Sign in to reviewUncle Tetsu’s cheesecake is creamy, delicious, and fluffy. One important note: this is Japanese-style cheesecake, not a typical New York-style or grocery store cheesecake, so it’s good to have the right expectations before trying it. It’s lighter, softer, and more delicate. We also tried the tarts, including ube and matcha, and they were very delicious as well. Overall, it’s a great spot if you enjoy lighter, fluffy desserts and want to try something a little different.
First timer.. got a variety of the baby cheesecake plus a couple of biscotti.. Original and ube were yum.. matcha was mid.. nope on the black sesame.. tasted like taking a shot of sesame oil.. Biscottis were good tho..
IF YOURE ON THE FENCE ABOUT GOING, GOOO! Sooo stinkinggggg good u willll nottt regret it !!! Original cheesecake is so fluffy you will devour the whole thing with our blinking! And the ube cheese tart is sooo good and dense and packed with authentic ube flavor you will wish you got more !
If you’re craving a dessert that’s light, fluffy, and melts in your mouth, Uncle Tetsu’s Japanese cheesecake is the answer. Unlike the rich, dense New York–style cheesecake, this version is soft, airy, and slightly jiggly—almost like a sweet cloud. The subtle sweetness makes it easy to enjoy without feeling too heavy, and the texture is so unique that one slice is never enough! One thing to note: because it’s so delicate, it’s best eaten the same day (though refrigerating works too, the texture just changes a bit). The price is fair for the quality and size, and it makes a perfect treat to share—or not share at all! Overall, Uncle Tetsu delivers a one-of-a-kind cheesecake experience that’s worth the hype. It’s a must-try for dessert lovers!
I absolutely love Uncle Tetsu. The cheesecake here is so amazing and the packaging is extremely cute. I definitely recommend checking it out!
