Flesh & Buns

Tuck into authentic Japanese cuisine at Flesh & Buns in Covent Garden.

Inspired by the concept of Izakaya-style dining, the cuisine and atmosphere has a casual, informal feel, making it an ideal spot for socialising with friends.

At the heart of the menu is the signature Flesh & Buns concept. The flesh refers to the succulent meats such as slow-cooked pork belly, crispy duck leg, juicy short ribs and premium Japanese Wagyu steak. The "buns" are soft, fluffy steamed bao served in a build-your-own style with classic Japanese condiments like spicy pickles, miso and tangy plum sauce.

It's not just about the buns though. There's also Japanese raw food and small plates on the menu. Choose from individual portions or beautifully curated sushi platters featuring fresh fish and seafood.

Hungry diners can opt for the Express Omakase menu which offers unlimited bao buns. Other popular choices include weekend brunch, tasting menus and curated cocktail pairings.

It’s a great place for a pre-theatre meal in the West End.
