The wait might be long at peak times but it was 100% worth it! The staff were efficient and friendly despite being busy. Seafood spaghetti bake: Full of creamy goodness! The scallop and squid were chewy in a good way and not overcooked. The cheese pull was a nice touch. Unagi omurice: Unagi was very soft and flavorful. The egg was smooth, not too runny. They gave a heaping amount of rice which was a bit too much imo. Chicken and pork cutlet pineapple bun: This was a wonderful mix of sweet and salty. There was a good ratio of protein to bun and the sauce reminded me of a milder version of thousand island dressing. Milk lava french toast: I was surprised to find the milk spill over the toast slice once you cut into it. It was not too sweet, yet quite delectable in mild chocolate and milky flavor. Considering how busy they were, the staff remained attentive and kind. They were nice to mention to eat the french toast quickly before it becomes stale. read more

Waited about 30 minutes on a Saturday at 7pm for a table which I don't think was too bad. 1. Grass jelly mega ball milk tea 5/5 This was a really fun drink and the tea flavor is really strong. Note that the "boba" ball is actually grass jelly 2. Pistachio cream coconut water 4/5 Decent drink but didn't think it was super special 3. Salted egg yok fried chicken wings 3.5/5 This just tasted like a fried chicken wing that they covered with salted egg yolk sauce...wish it had more salted egg yolk flavor. 4. HK-style baked cheesy pork chop rice with tomato sauce 5/5 Our favorite item! 5. Chicken and pork cutlet pineapple bun 4.5/5 The pineapple bun was a little bit dry but I really liked the sweet mayo sauce they used. 6. HK-style sizzling satay beef fried instant noodles 4/5 The beef was tender but there didn't seem to be a lot of noodles. The noodles were also a bit soggy but had good flavor. I would definitely come by again but only if the wait time is under 15 minutes. The food is tasty and at a good price but definitely not worth the long wait times when there are so many other good options in the same plaza! read more

I saw this spot on Yelp and immediately came that week to try it. We were about 12th in line and waited approximately 40 minutes - honestly it was not a bad wait. The plaza has a lot of different restaurants and bakeries, so it's easy to go pop by different stores and grab a boba while you wait. While we were waiting for our turn, one of the staff members was very kind and checked where we were in the line. After confirming that the previous party member wasn't present, he promptly seated us. You order via a QR code on the table, but the staff is very diligent, coming by frequently to check on you and refill your waters. We ordered a LOT of food, including the imitation shark fin soup, hamburger omurice, truffle fried rice, pineapple buns with chicken and pork, pineapple buns with pork floss and salted egg yolk, sizzling meat platter, and Peking ribs. The shark fin soup was surprisingly delicious considering it was imitation, and the sauce in the pineapple buns was to die for. The portions were HUGE and great value, which we noted on every dish. Very reasonably priced too considering typical Bay Area prices. I absolutely loved the baked rice as well, and intend on coming back to try their black pepper baked rice. When the Peking ribs came out, there seemed to be something wrong with the sauce, but when we mentioned it to the staff, they immediately took it away and replaced it with another dish and comped us a beer. The next dish we got was as delicious as the previous dishes, and I think the Peking ribs may have just been a small error by the staff. The ambiance was also very nice. Very clean and aesthetic. Overall, dishes are delicious, but beyond that, the service was absolutely impeccable. The manager Kyle checked on us frequently and was very kind. He had excellent professionalism and kindness with the Peking rib error, and after we paid, he also came by and got us a new bag (we had lots of leftovers) after noticing that we ripped one of the sides by accident. Kyle was extremely attentive to not only our table but all the customers, and made our experience extremely memorable and pleasant - honestly one of the best customer service experiences I've had, and a big reason why I will recommend Uncle Cha to friends and come back again. Thank you Kyle! read more

Heard about this place because of its instagramable dishes. We came here on a Saturday around 12pm and waited for 1 hour for our table. We ordered the Cheesy Tamago Bowl with Eel and Beef, HK style Baked Pork Chop over rice and Salted Egg Yolk and Pork Floss Pineapple Bun. Overall, dishes are on the smaller side and it was lacking on flavor. The baked pork chop and rice proportions are a little off there's more pork chop and sauce than rice. The tamago didn't really taste like much but the beef was good. The pineapple buns were really dry. I don't think it was worth waiting in line for as the food didn't live up to expectations. read more

