I love urban plates! Always fresh and good quality food. Coming almost twice a week with my toddler. Food is kid friendly and healthy. Just one thing I don’t like is there isn’t a step stool for toddlers at the restroom which I have to carry my 35 pounds son every time, other than that all is great!

The food was good. The atmosphere was nice while eating on the outside patio. However, my salad was served late after reminding staff to bring it to me. Its just a small glitch in an overall good meal. I would still recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Enjoyable dinner at Urban Plates. The staff seemed to be busy elsewhere. No one at the cashier for about 5 minutes. Asked server for ranch dressing - never came back. The food was hot and tasty. The Nyjah Bowl and club sandwich and 3 sides were filling and tasty. Overall good experience, Less the staff.

We had the chicken club and steak salad. Both were quite tasty.However, the chicken sandwich was served with potato chips. In my opinion, French fries would make this a five-star rating across the board.

I rarely give out 5 stars, but this place deserves it.The food tastes so good and the prices are not bad.The steak was juicy and with flavor.Kids plates are very good and even for my wife (she has a bariatric surgery).

Food is always fresh and delicious from Urban Plates, and the service is also quick and efficient. Special thanks to Dylan for his excellent help and also one of the best cookies Ive ever had! Love the variety of the menu, from entrees to sides, to desserts and drinks - theres something for every dietary need!

My mom is super picky with food so it’s hard to find a place to eat out with her. She wants fresh & heathy. I found this place online and the pictures looked spot-on to what’s her taste. Well, the food was fantastic and I was really happy to hear her rave about her dish. We ordered the chimichurri steak, braised steak & beet salad and shared. We had never heard of this restaurant but we are now looking forward to going back. I was lucky to meet Chef Jose. Awesome people here as well. We have a new place to dine and will definitely be going back.

Great customer service!!! Everyone was helpful and friendly. They made sure my food was cooked to my specifications. When a salad is $20 it better be worth it and theirs are. Delicious fresh ingredients!

Danny efficiently took my order and had an awesome, helpful attitude. I had a very nice meal in the dining room and my server and busser had very pleasant attitudes as well. Highly recommend to come here even just by yourself for a very delicious, filling meal in a nice environment both in looks and service.

Went to this place on a Sunday afternoon with friends. And had a very good experience.Good spacing, good atmosphere would definitely go again. Steak was cooked right but just a little tuff maybe it was the slicing. Will try again.

It was excellent, healthy, nice atmosphere, can get a bit loud, but it usually nice for a casual restaurant/cafeteria style.

First visit to the restaurant. Ordered steak and mash potatoes. Meal was cold, grilled bread cold and Diet Coke was flat. Chopped salad was just ok but not truly chopped. It was a wasted $55 for lunch. Will NOT visit again.

My first time visiting Urban Plates.Local business trip in Tustin, Orange County, California.I ordered Chicken Tenders with two sides, Rustic Bread and Honey Mustard sauce.It turned out to be the best tasting meal Ive had this week.

Review №24

2022-10-13 03:02:43

The food was decent, but the service was horrible. My cup of soup didnt come until well after I finished my meal. To get a refund you have to stand in line again and then they cant even refund it right away, it gets processed by the manager at the end of the night. So my question is why couldnt the waiter just take my receipt?

My friend and I usually meet up here once a month. Pro tip: you can seat yourself and order online or on the app with the QR code on the table. We usually bring our own tumblers to fill at the water station. I am gluten-free and dairy-free and have several options to choose from.

From our first encounter with Sebastian, an enthusiastic Colombian young man to our food prepared fast and perfect, and in a clean friendly environment, it was a great first dinner here! Recommend the Morrocan Chicken and Beet Salad !

My husband and I went to the Tustin location and had the pleasure of being served by Eli. His genuine passion for being so helpful and kind made this our favorite location to dine in. I highly recommend the grass-fed steak and mash potatoes. The coconut milk mint lime drink is so refreshing! We will definitely be back for the healthy food options and Eli hospitality!

