The starter, plump prawns and tender scallops were a mix of delicious flavours . The steak arrived cooked exactly to order, with a silky béarnaise that tied everything together. Triple-cooked chips were crisp and perfectly salted, and the creamed spinach added a soft, savory balance. Even the drinks felt carefully composed, with flavors layered, rather than thrown together. Overall, each dish felt precise and thoughtful.

Celebrated my birthday at The Ivy Asia Cardiff and had an amazing time! The venue is beautifully decorated and the staff were wonderful throughout. The crispy squid and chicken gyozas were phenomenal starters, and the Wagyu steak was cooked to perfection. Bringing out birthday mochi with a candle and chocolate plaque at the end was such a lovely touch. 5/5 stars—can't wait to return!
