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. Ordering is through a QR code and service was quick. read more

Came here on a weekday night, the wait finally is over. Meaning the hype is also finally over. The milk tea is pre made, doesn't taste fresh and there is not much tea flavor. I asked for light sweet, it is still pretty sweet. Is more like Taiwanese milktea, not the authentic type of Hong Kong milktea. The lemon tea is more on the sweet side as well. Not much bitterness. Don't recommend. I watched the interview from the owners they highly recommend the egg over rice, so I had high expectations. I ordered the eel with egg over rice. Is far below what I expected. The egg is not even wrapping the rice as it should. It is more like egg on top of the rice. The eel is those from supermarket package. Is not flavorful. I can make that at home. The pork chop rice is also not good..... the pork chop it self is fine. The rice is very soft, it should be more firm and most of the time hk cafe will use fried rice as a base. The rice roll, they probably microwave it. It is hard and not fresh Nothing memorable in this dinner, and I will not be back. 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. But definitely not worth to wait 30 mins if you see a long line. 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

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

I got the HK Style Mixed steak which comes with chicken and pork steaks, along with ham and a sausage. For 18$ and the amount of food that it was, it was definitely worth! It also comes with sauce and a bowl of rice on the side. There were different prepped meats like a chicken and pork katsu, regular grilled pork and chicken, and the sauce was slightly sweet and savory. There were a ton of different items on the menu that I wanted try as well. I also got the pineapple bun pork and chicken sandwich which was also pretty solid. Sweet and savory never misses! The pineapple bun was soft and there was a thousand island, almost mayo like sauce as well. It is for sure a different take on the classic HK pineapple bun with butter. I am for sure comin back to try the rest of the items. read more

Uncle Cha is an affordable cafe with a green and brown interior. Although there are lots of seating inside, it's so popular that people line up early before they even open. I ordered the Signature Stir-Fried Beef Ho Fun through the QR code located on the table. It was a large portion that I couldn't finish, so I took it home to eat later. The ho fun wasn't too oily and had a light taste. It definitely needed more flavor and sauce. The beef was fatty and soft. There was a good amount of vegetables, but too much onions in my opinion. The service was quick and efficient. Make sure to arrive early or else you'll have to wait at least 45 minutes to be seated! 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

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

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

I am genuinely shocked at some of the reviews and their reasonings behind their scoring system... Regardless, I'm happy to say my experiences were top tier and that's because my friend and I strategized and executed our plan to ensure we had great experiences every time. We dined in our second time yesterday morning. The staff was quick as per usual and so attentive. The food came out as they should in a timely manner. Yea some things may not come out perfect but the taste overall won me over. Some dishes may not have had the best presentation but I honestly think that's fine. As long as they taste good and trust me they do. I may not know the real authenticity of HK dishes, however after trying the items here even if they are fusion, it makes me excited to find out how the real real HK style cooking is. I take this as an opportunity to excite my future taste buds because the mere fact that my girl friend and I came twice, to me speaks volume. The one thing I will say food wise, the absolute banger dishes are their stir fry veggies. We had two different ones when we ordered, but WholeyMoleyyy. Rating 10/10! The HK French Toast was alsoooo super good! My fav dessert. To talk about one more dish at least, my favorite entree is their udon curry we had. Jfc, so delicious. I'm positive my friend and I will come back sometime next week since we already have plans. read more

The line was always long at this place. Thursday evening and finally no line. There's a sign in iPad at the door to get on waiting list. Inside has tables are mostly for 2 and 4. Could fit bigger party if needed. To order scan the QR code on the table. I was told there's no physical menu by previous customers. I wish they do have physical menu for people who's not tech savvy. Plenty of food on menu. Price are decent. The salty egg chicken wings were good. The milk pudding was very cute. Pink guava latte was surprisingly good. Other dishes we got was decent. It's worth to check out. Service was great. 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 love HK style food and glad there's finally one in south bay! Growing up from San Francisco, hong kong style food was a staple. Unfortunately most of the good stores closed down now but Uncle Cha is pretty good. Baked pork chop rice is one of my go to meals. Taste wise, it was delicious, however as I lifted the pork chop to reveal where the rice was, I felt that there was not enough tomato sauce to mix in with the rice. Therefore, the rice ended up being kind of bland. Rice rolls with mixed sauce was yummy! I always loved this as a snack. 10/10 perfect amount of sauce. I heard the line was quite long (1-2 hr wait) when they first opened so I ordered for take out on Friday but overall, I would order again or dine in to try their other items! I really want to try their chicken/pork cutlet pineapple bun!! 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

