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.

Delicious food. The serving sizes were very small for the price. But I'd definitely recommend Jumbo Thai to others. Just order more than you think you'll eat! We were a table of 3 females and 1 male and we ordered 4 mains - 2 curries, pad thai and the beef salad and we could definitely have eaten more.

What a pleasant experience for our first time. The food was excellent and the assistance provided by our waiter SEYMOUR exceeded our expectation. The best pasta in town, al denté and the sauce was scrumptious. Mouth watering! The Valentina mocktail as suggested was perfect for us who don’t drink alcohol. And I didn’t think I’d taste Tiramisu that good. Highly recommended!
