Bone Daddies, the creative team behind the Ramen Bars of the same name have turned their incisive eye to Izakaya-style cooking and even a Japanese inspired Bottomless Brunch.

The mastermind behind Shackfuyu, chef Ross Shonhan, aims to bring a contemporary twist to Japanese food and his influence can be felt across the capital as more and more restaurants turn to fusion food to reflect an increasingly cosmopolitan city. The concept is ‘Western-style Japanese food’, though this isn’t just a half-hearted experiment. Shonhan has the experience and culinary nous to rival a seasoned Japanese cook.

The Bottomless Brunch includes free-flowing white wine, red wine, or Prosecco, plus a welcome cocktail — guests can choose between a Yuzu Kosho Bloody Mary or a Strawberry Bellini. The food menu includes two small plates, one large plate, and dessert. Small plate options range from Edamame and Seared Salmon Sashimi to Korean Fried Wings and Okonomiyaki Prawn Toast. Larger dishes include Iberico Pork Pluma, Beef Fillet, Grilled Salmon, Bibimbap (Chilli Beef or Veg), and a choice of Rabbit, Chicken, or Pork Katsu Curry. Brunch finishes with the signature Kinako French Toast.

They favour a loud, vibrant crowd and blast old school rock throughout the day – quaint, tumbleweed dining this is not. Low-hanging industrial light fittings and dark blue leather upholstery give it a decadent Oriental feel.

Shackfuyu is located on Old Compton Street in Soho, less than five minutes’ walk from Tottenham Court Road and Leicester Square stations, and under ten minutes from Piccadilly Circus.

    Great selection of menu items, we were pleasantly surprised by the serving sizes and flavour profile. The French toast and matcha ice cream is a must have for dessert. The Shack’s spritz was a very nice Japanese take on a classic cocktail. Perfect for a nice warm Summer’s day. The quality of the service was superb, the staff were very friendly.

    We finally got to visit this restaurant after hearing so many great things about it (mostly from Off Menu!). It lived up the hype! The food was excellent and the service was quick, but still friendly. We had a good selection of food and it was all executed perfectly. Great range of flavours and textures. It got quite busy around 5pm on the Saturday so it’s worth booking in advance.

    We were excited to finally try Shack-Fuyu after hearing great things. We booked in advance, and it was packed when we arrived. Between us, we shared: Izakaya - tenderstem broccoli, edamame, wagyu beef tataki, crispy fried squid, Okonomiyaki prawn toast Raw - seared salmon sashimi Hot Stone - sukiyaki wagyu beef, pulled lamb Robata - grilled salmon fillet Dessert - kinako French toast The salmon dishes were the standouts - perfectly cooked and full of flavour. I’m more of a savoury person, but even I loved the French toast. The broccoli and lamb were also really solid picks. Overall, the food was good. Unfortunately, the experience let it down. We were seated next to a loud table who arrived after us but were served first, and they spent the evening shouting across the table. Our drinks took 25 minutes to arrive, and we had to ask multiple times - even though we could see them sitting at the bar. We were also served the wrong dishes more than once and had to chase missing items. At the end, we were even given the wrong bill. I get that it was busy, but the service felt chaotic throughout, with no apology or effort to make up for it. Glad we tried it, but I probably wouldn’t go back. For the price, we expected a better overall experience.
