Longwang

The highly anticipated Longwang restaurant will open its door in heart of Brisbane City on May 7, 2024, specialising in modern-Asian cuisine. 

The laneway restaurant on bustling Edward Street has been custom-built for purpose, spanning three meters wide by thirty metres long, spreading over two-and-a-half levels.

Boasting a unique layout, the restaurant will include a formal dining room, flexible function spaces, a rooftop bar and a cocktail lounge

The mouth-watering menu, crafted by Executive Chef and partner Jason Margaritis (formerly sAme sAme and Donna Chang), will feature an array of modern-Asian dishes, combining traditional flavours and modern innovation.

Seafood will play a leading role on the menu. In fact, the restaurant's name has roots in Chinese mythology, paying homage to Longwang, the Dragon King of the sea.

Succulent seafood offerings include local mud crabs and Tasmanian rock lobsters, plucked fresh from a live seafood tank and prepared in your choice of three styles, plus as a variety of wok-tossed dishes including bug tail “kung pao” and whole fried baby barramundi with dry red curry snake beans.

Besides fresh seafood, the menu features a Massaman curry made with braised lamb shoulder; wok-tossed pork belly in sichuan pepper, black bean and chilli; and charcoal-grilled half chicken smothered in a sweet and sour tamarind satay sauce.

To complement the Asian cusine of offer, an impeccable wine list has been carefully curated with a specific emphasis on varietals. In addition, diners can enjoy cocktails tailored to their individual taste preferences upon request at either of the two bars.
