The Ivy Asia Leeds in Leeds

We have visited twice in recent months for two family celebrations. On our second visit we had the Ivy experience costing £60 per person and thoroughly enjoyed the food. However we did not pay the 12 .5 % service charge. Mainly because we feel the drinks are very over priced. £33 for an ok bottle of Pinot Grigio and £46 and £35 for 2 bottles of sake 250 ml. We were going to have cocktails but £40 for a margarita is way out of our price range. We will probably return but not anytime soon.

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.

Food / service/ excellent..Staff 5🌟...will be back asap...

Doesn't matter how many times we visit Ivy Asia every visit is fantastic, from the decor to the fantastic staff. Every visit the food is perfect. Tasty, warm and fresh. After trying most of the food we have our favourites and keep returning. Yummy Spring rolls, smoked duck. Beef or chicken. Tempura veg 100% for flavour and presentation All the staff dressed so amazing with a service to match. Nothing is out of place, nothing is too much trouble. My favourite venue

Amazing Food, In love with the Interior and Staff were very attractive.

The food at the Ivy Asia in Leeds is and always has been fantastic, but the quality of service has slipped disappointingly. Our cocktail, food and wine menus were unceremoniously dumped on the table. The cocktails took forever to arrive and we had to ask a few times for the wine. They tried to serve multiple dishes all at once for four people on a very small table. There simply wasn’t room. The waitress repeatedly interrupted our conversations to clear the table rather than wait for an opportune moment. The head waiter, despite my best efforts to engage with him really needs to crack a smile and converse. Great food, but please don’t forget about service and experience.

Matyas was the most delightful host we’ve ever had. Incredible dining experience which in my opinion, wasn’t that expensive , yet it utterly stupendous. Would absolutely adore to come back or if they could open a chain in Newcastle.

Visited for my wife’s birthday which was noted from my booking on arrival which was nice. We were shown to our table quickly and talked through the menu and how much we should order etc. The waitress we had was very nice but the service wasn’t ‘amazing’ as you would expect from a ‘high end’ restaurant but it other than that no complaints about the staff it was just fine. Atmosphere is fantastic the ivy Asia looks great for an Instagram photo all very pretty but very little substance and that brings us to the food… I was expecting SOOOOOO much more than what we got! Not in terms of portion sizes which I think were actually pretty good we had 2 appetisers 1 maki roll, 4 small plates and one large plate. However the quality was so far off what we expected. Neither of us could pick one dish that we could say was amazing and that we would have to come back for. We expected Tattu level food and it was far from it !

Absolutely over-priced for what it is. X3 of us paid over £200.00; ordered half a chicken & only the breast came. Very disappointing food & price. We came out hungry. Too loud an atmosphere & too dark in there. Overall a very poor experience

I'm not a big eater and usually leave a lot on my plate. I did NOT leave anything on my plate at this restaurant. it was so good that I had to wipe the sauce with noodles just to make sure I got every drop.

Chloe and Sarah have offered us the best customer service. Had a wonderful night. Hats off to both girls.

Chloe and Sarah was nothing but help

Sarah and Chloe in the Buddah room have been absolutely amazing tonight, the service they’ve both given us has been nothing short of exceptional. Well done ladies, absolute credit to the Ivy Asia!

Fantastic service from Chloe and Sarah! Their service was spot on, I couldn’t fault it at all!

Sarah and. Chloe were fantastic! They were chatty informative and completely attentive

Chloe and Sarah were absolutely brilliant. We hired the private dining room and we were served fantastically all evening. Thankyou both for the incredible service and evening!

Sarah and Chloe were amazing! The best hosts you could ask for! We hired out the Buddha room and it was the most incredible service! Top girls if you are looking for a fab night! They look after you when you are more excited for still water than white wine ❤️

Outstanding in every way! From the minute you arrive to when you leave. Service excellent (Fran was exceptional) it was my wife's birthday and everyone went out of their way to ensure she felt special. Food and drink, amazing, arrived promptly and so well presented. The Samurai in the gents loo did make me jump though 😂 Thank you all, highly recommended and we'll be back!

