Light Years

★ 4.4 · 503 reviews Perth Opened 2025

Pan-Asian diner turning heads on William Street

Come for the cocktails, stay for a menu that roams across Southeast Asia. Both get equal billing here, and neither disappoints.

It gets loud from seven onward. Walk-ins get sat at the bar, which is the better seat anyway.

    Was Introduced this restaurant by our friends. The Asian fusion dishes were delicious , especially the wagyu rendang. Just enough spice. Special mention to our waiters Clara and Brock for their amazing service.

    Great atmosphere with a really cool vibe. The interior is stylish and unique, with funky décor, comfortable sofas and lighting that creates a great buzz. The food lived up to the atmosphere, and we especially loved the pork belly. Service was perfectly fine, although nothing particularly memorable. We were also encouraged to order the corn ribs, which felt like a slightly random upsell. Overall, it's a great spot for a night out with delicious food and a lively atmosphere. We'd happily return.

    Absolutely loved this place! We decided to do the 'Leave it to us' banquet and so glad we made that choice. Delicious steak tartare with red dragon sauce was our absolute favourite and I'd probably come back just for that alone. Lovely customer service and stunning decor. Definitely a must to try in Perth CBD!

    Our first time dining in for our first wedding anniversary and we had the Banquet option with the Wagyu Striploin add-on, half a dozen oysters, drinks and dessert. Banquet Premium (99 per person) -Smashed Cucumbers - was decent but nothing to write home about. -Steak Tartare - the highlight of the night, really delicious. The meat and sauce is well balanced and the crackers give it a nice crisp. -Prawn and Ginger Dumpling - again was decent, goes well with the vinegar but doesnt have a big impact. Having 1 piece per person is disappointing. -Fish Bao Buns - This one was really good. Tasted fresh and seasoned well. The tartare gives it a nice kick with the zucchini and buns -pickled papaya and herb salad - im not a big fan of mint personally so didnt really enjoy this one. Other people might like it. -i dont know what this dish is called but this is also decent. -Wagyu striploins - steak was cooked medium rare and on point. The steak was tender and savory and sauce is delightful. -Mango and coconut sago ($16) - the coconut sago had the right amount of sweetness but the mango didnt have the mango flavor i was expecting -oysters ($7/piece) - fresh and delightful but quite expensive. We love oysters so bit the bullet. Total spend $330. Overall it was a good experience but honestly I dont think that it is good enough to justify the price.

    We had a wonderful dinner at Light Years last night! Clara was our server and she was so friendly and helpful with suggestions for ordering. We ended up getting the ‘feed me’ menu for our table of 4 and it was a perfect amount of food, with every dish delicious and beautifully presented. At the end of the set menu we were offered sake, which was such a fun touch and the dessert was absolutely worth it. Light Years has such a cosy, comfortable setup. The interior is beautiful and the staff were all so kind. It was a really enjoyable night out. We left full and happy. I also noticed they have the option for bar seating for people dining in pairs or alone, which is not something I see often in Perth. I love the idea of being able to come here to eat even without a group of people and not feel like you’re dining completely alone.
