After all the positive reviews I decided to give this bakery a try.
Despite what I've read there was no lineup at this location. Along with the original cheesecake I also bought an assortment of madeleines - honey, matcha, black sesame, and blueberry.
This is definitely not the 'in your face wow' dessert. Absent is the lard laden heaviness often associated with Chinese pastries or the sugar sweetness of French patisseries. The overall palette is pure 'japanese' with light textures and subtle flavours.
Is it to-die-for? I don't think so but if you've not had Japanese cotton cake before then it's certainly worth a once over.
Establishment clean, service friendly.