This is a very popular restaurant that always has a long line. The interior is small and often crowded. The service was good, and our food arrived very quickly. We ordered the Uncle Omurice Hand-Cut Tonkatsu Curry, Sizzling Satay Beef Fried Instant Noodles, Panda Cotton Candy Double Skim Milk Pudding, and Crispy Fried Sausage. The presentation of each dish was great, especially the milk pudding, which was very cute and attractive. The Omurice Hand-Cut Tonkatsu Curry looked delicious, but the pork was a bit too tough. Other than that, the curry tasted good. I liked the sizzling fried instant noodles. There was a good variety of vegetables, and the beef was very tender. The crispy fried sausage, however, was too salty and dry, making it the worst dish. We will probably come back to try other dishes since the food is decent and the prices are reasonable. read more

Uncle Cha Fusion Cafe delivers where some fusion places fall short ! A mix of Hong Kong + Japan with an Americanized twist done well We ordered the omurice with tonkatsu curry, salted egg yolk and pork floss pineapple, HK baked pork chop spaghetti and the Hong Kong milk style puff. The star of the show to me was the HK milk style puff. Although very sweet, it was deliciously paired between the condescend milk and toast especially when coming out fresh! All three entree items were delicious as well with good consistency the both times I've come here. The main problem I have is the wait. Both times I've come here, I've waited for at least an hour (even on a rainy weekday evening). The space inside isn't the biggest so expect to wait. When I've signed up on the waiting list before, it did not accurately tell me my place in line so I ended up having to wait by the door side. If Uncle Cha developed a more systematic or quicker way to have people in and out, i would definitely come here more often Service is pleasant and relatively quick to get your food out. Prices are pretty standard at an average $16 for entrees. Overall, I'll return to Uncle Cha with friends and family but will likely come on a day I'm more free due to the long line read more

I had high hopes but it was honestly disappointing. Came at 9 PM and still had to wait a bit (not an issue and did not affect my score). Wait staff was attentive and responsive First thing, I'm complaining just to complain, this has nothing to do with anything, but I don't like it when restaurants play covers of songs instead of the original song. I don't wanna listen to a cover version of a Weeknd song, why not just listen The Weeknd sing it??? That might just be the bad food experience talking though. Anyways, I ordered the sizzling satay beef with instant noodles. It definitely needed more sauce/salt because it was pretty bland and dry. It honestly felt like a chore getting through the plate and it was not enjoyable. For about $20 after tax and tip, I was pretty disappointed I'd give this dish a 5/10, perfectly mid. Other items on the menu do look good so I would go back to try other dishes, but the satay beef was not good in my opinion read more

No wait for my party of 3 on a Wednesday early evening. Order via scanning QR code. Food came out pretty quickly. We shared the grass jelly mega ball milk tea, signature sizzling cheese chicken burger, HK style baked combo chop spaghetti, chicken & pork cutlet pineapple bun, and beef udon with tomato curry. Loved the grass jelly mega ball milk tea! Milk tea is definitely on sweeter side. The signature sizzling cheese chicken burger was a skip from me, the sizzling cheese didn't add much to the dish other than the presentation. The cheese didn't really stick to the burger, and the buns ended up getting stuck to the sizzling plate, and it was overall messy. My favorite dish was probably the HK style baked combo chop spaghetti! The spaghetti was really flavorful and strong in garlic taste. Chicken & pork cutlet pineapple bun was decent but nothing too special in my opinion. Beef udon with tomato curry was solid, the udon was slippery and the dish was hearty. Overall glad I tried once. Fun experience with cool presentation. If I return, I'd like to try more of the baked dishes. read more

