The day before my mother passed away, I got her a sugar free Junior’s Cheesecake. Her eyes lit up when I presented it to her. She was so happy. I’m glad she had a good meal before she left us.
Junior's family owners were offered like $70 million for that property WITH a promise to let them return the restaurant to the ground floor after construction of a new tower was complete. In the end they said NO, they could not bare to close and destroy the original location. That's real love and dedication for your brand and customers!!
That’s the main trait of true NY style cheesecakes, they’re very dense and not for everyone which is why a lot of people actually do not like NY cheesecake. If you want light and fluffy, go to Eileen’s in Lower Manhattan.
Agreed. Junior's sets the standard for classic NY-style cheesecake. Italian or German cheesecakes will be much lighter and less rich, and I love those too. NY cheesecake definitely isn't for everyone, but for a born and bred NYer, it's what we think of first when we think cheesecake.
UA, NYC cheesecake is supposed to be Dense, you want light and fluffy? Cheesecake factory is waiting for ya! Light and fluffy means they skimped on the cream cheese and whipped it too much to add air to it so they keep overhead costs down. No bueno.
I think that’s an overly cynical view to say that making a fluffy cheesecake is to save money. Like UA, I also think a light fluffy cheesecake is just better. That’s why I don’t like NY style.
Cheesecake factory is just really heavy on the gelatine, which is why it has such a gross texture, like solid pudding. It's not really the whipping, which I think also makes for a nice cheesecake.
In hindsight, it might teach him how other people have to live when they can't use one hand to cut things. I like this. Sort of a lesson without being a lesson . I'm one of those people who can't use their other hand and try to find different ways to make up for it.
I work in downtown brooklyn. You have to try Mile End Delicatessen just a few blocks away from Junior’s. Their corn beef reuben is delicious and it’s an entire sandwich for 17 bucks. You can have it on rye, pumpernickel or anything you want. It’s one of the better places I’ve discovered while having lunch in the area.
@@HerrBrutal-bl2fk why would you compare corn beef to mcdonald's? It costs around 18 bucks a pound to buy it cold cut, unless you buy it in bulk. Next you're gonna tell me not to order steak 'cause I could've had a bag of takis instead.
17 bucks for a Reuben even in downtown brooklyn is not a bargain for that area. 14 bucks is decent and 10-12 would be a steal but I wouldn't put "entire sandwich" in front of 17 bucks for a Reuben sando. I'm born and raised in Brooklyn and live walking distance from that spot but have never been. How's the motzoh ball soup at mile end? Btw Mile End is a restaurant that poses as a Deli, just b/c it has "Delicatessen" on the building doesn't mean it is one. It's EXTREMELY high end for what they serve. That area is VERY expensive with multi million dollar townhouses and brownstones everywhere. You must be one of those ppl who are rich but don't think they are b/c they can't purchase anything they want at any time. "I'm not rich, if I were I'd be able to buy that 20 mllion dollar townhouse I had my eye on! I only live in a 2 million one!" lol. I'm just busting your chops, no harm intended.
@@corgeousgeorge no harm done. I just don't see where I called it a bargain, all I'm saying is I prefer it to Junior's portion-wise and it tastes better than the cold cuts I've bought. I'm also far from rich. Moved here from the Dominican Republic and worked my way up over the years. I just happen to be doing a little better in life and exploring new places is one of my simple pleasures. So far, downtown bk is 10 times better than the financial district as far as food goes. I'm very pleased with the options.
Hi UA. I like Junior’s. It is always consistent. To me lighter fluffy cheesecake is less pure flavor. So iconic is this place. They used to make the cheesecake on premises and in Queens. They opened up the factory in Jersey and ship to stores all the country and are available on Goldbelly.Thanks man.
I patronized my home town of Brooklyn Junior's location many times and recently visit the Manhattan locations when I commute into NYC. The pastrami sandwich is normally a bit thicker than yours and is excellent. The cheese cake, and the crust may I add, is also excellent and the various toppings are all great. New Yorkers are used to "cream" cheese cake which is a little thicker than you may be used to.
I have had Junior's cheesecake, and it is nothing special. The best cheesecake I have ever had was from the Pompton Queen in Pompton Plains, New Jersey. It is dense, smooth, and creamy. Besides that, anything from this diner is exceptional. I would definitely give it a try.
