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.

    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!!

    I went to Flesh & Buns with some friends before the theatre and had the £25 express menu - it was so delicious! The menu is really great value and we loved the unlimited bao buns! Such a joy!

    We had a wonderful dining experience! Everything we ate was absolutely delicious—full of flavor and beautifully prepared. Our server, Enrika and Chetan, recommended a sake for us to try, and we were really impressed. It paired perfectly with our meal and was a great addition to the evening. Great food, excellent service—we’ll definitely be coming back! All servers are great.
