    Food experience menu was lovely but pricey. Spices on the food certainly provided experience of Asian food which I could not replicate but mainly vegetables

    We really enjoyed our night at the Ivy Asia Cardiff however there was one element of the meal that was not quite right We ordered the lobster duck rice which was described as spicy on the menu however it was too spicy to enjoy. My wife and I were celebrating Song krahn as she is Thai as such we are used to eating spicy foods. The level on this dish this time was too much though. I mentioned it to the server who simply smiled and walked away. This did not spoilt the evening it is just a minor error

    Absolutely blown away by how amazing the food was. We had the ultimate experience taster and it was fantastic. The whole experience from arrival to departure was brilliant. All round one of the best meals I've ever had. The staff were very tentative topping up water and delivery of service but didn't keep coming to the table asking how we were every bite of food. It's a very organised setup with all the staff knowing who you are without needing to ask. Will definitely be going back, the whole dining experience was a night out in it's self.

    Excellent food. Service was very slow, 35 min wait for tap water. Wine arrived after our starters. Very noisy. The food was amazing though and we'd go back.
