The Ivy Asia Cardiff

Went here as a big group for dinner and Chu gave us the best service ever! He was so attentive with drinks and food making sure everything was alright which probably isn’t easy for a group of 15+. Rhi the manager was also fantastic as we had allergies on the table and she was incredible in making sure we weren’t left out. Highly recommend and great for gluten free!

I'm extremely disappointed in this restaurant. The quality of the food is not at level you would expect for the supposed calibre of the establishment. The food I must describe as 'subpar' and the service was inadequate. One example was my request for a simple diet coke 3 times. The drink finally arrived after 30 minutes. Two dishes were left uneaten due to the poor quality. It was clear that one of the sushi dishes were not fresh. My wife is celiac and cannot eat Gluten. When we enquired about their steaks being cooked, the response was quite a shock... "The meats are not prepares on site, they are marinated in their London restaurant and shipped to the Cardiff restaurant". I was utterly astounded by this comment. I have never know such a highly regarded restaurant to not prepare their ingredients fresh in their own kitchen. I find this appalling! Needless to say, we won't be visiting again.
