    The new Cheesecake Factory in Cypress is a great addition to the area. This chain always feels elegant and fancy for a mid tier restaurant. I love the seating and interior, but the best thing about The Cheesecake Factory is the variety offered in their extensive menu and the quality of the food. This one fits the bill. It was a shopping day with the wife and daughter with lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. We started off with the Egg Roll Sampler Appetizer and it was a great start. The variety of tastes was the star of the show mixing and matching, trying to find the best sauce ratio. My favorite was the chicken taquito. My wife loved the cheeseburger and I can't fault her for it because they were great. Obviously my wife has great taste. My daughter said the Avocado egg roll was the best. I tried it and hated it, AVOCADOS ARE GROSS! For our entrees my daughter got the Seared Tuna Tataki Salad, my wife ordered the soup (cream of chicken) and salad with Caesar dressing. I decided to try something new and got the Steak Diane (woo hoo retro.) My daughter's Seared Ahi Tuna Salad was fantastic. The tuna was cooked well, though it could've been a bit more fatty. The salad was fresh and crisp and the dressing was bright and tangy with undernotes of sesame oil. My wife's soup and salad was great. The soup was homey and reminiscent of a rich pot pie. The Caesar dressing on the salad was spectacular. It was creamy and tangy just like Caesar should be. Now for my Steak Diane, I'm so glad I decided to try something new. You know, take me back to the fancy restaurants of the mid century because this dish was divine. The steak was in bite sized pieces but cooked perfectly. I loved the richness of the Diane sauce and the crisp mushrooms. For desert we had the Pineapple Upside Down cheese cake. It was delicious, a wonderful sweet desert that was the perfect light and airy end to a heavy lunch. I recommend The Cheesecake Factory in Cypress if you're in the area. Or if you're looking for someplace that feels special and fancy but you want to know it's going to not disappoint. And do yourself a favor and order something new, it's worth it. Almost forgot the drinks- My daughter got a Bloody Mary. I didn't try it because BLOODY MARYs are gross. I got the Spanish Old Fashioned. I think I like this better than a regular Old Fashioned. It was rich and smoky, the cold brew added a velvety chocolate taste. The orange peel notes were perfect and it had a good mouth feel. Simply amazing

    Came in on a Saturday afternoon expecting a long wait and was shocked to be seated almost immediately. Service was just okay. Not rude, but not exactly warm either. Felt like the staff was bracing for a rush the whole time. Food came out super fast though, which was a win. I got the Renee Special (half almond chicken salad, clam chowder, and a Caesar) and it's honestly a solid deal. The highlight? Being asked by the plate server if I wanted freshly grated pepper. Small touch, but it made me smile. Overall, not bad at all. And honestly, having a Cheesecake Factory closer to home is definitely a plus.

    My favorite restaurant ever is Cheesecake Factory..because of the chicken Madeira. It's pricey, for chicken but I'm willing to pay this because it's sooo good. Today I went with my husband and we both ordered the usual. Our waiter didn't offer us bread, he poured me room temp water with no ice, and we waited soooooo long for our food! It arrived and I had one and a quarter chicken filet. I wish I'd taken a photo. Usually there are 2!! Same price mind you. It was dry and overcooked. My husbands was too. There were 3 asparagus on each of our dishes the size of green beans. The only thing good was the cheesecake, it was amazing! Rant over. I'm so sad and disappointed!! Did take a photo of the sad tiny asparagus!

    We love Cheesecake Factory so we were excited that one opened in Cypress. We had a full day of sports tournament and were celebrating a big win as well as a birthday. We did make a reservation so we were seated right away when we arrived. One of my son's favorite thing about Cheesecake Factory is the bread so we were surprised when our waiter came and introduced himsslf and the first thing he said is "We have no bread". Disappointed, we ordered an appetizer-Parmesan Truffle fries and the waiter said "I don't think we have that either". He went to check and came back and said that they did have the fries after all. Then we placed our meal order-my husband ordered the Tuna Poke Bowl. Guess what? They didn't have that either. Ok-Cheesecake Factory has a huge menu-but what are the chances that they didn't have the first 3 things we wanted? In the end-the fries came out and we enjoyed them. Then bread magically appeared so we ate that too. Our meals arrived. I had Skinnylicious steak medallions, which I've had before. Very tasty and doesn't taste like a healthy item. My husband had the Seared Tuna Tataki Salad, which he enjoyed. My son had the Mac and Cheeseburger, also an old favorite, which was great. We shared a piece of cheesecake and a free tiny birthday Sundae. Which we couldn't finish because we had so much food. Everything turned out very good and despite the ordering hiccup we had a good meal and enjoyable celebration.

