I've been to a lot of Chinese restaurants, and this place definitely stands out. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, spacious, and comfortable. The dining room is beautifully laid out, making it a great spot whether you're grabbing dinner with family or meeting up with friends. Our waiter was one of the highlights of the experience--friendly, hilarious, and genuinely attentive without ever feeling overbearing. Great service can make or break a meal, and he made us feel welcome from start to finish. Now for the food... absolutely delicious. The Orange Chicken had the perfect balance of crispy texture, sweet citrus flavor, and just the right amount of tang. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was cooked perfectly--crispy, tender, coated in a creamy sauce that wasn't overly sweet, with fresh candied walnuts that added the perfect crunch. Both dishes came out hot and fresh. Everything about this meal--from the service to the food to the ambiance--made for a fantastic dining experience. If you're looking for a Chinese restaurant in the Pomona area with generous portions, flavorful dishes, and outstanding hospitality, this is definitely worth a visit. I'll absolutely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend! read more

Cachanilla Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Pomona, California

Employee takes tiny ice sized tongs and picks up about 1oz of red cabbage and places it in my salad. Me: "May I have a little more cabbage please?" Employee: "that will be .75 cents." That's basically half the retail cost of an actual head of cabbage. I bet it's the actual cost wholesale. There's being cost conscious and there is being cheap and unserious about descent customer service. Here's a thought, instead of weighing the amount of greens you place in a bowl at the start of the salad build, how about weighing what the customer purchases at the end? Much better model for customer satisfaction and I bet your revenue will increase as well. Until then, stay away from these cheapskates.... read more

A friend of mine lives nearby and we visit each time we can! The food is very tasty! I'm not vegetarian but the fried tofu and the garlic green beans are fabulous. The service is always friendly and very nice. They are a lot of tables so even though we are busy regularly space for us. My friend and I areI are very chatty and so we often stay quite a long time and we never feel rushed. read more

Was craving for Chinese food and stumbled upon this restaurant for dinner. They have their own private parking lot with plenty of parking, which is a plus. The restaurant looks pretty nice on the inside. Didn't expect that from their exterior. Got seated right away, no waiting. Their menu is extensive. Please note that this is a Hong Kong style Chinese food, which I love wholeheartedly. Staffs were very friendly, made dinning here more enjoyable. We ordered the followings: - Black Pepper Beef - Sauteed Spicy String Beans - Seafood Crispy Noodles - Orange Chicken - Steam Rice All the dishes were fairly good except for the Black Pepper Beef. I think they put way too much black pepper, which made the beef tasted a bit salty. Other than that, everything else is great. Their Lunch Special Menu looks like a good deal. Will attempt to try that next time. read more

Subpar Chinese restaurant. Too salty. Don't recommend if you're used to authentic chili near food

While I enjoy Chinese food, it isn't regularly in my rotation. However, I had the pleasure of having lunch at Cachanilla with a friend after shopping Sunday afternoon. She ordered the Singapore noodles (curry flavor) and I had the salt and pepper chicken wings (crispy with dry spices that had a subtle sweetness), sharing the spicy green beans (garlicky but not spicy). Each item was delicious and service was friendly. The restaurant had patrons at various tables but we were able to enjoy our conversation. read more

Came in around opening time. It was empty, smelled good, greeted right away and the server was an older lady with a warm feeling. Ate the egg flower soup and drank Hot tea while I was inside waiting for my he food I wanted to take to my office. The beef and chow mein was excellent! Just how I remembered growing up in this neighborhood. The soup and tea were hot, flavorful and with the server making sure I ate it all. Inside is decorated well, clean and will definitely be returning. read more

He'd never had mexicali Chinese food before so we tried while visiting. Portions are huge. Service is great. Very friendly. Food and tea were piping hot. My husband had jalapeño chicken and I had Szechuan eggplant. He got hot and sour soup and it turned out a medium is enough for four. Everything tasted really fresh. read more

Came hre with two coworkers on a tuesday evenings. We ordered chicken fried rice, orange chicken, chow mein, and kung pao chicken. Everything was great. Served family style. Great food at a local spot. No wonder it' been a staple in Pomona for years read more

Horrible! Horrible! Fries rice was the worst! It tasted like grease and was very dry (almost crunchy) first and last time!

100/10 stars, this is by far the tastiest Chinese food in the area, with a beautiful interior and wonderful service. This is Mexicali style Chinese, and every single person I take here has loved it. I am obsessed with the shrimp chop suey and the honey walnut shrimp. The friend rice is also amazing. To top it off they have a cute claw machines with Pokémon , Kuromi, etc which is great for the kids. The kids also loved the revolving family style tables. Such a cute family dine in spot. I'm a huge fan and regular at this point read more

Mexicali raised and lived years eating Cachanilla Chinese food gal for life. Let me give you the honest review. Pros: walnut shrimp was 10/10! The restaurant is very well kept inside and it does remind me of the classy and look that Mexicali has all around. The beef fried rice was decent too. Lots of parking and well kept for the area I didn't see trash of homeless on site. Also the red pork meat was yummy. Cons: My mom raved about the Duck here however we ordered a half order for $40 a La carte and it wasn't crispy as she requested. We asked the waitress to please make it a little bit more Crispy she said they couldn't and told my mom no. We also ordered shrimp friend rice with beef and got no shrimp. So we kindly asked they just didn't charge us the three meat one we ordered. The waitress didn't even bother again to try and make it right. They also don't carry the cold ice tea served in Mexicali. The spicy mayo is also not available. The fish chips are also missing. The manager was very nice and kind but the waitress was dismissive and not really helpful. Tip for MANAGEMENT: Look into the service the waitress is providing it's not good and cold. I read another recent review that she was rude to long term customer. Thats a red flag don't loose long term clients for bad service. But the food is good and it gets you a closer taste of Mexicali but can never match the quality of amazing experience in a real Cachanilla restaurant. read more

