Lilong brings you an authentic Shanghai community and street dining experience. It is all about lively, memorable round-the-table moments with friends and family. Lilong is the name for the centuries-old street communities in Shanghai that are connected by laneways. A cross between English terrace-houses and the traditional Chinese courtyard, these residential back street neighbourhoods are tucked away behind the commercial centre of the city’s boulevards. At Lilong we re-imagine the pulsating melting pot of street food and the heart, soul and rhythm of the streets of Shanghai. The atmosphere embodies a cheerful meeting and eating place that has been such an integral part of Shanghai living. Lilong’s signature range of noodles, dumplings and other dishes reflects those genuine flavours and traditional cooking techniques.

I took my elderly parents to Vela for a family celebration on a Monday night. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant was clean and beautifully fitted out. We ordered several dishes to share and were very pleased with all of them. Our waiter was helpful, answering our questions and repeating our order back to us to make sure it was correct.

Bit of a blind booking, didn't know what to expect. A hidden gem. Wait staff excellent, food very good. Great wine selection. We booked for a pre show dinner and it really started the evening off well, Bill Bailey had a lot to live up to and he didn't disappoint either.

Food is delicious, generous portions and service is fast and friendly. Favourites are the sweet and sour Barra, duck pancakes, and Sichuan green beans. Tonight we had sweet and sour Barramundi, Chinese greens, and vegetarian fried rice. Perfect! A restaurant like this deserves a better location! Street noise is always terrible, the engine noise of motorbikes and suped up P platers is amplified on this street. I think there is always a fire siren.
