    Urban Plates is my go-to when I want to eat out but still feel good about what I'm putting in my body. The food tastes clean and you genuinely feel good after you eat it, which is not something I can say about a lot of restaurants. The coconut lime refresher is my favorite drink there and I get it every time. My partner loves that there are solid gluten free options, which always makes choosing a place easier for us. I usually default to the chicken tenders but this visit I switched it up and got a sandwich, also a great choice. The staff was helpful and the bathrooms and seating areas were clean and well maintained. Works great for lunch or dinner. Just an all around reliable spot that never really lets you down.

    Side Caesar Salad

    Heading home from HB, we were looking for a quick dinner that would make us all happy. I preferred a sit down restaurant, but we were struggling to find somewhere on our path home. Yelp suggested Urban Plates and with a 4.8 we figured it had to be great. For what it is, it's really solid. I just wish I knew it wasn't the sit down restaurant I was looking for in advance. So, what was it? It would be a great choice if I worked nearby and wanted some healthier options for lunch. It's a counter to table place. Order upfront, grab a seat, they bring it to you. Service at the counter was friendly and helpful. The staff who brought us our food was friendly too. The negatives... - my steak frites were lukewarm and chewy - the salad was overdressed - after food was brought that was about the level of service you get. But, I added a $15 tip for 3 people just to deliver our food - food came out too fast - all felt like a cafeteria vs a restaurant The positives... - clean and friendly staff - a number of organic ingredients - good mix of options Would I go back? For lunch, sure. For dinner, no. It's no True Food. It is good for what it is. So, I give a solid 4 rating. But, I do appreciate the concept - leaning organic, healthier and such but it just felt a bit in-between for me.

    Healthy and high quality meals. You'll see the freshly made juices first, and you can try them all before choosing. I went with the Dragon Fruit Strawberry and it had just the right amount of sweetness! I love the patio area too, which we luckily had all to ourselves. And if you have a dog with you, the server will ask if you'd like a bowl of water. It was so great to have that need anticipated before we even asked. And thankfully we were checked up on frequently, even though it was just us outside. This was actually my first time dining at this chain, and I will definitely be coming back. The food and service here is excellent! What brought me in was their social media ads for the new Steak and Frites, which is a dish you see at almost every restaurant in Europe. I had it many times on vacation this summer, and it's pretty close. The peppercorn sauce, that they pour over the grass-fed meat, is so good! And it's a limited time item too, so if you wanna try it, you'll have to get to an Urban Plates by this weekend!

    This place has been having special promos on certain items for a few dollars off. Combined with the membership offer, you can save a lot of money on entrees. A majority of their ingredients are organic so it feels very healthy eating here. Service is exceptional for a casual restaurant.

    Food was so good we had the chicken sandwich with truffle Parmesan fries, and the grass fed steak with chimichurri. It was amazing the hostess at the front Sydney was great and the food came out super quick thank goodness because we were getting hangry hahahaha

    Thanks so much Khloe for helping us out. I love coming to urban plates because I know the food quality is there and the service is always impeccable especially for a counter style dining experience. They still walk around to make sure your dining experience is going well. Recommend the chimichurri steak (yes the fresh chimichurri is worth the extra charge), roasted potatoes and Caesar salad. They also have really good mashed potatoes and Cobb salad that I've had previously.

    Steak with mushroom and potatoes
    Nancy H.

    This Urban Plates is always so friendly and clean every time we dine-in! Ordering is super simple. You can either order at the front and bring a numbered card to a table of your choice. The waiters then bring the food to you. Or, you can find a table first and order online with your table number. Utensils, extra sauces, Salt+pepper, and togo boxes are self-served at a separate counter. We usually order the Cesar wrap with crispy chicken, sub the chips with truffle fries + a side of truffle aioli sauce, and the grass fed steak with mushrooms and marbled potatoes. The chips that usually come with the chicken wrap are really salty, which is why I substitute it with the truffle fries for an extra $5. The truffle flavor is strong and the texture is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! The steak was cooked perfectly, and the sides were seasoned well, too. Today, we were pleasantly surprised with a free cookie! Thank you and we will definitely come back!

    Hummingbird Cake. Moist, fluffy, and big enough to share.

    We had a bestie lunch date today. The employees were super nice and the salads were delicious. We had different members of their staff check in on us, refill our drinks and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our lunch. Khloe helped us at the register. She had a warm smile and was a delight to speak to. We ended our lunch date with some amazing cookies and a slice of Hummingbird cake that I'll definitely come back for! I highly recommend this location.

