"First of all, as a regular customer I always choose to sit in the booth. Our booking specified that we had a complimentary Prosecco and booth seat upon reservation. We did not get the booth seats however it did not bother us and we just sat were the hostess accommodated us. After ordering our food, I also asked if they had a portion of fries. The waitress had told me they do sweet potatoes fries and hakasara fries , I ordered the hakasara fries after she told me they were regular french fries with mayo sauce, which I assumed to he sirachi mayo sauce. I also made it clear that I’m vegetarian after she asked if we had an allergy concerns. After eating all our food and the fries, I ordered another portion of the same fries and more sushi. I then proceeded to ask a man who looked like the manager , what was in the sauce as I had never tasted something like that. He then told me it’s fish mayo sauce. I was absolutely furious, as somebody who has not eaten meat and fish for years, it had made me sick to my guy and I had then lost my appetite and mood. Although they apologised, and I appreciate it I believe what the waitress did was careless and not excusable in certain circumstances , considering somebody may have a very severe allergy to fish , unlike in my situation , and would have ended up in hospital. More precautions should be taken to ensure customers know what they are eating, considering the menu is very vague and does not specify. Very disappointed."

"For the love of god, if you like food, don't eat here. I never leave bad reviews, but this place pushed me over the edge. We went on a Monday for the £25 4 course special set menu. The server asked if we wanted it all at once. I said no, we are sharing the courses but want it course by course. It came all at once: the samphire and wakame salad which was just wakame and the only really good dish; the cauliflower poppers which were perfect, except the sickly sweet maybe barbecue sauce maybe ketsup; the dry chicken with lovely mushroom leeks covered by a wasabi peppercorn cream sauce so revolting we literally scraped it off despit our love of wasabi; and the pork belly which would have been delish if not burned. What didn't come was the rice or first course mushroom salad which were delivered after asking only three times. And the mushroom salad was some conction of baby greens and dried mushrooms with a tahini dressing that we could only describe as gross. The entire meal was accompanied by easy listening versions of 70s to 90s hits best belong in a bank elevator and indifferent wait staff. Desperate to leave, and not fond of sweets, I declined the dessert course only to have the (more senior? waiter (who noticed my desperation? pressure me into eating. Nope. I think this might be the first one star I've given... I try to only review what I love but was so amazed by how very terrible the food and service was here I wanted to let others know: not worth your time or money."

"We really enjoyed our meal and time in Flesh Buns. Our waiter Abi or Adi, sorry, I forgot the name) was very friendly and nice. The food was nice too. We had the tasting menu. Great value for money. I love the cocktails I had. One was the Lucky Cat Cocktail amazing and funny presentation) and other was Zen Garden I think), one of the most beautiful cocktails I've ever had I love sweet cocktails). I just didn't really enjoy the vegetables with the nets because they were soaked in vinegar. Even if the dessert could be a bit bigger. The main complaint I would make is that food was brought very quickly so that the service felt a little rushed. We were only halfway our cold appetizers when we got the hot squid and chicken wings. I feel that it would be better to get the hot food when the table is ready with the cold food, so the hot would not get cold. I also mentioned at my booking that this dinner was for my birthday, but that was not mentioned or I did not get a birthday contract. I'm not really sure if this restaurant even makes something for birthdays, so that's okay, I think. Also the food we had was not presented and explained so that I read online what we eat. Another little advice would be to have a less table on the wall tables of 2) because it is a little tricky to sit down without disturbing the tables next to you. I really want to mention the hosts women with green jacket and short hair. She was very positive, attentive, energetic and nice what I think is extremely important because she was the first person we saw when we came in. Overall, I am very pleased with our experience and I think it was a great value for money."
