Great variety of food, and many healthy options! My coworkers and I have been ordering lunch from Cha Cafe for the past couple months, and we absolutely love the Ssam Baps! Ssam Baps ($4.95 - $5.95) are lettuce wraps with rice, mango salsa, and your choice of avocado, chicken, carnitas, kalbi beef, shrimp, or tofu. Each order comes with two lettuce wraps packed with toppings. We also usually get the Ninja Fries ($5.95) which are zucchini fries to share. Another item that Ive recently tried are the poke nanchos ($9.95). They use crunchy wonton skin as their rendition of tortilla chips and it pairs very well with the poke. They give you a generous amount of poke in huge chunks! Their menu is extremely extensive and theres pretty much something for everyone here. Theres burgers, tacos, sandwiches, wraps, and rice entrees. Everything has a touch of Asian fushion to it and I love how you can serve yourself their special sriracha mayo sauce which compliments everything on their menu.

Ive been avoiding this place for years after a really horrible experience. Nothing I ordered there was good.. Fast forward to this week. I was pleasently surprised that I enjoyed everything! What I Ordered - Spicy Gummy Bears - HK Style Milk Tea with Boba - Pesto Chicken Wrap with Homemade Chips - Cha Cheesesteak Fries The Spicy Gummy Bears were delicious! Soft with a really good kick. Not worth the price they were charging though for the small box... It was $4 and some change. However, everything there is really overpriced for what it really it. :X I was really surprised at how the boba basically melted in my mouth. The Milk Tea itself was whatevers lol. The Pesto Chicken Wrap with Homemade Chips were delicious!! Minus the huge slices of onion. The same goes for the Cha Cheesesteak Fries. Too many onions and better with the extra sauce drizzled on it!

A bit pricey for what it is. Despite being called Cha Cafe, there is more of an emphasis on mixed fruit drinks and coffee than tea. Food options are your once-a-food-truck-turned-restaurant selection: pan-asian, mexican, and american fusion. Expect BBQ wings in your nachos. If youre in the mood for a step up from those Tea shop snacks (e.g., popcorn chicken), this is where you want to be (more fun after a few drinks!). This place is located in a strip mall, next door to a coin-laundromat. Staff can range from warm to cold in service, depending on the time of day. Their surprising social media presence and stalwart stand at the 626 night market are what most know them for.

WOW. I am so happy I came here instead of Acapulcos! You walk in and are greeted instantly and offered water. Their food menu is an amazing blend of Hawaiian and Mexican food. Plus they have food specials Monday-Saturday that are available all day! I got the Japanese pumpkin fries (Monday special), Cha Fruta, Cha mixed fruit tea, shrimp saa bap, tofu wrap, and chicken teriyaki wrap. (No, it wasnt all for me. My boyfriend came with). Everything was excellent! Wish I saved room for their dessert menu though :( Overall, excellent! Dont hesitate to come!

Very interesting and eclectic menu. Not your typical cafe food. They have burgers, tacos, skewers, poke. I got the chicken skewers which were pretty tasty. Good flavor. The portion size is pretty good considering the price. I also got a order of the chicken wings. These didnt have a whole lot of flavor but fried nicely and good with ranch sauce. Their ice coffee is very good. You cant alter the sweetness because its pre-made. I was afraid it would be too sweet, its actually just the right amount of sugar.

This place is about 3 minutes walk from my house. Its a very small restaurant, literally a hole in the wall. I must say the food is amazingly good. The price is fair. They have weekly specials. I had the pork chop and spinach pizza. The pizza crush had just the right crunch and the cheese melts in your mouth. Pork chop was cooked throughly but not dry. I would eat here everyday... lol Definitely recommended

Nice little hole-in-the-wall cafe. Looks small from the outside, but it is spacious on the inside. Nice "Asian comfort food", mix of Poke, Grills, on rice bowls, salads, etc, plus the usual slush, boba, etc. Staff is courteous. Can be loud with the tv showing sports channels and music blasting at the same time, and occasional big crowd.

nope. no no.. I really dislike this place even more, not only was their lack of selection for vegetarian but when there was it was plain and plain...no taste whatsoever! The owner always pretend he knows me and than he says the wrong thing and it just gets super awkward! I doubt ill be going back.

The food here is delicious! Very authentic Mexican & several unusual specialities. Servings are huge & servers very friendly. They serve you a small bowl of penne soup Mexican style along with the chips & salsa as soon as you sit down. We entered from the back parking & had no trouble being seated.

When they first opened up, it was a fantastic place to pick up some delicious comfort food or to meet up with friends. But as theyve continued to expand, theyve reduced their portion sizes. Im less willing to spend here unless a friend specifically requests to come here.

Great friendly staff. Great admosphere, cool art and IPads for registers! Food is awesome and imaginative. Still discovering new stuff every time I go. This place has to be in a lot of peoples top places to eat.

Absolutely wonderful food. The Top Ramen Burger is so incredible and very unique. The ninja are a must to try. They also have exceptionally great service and general environment. It is really a new favorite.

The ramen burger is alright. It was a but too salty for my taste. The cheese steak fries is a must have. It is delicious with the cha sauce! Make sure you use the cha sauce in everything!

The ramen burger is not that good, tastes like something I would throw together in my own kitchen. The drinks are good and their more snacky foods as well.

Delicious Cali mash-up food! Love the relaxing atmosphere. Environmentally conscious and free WiFi. Try the Poke Nachos and Ninja Fries, mind blowing!

Great delicious quality food, usually go there on special occasions due to the cost. Too expensive for everyday lunch.

Great fusion food, great atmosphere, good service. A bit pricey though. The shrimp wang box is my favorite here.

Interesting place to get a variation of burger and fries. I especially like the cha burger and ninja fries.
