The starter of scallops and prawns was the best I have ever had. The ambience was lovely even though it was quiet. The Xmas tree and lighting made it cosy and welcoming. Everything looked immaculately clean, bright and luxurious. My mum is 86 and this is her third visit this year. She only wants to come here now if eating out. As I always am with her, that suits me fine.

We had a wonderful experience at The Ivy Asia in Leeds. The sushi was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented and full of flavour. The staff were fantastic, so friendly, attentive and welcoming, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Everything was delicious and we couldn’t fault a thing. A fabulous restaurant and a lovely experience from start to finish. Would definitely recommend and look forward to visiting again

It was an amazing night! Really tasty food, good drinks and service. It was super busy so the atmosphere was really good but not so busy that you weren’t getting the right attention! Also, that dessert was incredible, thank you, it was amazing!