Was looking forward to checking this place out. I love a good Hong Kong style fusion and this hit the spot. I opted for the tomato beef curry udon, though the "tomato" flavor is pretty subtle. My husband got a beef/egg rice dish that he also enjoyed. The dessert toast with condensed milk was really good too. I think if you aren't used to ordering through QR code, you might be confused at first, since they sit you down and don't really explain. There was also a bit of a wait, so I'd recommend checking in on Yelp if you can. read more

Stopped by last weekend around 8PM on a Friday evening. I thought it wouldn't be too crowded because people were at Coachella weekend 2. We were 17th in line and started browsing for other places on Yelp. Couldn't make any decisions, but before we knew it, it was 8:40PM and we were seated. This place took over the old Pepper Lunch so it's kinda small inside. The first dish came out quick, then the rest would come out as we were done eating the previous dish. We ordered: Uncle Omurice with Tonktasu Curry: I had low expectations for this one because I saw bad reviews about the Tonktasu, but surprisingly this katsu was breaded well and very tender! I loved it! Hong Kong-Style Sizzling Satay Beef Fried Instant Noodles: Nothing special, but good enough. Bear Milky Dudu: Kind of bland but cute. Hong Kong Style Milk Puff: Looked delicious, looked super sweet, but not that sweet. Tasted decent but a fun experience. Hong Kong Style Lemon Ice Tea: refreshing Hong Kong Style Milk Tea: Ordered less sweet, that was the move, yummy! Baked porkchop Spaghetti: Nice crispy cheese layer on top, overall solid. Sizzling Cheese Chicken Burger: Just like Applebees in terms of the sizzling cheese portion. The chicken burger kind of reminded me of Carls Jr or Burger King. Braised Pork rice rolls: Kind of disappointing. Lacking in flavor and choesity. Food was decent but nothing wowed me enough to want to order it again. I'd come back, but I really want to try the Pineapple Bun sandwiches, they were sold out. Might be faster to just try to make that myself though because there's a long wait here, and I heard they sell out of those early in the day. We ordered a lot, but the total bill was only $120? I guess the portions are kinda small, but it's just right if you want to try a lot of things. Several reviews mentioned VERY GOOD service and I can agree to that! The workers were EXTREMELY kind and were always attentive. read more

I've been meaning to come here since it opened. I'm glad I finally got to try it. I came on a weekend knowing very well it would be packed during lunch time, so I decided to come for dinner. I came around 7pm on a Sunday and luckily it was just 2 parties ahead of me. The staff were patient, attentive, efficient and generous! Great service! We received our food pretty quickly. There aren't too many seating, so that explains the long wait time. My family and I ordered the following: Yangzhou Fried Rice 10/10: Great flavor and the rice was cooked perfectly Baked Cheesy Salmon Rice 8/10: Loved the creamy sauce with a generous amount of salmon. However, there was not enough rice. Hk style Baked Pork Chop over Spaghetti 10/10: Tender pork chop! I love the flavor of the sauce. It's a little sweet but someone people might not like it. Great meat to starch ratio! Grass Jelly Megaball Milk Tea 10/10: This drink looked so cute! I love the giant grass jelly balls! They made the drink fun! I love the long spoon with the tiny scoop! The milk tea was delicious as well! Sauteed A Choy with Garlic 8/10: If was crunchy and I loved the garlicky taste. My family wanted the soybean sprouts but they sold out, unfortunately. Hong Kong Style Milk Puff 11/10!! This was very aesthetic and tasted amazing! Love the cute little sign! Highly highly recommend! Panda Cotton Candy Double Skin Milk Pudding 8/10: This was very cute. The milk pudding was smooth and light but I didn't quite like the panda. It was a very chewy marshmallow with a floral taste. I wanted the Bunny pudding but they sold out. I think the downside of coming in the evening is that they might run out of certain items. They sold out of all the pineapple bun sandwiches and that was on my list to try. Perhaps, I will come on a different day for lunch! read more