    This is my absolute favorite meal here. It is so delicious and flavorful. The Caesar salad is rich in flavor and I love that they add tomatoes. The carrots are always a great side option as well. Staff is friendly and place is clean

    Love a restaurant with a good theme. The place has a nice rustic vibe, with all kinds of plates decorating the walls. Service was quick and casual, yet very friendly. Barramundi Sea Bass: 7/10 - Fresh and well-cooked, but the flavor was a bit underwhelming. Salmon: 8/10 - Simple and perfectly cooked. Not dry at all, which is a relief since so many places tend to overcook salmon.

    Chicken tender sandwich with fries
    Joseph N.

    Urban Plate is always one of my gotos. I liked it so much I even subscribed for a plate pass. They also carry my favorite fountain soda, stubborn, so they definitely get bonus points there. Khloe made we had a great ordering experience and was very thorough in explaining different menu options and gave me suggestions on what to order based off of my feedback. Erick gets an honorable mention for entertaining my whimsy and making sure I had extra pickles with my sandwich when I asked. The staff are very accommodating and attentive and I had a great meal. Ive eaten through the menu and I am thoroughly impressed. Fish always comes out perfectly cooked, meat is always delightfully juicy, vegetables have a great cook and perfectly seasoned. Definitely good for someone health conscious that doesn't want to sacrifice flavor for a guilt free dining experience!

    Cute decor!!

    I did it, I signed up for the guest pass so I can earn 20% off all food and drinks! I'm so excited to come more often for the friendly service and Sydney was so sweet taking our order!

    Urban Plates has a great Caesar salad option. You can add a protein if you like. It's super fresh, comes with a nice slice of toasty bread.

    I see that all the steak dishes are served medium-rare. Is it possible to get them cooked a little more, let's say, Medium?

    We went tonight and were told steak is only cooked medium rare or well done. Weird... I asked well done and lucky me it came out medium.

Started with the Hamachi Crudo - fresh hamachi with aguachile, avocado, cucumber, serrano, and macerated strawberries. The Momonoki Chicken Wings followed with a crispy 12-hour brined chicken glazed in caramel fish sauce, Thai chili, and scallions. Sweet, savory, crispy... these disappeared quickly. The Dashi Pesto came with pan-seared Hokkaido scallops, dashi-infused pesto, blistered cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan. Then came the Gochujang Pork Belly over mashed potatoes with mozzarella and scallions. The pork belly was tender and flavorful, but those mashed potatoes deserve their own review. Seriously, the softest and creamiest mashed potatoes ever. Ever. Finished the savory side with the Miso Bacon Carbonara - creamy miso-Calabrian chili carbonara with crispy bacon, Parmesan, and scallions. Rich, comforting, and another dish worth coming back for. Dessert brought strawberry lychee ice cream and sesame creme brulee. Both were pleasant, although the savory dishes were definitely stars of the evening.

    What an awesome gem of a spot here in Orange County! I've been eyeing checking District 36 Diner…read moreout for the longest time - ever since they opened up earlier this year - but they have the weirdest opening hours! I always thought of them "as the restaurant with the bizarre hours" - literally four hours a day during the week (closed Mondays) - and only slightly longer hours during the weekend. Upon first stepping foot into the space - you're transformed into an old-school diner with Vietnamese influence. The walls are well decorated in Vietnamese memorabilia. I was greeted by Brian almost immediately - who directed me to a spot "wherever I'd like to sit" - and I opted for one of the booths. Brian - is the co-owner of the diner, but is also part of "old-school" Little Saigon culinary royalty - a descendant of the family that founded the OG Song Long restaurant off Bolsa Ave. that has since shut down (known for their Cha Ca Thanh Long dish - which sadly, you can't get here). He is incredibly warm, genuine, and easy to chat with. After trying to decide between their Bo Kho variations (which is my favorite Vietnamese dish next to pho) - I settled for something new for me - their Five Spiced Chicken Fried Steak - which also comes with two eggs your way (I picked "Sunny Side up"), tater tots, and a Diet Coke. The wait was minimal - and the food was awesome! The tater tots tasted fresh - was perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and yummy on the inside. I found myself eating those first - while letting the gravy seep into my chicken fried steak to soften it up a bit. The chicken fried steak was perfectly flavored - you could almost taste a bit of pho spices with each bite. The homemade gravy was out of this world amazing - making the chicken breading soft enough for me to eat comfortably. The two sunny side up eggs had perfect yolks - I like to poke, and then suck each yolk up - before eating the whites. I appreciate Brian cranking up the AC since I forgot to bring in my portable fan - and it was a pretty warm day. Hoping to check them out again this Saturday for their take on Bun Bo Hue or maybe one of their Bo Kho dishes! Plenty of parking in the shared lot with a Grocery Outlet and Artisan 7 Leaves (which I stopped by after my lunch here). Hope to see them more busy! Brian told me he'd definitely consider opening longer hours during the week if business picks up. Check them out!! They have a unique twist on traditional diner foods with a bit of Vietnamese flair!

