This is one of our favourite restaurant in London for dinner. Everything taste so unique. I am obsessed with their 1000leaves chips. It’s sensational and everytime we have to have one each!! Edamame, yellowtail,chilli crab, artichoke & shitake,black cod they all taste so unique and fresh!! They used to have an amazing calamari that is not on the menu anymore which broke my heart. They are also dog friendly which is amazing!

Found this place via soft launch website trying there Tuesday 7 course taster menu for 35 pp, normal 40pp, and discount on selected cocktails, beers, shots, soft drinks and sake. I like the colour scheme but I feel somewhat bias as green is my favourite colour, I couldn't quite get the general decor them but it was pleasant with pieces great to drum up conversation. Afew minutes walk from parsons greens station I'm not that familiar with the area but it was easy to find following maps. They only have one toilet which smells wonderful but could easily have you distracted in there with the wall to wall visitor signage. Service was attentive without being intrusive, sitting was comfortable but it is a very intimate restaurant so can imagine it would feel cramped when fully booked. As mentioned me and my guest had the taster menu, I forgot to take a picture of one of the courses but it was a rice dish, it was wonderful beginning to end and as a light eater who grazes and struggles to finish a portion and everything came out in wonderful timing. Never feeling overwhelmed or disappointed it was a true culinary experience which I highly recommend. I don't want to say much more because I truly believe it's a food experience worth taking. Classy yet homely, thank you so much for a wonderful meal

LOVE this place. The food is original and exquisite. Beautifully presented too. Cocktails also excellent and a couple of nice ice cold lagers on tap plus a surprisingly good range of sake (they can guide you through it if like me you don’t have a clue!). Similarly original ambience - particularly the toilet (you have to see it!). Small so quite intimate but also lively. Reasonably priced for the quality of the food. Service has been excellent whenever I’ve been. Highly recommend!

I have been planning to visit this place for a very long time and I finally managed to come. The food was amazing especially the Seabass burger and the aubergine. It is a cute, little, intimate restaurant and cocktail bar. I came alone this time just to see what the fuss is about and my oh my, I did make a great choice. The restaurant was full with just over 20 guests and the atmosphere & vibe was great! The music was the icing on the cake. The staff did great. I met Josh who was the host, waiter, bartender, runner and bar back at the same time. He did great working under pressure while delivering a great service. Thank you Josh for a great time. I will be back soon with more people. P.s. if you like toilet selfies, wait until you see their toilet.

Delicious food, friendly service, charismatic chef in action, funky atmosphere, reasonable prices. We came for their Tuesday set menu for dinner for 35 which included 7 courses. Honestly each course was delicious and completely different from the previous so brings a good variety. As we were sitting at the bar, we were able to chat with chef Scott who owns the place and was kind enough to make substitutes from the set menu as my friend doesn’t eat fish. Overall I would highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.

Food was incredibly good! We walked past on a Saturday night and it was buzzing so we booked for a birthday dinner a few nights later. Was very impressed with all our dishes - modern asian tapas style food. They were also good with dietary requirements - were able to adjust quite a few dishes to be gluten free for me if not already.

We had the high tea brunch there is so much food! Love that we get to try so many dishes. My husband is vegetarian and they happily accommodated with dishes made with tofu, aubergine and vegetarian Tom yum rice!

Freak Scene is an experience. A few reviews here judge the price tag of the food. - it is worth noting that if you’re thinking of spending 30 / 40 per head, it’s not worth you coming here and limiting your experience. This restaurant is easy 60 - 80 per head if you’re planning on only drinking one cocktail / drink. The food: WOW. Everything is an experience. Really really tasty. It’s unique. I would easily rate the food 9/10 The drinks: some sophisticated cocktails and flavours. I had the “golden monkey” and I really enjoy it. You do need approx 3 - 4 dishes per person and they do cost 15 - 19 each. I would definitely come back and dine here again.
