In the chic Tunsgate Quarter, this “vibey” pan-Asian has set local tongues wagging since its spring 2022 opening; it’s a “fun place to visit” – the Ivy Asias being even more flamboyant than Richard Caring’s other (brasserie) spin-off chain – and the eclectic mix of Japanese and Chinese inspired dishes is ably abetted by “super serving staff who greet you like their favourite customers”.

Its “enviable position” in the Tunsgate Quarter, a stone’s throw from Guildford cathedral, and the “lack of other decent options locally” helped generate a “stampede” amongst locals to visit this glossy new venue (with trademark illuminated floors) from Richard Caring’s slick pan-Asian spin-off brand when it opened last year. The “fabulously presented sushi” and “lovely atmosphere” won early praise, but there is the odd query regarding the “chunky” prices.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