This location is a cool eclectic spot with lots of great food and friendly staff. They recently added burgers and fries to their already stellar menu and this is one of our favorite spots.

Got the food to go. It was actually really tasty. The mushrooms were by far the best I’ve ever had. The sea brass and potatoes had tons of flavor too. Can’t wait to try other dishes.

Amazing, fresh healthy food, great location, great service. I ordered the Ahi Nicoise Salad, my mother ordered the Caribbean Salad (added chicken) and our friend ordered the Portobello Sandwich.The food came out very quickly, and its delicious. Super fresh, tender and perfectly cooked meats (ahi and chicken) and tasty. Very generous portions. We came in at 1pm during the week, so peak lunch rush -- but the service was still lightning fast, really great.Leo the manager took care of us, hes such a pleasant and helpful guy. He made great recommendations for the menu, had our table bussed and cleaned immediately (we snagged a table as another party was leaving, it was busy) and got our orders served almost as soon as we sat down.Final notes: the restaurant is cute and spacious, nice covered outdoor dining area with fans (for summer) and heaters (for winter). Clean restrooms, fast and friendly staff.My new go-to lunch spot whenever Im in Tustin.

Ive not been here in a while and the entire concept has changed.... We used to walk along the glass partition, select freshly cooked foods and then pay. Now its all order at the counter and it feels like it sat under the heat lamp before it got to me.

If you love eating healthy this place has great options! They have some less healthy options as well to please everyone. It is a bit pricey but the ingredients are top quality and everyone working at this location is super sweet and helpful. Place is also clean and jazz music!

Visited recently for Sunday dinner. I had the Chimichurri Steak plate with Mashed Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts. My friend had the Grilled Salmon Salad. We both enjoyed our entrees and hope to return soon.

A perfect lunch spot with healthy eats and juices (and wines but apparently we cant do that at lunch, amirite?). When you enter, you can order from the salad counter, sandwich spot or other meats/soups. They have a lot of options and everything is made fresh. I got the portobello sandwich with chips and a green juice.

Review №41

2018-04-26 05:11:26

I just love this place - yummy, healthy options at a reasonable price! You cant go wrong with picking a salad, sandwich, plate, or any of their other delicious options. My go-to is the grass fed steak, roasted potatoes, and sauteed brussel sprouts - so good! If Im feeling like dessert Ill grab a gluten free chocolate chip cookie!I love the look and vibe at this spot and Ive always experienced great service and consistent tasty food. When Im in the area, I make it a point to stop by - you wont be disappointed. Give them a try if you havent already!

Urban Plates is always fresh tasty and delicious! Veggies,meat,poultry,fish and salsa freshly made and loads of fresh deserts too. Beverages galore,kambucha on draft and wine and beer too.FREE wifi,parking and sparkling clean restaurant makes for a great experiance!

2022-10-29 21:17:47

Do not order delivery from this place if you have dietary restrictions. I specified three times in my order no bread and once that I was gluten free as you can see from the attached image... It says so right on the slip they taped on top of my package that has bread on top of it. I now cannot eat my food as I have celiac disease and bread cant even touch what I eat. They will not take your dietary restrictions seriously even if you specify them in your order so youre better going in person or avoiding this place altogether.

Review №49

2023-09-12 17:26:44

In case you don’t look at your check, they automatically add a 3% SURCHARGE TO ALL ORDERS to cover employee health insurance and wages so the price you see isn’t accurate. This is shady and deceptive and something customers should be given the option to opt of (especially after many of their prices increased while they also lowered the plate pass perks). With the business they get they can afford to pay their employees more and cover their healthcare costs.We wont be coming here anymore since they’ve taken most of my favorites off the menu (quinoa loaf, vegetable curry, cauliflower fried rice, brocollini and roasted pepper with farro.. that is FIVE items in a short period of time). Do you notice these are all vegetarian friendly items? What’s left and what’s been added as vegetarian entrees is disappointing and basic (literally two meh salads, two basic bowls, a sandwich, vegan bisque and they just recommend building a plate of vegetables and maybe some of their bland grains LOL) so I guess they don’t care much about those of us who lean plant based.This is all while they dramatically changed their plate pass offer so it’s too expensive now for what it is. I’m better off ordering food from a nicer restaurant for these prices and just average offerings. We also tried the osso buco and it was so gross.. it tasted like plain, boiled, fatty and salty meat not like a delicious stew.If they take items out they should also add some in especially vegetarian entrees because it’s so easy to recreate a plate with just vegetables at home. It’s thoughtless to just discontinue these items with barely any alternatives and ignore a significant market.I don’t think I’m the only one who has noticed either since they’re less busy than they used to be.

