Oh yes! Didn't disappoint at all. Nice staff, decent clean unit, fair value, and most importantly banging food. We had the dip bun and have been wanting to go back since.

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.

Good quality food, served in a very good portion. Good quality meat, buns and sauces / condiments. This branch does take away / pick ups. There is not any on-site seating. We ordered and ate in the car. Nearby parking is permit holders as well as pay and display.

B'S HONEST REVIEW In My Top 10 Summer Halal Food Spots Bun & sum Is Located In a Industrial estate East london E3, easy to get by in a car & if i'm not mistake there is bus stops in the surrounding area to get by with public transport . I was not expecting anything amazing because in my opinion east london isnt the land of the best smash burgers The Menu is varied with burgers, sides and specials . I was extremely happy to see bbq rib on the menu but sad because they didn't have pastrami! I orderd the regular, big mac, chilli & rib The food did not disapoint! Juicy, fresh smash beef patty with the most delicious crispy slightly burnt edges soft brioche bun & delicious burger sauce! The rib was out of this world packed full of flavour and literally slid off the bone . A MUST TRY !!

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.

First time trying this place after hearing about it on social media. The food was amazing! We got 2 regular burgers, the motz (onion burger), big rib (burger) and animal fries. All of the food tasted so good but the rib burger was my fave! The rib meat was juicy and tender and it also had a beef patty in the burger which was nice. The place is pretty pricey but they have 50% off on the burgers every now and then so it is ok value when you go on those days. However it was quite busy so we had to wait about 20mins before we got our food. Would recommend giving this place a go!

When a burger has you craving more after the first bite, it is testament to how delicious that burger is and that’s exactly how Bun & Sum food left us feeling, so much so, Hubby ate all his share of the burgers immediately and then tried to take mine We sampled pretty much everything from the menu: - Regular Burger - Motz Burger - Big S’Mac Burger - Easy Street Burger - Grilled Deece - Drip Fries - Cheeseburger Fries - Animal Fries - Strawberry Lime soda - Butterscotch Cream Soda The box is a BARGAIN - all that food for 26.25!!!!! Furthermore, they have some great offers on at the moment. Take advantage of them: 50% off collection & Salaam Eats, 20% off Uber Eats, Just Eat and Deliveroo. We thorougly enjoyed our burger fest! I loved every burger. They were cooked perfectly - crusty edge and juicy middle, they just melt in your mouth. What we loved most about them was the fact that all the condiments used made the burgers taste different to eachother and added a depth of flavour. The meat used is fresh, which makes a massive difference. If I had to pick my favourite, I’d say Big S’Mac or Easy street. The fries were divine! They’re cooked in beef dripping, which adds a delicious flavour. They were so addictive especially the cheeseburger fries. The drinks were unique and spectacular in taste! I’ve never seen them anywhere. Absolutely loved it. When you order, don’t forget to add them! The Butterscotch flavour was insane We absolutely loved our meal. My Hubby’s middle name should be ‘Burger addict’ as he loves his burgers a LOT. When he got into the car, he called me to say the car smells amazing because of the burgers & said he hopes we won’t get deet from how much he wants to eat them He also mentioned - the fact that we reheated the burgers & they still tasted incredible says a lot about the burgers! Overall, we were extremely impressed with the quality and taste of everything we tried!! I’d highly recommend their food and make the most of the offers they have at the moment!

Got the Bow Dip Burger! This loaded burger comes with the broth dip. Juicy burger - but be warned when eating this, things are going to get messy. It was Me vs Burger.... I won.... just about. The only downside I would say, the burger was slightly on the oily side. Not sure if anyone else has experienced that too ... or maybe that’s how the Bow Dip Burger is supposed to be? Not sure..... Nevertheless good burger. I’ll probably try the green chilli burger for next time. The brothers that served us were friendly and our burgers came fairly quickly. Good service and food overall!
