Serving theatrical drinks and cocktails late into the night alongside a delicious menu of Asian-inspired dishes. The vibrant and playful destination entertains, inspires and excites guests from the moment they step inside.
“The venue itself is stunning. The interior design is completely mind-blowing and creates an incredible atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. If you have a huge appetite, the portion sizes might feel a bit on the smaller side, but it’s actually the perfect excuse to order multiple dishes and try a bit of everything! A special shoutout to our waiter, who was incredibly pleasant and knowledgeable. He gave us excellent recommendations for both the food and the wine pairings. I highly recommend The Ivy Asia for a great dining experience. I'll definitely be back!”
“Celebrated my birthday here at brunch and it was one memorable experience. The decor was a feast for the eyes- so many details and vibrant colours really added to the special feel of the day. We had a lovely view of St Paul's Cathedral which was also a delightful. We were served promptly by Sagar who delivered nothing but friendliness, professionalism and a great service all round. We really enjoyed all of the various dishes we ordered and really appreciated the freshness of the garnish, meatiness of the prawns and the lack of grease in the food! Utterly delightful, would recommend and will be back again.”
“Totally loved the place. Absolute gem! The decor and ambiance are on another level - sophisticated and welcoming. We were quickly seater with reservation. We opted for the set lunch menu, which is great value given the portion sizes and quality. For starters, the King Oyster Shiitake Gyoza was a standout - bursting with umami and perfectly textured. The Keralan vegetarian curry (chickpeas and aubergine) was equally impressive, hitting all the right notes with its spice profile. The staff were attentive, quick, and gave excellent recommendations. Can’t wait to return!”
“We decided to have an upgraded tasting menu. My daughter does not eat prawns and it was disappointing to hear that her prawns could not have been replaced by another dish from vegetarian tasting menu. The waitress said that she can have salad and i can have more prawns… The food was generally good but for some dishes we had to wait quite long. The nice suprise was my daughter got an extra dessert (mochi) as we have been celebrating her graduation”
“Had a really great meal here, but the experience was a bit of a mixed bag due to one service interaction. The food overall was incredible. The Spiced Avocado Crudo was an absolute triumph—packed with flavor. The Roasted Aubergine was another flawless dish; perfectly caramelized with a rich miso glaze and crunchy rice pearls for texture. I only wish I’d ordered it sooner! The mushroom gyoza had a great meaty bite, and the Gochujang chicken was perfectly crisp and moist (though I wasn’t a fan of the mayo). On the sushi side, the asparagus and avocado roll was clean and fresh but I feel it’s not a dish to get again, but the cucumber salad was forgettable. The Tuna Sashimi with yuzu was beautifully tart and actually my favorite flavor profile, but it was a slight letdown because the promised truffle and wasabi were way too subtle. My partner had the Kimchi Kakiage and really enjoyed it. The main downside was an encounter with a lady in a pinkish jacket. When I asked to place an order, she literally sounded like she couldn’t be bothered, she repeated what I asked in a very rude tone which did not sit well with me but promptly got our actual waitress who served us and was lovely through the meal. In my opinion, at these premium prices, front-of-house professionalism should match the high quality of the kitchen. Go for the food (especially the aubergine and crudo), but management needs a lesson in customer service.”
