Bone Daddies, the creative team behind the Ramen Bars of the same name have turned their incisive eye to Izakaya-style cooking and even a Japanese inspired Bottomless Brunch.
The mastermind behind Shackfuyu, chef Ross Shonhan, aims to bring a contemporary twist to Japanese food and his influence can be felt across the capital as more and more restaurants turn to fusion food to reflect an increasingly cosmopolitan city. The concept is ‘Western-style Japanese food’, though this isn’t just a half-hearted experiment. Shonhan has the experience and culinary nous to rival a seasoned Japanese cook.
The Bottomless Brunch includes free-flowing white wine, red wine, or Prosecco, plus a welcome cocktail — guests can choose between a Yuzu Kosho Bloody Mary or a Strawberry Bellini. The food menu includes two small plates, one large plate, and dessert. Small plate options range from Edamame and Seared Salmon Sashimi to Korean Fried Wings and Okonomiyaki Prawn Toast. Larger dishes include Iberico Pork Pluma, Beef Fillet, Grilled Salmon, Bibimbap (Chilli Beef or Veg), and a choice of Rabbit, Chicken, or Pork Katsu Curry. Brunch finishes with the signature Kinako French Toast.
They favour a loud, vibrant crowd and blast old school rock throughout the day – quaint, tumbleweed dining this is not. Low-hanging industrial light fittings and dark blue leather upholstery give it a decadent Oriental feel.
Shackfuyu is located on Old Compton Street in Soho, less than five minutes’ walk from Tottenham Court Road and Leicester Square stations, and under ten minutes from Piccadilly Circus.
