🗣️ “Freak Scene Sushi & Robata is the second branch of the pan-Asian fusion restaurant headed up by ex-Nobu chef Scott Hallsworth (the other is in Parsons Green)….. on my visit it was completely packed out – I couldn’t get a reservation for two weeks – so I had an inkling they were doing something right here in Balham.” 

The vibe A buzzy, OTT spot with inventive, colourful fusion dishes and the vibes to match.

The food Sushi, small plates and fish and meaty mains with slap-you-round-the-face flavour and lots of fun presentation. 

The drink Twists on classic cocktails and a short but satisfying wine list.

Time Out tip Don’t fill up on sushi – the mains deserve to be tried.

🗣️ Freak Scene began as…”…a Farringdon pop-up, helmed by expat Aussie, former Nobu head chef and Kurobuta founder Scott Hallsworth, knocking out blinding pan-Asian bits on camp stoves in a hurriedly furnished Cowcross Street unit.

…. zip forward three years, chuck in some seed capital from omnipresent Australian TV comedian Adam Hills and lo: Freak Scene v.3 arrives, segued from central to the pinstriped, braying Fulham outpost of Parsons Green. 

The vibe A buzzing amalgam of suburban ‘chic’ and low-key slacker cool (with extra whooping Sloanes). 

The food Maximalist, painterly, face-punchingly flavourful pan-southeast-Asian small plates that go heavy on the luxe ingredients.

The drink Crisp house lagers, a well-curated wine list, and a killer carte of mega-ABV and gargantuan cocktails.

Time Out tip Swerve the crab bombs at your peril, but drag a posse for maximum ordering potential – I’m as bereft for what I couldn’t try as cock-a-hoop for what we did.