Very slow and haphanded service. Food was excellent although some elements cold as waiting for accompanying dishes.

The experience package was fantastic, the service and kindness of the staff was unmatched and the wide range of menu options cater to all our different tastes! Really appreciated the complementary drinks and dessert which made my graduation dinner very special!

Amazing service from Larry at Ivy Asia - give him promotion 5 stars!!!

Amazing food and amazing service and atmosphere

Amazing!! Service, food, atmosphere, all exquisite! A table of 5 ladies out for lunch, we had a brilliant time. We were a little shocked at the price of a bottle of prosecco after ordering 3! The price of a bottle of water was ridiculous too and we didn't agree with adding 12.5% service charge to the bill. Overall it was a fantastic experience!

A place that you must visit, the Ivy has a high level of service at all of their locations and the Leeds Asia part of the chain does not disappoint. We visited for my partners birthday and we were able to get a table on a Saturday afternoon without booking ahead. I would advise that you partake in the higher rate Ivy experience menu as I believe it showcases the high standard if repeatability which this brand offers. The Black Cod is a dish which you will remember.

Great food, excellent service..tre pricey..BUT, the appalling doof doof loud noise, disguised as music, apparent to keep diners awake, was dreadful, and ruined the evening

Great food atmosphere and floor

We just love it , the food, the service & the atmosphere & it never disappoints, everytime consistently great.

Loved my champagne Afternoon tea for 2 birthday treat yesterday. Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was beautifully cooked and presented. Everything clean and pretty. Thank you.

The service and atmosphere were so good. The food was delicious ( not all but it depends on your taste bud).

This place is simply amazing in so many ways. We ordered the vegetarian experience, and we truly got an amazing, immersive and artistic experience from this 5 course meal. Everything was delicious and so beautifully displayed and everything considered, I believe the price was good. Once we finished a course, the staff were quick to bring out the next course and served at our pace when we started feeling full, which was very nice of them. The cocktails were artistic and tasty too. My only critique is that the dessert could’ve been more impressive, as we were given ice cream and churro balls. The atmosphere is like non other, it’s truly like being transported to a different place, from the flooring to the walls to the ceiling and bar, everything has been carefully thought out and designed to perfection. The bathrooms are lovely too, and scented so nicely. This is a perfect place to come for a celebration, we celebrated a birthday, and truly was an unforgettable experience like none other I’ve been to before. The place is so luxurious, with staff dressed very smart and according to theme, and upon arrival they kindly take your coat into a clock room which is a very nice touch, everyone is so friendly and nice. I recommend this place enough and I’ll definitely be back!

It was great. We wanted to visit Ivy Asia only to discover it was next door 😂🤣

Superb service and very good food..the place looks astonishing

Vibrant decor but food didn't live up to expectations and too much upselling from waiters

This is a visually stunning restaurant with wow factor. However, scratch underneath and a little more attention to detail is needed. I came at night when it first opened and it was impressive. But, my second visit 18 months later during the day threw light on some tired looking uniforms and tables. The staff were all wearing uniforms that were dirty and full of food and the uniforms look worn. The tables look scratched and worn. We were sat right under the waiter's station and my partner was covered in broken glass when they knocked a glass off the top of the station. The staff made a half-hearted attempt to clear the glass but left chunks on the seats and didn't offer to move us, or really aplogise. The staff kept standing in front of our table with their backs to our table and one member kept coughing, sniffing and wiping his nose on his hand at the station. The food is good, but for a few small plates, one large plate between us and no alcohol for two people did not justify the shocking price tag of £160. Like most chains, this trades on the name but in reality, does not live up to the hype. Overpriced. I won't go back.

Came here for my graduation meal and the experience was perfect. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous, and the food arrived quickly and was some of the most delicious food I’ve ever had. The highlight of the meal was the staff, they were so friendly and attentive - I can’t speak highly enough of them. Wonderful experience and will be returning.

Had ok meal. When bill came they'd added 1 extra starter and charged over £200 for a bottle of Saki. Once queried they removed £113 from bill however no explanation or apology or goodwill gesture. Felt ripped off and angry.