Uncle Cha is one of those new hype cafes with giant grass jelly balls acting like giant boba milk teas, got the pineapple bun burgers, and some other specialty drinks that are more of a new wave, while keeping some of the basic baked dishes. As a HK style cafe, the menu is quite limited IMHO. I think it's still relatively new, or social media is doing its job, expect a long line before seating. We got there before opening and there was a line waiting to go in, we were lucky enough to be part of wave 1. Ordering is through a QR code, you can all scan and it'll go onto the same bill. I ended up ordering a black peppered brisket baked rice. It was good, a bit heavy/salty for what I was hoping for, they added more sauce than I would prefer. It was enough for two meals. I had to add extra rice with my leftovers for meal 2 just to balance out the flavors. I did order their garlic pea sprouts after seeing the neighboring table's order. It's a whole mountain full of veg on the plate. Cooked to the right tenderness, I enjoyed it more than I should, and this was a surprise for a HK style cafe. With the baked rice and the pea sprouts, I could not even think about ordering the pineapple bun burgers and too late in the day for me to try their milk tea. Maybe another time. read more

I've been curious about this spot for a while due to the lines and do think that it lives up to the hype! Joined the waitlist on a Friday at 5:30 with a party of 3, and got seated around 6:15.

Uncle Cha is a decent spot if you're craving specific HK cafe classics, but the consistency isn't quite there yet to justify a 60+ minute wait. I'd consider coming back, but only during off-peak times when I can walk right in. The Baked Pork Chop Rice and HK Style Milk Puff Toast were the best items, with the puff toast being unique from other cafe spots. The fried rice was a decent dish, but the beef fried noodles were pretty mediocre and forgettable. The Salted Egg Yolk and Pork Floss Pineapple Bun was the worst part of the meal. It tasted cold, dry, and dense and wasn't worth finishing. read more

Came here on a Monday after a hike. The wait was about 15-20 minutes for a party of 5 around lunch time. This place took over the old pepper lunch. The decoration inside is so cute and modern. Looks like their main color is green which I love so much. The service is great..friendly and attentive. The food delivered very quickly. Love love love the baked spaghetti with pork chop and the fried rice! The flavors of the spaghetti reminded me of Filipino spaghetti: sweet and savory. The pork chop was flavorful as well. Overall the food is very affordable for how much you get and satisfying. I would come back when the wait isn't too long like today. read more

Visited on Thur for late lunch, there was still a short wait for ~10 minutes, their business is so good, they need to expand their tiny restaurant. Here were the items we ordered and we love them all. HK style milk tea - smooth milk tea, taste a bit like Thai tea. grass jelly mega ball milk tea - as good as the HK milk tea, love the giant grass jelly boba, way better than the normal boba. HK style milk puff (French toast) - crispy and sweet with the lava filling. They served it too early together with other food, we should have ordered it later. Chicken & pork cutlet pineapple bun - both cutlets were flavorful and not too dry inside. We prefer the pork cutlet more. Sizzling satay beef fried instant noodles - beef was tender, good flavor. Even their business is good and very busy most of the time, their staffs were very friendly and approachable. Will surely visit again to try other menu items. read more

I came here after seeing some hype on Tiktok? I arrived at the exact opening time of 11:30am and the place was already almost packed of people? The menu is unique, it was full of food items I have never seen before? So I ordered two different burger variations. The pineapple bun was of a softer yet tasty flavor while the boiling cheese plate was more intense. I love the prices, I would even say it's the most affordable in the entire block of food chains there. 9/10 read more

Longer wait and we placed ourselves on the waitlist a bit before 6pm on a Saturday. Got seated around 645pm. We were given a two person table for our party of 3. The place is a bit small but all the staff were so friendly and nice. They were really nice to my kiddo. Your order via their QR code. The food comes out staggered so our last dish came out like 15 minutes later. Imitation crab soup- This came out first. I think they make this in a batch and just ladle some out when ordered. A good amount so shareable. Our daughter really loved this. Baked pork chop over rice- This came out next. Someone mentioned its small but it's not. Enough for one person to be really full in my opinion. My husband enjoyed it. I am not a huge baked dish person. Sizzling fried instant noodles - This was good but a bit heavy since it's instant noodles. Comes out pipping out and sizzling. The staff was so good! They placed it away from our toddler. It was a good flavor and fun to eat. I can't eat this regularly though. Macaroni soup - I noticed no one else ordered this. Came out last. I think this is a staple HK cafe dish. We've been to a handful of HK cafes in the area and this was by far the best one. The soup was light but savory. Doesn't feel heavy with msg. The Mac noodles were soft. Milk teas - we got the hot milk teas. Strong! I was up all night. Can customize the sweetness. read more

