Longwang

Yet another stellar venue from the Tassis Group, who you’ll already know from Opa, Massimo, Fosh, Rich & Rare and the soon to open Fat Cow & Lobster, Longwang has just landed in the CBD, dishing up contemporary Asian fare to the masses. This stunning, two-and-a-half level, three-metre-wide venue has to be seen to be believed—wedged between two skyscrapers on Edward Street, it's a marvel of engineering, complete with retractable roofs on the top level for dining in the sun. 

For those not familiar with Chinese mythology, Longwang is a homage to the revered Chinese Dragon King of the Sea—and knowing that almost all of the Tassis Group’s other venues have a heavy seafood focus, you can expect plenty on the menu here as well. Though Longwang is the group’s first foray into Asian cuisine, executive chef and partner in the venture, Jason Margaritis, is well-versed in it, having previously helmed the kitchens at Same Same and Donna Chang.

On the menu you can expect to find the likes of mud crabs and rock lobsters plucked fresh from a live seafood tank and prepared one of three ways, wok-tossed bug tail kung pao, whole fried baby barramundi with dry red curry snake beans and plenty of non-seafood dishes like lamb shoulder massaman curry and Sichuan pepper pork belly.
