Cachanilla Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Pomona

Saw this place on Yelp when looking for a place to eat lunch while in the area. I was a bit skeptical because Chinese restaurants really can be a hit or miss. I've been to quite a few since growing up, my family and I would usually visit a few Chinese restaurants annually. As an adult, I eat at a Chinese restaurant at least once every couple of months.

I'm sorry to say, but I personally wouldn't return to this restaurant. People have different tastebuds and preferences on how they want their food to taste and Chinese food is no exception. As I mentioned earlier, I've visited quite a few Chinese restaurants over my lifetime and their seasonings/flavor of the dishes I ate just weren't doing it for me.

The Chicken Chow Mein was salty and didn't taste like chow mein, in my opinion. I can't put my finger on it, but I'm assuming their seasoning and ingredients are just really different than other Chow Mein I've eaten over the years. Their Orange Chicken also didn't really taste like Orange Chicken. Their Honey Walnut Shrimp was just weird to me. Upon trying my first bite, I immediately felt disgusted like it was sour and the flavors in the dish just didn't jive with my tastebuds. I asked and an employee told me they use lemon and mayo in their recipe which just doesn't sound appetizing to me and certainly did not make my tastebuds happy.

The 2.5/3 star rating is for the friendly and kind servers, clean restaurant appearance, and reasonable prices. Unfortunately, the food just wasn't good enough (to me) to make me want to come back if I'm ever in the area again. To each is own of course, so some may like this restaurant's version of Chinese food but it's...

We have been coming to this store for the last 6 years during Fathers day - and Eddie, their Manager/Waiter was good during those 6 years. For this year, we again reserved their group room at 11:30 amm (that requires a minimum of $400 order and usage of 2 hours) for Father's day. Upon arrival at 11:30 am, the waiters (a man and a woman) this time was SO RUDE, the woman was unwelcoming that she make us feel that were a nuisance in coming to their restaurant. When we were sitting down, the male waiter so so demanding that we sit closer together so that he would have more room to bring our food. We tried to accommodate his instructions. But then he came back and said (stressing further his point with his hand motions) that we need to order at once because he is so busy it's Father's day and that we need only to stay and be gone in 90 minutes. SO RUDE AND DUSGUSTING. I told him that we haven't been 10 minutes to their restaurant, and that the two people that we interacted with are so rude and unprofessional. We ended up leaving the premises without ordering . . . and found a better place in Central Ave to eat. We will never go back to this place anymore. To the owners. teach your staff good manners and good customer service. If we could get a ZERO review, we will. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND...

Our greeter was very friendly and our waiter was very friendly as well very pleasant the food was served quickly the portions were kind of small but the food was delicious we had tea that he was perfect the hot sauce they need to put more hot sauce on the table and different options for hot sauce other than that everything was perfect at the time we came in there was not a lot of people maybe like four tables were being served and it's a huge place and I'm trying to remember what we had we've been there a few times so this last time I don't remember what we had but it was very good I would recommend for you to go there and try it out it's just the hot sauce we eat a lot of hot sauce we eat spicy food and then they have just one option and the hot sauce at the table actually it was chilly oil paste and it was just like in a small container they should have more for people to not be asking the waiter for more we did anyways other than that it was okay I don't know what the restroom look like because we didn't use the restroom and that's it...
