The Ivy Asia Leeds in Leeds

I was part of The Collins party last Saturday, my 1st experience of Ivy Asia & it surpassed all my expectations!! The food was outstanding, the staff SO attentive & friendly. It rounded off a very memorable Family day, THANK YOU ALL X

Reliable Ivy food & service with its distinctive Asian flavours. Set menu was exceptional value.

We came as a group with 2 birthdays and was served by Andrew. He was the most lovely waiter! And gave us the best service. It was a breathe of fresh air to get service like this he made our meal memorable. Thank you so much Andrew.

Incredible service from all the staff at Ivy Aisa Leeds! Particularly from the personal service of amazing Andrew! Very friendly and incredible food! Will definitely be coming back:)

Gorgeous food, beautiful surroundings and excellent service. We ordered from the Dragon lunchtime menu which is great value with lots of delicious choices. Highly recommend.

A lot of hype over this place, expensive for what it is. Did enjoy but wouldn’t rush back, atmosphere and decoration really good

Amazing surroundings and food. Set lunch was excellent value and quality but the service we received from Sheryl surpassed everything. Top class! 👌🏻

Had my first taste of the Ivy and it was a wonderful experience. I had the Shepherds Pie and at first glance I was surprised at the small portion however it was so flavoursome and filling. It was my birthday and they surprised me with a birthday desert and although I'm trying to be good for my summer holidays it would have been rude to say no. A fantastic culinary experience that I highly recommend.

traveled nearly 300 miles and made a reservation at IV Asia with over a month’s notice. Upon arrival, I was informed that my reservation was invalid—despite presenting confirmation as evidence. Rather than addressing the issue properly, the staff initially seated us at a sushi bar without offering any choice regarding the type of table, seating arrangement, or even the menu options. I was told that reservations had to be made six months in advance, which was not indicated anywhere during the online booking process. When I asked where on the website this policy was stated, the staff member stepped away for a brief discussion and returned shortly after to inform me that a table had suddenly become available—an explanation that felt inconsistent and unclear. Once seated at a more appropriate dining table, I ordered a starter—wontons—which I expected to be traditional dumplings filled with meat and vegetables. Instead, what was served resembled poppadoms or a crisp pastry shell, entirely misaligned with the standard understanding of a wonton.

We were served by the gorgeous Sheryl, her service was impeccable and we were so looked after and she was the perfect server to help us celebrate !! Absolute credit to your venue <333

We had a lovely birthday lunch here - wonderful food and excellent service! The place was ‘buzzing’ but we felt no pressure to ‘vacate the table’. Our waiter was absolutely charming and the mushroom gyozo starter in yuzu sauce in particular was stunning! Definitely recommended especially for That Special Occasion.

Unbelievable experience, from the moment we arrive we were looked after like royalty, the service is impeccable & food is to die for. All in all an amazing adventure for us both.

Fantastic high-end vegan selection. We particularly recommend the mushroom gyozas and Keralan chickpea curry!

Our introduction was very nice, the decor is beautiful & I especially loved the flooring & overall opulence. After that, it all went downhill. The cocktails are pricey, hit & miss in taste, my 1st one was served to me without a straw - how am I supposed to drink it? I even commented on how it was an extra long cocktail... Then came the £48pp menu - no warning that we're expected to share, family style instead of individual apportioning which is what it should be - trying to save on washing up dishes/serving? The food was also hit or miss, mainly vegetarian so cheaper cost than meat. The real shocking thing was the amount of times food was taken away from our tables, without us being asked, EVER, if we were finished. Our server removed an entirely fresh bowl of edamame, and did the same with our leftover curry, rice and pak choi! Really disappointing. Considering we paid £95pp, how dare you take our food away? We were still eating! None of our cutlery was presented as if we were finished. Terrible service in this sense. Also while there, 2 servers crashed into each other & smashed a glass. Though they thought they cleaned everything, an old lady ended up kicking a large piece of broken glass later, while being seated - not sure about the health & safety on that! Could have been disastrous. We were a table of 5, celebrating a birthday & yes the restaurant was full, and we stayed over the silly time limit of 2hrs but again, when spending so much money we should be allowed to stay as long as it takes us - don't overbook the restaurant! And then practically throw us out telling us that people are waiting for our table. What a way to ruin the experience, giving us a £450+ bill, telling us to pay & leave asap, and of course it includes 12.5% forced service charge though service was poor at best. I had to ask 4 times to order my 2nd drink. Disappointing experience, will not be returning. We weren't ever asked if everything was ok with our meal, otherwise I would have said something. Dessert was probably the best tasting course, which was not Asian at all. It's a hot mess of dry ice spectacles for Instagram.

