The Ivy Asia Leeds

What a great experience we had visiting this fantastic restaurant for the first time this weekend.

From a cuisine perspective, The Ivy Asia couldn’t be more the opposite to the ‘normal’ and more traditional Ivy restaurant brand although, what they do have in common is first class food and service set within a stunning environment designed to the highest of standards.

Getting a table in this restaurant is very difficult due to its huge popularity and our only option was a 11.45am sitting for lunch. It seemed a little early however, by time you’ve got settled in and perused the menu it moved more towards a typical lunch time feel.

The inside of this restaurant is spectacular, an abundance of vibrant colour and fantastic design which all, really sets the scene for the dining experience.

Plenty of staff to hand who were very very good at what they do making each guest feel very welcome and special.

The menu is sublime. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many dishes that I wanted which made it very difficult to choose.

The food is prepared and served tapas style in that in no real order it comes to the table when ready and for us, we like this style of dining.

To summarise, this place is excellent. The quality of everything you would expect from The Ivy brand is in abundance and quite simply we can’t wait to go back.

If you like Asian cuisine you must go to this restaurant as you definitely will not be disappointed.

What a fabulous experience visiting Ivy Asia Leeds on the very first Saturday, it was a sensory delight in every way. The atmosphere was electric with a cool vibe, and the best tunes coming from the Uber stylish bar area. Anthony was there to introduce us to chilled sake which I can absolutely recommend and share his top cocktail tips. They were sooo good!

The food really was incredible with added theatre, each table alive with dishes artfully presented with style. The fabulous Ivy decor did not disappoint either and only added to the magical experience.

Leeds has an array of tempting destination dining options and a vibrant nightlife scene, but I think The Ivy Asia has raised the bar and will become my number one!

I had the most wonderful experience with the afternoon tea! It was beautifully presented and the selection of teas offered were delicious. If you're not sure what to get at The Ivy Asia, the afternoon tea is a great place to start as there is such a wide selection of food items to try. I wanted to give a special thanks to Joe Saxon who was my waiter for the evening. He handled my table with great care,  served food with speed and treated us like royalty. I think this is a place I can't wait to return to.

We had lunch here recently and will absolutely be returning for dinner. The food was so tasty and we enjoyed everything we ordered. Some of the flavours I would have never thought I would like, for example, matcha edamame, but they were delicious. Soft shell crab was another standout. The staff were all so attentive and efficient. Lastly, a special note for the decor if you've been to the Ivy you will be expecting spectacular and it will not disappoint.

A truly memorable fine dining experience!! Exceptionale food presentation and impeccable service. Outstanding cuisine served in sumptuous surroundings with great ambiance & fantastic staff. My compliments to the chef.
