New pan-Asian venture, Joe’s Oriental Diner @joesoriental will open in Balham this Wednesday 2nd September, from 5.30pm! Located at 1 Ramsden Road, where Freak Scene was located, and under the same ownership (but with two new restaurant managers), Joe’s is all about big, bold Southeast Asian-inspired food without the big price tag.
They have a fantastic OPENING OFFER - 25% OFF the food bill running from Wednesday 2nd September until Wednesday 30th September - all you need to do simply book a table in advance via the link in bio @joesoriental
Owner & Head Chef, Scott Hallsworth tells us more about the new restaurant:
“Expect loud flavours, plenty of zing, smoke, chilli and crunch – but easy-going enough for everyone: affordable plates, kids’ bento boxes at lunch and dinner, simple East Asian-inspired cocktails, and a short, rotating wine list built around the food.
“Joe’s originally launched as a King’s Road pop-up back in 2015, and we think it’s going to be a brilliant fit for Balham. We’re excited to open the doors this coming Wednesday!”

@freaksceneldn in Balham will permanently close after end of trading on Saturday 22nd August – with an exciting new pan-Asian venture, Joe’s Oriental Diner, opening in its place under the same ownership (but with two new restaurant managers) on Friday 28th August.
Owner and Head Chef @scotthallsworth tells us more:
“After 20 months in Balham, we’ve realised that Freak Scene isn’t quite the right fit for the area – a bit like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole! It’s a brand we love and believe in, so we’ll be taking it back to its roots in central London, where it originally began life in Soho, and where we think it’ll really shine.
“But we’re going out with a bang! We’re offering a ‘Freak Scene Final Feast’ – a fantastic 2-for-1 deal on our 8-course family-style feast, working out at just £39pp (swipe to see the menu) – running from now right up until we close on Saturday 22nd August.
“Then, after a quick turnaround, we’re thrilled to be opening Joe’s Oriental Diner in time for the August bank holiday weekend! Originally launched as a King’s Road pop-up back in 2015, Joe’s is all about big, bold Southeast Asian-inspired food without the big price tag – family-friendly, with slicker, quicker service (using QR codes).
“Expect loud flavours, plenty of zing, smoke, chilli and crunch – but easy-going enough for everyone: affordable plates, kids’ bento boxes at lunch and dinner, simple East Asian-inspired cocktails, and a short, rotating wine list built around the food.
“We think Joe’s is going to be a brilliant fit for Balham – and while we’re sad to close one chapter, we can’t wait to get started on the next, and to make a real success of it here in SW12!”
Bookings for Joe’s Oriental Diner open on Friday 21st August.

Freak Scene (and soon Joe’s Oriental Diner) are located at 1 Ramsden Road, Balham, SW12 8QX.

Last chance to book our 2-4-1 Feasting Menu (it’s not a bloody tasting menu, not all menu’s are tasting menus, omakase menus or suitable for junior clowns)
Tables available from 12pm all day tomorrow - and potentially some evening spaces left too.
Stay tuned for our Hot August Nights Feasting Action - more details very soon!
Until then, roll in for a complimentary yuzu marg or Aperol slushie before letting rip on this mega feast for the last time 😘

BBC’s Saturday Kitchen enjoyed a Balham twist last weekend, with local resident & chef @scotthallsworth cooking up a storm on the show!
Scott, who’s the owner & head chef at both @freaksceneldn and @pinky_omakase on Ramsden Road in Balham, made viewers hungry by showcasing three dishes on the programme:
- Fat yellow noodles with Masterstock braised short rib, XO, bacon and bok choy
- Tuna sashimi ‘pizza’
- Milk-dashi white asparagus salad with Goma dressing, shallot ponzu and artichoke crisps
Scott is the former head chef at Nobu London and founder of cult favourite Kurobuta, the ‘rock and roll izakaya’ group he launched in London in 2014.
You can catch the show now on BBC iPlayer!
