The Ivy Asia Leeds in Leeds

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

We went of lunchtime and had fantastic food

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 .

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

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

The waiter named Tanvi was really helpful, she explained me what to eat and I loved what she recommended, would definitely visit again and again!

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.

Visited several Ivy restaurants previously, but this was another level. Welcomed by very friendly staff on the door and shown to table (upstiars). Fabulous decor. We opted for the fixed menu, and being a four, we all chose differently. Without exception, each dish was tasty and well presented. Our table waitress was friendly and informative without being pushy to get us to leave despite the restaurant being full (even on a Sunday evening).

We were here to celebrate my 60th Wow!!! It was amazing from start to finish. The staff were all so professional but very approachable. The food was just superb. We had the Ivy Asia experience which it most certainly was. Giorgia our waitress was brilliant as was all the other team member who served us. Thank you for a memorable evening.

Always an amazing dining experience here, the food, cocktails & service are outstanding. Special thanks to Larry our server for making the experience all the more enjoyable !

Yesterday went with friends to get desserts and drinks, i had the green lantern it was a nice cheesecake, however the hit chocolate !!! Was horrible it tasted i like powdered water ! No sign of milk in the hot chocolate , i can say one of the worst hot chocolates ever! But the design of the place is really nice and vibey, however the smell inside isnt the best as well im afraid, very fishy.

Dining at Ivy Asia was a fantastic experience! My favourite place to visit in Leeds. The food is simply outstanding—each dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. The variety in the menu is great, especially great to see halal options available. Highly recommend Ivy Asia for anyone looking to enjoy high-quality, memorable Asian cuisine. A perfect choice for a special night out!

The customer service, attention to detail, decor, presentation and food here is simply exceptional. Our server was knowledgeable and took my gluten allergy seriously (they even added tooth picks labelled “allergy” so what I could eat was clearly labeled). I even got my own soy sauce :) Well worth the wait and pricey date night! Book a res in advance. Can’t wait to go back!

Very nice decor but the music is loud as if you're in a club even though we were there for 5.45pm which isn't late - so it actually ruined the ambience of the place and meant you had to raise your voice to be heard by others. More relaxing ethnic music up to a certain time in the evening would have matched the Asian theme better. The staff were very polite which was good. As for food, the restaurant has many halal options which was nice to see clearly on the online menu. The rice, noodles and warm small plates (like popcorn shrimp and glazed chicken) tasted better than the cold maki rolls (which were similar to store bought sushi unfortunately). The 'rose of the orient' mocktail was meant to have many flavours but it tasted the same as a rubicon lychee fizzy drink so costs more than what you get.

Excellent experience all round. The food was stunning, the staff were attentive, and the surroundings were fabulous and bonkers. A real treat.

Thanks to all the team for making my family celebration last night a success - everything was good but the service was exemplary; friendly, down to earth, warm and welcoming. We all felt at ease but each request was dealt with like you cared. Congratulations to everyone who looked after us.

Lovely set menu , good price too x

It was the perfect birthday meal out. I am so happy to have dined here as everything was fantastic from the moment we walked in and ordered some drinks, the service was fabulous and the food was beautiful 😍 I enjoyed everything ☺️ thank you for such a lovely evening, I will definitely be recommending here and returning soon.

First time visiting and will be back. The restaurant is beautiful, service excellent and food superb. One dish was cool and they replaced it straight away. Took it off the bill too. For men there’s an eerily realistic Samurai in the gents that looks too real. It was our daughter’s birthday and they even gave her a candle. Highly recommend.

The food was good, I really enjoyed the creme brulee pudding and its decent for groups to try lots of different foods. The decoration looked impressive but at closer look many parts were tatty such as ripped wall paper in the toilets. The music is too loud and the lights too dull to see the food and menu properly. The service was very poor. We felt like our server had pretty much forgotten about us and never around when we needed help. The food and drinks took a long time to come and then some of it came out cold. For the price you are paying, you expect so much better. I won't be recommending or rushing back any time soon.

We had the Ivy Asia Experience Menu. Amazing. Food was glorious. Presentation was excellent. Service was first rate. Had a bootle of Chardonnay which was served well, well chilled and glasses kept topped up. Only down side is that it is quite busy (Saturday 5pm) - whilst we were fine tucked in a corner, some tables were tight so diners were being knocked as other people and staff squeezed past - I would have been unimpressed! Also, it can be noisy! But overall still a great experience.

Excellent food, decor and a very high standard of service. Unfortunately the loud thumping club music and punters throwing up in the toilets were somewhat at odds with the premium dining experience (and prices). If I went back back it wouldn’t be a Saturday lunchtime.
