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 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

We visited Uncle Cha for Sunday lunch and quickly learned why this place is so popular. They open at 11:30 AM, but when we arrived at 11:25, there was already a long line waiting outside. We didn't make the first seating and were finally called in around 12:20 PM - nearly an hour wait, so plan accordingly! What We Ordered (party of 3): Pistachio Cream Coconut Water Hong Kong Style Milk Puff XO Sauce Stir Fried Rice Noodle Rolls Salted Egg Yolk & Pork Floss Pineapple Bun HK Style Baked Cheesy Pork Chop Rice The Standout: The Hong Kong Style Milk Puff was absolutely the star of our meal - easily our favorite item! Other Highlights: Pistachio Cream Coconut Water - Refreshing and tasty XO Sauce Stir Fried Rice Noodle Rolls - Delicious, though similar versions can be found at other Chinese restaurants HK Style Baked Cheesy Pork Chop Rice - Flavorful and unique, especially if you're a cheese lover Salted Egg Yolk & Pork Floss Pineapple Bun - Solid choice Everything we tried was good quality. The only downside is the significant wait time, but if you're craving authentic Hong Kong-style food and don't mind being patient, Uncle Cha delivers a satisfying meal. Tip: Arrive early or expect to wait! 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

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

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 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

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

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. I tried the Uncle omurice with unagi, soybean sprouts with garlic, beef pad krapow. Enjoyed all of the dishes, especially the omurice-the sauce was delicious and the egg was so soft. The grass jelly mega ball milk tea was also a fun try and felt very novel. Lots of other dishes here that looked interesting like the beef noodle soup, salt and pepper ribs, and fried rice! read more

The food we tried, chicken wings, baked pork chop with tomato sauce, rice noodle rolls with mixed sauces, omurice with unagi, hk style sizzing chicken chop were all pretty good. I finally got there without a line on a Friday night dinner. We arrived before 6PM and it was almost entirely full house. HK Style lemon ice tea was authentic but sadly no refill on ice tea. I would recommend getting the rice noodle rolls, chicken wings and baked pork chop. Service was friendly. It would definitely help if there is a remote Yelp waitlist available. This was actually my 4th attempt to eat here and I was ready to dine somewhere else next door if there is a long wait. 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

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

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

My wife and I have seen that Uncle Cha Fusion Cafe has opened up. With it being the newest restaurant in this plaza we decided to give it a try. The wait wasn't too bad and we got in pretty quickly. The inside is well lit although not particular large. We ordered the following through the QR code they had on the desk: Uncle Omurice with Tonkatsu Curry - (3 / 5) The picture looked delicious through the phone but in practice, it was well, meh... The tonkatsu was overly fried, although seasoned, overall very dry. The omurice for the most part not very tasty by itself. You really have to mix the curry for some taste. They had too small steamed broccoli that's unseasoned on the side. I was genuinely disappointed. Hong Kong-Style Sizzling Satay Beef - (3 / 5) The beef was tender, this is similar to how Chinese restaurants make them but the rest was pretty blend. The taste of satay was minimal, my wife was not a big fan of it and when I had it, I've definitely had better elsewhere. Service - (5 / 5) Our waitress was nice. She was approachable and friendly. She kept giving us refills on water which I greatly appreciate. Similar restaurants will give you a pitcher and you service yourself.... All in all, I'm not sure I'll come back. The food was just alright and I can't say I'm a big fan of it unfortunately... read more

