Izakaya pub-style venue with a rock soundtrack, serving steamed buns with meat or seafood fillings

If you’re looking for a restaurant with relaxed vibes and mouth-watering food, Flesh and Buns is a definite shout.

For starters we ordered the Fried Squid (a must if it’s ever on the menu and we didn’t regret it 🤤), the Chicken Yakitori and the Korean Fried Chicken Wings. The sauce on the wings was spicy and scrumptious, and the Chicken Yakitori was flavoured deliciously. As a main, the Salmon Teriyaki initially seemed as if it wouldn’t be very filling but we sure were wrong! The flavoursome salmon steak was cooked perfectly, and served with pickled veg. I ordered the Grilled Aubergine, which was surprisingly good! 
The best thing about the place was the loud but friendly atmosphere, you could tell everyone was having a good time! 👏🏽 Quick note, the chicken is halal!

*only the chicken is halal* Found out that all the chicken served @fleshandbuns and buns is halal. So in went and checked it out. Pictured are the Korean fried chicken wings which where absolutely fantastic. Really sticky and messy but the heat and flavour made these the best things I had. Please not that alcohol and pork is served here, so of course that will not appeal to some people. #food #foodie #foodgasam #foodpic #foodporn #halalfoodguy #halalfood #halal #instagood #instafood #photooftheday #foodreview #review #foodblog #bdsnaps

@fleshandbuns 

The Korean wings were by far some of the best we’ve ever had. Succulent and falling off the bone.  The grilled broccoli is also a must, flavoursome with a slight crunch. For mains, the chicken boas were crisp and tender paired perfectly with the creamy sauce. The salmon was soft and really well cooked with a slightly salty teriyaki sauce and fresh cucumber and lemon.

This place is slightly on the pricier side but definitely worth it and we would highly recommend visiting !

Flesh & Buns

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.

I am angry at myself for not knowing about this place until now! I must have passed by it hundreds of times before.
It is such a lovely izakaya-style restaurant, on the lower ground floor (where there is no phone service sadly), with nice staff, and amazing Japanese food.
Went there with friends during the week without booking in advance and we had no issues finding a table.
They made a mistake with our order, and kindly took one of the dishes off the bill, as well as apologised.
It’s definitely going on my favourites list, and I can’t wait to go back.

Incredible food on all visits, especially the pre-show set menu - really great value and delicious. Would recommend the chips (they’re like square deep fried potatoes - delish!) and also the korean fried chicken bao in particular.

Don’t particularly care for the graphic imagery in the toilets, think it lets the place down and would be inappropriate for children.
