• Asian • West End
Booked 17 times today
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.

    Waitress was pleasant and courteous, helpful when choosing meal. Decor is quite lovely. Was rather noisy unfortunately the couple next to us didn’t seem to be bothered about how loud they were talking, nothing to do with venue. Food was well presented and my salad was deliciously fresh and tasty. Have been here several times, todays waitress was best we have had .

    Fun dining, reasonable prices and great food You are presented with a huge menu with pictures of the food and then an order form that you complete yourself. The food comes out in a random order but was all very good. Service was fine.

    Very efficient, helpful and friendly staff, Italian cuisine has not lost its identity, which is the most important thing. I recommend the pasta with clams, truly exquisite, and the potato gnocchi, superb.
