Feedback centers on Uncle Tetsu's signature cheesecake being light, fluffy and almost sponge like, described as fresh and yummy and a must try. Service experiences vary, with some noting fast service and neat packaging, while others say the downtown location offers a fluffier, lighter and tastier cheesecake and this location is not as great by comparison. Opening times and wait times are a concern for some, with reports of waiting about an hour for the cakes to be finished and ready. Despite these differences, the cake remains the highlight and is loved by fans, though reviews note inconsistency across locations.View restaurant profile
