$15 for a whole fluffy Japanese cheesecake is a pretty good deal in my opinion! I got the pandan coconut cheesecake since I love anything pandan and really enjoyed it. The coconut flavor was very apparent but I do wish the pandan flavor was a little stronger. It was also a bit on the sweet side for me, moreso than the original flavor. Quick service at the grab and go stand in Valley Fair Mall, located in a pretty crowded area of the mall near a lot of other Asian food (Shihlin Taiwanese snacks, Ramen Nagi, Marugame Udon, etc). I would love to try some of their other flavors, but don't have occasions to buy whole cakes super often- I wish they had a sampler set and/or sold pieces by the slice.
If you are down shopping at Valley Fair, be sure to give these a try. I got the Japanese strawberry and cookies and cream cheesecake. They are so fluffy and delicious. Trust me, you won't be able to stop at just one bite. The service is excellent when it comes to speed; you literally walk up to the counter and are out walking with your treats in seconds. When it comes to the ambiance, it is inside the mall, so it's basically another food stand.
We ordered the regular cheesecake and the regular cheese type. They were both delicious but she started is definitely a must. Service was fast and staff members were definitely super nice. They make it fresh.
Not the biggest fan of cheesecake but I still found this one delicious! It's light, fluffy, and not overly cheesy which I liked. Definitely a must try at least once in your life. I want to try the ube cheesecake next time
If you're looking for a delicious and unique treat, Uncle Tetsu Japanese Cheesecake is never disappoints ! Not only is the cheesecake incredibly light and fluffy, but it is the perfect gift. The texture is smooth, not overly sweet, and just melts in your mouth, making it the perfect indulgence. It's also a fantastic gift--beautifully packaged and always a crowd-pleaser. I love how they offer seasonal flavors that keep things interesting; it's always fun to try something new.
I haven't been to Uncle Tetsu in so long! I'm genuinely always surprised that each cheesecake is only $15 but I guess it doesn't take many ingredients to make and the portion sizes at the end of the day are not a lot. I came 15 minutes before closing time and I was surprised they still had all their flavors available which is great. I ordered the Pandan Coconut Cheesecake and I thought it was pretty good. I ate a lot of these Japanese sponge cake esque items in NYC and I think that both are pretty comparable as this was also pretty moist. I wish the pandan flavor was a bit stronger though. Overall great dessert option to share among friends while at Valley Fair.
I recently was craving some tarts but when I arrived, early in the da, during a weekday, all they had was ube and pumpkin tarts. Not a fan of either of those flavor, so I got the strawberry cheesecake. I've had a variety of their cheesecake flavors before including the original, pandan and black sesame. But I can't say I've had their strawberry before this most recent time. So creamy and yummy. Strawberry flavor was there and subtle. Love this place for a light dessert. And if you're the only one eating it, you can have it over several days.
Amazingly good sponge like cheesecake. Only my 2nd time having it and a reminder that these cakes are pretty good Light, not so sweet and just delicious Inside Valleyfair Mall right outside Macy's on the second floor. Lots of flavors and I will be back to try others.
Love Uncle Testsu's Japanese cheesecakes! I've tried almost every flavor and haven't had one I disliked. Got the ube again which has a pretty light flavor. The texture is always super fluffy and addicting to eat. The cheesecakes are already pre-made so there's no wait. There's only a small storefront next to Ramen Nagi with no seating. I usually take there to-go but there's seating around the mall for anyone who wants it there.
Stopped by Uncle Tetsu to get some cheesecake for the fam. Each cheesecake is now $15. I ordered 3. From best to least favorite... -coffee -original -oreo Staff is friendly. Pretty quick to order and leave (as long as the person in front doesn't know what they want and hold the line). *this happened to us haha Parking in the garage. I believe first 2 hours are free for valley fair.
