The limited edition cake is so good with cherry blossom flower decoration. Cherry blossom smell is so good, it's light but special.

Located in Hillsdale Shopping Center, parking is plentiful and easy to find. The shopping center is quite sizeable as it has both an indoor mall and outdoor plaza area. Uncle Tetsu is located in the food court. Original (5/5): really fluffy and so soft. The flavor was perfect as it wasn't overly heavy. The light cream used really brought the fluffy texture together. Overall, Uncle Tetsu continues to be a great place for a delicious dessert. Their Japanese cheesecakes are fluffy and soft without being overwhelmingly heavy.

Great place to grab some Japanese cheesecake! I've always wanted to try this place out, and since I was in the area, I decided it was time to grab some cheesecake! I got the Set B, which includes one cheesecake, one cheese tart, and a bag of biscotti. I chose the seasonal cheesecake, which was cherry blossom and it tasted delicious! The floral flavor was prominent and the cheesecake was nice and fluffy. I also chose the seasonal cheese tart, which was strawberry. The cheese tart was a little too sweet (compared to the cheesecake) but the flavor was delicious! The biscotti were ok, I think they are hardened pieces of the usual flavored cheesecake. The staff were all friendly and helpful! It's also nice that this place is in a food court as there's plenty of seating and mall parking! Overall, great place to grab some Japanese cheesecake at the Hillsdale mall!

My niece and I were waiting for our Boba tea from Sher tea around the corner and I wanted to show her this particular shop since she loves Matcha! Turns out they had a deal with a mini cheesecake and a tart for $10!! Sold!! We got two different daily specials so we could try different flavors and she actually liked my pandan cheesecake and Ube tart better than her Matcha cheesecake and Matcha tart! Lol I will definitely be back here again!! I also liked how the lady physically showed me each pastry as she box them to double check and make sure the order was correct. I knotted my head and said yes, and she smiled and knotted her head as well! I love the overcommunicate!!