Junior's has a sandwich combo that is incredible. Corned beef on one sandwich and pastrami on another. They are served on an, ONION ROLL. Yes I know. I was dubious too since it wasn't rye but it's amazing. Nothing like hitting Junior's in midtown after a Sunday Broadway matinee. It's one of the great New York experiences. UA I love your videos. You represent everything that is great about the NYC area. We are all about people from everywhere appreciating everything. I know that you are a Jersey guy but you are such a New Yorker. Keep up the awesome videos!
I used to drive from the North Bronx to Juniors just to get a cheese cake. I miss it so much. All their food is great, but that cheesecake is addictive!
Juniors has the best cheesecake in terms of consistency and variety for a decent price. Best cheesecake ive ever had was the juniors tiramisu cheesecake with ladyfingers around the sides that comes wrapped with a red ribbon. So good.... The key lime pie at keens is fantastic, as well as the key lime at Peter Luger.
Man, I've always seen those boxes of Junior's cheesecakes in grocery stores but never actually bothered to try it. I didnt realize Juniors was so iconic in the NY scene
You seem so in tune with people and wanting to make us happy. ❤😂 thank you. This is my second video from your channel. The first was I think the Salt Bae steak video. Thanks!! ❤
Agreeing with others saying denser cheese cake is definitely “NY” style, and of course taste is all relative. I’ll say you have to start off with the plain @ Junior’s first, then gravitate towards the Strawberry. That’s a really nice balance. This is my neighborhood joint and has been for the decades I’ve been in Bklyn. The food has been consistently excellent, and the staff are truly top notch, really lovely people. Oh, and a little secret…Junior’s breakfasts are off the chain amazing. Their corned beef hash with poached eggs on top? People: It’s friggin AMAZING. Their French toast is off the chain.
I prefer cheesecake dense and creamy as opposed to light and airy, so for me Junior's fits the bill. I've never eaten there and had their pastrami however, and thanks to your review I'll definitely take a short ride into Brooklyn and try it soon! Thanks for another great review, UA!
My favorite pastrami is Langers and 2nd Ave Deli. I get it with Russian dressing, coleslaw, and swiss cheese. How do you feel about a pastrami sandwich with more than just mustard?
Holy heLL 😮! The comments section has suddenly become more grittier & raw than an ol' skool ECW crowd 😂 UA better make sure not to ever fart on a vid or the crowd here WILL let you know 😂
Just discovered your channel and love your reviews ! I live in the Lancaster/Palmdale area in California and there isn't a single good steak house here ! I need to head to Vegas and try Elvis s favorite! Would not be able to get to New York for Delmonicos omg that steak !
Fun fact about Junior's, the service is top notch and fast AF and the place has SOOOOO much room. Perfect for large parties or tourist groups. It can take a bus load of ppl with no problem. Shout out to the cheeseburgers there. That grill is so seasoned from 70 years of being in business that every burger tastes like heaven. It's pricey for what it serves but you're paying for the brand and the nostalgia and the taste. I have never eaten anything bad there.
And yeah that’s definitely the Junior’s trademark the dense rich substantial cheesecake nothing airy or light about it that’s why I love it so much it’s something that stays with you for a while.
It's $9.00 at Juniors for a slice of plain cheesecake. I want it to be dense. It means they put more ingredients in it like sour cream and flour. My homemade one tasted similiar to this because of that. When I go, I almost always get the flavored cheesecake slices because its only a $1.00 extra.
Man I use to go to juniors in the 80’s &. 90’s. The one his at dats dwntwn bklyn same one I use to always go to - there’s so much history there in that whole area
I've been to Juniors many times. I am not a fan of their cheese cake but I love their strawberry short cake and their onion rings. My favorite cheese cake is the rugalach chocolate cheese cake from Harold's NY Deli. The serving is too big to eat at one sitting and weighs about 5 lbs. But it is fabulous.
Hey UA, just a heads up. It’s a little much when you have music in the background ambient sound, plus you put your own soundtrack. They conflict and with your narration it becomes overwhelming.
LOVE UA! As an ashkenazi Jew, this place is kosher style and not Kosher in the spiritual sense (cheesecake and meat together is a no go - oh and the pig lol) but I prefer my cheesecakes dense and not too airy as that will creep into mousse at some point!
That sandwich looks absolutely smacking In regards to the birthday singing, i always told my parents to never say it was my bday at the restaurant Im an introvert and that would ruin my night out of embarassment
I may be wrong, but Cheesecake Factory cheesecake is more dense and I love their cheesecakes. I don’t mind the lighter ones, but I prefer the denser type of cheesecakes. As far as the price, $9.00 is the going rate for a piece of cheesecake.
