The Ivy Asia, Brighton

I recommend this place. The food is so delicious and high quality and the decoration and atmosphere was amazing. I guess is one the best restaurant in Brighton! We had pork belly and Lamb curry both so good . The staff also charming and friendly. We will come back whenever we visit this city

Amazing place, decor, buzz & food - we had the set lunch menu £19.95 and the portions were a good size surprising as we’d expected small - every dish was exceptional other than, sadly, the salt and pepper beef fillet (£4.50 supplement )with ginger noodles contained chilli which wasn’t stated on the menu, making the dish far to spicy to enjoy - this is from someone who eats wasabi!!!

We had a lovely lunch at the Ivy Asia to celebrate a birthday. Not only was the food excellent but the service delivered by the team was the best I've ever experienced. Very friendly, personable, polite, and a pleasure to engage with. The team's warmth and personalities were fantastic, it really was exceptional customer experience. Each member of the team acknowledged the birthday girl and wished her a great day. They also brought her food/drinks out first, and made an extra effort to make the day a special one. To top it off, an unexpected lot candle mini dessert was presented which was just wonderful! The overall experience was just amazing, the decorations and ambience, the presentation of the dishes and cocktails and even the toilets were remarkable! A truly wonderful occasion.

Been waiting to try the black and cod for over a year finally managed to get there highly recommend taster menu for two service and decor was absolutely exquisite. Food was awesome but definitely be back big thank you Minty and Blanca

The Ivy Asia is always a favourite of mine, and the Ivy Asia of Brighton, as expected, did not disappoint. Wonderful atmosphere, some of the best Asian food you can find that is extremely tasty with high quality ingredients. The staff, waiters, and everyone in general is very kind and hospitable. Slightly on the expensive side for dining, but in my opinion it’s very much worth it. They are accommodating to allergies and food preferences too! Adore this restaurant and will definitely be returning! I recommend it to others.

Had a lovely lunch here and the food was excellent. The oriental decor is beautiful and the waitress told us that the absolutely stunning green agate floor cost £1m but I'm not sure if that's true!? Loved everything apart from the service charge of over £26 that was added to our bill!

Been to this restaurant a good few times and love everything about it , food is just mouth watering, deco beautiful & service spot on atmosphere is really fab can't wait to visit again

Just had the most fantastic lunch at Ivy Asia Brighton. The fabulous food was only surpassed by the brilliantly friendly service we received from Izzi. Highly recommended & we will definitely be back soon !

What a lovely experience, food was amazing and service from Minty was exceptional! She was patient, thoughtful and allergy conscious and made our lunch even more wonderful! Thank you for a fantastic time at Ivy Asia Brighton!

We had a fantastic meal at the Ivy Asia in Brighton. Francesco was very attentive to our needs, explained the menu clearly and the food was really delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone having a special occasion!

From the moment we walked through the door, every member of staff we encountered was welcoming and friendly. We were shown to our table straight away, despite being early, and we didn’t have to wait too long before our order was taken. And the food… wow, the food was fantastic; the selection, flavours, quality, and quantity (good-sized portions!). When dessert time arrived, a little something extra was delivered to say ‘Happy Birthday’, which was lovely. So, from arrival to departure, with Libby as our main server, the whole experience was amazing. Thank you, The Ivy Asia Brighton.

An Amazing Experience. The Staff & Service were impeccable. The Food was Amazing as was the Presentation. The Decor. The Flooring! Live Music. Ambience. It has it All.. 109% Recommended

We visited to celebrate our anniversary and had the most wonderful evening. Everything was perfect from start to finish, but what truly made it special was the service we received from Duncan. He went above and beyond to make us feel looked after, and his attention to detail and kindness gave us more than just a meal — he gave us a memory we’ll treasure. Thank you, Duncan, for making our anniversary unforgettable!

Incredible place, absolutely stunning inside, delicious food and great service. Well worth a visit.

Loved every minute from walking in through the door, magical decor, great choices of Asian foods, staff in attendance throughout, efficient and friendly. Delicious flavoursome dishes to eat at ease, noise levels low ( important to me) and an unexpected birthday dessert gift.. a big thank you to all the staff 🥰

We dined here for a birthday and the lady who served us food in a blue jacket was attentive and answered all the questions we had, i think her name was Holly(?). The experience itself was really enjoyable with a nice atmosphere.

Popped in to have a solo meal during the festive time! Cheerful decor inside to enjoy and savour contemporary Asian cuisine!

Wonderful lunch at the Ivy Asia for my daughter in laws birthday. The whole experience was amazing from the greeting and attention from when you arrive to the service and food we received

We had our wedding anniversary there today and food was amazing,like always,the oriental decor is beautiful and stunning.The waiters are wonderful,they are very polite,friendly and very professional.I was there in September also to celebrate my birthday and we loved it.We'll be back soon.