This popular Hong Kong-style uncle café in Milpitas is my go‑to spot whenever the cha chaan teng cravings hit. Love their ambiance , is more modern and bright inside. I ordered their Hong Kong milk tea, sizzling instant noodles with beef in satay sauce, and the baked pork chop rice covered in tomato sauce and melted cheese. Added a few extras too -- Thai crispy shrimp ring, milk pudding topped with the Toy Story bear as deco, and Hong Kong-style French toast. Every dish was solid and totally satisfied the craving. A heads‑up: weekends get busy. They only have about 12 tables, so expect a wait. When you arrive, make sure to sign in at the front -- they'll call you when your table is ready. Crave cured. I'll be back. read more

Wowee! Weekend lunch wait is no joke. Two of my friends and I arrived around 11:50am on a Saturday, 20 minutes post-opening and the wait was already almost an hour. We used their tablet to sign up for the waitlist. Scan the QR code to order at the table once seated. Their decor is a cool light green & gold vibe inside. Our order: *Grass jelly mega ball milk tea *2 HK style Yuanyang coffee/tea *Hong Kong style milk puff *Curry fishball *Salted egg yolk chicken wings *HK Baked pork chop rice in tomato sauce *HK Satay beef stir fry instant noodle *Cheesy baked chicken cutlet spaghetti For a while, I thought the grass jelly balls in the milk tea were boba based on social media videos haha but that would take at least an hour to cook. Standard HK style milk tea-- not bad and good for Instagram shots. My friends liked the coffee/tea mix. We ordered too much food and took home leftovers. The beef stir fry noodle had an interesting flavor. So much cheese on the chicken and pork cutlets! One would've been enough for our group. Fishball is a staple to order when it's on the menu. Salted egg yolk chicken wings weren't overly salty so that's a win! The coating was more crumbly rather than saucy. The milk puff toast dessert reminded me of bread pudding. Not super sweet and it seems fun to cut into with all the evaporated/condensed milk flowing out. Very homey and comforting dishes. I recommend trying this place out at least once during non-peak hours, maybe after lunch on a weekday. Staff is courteous and accommodating too. read more

Went here twice and realized that I have not made a review on this amazing place. GREAT Hong Kong food- has a great selection from curry's to spaghetti. We ordered the pork katsu omurice curry, the beef spaghetti (it is on the sweeter end), pork floss pineapple buns and the phenomenal dessert toast. Never had anything like the toast- it's sooo delish and sweet! On weekends and during dinner time it gets SUPER crowded and the wait is insane so definitely make sure to plan it out before you eat here. We had the privilege of having Kyle as our server- he's super friendly and kind and gave the milk tea to us on the house. Definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for savory, Hong Kong styled cuisines. read more

The host was very great ensuing the wait time less frustrating by informing us every so often of the wait time. The food itself was upbeat and creative. We almost ordered everything in the menu and can't wait to return. The salty egg yoke was my favorite. Light and crispy, packed with the egg yoke that caramelized around the wings The sizzling beef noodles is a must too. The aromatic comes directly from the grill to your table. It's as fresh as it can be with the "wok hey". The other dishes were scrumptious too. You will not be disappointed. read more

Came on a weekday for lunch, arrived before they opened around 11:10am and noticed the line got very long by 11:20ish. Recommend coming a bit early if you don't want to wait long. Inside was clean and modern. Staff was friendly. We ordered: Iced lemon tea: not too sweet and perfectly balanced with the tea with a hint of lemon 10/10 Hot hong kong style milk tea: decent tea flavor, not too sweet but I wish it had more of the condensed milk flavor 8/10 Pineapple bun with the chicken and pork cutlet: I liked the chicken cutlet a bit more as it was more tender and juicy but the pork cutlet was pretty good too 9/10 Baked seafood rice with white sauce: this was very disappointing. It was pretty bland so I mostly tasted the cheese on top 4/10 Fried chicken with salted egg yolk: very crispy and lots of salted egg yolk flavor, very yummy 10/10 Overall: food was good except the baked seafood rice. I would come back and try their other baked rice selection read more