To sum up this place. If your main purpose is to take pictures, maybe it is worth a visit. Service is also great. Very polite and friendly staff. As a matter of food. It doesn't taste good. We had the £60pp experience and yeah everything comes with leaves and smokes and all but either is too salty, too oily or just doesn't taste good. The bar looks fabulous, drinks are super expensive though. Service charge was nearly £30 for 2 ppl. Only your water is gonna cost you about £12. It just doesn't make sense. Maybe only for people who aren't bothered about how much they get for their money. Also tables are too close to each other, ppl traffic and noise levels are high 😅. I won't go again.

Great night out. Food was delicious and service was friendly.

I’ll start with the positives - food was lovely. Decor is very pretty. Our server was friendly but perhaps inexperienced Negatives - we booked a table ages in advance. When we got there 5 mins early, we waited 20 mins to be sat down which made us late for the plans we’d booked after dinner. The rice for the salmon was missed, only brought to us after asking twice and my friend had finished his meal. The dessert was missed for my friend despite being ordered at the same time. Overall pretty poor service from an establishment that charges 12.5% service charge. Which we didn’t pay ofc. I would maybe try it again but with great reluctance. EDIT: don’t be fooled by management replying to reviews, as they don’t respond to emails once you do email them as per their request😂

Our third time here, always good. Plenty of staff so service is always prompt, polite and personal. The food is delicious, not cheap but you're also paying for the experience and service. The place is always busy. Remember to let them know if it's a special occasion when booking. Decor is fabulous, all the way down to the surprise in the gent's loos!

Very well looked after tonight, great staff, stunning restaurant & plenty of good food. Very nice, thank you Ivy Asia ❤️

Not all chicken on the menu is halal, very limited options, shame

Great venue and location in the heart of the city. Such a warm welcome from the door colleagues, reception, bar, waiting staff and servers. Can't compliment them enough. The flavours in the food and the presentation skills are second to none. Defanaly will be back soon!. NB: if you're planning a visit and you're booking a table via one of the table booking apps, please note there are 2 Ivy restaurants, next to each other. The Asian style and the brasserie style. Take care not to book the wrong one! Enjoy.

Absolutely beautiful, food and service were 💯 % My daughter took me as a birthday treat and we were made to feel so welcome the whole experience was so relaxed. Definitely worth visiting.

My first experience at Ivy Asia, unfortunately, wasn’t the best, which I reported to the manager, Will. However, I decided to give it another chance on Valentine’s Day, and I’m so glad I did. The difference was night and day—everything was exceptional. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was incredible, and the customer service was top-tier. The ambience set the perfect mood, making it an unforgettable experience. We had an amazing Valentine’s experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone. - Dennis

We came to Ivy Asia Leeds last night for my birthday, the manager was absolutely brilliant with us. I have a nut allergy and we only eat halal meat, we haven’t been before so we didn’t quite know what to order - he helped us with this and recommended what we might like taking into account our dietary requirements.. his service was impeccable & made the whole experience a lot more enjoyable👌🏽

We love this place. The food, the vibe, the cocktails. 5* Sunday set samurai menu was excellent value as well.

Great place, mega ambience...great quality

What a lovely place. Nicest meal I have had for a while. And the desert was to die for

sarah our hostess was amazing. food fabulous

Exquisite experience- restaurant and food was a top quality experience - this isn’t somewhere to simply eat it is a theatre of culinary genius - and staff by far exceeded expectations. The experience made you feel you were being served by friends and allies not simply waiting staff- amazing all round. I worked for 12 months on the QE2 cruise ship and more exclusive Seabourne Sun in my younger days renowned for premier service and I feel tonight’s experiance exceeded these standards, my favourite restaurant before tonight was novikov in Mayfair and never thought that would be topped but tonight’s experience eclipsed that with the fabulous staff

Amazing Experience 👏 Taster menu is a great way to explore the various delicious dishes.

