Baked cheese tart is smooth creamy with a flaky crust. Recommend if you are looking for something sweet but not super rich

Milk tea and fruit tea - very sweet, even at 50% sweet. Boba soft. Fruit tea tastes artificial.

I'm personally not a big fan of the Japanese version of the cheesecake but the rest of the family is crazy about it hence the four stars.

Take-out review 2/24 Had the chance to try their yummy desserts at a family dinner. The cheesecake was SOOO good! Light, fluffy, slightly sweet (as most Asian desserts are). Priced around $19, which is actually reasonable compared to most dessert/pie/cake equivalents. Japanese desserts feel light, so even after a hearty meal, you still want it! Also tried the matcha tiramisu. Sorry no photo. It was gone before I could snap a photo. This was a bit pricey at $14 for a small round. Considering the price of matcha though, the price really is warranted. Strong slightly bitter matcha flavor. Lucious creamy filling. Not overly sweet. It was a bit out of the way for them to pick up. However, who else but family is worth it? Right?

Japanese cheesecake 10/10; if you like Japanese soufflés it's very similar to it. Strawberry cheesecake ice blended drink, 10/10; tastes just like a yogurt drink it's topped with whip cream.

I think it's decent for Japanese cheesecake, I just wasn't impressed enough to regularly come back. Not that really stood out to me so I gave it a medium rating.

the service here is terrible. we were taking our time looking at menu because this was our first time here, but the older lady working the cashier seemed to be quite moody. she was giving unwarranted attitude. the guys working there were nice, but the service while ordering left a bad taste in the mouth. the food was a little pricey and made my stomach hurt on the way home. i normally don't write reviews, but for some reason today, i was feeling quite offended by how i was being treated. will not be coming here again. note: i'm not lactose intolerant.

Have tried the Yaki Pudding Cheesecake, Baked Cheese Tart, Japanese Cheesecake and Matcha Tiramisu. All of them tasted really good and not too sweet. My personal favorite is the Matcha Tiramisu! It has the right blend of bitter, sweet and salty. The matcha cream at the bottom is soooooooo creamy. A definitely must try for matcha lovers. I also tried the Iced Pineapple Mango Black Tea, which I also liked. It's a bit sweet at first taste so you just have to let the ice melt a little. Price wise it's a bit expensive considering the sizes of the desserts but it's a good treat every once in a while. Will definitely come back here to try the rest.

Very cute shop. All the packaging is adorable as well- expected from a Japanese dessert shop. We had a chocolate, regular and matcha cheesecake and they Were great. Also wanted to share that im not a big matcha fan- most matcha ive had tastes grassy to me. What i have learned is that means its lower quality. I am happy to report that this matcha was not grassy. Very subtle and fresh flavor- i enjoyed it. All 3 flavors are delish and i enjoyed them for my bday celebration!
The fluffiest cheesecakes at the Japanese Dessert spot in National City - fresh baked daily! The founder studied Japanese cheesecake and came up with the perfect recipe that makes their cheesecake both jiggly and delicious! We tried the traditional cheesecake, yaki pudding, uji matcha tiramisu, jasmine tea with boba, matcha with an espresso shot and the cheesecake tarts. The match was so good and imported from Japan. The shop is also so cute and welcoming, they have plenty of seating! Everything was so fresh and delicious! We can't wait to go back.

Love their double chocolate fromage! Guy at cashier was very friendly and helpful. Didnt know had to keep this in the freezer and that was a good tip! Cheesecake was nice, not too sweet, like a dense sponge. Store looks cute. Would definitely come back.

We got the Yaki Pudding cheesecake and the two taiyakis. Both we very good in flavor, but it was pricey for the size. We were going for their original but they were out of slices and were only selling the whole cake (which is very small). Make sure you go early if you want a slice! They do show you all of the sizes of things and prices in their front glass counter before ordering.The Yaki Pudding cheesecake was really good. It's basically a pudding (similar to flan) at the bottom with their original cheesecake on top. It is small, so take account for that at almost $7The taiyakis were 2 for ~$5 which is actually a good price! You can pick two fillings and the dough itself was chewy! It was similar to a mochi donut texture wise and the filling was great! We got red bean and nutella. They are made fresh to order, so they came out hot!Overall, it was delicious and we'd like to try the original cheesecake when we go back!
Everything Japanese cheesecake should be! Light, delicate, "bouncy." We also got a red bean and a Nutella taiki. Sooo good. I'm partial to the red bean and will try a custard one next time. The Nutella becomes too sweet for me but my friend who joined me loved it and preferred it over the red bean. Delicious regardless of personal preferences. I also had an Earl Grey milk tea. Just perfect. Not too sweet and a properly strong bergamot flavor. Thank you, Mad for Cheesecake!