It's hard to believe that this location used to house the institution that was Pepper Lunch but the remodel looks beautiful! The inside is beautiful and organized in a way where it doesn't feel crowded. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We came with a party of 5 a bit earlier around 6pm and had no problem getting in, but the line formed behind us. I have nothing bad to say about the food besides the fact that it was just okay. Uncle's Omurice (although beautifully presented) was lacking in flavor and the tonkatsu pieces were good but a little tough. Dessert was pleasantly surprising. A cute duck sat upon a bed of double skim milk pudding. Refreshing, not too sweet, and the marshmallow duck was delicious too. I sampled a variety of dishes from the table and concluded I might try something different next time. The noodles were quite flavorful and aromatic! Overall, lots of potential and opportunities to try new dishes will give me more insight on the range of flavors. read more

I came here with a friend for lunch and we had a good time! We got here on a Thursday at around 1, and only had to wait 10 minutes before getting seated. Inside has lots of tables and was nicely decorated with a light green theme. The food came relatively fast, we ordered with the QR code by the side of our table. The food, however, was just fine. Flavor was lacking a bit, the baked pork chop was mostly tomato-ey, but I would love to taste more umami and sweetness. The seafood was very light, but again, needed more flavor. Overall we both had a good time though! read more

Uncle Cha is located in a plaza with many other restaurants and shops, depending on when you go parking can fill up quickly. The inside is bright and clean with ample space. The service was very quick as you just scan a QR code and order through your phone. The staff comes around often to make sure your water is filled. The unagi was not too salty and very tender with great flavor. The house special satay beef noodle was very good the satay paired well with the broth. The French toast was good and comes filled with peanut butter and a side of condensed milk to drizzle on top. It was a bit more on the sweeter side than savory read more

Came here right before they opened up for dinner. The parking lot is always packed but to my surprise we got there right in time to get parking in front of the restaurant. There was a small line outside for people to get a dinner table. Fortunately we were able to get a table right away. The staff was very friendly. The restaurant was small but everything looked really clean. They have a huge menu that you can scan a QR code from and order from your phone. Lots of options that offer different types of protein. The food came out one at a time. The food itself was very flavorful and fresh. Tasted very savory. Portion size and prices were right on. Definitely get your money's worth. The restaurant filled up quickly and there was a waitlist. However, we did not feel rushed by the staff which was great. Ill Definitely be coming back here to try some more food. read more

Typical cha cha tang. There was nothing super special about the food options. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Long wait even for a Thursday afternoon. Not great for large crowds. But i did notice that after the lunch rush around 2pm the crowd thinned out. Everything tasted fine but nothing like as like amazingly good. We would come back if we needed an asian cha cha tang fix. read more

I stopped by here on Memorial Day seven minutes before doors opened and happened to time the line right before it grew five times in size. If you're not seated in first seating, you'll definitely be waiting a few hours to get your food. Between our party, we shared a bunch of different items. Although social media has been hyping up Uncle Cha non-stop, the food fell short on multiple fronts. The item I was personally most excited about trying was the pineapple bun with pork and chicken cutlet. Like another reviewer pointed out, many in my party did not enjoy the texture of the pineapple bun. The expectation was that the pineapple bun would be soft and fluffy but it was far too crispy, and tasted almost a bit too dry, or possibly stale. The meat inside was cooked well, and I liked the honey mustard in one of the buns, but the bun itself was a miss. For the sizzling pepper beef over spaghetti, the dish was too salty, had too much cornstarch added, and was not peppery enough. With the unagi plate with tornado egg, the egg was silky, glistening, and very pretty to look at atop of the mount of rice, but there was simply not enough of it. The unagi was fine, but tasted no different than the ones you pick-up next door from the freezer section at Ranch 99 and re-heat in an oven. Lastly, for the baked pork chop, there was not enough tomato flavor in the sauce. While service was quick, attentive and efficient, the food here was honestly a bit mid and is not worth waiting hours in line for. Don't trust everything you see on social media. read more

