Amazing Japanese cheesecake! It tastes like a combination of white butter cake & cheesecake. Its light, moist & fluffy. I love how it practically melts in your mouth with a perfectly sweet buttery taste. At $9 I would definitely say it is not overpriced. But stay away from the cookies. They were really salty for some reason. And they tasted old, like they were baked several days ago. I wish I bought more cake & less cookies

I’m very disappointed at this business’s lack of integrity and accountability. This location was doing a pop-up event with The Loaf Bakery in Santa Clarita. I had ordered two cakes. Uncle Tetsu was severely behind schedule in arriving to the event on time. I arrive to The Loaf at my scheduled pickup time. The owner of The Loaf showed me a text message (with a screenshot of the freeway) that the Tetsu crew was running very late due to traffic (poor planning on their part). I spent the rest of the afternoon waiting for any sort of follow up communication from Tetsu – received nothing. No follow up via email, text, or call about a refund or makeup event. I appealed the charge with my credit card company, but Tetsu said otherwise. I don’t care about the $26 at the end of the day. I’m greatly disappointed at the lack of integrity and accountability of this company. Clearly, $26 was more important than morals, ethics, and being a honest local business. I’ll be taking my holiday gift budget elsewhere.

Always get a cheesecake here whenever I’m in town. Love the flavor and texture of these cheesecakes—not as dense and sweet as American cheesecakes. I’ve had the original which is a classic and tastes great, and tried the Ube cheesecake last time which was also really delicious! Look forward to trying out their other flavors in the future.

I like your cake very much, but I was go to the store on Tuesday afternoon, because it is early and I know your business is very good, so I want to order in advance and pick it up later, but a woman said that this was not allowed. I am curious, if it is not allowed, then your online order also needs to be closed. Because you do not allow the order to come back later to pick it up. If so, it is really disappointing

This was my first time trying Japanese Cheesecake and I was impressed. The texture resembles extremely smooth airy pound cake with a light cream cheese aftertaste unlike the heavy custard consistency of its Western counterpart. It still needs refrigeration since it contains cream cheese. For $12 it's a good value and can be cut into four to six slices depending on the size of your group. In addition to in-person ordering they also offer next day online pickup on their website. Can't wait to try their other flavors. Located next to Din Tai Fung inside the Westfield Arcadia Mall.

I ordered strawberry, but when I opened the box I knew it was the matcha thing,, it was very disappointted

This doesn't compare to many cheesecakes you will find in Tokyo and even other areas of Asia, but it is the best I've had in America so far. The outside is a little dry, but the center is nice and moist. They only have classic and coffee flavors. I would like to see a matcha added.

I've been here a few times when in town, and eating these Japanese cheesecakes is a highlight. They are slightly sweet, very light and fluffy. However, I'm not giving this place a high rating because most recently, they've shrunk the size of the cheesecakes. Very disappointed in the smaller size. Do better!

Finally got to taste the famous Uncle Tetsu cheesecake in CA. Loved it. It was fluffy and tasty. I got the original. Quite large. Enough for four people and reasonably priced.

So I drove about 1 hr 30 min to get here and it wasn't worth it. small size just for one person barely. not worth for my 12 dollars I can get a big cheesecake for my hole fam at the market, too eggie flavor and they Do Not accept cash...

The cheesecake is really soft and moist. It's not for anyone who expects to have something like NY cheesecake. The texture here is more like the spong cake. There are many flavors of cheesecake, like chocolate, strawberry, matcha... I personally love the original the best. The wait time was a little bit too long because the cashier was also the one who made drinks for customers. Even if I just wanted a cheesecake, I waited for 10mins when there was only 3 people in front of me.

Uncle Tetsu’s cheesecakes are incredible, and at a great price. $12 gets you dessert for at least 4 people, or you can do what I do and take some home; it reheats amazingly in the microwave for days afterwards. Also, the mini cheese tarts are bursting with flavor and worth adding on to have something to snack on if you’re saving the cheesecake for later.

Yes, it’s Uncle Tetsu, no, there was no line. Would I have waited in line for these cheesecakes anyway? Absolutely. Japanese cheesecake is nothing like American Cheesecake, it’s fluffy - airy - and with just enough of that cheese flavor to keep you reaching for more. My favorite way of enjoying it is having it chilled. Just a few hours in the fridge will do, the cheese flavor comes out stronger that way. It’s $12 a cake, with the pricer one being their basque running for $32. Cake size is basically individual portions because who’s going to be sharing? Overall, taste wise and service here and with every other location has been consistent. Will continue to come and indulge at Tetsu. :] RECOMMEND!

first time having japanese cheese cake and had the Oreo and chocolate flavors was delicious got helped by this very kind and polite women named Jackie super polite and would come again just for the service. Will definitely be coming for a piece Everytime I'm in the area just for the service.

Had a great experience picking up a last minute gift for a friends birthday! Jackie helped me pick out the green tea cheesecake and was super helpful and friendly. The cheesecake was really delicious, really light and perfectly sweetened with the right amount of that matcha flavor. Definitely coming back!

Japanese cheesecake is definitely my favorite because it’s light and fluffy and this place makes it perfectly.

Ordered an original and the chocolate peppermint. Fluffy as much as its popularity when the location first opened. Original is hardly sweet at all, like eating a cake-lite, so really good for a cake craving. Chocolate peppermint hits with a minty aftertaste that was pleasant, also not too sweet here despite being chocolate.

I wish the cake was jiggly as on the internet , but it was good , price is 12 dlls for a whole cheesecake ,

It was delicious. We bought an original cheese tart and chocolate tart and took home an original cheesecake. The tart was delicious and the cheesecake was airy (not sure how to spell) and fluffy. Personally I wasn’t a fan of the chocolate tart but some how that was devoured too.

Fluffy cheesecake is the best and my favorite cheese tart of all time are served here. I'm so happy they have a location out here, I longer have to drive down to L.A. If you're looking for a lighter version of the traditional cheesecake this is the place.

Love these pastries!! My go to for celebrations and when the craving for sweets hits. Just perfect 😍

The original cheesecake is the bomb. Please open one here in Las Vegas please, please. I love Japanese cheesecake and my colleagues, friends, and family. I went to Hawaii and this is one of my pasalubong or gifts for my colleagues and now they are all craving these.

I love these cheesecakes, and I don't usually like cheesecakes. They have told me they sell out in the afternoon, but you can order ahead online and give a pickup time to be safe.

First time trying Japanese cheesecake, its like if an angle cake, east coast cheesecake, and a pancake had a baby. Fluffy, airy, and sweet.

JIGGLY! CHEESECAKE! What more could you ask for? Uncle Tetsu’s is SO good and I always order at least 10 cakes to bring back as gifts for my family. Its texture is similar to that of a souffle, but with a firm enough hold that it won’t fall apart on you when cutting through. It’s perfectly balanced in sweetness, with the undertone of eggs introducing a subtle savoriness. I’ve tried all their special flavors as well, and those are just as fantastic as the original!
