My boss and I both ordered food, I got a primavera wrap and he got a half chicken and salad with ranch and a side of potatoes. We both were up all night vomiting with severe stomach pain and cramping and I've had a fever and puking all day the next day | Symptoms: Fever, Nausea, Vomiting, Stomach Pain, Cramps See Less

I have reported this incident to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. Below is what I reported:

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... See More 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, Nausea, Vomiting, Weakness

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.

First, generally love CCC and eat here several times a week. On June 20, 2016, about two hours after having lunch here and eating nothing in between the symptoms started. Overwhelming nausea and cramping followed by fever; however, I somehow would not allow myself to vomit. I... See More wish I had. It's been two days of recovery and my digestive system is still very fragile to say the least. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Fever See Less

The fruit is being recalled because it has the potential... See More to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

My husband, myself and our 7 year old went here for dinner tonight. During the time we got multiple sushi rolls and appetizers. I started to complain about the heat inside the establishment and how it was making our rolls warm quickly. Because of the warm rolls... See More that tasted “off and fishy” I stopped eating but my husband continued along with our son. Now both are ill, throwing up with stomach cramps and diarrhea. I have diarrhea and stomach cramps but have not thrown up yet. I knew something wasn’t right about the taste of the sushi and how hot the restaurant was! I even was worried about food poisoning while there. Raw fish should be served cold! My poor family, I will continue to monitor through the night/early morning! | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Cramps See Less
