The Ivy Asia St Paul's

I visited this restaurant for my friend’s birthday dinner, where she had booked a private dining room, and the whole experience was amazing! The decor is stylish and very cool, creating a great ambiance for a special night out. The staff were attentive and provided excellent service throughout the night. We had a set menu, and as a vegetarian, I was happy to see plenty of delicious options. My personal favorites were the king oyster gyoza and the kimchi kakiage (deep-fried kimchi). It’s definitely on the pricier side, but for a special occasion, it’s completely worth it. Highly recommend!

We came here on a Saturday night for a friend’s birthday dinner. The place itself is absolutely beautiful - very exquisite and unique. The food was decent. I particularly enjoyed the crispy fried tiger prawns. However, the service could definitely be improved. We had to wait quite a while for our desserts, which were forgotten about, and we had to remind the staff. In the end, they kindly gave them to us on the house due to the delay. Another issue was the closing time. Although it says 2 a.m online, around 1:10 a.m we were rushed to leave, which made the end of the night feel a bit uncomfortable. There was even a male staff member entering the ladies restroom to hurry people along, which felt inappropriate - it should have been handled by a female staff member.

I love this restaurant, and every time I’m in London I make sure to dine here. This time I came with friends for dinner, and once again it didn’t disappoint. We had the edamame to start, then the Prawn Tempura Roll (good), California Roll (very good), Shiitake Gyoza (also very good), and the Gochujang Glazed Chicken — which was really delicious. The Robatayaki Wagyu Beef was amazing, with a perfect crispy edge and tender inside. The Black Cod Miso was really delicious, and the Chilli Noodles were good as well. Our waitress was very attentive and helped us choose dishes that matched our preferences, which we really appreciated.
