Flesh & Buns lives up to its name - fluffy steamed bao buns in an authentic Japanese eatery.

The creation of acclaimed chef Ross Shonhan, Flesh & Buns aim to make Japanese food accessible and memorable to everyone. Situated in Covent Garden, Flesh & Buns brings the Izakaya experience to London- an informal Japanese dining experience focused on snacks and drinks.

The 3 course Sunday Brunch at Flesh & Buns has already become something of an institution. A cocktail on arrival is followed by a plethora of small dishes, with choices ranging from Korean fried wings and chicken yakitori, or a mixed sashimi set and softshell crab, depending on which menu you choose.

The titular Flesh and Buns serve as the main course- fluffy bao buns served with the likes of a crispy piglet belly with mustard miso.

Served every Sunday from 12pm-4pm for up to 8 people. Small sharing plates served to the table, one flesh per person and desserts served to the table. Please note that the entire table must choose the same menu. Free flowing prosecco, red wine, white wine.

    I visited this place for my birthday, and it was truly an amazing experience. It was my first time trying bao buns, and they were absolutely immaculate. We ordered the large set, which was more than enough for the three of us. The fish, pork, and beef fillings were all incredibly juicy and flavorful. Although it’s on the pricier side, it’s definitely worth it for the quality and overall experience.

    Oh my goodness. Second time here and the food, experience and service is just as we remembered - 10/10. The Korean Chicken Wings, Wagu Bao Buns and Basque Cheesecake is so unbelievable we go from non-stop talking to absolute silence. A very good sign! Our favourite restaurant and, tonight, Angela was a delight. Thank you!!

    Went for bottomless brunch on Saturday around 3pm, our server Angela was super attentive and kept the prosecco fliwing faster than we could drink. All the courses were delicious and the bao fillings in particular were cooked to perfection crispy skin on the pork and the karage chicken. The pickles and dipping sauces served alongside just made those buns soo good.
