    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

    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.

    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.

    Great service and delicious cakes. I truly appreciated the warm, loving experience. I love the matcha the most!

    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.

    Cookies and cream cheese cake

    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

    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.

    Great place to get Japanese cheesecake in the Katy area. I was surprised on how delicious the cake tasted. It's like a sponge that melts in your mouth, very creamy, not too cheesy, perfect sweetness. The texture is amazing and is very easy to eat. I would come back.

    Ube sample! Twas so good

    Half Baked Goodness is a gooey cookie lovers heaven. The second you walk in, you're hit with that…read morefreshly baked cookie aroma. The smell alone would make anyone salivate, but they're even better when you see how big their cookies are. We don't come to this part of Katy that often, but we were in the area for another event. We showed up a little too early so we ended up stopping here out of curiosity and to kill a little time. This was seriously the best place we could have stumbled upon. We ordered their box of 6 cookies. I'll rank them #1 - 6 in order from best to "worst." There really is no "worst" cookie because they're all amazing, but if I HAD to choose this would be the order. #1 Creme brulee. #2 Peanut butter supreme. #3 Cookie butter. #4 Pumpkin chocolate chip. #5 Double chocolate. #6 Chocolate chip. No matter what you order here though, you're guaranteed to like their cookies. They even have Keto/Gluten Free cookies for those who can't have the regular versions. We'll for sure be back again soon, especially to try more of their rotating cookies of the week flavors. Enjoy!

    Hi cannot wait to try this new dessert shop. You walk in and you were greeted with the nicest…read moresmiles and the nicest people. They had about 8 to 10 different types of cookies available to purchase. I purchased four cookies and I must say one is better than the other. I got the celebration, which is chips inside and sprinkles all over the top and other stuff inside of it. I also got a chocolate chip cookie and oatmeal raisin and a s'mores. You can smell the cookies in the box while you're driving home trying not to open it. So I got home and I tried the cookies and they are beyond amazing. Each cookie is huge and filled with goodness from start to finish. They are warm and fresh and extremely tasty. Their prices are very good for what you get. I absolutely love their cookies and I wish them lots of success in their adventure. So I will tell you, run don't walk to taste some of the best cookies you have ever had in your life. You will not be disappointed in the ingredients inside and you will not be disappointed how big they are and how yummy they are. I give this place 100% thumbs up .