One of my favorite spots for healthy food with options for vegans, and those with dietary restrictions such as gluten free and dairy free menu items. There are Dine-in & Take out options, open for lunch & dinner! My favorite lunch & dinner go-to. Prices are reasonable and as the GM mentioned, there is a 20% off plate pass we take advantage of every month for $5.

Always love this Urban Plates location on Jamboree. Great food, super tasty, and great service. I was served by ALI, DANNY, and KELLY who were above and beyond in being courteous, helpful, and professional. I really appreciated their kind demeanor and helpful guidance on the tasty menu options! A+. Also we signed up for their plate pass program and its already paid for itself. Great food, great savings. Thanks Urban Plates and thanks Ali!

This place used to be amazing. Used to get very high quality food and good size portions for reasonable price. Now the prices have gone up but the food quality, presentation and portions have gone down. If theyre not careful, theyll become the next Corner Bakery which is now out of business. Dont want to stop loving this place. Many great doning experiences.

The food was great, and the service was fast and friendly! My wife and I both had the Chimichurri steak plate (our usual). The only difference were the sides... she had the mushrooms and mashed potatoes, and I had mushrooms and Brussels sprouts. This is our go to meal!We shared the mango tart and ginseng tea today which were both good but for the money, well skip the tea next time... $5 for a small glass is just not worth it.As far as service, Carlos, our waiter was very attentive and friendly! He brought us our food, checked on us a couple of times, and cleared our table right when we were finished! He made it very pleasant and elevated the status of this Urban Plates location in Tustin.Well be back!

Ever since they changed the way you order, substantially increased the prices, decreased the items on the menu and tacked on a service charge, I stopped going here. such a shame, this place used to be great...

What can I say about this place? The food is just spectacular and Chef Jose really knows his stuff. If you want a great tasting, healthy meal...this is the place for you I recommend the chimmchuri grass fed steak. Delish!

Urban Plates is cafeteria dining with excellent food, and minimal wait times. The food ranges from 1950s American to modern ethnic fusion fare. The food quality is very good, and the prices are moderate.

Ngl my favorite part of dining in here was the free cookie. That cookie was so good and was the perfect flight snack.I didnt like the roasted carrot side (did not look, taste, or feel roasted. Maybe boiled then soaked in a lb of oil), and my bf said the Brussels side dish was under salted. The entrees, on the other hand, were great. He got the Korean inspired specialty bowl, and I got the steak salad. The steak was perfectly cooked, but I only wish there was more. I was not quite full, despite the massive pile of leaves I had with the 4-5 slices of steak.While I may not be in love with this place, Id definitely come back. I think the price and quality is great, plus a good and fun variety of foods.

Their healthy, real food is amazing when Im traveling to orange county for work. I can eat here most days for dinner and lunch for 2 weeks and not get sick of the food. Plus their plate pass is a steal. You can even order for a group and get a discount on every plate. I wish they had locations by me on the east coast. I also really appreciate how fast the food is served and how comfortable they make it to eat alone.