Beautiful place, fantastic atmosphere, very courteous service, generous portions, and the presentation of the dishes left a great impression. Total delight and an amazing experience. I will definitely return there. FULL RECOMMENDATION.

Beautiful, vibrant, opulent premises. Wonderful food. Impeccable table service. We had a really good time. The ambience is relaxed and welcoming. Would recommend asking for a booth when reserving for larger parties. The position of our table for 6 was the only downside, too much foot traffic and close to bathrooms. Would have preferred a nicer table but did not want to fuss. Really lovely and attentive staff. We went for the Ivy Experience Set Menu - just lovely ♡♡♡

The atmosphere is amazing, one of the most beautiful restaurants ive seen, the food was brilliant and the service is exceptional

Definitely felt it was not worth the hype. Had better Asian cuisine from a takeaway or down china town. Especially for the eye watering prices there deliver. Glad we had a voucher as for 2 people the near £100 meal did not live up to expectations. Food wise, sub par. Staff cannot fault. Very attentive, lovely and welcoming. Interior, absolute wonder. Love the jade style flooring and the decedent decorations that surround. Just the food let the place down as I was really looking forward to it.

What a experience staff and food 5 star would highly recommend and go again thank you

exceptional and healthy and good food. highly recommended.

What a fantastic place.will be going again try practicing with chop sticks before you go this would make it more authentic try it you won't be disappointed

Called in for lunch today. Wonderful hospitality and stunning interior. The food and cocktail were delicious. Will definitely be returning.

Beautifully decorated. Wants to be 5* in everything. Not being Asian we didn't really know what to order so probably chose some dishes badly. Service is impeccable. We went on a Monday so a quieter night so the atmosphere was low key. Worth a trip to make up your own mind.

The honest Kind Sufesticated Hansome White boy waiter “ Made our experience From the americas To Love this Beauty of a Nation you Have … made us see how amazing Your kingdom is “. Thank You … Im still eating the left over at 5 am Ilove it … need more salt on the mash Hehe he

Amazing food and desserts, good service by Ollie

Had a fantastic time , very friendly, great advice on dishes, food is amazing, absolutely loved it .

How can I love mainstream consumer Saturday night fare in bloody Leeds of all places? Well, I did. The staff was truly fabulous, wine list was to die for, seriously, I'd be struggling to buy what we drank at their prices. I loved it. Thank you. My write-up won't drive customers, but it will flag an amazing night out.

Lovely ambience, great service and very tasty food.

Best Asian meal we have had outside of China

Probably our favourite restaurant, why you may ask? As soon as you enter you are inn a different place. The decor is stunning and when you walk upstairs the floor and trees are beautiful. We choose the experience menu at £48 per head and had a series of delicious food. Cocktails were around £12. Total for 3 including tip was £188. Only criticism was my drink was knocked over when the stunning dessert came out (doughnuts and ice cream on dry ice) and they didn't offer to replace. I had to ask the next waiter who in fairness did replace it. The samurai in the toilet though left us laughing. Highly recommended!

Came here for a valentines special dinner with my partner and it was the best! Our experience was made perfect by our server Lerry. The recommended samurai dessert he provided was spectacular and the entire experience and expertise he provided made the entire experience here amazing. May more people be served by him and overall enjoy the delicious food and amazing restaurant like we did. 11/10 unforgettable dinner!

Lunch time Meal deal good value although drinks rather expensive

It was a Fantastic fusion flavour as we celebrated our friend birthday at The Ivy Asia in Leeds, located in Leeds's Victoria Quarter. The private dinning experience in The Buddha Room was the perfect setting for our intimate group of 18 people. We arrived at the tranquil setting with gold buddhas welcoming us and the majestic Yoshino Cherry Tree engulfing one corner of the room. The dishes was delightful as the menu featured pan-Asian classics with a twist. My favorite was the yellow tail sashimi for starters and the salmon for mains! Not to mention the deserts, that my friend made into his own (self made mochi stuffed doughnuts). ;) This was definitely a night to remember and I would love to try their other menus. A must try when visiting Leeds!!

I was completely blown away by the quality of the food! Finally a viral restaurant that’s more than just the looks.

