Why Choose Uncle Cha Fusion Cafe
Uncle Cha takes the Hong Kong café playbook (baked rice, sizzling plates, milk tea) and mixes in Japanese, Thai and Korean dishes. These are the plates that show both sides of the menu best.
Uncle's Hand-Cut Curry Pork Chop Rice
$20.95The dish with the restaurant's name on it: hand-cut pork chop in curry with a fluffy omelette over rice. A good first order if you only try one thing.
Ultimate Cheesy Tamago Bowl with Eel & Beef
$22.95The most indulgent bowl on the menu, with grilled eel and beef under melted cheese. It is one of the items featured on the restaurant's delivery menu.
HK-Style Baked Pork Chop Rice with Tomato Sauce
$17.95The classic Hong Kong café dish: pork chop and rice baked under tomato sauce and cheese. Order this one to compare Uncle Cha with traditional cha chaan teng cooking.
HK-Style Sizzling Satay Beef Fried Instant Noodles
$17.95Satay beef and instant noodles served on a hot iron plate. It arrives still sizzling, so give it a minute.
Peanut Butter & Pork Floss French Toast
$9.95Hong Kong-style French toast is fried golden and finished with condensed milk. This version adds peanut butter and savory pork floss. Easy to share as a dessert.
Hong Kong-Style Yuanyang
$5.50Coffee and black milk tea in one cup, a Hong Kong café signature. If that sounds too strong, the Hong Kong-Style Milk Tea is the same price.
About Uncle Cha Fusion Cafe
Uncle Cha Fusion Cafe is a Hong Kong-style café at 408 Barber Ln in Milpitas, in the same Barber Lane shopping area as HEYTEA, Jin Gege & Yao Yao and Taishoken. It is owned by Henry Hu and Alicia Zheng, who filed for the restaurant's liquor license in September 2025, according to WhatNow. By August 2026 it had passed 200 reviews on Yelp, which is fast growth for a newcomer.
The Chinese name on the sign, 阿叔茶記, reads roughly as "Uncle's tea café." In Hong Kong, 茶記 (cha gei) is the everyday nickname for a cha chaan teng, the casual tea restaurants that grew out of Guangzhou-style snack shops in the 1940s and 1950s. The Michelin Guide describes how these cafés became known for "soy sauce Western" dishes, milk tea and yuanyang.
Uncle Cha keeps those staples and adds dishes from around Asia: Japanese omurice and donburi, Thai pad krapow, Korean kimchi beef rice and Singapore-style curry noodles. One early visitor described it as a fusion café rather than a strictly traditional one, with friendly, attentive staff. For a more classic Vietnamese menu, see Café Bích Nga.
