Part of the Ivy Asia group, this restaurant brings its signature blend of pan-Asian dining and theatrical design to the Irish capital. It’s a striking spot, with a bold aesthetic that sets the stage for an experience that’s as much about the surroundings as it is about the food.
The menu is rooted in Asian flavours, offering a mix of small plates, sushi, sashimi, and larger dishes designed to share. Expect a focus on fresh, vibrant ingredients and a variety of cooking styles that range from raw to grilled and fried. The sushi and sashimi selections are a highlight, with dishes crafted to showcase the quality of the fish. Beyond that, the menu includes a range of hot dishes, with options that cater to a variety of tastes and preferences. There’s also a dedicated dessert menu for those with a sweet tooth.
The interior is unapologetically opulent, with a jade-green onyx floor that runs throughout the space, illuminated by a canopy of cherry blossom trees. Decorative gold accents and striking artworks add to the dramatic setting. The restaurant is designed to impress, making it well-suited to celebratory meals, special occasions, or simply a night out with a sense of occasion. The bar area, with its own distinct style, is a destination in itself for pre-dinner drinks or a standalone visit.
