Punk-Asian Dining in London
Freak Scene is a bold, irreverent punk-Asian dining experience from chef Scott Hallsworth—former head chef at Nobu London and founder of cult favourite Kurobuta. Freak Scene serves a maximalist menu of Japanese and Southeast Asian-inspired small plates designed to excite, surprise and share. Expect signature dishes like miso-grilled black cod tacos, chilli crab wonton bombs, and spicy tuna sashimi pizza—flavours dialled up to eleven. Featured in Time Out, Harden’s and BBC’s Saturday Kitchen, Freak Scene continues to rip up the rulebook of dining in London.
