A classic downtown breakfast spot with very loyal local customers. Not pretentious at all, just great old school American & HK Chinese food like steak and eggs, Hong Kong style spicy pork chops, and classic American breakfast diner food. The mornings are always full of first responders, tradesmen, families, and nostalgic Asian students. I’ve been going here for nearly 20 years and I don’t think the menu has ever changed. It reminds me of the food my Filipino grandma made me growing up. The corned beef with fried rice is nothing mind-blowing but it warms my soul.

Uncle Johns is a classic downtown spot in LA. Steak, Eggs and Fried Rice are my go to. Incredible food with extremely friendly staff, and the fusion just works. Everytime I’m in LA I find myself at Uncle Johns at least twice

The steak was good! The fried rice could use a little more seasoning but paired with the steak it made a nice balance. The potatoes were good but I prefer shredded ones for hash browns and they weren’t as crispy as I thought it would be. I would come back for the steak and to try other things on the menu.

The wife and I went before leaving LA and it was super busy but the staff handled it so well and food came out quickly and was amazing!!! Came because of buzzfeed but I’d visit again and regularly because of how good it was.

The steak and eggs were amazing, very well seasoned and cooked perfectly to preference! I ate most of the food before I took this picture. Service was great. The Hong Kong iced tea was great. My bf also had the spicy pork chops, which… was also great

Can’t ask for much more. Great breakfast options with a little Asian influence. Great friendly service. Had the steak and eggs with a side of fried rice. The steak had a very good flavor. Fried rice was a nice alternative to potatoes. Will come back to try other menu items.

Excellent place to eat!!! The food here is outstanding. Would have never thought to put fried rice with an omelette but I’m glad they did. We discovered it via a Google search as we were staying near by.

Just want to shout out the daily $8 lunch box deal! The current offering for Saturday is pork belly with quail eggs and rice with pickled vegetables, and it is SO delicious and you get so much food. Really incredible value.
