Am yet to be disappointed with the drinks or food at Light Years. At my most recent visit we started with some cocktails followed by prawn, scallop and crab dumplings that were wonderfully fresh and served with a lovely sauce. We then ordered the popcorn chicken and papaya salad which were both amazing. Finally, the highlight was the beef rendang curry. Absolutely delicious. With one bottle of wine between the two of us and the cocktails and food as listed it was the perfect amount of food and we came out just shy of $200 which I consider to be very reasonable for Byron. Will continue to keep coming back :
Awesome fit-out, nice staff and really good food. The reason it’s 4 and not 5 is because while the food was good, there was no stand out dish - everything was a solid 8/10. And the only reason I can be this discerning/painful is that we are just so massively spoiled in terms of good Asian food these days. Also note that if I’d been drinking it probably would have been 5 as the cocktails looked really good.
A must if you’re in Byron! Light Years was recommended by several friends in Byron Bay and it exceeded expectations. The Kingfish ceviche was a brilliant way to start the experience. Perfect balance of flavours between the fish, coconut, kafir lime and chilli. It was so good that I saved a bit to come back to at the end of my meal. I tried the Eggplant Katsu as recommended and I’m not sure what is in the strange sauce but I want more of it. Cucumber kimchi was a lovely accompaniment. Also ordered the Fire Cracker Chicken which was delicately coated and fried and was paired with Thai basil and chilli. Excited to come back and try more of the menu!
Light Years is busy, as well it should be. The outdoor seating area feels slightly Mediterranean and the atmosphere created by the waitstaff was trendy and friendly - a fine balance. If you've made it to Light Years, you need to try the cocktails. We tried three and all were delightful, but the Lychee Martini deserved a second round. The Korean Fried Chicken Bao Buns are fresh and filling - grab two serves. They're worth the spotlight. The only slight downsides were being seated at a shared, high table and the extreme heat in the outdoor area at lunchtime. No matter - will be visiting again as soon as possible!
Probably the best quality food you’ll find in Byron bay. Make sure you book in on there website as they have limited availability. The bao buns melt in your mouth. That is a must get!!!!!
Excellent food! We ordered two mediums, one side side and one starter. Was enough for the two of us. 2 cocktails each and the food cost us 170 aud Book the place on a weekend. Dont miss their cocktails. Pork bao buns were delicious. The qty of viet slaw was more than the sides you are served in other restaurants. Can be eaten as a mains as well. Firecracker chicken comes with a tangy sauce.
Light Years has moved to Johnson Lane in Byron and the interiors are new and spaciously luxe, the menu has all of my favourites Miso Eggplant and Prawn-Scallop dumplings. The cocktails are served quickly and we were given a walk in spot at the bar. The food is modern Asian street food. It came in at $112 for two.
Sooo yummy! I highly recommend this restaurant. The staff were so lovely the host needed to give them more credit, they did an amazing job, were very attentive and friendly. The cocktails were delish
The girls at reception recommended me this place and I must say I’m so glad I tried it despite it being a busy night. Ordered the firecracker chicken & Vietnamese slaw - flavour packed punch that hits you in the right spots. Would definitely recommend this place but would advise to make a booking I didn’t know Service was great and staff was polite & lovely.
Amazing service by the staff. The food was surprisingly lack lustre for such a popular place. Would recommend a look into making the Asian food more authentic. It felt more like an weak interpretation of Asian cuisine.