This place was mediocre. Extremely overpriced for what it is. What I would call Panda Express-ish with less flavor. Service was decent until the bill came. I noticed I was charged for two hot teas. I asked about this because I ordered one hot tea, I drank most of it but more than halfway through the meal I asked for a 2nd cup. They brought it but failed to mention they were charging me for a second tea. When I asked the server about this they said they charge per cup not tea pot. Completely nonsensical. Especially because they did not ask me if I wanted more tea at any point throughout my meal. If they had I would not have argued about being charged for the second cup. But to put the onus on the customer to know what their policies are and then to argue with them is asinine. I complained about $1.90 on a total bill of $85.86 for three. It isn't about the money, it's about the principal and the argumentative waitress who was very rude. They ended up removing the second cup from my bill. But not without a lot of unpleasantness. VERDICT: Visit Panda Express and save yourself 55% of what you would spend on the same quality food. read more

I think the food is great. My wife say it's okay. I believe food is very subjective. What I like someone else might not like but normally when I think it's great and the wife says it's okay it turns out most people we know love it. I will definitely keep eating there!! I think the wife really likes it she just won't admit it!! It's definitely worth a try. read more

Never disappointed, food and service is always good and affordable especially for a big group 15-20 or small family.

Location: Located in the heart of Pomona. From the outside the place does not look like much. Many may even overlook it. If you have a chance, give them a try. You wont regret it. Ambience: Theve recently made updates to the inside. Even though its older, they added some modern touches. Plenty of seating for larger parties. Food: Food is a 5/5. Every dish we've tasted has been a hit. Lettuce wraps, filet mignon bites, egg drop soup, chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, Kung pad chicken to name a few. Food was cooked well with great flavors. Never too salty or sweet. Service: Staff are friendly, attentive, and courteous. Love the gentleman when he is the one helping because he always tells silly jokes to bring positivity in the air. read more

Great food! Loved everything. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I could have used some help making things taste spicier.

First time here recently with my wife celebrating her birthday and WOW. Just wow. Can't wait to go back. The house chow mein alone was great. We got a few other things but i have feeling you cant go wrong here, look forward to another meal here. read more

I always come here for their lunch special if I make it in time. If not, I usually get the combination chow fun, salt and pepper chicken with a side of steam white rice. Just like most Chinese restaurant I wish that it's less greasy (especially in noodle dishes and stir fry) but nonetheless the food here is good with great service. read more

Would I say this is traditional Chinese food, no but the food is still good. We ordered fried rice, wonton soup, green beans and a pork dish. The fried rice was the best dish we ordered. Super tasty. Green beans were a bit salty but good too. The wonton soup was a little salty as well. Pork had a different taste than I was expecting but was still tasty. If you're craving Chinese food in the area, this is a solid place. Service was fast and friendly. Restaurant itself is really big and really nicely decorated. read more

The food and service here is always delicious! I would recommend this place for sure!

Ordered for pick up and ordered lots of dishes that included house fried rice, chicken chow mein, beef broccoli, honey walnut shrimp, egg rolls, wonton soup, green beans (delish!), and orange chicken. Food was ready when we picked up & nice & hot when we served it at home. All dishes were good. My fav were the green beans. Service was very friendly. Restaurant looks large with plenty of seating. Would come back again. read more

Went for a pre-Christmas get together with relatives we haven't seen in years. They were visiting and were staying in the area so I had to look up a restaurant where we could all meet. I had to trust Yelp reviews on this one, which was really risky. Thankfully, the food did not disappoint! They have a big lot and you won't miss the restaurant with the big yellow sign in the corner. I called in advance to reserve a table, since we were a group of 12. We ordered from their pre-fixe menu for a party of 10 and just added a couple of additional entrees. Everyone enjoyed the food and we went home with leftovers! The wonton soup, honey walnut shrimp, salt & pepper squid, fish and pork chop were among my favorites! read more

I came back here for a special occasion where we rented out the private room for our group of 18 people. Overall it was an awesome experience. We opted for the family combination and it was perfect. The food tasted much better this time so not sure if it was because it was a different chef, but it seemed to be less salty and everyone really enjoyed their dishes. My grandpa is also usually very picky about his food but he absolutely loves this place now. I really enjoyed how the Lazy Susan was not-so-lazy and actually rotates at a slow pace so that there isn't that usual wait for someone to get something before you can get something. The night was full of fun and laughter, especially because of our awesome server Luis who made fun jokes and checked up on us all night, making us feel like family. Can't wait to come back. read more

It is kind of hard to find a good Chinese restaurant in this area. I have looked and tried a few and this one has always been the one I come back to. This is my favorite around this area. I have been here for lunch and dinner. They do offer a lunch special menu. I think it's a great value. I have tried a couple of items here. My favorite would have to be the kung pao three kinds. This is just kung pao sauce with chicken, beef, and shrimp. This dish is flavorful. Another dish I usually order when I'm sick is their wonton soup. You get some vegetables, pieces of chicken, wontons, and a nice broth. It's warm and comforting. They do offer set family dinner meals that can feed 4-5 people up to 10-12 people. The inside of the restaurant is a nice size and can accommodate a good-sized party. Overall, if you're in the area and have a hunger for some good Chinese food, try this place out. Cachanilla Chinese Restaurant is worth checking out. read more
