Bun House in City of London, Westminster

Very tasty. We ate on site this time. Service was friendly.

Really cute shop, really delicious food! Went with my kid and he absolutely loved it! Will come back many times I’m sure!

Delicious food. A place with an atmosphere, you have to wait for the food, but it's definitely worth it.

One of my favourites in Chinatown! Their hoisin noodles are stunning, alongside their lamb, beef and custard buns. Love to sit upstairs with friends too and dine in. Service usually goes pretty quick despite its popularity!

A bit pricey not for its food but its service!

Amazing and rapid - chicken and pig buns so fluffy and delicious The most amazing thing was the beef rib in satay Lovely cocktails too which was a surprise

Very friendly staff, good atmosphere and food, plus comfortable, cozy seating (when you can get one, but an effort was made to ensure first come first served). However the menu should have pictures attached since we didn't expect the French Toast to be so small (in picture).

Always a treat coming here, love the custard buns since I was maybe 15

Had a meal here the other day. Service needs improvement as we had to keep on calling the waiters for assistance. Food taste did not meet my expectation. They look nice but do not taste as nice, sorry.

Narrow, and apparently popular, restaurant specializing in sweet wheat buns with 6 different fillings. Personally, it's too sweet for me, and it drowns out the flavor of the filling. But the wontons in vinegar were steaming hot and delicious!

It can be better from all points of view!

Very popular restaurant in Chinatown, specializing in its famous little soft round bun with your choice of toppings It was obviously excellent but you shouldn't stop at the bun, the small menu contains some nuggets (sesame noodles, dim sum, fried tofu...) A real treat, be careful at peak times you could be faced with a huge queue

Love popping in here for a bun to take away. Only knocked a star as their prices have gone up quite a bit and the quality has slightly declined. so the value isn’t really there for me anymore. Will still get on occasion but not as often due to the price

The custard bun are absolutely a must, along with the crispy tofu. The environment is warmed by an original 60's Chinese rock, which sets the cafeteria mood. Friendly and efficient service.

We chose the deal of 3 buns for £11: chicken, beef, and pork. We were served very quickly and very kindly. The one we liked the most was the chicken bun, although the beef and pork buns were also very good. The packaging is very nice and clearly indicates the flavor of each bun

Tried their signature custard bun and it tasted good. Had a queue when I visited. Service was quick. They don't accept cash payments.

I love their veg fluffy dumplings🥟

To go or enjoy in the small restaurant. The anteroom has large wooden steam pots that look great. We had a savory chicken thigh and the sweet custard. The sweet one was the favorite, this sauce. Simply delicious and definitely try it when you are in Chinatown.

I got the regular lava buns , the bun is really fluffy and delicious, the custard is good with a good texture aswell Perfect snack/dessert Will definitely visit again

Very delicious baos, summarized in that the beef one is mild, the chicken one has a very good curry touch, the pork one is sweet because of the barbecue sauce and the lamb one is quite spicy, but they are very good. The price is high if you are going to eat just that, the staff recommends 2 and 1/2 or 3, and continue through Chinatown for a walk and eat something else and dessert

Pros: VERY good and authentic, hot and steamy Cons: slow service, busy, tight spaces for takeaway

During 4 days in London I returned to this place 3 times. High quality bun, fresh and well made product. I was really happy to have discovered this place. I recommend it with all my heart. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beef bun and Chicken bun. Both delicious and nicely served. Totally worth it for £3.80 a piece.

A good place in Chinatown to eat bao buns and other traditional Chinese food. The only thing is that there is not enough space.

I tried the pig bun on the night of 23rd of November and I got food poisoning. I have been sick since then, not able to leave to toilet.

It’s a bit pricey compared to alternatives in the area, but overall good service, delicious buns, and delicious alternatives in case you want to complement with something else. Recommended

Mandatory gastronomic stop. The best baos I have ever tried, I ordered the custard (my favorite) and the pig.

I ordered rice and tofu to eat in. Only the tofu came and it wasn't great. I also ordered buns to take away and they were really good.

Its good am tried there famous custard bun 😋 Its ok... i like Not much over sweety its medium and tasty bun Once try it Very nice

Place found through social media recommendations and easily found while walking around Chinatown. Bun taken to take away after 5 minutes in line since we arrived quite early on site (until around 8pm in fact there wasn't a large number of people), we tried the beef bun, chicken bun and pig bun, all good especially the 'last. Not too expensive for a quick snack.

The buns are amazing although the mass is bigger than the inside, the taste is delicious. They could bring them even more hot as it is only mild warm.

We have been today and they served us super quickly, the bathrooms were incredible and of a considerable size. We recommend it to anyone who likes baths

If you like bread baos I recommend it, we tried the egg yolk one, the curry chicken and beef one, my recommendation in that order, all three cost us 11 pounds

We ordered the box of the 3 bao bread. We chose the chicken and curry, the beef and the egg yolk one, all three were very good and the bread is perfect, the egg yolk one is sweet but it was also very delicious. We ordered it to take away but there are also tables where you can eat.

