The Cheesecake Factory

My second visit in a week, albeit in a different city (was in Anaheim a few days earlier) The cheesecake remains it's biggest draw. Service isn't the fastest and unless you tip a minimum 20%, they are going to make you 'enjoy the atmosphere'. Wait times can be very long, so perhaps visit if you have plenty of time set aside. Took over 20min just to pack a cheesecake for take out. No pre-cutting required, no cooking required, no fancy decorations -Just pop the whole cake into a box and pass it back to me. People who came after me were served faster. I eventually had to chase up the order only for the server to see it was just sitting there ready to be placed into a box. I was not offered any cutlery or napkins as with previous or as with other customers. It is what it is I guess. Think the novelty is beginning to wear off.

This was my first time at this location. Me & my friend went there because we were tired & hungry after hours of shopping. Obviously we didn't had reservation, so went for walk-in & waited for 15mins for indoor seating. Notably whole staff was very efficient, friendly and polite. They served us water & bread n butter at first. Bread was warm enough to get our appetite down (my friend finished it within 10mins). We ordered Avocado eggrolls and they were delicious. I loved the crispness of rolls. Definitely they were very fresh. (Forgot to take a snap. hungry souls) We ordered Tomato Basil pasta and Bistro Shrimp Pasta as our main course. When food arrived, we knew it's impossible to finish everything (very large portions). So we finished whatever we can and took rest of food as to-go. Both the pastas were tasty and delicious! ???? Now we know where to go after shopping in mall. Will definitely visit soon. Awesome food n service!

we came for lunch on a weekday. The hostess said that the places are free only in high studios or on the street. However, there were a lot of empty ordinary tables, I think it is unlikely that they were all reserved, despite the heat, we were skeletal on the street. We ordered an appetizer and two pastas. Frye’s cheese appetizer was delicious, didn't like the pasta, a lot of oil. before the start of the meal, they brought bread with butter and water, which is nice.
