    First time celebrating a pre-anniversary dinner with the Mrs in this establishment. The waiting staff explained the dishes well and we had a really good selection of starters and mains. Not too hungry but the amount we chose and ate - hit the spot. Lovely staff, Great food. Love the decor and ambience. Will definitely dine here again.

    This was our second visit to the Ivy Asia in Cardiff. The food was wonderfully presented but it wasn’t as high quality as our first visit. The tempura prawns were perfect. The glazed chicken was a bit dry as was the duck. The dumplings were a bit soggy. The wine was good but very overpriced. Overall a pleasant experience but I don’t think we’ll be rushing back.

    Excellent food and service in a lovely restaurant. We had the premium tasting menu which was a little expensive for what it was but was but was a lovely experience and we are glad we chose it.