Finally checked out Uncle Cha Fusion Cafe! I've been seeing all the hype online and hearing about the crazy lines, so I had to see what it was all about. You definitely need to get here early because the wait gets long fast. I came before they opened and was able to get seated immediately when they opened. The menu has a lot of fun, unique HK cafe-style dishes. For my own meal, the standouts were definitely the baked pork chop rice and the HK toast (the milk puff). The baked rice hit the perfect comfort food spot, and the toast was delicious. However, I also tried the pineapple bun with salted egg yolk and pork floss, and it was unfortunately pretty dry. I'd probably skip that one next time. Overall, it's a really solid spot with great flavors! That said, while the food is good, I personally wouldn't wait longer than an hour to eat here. If you can catch them on a day when the line isn't too crazy, it's definitely worth a visit! read more

Now I know why this place is so popular! Luckily we didn't have to wait too long as we came near the end of lunch service. There's a yelp waitlist and when you get to the table - you order with your phone. Very easy peasy... We started off with drinks. Middle got the Grass Jelly Mega Ball Milk Tea that she LOVED and yes - they were MEGA Grass Jelly balls. Milk tea was milk tea but the grass jelly balls really provided the extra unique flavor! I got the pistachio Latte which I will say was "eh". Nothing special just a typical pistachio latte. It was a little too sweet for me. Hubby got the Orange Iced Americano and it was SO GOOD! So refreshing and much better than the Orange Coffee drink we get from another place which won't be named as they are way closer to our house BUT if we come to Uncle Cha - definitely a must try here!! We think it's the kind of orange juice/drink they add in... Now for the main dishes. Their Backed Cheesy Chicken Chop Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce is SO GOOD!! Though my middle wished it was a little more "tomatoey" but for me it was out of the park! Chicken was thick and tender with TONS of cheese on top and the spaghetti was perfectly al dente. Also they have a lot of chicken so it's pretty filling - but MAN the chicken was SO tender! We also got the Chicken and Pork Cutlet Pineapple Buns. Their pineapple bun had a nice crunchy top - a great vehicle for the thick juicy chicken and very flavorful pork cutlet. We also got the Salted Egg Yolk Fried Chicken Wings. I LOVE anything salted egg and unfortunately this one didn't crisp up so it was really a crispy fried chicken wing. And the salted egg yolk was a bit muted. I typically love the salted egg yolk fried pumpkin at XLB and was thinking something like that but on chicken but unfortunately it was good but not a wow! We also got the Uncle Omurice with Unagi. I think next time we will order the Ultimate Cheesy Tamago Bowl with Eel & Beef. We saw another table order that and it looked amazing. Somehow the Uncle Omurice with Unagi was lacking in sauce and flavor - too much rice and not enough unagi and the egg didn't really enhance anything. Overall we loved it but think there are some hit and misses on some of the dishes but am willing to go back and try more dishes and drinks. Service as good and they're fast and cleaning table and seem to get the food out quick read more

Tried this place out for weekend dinner as it always had a lot of attention and long queues - 8 parties ahead was about a 40 minute wait but nice that you can check in at the kiosk and see your place in queue from your phone in real time. I tried their pork chop rice with tomato sauce, milk puff, and the milk tea with large boba-shaped grass jelly. While all the food was unique and well-presented, nothing stood out to me flavor-wise, just okay. Pork chop was overpowered by the tomato flavor, milk puff felt like a glorified toast rather than tasty dessert, milk tea was subpar to the tea places in the plaza. Great ambiance and visuals but food failed to impress me and did not justify such a long wait for. read more