Review №74

2023-04-30 18:21:33

Portion size is down. Prices are up. It used to be worth it. Now I am in doubt. But quality of food is still good. They also charge 3% fee to give their employees benefits. I believe customers should not be paying for that! The company should. This is not a good excuse to charge 3% surcharge

Had an amazing experience here with Brianna who I believe is one of the managers. If you want to eat superhealthy and super delicious food, with the possibility of indulgent items on the side like delicious cakes or tarts this is the place for you. I normally don’t like chain restaurants but this one is always grade no matter what city you are in. And it’s wonderful to have a place like this as a go-to.I typically order the salmon Cesar, but the steak and chicken are delicious and I’ve tried just about every side and they are all delectable brackets (especially the mac & cheese).

Modern American menu options with something for everyone. Fast casual ordering with indoor/ outdoor seating available. Cozy and warm atmosphere even when seated outside courtesy of the abundant exterior heaters. Food is consistently a 9 out of 10 and the prices are fair.Great for families.

Cool place but very pricey for the antioxidant salad that had virtually no walnuts or blue cheese. Tabouli was delicious but very small serving. My $7.25 glass of red blend wine was great but they double charged me or charged me for a label wine. I paid $27 for seasoned lettuce, a small serving of grains and a strictly & conservatively measured glass of house red wine. Needless to say, I left hungry and went over my dinner budget for the evening. Ill claim credit for neglecting to check my receipt while I was there. I dont think Ill be back anytime soon.

Great food and great service. My favorite dish so far is the Braised Beef & Mushrooms. I enjoyed the Nyjah Bowl the last time I went, but will probably try something else next time (maybe the Moroccan Chicken Braise). My family enjoyed their Chimichurri Steak, Steak Sandwich, and Mixed Beet Salad.

I come to this location almost every weekday for my lunch break, and because of Luis I feel like part of the Urban Plates family. He’s always warm, welcoming, and able to anticipate that I might need a refill before heading back to work, or extra gravy for my chicken. Thank you so much Luis for making my experience special each and every time. And a special thank you to Haydee and Carlos, because they too are shining examples of wonderful service. See you tomorrow!Steven

Probably one of the worst service related experiences Ive had at a restaurant. For example, we asked one of the service guys for some help, he was working the meat station. We wanted to know about salad because of a food allergy, but all the response we got was salad, meat, sides complete with pointing to different parts of the line. We tried asking again, but were given the same response. Also, if youre ordering more than one type of food (a salad, sandwich, and a meat) you cant do that all in one place. You must do salad first, then the sandwich, and finally the meat. But nobody will tell you this and they get snippy when you dont know. The grass fed beef was all over the place, out of 4 plates, 3 were more chewy than tender. For the price Id expect better service and more consistent food quality.

I highly Recommend this location,I went this past weekend for the first time since the remodel and I was happy that Carlos was still there. He is kind and attentive, and just a pleasant person all around, he was talking to my two year old grandson and it was super cute! Keep up the good work Carlos! See you soon!

My husband and I shared a double cheeseburger and it was out of this world! Fantastic flavor.The service wasnt great, but I believe they had several people in training and its a very busy restaurant. The manager was very apologetic as we didnt get the drinks we ordered.I would go back there because the food is so good.

This is my first time visiting urban plate since pandemic in 2020. I have to say it is way different experience than it used to be. It’s is not longer walk thru to see the food / dishes, instead it’s fixed menu. The food is still great but I like the old business model where I can more options to choose from and sampling to see if that is what I wanted.

Our first time there, just missed the Sunday lunch rush and of the many tables available inside, we had to sit outside (cold and rainy) because every table inside was un-bussed. So be it. Got our food rather quick and the food was decent. No complaints. I needed a refill on my $3.75 soft drink and went inside - the expediter I went up to said to go wait in line.....at the register where people were ordering. I waited off to the side, had to wait for two people to order before the cashier finally offered to refill my drink. Finally got back to my wife and by this time, my steak plate was cold. Ice cold mashed potatoes and gravy. To add insult to injury, I was reading the receipt after I left my $19 meal there and read that there was a 3% surcharge added.....for their employees healthcare. Really? After spending $40 for lunch for two (only one drink) you cant pay your employees benefits? In the grand scheme of things, its $1.16....but they taxed that amount too?? It would be one thing if the staff was SUPER friendly and the place was awesome, but it wasnt. Is was disappointing at best. I contacted Urban Plates directly with this info and was responded to by the GM there in Tustin - Leo Desantiago. I was promised a refund for the issues I experiences (I asked for my meal comped) and now after he agreed..its been 7 days and no refunds. Ive asked him again and was told to wait longer. It seems like this place tries hard with the food - it was decent, but has become just another poorly managed, poorly staffed/trained facility that will go belly up here soon. Last time I will spend my money here.