    First time going to this location since it's somewhat (45min drive) close to where we live and it was just a huge mess. I don't understand how they built such a small Cheesecake in such a busy location. The line was a mess everyone was just crowded by the entrance.So you had those waiting to put their name on list and those waiting to get called for a table and you didn't know who as who. Once we sat down it was a waiting game. Once the water and bread finally came out. We decided getting food was not really a good idea. By the time we ate most of the bread the cheesecake finally came out. After that we had a piece or 2 left of bread which we munched on while our drinks came out, which we had ordered as soon as we sat down. What seemed forever and just as we were about to leave the drinks finally came out. Then came the waiting on the check to come and get it back to sign. It's just a mess in there.

    Chicken Tenders were huge

    I haven't been to a Cheesecake Factory for a long while. But I remember they serve pretty decent food with top notch decor. My friend always bragging about this place. So, I decided to come here to have my first dine-out meal at an American restaurant for the new year. We arrived before busy dinnertime at 4 pm. This place was nearly full but there were so many empty standing seats. Several employees conjugated at the front of house. Not sure what we were waiting for. My friend was in a wheelchair. The waitress was really nice. She sat at a convenient corner without getting anyone's way. I ordered Green Chile Chicken Enchilada (18.95) while my friend got Chicken Tenders (19.95) and a Strawberry Infused Margarita. I enjoyed my enchilada because of the crunchy cabbage on top with the green chili sauce and the juicy chicken breast meat in the tortilla wraps. There was no cheese but sour cream on the enchilada. The beans and rice were very delicious. My friend liked his chicken and sides except for the watered down margarita ($14.95). The amount of chicken pieces was overwhelming. He was trying really hard to eat them. But the waiter kept asking him if he wanted them to be boxed. We got a little annoyed. The waiter also tried to take away my plate while I was holding the fork eating my rice. Upon leaving the restaurant, the employees were all standing around again and not a single person cared to hold the door for us. I had to push the wheelchair hard and let his feet kick the doors open to get out.

    Estimated time of the online order being ready (the website to order online is very phone friendly!)

    I recently left a positive review for a dine-in experience at this location, which makes this takeout experience especially disappointing. Based on what occurred, I do not recommend ordering takeout from this Cheesecake Factory location. The issue is not the food--it's the execution and customer service. The phone service alone is inefficient. Expect to be placed on hold for 10+ minutes. The first person who answered immediately put me on hold before I could speak. The second struggled to communicate, and the third person who assisted me was the manager. Issue 1: On 1/16, I placed an online order and later discovered the Chicken Madeira entrée was missing. This entrée was ordered specifically for my mom, and she did not have dinner that night. We ended up cooking, which defeated the purpose of ordering takeout after a long workweek. Issue 2: On 1/17 around 1:00 PM, called to resolve the issue and was placed on hold for about 10 minutes. The manager offered either a remake with no refund or a refund with no food. Given that the entrée was paid for and never received, a remake AND a refund would have been the reasonable solution. I was told the remake would be ready by 3:00 PM. Issue 3: When I arrived at the takeout window, no one acknowledged me. Staff nearby made eye contact but did not offer assistance. As I stood there, I called the Curbside Number and was placed on hold yet again. Issue 4: When I finally spoke with the manager, I was told the order still wasn't ready. Keep in mind that this was 3 hours after I was told that it would be ready for pickup. Needless to say, I cancelled the order and requested a refund. A complimentary slice of cheesecake was offered, which felt more like a consolation than a resolution. This level of disorganization is unacceptable for a high-volume chain restaurant. I wasn't asking for special treatment--just for a mistake to be handled efficiently and professionally. While I enjoy the food and the rest of our online order was correct, this takeout inconvenience required far too much effort. I would not recommend takeout from the Premium Outlet Mall location in Cypress and hope this feedback leads to improvements in their takeout operations.

