Overall:

• Cham-ya grill is more a of a fast food setting (minus the speed) thus the lower forks on pulse and customer service. With that being said I had myself a Meat Shawarma sandwich combo comes with a side of hummus and a drink. The lamb wrapped in pita bread with onion, tomato, pickle and the tahini sauce was tasty. Dipp it in the hummus FORKtacular! I grabbed an order of Baklava for dessert Yumm. I would definetely say give your FORK a try at Cham-Ya grill! C Con Carne

• The "Deli" holds many rad memories of my high metabolized youth. Even though the model train no longer runs along the crown of the walls I can still see the locomotive make it's way around before my order up. I am proud to say I have had every Dish on the menu and most everything on it is FORKin' Tasty. Today I chose one of my favorite combos... the Cajun Chicken Sandwich w/provolone and an order of their bomb dig macaroni salad. If you find yourself in Rancho Cucamonga and have craving for a deli Sandwich, then FORKin' make your way to the "Deli" you won't be disappointed!!! And bring cash because they don't accept plastic.

Even though my mouth was on fire, it was still delish, as just about anything on the menu is at Mix Bowl. This is great dish for you vegitarians out there too just asked for it without the shrimpies!

• Me and Sashimi P decided took fork it up mediteranean style and met up at Aladdin Jr. This place has cafe type setting with some eastern music that makes forget your in Pomona. We both decided to go all out with the all you can eat lunch buffet. Starting with Kebbey Makleyye and Cheese Fatayer these are FORKtabulous allthough you dont need one! Next up to bat some Chicken Kabob with a yogurt sauce and a mediteranean salad for me both of which were off the FORK and down my gullet before Sashimi P could asked me how it was! When your done eating you can have a look at the many art galleries around or hit up the hookka bar. I would definetely recommend FORKin Aladdin Jr. I plan to visit again for dinner and belly dancing! C Con Carne

Sashimi P

• Well said C Con Carne, although I do recall killin' two plates before your one. I must say my second plate was all Chicken Kabob, Rice, and the greens (which is not on the everyday menu). With that said, I FORKin' Recommend the Kabob & Rice. I can't wait to try other dishes on the Aladdin Jr. Menu. Sashimi P

• It was another cold day in the IE, so my bones were in need of some soup, my mind was set on a noodle house and behold... #1 Phở Noodle & Grill. I normally go straight for the Rare Beef Phở - like the devil in St. Petersburg I saw it was a time for change... I went for a seafood and rice noodles. I do indulge myself in seafood, with that said I was a little disappointed to see imitation crab. Nonetheless, the Phở was amazing especially with the typical garnishes (cilantro, basil, lime, bean sprouts, and onions) dumped in. I recommend sticking your FORKin' chop sticks here. Sashimi P.

• The first impression of Ramano's reminded me of my travels to Chicago, it wreaked of Authenticity!!! I will admit I am a fan of thin New York, fold it up, style pizza, but I have been known to indulge in a Good Pie. The menu definitely rang out "Chi Town". With that said, I could not resist a "Chicago's Famous Stuffed Pizza". I also opted for an order of Bruschetta ignoring my instincts, an excellent choice BTW, which I highly recommend. The Pie was AMAZING, Ramano's Combo, I FORKin' recommend the this Pie. Sashimi P.

• The first impression of PASTA de WARAKU was the smell of sauteed garlic from the parking lot, FORK Yeah!!! I love both Japanese and Italian, so I was intrigued by the genre. The menu had a wide array of choices and made it hard to chose. So I opted for the pick 2 Lunch Special (Under $10) and the Calamari to start. Of the two entrees I selected (Chicken & Mushroom in Wafu Sauce and the Fried Rice w/Prawn Pilaf ) I recommend the Fried Rice w/Prawn Pilaf. NOTE: This is a Cafe Style Joint, ask for the bill when your done. Sashimi P.

C Con Carne

• When SP first told me about a japanese infused pasta place I thought to myself FORKin awesome! Arriving at PASTA de WARAKU and seeing everything they serve plated on the walls as part of the decor was kind of neat. The menu definetly has a very wide array of choices from simple to kind of exotic. I also opted for the pick 2 lunch special and Calamari to start. My two entrees were neopolitan noodles and chicken curry w/rice. With a tomato based sauce and the sausage and red bell pepper The Neopolitan noodles is definetely recommended. C Con Carne.
