    Strawberry cheese tart. Very yogurt-like
    Kimberly H.

    Updated Version: 5 stars because their chocolate basque cheesecake is one of the BEST chocolate desserts I've ever had! For me it's better than a traditional American cheesecake and better than chocolate cake. The texture and flavor is simply amazing. And their Japanese cheesecakes are so fluffy and light. There's simply no comparisons that I can make at the moment. So yes, this is a great dessert spot for us moderate-sugared lovers!

    Super surprised to find an Uncle Tetsu in this neck of the woods. If you've never had Japanese cheesecake, imagine regular cheesecake went on a theraputic vacation, let go of all its baggage, and came back as a fluffy little cloud. Light, airy, gently sweet, and melts in your mouth!!! We went in strong with 1 regular and 1 ube (no regrets), plus a few tarts for "the road" that somehow didn't make it very far. Everything was crazy good. Yeah, it's a bit on the pricey side, but if I'm paying extra for dessert that makes me this happy, I'm not mad about it at all!!

    Uncle tetsu is known for their fluffy Japanese cheesecakes! They're light, airy and not overly sweet; the perfect dessert! Flavor options include original, ube, and cookies & cream, strawberry, and coffee. I also got a few of their cheese tarts, which were $4.50 each. Service: fairly quick/efficient. There was no line and they box up & bag your items right away after you order.

    It's a famous Japanese cheesecake pastry shop . Stopped for a quick dessert and wasn't disappointed. They have a Taro cheesecake for taste test. It was soft and creamy . The texture is very light. We took home the original cheesecake, cookies and cream , coconut panda flavors. It was so good . Self serve. No tables inside but the patio was available. Be back .

    Uncle tetsu is always a treat! Their cheesecakes are so good, but I do like their burnt cakes more. This time I ordered the pandan coconut cake. It had strong flavors and very fluffy, as always. Almost like an angel food cake. Their cheese tarts are also delicious. I would say I prefer the tarts more than the cheesecakes. All flavors are so good ! Their latest batch did seem like it was a tad bit sweeter than before. Ube flavor is probably my fav but green tea and chocolate is good too! Of course can't go wrong with original as well. They're always very friendly. They're very good at upselling, that's how they get me but I happily buy more from them!

    So we stopped by Uncle Tetsu after some Korean BBQ at 356 and decided to get the Ube Cheesecake. There was no line when we walked in and got the cheesecake right away. Ube was definitely a good call and will be back for more cheesecakes in thw future!

    Mango Basque Cake

    I have been back to this Uncle Tetsu a few times now, but didn't think to do an updated review until now. They currently have one of its specialty flavors... Mango Cheesecake. It's described as melt-in-your-mouth soft and subtly sweet. It is available for a limited time, along with other seasonal flavors like Matcha Cheesetart and Mango Basque Cake. We were celebrating my youngest daughter's HS graduation and it happened to be on Father's Day 2025. I tried a free sample of the Mango Cheesecake. It did melt in my mouth maybe a little too much and it wasn't too sweet which I like. Unfortunately, I didn't care for it because it didn't have the strong mango flavor I was looking for. I do love mangos! Anyway, I ended up buying 3 Original Cheesecakes to give to my Mom and two younger brothers and 1 Mango Basque Cake to be eaten at the lunch. Mango Basque Cake was surprisingly very good. It was slightly denser in texture compared to their other cheesecakes. I got a little bit more mango flavor, but not too much more though. Funny, when I first saw it, it looked very tiny. I was like... are we going to have enough for 11 people? LOL I had to cut them in bite size for sure. Luckily, it all worked out. Everyone got one small intimate slice! I returned here in the evening on the same day because I promised my youngest daughter I would get 1 Original Cheesecake for home. Got one of them plus one Original Cheese Tart (first time trying it)... crust was very buttery + flaky and cheese mousse filling was exceptionally creamy... it was delish! I'll be getting more of them in the different flavors in the very near future LOL. Funny, when my daughter first saw the Original Cheesecake, she noticed it was missing the Uncle Tetsu print. What happened??? Did the imprint machine went out of commission that day? Anyway, it didn't matter. Most importantly, the cheesecake was in its entirety and now it's all gone! LOL The morning staff was okay (not too smiley though), but the evening staff was better (got more smiles... thank you young man!). Service was quick as it usually is. Btw, they are cashless so bring a credit card or gift card and not cash! This location is the closest to my home so it'll be the one I will frequently visit when it's time for the yummy and delicious Japanese Original Cheesecake. Thank you Uncle Tetsu for sharing your amazing semi-sweet treats!

    4 pack of mini cheesecakes
    RoseMary F.

    I have seen many pictures of the Japanese cheesecakes with the cute logo branded on top of each serving. But had not tasted one until today. There isn't a location close to me, so when I came to this shopping center for lunch at another restaurant, I was happy to see my good old Uncle Tetsu (*:*) was here. I bought a four-pack of mini cheesecakes for the family. They are so creamy and delicious, a real treat. I was able to sample some cake and cookies because it was my friends birthday and she shared with the group. The seasonal flavor of the month was Cherry Blossom. The regular flavors on the daily menu are: Original, Uber, Strawberry, Cookies and Cream, and Pandan Coconut, more options are available. I'm now a fan and will return to try more items on the menu. Surprise your family, friends or co-workers with a treat and don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya!!

