Are These London Restaurants Worth The Hype? - London - The Infatuation

"The Verdict: This Soho sandwich shop leans more burger, and we’re definitely not complaining. The only thing that separates Crunch’s sandwiches from a really good burger are thick slices of brioche, instead of buns. But it works: fillings like beef patties with truffle mayo and crispy onions blend into the brioche toast with every bite, and makes for an outstanding meal. Lean on this Soho spot’s chrome counter and watch heaped spoonfuls of purple caramelised onion being swiped across the toast, while you wait desperately for your number to be called out." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley

"The only thing that separates Crunch’s sandwiches from a really good burger are thick slices of brioche, instead of buns. But it works. Fillings like beef patties with truffle mayo and crispy onions melt into the brioche toast with every bite. This Dean Street spot only has around 10 seats, but the turnaround is fast and the patty melt is so good that we’d happily eat one of these standing in the street." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager

Where To Eat Lunch In Soho - London - The Infatuation

"Technically, you can sit-in at Crunch. But the Dean Street spot is so narrow and busy—and the burger-like sandwiches so thick and decadent—that it's better for everyone if you take yours to go. Our favourite menu is the Patty Melt. Think beef patties with truffle mayo and crispy onions that soak into the brioche toast with every bite." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

Crunch’s sandwiches are great, but know they lean more burger - Review - London - The Infatuation

The patties are thin and buttery, and the cheese is gooey and melted. And that caramelised onion? A game-changer. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Michaels Chicken This is a great fried chicken sandwich. It’s got all the components of a McChicken, but is way better. We’re fans of the pickles, but we’d appreciate more aioli. Ask for that, or the hot sauce on the side for dipping. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Buffalo Cauliflower We’re big fans of this vegetarian one. The deep-fried cauliflower is good, but it’s the ranch coleslaw that makes it great. And if you get more of that buffalo sauce on the side, it’s even better. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Rianne Shlebak

DIDNT FEEL LIKE AN UPRISING… Crunch on Dean Street has had loads of buzz recently, landing on plenty of top 10 lists and all over influencer feeds and newspaper write ups. The sandwich is really good quality and nicely put together, but the absolute star is the bread. It’s a brioche inspired beauty that isn’t overly sweet but ridiculously tasty and moreish. I tried the Michael’s chicken which was fairly standard as a concept, but still very tasty. Pricing feels fair for the location and the hype also - respect that! The vibe is loud and upbeat with heavy house music blasting. Service is blunt, almost bordering on rude at times. The staff were clearly enjoying themselves, though it didn’t always feel like guests were part of that energy, especially with conversations happening in their own language. The Dubai chocolate mousse looked better than it tasted, but was satisfying enough. Overall, a very good sandwich spot with exceptional bread, just not quite worth all the hype.

That was massive... 😅 I've never thought I would feel that fullneww out of this sandwich. Service is extremely fast when I first saw the line I was like here we go another 20 min.. But turned out to be only 10 min. The sandwich is amazing and the meat is super tender with tll the cruchiness it has. The Deep fried lazania was super delicious with that sweet sauce.

I ordered almost everything and shared it all and every single item impressed. The patty melt was incredibly soft and comforting, I consider it as the advanced-level burgers and they were my absolute favorite—bold flavors, perfectly executed. The steak sandwich was outstanding, and the 1000-layer potato… oh my God—crispy, rich, and addictive. The Michael chicken was unbelievably soft, and the pepperoni lasagna bites were something else- unique, indulgent, and done right. We tried all the dips, and the Parmesan dip was my favorite. The place feels clean, new, and different, with a fresh concept that stands out. I’ll definitely go back, especially for the patty melt again. Highly recommended.

Wow! Everyone should try this place! It’s like a hamburger, but NOT, IT’S BETTER! Heavenly, insanely perfect flavers! It’s in a sezame seeds brioche bun, with angus beef patties, cheese, red onion marmalade and black truffle mayonnaise. They make everything fresh here. They have open kitchen, so you can see how they make the ‘burgers’. We tried the ‘Patty Melt’. The place is cute and small, but this is perfectly enough. We could sit and eat our buns there. Everyone was very nice and kind. I highly recommend this place, if you want something fresh, something new, and also something delicious! Thanks for this perfect and very tasty experience. They have more options, like lobster roll, fried chicken bun, or even steak sandwich. If you like sweets, you should try the Dubai chocolate mousse. We didn’t try, but the lady behind me tried, and she said to her friends, that the mousse was ‘incredibly fantastic’ So if you have time, and you’re hungry, don’t be afraid to try this, because if you’ll try you won’t regret! I promise!

Well this sandwich shop lived up to the TikTok hype. It's a busy place, service is fast and the staff are complete bosses at banging out the food. The patty melt was perfectly oozy with cheese and delicious burger. The apple jam on the juicy katsu kitchen made the dish. The potatoes were like the best roast potatoes ever and the Mac n cheese bites were lovely savory and cheesey. All in all a great light meal at the right price point.

Crunch is a small shop but delivers very solid sandwiches. The chicken sandwich was clean and well-prepared, the burger had distinct ingredients, and the steak sandwich was also well-balanced. Overall, a place worth trying, even with the limited seating and possible wait, The team clearly knows what they’re doing.

Back at Crunch again because it truly deserves a revisit ♥️ We ordered the Patty Melt, Chicken Katsu, and the 1000 Layer Potatoes , everything was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Such a great experience, and definitely coming back to try more !

Third time visiting now, the steak sandwich used to be so good, now the steak is lacking seasoning with the sandwich being carried by the sauce and texture of the fried potatoes, brioche bun is still great, size is smallish but filling, seating was tight and claustrophobic with the small seating spaces. Fast serving though, just wished the steak sandwich could have some better flavour.
