About the Business
Welcome to Light Years - Newcastle! Located on Darby Street, our establishment is a must-visit for those seeking a unique and exciting dining experience in Australia.
Originating in Byron Bay in 2017, the Light Years brand was created with the aim of bringing a fresh and modern Asian dining experience to the East Coast. With delicious share-style food, innovative cocktails, and a warm and welcoming wait staff, Light Years quickly became a favorite among beachgoers in Byron Bay.
Today, Light Years can also be found in Noosa, Burleigh Heads, and now in Newcastle. Each of our restaurants is distinct, with its own unique decor, exclusive dishes, and brand personality that reflects the spirit of its surroundings.

But it's not just about the food - the ambiance is equally important.

Reviews
"A modern and fun Asian bar with a bright personality. Menu has a good variety and the drinks menu has many fun cocktails and a wide selection of wines. I liked the sharing based menu as my partner and I like to share plates anyway, so this made for a really fun experience. I can easily imagine inviting a group of friends for drinks and ordering a feast for a great night. Recommend anyone give it a shot, especially with mates. You're bound to have a great time."
"I love this place! Beautiful service, food and drinks as always. Always a place I'll recommend to friends or take them there myself!! I haven't had a bad experience and the staff are always very accommodating."
"I found most of the dishes to be quite average. I only loved the bao buns (both eggplant and the fish) but just to note, you have to assemble them yourself. They come deconstructed but that’s not mentioned on the menu. They taste great though. The pork belly and the kingfish ceviche were not amazing. I wouldn’t order them again. The pineapple sauce of the pork belly didn’t complement the meat well. The wagyu beef rendang was alright, quite spicy, though the meat was beautifully soft, very well cooked. Despite not loving it overall, I would still be open to going back here as the rest of the menu looks like it has great options. The atmosphere, decor and service from the staff were all wonderful."
"this was probably one of the best lunches i’ve had in a long time! my partner and i came here for his birthday and we had such a great experience, the food was amazing and worth the price, and the service was so good! it’s a super aesthetically pleasing place too. i 100% recommend light years to anyone wanting to try it!"
"Had lunch there today and from the service to the food it was all fantastic. The staff were happy to answer my questions and make recommendations. From our first bite of food we were very impressed. So flavourful and cooked perfectly. We had the korean chicken bar buns, fried rice and pork ribs. All were amazing. Our cocktails were super yummy too."