Food is good but you have to save a bit of money before coming here. If you want healthy food thats not bland this is the place to go. Has an outdoor fire pit, home style food kinda, beer, wine, and sweet desserts, a Starbucks next to it if you want coffee afterwards, very inviting yet open vibe. You pay at the cashier but they serve you and take your plate, like at chick fil a but with food thats 10x better. My complaint is they need more tables because they serve good food and more& more ppl will come to love this restaurant in the future and their dining hall is pretty big. Other complaint is their self-serve water jug is small and cute. Needs to be big and cute, with option for ice water.Editing to add a complaint: their locations are minimal, there are no Urban Plates in the Palm Springs area. Either there or the heart of Palm Desert, it would be nice to have good modern home-style food in the desert, ppl would enjoy it there.

Food is great. Unfortunately, the staff is very rude! I’ve brought many friends & coworkers here because I think the food is great but there’s always a bad experience because of the staff. From the cashier to the person you pick your order up from, they are all extremely rude & seem annoyed by everyone. There should be training on customer service. This place could easily be 5 star if the right people worked here.

Had dinner tonight and overall enjoyed a great meal. Jenna and Tyler were super friendly and attentive. The flavors and portions were good and our kids ate everything really well. We ordered steak and asked for it to be cooked medium instead of rare but one of the plates was still on the rare side. It was still good and thats the only reason for docking a star. Otherwise it was a great meal and well be back.

I went to have dinner to this place and Tyler was the manager who helped to resolve a problem since the cashier and one customer took more than 20 minute to order and the line was getting very long and the cashier was chatting with the customer and did nothing to speed up the line. Tyler is definitely the manager that one of this places should have, he is always helping, speeding up the orders and I can see him running around really helping and making sure everyone gets good service. Tyler has good spirits and energy, he always makes sure that my order is right. Thank you Tyler :)

Had the Nashvillet Hot Chicken Sandwhich. 🐔 from a person who has had Howlin Rays (ChinaTown) although this does not compare, it was delicious in its out category. The sauce lathered on the chicken was spicy, tangy and smokey. The chicken was crisp and well cooked and also soft. The brioche bun was excellent. The price was reasonable, with tax and 3% gratituity, came out to $13.00 sandwich, not top bad. Also, it wasnt as filing. I didnt give the place 5 stars because, we didnt get our food until 35 minutes after ordering. It didnt appear to be as busy. I had to go up and it seemed like the forgot about my order. Once received, I had to remind them of my side dish, which they brought out shortly after.Tldr;Overall good food, slow service. Would come again.

All I can say is Plate Pass - pay 10$ a month and all your plates are 10$ (well now 11$). Seriously? Where else can you get a healthy and tasty meal for that price? Some of the McDonalds meals are now 11$. In any case I love the fact that I can get healthy food at a reasonable price. I order my food online through the app and its ready for pickup on the way home for dinner.Besides that - their steak is exceptionally good. Its always tasty and well done. Their chicken is super tasty too. Usually chicken in salads is not that great but the chicken is flavored well and very tasty in their salads. The beet salad is awesome! A huge and filling portion of beets and salad and nuts and other things. I think the only thing I did not like was the Ahi Tuna salad. The Ahi Tuna just did not have that much flavor.Now would I want to pay full price all the time? I think its still worth it for full price but I would not be going several times a week. The Plate pass membership lets us eat healthy food several times a week that is tasty and convenient to get.

