Another year went by and it's time to revisit one of my favorite cakes. They're running a special: get a mini cheesecake and a tart for $10 -- who can say no to that??! So we went with the ube tart and of course it never disappoints -- next time, I've gotta try their matcha. For the mini cheesecake, I tried the pandan, which had a nice coconut base and pandan is subtle. Service was standard. I wish they offered utensils and napkins with your purchase.
I had to ring the bell for service to get the workers' attention. I don't care for their cheesecakes, but love their cheese tarts. I've tried original, ube, green tea, and most recently chocolate. My favorite is still the original cheese tart, followed by the chocolate. Cashless payments only.
Haven't had uncle tetsu in a minute and the basque cheesecake was calling me. I've never tried there's so thought I'd give it a shot. Meh..it's ok..it's def eggey and has a sour aftertaste. Maybe it's just me but probably wouldn't get that again. The regular cheesecake cookies cream on the other hand was so good! Really light in texture and not too overpowering in flavor. Would get that again!
Service was friendly and knowledgeable. My kid is really into Korean and Japanese foods so when we found our selves hungry at Serramonte mall, we ran into this place while looking for a sweet treat after lunch. I saw cheesecake and was instantly sold. However Japanese cheesecake is not the same texture or consistency as American cheesecake lol but it's really tasty! We sampled a few of the items they had available. My gut said to order the strawberry Japanese cheesecake but I saw the seasonal flavor, cherry blossom, and ordered that. The flavor was of the blossom, not very cherry at all. Similar to anything lavender. It wasn't bad but it wasn't my favorite. We also ordered the Japanese tart in original flavor and THAT is similar to anything lavender American cheesecake oddly enough and I devoured it my kid went to buy the other three flavors of the tarts which were: matcha, ube and strawberry. First I will note that the consistency of the flavored tarts were much softer, but not runny, compared to original Japanese tart. Matcha - neither of us will ever order that flavor again. Matcha is a tricky thing, too much and it's hard to keep eating. And that's what happened here. Strawberry and ube were equally delish with my preference being the strawberry and my kids preference was the ube. Both mild as far as sweetness goes. The Japanese cheesecake has this odd, but not repulsive, texture. It's light and fluffy and has tiny air pockets but when you bite into this cloud thing it squishes in your mouth. So hard to describe. Definitely recommend checking them out. They sold out a few times while we're there of the small Japanese cheesecakes and the original flavor Japanese tarts. Ambiance is well it's a mall lol so take what you can from that 8/10 will be back
I'm between 4 and 5 stars on this one - buuuut I decided to lean towards the 5 star because of the experience. I'm actually not super into cheesecake, but Japanese-style cheesecake suits my fancy more as it's not as "cheesey" and more like spongecake (so it's personal preference). I really like ube too - and they do a good job getting enough ube flavor in there (I like my flavors strong.) The value is really good too - so it's something you can grab everytime you're in the mall :) Sometimes, the cheesecakes are still warm when you're there (at least when I'm in the San Mateo location) and the texture is suppppper goood (after you refrigerate them, it changes it permanently.) When I was here, the cheesecake was already fridged - but it's still really good. Again, the cheesecake isn't that cheesey or dense like traditional cheesecake - so if you like that, you may not like this as much. But it is lighter and honestly probably easier on the calories at least a little bit. I only get the ube flavor because I remember not liking the other stuff I tried many many years ago - but I forgot that maybe it's possible to sample so that's definitely the way to go. (I'd be interested in the matcha and yuzu... and I guess the original because that sounds classic). Service-wise, the lady was super nice and helpful. No worries there :) Hope Uncle Tetsu continues to do what they do for a long time! Mom is always excited for the cheesecake that we bring back to her in Chicago :)
Tried all the different flavors with the biscotti free sample. Tried a tart for the first time - those seem to be the first to sell out at other locations. Also got a discount on future purchase. Fast and friendly service. This location is right by the foodcourt - its strange how mall foodcourts have all the good stuff these days... The cheesecakes are very light and the tarts are heavy with a tasty crispy crust that compliments the cheesecake part well. Biscotti seems to be made with the usual cheesecake but then baked twice. I think its a good idea - you could probably do this at home too with extra cheesecake that is no longer fresh. There are so many different flavors - you could try them all and never get bored. In general this mall is alive and well. Many good, relevant stores that attract people in a time where shopping online is the thing to do.
Very consistent with the quality of their cheesecakes. Every single one I've had is very soft and fluffy! Service here is pretty efficient; every cheesecake is made-ready so you'd be in and out under 3 mins. The only complaint I have is all their flavored cheesecakes taste almost just like plain ones... you can taste a bittttt of the flavor like Oreo and Ube but barely.
Located in Stonestown mall, the original cake is to die for. Service is attentive and you can tell they cook the cakes on-site which I appreciate. Also, beginning from the first bite your taste buds will be in a trance, as the cake is the perfect mixture of sweet, salty, gooey and buttery. The flavors are almost perfect. I highly recommend this place but it can be dangerous for those trying to diet. Wish they had some seating in their area, but hey it's a food court.
I found the original cheesecake to be overpriced and underwhelming. The service was just okay. I used the bell on the counter since the cashier was in the back; she came to the counter after I rang it and took my order. She then came back with the box and handed it to me; I'm unsure if the cheesecake was made fresh but it had a bit of a staleness to it that permeated with each bite. I think I had different expectations on the flavor profile? Maybe I just need to try it again.
(Hiroyuki Sanada voiceover) Yes, this is going to be a Mazda...oops. No, this is a follow up data point review. Because scientific theory rests on reproducible data. The vibe is the fabulous Uncle Tetsu Bakery! Tam warmly greeted me! I wanted to get something special for my coworkers who endured and triumphed over major setbacks this AM! What better way to celebrate success than Uncle Tetsu! Had to get the Pandan!!!! So good! I got two. Yes, two. One for my friends. The other for me of course! The subtle coconut, perfect mouthfeel, and of course that nuanced but distinct pandan flavor is inarguably oishi desu-yo! Hai! The basque also caught my eye. Had to get it. Then Ms. Tam goes above and beyond and tells me about perhaps considering a gift card. Shhhhh. Don't let this limited time offer get out. Through some complicated and convoluted mathematics that doesn't involve getting a 5 on the AP BC calculus test as a junior. Ohh the glory days of yore. I was able to leave w/ 3 for the price of 2 and still pocket $10. Whut? Honto desu-yo! And trust me because I look trustworthy on and off the screen. The ladies love both flavors! Am I right ladies? Would order everything again! I have. Thanks, Tam! Woohoo!
We met up with family in the City then on to Stonestown, HMart and Serramonte malls to hang out for the day. One of the places we stopped was at Uncle Tetsu's for some yummy, fluffy, cheesecake-y goodness. I got a smaller size pandan cake and the basic cheesecake tart "on special" for $16. I think the pandan cake is $13 and the tarts are $4 so really, a dollar off. The tart almost made it to driving past Golden Gate Park, i.e., devoured on 19th Avenue. The filling was so impossibly silky smooth, with a crisp and flaky crust. I should have gotten two! But the cheese cake made it over two bridges. I cut it half to give to my dad. I think he ate the cake before the Jollibee fried chicken we brought back, lol. Hubby and I had a quarter that night and finished it for breakfast the next morning. Although it was well packaged, the design on top it didn't really survive the drive. Fortunately, I took a photo of some chocolate cakes on display at the store. So clever with the little face masks and "be safe" imprinted on top.
We have been here a few times, but we finally wanted to leave a review! It's definitely cake skewed towards the Asian palette, but it's still good. Their usual cheesecake is very light and spongy. Better to not think of it like cheesecake. If anything, I'm reminded of my Mom's angel food cake when I was little. We recently got their Basque cheesecake to try something new. It tasted like I expected, but it's still lighter and less sweet than what I'm used to. I went home and still looked for a chocolate or caramel sauce to top it off. I'll try a tart the next time I'm in the area maybe. Keep up the good work!
Uncle Tetsu is a cheesecake chain that offers amazing Japanese-style cheesecake. My grandpa in Taiwan loves Uncle Tetsu, so I'm thrilled that there's locations in the Bay Area, and found the Daly City location in Serramonte Mall! For anyone unaware, Japanese-style cheesecake is softer and spongier, like a sponge cake. So don't come here expecting the dense New York-style cheesecake. I also enjoy the cheese tarts that they offer! The best flavors IMHO include matcha, ube, and black sesame. During Valentine's Weekend, they also gave me stickers as part of their promo for buying ube crinkle cookies. The staff was VERY confused and didn't seem to speak English very fluently, but after clearing some confusion, they gave me two sticker sheets. read more
I came by for the free mini cheesecake with purchase for national cheesecake day. I got the madeleine for $3.50 and it was super dry and over baked. However, the mini cheesecake was nice and fluffy without being too sweet. Service was nice. read more
Fresh out of the oven, it tastes so creamy, sweetness is well balanced. The service is quick, although it's a bit of higher priced. But the ingredients definitely aren't cheap. It's like a cheesecake on a tart. It just smells into your mouth full of flavor of strawberry, matcha and Ube. read more