I had a lovely time, food was nice, service was nice, location is absolutely stunning. I feel with the service they have a very strict code to go on, so it ends up lacking character, and feels 'painted on' rather than genuine. I'd 100% go again, it totally has not put me off. The surprise in the gents bathroom is a bit much

More about the atmosphere than the food. Some stand-out decor but the food is average and there is better asian food to be found elsewhere in Leeds without the bells and whistles. Staff are helpful, but there are so many of them it's was a little hard to find the 'correct' person to take an order. If atmosphere and experience is your thing, you won't be disappointed but foodies should look elsewhere.

Visited on a Saturday night booked for 7.30pm. Food was delicious and service very attentive. However the loud & intrusive dance music spoilt the evening, making conversation difficult & being out of place - reading through reviews a common complaint

Great food. Absolutely bonkers ( in a good way) decor

We went of lunchtime and had fantastic food

Lovely service and great vibe. Sheaka looked after us all night. We will be back again

Sheaka was very hospitable, we had a great time! Will be coming back very soon :) 10/10 host.

Absolutely superb. Beautiful restaurant. Staff were outstanding, so helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. We had the Lunar New Year two course lunch and it was fabulous. My sister said her prawn toast was the best she has ever had. Plenty of food, superb quality and presentation. Great cocktails too. Fabulous atmosphere. Would highly recommend but make sure you book!

Loved it! Fabulous food, superb service & relaxing atmosphere. Went for mid week lunch, restaurant not too busy but busy enough to create good atmosphere. We had the premium experience menu for two, it was a delight for the palette & enjoyed a delicious bottle or two of Chinin Blanc. Great value, would definitely visit again. Highly recommend.

This is a great addition to Leeds and in my opinion, outshines its sister restaurant, The Ivy. From the decor to the superb food and quality service, its a total win win. My only negative is that the background noise has been too loud on the odd occasion. I've visited four or five times and never been disappointed. Today's visit we enjoyed the set menu offer which was very good and reasonably priced.

Lovely food great atmosphere I would happily go again 5 stars.Keep up the good work.

We were part of a birthday celebration here in January and it was just fabulous. Wonderful decor and food. Particularly the staff made all the difference… friendly, engaging and a particular mention to Jasmine and Shakar who were just gorgeous. They were very attentive ensuring that food and drink preferences were attended to with a smile and great humour. Thank you so much to all, we had a great night at Ivy Asia, Leeds :)

Had an amazing experience here tonight for mine and my partners six year anniversary. Everything was perfect from the service to the drinks and food. Bartender Kane and Waiter George were exceptionally helpful and knowledgable about their role and their menus. Would absolutely recommend this place to everyone. We will be back soon!

A huge thank you to all the staff for making our experience so special—it was flawless from start to finish. We chose the £60 taster menu, and it was exceptional value for money. The portions were generous, beautifully presented without being pretentious, and every dish was perfectly executed. The cod was every bit as incredible as everyone says, and our boy’s child meal—a generous portion of rice and salmon alongside a huge serving of sushi—was fantastic value for money. The staff were attentive, professional, and even took the time to wish my partner a happy birthday, which was a lovely touch. We left feeling satisfied and genuinely impressed. It was an outstanding dining experience, and we’ll definitely be back! Phil Corker and Jasmine Slingsby

This place is truly art 🎨 This restaurant is in the TOP 3 restaurants I have EVER been to for sure. The attention to detail in decor is ridiculously good and food was some of the best I have ever tried. The aroma the food and drinks bring you, the presentation of small dishes with the mesmerising noodles, succulent beef and tasty cocktails were all marvellous. The staff are trained so well from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, and one of the only places you feel you have underpaid on service charge. The food is not overpriced too, with options regularly on set menus which can help new guests at this restaurant if they are unsure what to try. Also, The Ivy app is very cool too, so ensure you pick up the points on the app as you finish your meals which helps to redeem some of the money off future bills.

Still the same, year after year! Fantastic!

We had a lovely lunch at Ivy Asia. The lunch set menu was exceptional, easily 10/10. For dessert, the warm passion fruit doughnuts were absolutely delicious. While the service was good, it was a bit slow.