I came for the custard bun and so happy that I did. It was delicious 😋

A very small place, they make some great Japanese buns with very different flavors. There is a long line but they go fast, it is worth doing it. A good snack

In London's Chinatown, with some pretty interesting flavor buns. Good service, little space to sit, there was a line but it was fast

I came in with high expectations. BAD IDEA A lot of fame, but I really didn't think it was anything spectacular for the prices it has. Plus it's a super small place and I felt like they were kicking me out because they have to clear tables so more people can enter. I left there and went to eat at the restaurant across the street.

Cute little shop. Didn’t like the bun much. The milk tea was water down. But their kaya toast was banging

The beef bun was very good. The egg one is too sweet for my taste. Maybe a little expensive for the amount of food we ate, but it's more or less standard London price.

Good taste but nothing exceptional, and very expensive for a small bun : 3.8£. Cashless

Tastes really good, extremely fast service and visually appealing too!:)

Very strict, when opening at 12, they can not let us in 5 min early. Portion is small

We had great expectations but unfortunately these buns were nothing special, and they were a bit small compared to the price (if you eat inside there are also service fees). In addition, there is some waiting time. You can try it and figure out your opinion 😀

Always a queue here but it moves relatively fast since most people are getting take away. Love the pork bun and har gau!

Very good and juicy buns. We tried the pork, beef and lamb although I would highlight the wontons. Great spicy sauce, homemade pasta and shrimp filling with a brutal flavor. It is small although there are some tables inside, many people order takeout. Fast and attentive service

No comments, just go there and buy the food, especially beef bun 😋

Food was good. Service was quick and people was nice. Depending on the time, it gets quite busy for both takeaway and dine in. So lot of queues. But the food is generally always hot.

Excellent! Nothing to say, everything is made in an artisanal way, the bao have an exquisite taste, the best baos we have ever eaten. Be careful with passing times, if you pass during meal times, there may be a long wait, but it is worth the detour. I highly recommend!

i wanna eat the kaya french toast every day for the rest of my life for breakfast lunch and dinner. nom nom nom amazing so good

No har gow at 12 midday? In a dim sum restaurant? Sold out? Unacceptable

The Halloween one were very tasty and the custerd one too

Unbelievably delicious bao… It's unrivaled. Look at this beautiful shape. It melts in your mouth. I love this place!

Loved it, but i didn't rallye like the one bun with the egg inside but the one with chicken was so good.

The takeaway box is cute, the buns are good, but definitely overhyped.

Walked out, waiter needs to work on his manners and attitude

It’s a rather small restaurant but the food tho!! Amazing (custard bun & 肠粉 are a must!）

As I walked up, there were lots of people queuing. Upon asking some people some wanted to sit in and some takeaway, it wasn't organised. I ordered a bun to take away. The lady serving me was nice and very busy. The bun was nice, but for a savoury one, it was a tad sweet.

Truly delicious and if you aren't careful you will definitely get a stain....the problem won't be the stain but rather having lost a bit of cream....Truly super 😋😋😋

We were able to eat inside after 15 minutes of waiting. Everything is very well organised, the take away packaging is really cool. As for the food, the buns were really excellent as were the wantons. Compliments!

Buns very tasty except veggie one. Grumpy grandma chilli green beans delicious

Meeeega! Super delicious, super friendly!

Buns were not anything special and weren't particularly hot either when served. There wasn't much filling in the bun either

Everything is great apart from the waiting time for anything apart from buns. Taking forever

Long Distance For Custard Buns I always order custard buns whenever enter this restaurant. How can you forget that hot lava custard filling? As a reminder, eat the bun slowly or the filling will leak. Always keep the top side(the side with words) face towards yourself while eating, as the top is thicker than the bottom.

After looking at the reviews we thought it would be a great place but it was not. Overpriced, quality standard. I would not come back

Came here for a quick lunch and it was delicious! Had to pork bun and wonton which was soooo good! And the Custard bun was amazing! Definitely recommend for a quick bite to eat when visiting China town!

Authentic Chinese cuisine. Very nice service and food of the highest quality.

I had high expectations with all the hype. Their buns are good but I have had better, I would go back but not for the food alone so not a good takeaway for me. It’s a fun place to meet with friends.

The chicken wings, rice noodles, salt squid, waffles fries and prawns dumplings were good. The chicken bun the filling was good but the buns were too sweet for me.. We seat at first floor and there were 2 small seating areas almost full. The waiter was super polite, price reasonable the food was average if i will come back only for the French toast which was very delicious.

I saw this place on YouTube as something worth trying in Chinatown but we didn’t like it. The bun is too sweet. The fillings were ok. I wouldn’t recommend it. The interior is very basic, cold atmosphere.

Buns to take away, friendly service, buns were divine

Great place, very good, very clean and the staff are adorable!

