Everything here is good. In particular, I found remarkable the veggie bun and sweet custard egg bun . A must try if you are a fan of bun .

They do some serious buns - the custard egg one u cannot miss. The tea house downstairs is a bar serving chinese fusion drinks and bar snacks .

Kostas

Tasty main dishes and sides. Tea is great too (tried green tea ) downstairs. A Chinese friend told me the custard buns are some of the best he ever had. A bit pricey maybe but quality is good.

Great variety of bao buns , the char siu pork and the custard ones were amazing. Sadly, the lamb and chicken ones weren't as good. Overcrowded and tiny space, you have to wait on a long queue.

bun house is the real deal, trust me. their buns are amazing. I'm deeply in love with chocolate bun , custard egg bun , chicken bun and their "fries " (spoiler alert: not made from potatoes at all)

The 'Tea Room ' downstairs is worth a trip at least once. Fancy cocktails (not cheap ) and small plates , lots of vegetarian options but all a bit forgettable.

The buns are delicious, the chocolate-pig blood desert bun is an absolute marvel. It's also quite cheap (2.5£ per bun ). The place is lovely but quite small

Very good pork buns and probably best sweet custard bun I've ever had! The middle was so oozey that I couldn't even take a photo bc my hands were so messy. Yum!

New location, same amazing buns . Pork probably best for me

The pig’s blood and chocolate combo is the stuff of X-rated pudding pilgrimages. Add some ‘fries ’ (deep-fried duck tongues ) too. Has takeaway counter

The buns upstairs were great on a previous visit, but my experience today eating in downstairs was far from stellar. Everything I had was surprisingly bland and expensive . Stick to the upstairs!

The pig buns (pork buns ) were great. Definitely try the custard buns .

Joe Montes

All of the meat buns are great. Buns are super light and fluffy. Well priced as well .

Buns : My favorite is the mushroom , then the pork , then the custard . Can’t get myself to like the others.

Delicious buns and fasts service in Soho. You can’t go wrong.

Martin Jonasson

Great pork buns . Perfect for a quick snack on the go.

Ashley Chan

Tried almost all the buns offered and the standouts were the chicken and custard buns . The rest were okay, a bit too little filling and too much bun . The lamb meat was terrible.

Sam Garson

Great buns and pickles , interesting ingredients and good vibe.

Yoonie S

Great for a tasty quick snack on the go!

Savory buns are really disappointing and expensive . Don’t bother. The custard bun on the other hand is ????????

Phil Wain

Ok but overpriced. The pickles and the vegetable bun are very good

Looks good but doesn’t taste good!