Stunning decor , has the wow factor, greeted to by friendly staff, foods delicious. Waiters however looked miserable, no smile and some looked like they didn’t wanna be there.

We visited yesterday for lunch. I had the set menu. A wonderful selection of dishes. Tastefully put together. I didn’t need the extra sides but it was a nice add on. Well worth a visit.

Impeccable attentive service (we were delighted with our server Jemmimah) in the stunning design-led interior of the restaurant, and we enjoyed some of the most delicious food I've eaten in a long time. Ideal for special occasions or a more casual lunch. Booking highly advisable.

Can get very busy and the tables are too close. The food was ok. Seems the first buzz has gone.

A very good experience and lunch.

This was a great experience from the moment we walked in to sitting down and chatting to eating our food. Everything was wonderful and enjoyed it all. As we went for a birthday they also gave us a little extra birthday dessert which was wonderful. We were served by Armani who was amazing and they checked on us throughout our meal and answered any questions we had about the food and recommended us some good choices as it was our first time there. Would definitely recommend to go and we will be going back too 🩵

Fantastic food and amazing decor.

Really nice place, nice food, nice atmosphere, only one thing bother me: rude attitude from your waitress. Change that

All the suggestions that Tanvi give us where really good. I eat the best desert ever that dark chocolat mousse is just something from heaven 😋

It is an Instagram restaurant which means it’s pretentious and beautiful but the fact, the food is so rubbish for the price. We’ve been once, this time we come here with a big hope that food will get better but sadly no. We had a big platter and things were missing, the waiter had to keep bringing them, bless him! So check when you order any platters. And omg! Noodles! My 10 yrs daughter can make so much better noodles! But you know.. Sometimes we just forget about good food but still can enjoy some drinks, atmosphere and good company. Staff are well trained.

We visited May 17th and the staff (host? man in blazer) was so lovely. Great service and food.

Great food and atmosphere. However the staff are even better. Unfortunately, I did not get the gentleman’s name in the picture but the service we received from him was amazing. He was friendly, professional and nothing was too much trouble.

If you like Asian food this place is amazing, excellent service and friendly staff

Loved the deco and atmosphere but sadly the food wasn't for me. The menu was confusing. I like to make dining out a simple experience.

I highly recommend it because the decoration was amazing! Also, the serves were great! DELICIOUS food! It deserves 5 stars. 👍🏽

Pretty restaurant with really good food and great service. Gave us a free dessert for our anniversary 😊

We celebrated our anniversary at The Ivy Asia, and it was amazing. The decor was stunning, and our waitress Tanvi was lovely, providing excellent recommendations. Outstanding food, lovely atmosphere, and impeccable service made our evening special. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

We went for my friend and I’s birthday. My husband and I arrived and were in aw at the decor. We were shown to the bar while we waited for my friend. We studied the menu which seemed a little confusing but the waitress told us most people order either four small dishes or two small and one main. The service was really good. My husband’s vegetarian so he ordered the mushroom gyozas but didn’t like any of the other options. He only had one main option. My friend and I ordered the spicy lobster and duck rice dish. I was so confused by it. I expected it to taste spicy and everything tasted of pickles. There was some weird slimy pickle thing in it that was unpleasant. I’ve eaten at the Ivy before and was underwhelmed by the food in the past but thought this might be better. Not what I expected for £28. A bowl of weird pickle rice.

Food mediocre, very disappointed as previous visit was amazing. Wont be returning.

Just a start note this was a function so we was on the 2nd floor not the restaurant. The restaurant and dinning room was so very well presented. Beautiful decorations and settings. You get a high class feel to the place. The waiters were very good kept checking on us and clearing glasses and plates. Now the food. Amazing. I ate some food I’d never even tried before. The like pea/bean starter was addictive. The chicken skewers again the best. The steak and the popcorn shrimp, the avocado it was all just amazing, there nothing made me not want to try it and then try it again. Highly recommended to go at least once in your life I shall be hopefully going again.

Such a great experience - the food was amazing. We will be going back!

