"The Japan-born chain specializes in exceedingly light, fluffy Japanese cheesecakes with a delicate cheese flavor and a soft, souffle-like texture. The San Mateo branch also serves matcha tea with cheese foam, salty green tea, and green milk tea." - Janelle Bitker

Very nice cheesecake store. We had 2 cheese tarts, and two cheesecakes, and I found the tarts to be particularly amazing! I think they were short staffed when we visited, as one of the employees was making teas, and working the register at the same time, which meant we were waiting in line for a while. Would recommend, as it is a delicious treat in the mall! THEY DO NOT ACCEPT CASH!!

Always wanted to try these cheesecakes and finally got a chance to during a trip to the mall! So soft and fluffy, it’s actually very filling! Would try their other flavours next time.

I bought the original cheesecake, and it is a fresh and delicious product. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that they don't accept cash.

I’ve eaten everything at this place, but the best is definitely the Ube cheesecake but don’t eat it fresh out of the oven, chill it first! I think it tastes a lot better cold. It also makes for a great gift. The tarts are good if you like a little bit of crunch and a little bit of a crust on your dessert. The standard cheesecake is really fluffy compared to western style cheesecake. It’s a lot lighter and less dense. It’s got a soft and moist chew.

Good cheesecake of course ! This location has not-so-good customer service. I ordered a foam green tea and requested less tea and more space for the foam. The lady looked at me and nodded but prepared their usual. When I pointed out that I had asked for more space for foam she just shrugged and said “next time”….. almost sounded like “better luck next time dude”

Nice classic Japanese cheesecake shop. Located at the corner of the food court. They give free samples and the egg tarts are based off what they have available. They take apple pay and google pay as well. Definitely recommend if you happen to be in the mall as it is nowhere close to anyone in south bay

Delicious Japanese cheesecake. Too bad the lady serving us today (August 16th, 2024 at 7:30 pm) was so dismissive and rude. I think we’ll avoid from now on.

Really liked their small crunchy/delicate tart-style cheese cakes! They are perfect size to try several flavors at once. Not too sweet and amazingly delicious when just from oven! Would be cool Uncle Tetsu had also drinks options. For now the best combo is his cheese cakes + coffee at Philz Coffee 😊🤍🤎
