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.

Had such a fun night of dining and cocktails for my birthday! We were a group of 10, and really appreciated being able to order à la carte, especially with vegetarians and pescatarians in the group. The great variety of cocktails added to the celebration. This was my second visit, and I’d definitely recommend it for either a cozy, intimate dinner or a bigger get-together. The traditional Thai food was absolutely delicious, served in a funky, stylish setting.
