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.

    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.

    We used to love this place but goodness was our meal last night awful. Ordered drinks and my Pisco Sour was absurdly sweet. Went to the bar to ask for it to be sour as the name suggests and they just put extra lemon juice in rather than remaking it. Beef and pork ribs were ok. Sushi apps were fine. Salmon teriyaki was burnt beyond recognition and under a pile of very odd add ons. Rather than comp us the fish they offered dessert which I hate. (You know as well as I do that dessert is less value - cheap move.) But our guest wanted dessert so we relented. Service was awful. Constantly had to flag people down. Everyone was new so any question required going to someone else to ask. Really bad overall and will not be back.
