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.

    I didn’t find the servers super switched on. Never came to our table to ask how were the meals, got an order wrong and then forgot to reorder when we asked to replace it and then laughed with the chef while one of our party was annoyed about the situation. The meal was free which was nice.

    Really good food, the sushi was excellent and the festive menu was great value. Lots of different things and a lot of food! Some of the staff have attitude and do not come across as being happy to help however the ambience is great

    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.