I remember back when Uncle Tetsu was still new to the Bay Area when they first opened their location in Hillsdale mall. Ofc me being the bandwagon hopper, I wanted to see what the hype was about. I kid you not, there was a minimum 2 hour wait and a purchase limit of 2 cakes. Yes, I ended up waiting 2 long hours for them but it was worth it at the time. Glad to see them quickly expanding throughout the bay! Pictured is the Ube and Matcha one. Light and fluffy. Not too sweet. Ube flavor is a very subtle where as the matcha one you get a slightly butter aftertaste, which is what you want. Still waiting to check off strawberry, sesame, and chocolate off my list! read more
Love these Japanese Cheesecakes! I have tried both the Ube and Pandan Coconut and both were delicious. They are very light and squishy. I liked the pandan coconut the best! Also tried the small tart cheesecakes and they were really good as well. This location was also very kind. The woman gave me samples to try other flavors and recommendations. I would return! read more
Cake is okay, but I'm not sure if it's worth the hype. During Black Friday weekend they were running a promo for 4 cheese tarts after purchasing a $50 gift card. We immediately went ahead and purchased the Japanese cheese cakes using the gift cards. Final impression: this might be a one and done for me. Not impressed by the light flavors. Japanese cakes: I tried the ube and original Japanese cheese cakes. The cake has the texture of a slightly creamier pound cake. The flavors were very muted and fairly calm. Original has an eggier taste, while the one is slightly sweeter. Cheese tarts: we had the green tea, ube, original, and chocolate. The flavors were slightly more significant when compared to the cake peers. Still the flavors were not all that present. read more

