Was AMANDA SILVA at Longtime a mag?
Loved the food! It was amazing and the steamed fish was perfect! The pad Thai and som tum were delicious and yummy. Service was quick and the different tea drinks were so good. Pricier but well worth it. View all feedback.
What Lesana Rozenberg dislikes about Longtime:
Have been looking forward to this dining experience and unfortunately was really disappointed. We tried a number of bar snacks and two of the mains and I just felt it was all pretty flavourless. Maybe we just did not chose well. My friends all love it - and I generally love all Thai cuisine. Must just be one of those things! View all feedback.
Dining as part of a big group is always a challenge (especially for the wait staff) but Longtime made it very easy. While we had to have the banquet menu, which I normally find frustrating, the team was amazing at looking after various dietary requirements. The food itself was delicious, but perhaps a little spicy for a few in our group. Several small starters were followed by so many mains that it seemed wasteful. A small dessert followed and we were out the door in our allotted 2 and a half hour slot. Will be back, although perhaps for something a little more intimate next time - dinner for two perhaps.
It's a cute space and the wine list is decent. That's about it for the positives. Everything is focused on getting in the maximum number of people each night in the minimum possible time and this was a Wednesday night. This includes cramming strangers uncomfortably close to one another at the communal table despite there being dozens of vacant seats; and telling people they need to wait for a table to increase alcohol consumption in the holding pen outside. I requested a 6pm reservation but they said only 5.30 was possible, (despite there being hardly anyone there at 6pm).Then the email confirmation listing all the rules. Arrive 15 minutes early, vacate table within two hours etc. etc. We had no trouble complying with the latter, given 5 dishes (2 courses and rice for two people) were all served within 15 minutes of being seated and one was inedibly salty and left uneaten. Getting the first drink was easy, getting another was harder. Seems we'd had our allotted 15 minutes and by 5.40pm, dinner was a wrap. Over $100 for 2, overpriced, food nothing special, but worst of all, about as far removed from the concept of 'hospitality' as is possible. The local Thai may not have the decor, but at a third of the price, with authentic flavours and genuine friendly service it's a helluva lot better experience.

Lunch was really good! Service was friendly and warm. Food taste really authentic. I love that they have kids meal. The pork skewers were dry and a little smelly tho. Otherwise everything was good! Lunch deals are a must!
Siam Samraran is a lovely restaurant in the Soda Factory, West End. The place has outdoor seating facing the car park. While the outdoor seating is nice, the flies are pesky. The food is really good and flavourful and the staff are wonderful, very polite and helpful. The hostess is very sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. They have Gluten Free main courses however the starters are limited to 2 unfortunately. The staff are aware of Gluten Free dishes and can help you choose. The steamed Baramundi in Ginger was delicious and so was the Pad Thi. The Masamman curry was tasty but lacked the authentic taste. The Gluten Free chicken satay and GF Pork skewer were tasty but slightly over cooked and tough. The GF Pad Thai was one of the better Pad Thais I've had very tasty but skimped on the prawns, there were only 4 big prawns. Probably better to go for chicken so it's evenly spread in the dish. Overall a good meal. I've been twice and will go back again. Good food and ambience and great service!
