Food Safety Report - California Chicken Cafe, Los Angeles California

18445 Nordhoff Street, Los Angeles, 91325 California, United States

For the second time I got food poisoning at California Chicken Cafe. I decided to give the place a second chance, thinking the first time was an isolated incident., but it happened again. Now I'll never go there again. I wouldn't recommend the place to my worst enemies. Below is the report I sent to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. The "A" you see at the front entrance doesn't mean anything. They should have got an "F."

At about 2:45 pm on July 6, 2016 I ordered a three-piece chicken meal (with leg and thigh, mashed potatoes and fruit salad) at this California Chicken Cafe location. The food wasn't as hot as usual, but I ate it anyway. This is the only food I ate this day, other than breakfast cereal and a banana earlier at my home (that I ate again yesterday and am not sick from). About 6:30 pm after leaving, I still felt the food from California Chicken Cafe in my stomach. I started to get concerned. A short time later I started vomiting. The vomiting continued on and off until about 5:00 am. I vomited about 30 times. It wasn't pleasant, so there's no need for me to go into details. I had to take off work yesterday, as I was extremely weak and ill from the whole experience.

This IS NOT THE FIRST TIME this has happened at California Chicken Cafe Northridge. Several years ago a similar incident happened to me, that I also reported to the County of Los Angeles Public Health Department. After that happened, I no longer ate at California Chicken Cafe. About a year ago I decided to give them a second chance. After this new incident, I'll never eat there again. I have only been sick after eating at California Chicken Cafe, not at other restaurants. I don't know what the problem is there, but they deserve to be shut-down. Enough is enough. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Vomiting, Weakness
