Lilotang

The service was fantastic, super nice and welcoming. The server explained drink options that best fit what we were eating. We got the chefs best option it was $90 but it was definitely worth it. We loved the food and we were so full when we left. Definitely recommend going if you want Asian fusion food and good drinks. Our total was $244 we got the Chefs Best, 180ml Sake, mocktail and a cocktail from their specials. All of them were delicious!

I had a great dining experience in Lilo, the atmosphere there and staff service was really impressive. My friends and I ordered the feed Me Course. To be honest, everything from the taste of the food to the presentation was great, and the desserts at the end were delicious as well. I think Lilo Tang is one of the best Fine Dine restaurants in Canberra. Would be back again.

Kilo tang was a fantastic experience. Great atmosphere and great vibe. Staff were attentive and super knowledgeable about the menu. We got the standard Feed Me menu which was super generous and really taste.. Definitely try this but if a la carte is your thing, the salmon is a must! Thanks for such a great night. Must try Canberra foodie experience

I went with my partner sometime last year for dinner. We got the set menu for 2 with an additional duck breast sukiyaki. The food was divine. The scotch fillet and pork belly were stand out dishes. The our waiter gave us an additional dessert on top of the 2 that came with the set (as he noticed we were undecided on which two to get). Highly recommend the restaurant and will come again when in Canberra.

A very good quality dining experience at this elite venue. I would highly recommend trying some of their unique dishes here including the Moreton Bay Bug slider, Crispy marinated octopus, Slow cooked Angus short rib, Lilotang Salad, Japanese potato salad. I prefer that over the tasting menu as we get to choose what we like and get a larger serving. Regards @fooderarri

Lovely experience, great service. We had the feed me menu for $80. It was worth having, although some of the flavours could be a little stronger and more bold. Also it would be good if there was a dessert offered in the feed me menu rather than as an extra

Beautiful space and concept but the food tasted average and came in underwhelming portions. The one standout good dish was the pork belly skewers, which were juicy and delicious. Staff were nice. Comments on the remaining dishes: - Oyster: average tasting sauce but fresh - Aburi salmon: by far the most disappointing dish with four tiny slivers and an over salted sauce - Kingfish: I was disappointed since I was expecting it to look/taste like Akiba’s. Not many fish pieces and average tasting sauce. - Scallops: it doesn’t look too appetising but tastes surprisingly good. Small portion. - Miso eggplant: ours was still quite solid/tough. The sauce was average. - Chocolate fondant cake: disappointing since the cake was cooked through, no molten core. It tasted good though. My favourite of the three options. - Black sesame pavlova: disappointing since it the pavlova part was super hard with no gooey parts. Tastes ok. - Lime panna cotta: disappointing since the components didn’t taste good together (in my opinion). My least favourite.

What a great dining experience! We are celebrating an important date here. The staff are just hospitable and kind; it was such a joy talking with them. We ordered the Chef's Choice combo. The attention to detail in the dishes is quite outstanding. The chef made common Japanese dishes like yakitori and kingfish sashimi stand out in taste. The short rib and karage made us wonder how they are cooked. We enjoyed our time here very much. Will be back:)

Lilotang is a new casual dining restaurant that Josiah Li has so capably created along with the already acclaimed Chairman Yip, Malamay and Lantern Rooms. There is a lovely modern feel as you enter - the walls are in birch and moveable so it can so aptly cater for variances in group sizes. Light and 'airy' there is a overall feel of being in a low key and relaxed envoirnment where fine food matters will occur. And they do, and there are some standouts - the Pork Belly sewers are in a delightful sauce; the char grilled cold eggplant in sesame sauce is tasty and from the mains the Pork Spare Rib in black pepper balsamic soy was good as was the Lamb cutlet with spicy wasabi vinaigrette.....some lovely dishes to choose from.... And if you like Sake there are plenty to pick from...at least 20, and yes the wine list is good too. This place is relatively new so I can only imagine what it will be like as it 'matures'.

In Canberra for the Cartier Exhibition in July, staying at the Burbury Hotel. Was convenient to try LILO+tang without a booking on the Friday night at 6.30pm. Fully booked of course, but a HK student waiter was smart to suggest if we were happy to eat in the bar area sitting on high stools. We did not mind at all as the bar area was relatively quiet with a street view. The smart waiter suggested the tasting plate menu at $65 each min 2 people which was perfect for me and my wife. Each plate was served , nicely cooked and explained to us what it was. The Japanese style dessert as recommended, Mucha ice cream, torfu with syrup was a surprise to end the meal. It was a dining experience. The Japanese beer list was awesome , the two we chose were delicious and so different from the Australian beers. Would come back again to try other dishes. Very reasonably prized . Good value.

We were there for a work dinner so we had the $65pp menu. Jeepers the sushi, pork and steak especially were sensational. Really worth it!

Have never been disappointed dining here. Do yourself a favour and don't even look at the menu, let the staff and chef take you on a little tour.

Went here for celebratory dinner with my partner and was pleasantly surprised at their willingness to seat us despite being 15 minutes early for our reservation. This set the tone for the lightening quick and highly attentive service available throughout the meal. We had edamame and robata skewers to start, then the pork belly and marinated grilled chicken. The pork belly easily ranks among my top ten favourite things I have ever eaten--it was amazing. Try to imagine a piece of meat that's as fluffy as a marshmallow, but a subtle orange citrus tang, but enough juicy goodness to remind you that you're eating meat, and you might have a weak idea of how good this dish was. We also each had a glass of wine, and the red was far and away a better choice. I would like to try the seafood tasting menu and sushi plate, but I also know I would be bursting at the seams if I wasn't careful! So so good!