Urban Plates. used to be great but recently Ive received unhealthy side dishes of chicken that I ordered. the chicken was very salty and taste like it was from 2 days ago. not fresh at all, very tough and hard to eat. this is the second time I received this type of service very disappointing of their poor quality food control. If your a person that cares about what goes into your body you might want to think twice eating here this restaurant deserves and F.Before you where Abel to see your food before you purchase to know if its fresh. they change those protocols what is a disadvantage to your health.My advice stay away.

Today I had the unique pleasure of dinner with a subscriber, this allowing me to sample some of their popular dishes. First, what an awesome deal that program. Huge savings, when you save $2-7 per plate for a nominal monthly amount (don’t know and not gonna look it up).Depending upon what you get you’ll either be stuffed or sated. After one chicken tender I was pretty full. I will say the spicy tenders are friggin’ spicy so be forewarned. If you want to try spicy, get the classic tenders and try the Habanero Mango BBQ sauce, which tastes more like ginger than BBQ, to add spicy to bites ready to endure.I also tried some of the Meatless Loaf and it was great! I used to love meatloaf but over the years my body has been telling me is a no go. Enter the meatless variety and you have a healthy, climate friendly alternative.Why just 4 stars? I cannot feel my tongue or lips after the Nashville experience and they could do well with half the spice.

I got the root beer to go with it and it was a clean meal mate!

Came in tonight right after what seemed to be a softball team,the restaurant was full and it was only Thursday. They did a really great job of getting the food out in time. Im so glad we decided to stay, we got our food in a timely manner when we had second thoughts about staying thinking we were going to wait for a really long time to get our food. I had the regular tenders (this is advertised everywhere in the restaurant), let me start of by saying I was not disappointed, I got the 6 piece and got half Nashville and half regular, I got 1 of each one of their sauces, I recommend pairing their ranch with the Nashville and honey mustard with their regular tenders. Will be coming back to try them in their sandwich form next time. 😋

The spices they use on their food is outstanding. The vegetables are fork tender and not raw which I absolutely love.

Customer service is terrible. The cashier double charged me and then said they couldn’t refund me the $58 double charge for my meal until the manager came in the next day. Three days later I call because I still haven’t been refunded and I’m on hold for 15 mins before someone comes back in the line. The lady on the phone is rude and has such a thick accent i can barely understand her. I ask for a manager but was placed back on hold! I tried for over 30 damn minutes and then as hung up on. I called back but then No one picked up. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE and TERRIBLE phone skills!

Ive never been one to write reviews but I was compelled by the extraordinary service. I visited for the first time a few days ago with my wife, and we were instantly greeted by the door. We were walked over to the cashiers where a lovely young lady named Bellen helped us out! Her happiness was contagious, when we told her it was our first time she welcomed us and explained the basics of their menu and somehow made us laugh while doing something as simple as ordering our food. We were also offered waters while we waited for our food which we thought was a nice touch. Our food was delivered to us personally by one of the employees, amazing! In addition to the food being amazing, we were able to sample some sides before deciding on our meals making them both ideal to our likings! I would absolutely recommend this restaurant!

We love this place to eat. Theyre a little pricey, but if youre willing to look past the price the food is really pretty good. Although I dont advise getting the steak. They dont use Prime Cuts and its very grainy and fatty. However if youre wanting more of vegetarian choices then this place is really good. Also there salmon is usually over-cooked. Its not as flaky as you would want it to be. Keep to the vegetarian options and you will really enjoy your food here.

Food is pretty good... when its actually served at an appropriate temperature. The problem here is simply understaffing, or awful staffing. I spent 20 minutes standing around waiting for my order to be packed into a bag. Staring at my food sitting on a counter for 20 minutes... just gets ya hangry.Maybe one person actually packing orders, and extremely slowly. The food here is majority ready-made and therefore should be no delay in getting it out like this. Really need to have 2 people minimum always on the pick up orders.Needless to say when I arrived at home, which is just a 5 min drive away, all of the food was cold. Funny thing is I was standing in line to place my order looking at the countless plates and to-go orders that were sitting around... and I was very close to leaving just from seeing that. And should have.