Hi Andrew,…
So glad there's an Uncle Tetsu now in Serramonte so I don't have to go to DTSF for one. Since Zanze's Cheesecake is officially closed, this is the next best thing to the fluffy Japanese cheesecakes. If you want a cake as fluffy as a Filipino "mamon" definitely go for the $12.90 cheesecakes. They have a ton of flavors for that: original, matcha, ube, oreo, etc. but if you want something heavy, burnt cheesecake is THE cake. It's very filling, dense, and must be refrigerated. I would say this is the cake you bring to parties and gatherings. They also have cheese tarts which they only sell on the weekends so make sure you don't miss that! For $16, you get 4 tarts - your choice of original, ube, chocolate and matcha :) i didn't like the tarts as much, it was too watery in the center. :/ read more

I believe in second chances and thought my recent visit would redeem the one from over 6 months ago, but unfortunately it did not. I was hoping they would've kept the Oreo basque cheesecake on their menu but it is now replaced with Ube. So I decided to try the original in Oreo but there was barely any Oreo inside the cheesecake! If you look at my pictures, you hardly see some Oreo specks in there. It's basically just an original cheesecake with a Oreo cookie on top! Why even bother call it Oreo cheesecake if there's not any Oreo in the cheesecake?! It's quite deceiving and I'm not sure why they are so skimp on the Oreo...So disappointed again... read more

Hi Michelle,…
Pro tip: If they have any gift card sales, you can buy them and use them on the spot. We knew we were getting some cheesecakes as gifts, so we ended up buying the $50 gift card and it came with a free box of 4 cheese tarts. If you're not into Japanese cheesecakes (cross between Asian sponge cake and American cheesecake), then don't come otherwise you'll be disappointed. Highlights: I'm not a huge fan of Japanese cheesecakes so I actually thought the cheese tarts were more fun. The crust on the cheese tarts is really fun, the flavors are strong and it's a much smaller commitment. Otherwise, the Japanese cheesecake is still really soft and enjoyable but it's very subtle in flavor. Lowlights: They don't sell by the slice and only have 1 size of cheesecakes and they don't offer samples. I'm waiting for them to come out with smaller cheesecakes, or one cheesecake comprised of different slices to try more items, or to offer samples! The ube flavor is exceptionally weak in my opinion. read more
I keep having these weird experiences with Tetsu where I just don't get the hype. My coworker was having a social distanced birthday so we all chipped into get her this ube cheesecake because she always wanted to try this place and because she likes Ube. The flavor is very mild for the Ube and I don't feel that the cheesecake is light or luscious. She thanked us all but I felt that she felt disappointed as well. With tax it's a little under $13. read more

Ube cheesecake was lovely in texture and delicious! Not too sweet so I felt like I could easily eat multiple slices. It was a subtle cream cheese flavor on the front bite and more Ube on the aftertaste. You really could tell they used real cream cheese! Service was quick and great. We saw some Basque cheesecakes getting freshly baked and packaged on the side. This location is inside the mall and the food court has tables. read more