The food wasn’t great….. the rice was just chilli & the noodles were just chilli too no flavour and over cooked!! Disappointed and won’t be back. Only giving 2 star because the waiter and bar staff were nice.

The venue was beautiful, the waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable. I had low expectation for the food however I was pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious, well presented and the cocktails were good too.

Enjoyable lunch for a birthday celebration. Very tasty food with lots of flavour. The mocktails were nice too. Service was attentive and they were very good with my allergies. I really enjoyed the music and the dj and the incense

Our waiter Lerry was fantastic, great atmosphere, super friendly, food was delicious, Lerry went above and beyond even took pleanty of photos of our group. Overall, was such a lovely man!

1st visit but will be back. Great service and recomendations from Armani who looked after us and fabulous food. Had the 2 course menu and sweet which was very good value for money. The half chicken main was very tasty. Portions generous and ample.

Great food, atmosphere and service. Can't fault it.

We had a really delicious lunch here with very friendly and helpful service from Armani.

Superb service, excellent food. The food was good the first time I went but I think it’s got better.

An odd experience. Booked for my daughter’s birthday. Arrived 10 mins early to be told my table wasn’t ready. No problem - offered a seat at the bar. Then no time to order a drink before being seated. Very attentive staff. Explained we wanted to drink our cocktails before the starters came but they came rather quickly. Superb food. Then asked if we could wait a little for the main - waitress looked a little shocked but delayed for about 10mins. A nice touch of a free dessert with a candle and we ordered one dessert to share. Then after 95 mins we were told we would have to vacate the table as other people were booked in. We checked the Ts and Cs and it said we were allowed a two hour sitting. We told this to our waitress, she sent over another waiter. Explained to him and another more senior member of staff arrived. He spent ages explaining their point as we did in reply. He finally conceded and we ordered coffees and stayed put. They took a lot off the bill as an apology but we didn’t ask for this. We wanted to be treated with a little more respect. I’ve never experienced that sort of issue before and can’t believe it happened. How they can turn so quickly for superbly attentive service to ‘ can you leave please’ was quite amazing. Never had that in any of the Ivys in London, Harrogate or Brighton. If you’re that worried about timings you need to look at how you run your booking system. I know how busy you are but you won’t be if you upset customers like that.

Bartender who servered us. Angel. What a delight. Clearly a top geezer. Knew his stuff. Very snappy. Excellent spinning.

If I’d never been to the Ivy Asia in London I might have thought the Leeds version was ok, unfortunately it’s like cut down version in comparison. It has the opulent look but the layout is bizarre, prioritising a huge bar area which means there isn’t space for large tables. The small tables means that the food isn’t served with the same flare as the London restaurant. The vast bar combined with pumping tunes actually creates more of a bar atmosphere that a decent restaurant. The food is still good but the menu is greatly reduced, maybe related to the lack of space. It feels like the food is more of a side show and you’re meant to be there to drink. Overall it’s ok, nowhere near the experience of the London restaurant though. I wouldn’t be in a rush to go back.

Beautiful setting, amazing food, fantastic service

The food was excellent as always. The menu has improved from what I remember and was absolutely delicious with lots of great options. The atmosphere was fantastic. For me, I think the only downside was the service, the past couple of times, the service was impeccable but this was not long after it had opened. Not to say the service was bad, but we waited 15 minutes for hoisin sauce and had to ask 2 members of staff for it, meaning one half of the table finished before the other and whilst I was eating the waiter reached across me to clear the table from the person next to me. Other than that, it was a great visit and I’m sure I’ll be returning and it is somewhere that I would recommend.

Booked our second visit for a Birthday celebration which a staff member mentioned as we were seated at our table. The food was very average on this visit, we got a couple of dishes that we had tried before. We noticed the serving amount and quality had changed. The service was poor, I was left without a drink for sometime. We tried numerous times to get the attention of a waiter but finally just requested the bill. Even though I had specified the booking was for a birthday occasion, there was no effort made it make it feel like a special occasion. Very poor experience on this visit unlike our previous visit.

What an absolute delight The Ivy Asia is. Food perfect, staff attentive and the surroundings spectacular. Loved it and will certainly be back.