Always a line, to cut corners, I tried DoorDash. But even when the order was placed in at 11:30, we waited till 1pm to get our food. So be warned! The food came nicely packaged! The drink sealed in tape and placed in a nice paper bag, the food was in a plastic bowl and the whole order was placed inside a plastic bag. We placed a group order but each of our order was clearly labeled with our name and items typed on tickets. We don't have to find our items from a massive amount of food like other vendors, which I'm happy with the convenience. I ordered a French Lemon Latte, it's ok. When I got the order, the brown coffee was floating at the top and the bottom was cream white. But once I poked the straw in, the white cream floats up and the drink looks murky. There's one piece of lemon at the bottom of the cup, so not very strong lemon flavor. Onto the food, the Ultimate Cheesy Tamago Bowl with Eel & Beef that I ordered was very good. Each element is neatly layered on top of each other, the take out did not mess it up. At the bottom is the white rice, then on top of the rice there are the sliced beef with sliced onions soaking in the teriyaki sauce. The second to top layer is a brick of Japanese style tomago egg and a thin layer of cheese. Lastly, there's a piece of teriyaki eel on the very top sealing off the bowl. The portion was sumptuous, and the teriyaki sauce carries the dish through. On the menu there are many other interesting items that I want to try, perhaps next time I can try their pineapple bun sandwich or the baked rice. read more

Revisit this HK style restaurant for early lunch today. Even before they open, already saw long line waiting outside! I ordered the fried instant noodle with beef over iron plate. Portion is Asian small size, and taste is just ok. My brother ordered the curry pork. The pork is way too dry and even hard to chew. However, still a good spot for quick lunch so it stay in my list.

When we arrived during Friday lunch, we had to sign up for the waitlist. The wait was 20 minutes to get a table, but luckily there were many nearby shops to browse. After we ordered, the food came out fast. The restaurant was cozy and Instagram-worthy. The server was belittling me for asking questions about the menu and later for clarifying which item the noodles paired with. The food was decent. The meatplate is my favorite because there's a lot of protein. The sausage is juicy. The spaghetti was okay because the sauce felt overwhelming. There's a lot of hype around this restaurant on social media, but the food wasn't memorable. It tasted good while I was eating but I probably wouldn't go again. read more

High quality HK cafe! We got the unagi omurice and baked pork chop over spaghetti. Unagi was so tender and the egg was so tasty over the rice. My highlight was definitely the baked pork chop! Pork chop was surprisingly very tender and juicy (which is hard to achieve for many other places). Spaghetti went perfectly with the pork and cheesy top, combining everything I love in one dish! And great portion size too Hong Kong milk tea also hit the spot, exactly what I was hoping for. Our party of 2 got seated really quickly on a Sunday night, though the restaurant was poppin the whole time we were there and felt very lively. The staff were also incredibly sweet and checked up on us often. read more

Food: flavor wise is not super traditional overall. They have some interesting flavors for the pineapple buns and French toast. I am not a big fan since I'm hoping for HK flavors, so I'd rate it a 3/5. Portion can totally be bigger and more generous. Service: order with QR code. It's a fast paced place. I feel like if they are trying to charge more than typical HK cafe, they should provide more... Ambiance: med size restaurant with modern decor. The line was really long.

Really good spot for Hong Kong cafe food but gets busy real fast! We got there a few minutes before opening and once they opened all the tables were already full with a waitlist outside. The baked chicken with white sauce and baked pork chop with red sauce were really good and flavorful! The ratio of protein to carb was good as well. The grilled eel, egg, and beef, was kind of a lot for a bowl but somehow worked together and was cohesive. The milk tea was tasty and not too sweet.

I soooo wanted to love this place, but I think the overhype on social media plus the neverending lines set the bar too high. I was hoping for a solid Hong Kong-style cafe, but the fusion part of Uncle Cha made everything a little confusing. The ambiance and service is amazing. Clean, bright, green, aesthetic. There aren't too many tables inside, and the tables are pretty close together in an effort to get more people in. There are a lot of workers always on standby to check in and make sure that you have everything you need. The food is where it fell a bit short. We ordered a variety of things, from the pineapple buns to the baked rice to rice rolls to Singapore-style curry noodles. While the food presentation was great, the taste didn't hit the same as other HK-style cafes. It wasn't terrible, but it also didn't stand out. The pineapple buns were the most disappointing -- crispy and crunchy rather than fluffy and flaky. The drinks, however, were pretty solid. Hong Kong-style milk tea was great, and the pistachio cream coconut water was a great balance of refreshing and rich. I think we're willing to give it another try if there isn't a wait. But waiting more than 40 minutes for mediocre food? Not the vibe, especially when the plaza is packed with other restaurants. read more

