    Super friendly service from the gal that let us sample the mango & Basque cheesecake. I went with the intention to buy the Ube. So that's what we ended up bringing home. Really delicious cake. So light & airy. The Basque was much more dense but also very good. We'll be back when in the neighborhood to try some of the cheese tarts next time.

    I was so excited to see this place had opened in this plaza so close to my work. We went to lunch at a restaurant in the same plaza and I noticed it. I decided to stop by before headed back to work. They have plenty of parking nearby in the plaza. Once you walk in it is very welcoming and they have a TV showing the menus and they have some for display and samples. This is a family friendly establishment without any seating area so it is a takeout. I have tried multiple flavours of cakes and I have loved every single one of them. My favourite is the basque cake. They now also offer a frequent customer card. Their cheesecakes are different than the traditional American cheesecakes. They are fluffier not a sweet and a lighter feeling.

    One Saturday afternoon, we found out that Uncle Tetsu has a location in Eastvale. Our family really likes their cakes, so we purchased the original cheesecake to go. It was just as good as we remembered. It's nice to have this option close by.

    Strawberry cheese tart. Very yogurt-like

    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.

    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!

    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 .

    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
    Linh Y.

    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

    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.

    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

Banana Splits, Sundaes and shakes. Farrell's comes to mind for you old timers. Now that we are all so much more health conscious these places have gone the route of the travel agent. My grandkids wanted Fro Yo to which I said Fro No! We are getting real ice cream. I tracked down Nobibi in Eastvale. Lots of variety of ice cream dishes and apparently you can get milk ice cream and some other kind. I zoned out so I don't know what the other type is and I don't care to know. My granddaughter wanted the Strawberry Blush. Lucky for me she is a tiny 6 year old girl so I got to eat the majority of the Strawberry Blush. It was delicious. It had Poke sticks, strawberry slices, crunchy strawberry things and Frosted Flakes which was a nice touch. It was awesome. Not quite the Farrell's experience of the 70's but a pleasant outing for real ice cream nonetheless. Definitely Recommended

Unfortunately, the service set a negative tone right from the start. As for the ice cream, it's priced as a premium product, but honestly, there wasn't anything particularly special about it. For the cost, I expected a much better overall experience and higher-quality product.

This was a bit out of the way, but still somewhat close hy in Ontario. I really like the shopping center its in. Lots of communal seating outside.

From coffees, to halo halo to baked goods to cookies to shakes and matcha and everything else inbetween. Staff is friendly, the drinks do take some time to make. We had their halo halo, banana pudding matcha, several of their crinkles, and their guava cheese. The halo halo looks amazing. So many colors. It was very cold. But had no flavors.... tasted like drinking milk with ice. Even the little jellies had no flavors. It wad just loke drinking iced milk. The matcha pudding was horrendous. No real flavors except for bitterness. Seemed like it was watered down. Matcha was not good at all. The crinkles all tasted the same. I didnt know which was which. The guava one had a minor hint of guava. The guava cheese though was really good. Almost rivals that of Portos. But with amazing Filipino desserts closer to home (Cafe 86). And if im really hurting for halo halo closer to home in Seafood City. I dont see myself going out of my way to make a trip here again, unfortunately.

Specifically, the slice of tiramisu for the birthday boy wasn't available so in a haste, I ordered the full tiramisu in the display case. The tres leches I ordered wasn't in stock and was replaced by vanilla rolls. I read so many positive reviews, I assumed any cake should be good. Sadly, the vanilla roll was inedible. The cake part was dense and dry. It seemed like the type of cake they'd use for tres leches but of course, without the milk which made it taste really bad. The red velvet was equally dry and wasn't made with cream cheese frosting. It was bland and actually tasted like cheap ingredients. The worst part was the $30 tiramisu for birthday boy. It had the same dense and dry sponge cake and was nothing like traditional tiramisu. I was really embarrassed and we couldn't finish it. I don't write these reviews lightly but I was extremely disappointed, will not return, and will not recommend.