I don't even have to watch the video to know the answer is yes. I LOVE Junior's cheesecake, and many of the newer flavors (not all, but most) they have these days. The food can be hit or miss like most places, but the few times I've had the pastrami there and a few other things, they were delicious.
Dense is proper. I also think cheesecake alone is a bit "boring"... it needs like a fruit syrupy goodness or another component. I really like carrot cake cheescake combination. Either alone is ok, but together is great.
Jr's has been around a very long time and it's been serving the same stuff. The cheesecake was considered the best at one time but I also prefer a lighter fluffier cheesecake.
UA DIDN'T acknowledge one of the things that makes JUNIOR's Cheese Cake different than rest. Its something I suspect, UA is enamored with. That would be a Graham Cracker Crust. Junior's use a thin layer of Sponge Cake. NO Graham Cracker Flavor / Bummer for UA.
I went to Junior's for decades for their regular cheesecake (and other flavors of course). I still think their original regular old cheesecake is the best.
I'm not really a cheesecake fan -- I think it's a pretty one-note, kind of boring dessert -- but NY style cheesecake is in fact denser than traditional cheesecake.
You can’t tell Junior fans anything that would change their mind lol, but I have learned that New York style cheesecake really is dense, I’ve been to many bakeries throughout the city and the thick texture is the signature so it comes down to preference which everyone has the right to have, I personally prefer my spoon to sink right through the cheesecake and melt in my mouth instead of my exercising my jaw muscle Fluffy cheesecake does not necessarily mean it’s lower quality and less rich, it’s all the science and some people have it down packed, some people don’t If anyone lives in the Central Florida area and begs to differ, stop by my shop 😁
Eventhough the cheesecake looks great, the cake has definitely been processed from the cheesecake factory that Junior's i believe has since it ships nationwide. This is probably why it was a bit colder than maybe. Ultimately I think junior's is a good place but yeah there are other places that specialize on bringing the NY cheesecake to the forefront.
Unfortunately I can’t watch the videos anymore. That circus song that plays is mind numbing at this point There is soo much royalty free music available, that is very easy to add to a video
Agree with this. UA, I’ve been watching your videos since your early days and you really need to evolve if you want to grow. Especially trying to make a living long term as a RUclipsr.
@@cr8zie I’m a big fan of the channel and what he does. I spend way more time on RUclips than I should and it’s the only channel out of 100s I subscribe to that uses the same song on repeat Hopefully it changes, it’s such an easy fix but doesn’t seem interested
Thank heaven someone agrees itith me. Junior's cheese cake is nothing more than cream cheese held together with liquid nail. At one time, many years ago, Junior's cheesecake was outstanding. But in the past 10 years, it's gotten bad. The best cheesecake I ever ate was in a little Italian restaurant in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, PA.; it was creamy and moist, light but so rich, and no ricotta used. This cheese cake puts Juniors to shame.
Your Gallaghers looked like a strawberry or raspberry sauce cheesecake where here you got the plain one so not quite the Apples to apples comparison. Cool video though!
I feel like there's more criticism than normal in this comment section- alot of loud critics today for whatever reason! I've been there and agree with the criticisms about the Premiere date (just drop the video and comment whenever your have time after!) but think the rest is unwarranted. Love the content as usual UA, keep it up and don't change the format ^^
I like UA's videos precisely because of his style and how he makes them. I do not like the short irritating Tik Tok style videos but some want everything that way. I enjoy a relaxing video eating a nice meal with UA. I like his choice of restaurants. I am a fan.I praise his channel to others.
I agree with you. It is a good cheesecake but there are better. My uncle likes Juniors and brings it to my house for the holidays. I live in Queens, NY and there is a local cheesecake place called Cascon which is excellent and better.
what are you complaining about? lunch special is a half sandwich...and you missed out on their onion rolls. Also you missed their complementary sides of pickled beets, pickles, and a cabbage salD. I think you might have to ask...they do not like waste
The day before my mother passed away, I got her a sugar free Junior’s Cheesecake. Her eyes lit up when I presented it to her. She was so happy. I’m glad she had a good meal before she left us.