​Uncle Cha fills a major gap in the South Bay restaurant food scene! It's a unique fusion spot with a very cool Chinese diner vibe that stands out in a sea of traditional Taiwanese and Chinese restaurants. ​The sizzling chicken burgers were a blast to eat, and the baked rice dishes were consistently delicious. However, the real star of the show was the Chocolate French toast--easily my favorite item of the night. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving authentic Hong Kong style comfort food! read more

I came for lunch on a Saturday and the wait for a table was crazy. I highly recommend getting there at 11:30 or before to beat the wait. However, if you just wait in front of the restaurant instead of walking around the plaza, they typically seat you first. The sizzling satay beef fried instant noodle was a surprisingly good! It reference the typical noodle soup dish but this version add lots of crunchy noodle texture to it and it somehow tasted even more flavorful. The omurice and rice rolls you can't go wrong with those of course. I will always come back for the HK style milk toast. I loved how light and easy to eat it was, unlike the typical HK fresh toast that's typically dry and very sweet. The interior looks very elevated and clean which was enjoyable. I definitely will be coming back to try more dishes. read more

Uncle Cha's fusion cafe...With all the hype from social media we had to find time to try this "famous" restaurant. We decided to come on a Saturday night and put our names down at around 7PM. We were on the waitlist for about an hour then we were able to get seated. The ambiance was okay, reminded me of any other asian/hong kong cafe. You scan the QR code on your table then you start adding items to your cart and checkout when you're ready. We decided a variety of items like the curry fish balls, pineapple bunch (pork floss), fried noodles, baked pork chop, hong kong toast, and fried rice. The curry fish balls were okay and I didn't think it was anything special. The pineapple buns were interesting with the pork floss combo but I didn't really enjoy it. The fried noodles were decent but it wasn't that much. The pork chop was tasty and the rice with the sauce was good. The french toast was just fun to eat but nothing special. The fried rice though was fire! Definitely would get that again. Overall, the price was relatively cheap as each dish was like $10-$15 and we were able to take some leftovers home. read more

My friends and I came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. It was really busy, and we waited about an hour, not a big problem. We got the Seafood Spaghetti, Yang Zhou fried rice, Rice and Eel and Salted Egg Yolk Fried Chicken wings. Let's start with the good: - Rice omelet and eel was pretty good. We all liked the eel as it was flavorful and omelet was cooked right. - Yang Zhou fried rice was also pretty good and I love that the portion is big for the 3 of us. The down side: - Food came out one by one and it took a while for each dish to come out. Not a huge problem since it's pretty busy. - Seafood Spaghetti was really bland in my opinion. The creamy was there, but it was missing flavor. I usually prefer saltier food, but even my friends who eat pretty bland (no shade), they said it was really bland. This goes for the chicken wings as well. Egg yolk taste/smell was evident, but again, there's almost no noticeable seasoning. Maybe our tastebuds are different, but it was really bland for us overall and unfortunately was not worth the wait. Ambiance is nice, and it's really hard to find parking in this plaza, as always. read more

Heard that the Hong Kong cafe had long waits so I had to get this to-go. It's has the classic along with unique dishes to try. Also it's more affordable than most places. Peanut Chung fun (5/5); Perfect appetizer. The peanut was nutty and packed with flavor. Curry tonkatsu (4/5): The pork was super juicy and flavorful. The curry was comforting and seasoned perfectly. My only complaint is that the curry wasn't inside the egg to mix with the rice. That would make this dish perfect. I hope to come but to try other dishes read more

My family has been raving about Uncle Cha so I came on a Friday at 11am BEFORE opening. By the time they opened (11:30AM), there were already a line with 10+ groups. People tend to eat quickly here because by 12:30PM people were still trickling in. I do see people ordering out, so that can be an option. We were seated and ordered through their app. Service from the staff members were excellent. There is an abundance of items in the menu. We enjoyed everything. I must say this is one of the more better HK style restaurants I've had in a while. Way above average in terms of cleanliness. I do appreciate their jade green theme decor. My favorite is their HK style milk puff -- it's extremely sugary. read more

