Overall a good experience, fast service and delicious food. The xiao long baos were one of the best we had unique as the skin texture and soup broth was perfect. The mapo tofu was nice and silky however it was slightly plain (lacked the minced meat). We also ordered yangzhou fried rice which was quite bland. We recommend getting the spicy chilli wonton as it was amazing and will definitely be back.
Food is just the same quality as their mother store! Service was a bit slow though, with the pan fried dumplings arriving after we were halfway through with the other two dishes. Besides that, the staff was very friendly.
Polite staff, gets a little busy on Friday nights, but gets a table in less than 10mins wait, great area for kids to play while you wait for your table, been here for both dinner and lunch, great experience. Food is fantastic
We ordered a large assortment of dumplings, a serve of drunken chicken and spring rolls. The dumplings were great and so was the drunken chicken. Food was brought out promptly.
Got to love a steamed dumpling combo. New on the menu, it offers four pairs of each of the following dumpling varieties -
Chicken and corn, shrimp and chive, beef and baby celery, and lamb and spring onion. We also had the lemongrass pork chop with rice which was a generous serve with steamed rice and fresh tomato and lettuce; although the pork was cooked well I didn’t get a lot of the lemongrass flavours and the rice was a little hard. The deep fried Chinese milk buns were absolutely delicious, piping hot and crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Didn’t come here during peak hour so service was fast. Ordered the pan fried pork buns which were pretty good and the diced chicken fried rice which were decent. Price was good for the serving size
Absolute favorite restaurant, their dumplings are amazing, and although the food is on the slightly pricier side, they’re 100% worth it. Head staff are also very friendly.
I frequent here often with a group of friends when we feel like shanghai cuisine mainly due to it's location, seating, and consistency. Time after time, they serve up good dumplings and other dishes that are tasty. I tend to order XLBs, pot stickers, rice cakes and probably a fish/beef in spicy oil. Honestly, it is overpriced cos it's in Westfield haha and you can definitely get cheaper and of same or better quality elsewhere. But their service is efficient, has space for larger groups and feed our hungry stomachs with yummy food :P Not the best, but it's good.
Fried rice with XO sauce and green beans with pork mince are a must try. Really tasty and generous portions. Only thing we noticed was instead of pork mince they replaced it with shrimp mince but it was still ok, its just we weren't informed. Overall, good food a little bit pricey though. Lovely ambience outdoor and fast service.
Been here few times. Tonight I'm having steamed dumpling combo and wonton soup. Tasty and nice selection. Friendly fast service. Will be back again.
Came here to have lunch and we got a table straight away. We were amazed by the decoration of this restaurant which can bring memory of being at the mainland China. Decided to try ordering Xiao Long Bao and yes they were delicious. The pork was seasoned really well and the whole steamed bun was just very tasty. Highly recommended for those who have not tried this restaurant before. Also, there is another restaurant at Forest Road but it is much more convenient to come to Westfield and go to Lilong at the Rooftop Dining area.
Very good food. You can see the chef's making dumplings. Been here twice. Good variety and nice atmosphere except for the occasional car driving past outside in the car park.
I keep coming back here!! Ive been here once as a guest, and didnt think much of the restaurant. However ive dined here out of my own volition 3 timss in the past 2 months.
Their dumplings (xiao long baos) are excellent! As are their pan fried buns!! Nomnomnom highly recommended. I wouldnt recommend the crispy skin chicken with red rice. Im not a fan of tom yum soup or lemongrass in savoury foods... the rice tastes like lemon grass and the chicken was dry.
I do recommend all the traditional shanghainese dishes, they are all cooked quite well!
Exactly the same menu as Taste of Shanghai (which is incredible) but with more space and nicer decor. Absolutely love eating here. The staff are super fast and efficient.
I like to come here with friends after shopping for a quick bite. Very friendly stuff (that you are not going to experience in Huntsville a lot) and always fresh dumplings.
Xio long bao and other dumplings are pretty much the same as taste of shanghai so can't complain. Ordered some stir fried vegetables. Food was nice despite a smaller menu. Easy to get to on the rooftop of Westfield. Ramp access with a short walk from lift or escalators. Indoor and outdoor seating. Staff were lovely. $38 for 2 plates of dumplings and one plate of veggies. A little steep for the area.
Booked table on Australia Day an hour before for 7 and was accommodated.
Lovely atmosphere. Prefer this place to the one on Forest Rd in Hurstville.
Similar quality food to all the other good shanghainese restaurants.
Will be back.
It's a new eatery under taste of shanghai restaurant group. Initially though they do shanghai cuisine when looked menu in details and discovered they offer range of Asian food from spicy Sichuan, northern china dumping to Singapore fried noodle. We were a bit hesitate to order from the unusual menu. We tried shanghai pork bun, pan fried pork bun, crispy chicken with tomato rice, braised beef noodle soup and Singapore fried noodle. Quality came ok portion are generous service attentive. Recommend for family with kids or friends catch because of the varieties.
Located on the Westfield Hurstville rooftop food precinct - this place has a great vibe and feels super modern. Owned by taste of Shanghai group - the food is delicious and made with fresh ingredients. The customer service is attentive and I really like the enclosed feeling this place has like your in someone's house. I highly recommend the fish fillet in spicy chilli oil and the barramundi in sweet and sour sauce.

Lilong is located on Westfield Hurstville's newly renovated rooftop dining precinct. The cuisine is authentic Shanghainese and the variety of this wonderful food is amazing and diverse.
Came to check this place out one early evening. Between the 2 of us, we ordered the Pork & Vegetable Wonton Soup, Salt & Pepper Pork Ribs and the Sizzling Mongolian Lamb. This was more than enough for 2 people! Food came out real quick and the service was attentive and efficient, it's just a bit pricey.
Lilong by Taste of Shanghai has finally opened up in the rooftop dining precinct of Westfield Hurstville and we could not be any more happier. Most of you already know by now, but we both love the food at Taste of Shanghai, so much so that we visit the Hurstville store frequently for take-out. The problem is, the store is small so it has very limited seats and even take-out can see you waiting for up to 30 minutes, The opening of Lilong should help ease the load by providing a similar store with practically identical tasting food! ... and they have plenty of seating capacity! :)
I tried the pan fried pork buns which were not the absolute best I've had but still pretty good. The pastry was a little inconsistent with the sides being thin but the top was really thick. The amount of soup was also inconsistent between the buns (though that's quite common), but the filing was otherwise still juicy and overall delicious.
The lemon grass pork chop had decent flavour, but was a little dry and would have been better if it was juicier.
Serving sizes are quite decent, and you can order delivery like I did and it travels reasonably well.
My go-to place for Shanghainese dishes! Everything was very flavourful and cooked to order.
Some of the standout dishes were:
> Deep Fried Buns w/ Condensed Milk - iykyk ;)
> Sizzling Sliced Beef on Hot Plate - the beef was super tender
> Shanghai Turnip Croissant - super super flaky pastry with shredded turnip filling... the best thing ever
I wouldn't recommend ordering the Barramundi in Sweet & Sour Sauce though as the fish itself was very dry and the sauce didn't have that wow factor... once you've tasted the real deal from the restaurants in shanghai you can never go back : (
Love the food here, we come regularly. It's not the cheapest place but the food is excellent. Great dumplings made on the premises, good service. It's always busy but never too difficult to get a table (it's worth booking).
