I wish the cake was jiggly as on the internet , but it was good , price is 12 dlls for a whole cheesecake ,

Yes, it’s Uncle Tetsu, no, there was no line. Would I have waited in line for these cheesecakes anyway? Absolutely. Japanese cheesecake is nothing like American Cheesecake, it’s fluffy - airy - and with just enough of that cheese flavor to keep you reaching for more. My favorite way of enjoying it is having it chilled. Just a few hours in the fridge will do, the cheese flavor comes out stronger that way. It’s $12 a cake, with the pricer one being their basque running for $32. Cake size is basically individual portions because who’s going to be sharing? Overall, taste wise and service here and with every other location has been consistent. Will continue to come and indulge at Tetsu. :] RECOMMEND!

This was my first time trying Japanese Cheesecake and I was impressed. The texture resembles extremely smooth airy pound cake with a light cream cheese aftertaste unlike the heavy custard consistency of its Western counterpart. It still needs refrigeration since it contains cream cheese. For $12 it's a good value and can be cut into four to six slices depending on the size of your group. In addition to in-person ordering they also offer next day online pickup on their website. Can't wait to try their other flavors. Located next to Din Tai Fung inside the Westfield Arcadia Mall.

So I drove about 1 hr 30 min to get here and it wasn't worth it. small size just for one person barely. not worth for my 12 dollars I can get a big cheesecake for my hole fam at the market,too eggie flavor and they Do Not accept cash...

I love these cheesecakes, and I don't usually like cheesecakes. They have told me they sell out in the afternoon, but you can order ahead online and give a pickup time to be safe.

Incredibly lilght, soft and apongy cheese cake that is net excessively sweet. A good dessert or mid-afternoon ssnack if you are looking fir something light.

GO EARLY. They close 2 hours earlier than online says they do. Drove 30 minutes to this place 3 nights in a row and they were turning the lights out already every time.

Ordered an original and the chocolate peppermint. Fluffy as much as its popularity when the location first opened. Original is hardly sweet at all, like eating a cake-lite, so really good for a cake craving. Chocolate peppermint hits with a minty aftertaste that was pleasant, also not too sweet here despite being chocolate.

Always get a cheesecake here whenever I’m in town. Love the flavor and texture of these cheesecakes—not as dense and sweet as American cheesecakes. I’ve had the original which is a classic and tastes great, and tried the Ube cheesecake last time which was also really delicious! Look forward to trying out their other flavors in the future.

Tried it for the first time. It was good! The area is clean!