Cozy lunch/dinner restaurant spot. You order through your phone, and service speed was relatively as expected. It can get very busy during peak hours, so plan accordingly! 5/5 - Hong-Kong Style Baked Combo Pork Chop Rice in Tomato Sauce - Savory and delicious! One of the chef's recommended dishes. The pork was very tender and easy to split and eat. On top of a bed of white rice, it's a well portioned entree that is well seasoned. Nothing too spectacular with the rice, but the pork chop bake was very tasty and shines as the main component of the dish! 3.5/5 - Sizzling Fried Instant Noodle - The meat was the star of this dish, but we weren't that impressed with the noodles itself. The meat is cooked just right, though we could have preferred it a bit more tender. However, it is a cohesive dish, and if you love the instant ramen noodle taste, you will definitely be satisfied by the dish! read more

Bright, clean space with friendly, efficient service. Ordering's all done through the QR code at the table, which keeps things moving. I had the black pepper satay instant noodles on a hot plate, unagi omurice, imitation shark fin soup, milk tea with grass jelly balls, and the French toast milk puff. The milk tea was great -- strong, smooth, and the grass jelly worked really well. The satay noodles were another favorite, peppery and fun on the sizzling plate. The French toast milk puff was the other standout. The omurice was okay, just wish the egg was runnier and had a bit more of it. Overall, solid meal with a few clear hits. Menu has plenty of options, and I'd go back to try more. read more

Uncle Cha has been on our list for a while and glad we were able to get in quickly on a weekday late lunch ~1:40 pm. The space is delightful; service was fast and friendly. Pricing was reasonable. We ordered the top dishes mentioned by other Yelpers, and here's my take: - Satay beef instant noodles on a hot plate - my favorite of this meal. A simple dish that's nostalgic and tasty. - Milk stuff french toast - A fun dish and also tasty and not too sweet! I'd order again. - Milk tea with grass jelly balls - My hubby had this and he liked it! - Fake sharks fin soup - Had a good amount of ingredients but the broth itself was a bit blend for my liking; the red vinegar topping helps. - Omurice with unagi: fusion-y, yes, but rather what I expect of Japanese Omurice, it's basically an egg over white rice, with a few pieces of unagi on the side. Not my fav. Overall, it was a delightful experience and we'd visit again. read more

One of the new restaurants in McCarthy Ranch area. There are no physical menus, use the QR code. The menu is Asian Fusion. Decent options and price is on point. The food didn't take long to come out. I got the sizzling satay beef which was flavorful and the hot pan kept some of the noodles crispy. Interior is small but nicely decorated with various shade of green. Staff was attentive as well. read more

Uncle Cha Fusion Cafe - Sizzling satay beef - Asian Fusion Near Me - Milpitas, California

Concept is cute and vibey, but food was just decent. I loved how HK coded this place was. Service was also great! I ordered the seafood rice and shared the pineapple bun chicken sandwich. The seafood rice was truly lackluster--nothing worth noting here. But the pineapple bun chicken sandwich was bomb! It almost tasted like McDonald's Mcchicken in the best way possible HAHA curry fish balls was also a hit. Overall not sure if I'd come back again but cool to try! read more

The line finally died down so we decided to check this place out. I got the curry rice with tonkatsu, and it was super satisfying. The tonkatsu was crispy on the outside, tender inside, and not greasy at all. The curry had a really nice, rich flavor--savory with a little sweetness--and went so well with the rice. We also tried the fish balls, which were actually really good. They had that classic bouncy texture and were covered in this peanut hoisin-type sauce that was slightly sweet and really flavorful. The baked seafood spaghetti was probably one of my favorites. It came out hot with that cheesy, baked top layer, and underneath was creamy and packed with flavor. Definitely that classic HK café comfort dish. We also got a vegetable dish on the side, which was fresh and simple--nice to have something lighter with all the richer food. I think it was called snow peas? I'm not sure. Service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out pretty quickly. The vibe inside is casual and cozy--nothing fancy, but comfortable and easy to just sit down and enjoy a meal. We took some food to-go and it came in these blue fancy and sturdy to-go bags. read more
