| - I think Uncle Tetsu is the one and only place in Toronto that really pulls strings in different directions. Some people love it, some people hate it, there isn't really a happy medium.
For me, I love this place.
Here's a pro tip, if you've never had Japanese cheesecake, I might suggest getting the one at T&T so you aren't waiting in line for a hour+ just to be disappointed. Japanese cheesecake is very different than what we're used to. I'm not saying to put T&T's Japanese cheesecake on a great big pedestal, because it's only so-so. What I'm saying is to get a rough idea of how different Japanese cheesecake is.
For me, I personally love Uncle Tetsu, and it was worth the wait the 3 times I've been here. I firmly believe in this place, and I believe they also opened a dessert shop not too far, but unfortunately for me, it's all matcha. I don't like matcha.
I believe this place can soar and soar more than it already has, for me it was worth the hype and it'll always be worth it. The 3rd time I had waited in line, it was pouring down rain and I didn't have an umbrella. But it was so worth it.
The best way to describe Japanese Cheesecake, is that it's half pound cake, half cheesecake. It's like ... Extremely fluffy bread, with cheesecake. I can't really pin point it.
I've had a lot of Japanese cheesecake in my day, and Uncle Tetsu has set the bar. It's untouchable. It's super fresh when you purchase it, just steaming in the box right off the bat.
Here's my issue with some of the reviews on here about Uncle Tetsu. They don't know what to expect from a Jap chessecake, and immediately rate it down low because it's not as rich and SWEET as we're used to. And it's a damn shame, because of the sheer art and care that is put into these cheesecakes break my heart.
No, Japanese cheesecake is NOT meant to be super sweet, and it's NOT meant to be rich.
Uncle Tetsu would be a perfect place to start if you've never had Japanese cheeecake, but the line would say other wise.
I feel I would be directing my review more to those who have had Jap cheesecake. Otherwise ... You might be disappointed, or maybe not?
TIP: Ignore the rude people who walk by and make comments like, "Wow ... Waiting in line JUST for cheesecake?" or "It's not even that good! Save your money!" Angers me to no end.
Uncle Tetsu will always be that one place I will repeatedly speak very highly about. Because they deserve every single inch of success they are recieving.
