• Asian • West End

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.

    Brilliant service, super cosy atmosphere and the most drool-worthy, authentic Italian we have had for a long time in Brisbane. Incredibly accommodating and I could not fault a thing. Home made focaccia to go with our charcuterie was DELICIOUS, super generous pasta servings and I even had a non-alcoholic spritz made that was just like the real thing. Definitely coming back. Do yourself a favour and try COMO! Bravo team 👏
