Love The Ivy Asia , I marked it down a little as they have removed favourite items from the menu. We did have one other issue but it was professionally dealt with by the management

The new taster menu is not as good as the old menu. The food was all still amazing, but the theatrics were limited, sadly no more duck, and the desserts were disappointing in comparison to previous visits. Service was slow, our first round of drinks was incorrect, our second round ended up on the floor. Our table wasn’t ready on time, we were not offered a place in the bar as that was full, and the service was slow. Not as amazing an experience as previous visits.

A lovey meal out! We went for the set menu as none of us had dined at The IvyAsia before and enjoyed all the various dishes. Unfortunately we did feel rushed at the end of our meal as we were presented with the bill as the dessert was being delivered and told we had 15mins to vacate the table! Not the best ending to an otherwise lovely experience!

2nd visit to the Asian Ivy and did not disappoint. The staff (and kitchen) make this such an experience, their enthusiasm is infectious. Don’t normally enjoy dinner with loud background music but in this case the live DJ brings a level of energy which adds to the whole enjoyment. The food is spectacular and caters to all tastes. Will be returning

We were too crammed in at the tables and had to be asked to moved. You could not have a private conversation if you wanted too. The waiter didn't mention the stacking bowl lunch at all! We chose this but could have easily shared one between two, again this was not mentioned when we ordered. Rushed us to the bar when we finished. We would have liked to try a dessert but we were too full. This was meant to have been a Birthday celebration but was quite disappointing overall.

While the food was very good and the staff courteous our experience was heavily impacted by the loud screeching of the two women on the table next to us who had obviously enjoyed a lot of wine (we were there for lunch). It was also disappointing to see tables left with dirty dishes etc long after diners had left. The tables either side of us were left like this. All in all we felt there had been a reduction in standards since our previous visit last December and the wow factor was missing. A shame.

We had a champagne afternoon tea following a great experience earlier this year. This time the service was slow and it took time to get water, drinks and food. The choice and portions sizes were smaller than last time. So we decided to go for a la carte and allow more time for our next visit.

Nice for a special occasion but wouldn’t go regularly. Food was very good if not a bit over seasoned and flavoured. Service excellent. Ambience on a Friday night was slightly too loud for quiet conversation. Pricey but saved a trip to London for a similar experience.
