    Blackened Sustainable Salmon
    Sherri W.

    This is a great place to invite 2-8 friends at a time. There is no pressure to leave after you have eaten but to just enjoy quality time w/friends or family. It has been a number of years since I last visited & now it is more automated driven. You order at the kiosk then pick a number tag. So it is pretty simple & straightforward. There were only 2 kiosk stations that I noticed so I can imagine peak hours there would be a wait to order. Order: Blackened Sustainable Salmon w/Lemon Aioli sauce- this plate came w/2 sides of your choice & I decided on quinoa plus glazed brussel sprouts. The salmon was grilled perfectly moist & the aioli added the flavor to enhance the fish. My side if quinoa was fluffy & moist as well. The brussel sprouts were soft, but I wish that it had garlic salt instead of the drizzle of sweet sauce. Despite my preferred way of having the brussel sprouts, I still enjoyed every last bite. The food, waiter/waitress/front desk servers were all warm & welcoming which made the visit that much more desirable to dine in. I'll have to visit soon!

    Ordered via their online app for pickup on Father's Day. The app is very user friendly and allows for customization of items. Items ordered: Wild Ahi Niçoise Salad- They changed their dressing from a mustard champagne vinaigrette to a balsamic basil vinaigrette. I didn't try this dressing, as I am not always a fan of balsamic dressing. Otherwise, this is one of my fav places for a fresh and delicious niçoise salad. The ahi tuna is always fresh and it is perfectly seasoned. Chimichurri steak plate- A fav of my friend's. Solid dish & good sized portion. Fresh baked chocolate chip cookie x2- These came fresh out of the oven and were perfection! The crispy edges and warm gooey cookie was amazing! Dee was so wonderful and helpful! I had ordered ahead of time but got two cookies when I saw them and she mentioned that they had just come out of the oven. She greeted me right away and asked if I needed any assistance, so I had to indulge in my sweet tooth. Thanks for the yummy meal & great service Dee!

    Grilled Grass Fed Steak Sandwich
    Hope L.

    This place is delicious! There are so many options and choices so everyone will find a favorite dish! I got the steak sandwich and the steak was perfectly medium rare. The bread was soft and chewy and I really enjoyed it!

    This is a restaurant where you have to order at the counter, get a number, you grab silverware and condiments from a counter, and your food is brought to your table. I really like the fact that there are so many healthy options here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The tables and chairs are cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is pretty good. They do a really good job of adding flavor to their food with various sauces.

    Grilled Grass Fed Steak with Yellow Basmati Rice, Slice Grilled Rustic Bread, Roasted Mushrooms W. Garlic Parmesan Butter

    Healthy food! Delicious food! Also not hecking expensive! But really, this place is awesome. Not only can you customize what you want, they have calorie counts of almost everything so people who are health conscious, this is a good place for that. Weight loss too. I was able to get steak with an extra order of steak, rice, and mushrooms and I'm well under calorie compared to other places for same type of food. My husband got a burger, a side salad, and a draft cola drink. Their drinks are made with real sugar too so none of that additive stuff. Their service is amazing too. So many convenient ways to order from take out online to take out on their kiosk to dine in through kiosk, ordering at the table or their counter. Definitely coming back when we're out this direction.

    Chicken Tender Plate & Blackened Sustainable Salmon Plate
    Brandy G.

    Wow this place is such a vibe and has amazing food! My dad and I came here for a little lunch after working out and we were blown away at how good this place is! The chicken tenders come with one of 3 options and I did the Nashville option with mushrooms and fried. My dad ordered the salmon with mushrooms and broccoli. 10/10 experience here! The staff is very friendly and kind, the food is amazing, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant itself is very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I plan on frequently coming to this place for healthy food! So glad I found this gem!

    Meh - yep that's it. Had a party of 5 at approximately 6:25pm on a Tuesday, paid around $150 (excluding a glass of wine that was rung up separately from the meal). For an order at a counter kinda place with no real waiter service, and not everyone ordering a drink - it felt kinda expensive for what we got portion, quality and taste wise. I personally ordered a steak meal that included 2 sides and the person who took my order was zero help in prompting for how the steak should or would be cooked, sauces for the meal being ordered, answering questions (like is the Caesar dressing creamy or vinaigrette type) or if anything else like drinks or desserts were needed. For someone who was new here it would have been helpful. I ended up having to ask for my plate to be cooked more. The food was just ok, and was like it was prepared before and just reheated (or attempted to be reheated since some was undercooked or cold) ate my whole meal since I paid so much and still left hungry. I had apparently been here once many years ago and it was very different back then - even remember walking the line like a cafeteria with hot fresh dishes in front of you to choose from. It was not like that this time. I ordered at a counter and found my own table. Someone came to drop the food from the kitchen and tha was it. No one checked on us or anything. Parking was easy and the location was easy access right off a freeway exit. Definitely not going to return. Sorry I really wanted to like it.

    Inside seating
    Dianna W.

    Nice cafeteria with fresh and healthy meals. Inside is nicely decorated with a cozy ambiance. I love the wooden floors and tables that brings out a natural look with all the plants decoration . Menu is posted at the front entrance as well as on line . If you join the membership for $5 one month , you get 20 % off on all your entries. We ordered the grilled portobello ‍ mushrooms burger and seafood chowder ( soup and sandwich) , a full size mixed beets salad with dressing in the side , free rusty bread , and a add on order of 5 grilled garlic shrimp with Parmesan butter . They are delicious and very filling. The dinning area is very clean and organized, with big glass windows and good lighting. Highly recommended to come try their variety of dishes.

