4 years ago, this restaurant was featured on buzzfeedvideo "$11 Steak vs $306 steak" worth-it video as the low price option. The restaurant prices have increased and the meal cost ~$19. Included is cooked to order steak and eggs, a side of fried rice or potatoes or half and half, choice of toast, and a drink. There's a spicy pork chop that looked very good and I should have ordered it over the steak. It was a lot of food. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was filled with regular customers and locals.

Really awesome place. I ordered the spicy crispy pork chops with fried rice and enjoyed it. You can order up front on the counter then seat yourself. The staff was really nice and the service is super quick. The price is really fair for the serving size, too. It's definitely a good place to have hearty breakfast and lunch.

Night Manager Diego was very friendly and made the experience nice. We ordered the spicy pork chop with fried rice and an over easy egg, Uncle John's spicy and sweet chicken with fried rice. We could have used more spice on everything. The rice although a lot, lack flavor even with soy sauce, everything was still good over all AND FRESH.

Interesting little spot that serves breakfast and lunch. Entrees come with a free drink, which was a nice perk. Not a ton of seating indoors. $13 will get you a full breakfast.

This was an amazing place. They served a delicious steak, and I felt like i just ate dinner, but it was still breakfast time! The eggs had a delightful flavor and the fried rice was truly a great dish. My only problem was that it was a small restaurant and did not have a good number of seats. Other than that I loved this place. Would come back.

I found out this place because of Buzzfeed Worth It and I was super super glad I came because it was WORTH IT!
First, they are strict on making sure that if you are dining in you either have a negative covid test or are fully vaccinated. Which I like personally because if you're dining in, there is a comfort knowing the person next to you is likely not sick.
Second, the food there is really comforting and yummy. I got the spicy chicken wing egg combo with fried rice. Super super delicious and good portions of food as well.
Plus, with the meal you get a free drink! I ended up getting the taro boba and it was surprisingly very good too.
I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in LA!

I loved this place and will be coming back! The staff were so nice and kept checking on us to make sure we were doing well. The steak and eggs were amazing, the fried tofu was great! I can’t wait to try other menu items!

Influenced by Buzzfeed a few years ago. I finally made the trip from Jersey to Uncle Johns Cafe. The food lived up to its name. Affordable and delicious, cooked perfectly as asked with a very friendly and welcoming staff. This may be one of my favorite spots in LA.

Uncle John’s is a great comfort food place. Everything is absolutely delicious and they have a wide variety of options. Swing by for their seafood nights, it’s a plate you won’t regret!