High quality food with very reasonable prices. Ive been here twice and got the ahi tuna each time -- delicious! Brussel sprouts are my favorite veggie and this place cooks them up just right. I need to come back again soon and explore the menu a bit more.Update!: I had to lower my rating down to two stars in light of my last two experiences. I ordered the chimichurri steak and was not impressed with it, mostly due to the fact that it was served room temperature and got cold very quickly. Recently, I ordered the ahi with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The ahi quality wasnt great, instead of actual Brussels sprouts (halved) it was just a pile of sprout leaves in a pool of oil, the mashed potatoes were a cold solid block in the carrying case, and the bread hadnt been toasted. Very disappointing.

Food was excellent but a little over priced and customer service was subpar. I ordered a beet avocado bowl and they forgot the avocado and bread that is supposed to come with it. The cashier was not very friendly either and scoffed at me for calling the juice “orange” instead of “bright yellow”. Food was very good and fresh but the portions were not worth $20 especially with the missing items.

Busy place.......and its easy to see why. The buffet/cafeteria style may be off-putting to some,but for me, thats ok. The service is friendly and helpful. The portabello mushroom sandwich was delicious and I am very picky. They make it to order. All of us enjoyed the food and the side dishes. We also got some cookies to go and they were delicious as well. Portion sizes are good and I think youre getting your moneys worth. I will definitely be back

Order to dine in. After 30 min waiting went to check were was my order. It was never placed on their system. And to add insult to injury they messed up the order. At least they gave me a refund. The only reason I stayed was cause I was meeting a friend there. Never coming back

You are not allowed to see the food now but they have pictures. Im sorry but I want to see what looks fresh and what doesnt. Do I want chicken, beef or fish and how about those sides. We walked out and wont return until we can see what we are buying.

Met friends. Sat on patio. Chairs scraping the cement was PAINFUL. So atmosphere socked, but food was very good. Menu could be tweaked to customize a bit .

Urban plates..What is happening to you?You guys put out unacceptable food..As a person who works in the food industryYour salad is always wrong...The beats are warm and you guys put it in a cold salad ???Quick tip cold food goes with cold foodI asked for extra goat cheese and didnt get any ..The amount of vinaigrette to salad is wrong. My salad was dry...I think it might be my fault as wellI always give it an extra chance and it just like my last experience.. 15 dollars for a soggy salad no thank you .Also my boyfriend got short ribs and they werent even braised right they were hard...Its sad how you guys dont listen to your customers feed back.Please fix your food !!!!!

I like a lot the beef chimichurri and the salads but the drinks and the salad dressing have to change this two need a lot improvement, traders Joe dressing need to teach them how should be done, but I love the atmosphere and the professionalism of the staff.

I come here often to order the chicken plate but this time i was craving a sandwich. i repeatedly told them i have an egg allergy and they said the gluten free bread doesn’t contain egg. so i ate the sandwich and an hour later i started to break up on hives all over my body & my face got super swollen. i was throwing up & i was having stomach problems too (diarrhea). i was so nauseous. so if you have an egg allergy be careful with their bread. And if the manager that works at the one in brea make sure your employees double check if a food has an allergen. thank God i didn’t have to go to ER but it could’ve been worse.

Love this place. Ive been going to this urban plates for quite a few years now. I can quite honestly say that it is my all time favorite restaurant in OC . The food is always fresh and delicious. The presentation along the bar top is inviting and even mesmerizing. They have plethora of salads .. The staff is friendly and helpful

This is one of my favorite restaurants. It is all served cafeteria style and takes like it came out of Grandmas kitchen. I love the chimichurri steak and hummingbird cake. Really you cant go wrong with anything on the menu.

Little pricey. Veggies, meat, salads, sides. Food is fresh, has good flavors. Was my first time trying. Had asparagus, brussel sprouts and steak. Enjoyed the meal. Fresh sliced roasted meats makes it like home made. Atkins friendly and I would guess vegetarian friendly as well.

