A tiny, bread-scented grab-and-go jewel where shelves of impeccably baked Japanese dough vanish before the afternoon.
Ordering Strategy
Go as early as possible (ideally morning) as popular items sell out by early afternoon; grab a tray and mix savoury lunch buns with sweet dessert pans.
What to order
Tuna & Corn Bun
A standout of the 'sensational' savoury selection, this classic Japanese combination is described by critics as a 'culinary jackpot' that is remarkably 'filling for the price.'
Curry Pan
This 'very filling' bun 'punches you in the face with flavour,' featuring a 'vibrantly orange filling with plenty of chickpeas and even more attitude.'
Custard Bun
Critics claim this 'must surely be the best in London,' featuring a 'mildly sweet brioche-like dough' that is 'filled to the very brim with velvety vanilla custard' and 'crunchy roasted almonds.'
Melon Pan
Reviewers describe the technique of 'covering brioche with shortbread' as 'genius,' providing a 'layer of buttery crunch' that offers 'twice the deliciousness' of standard pastry.

Good to know
This is strictly a takeaway spot with no seating. The space is tiny, so be prepared to wait on the pavement if it's busy.