It sounds like you prefer the whipped cheese pie, like you'd get from a jello instant "cheesecake".

Fun fact about Junior's, the service is top notch and fast AF and the place has SOOOOO much room. Perfect for large parties or tourist groups. It can take a bus load of ppl with no problem.

I had Juniors cheesecake from the supermarket and always felt it was nothing special.
Totally different, it’s why Guiness taste way better in Dublin vs USA.
The devil's food cheese cake is the cake i always ask for when it comes to my birthday cake. Its so good. Can't go wrong with the classic

As an ashkenazi Jew, this place is kosher style and not Kosher in the spiritual sense (cheesecake and meat together is a no go - oh and the pig lol) but I prefer my cheesecakes dense and not too airy as that will creep into mousse at some point!

Juniors Cheesecake is the BEST! ❤
Shout out to the Diddler.. hell nah ain’t walking to get no cheesecake lol
went to school across the street....went there often......great burgers too
Hi UA - Always enjoy your take and your videos. Just keep being you, and look at your sub count going up every day.
That sandwich looks absolutely smacking
In regards to the birthday singing, i always told my parents to never say it was my bday at the restaurant
Im an introvert and that would ruin my night out of embarassment
Vegas Diner in Bensonhurst back in the day had the best cheesecake
The Key Lime cheesecake is good @ Magnolia Bakery it’s not dense at all I love their texture
That's what she said
UA is describing Sara Lee cheesecake. Hard pass.
I may be wrong, but Cheesecake Factory cheesecake is more dense and I love their cheesecakes. I don’t mind the lighter ones, but I prefer the denser type of cheesecakes. As far as the price, $9.00 is the going rate for a piece of cheesecake.
Asks for rye bread, then @ 4:13 says on a roll. Luckily the waitress wasn't confused!
He had made the substitution and the waitress knew. He was only reminding her that he had ordered the lunch special which said roll.
Funny, good review as usual. Probably should have tried the mustard before you applied it to the rest of the sandwich and were disappointed?
I don't even have to watch the video to know the answer is yes. I LOVE Junior's cheesecake, and many of the newer flavors (not all, but most) they have these days. The food can be hit or miss like most places, but the few times I've had the pastrami there and a few other things, they were delicious.
I’ve been to that location, and only that location. I thought it was overrated…
Something iconic means the quality is not the same anymore
I think the fluffier cheesecake is usually an Italian cheesecake.
Dense is proper. I also think cheesecake alone is a bit "boring"... it needs like a fruit syrupy goodness or another component. I really like carrot cake cheescake combination. Either alone is ok, but together is great.

Juniors opened a restaurant in Boca Raton Florida with lots of fanfare. Sadly it closed about a year later.
Had fond memories eating the carrot cake cheesecake with a glass of chocolate egg cream.
Looks like my kind of diner.
is the mustard strong or are you just too weak for the mustard. lol usually having something to cut through the fat and grease is good.
Prices look high to me, but then I’ve never been to the east coast.
Nobody goes to Junior's for their regular cheesecake... you gotta be the Strawberry Cheesecake my boi
I went to Junior's for decades for their regular cheesecake (and other flavors of course). I still think their original regular old cheesecake is the best.

Fluffy cheesecake does not necessarily mean it’s lower quality and less rich, it’s all the science and some people have it down packed, some people don’t

Thank heaven someone agrees itith me. Junior's cheese cake is nothing more than cream cheese held together with liquid nail. At one time, many years ago, Junior's cheesecake was outstanding. But in the past 10 years, it's gotten bad. The best cheesecake I ever ate was in a little Italian restaurant in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, PA.; it was creamy and moist, light but so rich, and no ricotta used. This cheese cake puts Juniors to shame.
try the strawberry cheesecake next time the strawberries are gigantic
How about a 50k sub Q&A UA?!
Your Gallaghers looked like a strawberry or raspberry sauce cheesecake where here you got the plain one so not quite the Apples to apples comparison. Cool video though!
Not going to address the salad?
yes i love the cheesecake dense....not too creamy
A Jewish deli in NYC. What a rare find
the boss! Tony Danza! hahaha cheesecake is the best. even if it'd not great, it's still good! 👍🏻
Mustard = vinegar, which helps offset the fattiness of the meat.
Lindy's cheesecake was also dense and rich.
I feel like there's more criticism than normal in this comment section- alot of loud critics today for whatever reason! I've been there and agree with the criticisms about the Premiere date (just drop the video and comment whenever your have time after!) but think the rest is unwarranted. Love the content as usual UA, keep it up and don't change the format ^^
I like UA's videos precisely because of his style and how he makes them. I do not like the short irritating Tik Tok style videos but some want everything that way. I enjoy a relaxing video eating a nice meal with UA. I like his choice of restaurants. I am a fan.I praise his channel to others.
Always enjoy your reviews, but good to see you branching out from steak and pastrami. Keep up the good work!
Wrong, more pastrami and matzoh ball soup.
Love your content and honesty... Glad to see you are growing ❤❤❤
I agree with you. It is a good cheesecake but there are better. My uncle likes Juniors and brings it to my house for the holidays. I live in Queens, NY and there is a local cheesecake place called Cascon which is excellent and better.
The Best Cheese Cake is at DeStefano's Steak House 593 Lorimer St. In Williamsburg Brooklyn
UA sure what you’re expecting for the price of cheesecake. Those prices are very much what everyone charges now.
what are you complaining about? lunch special is a half sandwich...and you missed out on their onion rolls.
Also you missed their complementary sides of pickled beets, pickles, and a cabbage salD. I think you might have to ask...they do not like waste
Ivthink you would prefer a ricotta cheesecake. New York cheesecake has a cream cheese base
Extreme sour pickle is mandatory with the pastrami....
