About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Good for business meals
Flesh & Buns Oxford Circus is a stunning modern Japanese restaurant, a stone’s throw from Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street. The restaurant is lush with greenery, with a beautiful bar area and a wall of waving lucky cats. 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.

Flesh & Buns is the perfect spot for a date night or a catch up with friends. We can also cater for groups of up to 40 in our beautiful sunken private dining room. It’s perfect for hosting birthday celebrations, special events and corporate lunches.

The restaurant is a short walk from Oxford Circus, Tottenham Court Road and Goodge Street stations.

    Tasty food. Somewhat limited and repetitive menu (a lot of sticky pork). Service good but rather slow. Overall a good venue.
