Canaan Chinese Cuisine — Restaurant in West Covina

Great food. Some of their dishes are the best I’ve ever had with no other Chinese place able to dethrone them, no matter the cost of the food. However, this business randomly closes on random days. It should be more professional and up to par with the standard that the food the chefs are cooking.

Prices are expensive, however you do get what you pay for here. They use legitimate no cost cutting ingredients or fillers. You can taste it, your body can feel the difference (health wise and taste wise).

They need to pay some decent web designer guru to actually make the online ordering work for both sides: provide much needed convenience and telephone call anxiety relief while giving Canaan a no risk new pathway for higher order generation and higher volume of sales. The business should also state on their website that the prices seen on Yelp, doordash etc, are inflated on top of the prices that Canaan charges. The surcharge price for a typical order is in the realm of $15-25, which is frankly semi outrageous, since the food isn’t really a low cost venture.

Also their food quality is noticeably better when their kitchen and dining room is not fully packed.

This restaurant has something truly special with its food. All they are missing is to learn how to cook and offer chow mein noodles like how Paradise Dynasty cooks them down in Costa Mesa. If they could emulate this, Canaan will be considered superior/supreme.

Also if they expanded, I can think of so many locations, that would be an instant hit for decades… they got so much potential. I hope it is fulfilled to the fullest. It would do themselves but more importantly it would also do the people of relevant surrounding communities, a great premium food service and privilege for those lucky to be nearby.

I also think they shouldn’t close on a random day of the week, but perhaps only offer super reduced services on that day they wish to close. Such as have a junior or newbie chef cover that day with openly and publicly letting customers know (be transparent, as this will be in Canaan’s benefit as customers will appreciate the honest gesture) and just provide the best sellers and a bare bones menu of options (orange beef/chicken/beef filet/chow mein but paradise style (I wish)/yang chow fried rice/Mongolian beef/broccoli beef

Oh, I also wish they would adopt my cucumber salad recipe. It is superior to theirs and it would go oh so well with their foods flavors. Feel free to reach out to me if interested (no sarcasm).

I hope this helps anyone...

Canaan Chinese Cuisine brought a delightful surprise to my taste buds. The Orange Chicken was a standout, cooked to perfection and glazed in a deliciously sweet orange sauce. It had a homemade touch that was both comforting and scrumptious.

The Kung Pao Chicken struck a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and a hint of spice, dancing delightfully on my palate. The authenticity and depth of flavor in each dish were unmistakably noticeable and highly appreciated.

The Fried Rice was the ideal accompaniment, light, flavorful, and carrying that irresistible umami that makes good fried rice truly satisfying.

Rounding off my meal was a Thai Tea, served without boba. It was the perfect sweet and creamy end to an incredible dining experience.

Having tried many Chinese restaurants and being fortunate enough to have tasted the home-cooked meals of my mom's Chinese friends, I can confidently say that Canaan Chinese Cuisine serves up some of the most authentic and flavorful Chinese dishes I've had. Their food carries a genuine, homemade quality that is hard to come by.

The name of the restaurant, Canaan, originates from a significant biblical figure. Canaan, the grandson of Noah, was known for being part of the lineage that led to the development of the Canaanite tribes. Just as Canaan left a significant imprint on history, Canaan Chinese Cuisine may leave a delightful imprint on your memory. I highly recommend this place to anyone in search of a taste of...

So I was referred by one of my good peer about this place, they said that foods are delicious... so I finally get to try and ordered a delivery, and as usual, as a spicy lover, I always love chinese food along with some chili oil... I called after I placed an order... and politely asked if I can get extra chili oil, the lady on the phone did not reply me for few secs and after, just replied "I can only give you one!" with her rude tone of voice...

wow...

I went speechless... did not expect such reply... and confuse how I ordered a 25 dollar ala.carte entree, for few others to eat and share, but they just want to give one little chili oil?? 🤣 I mean cmon, if you eat in the restaurant, the entire bowl of chili oil is sitting on the table available for customer... maybe I'm not considered one...

it's a bit ridicolous... maybe they have enough business since right now they are doing well I heard... so my business may not be worth for them...

btw, if they give me two it would be enough for me, since I just ask for little extra

but I guess I will not continue my business here, where it is not appreciated. There are other good chinese foods out there thats are much more polite and customer driven.

update: by the time the food arrived, NO chili oil at all 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

food is okay, but what if you got no appetite by the...