I've been to The Ivy previously but wasn't too impressed. My wife and I decided to give The Ivy Asia a try, and it was miles better. The venue and decor are stunning. Beautifully laid out with lovely art pieces. Great service, the waitresses were really friendly and helpful. We went for the Experience menu with an additional Thai green chicken curry and mocktails, which were really nice. The food was served quickly, nicely presented, and tasted amazing. Especially the chickpea curry. The Experience menu also comes with a dessert of cinnamon doughnuts with chocolate sauce and ice cream, which again tasted lovely. Potions sizes are good, and by the end, we were both stuffed. As we attended quite late at night and we were one of the only few left in the restaurant, it was nice to sit and relax and marvel at the beautiful decor inside. The cost is quite expensive but for the whole experience, it's worth the money. I would definitely recommend it, especially for special occasions.

What a magical place! This has got to be one of the most memorable eating establishments we visited during our 5 day stay at Brighton. The menu is surprisingly varied, with something for everyone. The quality is excellent and everything is presented beautifully. The service is top tier and the decor is very Brighton, with an Art Deco twist. Half of our party was of the opinion that this is the number 1 fine dining experience in Brighton. You might too!

We enjoyed a lovely bottle of champagne for my daughter’s birthday. Sebastian behind the bar was first class. Kept our glasses full and was very attentive. 10/10

My beautiful boyfriend took me to the ivy asia for my birthday. The food was absolutely delicious and the cocktails were so good 😍 The staff were so lovely and made my birthday really special 🎉

Excellent experience at Ivy Asia! The staff were friendly, attentive, and professional, making us feel welcome from start to finish. Great food, but the outstanding service really made the visit memorable. Highly recommend!

Superb food, atmosphere and service. Menu seems to cater for everyone. There are some great vegetarian/vegan picks too which include roasted aubergine miso, asparagus maki, kimchi kakiage, chickpea curry, tofu dishes, and those are just scratching at the surface. Highly recommended

Had a wonderful experience at Ivy Asia, Jamie made us feel special & was a mind reader for any needs. My kids & I loved the dry ice magic of their mains! The presentation was as spectacular as the taste. We will come again and I can’t recommend enough, beautiful surroundings, great service, great food.

I visited the Ivy Asia in Brighton today and had an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was truly delicious, beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly prepared with care and attention to detail. What really elevated the visit, however, was the exceptional service from the staff and the General Manager. She was vivacious, supportive and highly professional, and her presence set the tone for the entire restaurant. They all ensured everything ran smoothly and that every guest received a genuine five-star experience. It is rare to encounter such strong leadership on the floor, that reflects in all of the team working within the service and it made the visit feel both relaxed and special. I would highly recommend Ivy Asia to anyone looking for excellent food, outstanding service and an all-round memorable dining experience. I will certainly be returning.

My husband and I had a lovely meal, choosing from the set menu. The decor is amazing! Just beautiful. The ladies toilets were so nice I took photos. The service was immaculate and our waiter Francesco was polite and attentive. We will definitely be back to the Ivy Asia.

13 of us had the most wonderful night last night, seated in the private dining room and looked after by the wonderful Jess - nothing was too much trouble and she made the night extra special. The food was delicious, everything within the extensive banquet was served hot, beautifully presented and sooooo tasty. With various dishes appearing throughout the evening allowing us to graze, it gave us the long drawn out dining experience we hoped for. From sashimi to noodles, prawns, beef, duck and curry with some truly gorgeous desserts - those doughnuts 💖 it was all magnificent. Cocktails were lovely and glasses replinishrd quickly - it was an exceptional visit and we will return again soon. One tiny critique, we miss the Thai green curry cocktail - please bring it back! 🥺

This was our first visit to Ivy Asia. The arrival was dealt with smoothly by Kira and despite arriving 10 minutes early, we were shown straight to our table. Our server was Luke who dealt with our orders and choice of wine, very impressively. Overall, we were very satisfied with the food, decor and general atmosphere. We never felt rushed at any point, unlike some other establishments. I would recommend this to friends as a high-end dining experience. Forget the cost, enjoy the food, service and decor. Thank-you Luke & Kira!

My partner and I went for my birthday, and we had a lovely time! It was quite crowded as it was a Saturday night, but we were efficiently seated and service was quick and polite. Food was delicious as well, we ordered the California roll, wagyu beef and chicken. The wagyu was incredible, melted in my mouth! Unfortunately, we were slightly rushed as we were asked to leave due to the table being booked after us. Our server Jess was great though, and offered us seating at the sushi bar and some complimentary dessert to make up for having to rush us! Dessert was great too, crême brulee and samurai were well presented and delicious! Francesco served us our dessert and he was great as well! Would definitely recommend this place for any special occasions!!

