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.

    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

    Had an amazing time at Flesh and Buns weekend brunch. The staff at the Oxford Circus restaurant couldn’t have been more helpful or accommodating. We will definitely be coming back for the amazing service and food.
