Cha Cafe — Restaurant in El Monte

Cha Cafe is a cute and modest cafe that offers a fusion of Hispanic-Mex, Asian and Hawaiian food/drinks. They're located on a small plaza on Lower Azusa road by Arden dr street. It's interior emits a very chill and relaxing atmosphere with cali tropical pacific island flair. Indoor dining layout was spaciously organized, neat and well lit. Similarly, its decor and yellow-orange color scheme were perfectly conceived. What's impressively cool was that they have PS game 🎮 station atbthe waiting area. I came her one late Saturday morning for brunch. Their menu is composed of three categories: Comfort, Healthy and Appetizer. I ordered their healthy vegan avocado wrap with homemade chips ($8.98) and grilled chicken skewers ($6.48) and thai ice tea with boba ($5.38). Service was moderately fast. Veggie Avocado (+lettuce, tomatoes) wrap was delicious and tasty. Grilled chicken skewer was really flavorful, soft and tasty. Thai ice tea with boba was particularly good. Prices were reasonable. Staff were attentive, competent and professional. Free WiFi. Take out order is available. Ample of parking on the plaza. Overall I had a good brunch and dining experience. Will definitely come back and highly...

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 I've 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 there's pretty much something for everyone here. There's 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...

I've 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...
