  “Great burgers and great food. Only one piece of feedback for the team. You give your customers options to customise their orders, But you never follow through on the customisation. I used to order weekly, but I’ve ordered a few times now where I have removed something or added something in my burger and these options were just ignored (Although I had paid extra!). I no longer order from bun and sum because I don’t know what version of a burger I will receive. Especially when you’re ordering online, you are not the cheapest option So I do expect my order to be perfect. It’s just unfortunate that I’ve had several bad experiences.”

  “⭐⭐⭐⭐ Late Review – Decent Spot for Brisket/Burgers in East London I visited Bun&sum a while ago and have been meaning to leave this review since. The place may well have changed in appearance by now, but here’s my honest experience from that visit. I ordered the brisket burger with loaded fries and a drink. Overall the food was decent and satisfactory nothing spectacular, but it did the job. The brisket burger was okay with decent flavour, but I’ve had way better at other smokehouses and proper brisket spots around London. The loaded fries weren’t really that loaded (a bit light on the toppings), but they still tasted nice and crispy. Nothing to complain too strongly about, just not memorable enough to rave over. It’s a convenient spot if you’re in the Bow area and fancy something quick. The vibe is straightforward and no-frills. Address: Unit 4, Bow Triangle Business Centre, Eleanor St, London E3 4UR One thing to note is that parking is a real issue here. The area is quite cramped, so most people seem to eat outside or in their cars. That’s something to keep in mind if you’re driving. All in all, Bun&sum is a solid 4-star spot for a casual bite when you’re in the mood for burgers and fries. It won’t blow you away, but it’s decent enough and gets the job done. I’d consider popping back if I’m in the area again.”

  “Does taste very good but for the price point it could be a bit more generous on the portions. Definitely one to tick off your try list Food.Glorious.fooood tiktok/insta”

  “Finally got the chance to eat in at Bun n Sum Bow, and it’s a great addition to the experience. They currently offer 50% off selected items for collection, which is a nice bonus if you’re ordering out. The food itself is really tasty — everything we tried was full of flavour and well-prepared. It is a little on the pricey side, but the quality does justify it to an extent. Staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. Overall, definitely worth checking out, whether you’re dining in or grabbing a deal for takeaway.”

  “There are mixed reviews but my experience was superb. I had two different burgers and animal fries and they were moist, well cooked, full of flavour and the sauce was very generous. Melt in the mouth style stuff, and the service was execellent. It's literally a little burger bar in a converted 20ft container but it works! (Plenty of eating adjacent)”

  “Avoid this chain of Restaurants they are rip off merchants! The food is bland and disgusting and what you see advertised by food influencers isn’t what you’re served in reality! The owners of this small chain of burger joints haven’t a clue about smash burgers. An absolute joke! How is these restaurants even open lol the burger buns are soggy the meat smells funny and when you order a double patty smashed burger it looks more like beef crumbs lmaooo the chips are nasty and how on earth can they justify £5 for a glass bottle of coke! Even in west end restaurants at best they cost £3.95!! Please boycott Bun Sum stop ordering from this chain they are rip off merchants! The owner should change the name from bun sum to bum some 😂😂😂😂 I’ve attached photos you can all be the judge and previous reviews speak for it’s self”

  “Didn't realise that this branch was takeaway ONLY. Food was good, but not worth the journey. The big rib burger was the best thing I had from there. 4/5. Too small and too expensive to give 5/5. The burger was very delicious though. Ribs were good, but not amazing. 3/5. I expected more for £12. The animal fries 🍟 were DEAD!! 2/5.”

  “Heard some interesting news about this place so drove like 20 miles. Truly disappointed, ordered two burgers which looked like someone had sat on them. 1 portion ribs, I thought there were 5 pieces but only two huge ones with big bones and hardly any meat on them. Only thing tasty was the animal fries. On menu it stated 50% off but was still expensive. Totally regret it, waste of time, money and fuel. Avoid if possible much better places around there for similar price. You guys are a let a down. Fix your kitchen otherwise you will lose more customers. At this rate even if you offer 100% off still not worth it.”

  “Saw this place on social media and thought I'll give it a go. Had a craving for a meaty burger. I got the big smac and my husband got the pastrami. Both burgers were delicious. Pastrami one has that salty meaty taste. We also got fries but I wouldn't bother next time, not worth the price. Drunks are really expensive too.”

  “If you're looking for a smashed burger joint, this is probably one of the best around, definitely in East London anyway. The main difference for me is the type of bun they use instead of the typical brioche or seeded bun most other places use. I've been a regular here since they first opened and have pretty much tried everything on the menu. The standard smash burgers are great but the rib meat burger and the bow dip burger are definitely the two that stand out for me. The bow dip burger is topped with brisket meat and served with a pot of broth to dip your burger into if you really like a juicy burger full of flavour that literally melts in your mouth (unfortunately couldn't take a photo/video dipping into broth as I had my hands full!) It can be a little on the pricier side, especially if you go for the premium burgers which fall outside of the 50% discount but you have to remember that it's the quality of the meat that you're getting and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. I thought I'd try it once like most but I keep finding myself going back for it again the following week. I've tried both of those burgers a good few times each over the past few months and yes some days the brisket is a little on the drier side and other days it's dripping with so much juice that I forget about the broth. Unfortunately it just depends on the brisket batch of that day but rest assured it will still be amazing, just on a good day you'll be mind blown. There's also a great selection of American drinks and some options for dessert where I'd recommend the banana pudding to share between two as it's quite a big portion. It can get quite busy in the evenings especially on weekends so try to get there a bit earlier or call ahead. There isn't seating at the moment so eating in your car is most likely where you'll be eating, otherwise there are some barrels placed outside that you can lean on.”