    So glad to finally have a Cheesecake Factory in our neck of the woods. The location is super convenient--less than 10 minutes from my house and there's plenty of parking, which is always a win. I really loved that they have a fully enclosed, heated outdoor section that can also serve as overflow when the main dining room is crowded. That's a thoughtful setup and makes the wait feel way more manageable. Overall, it was exactly the Cheesecake Factory experience you expect--consistent, comfortable, and reliable. But what really stood out was our server, Jerry. He was from Louisiana and helped me customize my Cajun pasta, and let me tell you... it turned out amazing. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and checked on us just the right amount. We're hoping we get him every time we come back. All around, a great experience. Happy to have this location nearby and we'll definitely be back.

    I love the Cheesecake Factory! However, on this rainy Sunday evening. It was meh. It was more so the atmosphere that was the issue. Overly crowded, and wet floors from all the rain. Made the atmosphere somewhat uncomfortable. I did not get any brown rye bread until it was time to pack up my dinner. I was told that they kept running out. I stayed persistent and eventually received it packed with butter. I will return to this restaurant, as I believe it was just a bad day for them. I would definitely like to give an updated review. Our server did the best she could to keep up with demand. So, I made it a point to tip her well. I highly recommend going during off hours when it's not as busy, to get the full experience this restaurant is able to give.

    Godiva Chocolate Brownie Sundae
    Brittany B.

    Yay! Cypress finally has a Cheesecake Factory, and from the packed house during our visit, it seems like the community is excited. While I'd describe the experiences as mildly "chaotic" considering we visited during their opening week, it was still a win overall. If you know anything about me, you know I have STRONG sweet tooth. Unfortunately my health is not as strong, so I save comfort meals like these for date nights and cheat meals. This date night cheat meal built the anticipation with a 30 minute wait, and kept the surprises coming with the seating order. However, once seated our waiter Jerri was perfection. As usual the brown bread is a star, and the portions are plentiful. With the sauce the Cajun salmon was exactly a described, an indulgent comfort food dish packed with flavor (and butter...lots of butter). The sauce makes the dish. For dessert we did the unthinkable, we ordered a dessert that was not cheesecake. Instead, we tried the brownie sundae. Fair warning, this one is for the fudge lovers. I wouldn't call these brownies, I'd call them fudge, fudge topped with hot fudge, sandwiched in between two luscious scoops of vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream surrounded by a generous sprinkling of almond slivers. This dessert could easily serve 3-4 adults. You may be pleased to know that I grabbed a slice of cheesecake for the road. It served as a very sweet treat the next day. My advice: If you like the Cheesecake Factory, give this one a try. If you like the Cheesecake Factory and hate crowds, noise and awkward clustering, give this location a few months to settle in, then give them a try. Either way, happy dining!

    Yummy Mai tai. The bread is also delicious. I like the darker rye bread and butter. My little one loved the kids grilled salmon.

    We finally made our way to Cheesecake Factory Cypress. We arrived on Wednesday night at 7P. It was crowded and people waiting, but lucky for us we made reservations ahead of time and waited just 4 mins prior to being seated. We were seated and immediately our waiter tended to us getting our drink and appetizers. I had skinny margaritas and stuff mushrooms. We also had potstickers , Asian salad was good and cheesecake was delicious. Make sure you save room . Huge menus, lots of selection

    Came back here for my birthday to get the free slice of cheesecake. We ordered off the skinny menu this time and were pleased with the flavor. The prices here are a more than a little hard to swallow. The inside and service are quite nice, but this is going to have to stay a "special occasion" place for me because the prices are just too high

Came with harissa aioli and spicy tomato - sangria - we got some kind of jumbo size for a good deal. Good for sharing

I instead tried to order the caesar salad with filet and she said she couldn't do that either, and that it would be "very expensive" if I did order a filet on the side, which I wouldn't have minded paying for? A good filet is worth the price, but she steered me away from that. I ordered the lentil soup instead and it was delicious, but it came piping hot and had to wait about 10-15 minutes for it to cool to be able to eat it, and by that time, my friends were almost done with their dishes. :( The calamari was a delicious appetizer, very light and crispy and the dip was yummy too, I would order this again and highly recommend. I tried my friend's dishes, and they were also incredibly tasty. I don't think I would come back here solely based on the continuous interruptions of our conversation numerous times, it was quite frustrating and it made the restaurant seem far more casual than it initially seemed.

