Absolutely beautiful food and cocktails. I believe our receipt said Emma was our server and she was fantastic. Great experience from start to finish and we really enjoyed our time and food here.

I booked a table for two and, while waiting to be checked in, we noticed some friends and stopped to say hello. We quickly realised they were on a date.When the server came to the front desk, he discreetly mentioned that our table was close to theirs and kindly asked whether we’d prefer to sit nearby or move. I quietly asked to be moved so our friends could enjoy their date, and I was genuinely impressed by how thoughtful and considerate he was to even ask.I’m sorry I didn’t catch his name, but he had a ponytail and checked us in on 23/01 at around 5:00pm. That level of awareness and care is what I’d call above and beyond customer service.On top of that, the food, drinks, and all the servers were amazing. Such a great dinner, thank you! ☺️

We visited Light Years after it was highly recommended to us by lots of people. We didn’t have a booking, so they only had space at the bar. The bar was really high, so it was a bit awkward to sit at, but we still really enjoyed our experience! We had the prawn dumplings, eggplant katsu bao buns and the vegetarian fried rice. Everything was absolutely delicious. If you can get a booking, you need to try Light Years!

Absolutely loved this place very modern upmarket spin on Asian food which was delicious. It was so yummy that I forgot to take photos! The atmosphere is quite nice and the service was great. Will definitely come back and try more of the dishes. The deserts were also amazing. This places lives up to the hype and was a great restaurant.

Extraordinary experience from start to finish! The decor was so calming. Open, fresh, and green. Very welcoming staff. Quick and friendly service all around. The food was phenomenal! Everything was absolutely delicious. A handful of components in each dish but done so right.

Everything was absolutely 10/10! The Chicken Bao Buns and Mushroom Dumplings were incredible, and the Asian Greens were packed with flavour. The Wagyu Steak had fantastic flavours. Drinks were excellent, service was friendly and attentive, and the venue itself was beautiful - stylish yet welcoming. Overall, a great dining experience and definitely a place we'd come back to!

We were running late because of traffic and they accommodated a booking shift without any hassle at all. The staff were friendly and engaging, making sure they made our experience great. Customised versions of dishes to suit, great service, wonderful food. Lightyears are doing the customer experience right! We love this place.

This place has a beautiful ambience and a wonderful atmosphere. I really appreciated how the servers proactively asked about allergies instead of waiting for us to mention them; it shows genuine care and attention toward their customers. The food was absolutely delicious, and I’m definitely coming back.

This was our fourth visit to Lightyears, and as expected, the food was impeccable. Plenty of plant-based options and generous serves. And speaking of serves, our waiter Ben delivered the food and atmosphere with his attentive service and banter. Thanks Ben.