    Nothing compares to Uncle Tetsu! When I knew that I was going to be at the nearby Food Hall, I was excited that I could drop by after for my favorite Japananese cheesecake! The service is sufficient. She answered all my questions. There was no one else in the store on a Saturday afternoon. I was served quickly. My all time favorite is the Pandan coconut cheesecake. Wow it is so moist and fluffy. The pandan is the star of the show! I got the ube cookie. It was different and dry. Not my favorite. I got my friend the cherry blossom cheesecake. It is their seasonal item. They had samples of it. The mini cake was sweetly decorated with a flower. The cake itself was moist and fluffy. I didn't taste the cherry in it too much but it was certainly good! I love the packaging and the pretty bag that comes with it.

    這一家日式的起司蛋糕,我已經吃了好多年了,說實話他們的東西綿密又不會太甜,還有淡淡的起司香,我一直很喜歡,沒想到最近他們改變了,東西變小一些,應該是小了很多,當然價格也是貴了,美國的通膨實在太厲害了,謝謝你其實蛋糕都這麼貴,倒是這一家的小姐要稍微提醒一下,服務態度沒有很好,明明會講中文,勸高傲的好像只會講英文一樣,回答問題的時候態度也不是很好,希望經理能注意改進

    This dessert place is such high-quality. The desserts are the perfect balance of sweetness and a super light, dreamy and soft airy texture. This UBE mochi cookie was perfect!! I wish they had more cookie options! They always provide excellent service. They even have samples every time I come. They are really nice here. I love the interior how they display everything!

    Ube Cheesecake. Soft and delicious

    If I don't eat it same day, is it still good the next day? Should it be refridgerated?

    It's still good. Yes, it should be refrigerated if u do not plan to have it later of the day, but make sure it is cold or else will be spoiled.

    What's the size?

    They appear to be at least 6 inch in diameter

    We were on our way to visit my MIL for Mother's Day. We accidentally missed the 71 on-ramp since…read morethey changed it recently and we don't drive to the area very often. I decided I needed to take a detour to a coffee shop since we already kinda got lost. Deep Barrel Roasters & Creamery, is located in a small and old strip mall in old town Norco. Or at least I think it is. I'm not familiar with the area. I can tell you though, that navigation had us driving through newer developments and then the old part of Norco before we finally arrived. I thought we got even more lost at first. The place was actually pretty packed inside and after having our drinks and pastries, I can totally see why. The first half of the building is the cafe where you'll be greeted with some cute and funny coffee signs. There's two large shelves full of their own coffee beans of different roasts. They have a few small tables to sit and enjoy your orders, but note it is a bit of a tight fit in there. They also have a coffee bar where some people sat in front of the baristas. Past the cafe side is the creamery. I was in a rush and didn't have a chance to take a look. What we ordered; 1) Hot Mocha Rocha with soy milk - 5/5 stars. I forgot to ask for this as half sweet, but either way, it was absolutely delicious. Rich and very flavorful. 2) Iced Mocha Rocha - 5/5 stars. Just as delicious as the hot version. 3) pistachio muffin - 3/5 stars. This muffin had a generous amount of actual pistachio baked into the muffin itself which I liked, however, the muffin had more of an artificial pistachio flavor for me. I still ate it but I wasn't in love with that one. 4) chocolate croissant - 5/5 stars. This was such a hit, we ran out right away. Everyone in our group attacked these so fast. I have to say, I am SAD that I live so far from Deep Barrel Roasters & Creamery. They have a lot of pastries, ice cream including deep fried ice cream, and beverages. I absolutely loved this place and look forward to visiting them again. Next time, I for sure will grab a dozen or more to share with the family and bring some home, and we will definitely grab some frozen treats too. Deep Barrel, is a gem. Norco, sure is lucky to have them. They are a must if you are ever in the area.

    Food, service, and ambiance excellent…read more Great baked goods, excellent coffee, and very nice people. Can't stop going back!

    I love the Wushiland Eastvale location! Their taro drinks are seriously amazing you can actually…read moretaste the real taro paste, which makes it feel super authentic and not overly artificial like a lot of other places. It's rich, creamy, and honestly so filling it could be a meal replacement. The location is great and easy to get to, and the owner is really nice and welcoming. You can tell they care about quality and customer experience. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I'm craving a good taro drink!

    I stopped by Wushiland Boba recently and overall had a pretty good experience…read more Location It's in a convenient spot inside the food hall with plenty of parking, which is always a win. Easy to get in and Google Map takes you right to the location without any hassle. Menu Variety They have a really nice variety of drinks to choose from - classic milk teas, fruit teas, and some more unique options. I also appreciated that they offer sweetness adjustments and caffeine-free options, which is great depending on what you're in the mood for. What I Tried I tried one of the drinks with the ice cream, and honestly, it was a bit underwhelming. There was barely any icecream in it, and I didn't feel like it made much of a difference. I would probably just stick to a regular drink next time. The grass jelly was actually really good and something I would definitely get again.
