    Wontons & Poppadoms and Prawn Tempura were very nice from the set menu. However the Wok fried Pork belly was a disappointment with hardly any pork. We also had the Wok fried Lobster & Duck fried rice at £29.95. There was lots of rice but hardly any lobster which was a bit over cooked. The venue is so nice as is the staff and service. But value for money as far as the food is concerned is lacking. The £52 bottle of wine was nice!

    Service was fantastic to start and then fell off a cliff when they swapped over shifts which is a shame. 3rd time of going, it’s a great atmosphere and sense of occasion but needs consistency. Also not enough loos in the ladies so my wife was queueing which you don’t expect in a restaurant.
    The Ivy Asia, GuildfordResponded 6 days ago
    Dear Charles, Thank you for your feedback and for visiting us again. We're glad you enjoyed the atmosphere but sorry to hear the service dipped and about the wait for the ladies’ facilities. Your comments are appreciated and will be shared with the team as we work to improve consistency. We hope to welcome you back again soon to restore your faith in us.

    Throughly enjoyed dining at the ivyasia in Guildford today. We had the premium dining experience , priced at £60 per head (there were two of us) We had a couple of coffees and bottle of sparkling water. This plus the service charge brought the total bill to just over £152. Was it worth it ……. Yes , I think it was. Beautiful restaurant, attentive staff and the food was very good indeed.

    We had a lovely Birthday dinner and really enjoyed ourselves, will definitely return and recommend to friends. Although our pre-dinner drinks at bar upstairs didn't work as was too busy with dinner having bar snack menu and we couldn't get served.

    Incredible food. Slightly overpriced and service isn’t as good as expected from an Ivy restaurant - might just have been bad luck or timing. Either way, we had a great time and will definitely return.

    Dear Michelle, Thank you for your feedback. We're so pleased you enjoyed the food and had a great time with us. We're sorry to hear the service didn’t quite meet expectations on this occasion — it may well have been an off moment, but we’ll certainly take your comments on board.

    Starters were lovely, puddings were fine but we didn’t enjoy them as much as the starters. Greeting on arrival was very nice, service at the start was ok but once our dessert was ordered then we seemed to be forgotten about. Dessert took ages, asked for coffee with dessert and it had gone cold once it arrived, drinks we ordered had to be chased and still took ages. Disappointing end to the meal.
    The Ivy Asia, GuildfordResponded 6 days ago
    Dear Nicola, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the starters and the warm welcome on arrival. We're very sorry the experience fell short toward the end of your meal — especially with delays and the service dipping after dessert was ordered. This isn’t the standard we aim for, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Your comments will be shared with the team so we can improve. We hope to welcome you back to restore your faith in us
