About us

Uncle John’s Cafe is a family-owned American & Chinese restaurant, originally founded in 1975 as Uncle John’s Ham ‘N’ Eggs, which was located at the corner of 8th and Olive. The Ng Family has been serving breakfast and lunch to the Downtown LA community since 2000, and has since relocated, in 2010, to it’s current location, on 834 S. Grand Ave, Los Angeles, Ca 90017, on the ground floor of the Stillwell Hotel.

Though, dining at the unique, old school counter is no longer available, the new restaurant has much more seating and plenty of elbow room. Meanwhile, the menu still offers the same dishes that regulars have come to love, and many new options that you’ll grow to love. One can enjoy the traditional ham and eggs or spice things up with the famous spicy pork chops and eggs or try one of the many authentic Chinese dishes.

Come in and enjoy a delicious meal at Uncle John’s, open Monday through Friday from 6:30am to 3:00pm, and Saturdays from 7:00am to 3:00pm. The restaurant now accepts all major credit cards, but still does not offer delivery. For private parties and catering, please inquire within. Keep posted for any news and updates. Happy Eating!!