This is a great go to place. It is fast and has high quality wholesome food. It is gourmet but casual.The concept is similar to cafeteria, as you walk up holding your tray they put the food that is prepared right on.There is typically minimal wait and there is always a place to sit either inside or outside.

My daughter who is a fussy eater loves the food here. She doesnt do burgers or cheese and the kids meal have a wide selection. She finished her steak and broccoli because of freshness, flavor, and amount. I loved it too!

I ordered the three course meal which included a salad, lemon salmon with mash potatoes and a chocolate soufflé, and my friend ordered the scallop risotto. We shared the app and dessert from the three course meal, making the portion size perfect ! Since moving to the Bay Area I have been looking for an awesome seafood place. And I am so happy I found marica on help . The salmon dish was rich with a heavy cream based sauce and extremely flavorful. Each bite was an explosion of flavors in the mouth. And it came out hot which really did add to the flavor. I would get the salmon any day. The scallops on the other hand were good but not amazing. They came out warm but not hot, I was at least expecting the risotto to be hot. And it had a hearty flavor but it wasnt amazing. Honestly pretty sure I could have made a better risotto with scallops at home. It was basic.Urban Plates

The meatless meatloaf is a great vegan option on the menu that is really yummy. I also loved the portobello mushroom sandwich, which was a really good vegetarian option.

Their online order/pickup system has a lot to improve. When arriving, they asked you to call the number on the parking lot which they never picked up. Please improve your online order system and not rely on people to pick up the phone to confirm the customers has arrived. BJ next door have a good system set up. Please learn from them and improve. My order is late for 15-20mins in the end although they do offer some drink while I am waiting which is a good gesture.

Urban plates entree prices are up, but the portion sizes have remained the same. Im guessing this is due to inflation. They advertise having ten buck meals, but caveat emptor for those dishes if youre a hungry person. The staff are kind. The selection of hot sauces at this location seems to be limited to the house brand and Cholula. The brussel sprouts were nice this time I went.

Fairly new restaurant so someone greeted us and explained the different food options. Food is served cafeteria style. I had a salad which was mixed in front of me. It was the Antioxident salad and was really tasty and plentiful. My companion had sides that looked really good. They have a kids section but I didnt see any kids there. We sat outside, and the outside seating was airy and comfortable. We visited on a Tuesday evening and there were a few people there, but it wasnt crowded, and we were able to park near the door. It was a bit hard to find from the road so be on the lookout if you try to find it.

Ordered food to go and was given a pickup time of 6:05pm. We called upon arrival and was put on hold for more than 5 minutes. We waited more than 35 minutes for the order to be delivered to our car.Since we’ve been on Covid rules for more than 4 months, this should be streamlined and perfected. Needless to say, we will not be using Urban Plates again. This was a bad experience... especially since we only ordered 2 salads.

First time there. Was looking at menu but it doesnt do it justice. Cuz when u approach to order food more food availability is right in front of u. All clean veggies and fruits. I love this place for going my first time. They cook the fish just perfectly. The combinations of everything available was awesome.

There are some good tasty options for the more health conscious eaters. My favorites are the steak and chicken plates. The Mac N Cheese is very tasty. For veggies, I really like the brussels sprouts.This is the 2nd location that opened up in Irvine like 4 years ago. Its in the Marketplace with plenty of parking around.

I absolutely love this place. The food always tastes amazing and fresh. I cook and I dont know how they consistantly get everything tasting so amazing. I wish there was one closer to my house but anytime I see one I always try to stop in. They are all consistently great tasting with happy and nice employees.

Its still a pleasant place with good food, but it seems like flavours are lacking on the most recent menu. The grass-fed steak I had looked amazing but was quote bland and dryish inside.

Newly opened location and you can tell. Its obvious the the staff here are trying to hit their stride, but they arent very unified. It took me 20 minutes to get my receipt, they took the number from our table after delivering one dish which took some work to track down out other dish, and the food came out dried out. The food is delicious but probably not worth the cost.
