Sanny C.

The night staff was great! Not exactly sure what time this location closes. I believe on Yelp at that time showed 10pm. We came like 15 minutes before closing. I usually don't like to visit a business when it's near the closing hour. However, we needed to get one for the family. The male staff was so kind. He was offering us samples. Didn't rush us or anyone else who came in after. We ordered the Pandan cheesecake and Ube matcha. I remembered when Uncle Tetsu first arrived in 2015 or 2016, it was only $8.99. We got it for $14. The price went up, but still a decent price. I m not sure why, but this location did a great job with the Pandan cheesecake. I remembered a while back, I got the Pandan at another location and thought it was somewhat gross. It was bitter so I never went back. Ever since, we only get the original. The Ube matcha wasn't the greatest. It was a bit bland. I will go back for the cheesecake =]

I have been eyeing this Uncle Tetsu in Rosemead for a while now. Just haven't had the chance to check it out until yesterday. It was the perfect time to visit. I wanted to buy some cheese tarts to give to my Mom and brothers & their families. Shop was clean and comfortable. No inside seating. No restrooms. They offer pretty much the same flavors as other Uncle Tetsu as shown below. * Seasonal Flavors (Coffee Cheesecake, Chocolate Cookies n' Creme Basque, Chocolate Cheese Tart) * Japanese Cheesecakes (Original, Cookies and Cream, Pandan Coconut, Strawberry, Ube) * Basque Cheesecakes (Burnt Basque) * Cheese Tarts (Original, Chocolate, Matcha, Ube) * Cookies (Biscotti, Ube Cookie, Matcha Cookie) Surprise, surprise... besides the light and fluffy cheesecakes, they also have a beverage station. You read right... they also sell expressos, cold brews, teas, and additions/substitutes. Cool! I'll have to try their drinks next time. Staff was super nice and friendly. They currently have a holiday special... buy 5 cheese tarts of any flavor, get 1 cheese tart for free. I bought 15 cheese tarts and got 3 free. I got a mix of all 4 flavors. It worked out perfectly! Each cheese tart costs $4.50. I spent $67.50 and saved $13.50. Cool beans! I tried 3 out of the 4 cheese tart flavors. I didn't get a chance to try the ube flavor. I'll buy it again next time. So far I like the original flavor the best! A buttery crust filled with rich and tangy cheese mousse that melts like magic just as advertised. Yum! Remember to get their stamp card. Buy 9 cakes, get 10th cake for free. Btw, for every 4 cheese tarts, it equals to one stamp as if you bought 1 cake. I got 3 stamps for my above purchase. I'm on my way to 1 free cake. Yay! I'll be back!

Disclaimer: A friend of ours got us a pandan cake to try! This review is for togo. Pandan Cake: 4.5/5. Really good! It was soft snd fluffy and had a good pandan taste that wasn't overwhelming. I would order this cake again!

I live down the street from this place. Its right next to the Panda Corporate office, which also owns Uncle Tetsu. Husband wanted something sweet so I was passing by and decided to stop. Never had Japanese cheesecake before so I had no idea what to expect. It was kinda late so I figured there would only be a few to choose from. When I walked in, it was bright and inviting. I saw small cakes in the display that could literally fit in your palm, and figured that was them. I asked for a plain and a pandan one. I was a little shocked something so small was 28.00 but when I was handed my cakes, they were full sized! Didn't expect that. But now I know! Very interesting texture. It was hard to stop once I took a slice! Was hoping this location sold Iced teas like its counterpart at the Arcadia mall. I would love if they sold boba so close to home. I'd be here literally everyday!

I visited this location for the first time on Saturday, 9/27. I'm so glad that they opened one in Rosemead since the other closest location was all the way in The Shops at Santa Anita, Arcadia. I ended up ordering the following to pick up for my mom's birthday: 1 Original Cheesecake - $13 "Signature cheesecake that made us famous. A melt-in-your-mouth combination of light sweetness, along with a fluffy and bouncy consistency, is a match made in heaven!" -- Yummy classic, Japanese-style cheesecake. I bought this because it isn't too sweet, and is Asian mom-approved! 1 Pandan Cheesecake - $13 "Subtly sweet and coconut-y. Inspired by the flavors of Southeast Asia." -- You can definitely taste the coconut flavor. It is colored a slightly fluorescent green, reminiscent of the pandan color. This cheesecake is slightly sweeter than the original, but I enjoyed it since I enjoy pandan/coconut flavors. They have some toasted coconut sprinkled on top. Customer Service: I placed an online order 10-15 minutes before I went so that the pickup could be seamless. I walked in and was quickly helped since there was no one else in the store. The girl who helped me was friendly, and the overall interaction was short but sweet. Tip: They had samples placed on the side, so I was able to try out their seasonal mango flavor, which was tasty! They also offer a stamp card, so be sure to get your stamps! Lastly, you can use the following link to place your order directly with Uncle Tetsu. I would refrain from ordering from DoorDash since the prices are higher there. https://order.uncletetsu-us.com/menu/walnut-grove-ave-rush-st-uncle-tetsu All in all, I'll be back! Enjoyed the cheesecake and visit!

