Flesh & Buns

Flesh & Buns Covent Garden is a sanctuary below the bustling streets of Seven Dials. Leave London at the door, and experience Japanese Izakaya hospitality.

A long-term favourite for fans of Japanese cuisine, Flesh & Buns is where unlimited pillowy, steaming bao buns meet home-smoked, robata-grilled fillings. We make our food from scratch and serve up generous portions, designed to share.

Relaxed and intimate, sink into a booth or pull up a stool at our high tables, and let us pour you a glass of wine.

The restaurant is in the heart of the Theatre District, and our Express Omakase menu is designed to offer the perfect bite for before a show.

The restaurant is a short walk from Covent Garden, Tottenham Court Road, Charing Cross and Leicester Square stations.
