Don't forget to have Urban Plates validate your parking stub. Nutritious, healthy with sensible portions. Everything here looked fresh and was delivered to our table pippin hot. Service was quick and friendly. You place your order with the cashier, you get a number and there's indoor and outdoor seating. Quick casual spot. I can tell this will be busy during Mon-Fri with office workers grabbing a quick lunch. My family and I ordered two entree plates with the seabass and two entree plates of the seared steak. The steak was a hit n miss. It was prepared to my mom & sister's liking but the meat was a bit tough to chew. My dad and I both had the seabass and we loved ours. That green sauce on top of our seabass really elevated the flavoring. Fish was not "fishy" at all and didn't even need any lemons. Extensive menu. Besides the entree plates, there's salads, bowls, wraps, burgers amongst other things. I really enjoyed Urban Plates. Thanks to my mom for finding out about this place on Facebook ads, I think. Haha

Brains require a lot of energy to function, so it's no surprise that the main Caltech dining hall…read morehas a vibrant array of delicious items to please the palate. Food: You can get pretty much anything you'd want here ranging from pizza to Mongolian BBQ. Each station has some sort of ridiculously nerdy name that adds to the dining experience. I'm going to go through all the options one by one, so bear with me: Bunsen Burner (Grill): This place serves piping hot breakfast in the morning and transitions to choice cuts of meats in the afternoon. They seriously have a butcher's delicase in the dining hall. How sweet is that? Deli Epicenter: The Epicenter is the to go place for some sandwiches. Never tried it, but the line is always ridiculous, so it must be at least decent. Salad-Fusion: The salad bar is priced at $0.39/oz. Not super impressive as the selection is fairly small, but it holds its own. Each plate comes with a baked roll. Wok Zone: This is the Mongolian BBQ station. The product that comes out of here is entirely dependent on your ability to mix the sauces correctly. Sometimes they'll randomly throw weird items into your food that you didn't want like corn. I don't know why. Maybe there are some passive aggressive employees who hate their job behind the counter. The amount of food you get is astronomical. Pizza-Byte: Super good pizza at a reasonable price with loads of crazy options to choose from like Ranch Bacon Chicken. Comfort Equation/Latin Bar: These are the two stations in the middle of the dining hall that serve the absolute best things on campus. The Latin bar frequently has tostadas with really great meat offerings. They like to serve seafood paella loaded with mussels and calimari (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/fp2H4dCbkZO52RrmFqzSVQ?select=S8Xc9TtSZsLoU5taZzN5Wg). Comfort Equation frequently has dishes like spice-crusted grilled chicken, Asian dishes, salmon, etc. You can load up on these items (some are priced by weight, some with a flat amount) and then get healthy sides like rice and steamed veggies. Bandwidth Bakery: Has baked goods... most aren't super awesome. TechTonics: This is a glorified soda fountain with coffee. The name is much more awesome than the actual station. Soup Station: It's soup. Sushi: Also self-explanatory. Cooking 101: Ok, this one is pretty special. They serve absolutely delicious pasta here, cooked to order. Some of the meats include chicken, sausage, and meatballs. You can get red, cream, or a combo of sauces. They'll often experiment with different dishes like pho on occasion. I would stay away from the pho, though. It was watery and tasted nothing like the real thing! Service: It's a dining hall so you grab what you want and pay at the front in cash, credit, or Caltech card. There's an area in the back to return your plate etc. that a lot of people forget about. Atmosphere: It's a typical dining hall experience, but at least they have pomegranates, artichokes, a large array of citrus fruits, and strawberries growing outside. I think they sometimes use those in the food. Synopsis: Pretty cool, although with the swipe card option you can easily spend over 10 bucks for lunch and not even know it.

Was in Pasadena the other day, and had not eaten yet, so decided to go by Nick's, since I had never…read morebeen, and try a few of the items that sounded tasty on the menu. Made a reservation about an hour before, so when we got there we were seated immediately. After a quick glance at the drink menu, had to get the Mai Tai with lilikoi foam on top. So delicious. Had my first lilikoi foam in Maui and I love that I'm starting to see it around Los Angeles now. Adds such a punch of flavor to an after we balanced drink. For food, we started with the bacon deviled eggs and shrimp taquitos. Those deviled eggs were lightly fried, which was different, then had apple wood smoked bacon on top, just a really tasty bite. The shrimp taquitos were also not what you would expect, nice and light but still very good. Entrees we went with the center cut fillet and the prime rib dip with swiss cheese on a brioche bun. That sandwich just melts if your mouth after dipping it in the jous, and the cheese was the perfect accompiament. The fillet was cooked perfect as well, coming out medium rare. Overall, great restaurant in Pasadena. Definitely get the Mai Tai, Devine eggs and prime rib dip. Taquitos were good and, if you're feeling like another hg er appetizer, definitely a way to go . The fillet, also great but I feel you can get it anywhere.