We love Uncle Tetsu. They have the best most unique dessert cakes, tarts and cookies. They also serve delicious espresso drinks. The service is always friendly - thanks Bobbie! The parking lot is quite ample - never a problem. The place is always impecable and the temperature confortable. To-go only - no seating available.

I had always love Uncle Tetsu cheesecake, but always too lazy to go to the locations in Arcadia Mall or Del Amo Mall. So, I was really excited to discover a new location that isn't inside a mall--it's in the same plaza as Walmart. As usual, the service was very friendly. I tried a sample of their strawberry- cflavored cheesecake, but I didn't like it. I noticed an apple pie in the display case that looked amazing, but the staff mentioned it's more like an American-style cheesecake, which I thought might be too heavy. So, I stuck with my usual: the original Japanese cheesecake. The whole process was super quick--I was in and out in five minutes. Plus, they didn't ask for a tip when I paid!

Katie C.

Wow, this location is clean and spacious. They also serve coffee and teas. I hope this location stays for a while, no need to go all the way to Arcadia anymore. Staff is extremely friendly. Felicity was so helpful, patient and sweet! She offered us samples as we were indecisive, she also knew how to describe each item well. This location doesn't carry Matcha flavor of their Japanese Cheesecake. Free Biscotti when you spend $20 or more. They're pretty airy and light, not too sweet. Burnt Basque (Chocolate)- wasn't too sweet or too chocolatey. Texture is much different than the Japanese Cheesecake, it's almost like a creamy version of their Japanese Cheesecake. Definitely give it a try if you haven't. Cheese Tart (Original)- so good! Rich, creamy and lightly sweet. Crust isn't too hard but wished it was a little less dense. Japanese Cheesecake (Ube)- always great, fluffy and spongey. Ube flavor really shines through. Japanese Cheesecake (Cherry Blossom, seasonal)- floral but not too strong. They'll only have this flavor until the end of October.

Sasa F.

The last two times I've been there, service has been really good. This young girl (cashier & barista) is very nice and friendly! DESSERT: Burnt Basque Cheesecake 5/5 (Remains my favorite. The apple flavor one is mediocre to me) Cherry Blossom Japanese Cheesecake 4.5/5 (Love the sm/personal size. Perfect for one person) Original Japanese Cheesecake 4.5/5 Coffee Japanese Cheesecake 4.5/5 Strawberry Japanese Cheesecake 4.5/5 Matcha Japanese Cheesecake 4.5/5 Small Cheese Tart 4.5/5 (I haven't tried it, but bf said is was good) DRINKS: Iced Matcha Latte w/ Strawberry Foam 4.5/5 Thought the Ice Matcha Latte is fine (good enough for a quick fix). Like it with the strawberry foam. Salted Cheese Cold Brew 4.5/5 Good to know: take out only. No seating. Located next to Panda Express.

Rose M.

Greeted with a smile from the associate on duty who was cleaning the glass doors as I was about to enter. She kindly opened the door for me and helped me right away. Ambiance was nice. Store was clean. Ordered the seasonal special, Cherry Blossom. It was delicious!

Albert C.

TASTED HEAVENLY. Stopped by because my sister sent me on a little mission to buy Japanese Cheesecake and let me tell y'all... it DID NOT disappoint. Let me also say that it is totally different from America Cheesecakes, these tasted more fluffy and bready. Furthermore, the employee working, treated me so well and even offered samples to try! In the end, I ordered the Pandan Coconut and Cherry Blossom cheesecakes. Both were incredible! Moreover, I love how the cherry blossom flavor captured such a unique flavor. And the Pandan Coconut absolutely blew my mind, it tasted too good to be true. SERVICE: 10'S ACROSS THE BOARD AMBIANCE: WELCOMING, CUTE DECORATIONS, HAD A SEASONAL FLAVOR: CHERRY BLOSSOM

Lusine V.

The service was wonderful because the woman that was helping us explained everything and even gave us a small cake for free because we couldn't decide what we wanted. We got maybe 4 different cakes and all were great. The ube cheesecake was my favorite! The coffees and lattes were not good but then again that's not what they're know for.

