Sakurado Kensington Japanese Restaurant & Matcha House in Kensington and Chelsea

Super duper yummy and lovely service. Great dessert. The pistachio cake was my fav. Will come back soon.

I came with high expectation. I live not far. I was in Japan last month. It made for a very very disappointing experience. It is not authentic or genuine. The two servers were very nice, almost embarrassed. I asked for a hot chocolate, they brought a tin of Cadbury’s hot chocolate!!! Then they said they use Belgian chocolate fo their Macha and chocolates, I asked why not Japanese chocolates - no answer. We bought Matcha to take away, they had no boxes or packaging, they wrapped it in paper all the powder fell off!!! Then they tried to put them in some cheap paper bag. Such a shame, no sense of Japanese pride, they should go to Japan and spend some time reacquaint and retrain themselves in the high standards of Japan and not try to do a cheap gimmicky place. Japan and all things Japanese are great and wonderful.

Visit to London that coincided with a birthday, we thought we would try something different to the norm and stumbled on sakurado, rather than deciding on one flavour of cake, we opted for the assortment of Mille crepe cake (10 slices) the problem apart from the £65 price tag? The choice of flavours, needless to say we eventually managed to complete our choices….. the Mille crepe slices were amazing, so soft and delicate in taste, pistachio, matcha & mango were among our favourite… comes nicely packaged and definitely worth the money for a special occasion, you can buy one slice and needless to say there’s lots of other cakes, cheesecakes, breads…. Plenty to choose from in this wonderful patisserie….

I t was great service from Restaurant boys every time smiling on face . Food was great service from khan was too good ., Will join soon again thanks for staff

Die Kuchen waren sowohl optisch, als auch geschmacklich absolut faszinierend. Es ist zwar nicht billig, aber ein tolles Erlebnis für Auge und Gaumen.

We were given a box of assorted flavours of mille crepe layer cakes, from Sakurado as a present from a friend. All the flavours were absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend. We then had to buy some for other friends, to share the joy of eating them.

We ordered this cake online to pick up from the Chinatown branch. Although they did not have our order ready for collection, they gave us another one that was for sale in the shop. We took it to the restaurant and had it as part of our celebration. Most of the flavours were delicious. Red velvet was bland. Matcha is an acquired taste too. This style of cake is totally special. We each had half a slice at the end of our meal and loved it. Thank you.

Horrible company!!! I ordered a delivery for a bday occasion on 20th December 2021 from their e-comm platform central kitchen amounting £101+. Credit card was charged, payment went through but was not given any order number. Contacted a person named MeiRubin for refund umpteenth times, and she never bother to get back to me! All she did was asked the same order details from me repeatedly and keep telling me they will check with backoffice, however they could not see payment in back office. I called up my bank and they confirmed that payment had went through and I was given a merchant approval code. Asked MeiRubin to check with their bank with the approval code given many times too, to date 29th April, still no response from this company!! Horrible service from your team! Scam..!

The second time I bought, but the first time I came to the shop itself to collect it. The cakes are good, but when I arrived the staff were not very welcoming and they couldn't find my order however I don't have to wait long. The text on the menu bar in the shop is simplified Chinese I wonder maybe it's a mainland Chinese owner. There is a spelling mistake of Japanese on the cake paper box.

i ordered a birthday cake for my son, i already informed is a surprised cake. but the shop called my son a day before they deliver. most horrible they put a note with the price written. how can they do such crazy irresponsible silly mistake. over the price, why a whole cake still need to pay extra decoration. the 10 pound extra decoration was soo simple. not worth it. i will never come or order to this shop anymore. is really bad

We had the Matcha & Chocolate crepe cake, both DELICIOUS 100% reccomend, so soft and sweet but not sickly We went at around 9pm, they always have stock, dont worry about going late and them running out.

The waiter girl has no patience,and super rude !!!The service was very pool . Will not coming again !!!

This is a cute little Instagrammable cafe in Kensington. We did a detour here after visiting the Natural History museum. I loved the matcha tiramisu and would definitely drop by again if I was in the area.

I never knew tiramisu could taste so good, made me feel like I was back in Japan a must need feeling now there is no more travel

The buns were still frozen inside and the service of the attendant was even more frozen. Its time to give it a boost asap: I speak from a neighbourhood point of you Thanks

Lovely little taste of Japan, seeing as we cannot travel further afield at the moment! Matcha crepe cake was delicious. As was the Wobbly cheese cake! Very helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommend for dessert lovers in London. Will be back soon!