    I have always been a fan of Jinya since my first time at their midtown location over more than a…read moredecade ago. Fast forward to 2026 and I have become an even bigger fan of this particular location. My niece and I absolutely love coming here for their spicy creamy vegan ramen. It has just the right amount of spice and the flavor of the broth is actually oh-so-delicious! Service is always just as great as the ramen. Must order items besides the ramen are the Brussels sprouts tempura, edamame, and the shrimp tempura. I have also tried their miso eggplant appetizer which was good but I do wish that the eggplant was sliced evenly throughout the dish so that it would have the same texture throughout the entire dish. Some pieces were cooked perfectly while others were not tender because of the cut. Regardless the flavor was still there. Really want to try their chicken ramen next because I feel like this particular location makes everything tastes wayyy better than the other ones I have tried in Houston lol.

They forgot my ice cream for the 3 meals and I call the store and a guy said they don't put the ice cream because It can melt, i just think they should say it like (ice cream not included to go). Because the kids get excited and if they don't see it they get mad lol. 2 stara for be welcome and say Welcome in Japanese when you get in, and the second star Is for the food at least that's great.

    Delicious, creative meal with friendly and attentive service. We sat in the patio out back in June…read moreand it was a bit warm even with the fans so my preference would be to try to sit inside. Still it was fine. Enjoyed the gem salad, Nancy cakes, lamb tartare and wood grilled half chicken. Side of the beef fat sticky rice. Nancy cakes: yes I could eat these every visit. Really good combination of flavors and textures. Everything was nice: lamb tartare was delicious, salad was strong. Chicken satisfying. Had a solid dessert too: hazelnut marjolaine. I look forward to returning and trying a whole new batch of dishes.

    Nancy's Hustle is the real deal…read more Walked in with no expectations and left wondering how I'd gone this long without eating here. The Nancy Cakes are worth the hype, piping hot with that whipped butter and smoked trout roe combo that somehow just works. We also had the dumplings and the double cheeseburger on the English muffin, both excellent. The burger especially punches way above what you'd expect from a bistro. The vibe is perfect. Dark, relaxed, no pretension, and still feel like you're having a great night out. Michelin Bib Gourmand for a reason. This is one of the best restaurants in Houston, full stop. Just make a reservation, the place fills up fast.