Overall a pretty good solid restaurant! We went on a Friday night for a party of 7. The wait came out to be an hour and unfortunately they couldn't seat us together so they split us into 3&4 across the entire restaurant. It is definitely not friendly for parties over 6. I saw a lot of tables for 2 or 4, but still not a lot of tables. Ambience was fun with the pastel green and it felt like I was in a well-lit casual cafe rather than fancy restaurant. It seemed like they were open to people bringing outside drinks due to the long wait. Once seated, we ordered on our phone through a QR code. I liked the fusion dish options they offered!! Pork curry omurice 4/5--the egg was presented in a pretty swirl. Curry was solid but nothing different compared to other curry dishes. It was still tasty though! Sautéd a choy 5/5-- I could eat so many of these. Was not too oily and soggy and the vegetable soaked up the flavors Servers were nice. They kept bringing over the wrong items but they weren't dismissive of our needs when we corrected them. Some people give attitude in situations like this but they were understanding. I wish I could have tried the unique pork pineapple bread, but it's hard to eat all that much in one sitting. All for the perfect excuse to come back as it looked very good when other people ordered it. read more

Uncle Cha Fusion Cafe - Asian Fusion Near Me - Milpitas, California

This place is bright and clean. Service is good and they has many waiters working at night (came for dinner). We ordered: - Curry Fish Ball: Very Good. The fish ball is "bouncy" and these are with the right texture - the good authentic fish balls. The curry sauce is decent with a kick and not too spicy. - Uncle Omurice with Unagi: Average. It's flavorful. However, the egg is a thin layer and pretty well cooked. It looks pretty and not what I expected. I had it elsewhere that the egg was thicker and softer. Also, the rice is too firm. It would be nicer if the rice is softer and fluffy. - Salted egg yolk fried chicken wings: Good. You can definitely taste the egg yolk flavor and not too salty. It's crunchy and tasty. - Stirred Fried cabbage with chili and fermented tofu sauce: Average, flavor is there but it's better if the veggies were Ong Choy. - Rice Rolls (Cheung Fun) with two kinds of sauces (Hoisin and sesame): Worse dish out of all. Tasted like microwave cheung fun and it's very dried and not soft. It's lacking the soy sauce that usually comes with cheung fun (that's not regular soy sauce). - Iced lemon tea: So-so. Very weak lemon flavor. Tea flavor is average. Sometimes there a line of people waiting outside. Please prepare to wait if you come during peak time or weekends. read more

There is usually a long wait when coming here but my family and I waited for 35ish minutes for table which wasn't too bad. Inside was a mediumish and compact but that does fit the HK vibes. Service was friendly, quick, prompt and attentative. Inside is busy but they all are like moving/flying around gracefully. The food was decent and some of the items were a hit while some was just okay. Grassjelly Mega Ball Milk Tea ($5.95): 5/5 Milk Tea is good and it had big grassjelly bobas! The boba is really good, so good that we ordered the drink again after finishing the one! HK Style Milk Tea ($4.50) - 3.5/5. Drink was good but not as good as the grassjelly boba one! Cheesy Baked Seafood Rice ($15.95) - 4/5. The baked rice had decent amount of seafood in good sizes. Rice did taste a bit mushy when we ate it at the restaurant but a day later it was fine as leftover. Chicken and Pork Cutlet Pineapple Bun ($9.95) - 3.5/5. The chicken cutlet was good and juicy. Pork cutlet was dry. The pineapple bun was sweeter than I'd expect but it was worth a try. Uncle Omurice w/Unagi ($16.95) - 4/5. Egg was cooked very well and the eel sauce complimented it with rice. Unagni was okay but there was not a lot of pieces Signature Stir-Fried Beef Ho Fun ($14.95) - 3/5 because there wasn't much wok hay and there was no beansprouts. Singapore Style Curry Noodles ($14.95) - 4/5. Family said the flavor was good and there was a lot of shrimps. read more
