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 Covent Garden

Lots of different things on the menu.  They also have a pre or post theater prix fixe menu.
Food is hot and delicious.  I recommend bringing friends and trying different things.  The mains don't look they are a lot of food but it was filling!  The pork belly was great!

Really tasty relaxed dining with good service. The food is delicious, the octopus was not to my taste though, it was a little chewy, but to be honest we could have done without that dish.

We had the three course dinner and was so stuffed. Don’t be fooled by the words small plate!

Would highly recommend and especially since it’s been such a long since I’ve had such a smiley, welcoming service in a popular restaurant.

Highly recommend and go with an empty stomach! Will be back!

Came here for a birthday meal, we go the calamari, Korean wings and Tempur prawns as the started which was really nice apart from the calamari which was very salty. For our main I got the boa buns but the sauce that's came with it did not go which put me off my meal. My friend got the poke done which they said was really good which I wish I had gotten instead.
This place does get very busy so I would book in advance. Staff are also very friendly

This is a great restaurant for if you're a bun fan the atmosphere is very authentic and they have lovely staff too.

As for the food it was delicious! 😃

This is a good place for a birthday 🎂, date or catch up with friends. The sound levels are fine for talking and the location is easy to get to from local stations.

A hidden gem!

Went to this place on a Sunday, they have a 3-course menu for £26 which includes a starter, main and dessert which offers decent value in central London. The Korean chicken wings are crispy and flavoursome, however, the fish in the ceviche is not the freshest and lacks flavour. They also ran out of their crispy duck leg buns before 6 pm which was quite disappointing, however, the pork piglet belly was so tender and delicious! Desserts were warming and tasty as well.

The restaurant was nice and laid back and the service was attentive.
