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.

    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.

    The service at this branch was outstanding. The waitress and waiters went above and beyond to ensure that my group were welcomed and that we had a wonderful time. Thank you! The food was fresh and tasted good.
