About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups

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.

    Tasty food. Somewhat limited and repetitive menu (a lot of sticky pork). Service good but rather slow. Overall a good venue.

    Food was ok, enjoyed most of the food. Service was brilliant and drinks were great. Would have been good if the person providing the pairing wine actually said what it was and why it was paired instead of just dropping it off and walking away
