Buns and Buns Reviews Summary

Location

Pros:

• "Location is amazing."
• "Location is good, great to feel outside but being 'inside'."
• "The location in the heart of a bustling Covent Garden is a plus."
• "It's in Covent Garden so sometimes there might be a waiting time to be seated."
• "Fantastic place in the middle of Covent Garden! Great Ambiance!"
• "The location was fantastic."
• "This place is beautiful with very nice customer service. However, be prepared to pay very high service fees and higher bill for a food that's not enough to fill you up and doesn’t taste good at all.. I do not recommend it all!"
• "Great location in Covent Garden. Service was good."

Cons:

• "The overall place is very overpriced comparing the taste & quality."
• "You're mostly paying for location."
• "The atmosphere was very loud as they played music next to the restaurant which didn’t fit to the vibes at all."
• "It's amazing! Food is prepared with such care, ambient is amazing! The kitchen is open and you can sit around it as you eat and watch how the food is being prepared while the smells and warmth gently lull your soul into a state of complete relaxation. 😇"

Service

Pros:

• "The service was brilliant and the restaurant was a warm haven on a cold evening."
• "Service was great - interested enough to be invested in my dining experience without being too much."
• "The service was quite attentive, the food was lacking flavour and texture."
• "The receptionist is one the rudest people I’ve met in London, she was so mean, she refused to offer me a table even when the tables were available."

Cons:

• "Service could do with some work.. understandable the staff get a little tired with the place being mobbed all day in Covent Garden.. but politeness and a smile go a long way."
• "The service was average. We ordered black pepper beef and fried chicken bun."
• "Service was bad. They sat us on a table where the waiters kicked the chair everytime they walked past."
• "Really bad service. Really small portion size."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food was really tasty but pricey; of course it’s Covent Garden here."
• "The food is absolutely delicious, as I work in Covent Garden I am a regular and always buying from here."
• "The food tasted ok and the portion was fine, just as you’d expect from a restaurant."
• "Food was amazing, I had the duck bun, highly recommend."

Cons:

• "The food was over priced, my fries came out cold and my salad was so over dressed I couldn't eat it."
• "Very average food for a high price."
• "Food quite nice but far too expensive £14 for a Aperol Spritz!"
• "Bland food. Smells great but tastes like I could have heated it up in my oven."

Price/Value

Pros:

• "The food was incredible and pretty good value for money considering London prices."
• "This is a busy tourist area - and a really nice place to be - so expect to pay premium prices but the food is filling and tasty even if the portions don’t initially look large."
• "Great food and atmosphere. Some things were a little pricey (e.g. £7 for a glass of juice) but the food was good, as were the portions."
• "I had a green chicken curry which was great."

Cons:

• "Prices are little bit higher but quality of food is great."
• "Really disappointed. The food was over priced, my fries came out cold and my salad was so over dressed I couldn't eat it."
• "The prices were incredibly high! We have 2 orders of baos (duck and pork belly) and one order of chicken satay."
• "The only reason I've given this 2 stars is because the food was nice, but part of me wants to give it one star for the whole experience."
