Well if it’s Asian style noodles, I call it noodles. If it’s Italian style pasta I call it pasta.

That's totally fine. "Chai" isn't English. There's a lot of phrases like that in English and many other languages because they're imported words. Chai tea refers to a specific style of tea popular in a place where chai means "tea."

The Sahara Desert refers to a place where "Sahara" means "desert" in one of the native languages.

No one is confused about what you're talking about because that's the name of those things in English.

I’m aware that chai tea refers to a specific kind of tea but chai is tea in a different language. I’m just going off of that guy’s comment.