We love how light and fluffy the cheesecakes are at Uncle Tetsu! The staff was super friendly and generous with samples. The original flavor is still our favorite--classic and delicious. The pandan coconut was also a standout, with a stronger coconut flavor that really came through. We're not fans of the burnt basque, but that might just be personal preference since we don't enjoy bitter notes in our desserts. Their current seasonal flavor is cherry blossom, which had a delicate floral taste--almost like rose. Also, the cherry blossom-themed bag they're using right now is really cute! read more

So great to have Uncle Tetsu so near by the area! It is located in the Walmart SuperCenter plaza next to Subway. Very great service and workers are super welcoming as you come in. Up in the front you can try different cheesecakes and workers are super helpful when wanting to try new flavors. The ice matcha is very refreshing and authentic. I just hoped it would be sweeter. (my preference) Attached to the cup is this super cute Uncle Tetsu sticker! The japanese cheesecake, the star of the show was super good as well. Presentation was 10/10! Had it before and will always hit the spot. Super fluffy, fresh, and melts once it hits your mouth, you need to try! I will definitely come back to try other flavors! They also give stamp cards that if you buy 9 cakes/drinks you get the 10th one free! read more

I came here for the grand opening because there was such a buzz. They are known for having Japanese cheesecakes which are fluffier and airier than American cheesecake. They have seasonal flavors. This location is different from the rest in which it has coffee. I had the brown sugar latte which tasted like brown sugar. I'm not a huge fan of brown sugar which might be why I didn't love the coffee. I definitely do want to try the caramel coffee. I loved how they had the latte art. This location also has cold brews and cute little cupcakes that are a great addition. I love the cheese tarts! read more

Not sure if they are still having this promotion but if you purchase a $50 giftcard, you can get a free original cheesecake (perfect if you were already getting a bigger order bc you can apply the giftcard to your current order!!) Original cheesecake- light and fluffy, reminds me of the sweet chinese sponge cakes and my childhood Burnt basque cheesecake - my friends and I tried to make this once during the beginning of the covid lockdown and peak tik tok trend and it was okay, not the best but not the worst. Now that I have finally tried the real deal, i can honestly say ... i dont really get the hype behind this haha. Lighter in cheese flavor than a regular new york cheescake, more bready in texture, less creamy, and i missed the graham cracker crust (the best part of a reg cheesecake) Matcha cheese tart - best item out of the order, perfect size, strong matcha flavor Ube cheese tart - this was okay read more

I don't really write negative reviews, but the type of service and communication from this business is a dam joke! Today, we are celebrating my son's 7th birthday and he requested for a strawberry cake from Uncle Tetsu. The posted hours online is 9am, so we called earlier in the week to confirm the opening time. And yes whoever picked up the dam phone confirmed 9am. We had this whole day planned out based on the opening time given to us by this location. So my wife shows up at 9am to find out they are close and don't open until 10am! Alright...a bit upset, but it's for our son's birthday. We come back at 10am and are told the cakes will not be ready for another 25 mins! WTF! What's the point of opening at 10am if you got nothing to sell?!?! So we come back at 10:30am, the strawberry cake isn't available! We settled for the original and were just fed up dealing with this place. This place is lucky it's our son's birthday. Took us 3 trips to finally get a dam cake that wasn't even the flavor of our choice. read more

I've been to the one at the Santa Anita Mall a few times to pick up these cheesecakes, but this new location is literally 5 minutes from my house. Easy location as it's in the same plaza as Wells Fargo, Panda Express, Subway and Walmart. I was greeted with friendly service like always and they also helped me choose a "new to me" flavor. I ended up going with the original and strawberry. The strawberry actually tasted like real strawberries and not the artificial kind. Both were yummy as expected. read more

This location is fairly new, yet I've already been here 3 times I'm glad they have a location so close to home. Japanese cheesecakes are so good, and I just couldn't stay away when they had their opening week. All of the staff are very nice and professional with the customers. They even have samples at the front for people to try different flavors. Besides the items on the regular menu, they also have mini cheesecakes! Their cheesecakes are so soft and definitely not as sweet as western cheesecakes, but I like that they aren't super sweet. They have just the right amount of sugar. I bought an oreo and original cheesecake to share with my coworkers, and they all really liked it! I bought an ube one for my family, and that was really good as well.

I loved the coconut tart the most. Every single tart here is very affordable here, ranging from…read more$0.95 to $2. The cheapest and simplest one is the Portuguese egg tart and the more fancy ones are either $1.75 or $2. I tried all of them: Portuguese egg tart, cheese tart, caramel croissant tart, tiramisu tart, berry tart, and coconut tart (my favorite). We also got the salted egg yolk croissant for only $1 which is a steal although I wish it was a tad bit sweeter to balance out the salt. It was a smooth process to go in and buy. They also have a variety of specialty desserts that are in the $8 price range if you want something more extravagant. I tried the King Panda which was filled with cream cheese mousse. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, but more of the latter. We went on a Saturday and it was pretty packed but we managed to snag a seat.

