Best Japanese Restaurants in Bridgend Town Center

After our previous visit, we decided to give the Ivy Asia Cardiff another chance, and we are so glad we did. This experience was completely different and exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel like genuinely valued guests. A special mention goes to Pat, who was absolutely wonderful. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, offering recommendations when we asked and ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Her exceptional service completely turned around our previous negative service experience. The food was outstanding as always. We enjoyed the cucumber, asparagus, and avocado rolls, prawn tempura rolls and rainbow rolls to start, followed by aromatic duck salad and chicken curry. Every dish was so full of flavour that we found ourselves complimenting the chef after every mouthful! We finished with jasmine tea, and I should mention that non-alcoholic cocktails were so tasty and refreshing, especially in that hot day! This visit reminded us why the Ivy Asia has such a great reputation. Our sincere thanks go to the chef for the incredible food and, most importantly, to Pat for making us feel so welcome and ensuring we had such a memorable time. She truly transformed our impression of the restaurant and its services, and we can’t wait to return.

High quality food and drink with pleasant service and tasteful environment.

Practically perfect in every possible way, thank you for a lovely evening

All the food was of exceptional quality and presentation. The unagi was rich and tasty. The gyozo was flavoursome and cooked perfectly. Frankly, this was food to die for. Our welcome was warm and friendly and we were immediately put at ease. This restaurant wins at every level.

Highly recommend. Wonderful food. Excellent drinks. Easy to order and pay.
