I love the style and set design for the Cheesecake Factory. When walking by this restaurant in the Source Mall, you just instinctively know that it belongs in the middle of Manhattan. But when entering and have a meal here, the whole appeal of the restaurant is lost. No matter how nice and flashy the restaurant furnishing are, the food still has to be good or fairly priced. This is not the case at the Cheesecake Factory.
Many people say that the Cheesecake Factory is an amazing restaurant. I don't feel that this is true.
When I dined here, I had the Pad Thai. A dish I frequently order at different restaurants for comparison. The Pad Thai I had at the Cheesecake Factory was the worst ever! The noodle, cashew, meat proportions were incorrect for a typical Pad Thai dish and the price was ridiculous. At a previous restaurant called Lemongrass in, I had a larger, better tasting dish of Pad Thai for a cheaper price.
Mabye my review may be one-sided because I only visited the Cheesecake Factory once and only had one dish there. But the experience was bad enough for me to know I shouldn't return.
At least if you do go there, Do Not Get The Pad Thai. There are better places to get it.
Hope this is helpful.
