticks you'll ever have.
thatgirlAlli ...September 2, 2017The eggnet is a MUST! The red curry was amazing, meat was so tender it just melts in your mouth and make sure you get the ocean trout tartare 👌🏼👌🏼
Linda HongApril 14, 2015Great ambiance, dusky lighting, high ceiling and spacious. Friendly service. Dishes are on the overly sweet side adjusted for local taste, a little let down, they could have been that much better!
Edo CostaDecember 27, 2017Amaaaaazing thai restaurant, great menu, great wine selection. The tuba tartare was amazing!
AskMenJune 30, 2011Don’t miss any of the merrily named in house cockatils such as the Ping Pong, Camp Bitch, Bloody Longrain or the famed Caiprioska. Trust us, you want to be slightly drunk when the bill arrives.
SujyDecember 30, 2015Braised cheeks is an amazing dish for meat lovers. Pass on the steamed fish (was not flavorful - and flavor is what you want with Thai).
Vanessa GohFebruary 25, 2012Caramelised pork hock is a standout dish! Egg net is also a must order. Wash all that down with a ping pong or red dragon cocktail! Cocktails are unique :)
@JaumePrimeroSeptember 29, 2011The interior is very chic. Had a hard time staring at my food, because the atmosphere is so incredible. Dining is communal and the food is meant to be shared, you won't be disappointed.
Ryan SarverMarch 30, 2013Start out with some drinks downstairs at the bar. Green Curry and Pork Hock were winners, but you can't go wrong with the food.
Jen YMay 4, 2013Oh.My.Goodness. The taro cake, coconut and peanut ice cream. Makes you weak at the knees
Simon HeyesJanuary 10, 2013The best Thai in the East. Try the $16 starter...it's an orgasm in the mouth. Jungle curry is awesome too
Max HegermanFebruary 11, 2014The Banana Crumble was probably the best (sexiest) desert I have had in a long time. We ordered a second one...
Pete IannettaOctober 26, 2014Nice spot, quality food and extremely flavoursome. The asian-inspired pork belly is to die for
BarChickAugust 19, 2013Busy and always buzzing, Longrain’s ad-land fashion crowd enjoy live DJs Tuesday-Saturday
Cristian GarciaAugust 23, 2015Pork knuckle all the way! The bar down stairs is really cool with a dj playing cool grooves
Light & airy space. Food is sensational, egg net is a must. Cocktails created by experienced barmen.
Stephanie SngSeptember 9, 2014Salt and pepper tofu with lime, soy and mirin dressing was the standout dish to me!
Daren WilliamsApril 4, 2016Harassing service - trying to turn around tables as fast as possible. Pork hock was the highlight (though quite fatty)
Bec ZJanuary 30, 2011For entree, you can't go past the betel leaves with smoked trout, and the caramelised pork hock is a standout main. Egg net was a little disappointing; I was expecting a little more flavour and egg.
Nicole LamOctober 10, 2010Smoked trout betel leaves are +++. Massaman curry is melt-in-the-mouth delicious. For a good value red on an otherwise expensive winelist, try the paxtons tempranillo.
Bruno AJuly 1, 2010Nice large room with longgg tables and relaxed atmosphere. Excellent thai cuisine served in generous portions. Not too loud for a date on the night I was there.
The caramelised pork hock is one of my favourite restaurant dishes of all time. Delicious!
Tiffany SisJanuary 17, 2011i love it. try their caramelised pork hock and grilled octopus with pork belly.
Vivek KrishanOctober 27, 2012Avoid the papaya salad if you think it's going to be really spicy and sour like the real thing...
Simon LesterDecember 10, 2009My favourite restaurant in Sydney. The Pork Hock is a standout and washed down withe a Caprioska or five makes for a memorable evening of the senses.
Chris Rhyss EdwardsNovember 24, 2009Try and get seated close to the doors on the end of the bench so you can hear yourselves speak:) Great food and service!
Chris TelfordFebruary 26, 2014Cocktails look good an Eagle Rare oldfashioned just leave out the soda.- Mel McMarch 14, 2014Fancy Thai cuisine to be enjoyed at communal tables. Earthy yet modern atmosphere
Citibank AustraliaOctober 7, 2011In October, Sydney’s coolest bars mix it up for you – with a creative Chambord cocktail and matching canapé for just $20 as part of the CSIFF 2011.
Michael MorrisonMay 15, 2012Restaurant is still fab but the bar staff downstairs are slack, unprofessional and are not of the same calibre as the staff upstairs.