Horrible stuff, rude and not helpful They cant manage their line, say that they are full, but tabels are free Crazy behaviour And total mismanagement. Way overpriced buns

Great food and fast. Heard about these buns and glad we finally got to try them. Will be back a few times before my trip back home to Florida

Great spot! I loved trying everything

Haven’t been in some time now especially since it became 3 for £11. Used to be 4 for £10, absolute quality deal.

The custard bun is a must try but cannot have more than 1 because it is super sweet. Be careful when you bite it because the custard filling is very runny and hot. The outer dough is super soft and nice. £3.80 each. Card only payments.

The buns were absolutely delicious, with a soft, fluffy texture and tasty filling, though slightly on the runny side. The place was quite busy, but since we opted for takeaway, the 10-minute wait was no problem. Definitely worth it for such a tasty treat!

Amazing buns! Very fluffy and delicious. Particularly loved the pork one. The dumplings were also great. The waffles fried were okay, nothing special, but the curry mayo was good overall. Just a bit overpriced. So, maybe next time we'll stick to the buns and the dumplings.

They are good, soft buns, the lamb one for sure my favourite. Always coming here for a quick snack if it’s not too busy. We also ordered Soy Black Vinegar Wonton, it was good, but only 5 mini pieces for £8.6 not sure if it’s worth it haha. Overall nice place.

Quick fun dining spot in Chinatown. Everything we had was great, the standouts were the chicken curry bun and the French toast. Get the French toast!!!

I went to Bun House last week with my friends. We ordered 6 Bun soft Dough balls filled with chicken, pork, or many others options. The menu offers enough variety. The service was very fast. Bun house is cheap and the food is really good.

Very small place with few tables. Most buy takeaway. It's very rich

Good for a quick bite, don't forget to take off the paper on the bottom of the buns 😂 they make the tea to your preference, if you try it and it is not to your liking they said that they will remake it, we liked the way it was initially made and there was no need for redo.

Got bad food poisoning and was ill after eating here sadly

Super delicious to try something new. Be careful because you can make a lot of mess with what's inside. Recommended

The best Chinese food. Best dumplings.

Lovely selection of great buns and great service.

Bun House is the great meet up spot and easy to locate around the street. Had small group dinner with local mate from London and he brought us here. The restaurant seemed to have compact space but it’s comfortable enough to occupy larger scale of group. They utilized every corner of the space for utilities such as washroom for ladies in the midst of stair. The food however was good. The buns were served warm and soft. The size might be small but with the generous filling of each flavor the size wont matter anymore. Other menus on the table were tasty. The chicken, the tofu and dumplings. We had lovely surroundings during the evening, not much noise from other groups. The waiters were attentive and helpful during the dining.

Great place of buns in China town in London. Really really enjoyed it. The buns were great; dim sum as well. Waffle fries with curry mayo were okay. The tofu was okay, was just a teeny tiny little bit underwhelmed by the tofu because I had really high expectations, but it was objectively very good. So, nothing to complain about the food. The service was decent. Our server was great but not all the staff were as welcoming. It was a tad pricey but would definitely come back. Very much recommended !!

The restaurant is located in the Chinatown district, in the heart of London. There were long queues in front of the entrance and you had to wait a long time for a table. Optionally, you can also order takeaway food. We ordered a set of 6 pampuchis (buns), each with a different flavor filling: vegetarian, with chicken, beef, mutton, pork and a strange yellow cream inside (sweet, delicious in taste, worth leaving it for the very end for dessert). The buns looked and tasted delicious. This set of 6 pieces was completely sufficient for two people. We paid about £26 for it. I highly recommend the "bunsy" served here - an extraordinary, surprising and diverse dish. It's worth trying because it's hard to compare these flavors to anything else.

I came here specifically for the French toast and I was not disappointed. They are filled with a sweet cream, simply delicious!

There was a queue, but it moves pretty fast. The custard bun was good, albeit quite difficult to consume. Something I’ll come back for every few months.

Delicious food and good location; but the service was not friendly at all. They also forced us to consume one more dish than we wanted to order because they said that we had to spend a minimum of £15 per person, and it didn't indicate it anywhere.

Just got the takeaway this afternoon, one of the bun got MOULD!!! Total unacceptable! At the bottom of The beef one! That could have been missed! Check before you eat!!!

Excellent ! We loved the buns. The food is plentiful and of very good quality. the welcome and the service at the top, all for a bill which remains reasonable in proportion to what is done in London. We will return without hesitation. 👍

Took a while to get served, but when we did get served, food came out really quickly. Spicy beef brisket was fantastic. Not to keen on the chicken and duck dishes we ordered, but they were okay.

Delicious buns and I also tried the yuzu french toast which I very much recommend. One of the best french toasts I've had.

Wanted to try the custard bun for ages and was nice, personally didn’t love it but did really enjoy the chicken one
