I only found out about this place recently. I used to drive up to LA to buy them. Now you're only 26 min away! I love you have different flavors now!
Was excited to discover we have an Uncle Tetsu right here in our area! Tried the Original, Ube and Strawberry. All were great! Everyone was friendly and welcoming.
Don’t really know the ambience and service yet I’m excited to check it out in person, usually order online and for delivery and they always deliver! Dessert worth the calories and sugar intake. They’re beautifully packaged as well every delivery I get.
My favorite cheesecake place, so I look for one every time I travel. This one actually has an knline order for pick up, which makes life easier and more efficient. And they also have some samples to taste!!

Tried Uncle Tetsu’s cheesecake and it absolutely lives up to the hype! Light, fluffy, and perfectly balanced — not overly sweet, which lets the rich cheese flavor shine through. It melts in your mouth and feels more like a cloud than a cake. A must-try for anyone who loves Japanese-style desserts.

What a treat! A mentor friend had bought this for me and my family - a cake that hits the Asian desert palate: it is not too sweet!!! The ube flavor is comforting and light, not overpowering. If you haven’t had a Japanese cheesecake before, this is a wonderful place to try on a local level! Not too long wait time in the early afternoon. The service was kind. You can sample whatever cheesecake they have out for the time of day. I got to try the strawberry cheesecake!
There is no seating to eat inside - it is more of a place to get a dessert gift for family and friends of which my family has been an incredibly happy recipient! Thank you all, God bless you all

I finally tried Uncle Tetsu’s famous Japanese cheesecake, and it absolutely lives up to its reputation. The cake was incredibly light, fluffy, and had the perfect jiggle – almost like a soufflé! The subtle sweetness and creamy texture made it addictive without being heavy.
The classic original flavor was my favorite, but others were delightful too. The staff were friendly, and watching the cakes being freshly baked added to the experience. While there’s often a line, the wait was reasonable (about 15 minutes), and the warm cake straight from the oven made it worthwhile.
A few notes:
✔ Best served warm– Eat it fresh for maximum melt-in-your-mouth magic.
✔ Sharing size - One cake easily serves 2-3 people.

Rude service by cashier. First time I came and didn’t expect such service when asking questions about the different products. Won’t be coming back again.

Totally being ignored when we walked in. Nobody say greeting, nobody acknowledge you and nobody offer anything. Tried the sample cheesecake, tastes awful. Don’t deserve my money and my business
