Used to love it here… the food gone downhill massively, sashimi was old and brown on edges, presentation terrible with use of old damaged garnish that had died ! Lazy and poor from the chefs… service was ok but the staff were not very well trained. Will not be going back to pay those prices anymore
The Ivy Asia, GuildfordResponded 2 days ago
Hi Andrew, Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your recent experience did not meet your expectations, especially regarding the food quality and presentation. This is certainly not the standard we aim to uphold. We also appreciate your comments about the service and will address the training to improve. Your feedback is invaluable, and we hope you might reconsider giving us another chance in the future.

Whilst the staff were lovely, cant fault them at all, I was just a little disappointed with the food. It was nice, but we were expecting just a little bit more on the flavours.

We sat outside and it was a beautiful evening so that was a real treat. The food was delicious but quite expensive. Sadly, the service was poor. We kept having to ask for things like drinks and plates. New course were brought out before our plates had been cleared from the last. We had to ask them to take them as there was no room. Also, there was a DJ which was fine but then a saxophonist starting playing and it was very loud and intrusive. Difficult to talk to our friends. We didn’t want to listen to music we wanted to be able to speak to our friends and enjoy the food.