Visited the restaurant during the Christmas period, in a group of six. Having dined at the restaurant before as a couple, unfortunately the experience was not as good. Firstly, the table was not great. Positioned in front of the ladies toilets and a busy thorough fare for the team. We selected the set menu, thinking it would be easier for a table of 6. The food on the whole was very good, however, the curry arrived without rice and had to be requested. When it did arrive, it was served in a tiny bowl for two to share. Overall the tables positioning and some delays on the food service resulted in the experience not being as good as expected. I am likely to return, but not as a group booking.

It was my first visit & it was amazing. The staff were all super friendly, knowledgeable about products, and good with recommendations. Two staff members stood out with excellent customer service, Simran and Charlie.

Really nice restaurant with good food and great service

Amazing decor plus a fun menu. The staff are extremely attentive and you will love the experience they deliver. As a group of 4, all of us really enjoyed our visit and the ambiance in this delightful, high-end venue.

First experience at Ivy Asia this summer. Love the decor, service is good, food delicious, but the music was really too loud with a more of a club atmosphere, great for later in the evening but we ate at about 8pm and it was impossible to chat. Staff kindly turned the music down as we seemed to be seated under the speaker. Better experience after that but it did rather spoil the beginning.

Took my cousin for dinner on Friday the workers were really friendly got ourselves a table for two ordered the small explorer meal for £48 but wen the bill came it was £138 which l feel like was a scam

Went to this fabulous restaurant yesterday. The food was the best i have ever tasted and beautifully presented. atmosphere and service outstanding. A big thank you to Jasminder, who was so attentive and kind! we were celebrating my end of radiotherapy treatment, she was aware of this and brought out a dessert with a congratulations chocolate. There were several beautiful touches of kindness. Jasminder and her manager made this occasion so memorable… I will definitely be coming back ❤️

The best place for Asian food. Great value for the quality.

The bar staff was very friendly, know his drinks well. Waited awhile for our table but the atmosphere was amazing. This was my 2nd viait

Visited today Tuesday 9th May 2023, Dec looked after us. What an amazing experience. The food made our mouths explode....decent portions, not a lot of choice, but shat was offered was excellent. Great service fron Dec, he really knew his stuff,, and made us feel very welcome. Great customer service can make or break an experience. Dec excelled and made the experience. 10/10.

I’ve always been a fan of Ivy Asia but unfortunately their quality has gone downhill as of late. We visited today, asked for two cokes and were served completely flat drinks. Informed the staff who very kindly and promptly replaced them only for the replacements to be just as flat. They tasted exactly like they’d been poured out of a big 2L bottle. I ordered the miso cod which has always been my go to, normally it’s served in a beautiful domed leaf, seasoned to perfection but today it was bland and just served on a plain white plate with a side of sauce. The massaman curry again, was pretty bland. On the plus side the service from the waiting staff was just as efficient and friendly as always. Considering a trip to Ivy will set you back at least £120 for two people, you’d expect them to maintain a high quality but unfortunately after being loyal and happy customers for a few years, today was extremely disappointing.

Definitely not worth the price but if you’re not too bothered about the quality of food and just want a posh night out it’s ok.

Fantastically decorated. Attentive staff and quick service. Food was absolutely beautiful. Will definitely return next time I'm in Leeds.

Finally I went to this place for my birthday, the service was awesome, the price is fine for this type of place, but you need to book it as it gets very busy. Ok so the food, we ordered many dishes and they were very nice, excellent place with a nice range of dishes, very fresh, but personally I would reduce some of the mint from the sea bass dish as it's very overpowering. The only thing I could fault was there were no draught beers on only bottles. I recommend this place.

The food was lovely and the staff where brilliant

The venue and service are excellent (although be aware they add a 12.5% service charge to your bill for that). The food however was disappointing and very underwhelming. We went for the premium festive experience which is £60 per person, you don't get loads but I suppose just enough to not leave still hungry. I was waiting to go 'wow' when I ate something but it didn't happen. The wagyu beef starter with truffle just tasted weird and not nice at all, the rest of the dishes were just OK. Wouldn't go back again for a bill of just over £140 with no drinks (apart from a bottle of still water at £5).

Food was amazing, served by Ollie who was very helpful and walked us through the menu with extensive knowledge. Came over often to check on us and how we were getting on even though it was so busy when we were eating. 10/10 service.

