Packaging is super cute!
Amy G.

We tried the ube Cheesecake and the mango tart. When I say I have never tried anything richer, I mean it. We were able to sample the strawberry and the matcha prior to making our selection. The size was bigger than expected, which is always a plus. The store was clean. The staff was very sweet and patient. It was our first time there and they were really helpful and didn't make us feel like a nuisance at all.

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 very excited to give Tetsu a try, giving I been wanting to try it for so long, but man was it disappointing. The texture of the cheesecake is very enjoyable, but it is not tasty at all. I enjoyed the cookies more then I did the cheesecake, which I would say give a try.

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.

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!!

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!

Coffee Cheesecake

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.

We tried this place after we went to tacos, los cholos, and it was really good. We got the coconut mini cheesecake. We all enjoyed it. It was more like a little sample for us to see if we actually like the texture. I would like to go back and try different ones. We liked the texture and the density. The service was fine and the place was empty when we got there so service was prompt and the place looked clean.

Pandan Coconut Cheesecake , Ube Cheese Tart, Chocolate Cheese Tart, Matcha Cheese Tart

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!

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.

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!

Over rated and over priced. You could buy the cheese tarts at most places for less then half the price.

The cheesecake is so moist and fluffy. Everyone in the family loves Uncle Tetsu, and love the stamp card to get 1 free.

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 in the Eastvale area for dinner and decided to look for somewhere nearby to grab ice cream…read morefor dessert. My daughter-in-law found Nobibi, and we're so glad we stopped in! She ordered the coffee ice cream, which had a fun little surprise at the bottom--cereal! At first she wasn't quite sure what it was, but she ended up really enjoying it. Oddly enough, the cereal balanced out the sweetness of the coffee ice cream perfectly and added a really nice texture. It was such an unexpected but tasty touch. I was helped by Jeannie and Michelle, and both were incredibly friendly, professional, helpful, and efficient from taking our order to getting everything out to us. The shop itself was clean, tidy, and had a cute, minimal feel with plenty of seating to enjoy your dessert inside, as well as outdoor seating. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back if we're ever in the area again. If you're in Eastvale and looking for a fun dessert spot, Nobibi is definitely worth a try!

Back in the day we use to have what were called Ice Cream Parlors. Big restaurant size places where…read moreyou could go and get your fill of all kinds of ice cream concoctions. 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

Brought my friend here for our joint birthday dessert, everything was rlly good!…read more My friend and I rlly liked the texture of the mochi donuts! There was so much variety of available flavors! My Vietnamese coffee was very strong (that's a good thing), and my friend said his strawberry matcha was sweet (he said he likes sweet) The employee (or owner?) was so nice to bring us our drinks and straws to our table :) They played PEAK k-pop, so 2nd gen and 3rd gen throwbacks! Such a vibe^^ Though I will say we were a little jump-scared by the prices. It isn't unreasonable or anything, but each donut is roughly $3.50 - $3.75

The guy at the register is friendly, attentive and helped make good suggestions of what my grandma and I should try. Their mochi donuts have the perfect chewy texture with delicious flavors, and they also offer a great selection of boba drinks to pair with your treat. I love that they have more than just sweets... you can also grab fresh beignets, crispy fries, and flavorful popcorn chicken, making it an easy spot for both snacks and dessert. Everything I've tried has been tasty, and the variety means there's something for everyone. They are Filipino owned, and a cool thing that they offer is San's Rival that can be ordered for parties (orders must be made days in advance). I'll definitely be coming back to try even more of the menu!

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.

You could really taste the authenticity of the green tea, and everything was very well balanced. It wasn't too sweet, and there was just the right amount of lemon and honey. Very refreshing, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. The shop was clean and tidy. I did have to wait a little while before my order was taken because no one was really up front initially, but eventually someone did come over to help me. They also have a contactless kiosk where you can place your order yourself and then simply wait for it to be prepared, which is a convenient option. Overall, the taste was great and the honey lemon green tea was definitely the highlight for me. I would absolutely order it again if I'm in the area!