Turns out all their baked goods are delicious, probably glad I don't live walking distance or else I might develop diabetes. They are known for their tarts, but their cakes are also delicious! Their favored tea are more towards the Japanese candy taste. Def would recommend checking this place out. Will need to park at street or local parking garages though. There is also seating areas inside and outside but very very limited. Mostly to go. Although I got to say their quality have gone down since they been more popular which is the biggest disappointment part. Hoping they can improve so leaving one star off for that.

They're really generous with the filling and don't skimp, which is what keeps me coming back :D My husband enjoys their cha siu bao, and they always seem to have it fresh out of the oven whenever we stop by. The cashiers here are also super sweet - the black sesame bread sells out fast, so I usually call in ahead of time to ask if they have any and they'll set aside a few for me until I arrive, which I really appreciate :) Little things like that go a long way. Highly recommend this spot for your Asian bakery goods!

They have a decent amount of savory buns here too, which I feel is lacking at other bakeries. Tried the crab and corn bun, and it was tasty. Lots of ingredients put into the bun. I also got a tiger roll in the refrigerated section but it was really oddly tasting. I got the green tea and it tasted very artificial- almost soap-like. Service is standard of what you'll expect in the area. It's not great or bad , just ok.

As the name of the bakery implies, it's "Perfectly Sweet"…read more I'm generally a bit more wary of purchasing baked goods from non-Asian bakeries since they tend to be sweeter than what my palate likes, but not here! The hours are a bit limited, but I managed to make it in time to grab some pre-made baked goods to go. I got a bag of coconut macaroons, bag of several chocolate chip cookies, 2 red velvet cookies, a baked dog cookie biscuit, and a cute Keroppi sugar cookie. Most of these ended up being gifts, but I did enjoy one of the red velvet cookies and for an already sweet flavor profile with white chocolate chips in it, I was already fearing the worse, but went perfect with a glass of milk. The edges were nicely crisped by the baking too. Delicious. Love that they had a stock of cute, pre-decorated cookies available as well (some Sanrio characters, animals, etc.) They also list all the ingredients used in each of the baked goods that they have prepackaged, which is nice. It's also a cafe where you can order drinks, as well as a place you can order cakes custom order or what they have behind the glass already. There's both seating inside and outside.

Of the donuts I ordered the stand outs for me were the Butter Pistachio and the Dubai Matcha Donut. The Butter Pistachio is a staple, offering a nutty exterior with a sweet creme filling inside. The donuts are light so you can eat a lot!! I also enjoyed the Dubai Matcha, it wasn't too sweet and had a subtle matcha flavor with a flakey interior to add to the texture. So yummy!!

TGTG is an app that allows businesses to sell their leftover or flawed goods for a discounted price in a bundle of their choice. So you don't know what you get, BUT it reduces food waste (#sustainability) while being easier on your wallet. You pay a price they name and they give you the value they listed. The owner (I presume) handed us a prepackaged brown bag the moment we got there. It wasn't busy at all so the whole transaction was under 5 minutes. It's a mom & pop Asian bakery that's spacious and warm. Our surprise bag contained 7 mini breads: black sesame mochi, red sesame mochi, taro bun with filling, hot dog cheese bread, buo luo bao, ham + cheese bun, and another bread I couldn't quite identify. This is $21 value for $6.99 is what we paid. After heating them up, they tasted almost like fresh so we can't complain. However, I would say these days $3 would get you bigger buns at other similar bakeries, but their fillings were very generous, so it's hard to say. Parking has spots designated to the bakery so look out for the signs.

Price ranged from $2.75-$3.75 per bread. Small and cozy interior. Very warm for some reason but we didn't mind since it's winter. It was pretty quiet. I think folks tend to go to bakeries earlier in the day for more selection and fresher bread. They have a good mix of classic and interesting new breads like rose bread (not depicted), but a lot of them were sold out. We ate the bread the next day and it still tasted very fresh. My favorite was the matcha bread with yogurt filling. The taro bun had real bits of taro in the center. Wish there was a little more though. All the breads were good in flavor, not too salty and or sweet. They also have some deals when you buy a certain amount of certain items. Shared parking lot since it's situated in a plaza.

Ordered two cakes for 30 people which turned out to be more than enough. The crispy cake used to be packaged in a pink box (like the donut shoes) but now comes in a fancier white box with gold labeling of the store name. Stamp card available! 1 stamp for every $15 spent. Collecting 10 stamps earns $15 off next visit. FYI - We were asked to pay via phone for the cakes. Parking situation in this plaza is awful during peak times on the weekends. Not only are the spots a little compact, there are also just a constant flow of cars with the market and other eateries.