Nick's rigatoni absolutely blew me away. The sauce had the perfect balance of rich tomato flavor…read moreand garlic--every bite was packed with flavor without being overpowering. You can tell they really care about getting the little details right. The biggest surprise of the meal was the asparagus fries. They were unbelievably crispy, perfectly seasoned, and honestly addictive. I don't even like vegetables, but they were so good that I literally went to the grocery store the next day and bought asparagus just to try making something similar. That's how much they impressed me. I'm already looking forward to coming back because there are so many other dishes on the menu I want to try. I just wish I remembered our server's name because she was incredible. She made us feel genuinely welcomed, had fantastic recommendations, and her friendly energy made an already amazing meal even more memorable. Nick's definitely earned a spot on my list of go-to restaurants, and I can't wait for my next visit.

The first time I was at Moffett's, I tried their chicken pot pie and 3 bean salad. This second time…read moreI tried their apple pie and coleslaw. Parking is plentiful, but can get crowded on the weekends. Interior has an old fashion cafe feel to it... maybe it's the maple color benches, tables, and chairs. Staff was cordial and friendly. Pies and sides were behind the glass near the front entrance. I wanted to try their peach pie, but they ran out. I got apple pie instead. It was flaky on the outside filled with good chunks of perfectly sweet apples on the inside. Coleslaw only had finely chopped cabbage and shredded carrots in a very light and tangy dressing. Coleslaw wasn't bad, but I was expecting a bit more veggies in it. I haven't dined in as of yet. Maybe I'll do that next time to try their other specialty food items.

I work near here. To get to the cafeteria, you need an LA County badge or sign in with the security…read moredesk. It's in the middle of the building. Beautiful courtyard. Indoor and outdoor seating available. What they do make is delicious. Pasta, burgers, Mexican, chicken, salads, a salad bar. All affordable. But you may want to plan your lunch hour earlier rather than later (like 11:30). If you have your heart set for a specific menu item, you may be disappointed if you don't get there early. Some stuff runs out. If it's gone, they're not making any more. I've been disappointed to have to make a second choice in a moment's notice on two different occasions in four visits. I only have a 30-minute lunch and have little time for a cook to make something. I'm usually ordering something packed up and ready to go. This would otherwise be 4 stars, but it's 3 because they don't always have what I want.

Sometimes along the way, I find a home, like Public Works. First I had to observe and report, then I had to observe and report, now I have to observe and report. All that observing and reporting makes me hungry and this cafeteria does not disappoint. I've installed custom stainless steel stuff in this kitchen that I cut out and shaped myself! I've checked behind the fridges and coolers, this place is clean. Cafeterias, Cantinas, Chow Halls, all hold a special place in my heart (they feed me). My bosses are hiring again, why they don't promote first? I'll never entirely understand (I work so hard). I hear these candidates asserting themselves, freezing up, oscillating and bending at the waist. I want to tell them there's an obstacle course for laborer applicants, but they aren't laborer applicants because no one starts from the bottom anymore - it's romantic and old fashioned, it's quaint and rustic, it's over. For me it's the classic novel found on a shelf in the middle of the night, devoured like a piece of meat. Ground chuck, ground floor, it's the parking lot below the ground floor actually, it's the shovel and the gravel, the shot put and the post hole digger, anyways I could go on forever about what it is and what it isn't, but this cafeteria though, what they've got is a griddle where the eggs spread thin before hardening, and then the other ingredients can be wrapped inside a cozy egg blanket, and then it all gets rolled up into a tasty tortilla. There's salsa and a salad bar, there are sandwiches and snacks, coffee and juice, don't be afraid, it's only lunch.

The turkey and avocado wrap was okay 3/5 because it had barely any avocado but the fried chicken was pretty good. My daughter ordered the Mac and cheese with fries and no complaints there. This place is covered in tvs so it's perfect to watch all sports and have a drink. I'd definitely go back for drinks and try something different on the menu. I can't really speak to service since this isn't a traditional sit down spot but the worker at the counter was decent and the food runner too. Overall lively atmosphere to enjoy time with friends and family!

Stopped by to get my kid a kids meal since it's what he wanted. When a kid complains you know something's up. His burger was a mess, no taste whatsoever. Fries, not even a bit of salt. Fine we doctored them up and he ate. However, an hour later he's sick to his stomach. He's been fine all day prior to eating this meal. He was sick all afternoon and didn't want dinner. Never again! Need to update this to warn people. I ended up having to take my kid to the ER. He now has a stomach virus and has been so sick for days.
