i got the grilled pork chops & eggs both felt a little overcooked / dry it was a very filling portion though and I enjoyed the outdoor seating I’m willing to give it another try

WOW!!! Such delicious food here at this establishment. I was so happy to finally visit Uncle John’s cafe during my recent trip. I had a feast including the steak and eggs alongside hash browns and toast as well as an ice Thai tea (patrons have the option to add boba, but i personally just wanted the tea as is). Let me tell you- the chili oil they make in house is WELL worth the visit alone! The two who served me were incredibly friendly! I will be coming back once more in the future eager to try more items off of their menu.

Came here to trying their Hong Kong inspired dishes. Ordered HK style French Toast, spicy pork chop and spicy orange chicken.
Spicy pork chop was overly deep fried. The taste was okay, similar to typical pepper salted pork, but the meat was too dry and a little tough from the frying. There was chopped jalapenos on top but the pork was not spicy.
The French toast tasted similar to typical HK style, but it is also fried tofor too long that it was a solid brown instead of the normal golden tan.
The orange chicken came with fried rice somewhat met expectation even though it was also not spicy. The fried rice is rice with soy sauce stir fried.
Their prices are very decent in DTLA. For some reason, their website menu prices did not reflect the actual menu prices. In-store menu prices were much cheaper.
Service was excellent. They were quick and friendly.
Friends ordered grilled pork chop and steak and egg. Grilled pork was cooked just right with basil. The steak was tender.

Ordered the French toast with eggs and ham. The toast could have been a bit more soft. Overall, the service was great and helpful.

Steak and eggs. That's all you need to say. Worth the price. Don't expect top notch steak for the price, but this quality was perfect for the price. 10/10 go back but going to try the pork chop this time. Oh, don't sleep on the chili pepper on both the fried rice and egg. Barely can taste the spice but flavor was there.

Great food, great service, good prices, amazing housemade chili crisp.
Excellent local favorite that’s been serving up Chinese/Vietnamese American fusion for decades. Must try! The spicy pork-chops are a favorite but don’t sleep on the American classics menu (two eggs and toast with chow mein is a special kind of satisfying), the banh mi sandwiches on Vietnamese menu — and the chow mein and chop suey are tops! My recommendation is getting the kung pao chicken but substituting fried tofu for the protein. Amazing!

Spicy Pork Chops are a MUST. I’ve gone here over 50 times by now since I worked so close but man I never got tired of it. Very reasonable prices for DTLA paired with absolutely massive portions on the plate.
They also have a cheaper value menu that rotates every day but has gotten a bit pricier since they switched locations. I would choose Uncle Johns over ANY other lunch spot downtown any day.

This is a favorite spot with my work friends. Best fried pork chop and exemplary service to go with it. The atmosphere is a bit hurt by all the homeless people outside.

Incredible steak & eggs with fried rice - I scarfed it down in probably 90 seconds. Ridiculously fast service too. Also, great music playing with friendly vibes inside. Will definitely be returning soon to check out the rest of the menu.
