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.

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.

What a great little hidden gem. The menu is interesting with a really impressive range of dishes in all courses. The service was friendly and prompt, and the food was delicious. I feel like if it was in a more prominent location it would be packed out on a Saturday night. We'll definitely be going back.
