Uncle Tetsu

Uncle Tetsu - Review - Parkmerced - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"The Japanese-style cheesecakes from Uncle Tetsu should be studied for their physics-defying wobble. Each cake has the airiness and jiggle of a soufflé, but is somehow sturdy and thick enough to taste almost like a custard. The handful of flavors are fun to explore, like the pandan or ube, but we suggest sticking to the original that’s tangy with just a touch of sweetness. If you’re going solo or splitting with someone else, a mini-cake is perfect, but if you want to turn some heads at your next gathering, get a full-sized version. The glossy cheese tarts with tender shortbread crusts are solid, but should always come second to the cheesecake. Just note that availability at this Stonestown food court stall can vary throughout the day, so order ahead online." - Patrick Wong