    Beautiful dessert case
    Michaela R.

    I like Urban Plates because there seems to be something for everyone! It has good variety without having an overwhelming menu (like The Cheesecake Factory). The desserts looked amazing (I have yet to try them). I really like the bread they serve sandwiches on it as a side with a salad. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 because they changed my favorite Asian chicken salad to a noodle salad (instead of a green salad) and it's not nearly as good, in my opinion :( The staff at this location was very good (you order & pay at the counter when you first get there and they bring you food out to your table when it ready). So, even though it's not traditional waiter service make sure to give them a tip!

    I used the have the plate pass, just cancelled it since I am not going often enough to be a great value. Service was very good. Ambiance was nice, clean especially the bathroom.

    Moroccan Chicken Braise
    Eric C.

    I tell you this!L; get the Moroccan chicken it doesn't really matter if you get it with rice or mashed potatoes !! Thank me later!

    Braised Beef & Mushrooms Moroccan Chicken Braise
    Sylvia K.

    Love how they labeled each dish whether is gluten free or dairy free which I have to watch out for now. We got the beef and mushroom braise with turmeric rice. Hubby got the Moroccan chicken with rice pilaf. Both were spicy. I think my beef dish is not spicy but the turmeric rice. I also added $1 for the gluten free bread which was not tasty to me. Hubby got the pineapple mango cantaloupe juice. He liked it but I didn't care for it. He had a sample before getting it. Both dishes tasted very good but were very small portion. Wish they were bigger!

    Garlic Shrimp W. Parmesan Butter
    Cheryl W.

    I am giving Chef Eugene, head chef at Urban Plates, a 5 star rating for outstanding customer service. I went there today to return the Parmesan Shrimp dinner I purchased the day before because some of the items I ordered were not cooked the way I've had them before. I thought he probably wasn't cooking the day I purchased my meal, and I was right. I called and spoke with Chef to tell him about my meal and he told me to come to Urban Plates. He apologized for my inconvenience, issued me a refund, ordered a new Parmesan Shrimp dinner, and gave me a gift card. He demonstrated incredible customer service! I highly recommend the dinners at Urban Plates because there are many food options and the food is very good and reasonably priced. My positive experience with Chef Eugene has made me a dedicated Urban Plates customer!

    Why did the Niçoise salad dressing change?!? Bring back the old mustard vinaigrette! It completely changes the flavor of the salad!

We were seated in the very cute outdoor patio, there was plenty of shade so even though it was pretty warm out we were pretty comfortable. We shared the BBQ platter which was perfect for 3 meat eaters and my partner had the vegetarian mushroom pasta. The platter was great, the beef especially was perfectly medium rare and was tender thru every bite. The roasted vegetables included in the platter included Brussel sprouts and cauliflower which were also beautifully caramelized. My partner enjoyed her mushroom pasta, the ridges on the pasta absorbed every bit of the delicious white sauce. Happy to come back, I think the patio space makes it perfect for families of all ages. Looking forward to trying some cocktails next time.

Roadtrip seems to cater to Bowls, salads and some sandwiches. Lazy Dog online appears to have a different menu. We ordered the Salmon Dill salad and the Thai chicken salad. Both were designed as cold entries. This morning we wanted to minimize time waiting for food and were able to order two items which for us had free delivery. Unlike some delivery services there were no extra charges. Delivery pricing, and possibly order minimum amount, is based on how far you are from the kitchen. The original order estimated 45 minutes but their service delivered the food early. The online ordering was simple and organized. They used DoorDash for the delivery but I wouldn't be surprised if they used different agencies depending on requirements. Food was nicely prepared and met our expectations. I don't understand why they have both a delivery for Lazy Dog and Roadtrip Bowls menu. It appears the menu items are different and to confuse us more the in-store menu has some of the bowl items. They also have a "group ordering" option. You can invite others to order, and pay for, on your same check. For a small party at your house/business this is an intriguing option. If the menu has what you want, give them a try.

We sampled from all across the menu, starting with the Papaya Salad, a crunchy, acidic mixture of shredded papaya/carrots, basil, crushed peanuts, fried shallots, and a choice of protein (we got the grilled beef), all seasoned with sweet fish sauce. One of the more disappointing items was the banh mi, which featured a minuscule amount of meat (we chose the lemongrass beef), along with pickled daikon/carrots and cilantro, all on a crusty Vietnamese baguette. Their noodle dishes, however, definitely stood out. The Grilled Pork Vermicelli came with rice noodles, lettuce, bean sprouts, cucumber, carrots, mint, peanut, scallions, and fish sauce, along with thinly sliced marinated pork. The Five Spice Chicken Garlic Noodles came with egg/wheat noodles stir-fried with garlic and butter, along with tender pieces of marinated chicken with deliciously crispy skin (a highlight!). Finally, the Bun Bo Hue was a savory, slightly spicy beef broth with thick vermicelli noodles, topped with beef brisket, beef tendon, and pork ham, along with bean sprouts, cabbage, and herbs on the side. This restaurant's Bun Bo Hue had a more limited set of toppings than a traditional version but was tasty nonetheless. Overall, this was a solid Vietnamese restaurant for classics done well. The atmosphere featured colorful murals and a TV playing videos of Vietnamese street food--the service was no frills, and everything came at a decent value too!
