"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."

"I used to be a loyal patron, but I was quite disappointed when I paid £9 for a rice dish that only had 2 prawns. It felt like I could have easily prepared it at home for much less. I mentioned my concerns when I ordered 3 dishes, specifically asking for a decent amount of prawns, and I was assured they would meet my request. Unfortunately, they didn 't follow through on their promise. My daughters and I used to frequent this place, but this experience has led us to reconsider our choice. Please consider improving the quality and quantity of your dishes.Please take this feedback into account for future improvements RESPONSE TO YOUR REPLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I understand your concern, and I appreciate your apology for not meeting the expected standard in your prawn dishes. It 's reassuring to know that your prawn dishes should include 4 king prawns, and it may have been an unintentional mistake. However, I won 't email you to resolve this issue. I 've experienced this problem multiple times, with the most recent occurrence just a few days ago when my daughter and I ordered the same dish, and the prawns were once again insufficient. While one mistake can be forgiven, a total of 5 incorrect dishes within a week suggests a recurring issue. We value our hard-earned money just as much as you do, and we hope for better experiences in the future. This experience has left us with no choice but to say, NEVER AGAIN."

"I am busy preparing to leave for my honeymoon today, but we had such an extraordinary experience that I had to take a break from laundry, packing and cleaning to get a review out. When I checked in last night, I noticed that Oaka only had one review. My husband is a pub geek, which means that I am now a pub geek by marriage. We went on a mid week pub crawl in Kennington last night, and as we left the house, I was mentioning my hunger. Chris recalled that Oaka (our second stop on the tour) had food, so on the way to Kennington, we looked up the menu online. We didn't even get to the mains, and had already decided on several things from the bar menu (Gap glam) that we wanted. As we were on a pub crawl, we started off with a pint. The selection was vast. Our usual trend is for Chris to select two and let me try them and decide which I'd like. Usually he prefers the other one, so it works out. I chose the JHB as my favourite, and really enjoyed it. One thing to note on this section is that Oaka does 1/3 (such a cute little baby glass) and 2/3 pints. We ordered the Vegetarian Gap glam platter for two, which came with crispy spiced aubergines, tempura vegetables, thai spring rolls and curried pumpkin gyoza. Two sauces came on the side for dipping a sweet chili sauce with peanuts and a wasabi soy sauce. We also got an order of thai fries. Everything was very good. Crazy good. When we were done eating (everything was gone) we were sad that there wasn't more. We were full, but still wanted more. I think that says something. Can't wait to go back. But right now... I better get back to honeymoon prep!"