It was busy today being half term. Obviously, having staffing problems means they were trying to accommodate people with fewer staff to share the load. Nobody’s fault and they shouldn’t suffer poor reviews for facts of life. We loved our lunch. The food was excellent (as always) and Francesco worked like a Trojan to make sure that our food arrived and it was satisfactory. He was brilliant.

My first time here and I must say, the interior's quite fancy and really does give the atmosphere a rather premium feel. The food on the other hand feels a bit more like a standard affair and this is reflected in the price which was quite fair in my humble opinion. Definitely a place to take one's date to, it really is quite spectacular inside. FYI the service was quite good considering how busy they were.

An amazing food experience. We were sharing multiple dishes between a few people and could not be happier. Everything tasted truly amazing. Our waiter was an absolute sweetheart. Unfortunately the waiting times for the food were little too long. But overall great. Would come back anytime.

Francesco looked after us so well for our daughter’s graduation lunch. Friendly, reliable and paced just right- thank you

First the bad The desserts were eye candy. But lacked any kind of taste enjoyment. The sides were overpriced for what they were. The server made some errors. Now the Meh The pork belly squares were OK, not inspiring. Personally I prefer my pork belly crispy on one side, not on 6 sides. As with all Ivy restaurants you are a little too close to the next table. The restrooms, whilst clean and well presented are not only deep downstairs, they are shared with the Ivy next door, making them busy. The Kimchi and pork dumplings whilst pleasant had little evidence of Kimchi when it came to taste. Lastly the good The Miso Cod was worth the £31. A dish one will find hard to forget. The house wines are to be recommended, as is the wine list. The salmon sashimi was beautifully presented and prepared. The decor is amazing.and the whole place has a positive vibe. Tip One.got the distinct impression that you were going to have the less preferred seating unless you spoke up. The exchange of glances between the three receptionist girls reinforced this. The not speaking up and being shoved in the corner is true of most Ivy restaurants, not the usual experience for us. Would I go.again? No. For two starters, mains and desserts plus 3 glasses of medium priced red the bill came to just shy of £200. The cod (who knew cod could taste so good) and the decor were great, if the rest lived up to that standard I would go back. If £200 means nothing to you, then it's an interesting experience. But if your into haute cuisine this is more Disney than serious dining.

The restaurant is completely beautiful! We ate of their week day set menu, price was reasonable! Our starters and desert was lovely! My only complaint would be for the main, I had the duck rice bowl, I thought it was a little greasy and not nearly enough duck but otherwise was lovely, drinks were nice, service was good, worth a visit just for the atmosphere…

I have to say this was a very disappointing experience for a relatively high value meal. So the positive is the place looks amazing. The floor is remarkable and the decor what a 1980's Rock band would view as Japanese art. No subtlety all colour. A bit like the food. It was nice to have a, somewhat confusing mix, of live violin and dance music and the place was clean and really well done. Then the welcome. There were 3 staff on the desk, one using a computer. None of them said hello. It took a 4th member of staff to arrive before anyone asked if we had a booking and this pretty much set the tone for a very average if not below average experience. We had booked and pointed out we had a gluten allergy, if that is you then don't bother with this restaurant. We then had three staff tell us that we had to use the qr code to look at allergens. All good. That was not the problem there was nothing much on there. Including Sashimi. So we wanted to know if they could serve the sashimi without the sauce. NO was the answer. The food was sacrosanct and therefore no changes to any meal were allowed. Then it was explained to us that Asian food was a blend of flavours and sauces and difficult to classify and remove allergans. Now this is true. However having being talked down to three times I felt I got it. I did not want to explain I had been to Japan, Thailand and countless asian restaurants in many countries and had issues, but resolved. Makes me feel the food was pre prepared to an extreme. Backed up by the stale popadoms and the fact the recipies could not be adjusted. Then there was the fact there were so many staff it was hard to negotiate the restaurant, they were falling over themselves to not serve. The wonderful removal of your bottle of wine so that it was not cluttering the table is a good thing in a well run restaurant but if you have to continually get someones attention to get a refil not so god. I have run out os space so cannot vent further. Never Again.

Amazing interiors and really good service (one small order mix up). Space wise tables for 2 squeezed so close to each others that you almost elbow guests sitting next to you and need to squeeze between tables to sit down. Not really something you expect from fine dining restaurant. Food wise unfortunately it was just average compared to other Asian cusine restaurants you can go to in Brighton. Just bland flavour dishes, maybe chef had bad day?

The food was absolutely sensational and came out quickly despite being busy. Huge credit to the kitchen. We had a table booked for 7.30pm, we weren’t able to sit down until 8.10pm. No complimentary beverage or compensation towards the bill offered for this. Needed to remind about drinks twice, and a couple of dishes. Sloppy, considering the level of service we received at The Ivy in Covent Garden. The decor and atmosphere is excellent. Live DJ is as great, set a cool vibe and the clientele all a sensible volume.
