Uncle Tetsu is a popular spot known for its Japanese-style cheesecakes and tarts, offering a variety of flavors like classic, ube cheese tart, pandan coconut, and cookies n cream. The cheesecakes are soft, fluffy, and light, with a sponge cake texture that melts in the mouth. The ube cheesecake is especially tasty, while the pandan coconut flavor is more subtle than expected. The cheese tart features a creamy, buttery filling with a slightly crunchy crust, making it a delightful treat. Some reviews mention that the flavors are not too strong, and the desserts are less egg-heavy than Western-style cheesecakes. Prices are reasonable, with deals like the mini cheesecake and cheesetart combo for around $10, or cheesecakes for about $15 for six. Service is fast and friendly, though the shop can sometimes have a long line. The location inside Hillsdale Shopping Center and Westfield Valley Mall is convenient, with outdoor seating available. Overall, Uncle Tetsu offers a delicious, authentic Japanese dessert experience, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings and enjoying a light, melt-in-your-mouth treat.
