The colorful mini tarts on display were cute and eye-catching. I just wish that playful energy carried into the overall atmosphere and presentation, which felt like very little effort had been put into creating an inviting space.
The cheesecake itself was surprisingly not sweet. It was light and fluffy, almost like a sponge cake, and honestly didn’t have much of a noticeable cheese flavor. Not disappointing, just different from what I expected. One of my guests really enjoyed it.
That said, I’m not sure I’d spend $15 again for a 6–8 inch sponge-style cake. I do prefer the traditional mom-and-pop Chinese bakeries where you can still walk out with a whole box of assorted treats for about the same price.
First fell in love with Japanese cheesecakes years ago in Osaka. The jiggly ones that went viral everywhere. Uncle Tetsu is from Japan, but like a lot of international brands that end up in the U.S., they’re not mainstream back home. Still, Boston doesn’t get many international dessert chains, so when they opened in Chinatown last year, I was pretty excited. It was packed for months. Back then they only had the OG cheesecake and honey madeleines, but now they’ve added flavored cheese tarts, so I stopped by again to try those.
Their OG cheesecake isn’t really my thing. I appreciate that it’s not too sweet, but the texture wasn’t as soft or airy as the ones I’ve had in Japan. Definitely better than a typical American cheesecake, just not something I’d crave on its own.
The cheese tarts, though, were fantastic. I tried all the flavors (classic, matcha, and chocolate) and they were all great. The filling basically oozes out the moment you take a bite, which gets messy fast, but the thick, warm, custardy texture was ridiculously satisfying. These I’d come back for.
My personal favorite is the Chocolate Cheesecake, though the Original one is really good too. I haven’t tried anything else from the menu yet, but they do have plenty of dessert options, and given the quality so far, it’s probably worth exploring more.
Dont expect your heavy and dense cheese tasting cake from cheesecake factory. This is light and airy and ESPECIALLY NOT diabetes sweet. Perfect sweetness. Absolutely love!
Service was quick and easy.
Place is very well kept clean small and a lot going on but it’s authentic authentic.
HIDDEN GEM!!!
Didn’t want cheesecake but wanted to check them out. Got the tart, and the cold tofu that they topped off with some sort brown sugar. The tart’s filling was oozy, and the tofu made me think of a very light creme brulee.
