Pricey and small but they cheesecakes are very light and fluffy in taste and it came with cute packaging, a cake cuter and two forks. We bought boba from another store and were able to fit 4 of them on top of the cheesecake, in the bag they provided, so I appreciated the bag very much. The interior is very cute and has a lot of anime figurines my daughter admired while I ordered. Service was super fast and staff were very friendly.

Delicious soft and fluffy Japanese cheesecakes! Got the matcha and strawberry cheesecakes and both were delicious. They were light, fluffy, and not too sweet whilst still tasting a lot like their respective flavors. If you haven't tried Japanese cheesecakes before, you should definitely give this a shot!

I had to check out UFOUU in Chinatown after seeing it all over TikTok, and it was worth a stop. When we went, they had a promo where you got a mystery treat if you followed them on Instagram. We ended up with a blind box figure, which was a fun little bonus. Surprisingly, the place was empty, and we were the only ones there, which made it a bit odd that the staff barely acknowledged us. They weren't particularly friendly, which wasn't a big deal but we did notice. There's a few tables and a counter, and the space is night and bright and colorful. Their branding is also super cute, with luxury looking to-go bags and their logo embossed on every cheesecake. The prices are definitely on the steep side, but the cheesecake I got was really good. I tried the salted egg yolk cheesecake ($22) and it was creamy, decadent, and not too sweet with a pleasant fluffy texture. I'd love to go back and try the meat floss flavor next time. Overall, it's a special treat kind of spot- not somewhere I'd go regularly, but worth a try if you're in the area and curious.

Lovely. This was my first experience with Japanese cheesecake and it was interesting. Of course, the Japanese service and ambiance was on point; attentive and efficient. The cake... delicious! I ordered the classic cake. It's the subtle asian custard flavor. Don't expect a dense, sugar (delicious :-) cake. Expect a very light dessert! The only reason for 4 stars is that I have no other Japanese cheesecakes to compare my experience with. I have no problem recommending Ufouu's! Peace

Like others have mentioned, I think the price for the size of cheesecake you get is steep at $18-22 a piece depending on the flavor. But, with that being said, the actual cheesecake it self is one of the most delicious cakes I've tried. It's incredibly light, airy, and not overly sweet. They do use A LOT of eggs in their recipe so you can definitely taste some eggy-ness but it's not overpowering in taste. If you've never tried a Japanese Cheesecake before, this is definitely a must try.
