Flesh & Buns was the first restaurant in London dedicated to steamed bao and Japanese drinking food. Expect fluffy steamed buns with gutsy fillings, plus loads more plates to share. This is unusual, yet addictive, Japanese-inspired food served in a Izakaya setting.

    Cozy restaurant, but wasn’t too impressed with the food. Had scollops for a starter and pork ribs as a main. Lacked flavour.

    It was my second time to this location of the Flesh&Buns to celebrate my friend’s birthday and the food was just as good as I remember. Especially the starter pork rip was to die for. Service was great and attentive and it wasn’t too in your face. A little complementary ice-cream for my friend was a very nice and appreciative touch.

    It was ok. Tried this branch after visiting the Covent Garden ones many times and I don’t think I’ll return back to this one.

    Very nice experience. Japanese Fried Chicken is a must. Eat it with the spicy mayo and chilli oil. I also really liked the cubic potato fries. Excellent and fast service with a nice ambience. Suitable both for a chill night out with friends as well as a date night.