Stumbled across Sakurado whilst walking through Kensington last week. Such a lovely experience, the Sushi was really lovely and fresh, the Matcha cake was amazing along with great service, will definitely be back again soon.

Me and my partner came to visit this dessert restaurant after finding out they had the “UK’s Number 1 Matcha Mille Crepes”. We love trying new things and we love crepe cakes so we thought it would not disappoint. The restaurant itself was beautiful and...

Lots of attention to detail in the interior drew us in off the street for a light lunch. We enjoyed the sushi, fresh-made before us, and this is the pioneering UK home of the 'sushi burger', a novel take on sushi - a 'sandwich' of...

Matcha Mille Crepe and Matcha Tiramisu were absolutely divine! I am a huge fun of matcha, and the matcha desserts here were the best I ever have had in London. Loved the whole vibe of the place. Staff were very attentive. It’s a good place...

Cute little boutique bakery. We saw that they served food, but only had dessert as we came after dinner. The Matcha Tiramisu and Matcha Mille Crepe were delicate and delicious. A lot of the other desserts looked great as well and would be great to...

Nice place, decor is good. Quite small, but excellent desserts. Can be busy at times, so try to go when it's quieter.

Looking for a nice lunch with great reviews and what a surprise!!! - products not fresh, rancid spicy oil, salad wilted, even the rice was badly cooked - miserable quantities: a salmon bowl served with simply the quarter of a smoked salmon slice ! And...

We went to Sakurado to try their Japanese patisserie. The black sesame Mille crepe was simply amazing, light, fluffy, creamy and flavoursome. Friends had the salted caramel which was also delicious. The owners were super friendly and made us feel super welcome. Highly recommended visit...

Few friends visited together, the cake was really nice. Lots of different choices, pick any! It will be the best cake you ever had.

I went to have lunch and dessert around 11 but was told this place will stop serving lunch/food(if I understood the lady correctly) but l saw food menus still on the table and nothing online about they won’t serve anything other than dessert. I got...

I have been highly anticipating a visit to Sakurado since they claim they make the best Mille crepe in London. For such high anticipation I was met with disappointment. I met up with a fellow Japanese Patisserie lover and went for a light lunch and...

I highly recommend sweet potato choux!!!!! Sweet potato 🍠 is quite unique flavour. Matcha tiramisu is made with signature recipe and I feel it very special. People who like sweet and heavy matcha should prefer Matcha Mille crêpe 😍Sweet potato latte here is made of...

My partner and I recently visted and were treated with warmth by both the managers/owners. I am terribly sorry but I cant remember your names? Thank you for your kind hospitality. The good was great. We only tried the desserts but are keen to try...

really enjoy the matcha cake! Not big but really cozy and warm. A variety of cakes can be chosen, pro gonna try next time.

The chicken karaage and chicken ramen was so good. The other lovely thing is the dessert, Matcha Cheesecake was fresh. Loving the service, quality of food and pricing as well. Definitely recommended!!

The atmosphere is cozy and elegant. The tableware used are of high quality and good looking, like a fine tea house. We tried cakes, sake and tea. All are really tasty and artisanally presented. Waitresses are helpful and considerate. A great place for lovers of...

The best Japanese mille crepe cakes in London! It was amazing to have a surprise after dinner - a small cup of plum wine! Thanks very much!

Their black choux with green tea cream is my favourite. Choux is black because chacol is included ( recent health fad), the cream is whipped cream with maccha. I have not tried any other cakes, except for a sample of yuzu mille-feuille which was delicius....

Sakurado is a must visit for everybody day or night - management have taken a lot of time getting food right - cakes are made on premises - staff are friendly - what are you waiting get yourselves down there right away ..

I was pleased with the variety of matcha cakes and tea/coffee there. Prices are reasonable and loyalty programme is in place. Will definitely come back to try main courses.

I had lunch today in this amazing chic restaurant today, the service was amazing and the food was great value for money. Thoroughly recommend

The restaurant itself is nice, however, the food took forever to come (over 40 minutes) the service was very poor. The food was poor and had no/very little flavour. The waitress even told us that the reason the food took so long was because it...

Stopped here for a quick visit. They have many Mille crepe cakes but we only tried the roll cakes which were very nice and soft and filled with fresh cream. The croissants looked delicious as well. There is seating near the counter as well as...

