Wow. A magnificent celebration of quality Thai flavors in a modern and inviting atmosphere, topped off with friendly, prompt and attentive service. Enjoyed the seasonal special Duck Confit as well as the chicken curry. Paired with unique and refreshing cocktails. Credit cards accepted.
First visit and we weren’t disappointed-we chose the $95 feed me menu, exceptional flavours and superb food, good quantity and great friendly service. Great wine choices and the waitress recommended red was excellent. Only recommendation would be to get an auto closing front door, too many patrons cannot read ‘close the door’ which lead to cold drafts coming in on a cold evening.
My two colleagues and I ordered the Premium Banquet. Food was absolutely top quality. Perfectly seasoned and executed. Service was attentive and friendly. They accommodated my colleague’s tree nut allergy with no issues. Highly recommend!
An easy 5 out of 5! Love the beetle nut leaves snack! I had something similar in Chiang Mai. Theirs is a slightly elevated version which is also spot on! Open up the appetite perfectly! Everything has the right balance of flavor, even the right portion! Any more would be too much, any less would be not satisfactory. You don’t want to miss this spot when in Melbourne!
Lovely dinner here. Service was very efficient and friendly. Straight on the important stuff such as bringing the wine out etc. we went for the banquet option for food, as seemed easiest, got to try some things we wouldn’t have ordered. Glad we got too . Though I’d probably liked a seafood dish instead of one of the three main meat dishes. But all was good. Desert in particular Wine list was excellent. I can see why they have won award for this. We went for an obscure Pinot which hit the spot and was reasonably priced. $175 each for banquet, one beer and $110 bottle of wine All in all would be back. Glad to have come. Thanks
Longrain lives up to its reputation with bold, modern Thai flavours served in a vibrant, high‑energy setting. The dishes are designed for sharing and are full of balance and punch, showcasing fresh local produce with Southeast Asian influences. The atmosphere is lively, service is polished, and it’s a great choice for a special night out or a long, social dinner with friends.
Great food and interesting dishes. The chicken with coconut is recommended. The fries rice is really fresh. All the food here is not heavy. The cabbage salad was fresh and light. Kudos to the server who was so friendly and knowledgeable about the best choices. Would return.
The Mog Champ sends his regards. Tried their premium banquet valued at 130pp. It's a very spacious and premium vibe for a modern take on Thai cuisine. Not sure if it would have been better to order a la carte but it may have been similar value in the end. Bjggest highlight was both the pork hock and the king prawns with curry. Curry goes really well with the rice. It's more of a soup curry than a thicker one too. Service was great and the room was lively. Having a dessert place each at the end was nice. Thanks for the dinner Longrain! Mogliest Regards, Your Mog Champ
We really enjoyed our meal, especially the dessert platter. There were good plant-based and pescetarian options, too. I'd like to see a mild vegan curry on the menu, such as a yellow or red curry. The service was excellent. The music was a bit too loud for us as a couple: it was hard to hear eachother speak.
Exceptional service and food. Haven’t been here for years now but still one of Melbourne’s best restaurants. The fusion flavours are fantastic, impactful without being overpowering. The service is excellent. We got the Banquet menu with the crispy fish added. There’s a lot of food, we were definitely full at the end. Highlight were the betel leaf, Yum Kao Tod, and the crispy fish. And beef red curry was a stand out. It’s not cheap…but worth it for a special occasion. 100/10!!