Not bad and not great I think social media ruined and over hyped the restaurant. Portions are small for the price. Some looked better than it tastes: for example, the dessert lava toast (Hong style milk toast). It looked great! It ooozed out amazingly but the taste was missing something. It was definitely not as good as some influencers are making it seems. Iced lemon tea deserves a passing grade on my book. Strong black tea flavor with just the right amount of sweetness. When there's a HK style cafe open, my staple or control item is baked pork chop over rice and some sort of chow fun to test their wok hei (breathe of the wok). Baked pork chop was good in terms of taste. The rice was fried rice (some places have it as just plain steam rice). The sauce was tasty but lack the tomato taste. Portion was extremely small compared to other HK style restaurants. The chicken burger on sizzling plate with cheese was a bit of a let down. The concept was great and I was hoping it would be like the Japanese burger but the burger here became soggy fast. My child liked it though! My older kid wanted the omurice with the burger patty but it was "sold out" so we opted for the teriyaki beef. Honestly, to me it is just a gyudon with a side of rice and an omelette over the rice. The rice was not seasoned how a normal Japanese omurice is. It was just plain rice. The chicken and pork cutlet on pineapple bun was a disappointment. The pineapple bun was dry and crumbly. The chicken and pork are not true "cutlet". They're not battered and deep fried. They should just called it "steak" = chicken steak and pork chop because the meat were pan fry/seared instead. I thought one of the better dishes was the HK style satay beef with instant noodles. The satay taste really reminded me of Hong Kong. Beef chow fun was good. I don't have any criticism on this dish. It's got the wok hei. The beef was tender. Lastly we ordered the Singaporean vermicelli and the noodles were a bit different. They were a different type of vermicelli, a bit thicker than usual. We came on Monday (MLK holiday) we arrived at 11:08am (the restaurant opens at 11:30am) and there was already 5-6 parties ahead of us. I would wait a few more months to go by and then visit. No need to rush to visit this restaurant..not missing out yet. In the meantime go to Local cafe in fremont or HK cafe in Dublin; I find them better. read more

Uncle Cha Fusion Cafe - Pineapple bun sandwiches - Asian Fusion Near Me - Milpitas, California

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

I was excited to check out a new HK café since there aren't many around, and even fewer that are actually good. Uncle Cha was pretty busy when we arrived on a Saturday around 5:30pm. There's a tablet at the front to add yourself to the waitlist, and it ended up taking about 1.5 hours before we were seated. Service was kind of slow throughout. We ordered the seafood baked rice, Singapore-style noodles, Peking spareribs, garlic broccoli, and a few drinks. The HK milk tea was really good, though I do wish there were an option to order it without added sugar. Unfortunately, the food itself was underwhelming. Everything tasted bland, and the portions were on the smaller side. The seafood baked rice was especially disappointing because the seafood was overcooked and had that tough, rubbery texture that tasted like it had been frozen and thawed one too many times. The cutlery on our table was mismatched too, with a mix of metal utensils and plastic takeout ones, which made the dining experience feel kind of cheap. Overall, I probably won't be returning and will stick with my usual HK cafés instead. 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

[Food] - Curry Fish balls ($6.95): The curry flavor was more on the bland side and the fish balls weren't very bouncy in terms of texture. - Mini Imitation Shark Fin Soup ($5.95): This was decent, although I still feel like it could have been more flavorful. - Omurice With Unagi ($16.95): Unagi, omelette and sauce were decent. Unagi wasn't as tender as I was expecting. - HK-Style Baked Pork Chop Rice in Tomato Sauce ($15.95): I was most disappointed in this dish since it was listed under the specialty section, but tasted on the bland and sweet side than the savory flavor. [Service] - Friendly, attentive, fast - Use iPad to join waitlist and wait for their text to return to the restaurant to check-in with the waitress once your party is fully there. If you do not check-in, you may be waiting a little longer. - Use QR code at the table to order [Ambiance] - Located in Milpitas Square Plaza - Moderately-sized, clean, modernly decorated restaurant [Overall] - Arrived at 11:32am on a Wednesday and waited an hour to be seated for 2. - Saw some IG reels of this place and was super excited to try it as I haven't been able to find a go-to HK cafe around the South Bay, but unfortunately did not live up to my expectations. I really wanted to like it and was trying to find any redeeming quality in any dish I ordered. Fun to try once, but sadly I don't think I will be returning unless there's improvement. read more

I went to Uncle Cha during their soft opening and man this place was packed! Even for a Wednesday night, I had to wait around 30 minutes to be seated. Not to worry though, you can run errands and go do some grocery shopping while waiting for you seat. First impression was how friendly and attentive the staff were. They are on top of it! They checked up on us regularly and made sure my water was always filled. The food came out in a timely manner as well. I got to try many dishes and some where better than others. My favorites are: sizzling satay beef, cheesy baked salmon spaghetti, garlic pea sprouts, HK style mixed steak, and double milk pudding. Items that you should pass: Chicken & Pork Cutlet Pineapple Bun and Uncle Omurice with Tonkatsu Curry. read more

