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.
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.
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!
Great place for Asian food and cocktails. Place has a very spacious, bright vibe. Staff were very friendly and service was quick. Ordered their Light Years Ceviche, prawn dumplings and the Sezchuan honey prawns. The Ceviche (kingfish) was fresh and good amount of sauce. The prawn dumplings were steamed people perfectly and their was a good amount of prawn filling. The sezchuan prawns was lightly fried, plump and had addicting batter. It does have a numbing spice but not spicy. Recommend the sago for dessert. On the bottom had a layer of raspberry and then mango. It was very refreshing after the meals. Also recommend any of their cocktails. They were not too sweet and refreshing.
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.
