Supermoon Japanese Style Cheesecakes — Restaurant in Mississauga

What's this? Trendy Asian desserts in the middle of Streetsville? Wow I would have never expected to have this in the middle of a run down strip mall. This maybe the first Japanese cheesecake spot I've seen outside of a mall in GTA west. The spot is take out only as there are no tables or even a bar stool. It's quite sparse but there is an adorable cute cartoon of an astronaut rabbit and his adventures. The moon craters in the drawing are almost as big as the pot holes in the parking lot.

My visit here on a Friday afternoon was quiet at first with a single person behind the counter. Within a few moments, a line of 4 people just sprouted. Because there was only one person, the 4 people just waited and waited. Don't get me wrong, it was a nice staff person but it's still frustrating to wait and have no service.

So there are 2 main offerings with the Japanese cheesecake and the cheese tarts. The Japanese cheesecake is very different. It's supposed to be a fluffy cotton soft texture that melts in your mouth. I'm not sure how it is here as they don't offer single slices. They also have bubble teas and hot drinks but I think their main item are the cakes and tarts. The cheesecakes come in several flavours: sweet cheese original, chocolate, red velvet, and their monthly flavour mocha. If you want the fluffy Japanese cheesecake, bring friends cause they only sell the one full cake for $12. No slices sadly. The tarts are small and $3 each.

Original cheese tart - I appreciated how they were just cooking a fresh batch and we got ours just out of the oven. Since they don't sell slices of the cheesecakes, we got cheese tarts instead. They are shortbread crumbly crust was minimal flavour and filled to the brim with a creamy dense liquid cheese filling. It's almost like a molten traditional cheesecake. The flavour is unmistakably sweet Philadelphia cream cheese. Though the creamy texture is quite nice, I'm not sure if there is anything great that makes me go "ohhh I need more". Still a fairly nice tart 3.5/5

Strawberry bubble tea - huh ... for $6 this was smaller than the small bubble teas of most other places. I think Chatime would be only $4. This drink was sadly watered down. I felt it was not balanced with the amount of ice in it. Overall too small, too expensive, and no real flavour - 2/5

Matcha bubble tea - this was slightly better than the strawberry but not really. It wasn't watery as much but still lacking good flavour that I would expect for $6 for a small cup. It was missing a good matcha flavour. Not very good unfortunately 2.5/5

Overall, I like the looks of the cute place but the lack of great flavours and higher cost makes me think there's...

Update July 24th 2021

I went back and I ordered the original and the red velvet. Service is quick and efficient as to be expected now. Kudos to that.

The red velvet was okay, it was lacking on the sour notes that qualify any red velvet variations. I do prefer the original or the strawberry ( When they have it ) as my favourites for now.

I will report back when I have tried the chocolate and other flavours.

I was in the area today and I decided to drop in pick one up for my wife . I have tried Uncle Tetsu's many times and I have eaten it over in Asia as well.

Truth be told, I was never a fan of the Japanese style of cheesecake. However, I did enjoy this cheesecake. It definitely tastes better than Uncle Tetsu's in my opinion. But to each their own right?

I wanted to pick up a Red Velvet cheesecake, but I was too early. ....arghhhhh !!! So be warned my fellow foodies. You will need to go after 1PM or so when they will have their full assortment available.

I opted for the FOTM ( Flavour of the month ) which is the strawberry Flair.

The service was very helpful and friendly. The location was clean and spotless. There is plenty of parking in the mall. So this location is very easy to get to and from.

I found the texture most similar to that of my favourite cheesecake from Junior's in New York City. If you have tried a Junior's cheesecake before, then you will know that I really like the layer of soft and velvety sponge cake on the bottom.

The taste is quite good, not overly sweet nor heavy. I really liked the overall texture. It was quite enjoyable....it reminded me of Junior's.

Man, when are the borders opening up...I have to head down to NYC for some good eats !!!

So all in all, I was quite happy and satisfied with the cheesecake here and dare I say that I will definitely return later on to try the Red Velvet and the Chocolate versions.

Before I forget, if you collect 10 "Moons" ( The lovely box that the cheesecake is boxed in ), then you can get a free cake. So that is nice and generous.

Please give them a try and let us all know what you think.

This is line drive triple into the gap in...

I'll tell you why I rate this place how I did. I went to order a cheesecake and asked them to keep it on hold for me as I had to run a few errands nearby and didn't want to miss out of the cakes being sold out. There was 3 staff at the time and the boy working there said he would have it saved for me for when I come back. He said he'd write my name and phone number in the book but changed his mind and said he'd write it on a sticky note instead seeing as I'd be back in roughly 20 minutes. 15 minutes passed by and I came back and ALL the staff were gone except for one girl whom I didn't see earlier. I told her I was picking up a cake and she asked if it was preordered. I told her yes as I was there 15 minutes ago and the boy wrote down my information. She told me the note wasn't there and nothing was written in the book AND the cheesecake I wanted was sold out. She also rudely stated they weren't going to make anymore. I was dumbfounded. I was thinking the boy forgot to save my a cake and when he realized there weren't anymore he asked this girl to deal with me. I drove back home and got a call ONE HOUR LATER from the boy who took my order asking if I was picking up the cake. I told what happened and he said it's still there. So I drove back and obviously frustrated. For one, there was no communication between staff, the girl was rude. If they sold out and I had preordered a cake, wouldn't it be courteous to offer and make a cake? Also the boy never once looked apologetic in his tone or face, like he didn't want to make it seem it was his fault for the miscommunication. And I don't know why the girl never thought to go in the back and ask her coworkers if anyone knew about the post-it or my order. There's a lack of customer service skills in every employee I had to deal with. I was not happy to drive back to pick up a cake that was stored in the back room or how the employees dealt with...