Hong Kong cafe lovers, this is for you! Uncle cha just opened and it's giving casual and affordable cha chaan teng energy with a modern twist. From crispy pineapple bun sandwiches stuffed with chicken and pork cutlets (I love that you can have 2 flavors), to sizzling meat plates. Plus, omurice with curry, and a baked pork chop rice in tomato sauce, everything hits the comfort food cravings. Also dessert, because the milk lava toast actually flows when you cut it, and the bunny double skim milk pudding is almost too cute to eat. Get a classic HK lemon iced tea to balance it all out. They are brand new so expect a wait during peak hours and weekends. I put my name down on the waitlist at 5pm and went to 99 Ranch next door and waited about 30min. Save this spot for your next group meal or HK cafe craving, it's worth the wait! 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

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

The big grass jelly milk tea here kept popping up on my instagram and I knew I had to come here and give it a try! Super yummy and actually really tasted like tea. If you get it without the grass jelly you can also adjust it to make it less sweet! Otherwise we tried out a bunch of their Hong Kong dishes! I would say overall they're pretty good but nothing too different for being a fusion cafe. The omurice was a little disappointing as the egg was a very thin layer but flavors are overall pretty good and what you'd expect Definitely make sure you get the dessert toast though! That was super yummy! We came on a Wednesday around 6pm and finding parking in the plaza was pretty easy! Still pretty busy here so you might need to put yourself on the waitlist but their turnover is pretty fast! Service is also super nice! read more

A new addition to Milpitas Square! Uncle Cha has taken over the former Pepper Lunch spot in the plaza. Uncle Cha is a Hong Kong-style café serving some classic and iconic Hong Kong dishes. My partner and I visited on a weekday evening, there was no wait, and we were seated right away. The interior is bright, clean, and welcoming. The menu is simple and easy to navigate, not overwhelming. We ordered the baked pork chop over rice with red sauce, the baked chicken chop over rice with white sauce, and the pineapple buns with chicken and pork chop. Portions are more individual-sized. The meat was tender, and the flavors were good, though nothing particularly stood out. Overall, the pricing is probably the most appealing part, everything is under $20, making it very affordable. Worth a try if you're in the area! read more

Went back and tried the Yangzhou Fried Rice and Sweet and Sour pork ribs, Rice Noodle Rolls w/ Braised Beef Brisket, and Mini French Toast. Love the Yangzhou Fried Rice. It's dry type fried rice. Not oily. Good, toasty flavor. The HK style sweet and sour pork ribs was different from other S&S pork. It's definitely sweet and sour but it tasted like it had dried plum flavor. Very crispy. The mini French toast was cubes of peanut butter sandwiches, coated and fried. Came with syrup. The rice noodles with beef brisket was also good. Meat had sweet gravy with mild five spice flavor. Very tender meat including the tendon. read more

New Hongkong Fusion style restaurant in Milpitas. We arrived 10 min before they opened and people already lined up. We didn't make it to first batch. We had to wait for about one hour to be seated. Looks like this restaurant is well known. The interior is simple with bright lighting and with 3 rows of table arrangement. The menu is comprehensive with many items to choose from. Ordering is via QR code. We ordered riceroll , stir fry on choy with fremented shrimp, Hong Kong Style sizzling pork steak with black pepper sauce, sizzling seafood udon, pineapple bun, and ice lemon tea. The service was quick and food was ready pretty quickly. The pork steak is tender and the mushroom sauce is yummy. It come with sausage and ham. The pork it self is deep fried with flour coating. It is not really sizzling. Pineapple but is good and fluffy. The udon is yummy and cooked nicely. The oncoy is good , and rice roll is yummy. I also like the lemon tea. It is not too sweet. I can say if you are looking for Hongkong street food and fusion style, you should give it a try. It has pretty complete choice of dishes. Just be ready to wait but good thing is while waiting, you can walk around the complex as so manny offering in this area. Best is to line up before it opens. Parking in this area could be a challange during lunch hour on the weekend as this complex has many restaurants and shops. read more

Longline everyday but luckily we came early and got the last table when it first opened. Let's talk about the pros -Servers are very friendly, always refill water -clean restaurant -the rice roll is good!!!!! Things I wish it would be better -bigger portion for the oven baked pork chop rice given the price -the pineapple bun top with salted egg is a very interesting idea. It tastes good and I think it would be better if the top is made with those traditional HK style pineapple bun yellow brown cripsy top instead read more