Dear Uncle Tetsu, Welcome to Serramonte! Thank you for opening right before Christmas. I was just waiting in line at Daiso, when I saw people walking around the parking lot with Uncle Tetsu bags. That can only mean one thing. The Uncle has landed! I currently do not see the pre-order option on their app, but it was ok. It was still pretty early, so maybe there wasn't a line. I walked right up and ordered the regular cheesecake. I've had their other flavors before, however, i'm sad to see they had the same flavors as Stonetown. They had the original, Ube, chocolate and strawberry, along with the burnt basque cake. They also had different flavors of biscotti. There was original, chocolate and matcha. I've had all the flavors before my favorite is in this order : original, ube, strawberry and chocolate. The basque one has a hint of lemon to it, so i didn't think it was worth the price. I ended up getting the original cheesecake and the biscotti. I was a little disappointed that the chesecake wasn't hot like it was when I got it in San Mateo when they first open. However, the cake made it for itself, as you can smell how beautiful this as. You can really taste the egg and the cheese! I recommend eating this as soon as you can as it still has that souffle sponge cake texture. So my friend has told me before that i have to try to biscotti ($4.50), so I gave in today and got the regular one. They said that their biscotti is a twice baked cheescake sliced up. This is prob that best advice any friend has given me as it was amazing. Just close your eyes, and imagine eating a cheesecake flavored cookie! Best served with coffee! Overall, this location is bigger and the service is just as pleasant as all their other locations. However, I really recommend that their two locations do different flavors, like matcha and oreo. If you are not a franchise you will attract more customers that way. I also wish they sold drinks here like the one in San Mateo read more

The cakes were not too sweet! And that's a great compliment haha. They are flavorful without being too overpowering. The original flavor was my favorite as it was extremely simple and yet so delicious! The matcha and ube were good but their flavors were a bit lackluster. I would definitely recommend Uncle Tetsu! read more

So happy that there's an Uncle Tetsu location closer to me! I used to go all the way to the Uncle Tetsu at Hillsdale Mall and now I don't need to! This location is located inside the Serramonte Mall, across from Dick's Sporting Goods. Very convenient to stop by. Currently, they are offering their signature japanese cheesecakes for $11.80 with the available flavors: original, matcha, chocolate, ube, strawberry, and ube. They also offer the burnt basque cakes for $21.80 with the original and oreo flavors. I ordered the ube cheesecake and it was very fluffy, moist, and light with subtle flavor. Still very delicious and you won't feel heavy/full eating it! The guy that was helping me mentioned that their popular cheesecake flavors are original, ube, and oreo. He also mentioned that the basque cakes are a bit more sweet since they're caramelized. If you're looking for something less sweet, stick with their signature japanese cheesecakes! Service was very fast and friendly. There was no wait. Hopefully, they will sell drinks at this location soon! read more
Light, fluffy Japanese cheesecake. I got the rose and lychee seasonal flavor. It wasn't very sweet at all and I couldn't really taste much lychee. Either way, something about it was very addictive, and the more I ate it, the more I liked it! I've been told the Oreo one is sweeter, which may suite my taste more. read more

I've tried uncle tetsu before but this time was so much better for some reason? We ordered the Ube cheesecake, it was so soft and fluffy-- not dry at all. I'm not too much of a sweets person, so this was perfect. It's not overly sweet like traditional cheesecake. The location is inside the mall near the food court, luckily there wasn't a line or else we probably wouldn't have gotten it. The staff was super friendly and very excited to help us. I would go back again. read more

Located within Serramonte Mall is this store front for Uncle Tetsu- Japanese style cheesecake which are usually more fluffy and a savory/sweet style of cake that's not too sweet. I always try to get a Japanese Cheese cake while traveling in Japan, this isn't that close to it but somewhat similar. There's no frosting or anything around it but it's a fluffier style small little cake. I asked what the most popular flavors were and they were Ube and cookies and cream (especially for the kids) the worker stated x so I got the original and the ube style. Super easy to eat and soft. Easy to cut too and it is on the smaller slide but something easy to bring to a potluck. I came on a Saturday night upon closing and luckily they still had all flavors available. The staff was super friendly, I asked for forks and plates too. And they take Apple Pay! read more

Major disappointment!! Don't go to the Serramonte location, they're cheesecake is raw and the chocolate cake was chipped off. I love and have been purchasing Uncle Tetsu's cheesecake around the Bay Area. I've ordered from the Santa Clara location, sunset location, it all came out warm, soft, fluffy, very delicious. This was my first and will be my last time of purchasing at the Daly City location. I ordered the Oreo, slice the cake, it was raw!! Pieces started falling apart and it was cold. The chocolate cake it was chipped off! This really breaks me, my kids are so excited, but they can't eat it! As a responsible parent, I would not feed this raw cake and chipped off cake to my kids! The reason for the 2 stars only because I love the other locations but not the Daly City. And the price, $26 for 2 cake, completely lost! This time is garbage.! read more

Very cute shop in the mall located at the food court! Although it was pricey, (4 for $16) it is worth a try if you like cheesecake tart (don't remember what it was named exactly). There's four flavors: matcha, ube, regular and chocolate. Really like how you can mix and match! read more