    I might have just found one of my new favorite restaurants in Houston. What a great experience!…read more Recently, a good friend dined here and immediately called me to tell me how great it was. She then text our friends group and said we all had to come together and we did just that. She made reservations in advance as this place is popular thanks to recent Michelin Bib Gourmand awards as well as many other accolades. Walk ins are welcome as well. Our reservation was later in the evening so after a night of bar hopping, we ride shared in which I think is one of the best options as parking is limited here or you have to find street parking in the neighborhood. This place is literally a house turned into a restaurant. Inside is just multiple rooms with a couple of tables. It makes for a unique, intimate dining experience, perfect for a date night. In our case, we were a group of nine so we got patio seating. The patio is spacious and well kept, and if the weather cooperates, a great place to hang. One thing that really stood out to me is the amazing ambience of this place. I was told that the bartenders pick the music for the night from the owners extensive vinyl collection. Once the album is in, they play it in it's entirety. The sound system was systeming and on top of the great company and food, we were totally vibing with the music. Customer service was amazing. Every staff member we came across was so friendly, especially our server. The menu here changes. There are some mainstays, but they like to change things up. Their website shows current menus daily. We were told that family style is the best way to experience this restaurant. I am one of those people that will always listen to the staff and go with their suggestions. Our group went through quite a bit of their menu from apps, entrees and desserts. I loved that our server and staff brought our food out one by one in what they thought was the best progression so we could take a culinary journey. We started off light with their popular Dilly Bread. Best bread I've had in awhile. Next was the Texas Tartare. It was my first ever tartare and it was delicious. We then moved on to Fingerlingin Good which was a crispy potato dish with chili crisp and mascarpone. It was potatoes elevated to the highest level and so so good. Next up was Beer Battered Sweet Tots. I didn't think sweet potatoes could be that good. Our first entree was a vegan dish called the Carroty Kid. I could seriously become a vegan if all dishes tasted like this. It was curried. A bowl of jasmine rice would've made it a complete meal. Next we tried another famous Nobie's dish called Nonno's Pasta. Handmade, perfectly cooked tagliatelle with a delicious bolognese. I wouldn't share this next time. Ok, I will, but it was that good. On to the heavier dishes. First up was the Jamon With Your Bad Self. This came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. It was favorite heavy entree. It was high quality, iberico pork steak with shaved brussels and all kinds of other tasty ingredients that when combined made such a tasty bite. We then went to the sea with the Drops of Grouperter. It was good, but not something I would order again. It was a little too smoky for my liking. Our biggest dish that came market priced was the Kick His Ass Seabass. This was a whole fish that was presented beautifully on a platter with all the accouterments to make your own elevated fish tacos. We left no morsel of fish behind. It was absolutely delicious. One of the things this place is really known for is their pies. This was the part I was most excited about. Just like their menu, their pies change up. We got all their offerings that night which they presented on one big platter of goodness. Their main stay and I believe always on the menu is the famous Olive Oil Cake. It's not a pie, but I can see why this is such a popular dessert. I can't even describe it, you just have to try it to understand. The pies we had were the Black Bottom Strawberry Pie, Banana Rum, and the Peanut Butter Pie. I would order all of them again. We all had a difference of opinion on which was the best, but my fave was the Banana Rum. Overall, I was highly impressed with this place and kind of mad at myself for waiting so long to make it here. It had made it's way to the top of my list of favorite restaurants in Houston. I will be back.

    Houston has done it again! I'm going to be a little controversial here, but why is the food so much…read morebetter here than it is it Dallas? Had a 5:30pm resy, seated outside right away that Saturday evening--it was a full house 45 minutes later. You'd be a fool to skip the dilly bread--a complete fool! The rolls are pillowy and warm. I could eat the butter by the pint. The fingerlinging potato dish is also a must have...pretty small for $19 but tastes like heaven. Spicy! Zaddy was being a bit of a clutz that evening and knocked over my $20 mezcal cocktail, so what does he do? Orders me another one! (That's why he's "zaddy") ....kind of wish he hadn't...so wasn't worth the price tag. Skip it. The chicken dinner was definitely the winner--fresh, juicy breast, crispy skin...don't be cute, you won't finish it unless your party has at least 4 in it! The flies were ruthless! Very annoying! They were acting like the geekers that come bother you just outside your favorite fried chicken joint in south Dallas! Our waitress brought out a table fan so that made the experience a little more tolerable. The chocolate peanut butter pie tasted like a salt rock and the lemon chiffon pie had great flavor but not lemony enough for me. All in all this place is a bit pricey but truly a gem! Until next time, Nobie!

    I am still recovering from yesterday's dinner. First time going to a Portuguese restaurant and it…read moreexceeded my expectations! It was busier than usual on a Wednesday night because Portugal just played for the World Cup in Houston! Such a special moment and some Portuguese fans were also at the restaurant. This restaurant does crank up the AC to the max so make sure to bring a sweater if you get cold easily. We ordered the paella, beef skewers, fish, croquetas de bacalhau, polvo com batatas, and pao com tomato. All of this food was more than enough for four people. Our server was kind to show us which one he recommended and the food was well spaced out. My personal favorite was the paella and the polvo com batatas (grilled octopus with potatoes).

    What we ordered: * Maracujá caipirinha…read more* Prego sandwich Service * We had a large party but still decent service * Drinks take a while but are very good Ambience * Dimly lit environment with tvs on * We were able to watch the world cup game They are a portuguese/indian place and combine flavors well. My prego sandwich was pretty traditional and I added an egg only complaint was I wish the egg yolk was runny. I had another experience at this restaurant on a Sunday and they were missing many ingredients (try to keep thing fresh and not frozen) which was a bit frustrating but the quality of food and service was much worse than the first time, hence the 3 star rating.