As a lover of all things matcha I had very high hopes for this small cafe / restaurant and I must say my expectations were exceeded. The matcha latte is so much better than any Starbucks alternative, definitely worth the slightly higher price. The desserts...

If you are looking for something light desserts and not sickly sweet. I recommend you to visit this place. Cozy inside the owners are lovely thank you Mei for your hospitality. Must try their Matcha and Matcha Cake. This Japanese cafe is unique. If you...

Finally had the great experience of Sakurado ! It's amazing to hear a place relocates for its customers. I'm quite happy Sakurado is my neighborhood now. Let me tell you how hard it is to find great and fresh Takoyaki in London (and the rest...

this place used to be Bruti e Buoni for which I wrote a very good review, so I tried the new set up for lunch, I will not write much since both my friend and I agreed that the food quality was very poor, the...

Went there with a friend two days ago. Once again, very much enjoyed every mouthful. This time ordered charcoal sesame crepe and tiramisu. The very thinly layered crepe had just the right sweetness, rich not over the top, went on really well with Japanese rice...

Unfortunately we can only give a very bad review because 1 The staff were constantly arguing 2 The boss lady was very rude to us 3 The whole experience was horrible 4 overpriced--bad service--bad food

Just went for desert and ordered two macha frozen moshi. Both had a bite and left. Maybe other food is better. Or maybe just a bad day.

What a pleasant surprise to see this addition to the Gloucester Road neighbourhood. The cakes are Japanese style - less sweet, but with a very refined taste. I haven’t been through them all but everything is good! Try the Matcha Mille - ask how many...

Came here with my boyfriend and his sister (who lives nearby and recommended the place for dessert). My favourite of the 3 desserts we had was the hojicha mille crepe! The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated - filled with scented candles, and the hosts were...

Turn up in this establishment after seeing some post on the social media. Can guarantee you this though, it will not disappoint you. The food were amazing and the desserts were just mouth watering. The host Angela was very friendly and and helpful with menu...

Been here twice and i absolutely love the place! the owner is amazing and her desserts are top class. i also tried their full menus including starters and main course. i had beef noodle soup which filled me up nice and had lots of flavour....

What a great find. A Japanese restaurant that has just opened and I tried it out this evening with a colleague. Their cakes are delicious! Prices good too. I had the squid...super. My dining partner had Chicken Katsu Curry. Gave it a big thumbs up...

Nice Ramen and Love the Takoyaki! Also, the Matcha Mille Crepe and Matcha Bubble Tea Are Recommended!

Spent a pecfect afternoon with frds and chilled. The quality of food is very high and the staff are very nice. Highly recommend!

I've heard nothing but praise for Sakurado for the last few months, so I was keen to try them out. The day before I had to leave London it was raining heavily but I set out anyway to try their famous mille crepes. I'm not...

The cafe was easy to locate being just off Putney high street and just a 10 minutes walk from Putney train station. We visited on the weekend and surprising to see that the cafe was quiet... more so empty as we were the only customers....

What an amazing find!!! I don’t have a massive sweet tooth but the cakes are amazing!!! The chicken and salmon teriyaki is honestly incredible-I just love it. All tastes so fresh and healthy yet delicious. The bento boxes are incredible. I love all the vegetables...

I just ordered (Deliveroo)and really enjoyed the salmon teriyaki bento from Sakurado. It’s £12.95 which includes a small piece of salmon, rice, a few little containers of veggies/pickles, miso soup and a little matcha jelly. I thought the food was delicious and authentic, the salmon...

A little gem. Fantastic food and even better Japanese patisserie. If you do one thing in life, try their Matcha Tiramisu.. only one in the UK.

Oh, I finally found a real Japanese cafe. It opened in February, therefore quite new on Putney Bridge Road. It takes a 3 minutes walk from Putney High Street. The place shares with Fish & Chip shop (which is leer of the place) so slightly...

Had an authentic Japanese lunch and loved it! So much attention to detail and the cakes are yummy! Looking forward to ordering one of their bespoke cakes for our next celebration (even if i have to make one up).

Newly opened Japanese patisserie café. All the cakes are freshly hand made. We tried matcha (green tea) tiramisu, matcha latte as well as the roll cake box on our first visit. Everything looks very tempting. And the cakes are tasted very fresh. It has the...