One of the best places I've dined at. Food and drinks are outstanding. The decor is breathtaking. Highly recommend

The food here was OK but it did not justify the price. I ordered the valentines day menu which was OK but the dessert really left a lot to be desired! The staff were lovely and attentive although we were unfortunately sat in an awkward position near the toilets so we had a lot of foot traffic.

I booked this for my friends 30th birthday. We ordered the champagne blossom tea for two. I had also stated that I was disabled in the booking notes along with it being my friends birthday so they were aware and if I could have a booth rather than a chair due to disability reasons. When we entered we were greeted by a young lady who was on her phone, after taking details she gathered menus and walked us up the stairs. It took me a while due to disability, this could have been avoided as there was a lift but I did not know this till I saw it at the top. We were however placed near the disabled toilets which was good. Although if you do struggling with grip in your hands etc the inner of the disabled toilet door doesn’t actually have a handle just a twist lock. This may be an issue for someone with cerebral palsy for example. The main gentleman we had in the suit was very pleasant and explained all about our experience. The food was fantastic, very fresh and tasty no complaints at all. However, we asked for some extra dipping sauce and it was brought by kitchen staff who didn’t take the opportunity to tell us what it actually was it was just dropped off and she disappeared. The interior design is very cool and I really liked the feather cushions in the booth this was also a great plus for my disability to be comfortable. It was quite bright as we were near the windows this took away from some ambience but would be better in the evening when darker. We were not rushed at all which was lovely and a birthday treat was brought out for my friend and it was a nice touch. Everything was also very clean down to the cutlery. When we were leaving, the lady at the front of house was on her phone again and didn’t even notice us leaving till were walking out the door. It’s a shame as she is the front of house and you can see her as you pass on the street it’s not the best image Overall the food was fantastic, price was okay drinks included were great. If you are disabled parking in JL means you will have to walk a while.

Four of us have just been to The Ivy Asia. A fabulous experience. Firstly, the decor - exotic, interesting and luxurious. The food was delicious and authentic. The whole experience was made even better by our server, Georgia. She was very knowledgeable and interested in the food. She was extremely attentive without being intrusive. We’ll be back!

Our anniversary celebration at Ivy Asia was wonderful overall, but regrettably, one male staff member, who appeared to be in his mid-40s with a bald head, was rather impolite and rude, especially when we inquired about our bill, which dampened our experience for the evening.

Absolutely fantastic experience for the second time. The Ivy Asia is a really good place for food, drink and service. Good prices too, not out of range as some might expect. Dessert was something else, best we've had in a while.

From the extremely warm welcome, to the excellent service from Sophie (?) and Nathaniel, the customer care was on point. Our food and drink were served quickly & efficiently, and every dish was excellent. Stunning interiors with amazing attention to detail. A great luxury dining experience without the snooty edge. Highly recommend for a special occasion, or brunch.

Bloody fantastic the food is 10/10 and the service is brilliant especially Sarah!

An absolutely amazing Birthday meal for the second year running. The food and service were exceptional. Special shout out to Sarah for her patience and service dealing with 4 very merry loud eaters.

Wow, wow, wow. My wife and I decided to book a table for Saturday lunchtime. We booked it just to eat off the menu, but decided to go for the Experience set menu for two. I have never eaten here before and I was more than impressed. Right from the meet and greet lady as we went in. The food was out of this world and the service is second to none. Yes, you are paying for it, but what an experience. Would I go again and would I recommend it. Definitely YES, but I wouldn't want it to loose the first time feeling (if you know what I mean). Thank you The Ivy for a fantastic time. If you like my honest review please follow me as I have a lot more of them and review regularly.

What a lovely atmosphere. Our waitress Georgia was outstanding. Her recommendations made our experience extra special. She made our day. Very funny and just such a lovely girl. Food was amazing and service was outstanding. Will definitely visit again

Second visit here and this time we unfortunately came away disappointed, the starters or small plates were superbly presented and delicious but the mains weren’t good at all, chose the Duck Massaman Curry and it was bland, after a recent visit to Thailand where old ladies knocked these up for £1 on the side of the road that were so complex in flavour they just blew your mind, here it was anything but, no complexity and little flavour, also ordered chilli noodles and these were just simple egg noodles, no heat and no flavour. I think we’d have been fine sticking to the starters but not sure I’d now go again.

