    Crispy pork belly is the best combination to the buns from my experiences. The duck is a bit dry to my taste. The kobe beef is flavourful, however still chewy to be a good quality kobe beef

    Starters: the fried squid (great), the chips'n'dip (good), and the korean chicken wings (SO GOOD). For mains, the duck leg (YUM), and the half-chicken (SO GOOD). The buns were great too. We recommend.

    One of my favourite places to eat in London. Amazing food. Try the sushi and yellow tail ceviche with coriander and chili granité. Duck and Buns is great. As is pork belly. And lamb. And chicken!

    Love Love Love this place! Cool underground dining with a great atmosphere. The staff are super friendly and the service is pretty quick. The hot chicken wings are to die for here! Pork belly is fab!

    One of my favourite restaurants in London - EVERYTHING is good. Must-haves include the soft-shell crab, the salmon roll, and for the mains the duck and the pork belly!

    By the makers of Bone Daddies, Flesh & Buns serves Chinese-style hirata buns with your choice of fleshy fillings. Yummy buns, but fillings needs some work. Great selection of drinks.

    Infusion Japanese; Although it's casual, the food is absolutely great! good quality and well presented. Try the buns with your choice of meat, yellowtail sashimi and leave space for dessert.

    Awesome and fun place for every occasion! Food is delicious. Pork belly in particular is to die for. And don't get me started on the dessert 🙌

    Great food, however, the service definitely needs improvement. We've re not pretentious brunchers but the poor attention to the customer definitely affected our experience.

    Sunday brunch has two options: the costlier one is £10 extra and gets you champagne instead of prosecco, and greater choices of dishes. Vegetarian / vegan options available on request.

    The yellowtail sashimi is great. More yellowtail Ceviche (spicy) but yummy. Pair with the Naruto-Tai - Nama Ginjo Sake. Spectacular spicy tongue pogo! Promise!

    Food was delicious, especially the soft shell crab. Mains were likewise very tasty, I had salmon and the light fluffy buns were beautiful. Price was just too much though!! Even inc unlimited prosecco

    S'mores were over rated but worth a try if it's your first time. Chocolate fondue and matcha ice cream is heavenly, great hot and cold duo!

    Sunday Brunch is one of the signature flesh & bun dishes plus unlimited small plates and prosecco and a cocktail & dessert. Service not fantastic but we held onto our table for longer than advertised.

    Amazing buns. Great part deux of Bone Daddies. Nice sake, great service, and excellent food. Don't leave without getting the S'more as dessert, nothing like your own bonfire. Full review... Read more

    Me and my friend both had the sweet aubergine- it was really nice and had a lovely texture. However- I recommend splitting- it was really heavy and they don't do take away.

    I just can't even explain how delicious. Sashimi set, Seabass buns and the s'mores. (We had other stuff but that was the best of it) Won't lie it's a bit expensive, but super deliciousness

    You'd never think to order it but the grilled corn starter is great!! Try and get a group of 4 or more then you can book a table or booth. Sitting at the bar is quite noisy.

    I really enjoyed my visit. Super soft buns and loads of perfectly cooked meat (flesh). We had confit duck leg and fried sole. Yum (although confusing 2 buns per person limit).

    Korean wings were great along with the salmon starter and duck flesh and bun. Smores were so good too!

    Duck and pork delish. Sweet corn awesome. Wings: great but SPICY. Service: pretty poor. FYI: if you're a party of two you'll be on a weird shared table far from your date. Better for 3 or more.

    Choose between pork or duck? Get the pork - sublime! Tap water is standard on tables which is nice. Mixed ceviche is not worth the money. S'mores are pricey but perfect for a special dessert

    Really delicious food and can't beat the smores dessert on fire and the table but beware of the long shared table in the middle- could barely hear my date!

    There's a great value express menu for before 6pm and after 10pm. 2 courses/3 courses and a drink £19/£22. Frozen yuzu margaritas ask the way!

    3 or 4 small plates and 1 meat and two buns per person is perfect. Try the Korean wings and fried squid in the small plates. Excellent.

    The aubergine buns are delicious and make you're own smores was cool. The carnivores in our party weren't wowed by any of their dishes.

    The Niigata beer is great — sort of like a mix between an ale and a wheat beer.

    Went for the wagyu teriyaki and duck which was great. Wings, soft shell crab and squid were definitely tasty. S'mores were overrated. Got caught up I presentation for dessert but not worth it.

    Korean chicken wings are delicious but almost impossible to eat. Buns themselves are OK, braised ox tail and kimchi fillings were bland and not a big fan of self-assembly in a restaurant.
