I never tried Japanese cheesecake before, but it was really good. Chiffon style cake, mild sweetness. Feels fluffy and cloud like? I don't feel like eating a ton of sugar, let's just say that. Only 4 stars because I came into the place not knowing what to order, and didn't feel like anyone really wanted to help. Like I should know what I'm supposed to order. But I didn't... the cake saved it all though! read more

I recently heard of an item called Japanese Cheesecake, which I didn't know was a thing. So for all of you that are like me and dont know about Janapese Cheesecake it is a very light and airy cake, Its signature fluffy texture comes from folding whipped egg whites into the batter and baking it in a water bath. The result is a soft, chiffon-like consistency that wobbles. So I heard of a place called @uncletetsu_katy and decided to give it a try. I ordered the coffee flavored cheesecake and it was amazing. very light and flavorful. Definitely will be back to try the other flavors. #foodphotography #foodstagram #foodblogger #foodblog #foodlovers #foodpic #foodpics #foodie #foodies read more

Limited Asian dessert options here so I was excited to see this place pop up! Burnt chocolate cheesecake - melted googey in the middle, taste like chocolate mouse Ube cheesecake - cold Chinese sponge cake with a hint of ube? Love how they are not super sweet. read more

It's about $15 per cake. I got the coconut pandan which was pretty good. I also sampled the coffee cheesecake they had which I didn't really like. They have a lot of flavor options you can choose from aside from the original. Generally these cakes are too soft for me, not in a fluffy way but in a mushy one so I would keep that in mind. Kind and quick service. read more

While visiting the Katy area, we happened upon Uncle Tetsu! The nearby shops support one another by offering a 10% off discount with a receipt from the neighboring shop (we went to Wushiland for boba next door). When we walked in, we were offered a sample of their limited seasonal flavor, cherry blossom. The cake itself was yummy and spongey, but we ultimately decided to get the coconut pandan flavor of their classic Japanese cheesecake to-go. The cheesecake was soo delicious and a huge hit when we brought it back to share with our friends after dinner. The coconut and pandan flavors complement one another really well and the texture was so light and creamy. Highly recommend and would go back to this or other locations to try their other offerings. read more

Had a real treat today! Saw they were advertising a free mini-cheesecake with purchase for national cheesecake day. So of course I signed up for the email list and we got our cheesecake today. We purchased the cookies and cream cheese cake and got the strawberry mini. It also came with cookies as well. So good, and definitely will be back. We love cheesecake but a giggle cheesecake was a fun and great treat. Getting one for next family get together read more

Favorite place to get Japanese cheesecake. Been coming here since their grand opening. Strawberry, black sesame, and pandan coconut are my go-to. For birthday stamps, you have to call the day prior. Semi-sweet Japanese fluffy, soft cheesecakes is what you should expect. Cherry Blossom is good but my mother said it tastes like soap (if you like floral sweets then I recommend it or just for parties). Their basque cheesecakes are the less sweet version of an American cheesecake, which I also enjoy. Recently, they introduced a smaller versions of their cheesecakes, I believe 4 for $20 whereas their normal size is $16. Random specials so check out the prices in the store such as 2 for $20. Friendly servers and it's just a simple small place where you get what you need and leave. No sit in but they do offer samples throughout the day for you to try. There's some parking in this plaza but many just park in one spot and walk around to the different plaza in this nook of Katy Asian Town. read more

Easy 5 stars from me! When I was visiting my girlfriend in CA, she took me to uncle Tetsu and I loved it very much and when I came back to TX I was hoping that uncle Tetsu is near my area! Surprisingly, it's located only 10 mins away from where I live and I finally got to go get an original cheese cake from there yesterday! It was so good and delicious in my mouth I hate the American sweetness as they excessively use sugar but these cakes are very Japanese taste (subtle/gentle and acceptable sweetness) which I love! I'll definitely come back and get other flavors! Very welcoming environment with a good service as they were giving away ube samples! Yum yum :) Keep up the good work! Cheers read more

Amazing cheesecakes and cookies! They're always a hit with the family and perfect for any occasion.