There was five of us dining today at lunchtime and you couldn't fault the food, the service and the ambience. Gorgeous 😋

Stunning! I love the decor. This upscale Asian inspired restaurant is elegant, vibrant and sophisticated. It truly wowed me the moment I stepped into the restaurant. The gorgeous dining room is situated upstairs. You can either use the stairs or the elevator to get to this floor. This restaurant is popular. Booking is essential. The bar is also on the same level. Apparently known for their delicious cocktails. I could see myself sitting in the restaurant every day, if I lived in Leeds. Too beautiful! I ordered the Lobster & Duck Fried Rice and a stir fried greens. Both a little salty for me (probably too much seasoning) hence the 4 stars but they were flavourful though. I wish I had time to go back to try out their Lunch Stack and explore other things in the menu. I’ll do that on my next visit to Leeds. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Andrew is a star. Very professional and genuinely polite.

Great looking restaurant. Lovely welcome and great pre dinner drinks. Staff superb. There was a small issue with our ordered food but Andy the section manager really pulled out the stops to make amends and made things 100% for us. Thank you.

Second time here…just as wonderful as we remembered. Cocktails, food and atmosphere were all fantastic. And our waitress, Georgia, was absolutely delightful! One of our favorites in Leeds.

Great food. Helpful concierge's prior to visit. Stuffy chap on the visit making older people wait 10 mins in raing for booking time, then another 10 after. Would give him 2 stars but the 2 ladies I spoke to prior to the visit were exceptional. Thanks to those 2 😊

Celebrated my 40th birthday here as a treat as it looked fancy. Friendly and attentive staff. Waiting service helped us choose the amount to order and we didn’t feel rushed. Service was a little slow as they were busy but it was fine as I just chatted away with my husband to pass the time. Complimentary birthday dessert was a cute gesture. The bar was vibing and my excited husband spotted a Leeds football player. He would want me to type “Leeds Leeds Leeds” 😅

Food was great. staff absolutely brilliant

Really unapproachable wanted to see if a table was available in Leeds surfing the day, wasn’t even able to step foot into the receptions guest area as approached by the ‘bouncer’ who proceeded to inform us that no tables available and closed the door. Really poor service first time going to the ivy Asian and won’t be even contemplating going or trying to book again.

Excellent service from all staff here and we loved the afternoon tea. Loved the iced coffees, too! Thanks Georgia for your hospitality 💫✨

Second time here. It was fabulous on both occasions, always accommodating and pleasant staff. The lady that waited on us was on top form and made our night great. Wonderful food and drinks in a stunning setting. Recommend the cocktail Midnight Treat. Thank you

We were a bit apprehensive on our first visit to the ivy asia. We both had the lunch stack which is not served in the order on the menu but all in one go in reverse order to the menue. But we were pleasantly surprised the chickpea curry was my personal highlight but the odd looking menue really worked every coarse was very tasty and great value for the work gone into this dish . We'll definitely return.

Excellent service, food had a great flavour. Highly recommend the Tuna sashimi - Francheska, provided an exquisite level of service throughout.

Came for a meal over valentines period (Saturday night). The food was amazing, the service was fantastic and we really really enjoyed our visit. Only thing that let it down for me was the music and all the bright colours through the floor, maybe tone that down a bit and the DJ 100% needs to bring it down a level… great music but very loud when you’re trying to have a meal and a conversation

Had a fantastic meal with my wife for valentine's and her birthday. We had the Dragon Experience menu and all the food was really lovely. The black cod was particularly enjoyed. A real treat!

Great food and service, but for a table of 2 they really cram you in next to other people. If you are expecting to have an intimate and private time with your partner be aware you'll be sat just as close to the people on 2 other tables and well within earshot. It's a popular restaurant so I guess this is why they squeeze people in. The food and service was great though.

Took a friend to celebrate her 40th. Had the brunch menu. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Food was delicious 😋