Lovely food and service but music too loud and a little chilly later on...

We were on a coach trip and just wanted a drink went to this restaurant and it is stunning. The bar staff were brilliant and so friendly put you at ease straight away. Next trip to Leeds will def go there Thought it was too posh for us but they were brilliant and made us welcome. Thank you so much x

An absolutely lovely evening. Food was excellent as was the service and Sarah was very attentive and friendly. Our fist time but definitely not our last thank you .

Loved our first visit to Ivy Asia; the food, the service, the decor and the music all make for a unique dining experience. As with all Ivy restaurants, the staff are professional and our server had some fun interaction with us which was great! We had the dining experience and the food is first class and we had to take some dessert home with us as there was so much food. It was good value though and we didn’t want to waste any! We’ve told our friends about Ivy Asia and how good it was, you won’t be disappointed when you visit.

What a great place. Unbelievable decor..it's worth going for the floor alone!!! The staff are brilliant: friendly, happy and helpful and the food is out if this world

Very impressive decor, and a nice welcome. We were a few minutes late but still we had to wait for our table. Once we got seated we were assigned a very attentive waiter who was very friendly and very keen to please, but was hard to hear over the loud thumping music. We ordered, and the service was very quick. The food was very nice, everything we ate was delicious, but we both felt it wasn't really worth the price tag. Overall very nice, but the price puts it up against some of the best restaurants in Leeds and it isn't as good.

The food is wonderful. all the staff from reception the bar and the servers are brilliant I would recommend the lvy Asia leeds

Exceptional dining experience thank you!

Great food and atmosfere but sticky table.

£87.13 for 2 Sunday dinners . We got frozen Yorkshire pudding and frozen potatoes that you buy from Morrison’s freezer place warmed up . Normally it’s fresh this was a joke sorry I never like to complain but that is taking the money off people that’s not work £20 . I will call again as normally food is fresh but ever serve me warmed up food again and I’ll pull the chef and you . As I feel like I’ve been laughed at with this service.

The afternoon tea is an interesting concept and the amount and variety meant that we can try a bit of different things which is nice way of spending the afternoon especially when the weather is a bit gloomy with days getting darker earlier.

We were here for a joint Birthday Celebration. Firstly the entrance is very opulent. As the name suggests the decor reminiscent of a Chinese dynasty inspired decor with beautifully lit floors and subtle lighting. This was my first time to the Ivy Asia so after hearing lots of good things about the restaurant I was expecting great things. The upstairs restaurant was amazing with a beautifully lit green floor, and soft lighting. The service was excellent, and the staff were always on hand to top up the wine glasses. The food was very nice but looking forward to trying other dishes in the future. The atmosphere was interesting too. Albeit, the music a little loud, but all good. We all had a good night. Big thank you to the staff for looking after us on this social occasion. Highly recommended.

The service was poor – we had booked a table for five and when we got to the table, it was two tables which they then asked if we wanted them pushing together – of course we did! We had the experience menu but the dishes were not explained as they came out. When I asked if they could explain the dishes, the waiter awkwardly gave me a brief explanation looking at me and ignoring the rest of the table. The music isn’t ideal, I understand they are trying to appeal to younger demographic but when you can’t hear the conversation from the person sitting opposite, the music is probably too loud. The food was okay but certainly doesn’t live up to what you would expect from an Ivy restaurant. I would suggest they need to spend more money on training their staff than lighting their floor. And the life-size figure they have standing at the urinal was just plain weird.

Booked a table but when we arrived the table wasn’t ready and we were told to wait in a queue in the lobby. Any decent restaurant would welcome you in and ask you to wait in the bar. Very poor welcome. We left and went to a proper restaurant where they treat the customers properly.

We went to The Ivy for breakfast. Couldn't fault it at all. Was quite surprised how reasonable the breakfast was compared to other places we had been. There was an extensive menu to choose from. 3 of us had the full English which was too big for me to finish and the other person had eggs benedict. It was all served nice and hot on beautiful crockery and lovely finishing touches to the table. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend if you want breakfast somewhere a little bit classy.

We had the dragon set lunch menu. Great price at £19.95. Good selection to choose from the food was delicious. Nice cocktails. Service was on point. Really colourful, vibrant restaurant. Will return to try more of the menu.
