" While the cheesecakes are fantastic, I found the service somewhat lacking during peak hours. The cheesecakes themselves are divine, with a light spongy texture that is perfect for those who find traditional cheesecakes too dense. Worth a visit, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had the matcha cheesecake, and it was sublime! Soft, airy, and not overly sweet—everything you want in a dessert. The atmosphere is casual, which makes it great for a quick dessert break while shopping. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had my first taste of Japanese cheesecake here and WOW! It’s so fluffy and unique compared to any cheesecake I’ve had before. I love how it’s not overly sweet, so I didn’t feel guilty eating the whole cake. I will definitely make this a regular stop whenever I’m in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're expecting a traditional heavy cheesecake, you might be disappointed. This is a unique light version that rivals any fluffy sponge cake. Both the original and matcha flavors I tried were fantastic—great portions for the price too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried many cheesecakes, but Uncle Tetsu's is incredibly special. The original flavor practically melts in your mouth! The staff was friendly, and I could see my cake being made fresh right behind the counter. It's definitely worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was delightful! My friends and I enjoyed the cheesecakes while catching up, and its lightness made it easy to indulge without feeling guilty. The only downside was the waiting line, but it moved surprisingly fast. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place can get quite busy, but their cheesecakes are absolutely worth the wait! I enjoyed every bite of the Ube cheesecake. The environment was cozy, perfect for a casual dessert outing. " (*Curated Review*)