Love all the cheesecakes and the staff is so nice every time! My family and I come every time we are in town.

Trying Japanese cheesecake for the first time and let's just say it's definitely different! Uncle Tetsu was pretty busy on a Saturday morning which made us even more curious on what we've been missing out on. We opted for something simple with it being our first time. The consistency of the cheesecake was very fluffy and the taste of strawberry was very faint. We found that the cheesecake tasted more like strawberry after being refrigerated overnight. We would come again to try another flavor but won't be running here for dessert. read more

Great customer service! Walked in and it smells so wonderful. I love the flavors! This is not my first time here, nor will it be my last!

I finally made the trip out to Uncle Tetsu in Katy (it's in the Katy Asian Town plaza, super cute area with lots of cool shops and eateries nearby), and I'm glad I got to try the famous Japanese cheesecake everyone raves about. The shop itself is spotless, bright, and really welcoming. Staff was friendly and efficient even though there was a decent line. I grabbed the original cheesecake and a couple of the cheese tarts to go. Everything looked fresh and smelled amazing coming out of the oven. Now, full disclosure--this is probably a "me" problem, not a Uncle Tetsu problem. I just don't think Japanese-style cheesecake is my thing. To me it felt way more like a lightly sweetened, super-fluffy bread/sponge cake than what I think of as cheesecake. It was definitely jiggly and airy, but it was surprisingly bready in texture and pretty mild on the actual cream cheese flavor I was expecting. I wanted that rich, dense, tangy New York-style bite and this was... almost the opposite. Again, I know a lot of people love exactly that lightness, so take my taste buds with a grain of salt. The cheese tarts were better for me--more of that classic cheesecake vibe in a cute little package--but the big cheesecake just didn't hit the spot personally. If you already know you love soufflé/Japanese cheesecakes, you'll probably be in heaven. For me it was a solid 3 stars: great shop, cool location, perfectly executed product... just not the flavor or texture I personally crave in a cheesecake. Glad I tried it, but I probably won't be back for the signature cake. Might swing by again for the tarts though! read more

Great service with a smile! Love the soft texture of their cheesecake that is made so well. Will be back! :)

I love Japanese cheesecakes. They are airy, light, and not too sweet. I never feel the guilt of eating one alone at one go. I did just that after buying the black sesame cheesecake from Uncle Tetsu. The black sesame flavor wasn't overpowering, and I can still taste slight bitterness in the cheesecake. The cheesecake is about 6inches, single layer, which to me, is a perfect size for one person. I couldn't resist the pretty cheese tarts on display. I got one of each flavor. The richness of the cheese tarts was perfect. The cheese tarts were of the right sweetness too. The tart shell was thin and the filling was of the right amount. My favorite was the original. I highly recommend everyone to try the original cheese tart. I was given a sample of their biscotti. They were very thin and coated with sugar. They were perfect to munch on as a snack. The staff was very friendly and was patient with my questions. There is no table nor chair for customers to sit down and enjoy the goodies. FYI. read more

Love the cheese cakes. The shop is clean and smells amazing. There are so many good flavors to choose from.

Love the cakes. Glad they are in Houston. The fist time I tasted uncle tetsu was in la, and had to carry it through the airport

Tried the original and ube cheesecakes -- both were super moist and fluffy. The flavor isn't super bold like a typical American cheesecake, but the texture is great and it wasn't overly sweet. Worth trying if you like something different read more

Great customer service, cheesecakes are always good! We were greeted with warm welcomes and any of our questions were answered quickly.

Tried Uncle Tetsu for the first time and loved it. The Japanese cheesecake is light, fluffy, and not too sweet. Super fresh and soft with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. The shop is clean, staff is friendly, and the cakes look amazing. A bit pricey, but worth it for the quality. Would definitely come back! read more