The diner is very clean with interesting artwork and vibrant colors. I got the Five-Spice Chicken Fried Steak, Mama's Crispy Rolls, and a cup of Chicken broth to share. The rolls were hot and crispy with fresh leafy greens. The chicken fried steak was very crispy with a consistency almost like fried chicken. The taste is different from a traditional southern type of chicken fried steak. It had an interesting flavor like a mix of the pho seasoning. It is a brownish yellowish color and tastes a little like curry. It paired well with the tots. This was a hearty but not super heavy brunch dish and having a cup of the chicken broth was perfect to wash everything down. The breakfast burrito looked very good on the menu and I might try that for on another visit. I would recommend this diner for anyone looking for one with a retro modern feel and fusion food and good service.

The truth is I couldn't have imagined what an enjoyable meal myself and my two companions would be having.

As we walked inside you are immediately taken by the charming atmosphere. Everyone was so welcoming! From our amazing waiter Timmy to Misty our chef/owner. Every single dish was fantastic. From the French Onion soup with bone marrow, the Mac and cheese shareable, to the garlic bread with pesto.. But the entrees and desserts SHINED! I had the scallops while the other two had the 8oz hanger steak. Both steaks were cooked to perfection (rare and medium well) and the scallops were so buttery soft they melted in your mouth. The desserts was cheesecake with a raspberry gelee for one and a warm banana bread with ice cream and chocolate drizzle for the other. Even though we were all stuffed, the plates were worthy of a lick (although we restrained ourselves). So if you're ever find yourself in Huntington Beach and want to up your food game, come to this little gem. It won't disappoint. Will definitely be back next time!

While the rooftop deck has a great view, the sun came down in the evening and essentially blinded everyone who was facing that way. There were no shades that could be lowered and many people were having to turn their chairs/crowd on one side of the table. This might not happen every evening but Jolie should ideally implement some shades or blinds that can be pulled down if it does happen.

We live right around the corner, and we'd really prefer if the rest of Orange County didn't find out about it. Less waiting for us! Ha! But they deserve the recognition. We've worked our way through a good portion of the menu and sampled more cocktails than we probably should admit, and they have never disappointed us. Every dish is consistently delicious, beautifully prepared, and every cocktail has been spot on. The service is just as impressive. The staff is genuinely friendly, attentive without hovering, and always makes us feel welcome. The atmosphere is one of our favorite things. It's casual, comfortable, and inviting, yet still has an upscale feel that makes it perfect whether you're grabbing dinner after work or celebrating a special night out. So yes... we're giving away our favorite neighborhood gem. If you go, just do us one favor--don't tell too many people. We'd like to keep pretending it's our little secret.

    Came to Huntington Beach and was looking for a restaurant with the beach view. I didn't have to go…read morevery far before finding The Brant. It's located within the mall in Huntington Beach on the second floor. The food was so perfect for brunch and the staff was friendly and helpful too. The menu has a lot of options and I believe the Portmans are pretty good size. My mom and I shared this sickening and we're still satisfied. Papi that the beach view so beautiful and such a nice thing to look at while we enjoyed our brunch. They were also validate your parking, so don't forget to give them your ticket if you park in the garage!

    It was my first time here, and I came to celebrate my birthday. From the moment we arrived, the…read morecustomer service was above and beyond. Our waiter was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure everyone at our table was taken care of. I have food allergies, and he took them very seriously. He double-checked with the kitchen to make sure my meal was safe, removed anything I couldn't have, and even gave me some great recommendations. That level of care meant a lot to me. We were a pretty large party, and somehow every single order came out exactly as requested. There were no mix-ups, nothing was forgotten, and our waters were constantly being refilled without us even having to ask. Our waiter was truly on top of everything. The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the steak cooked medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly with amazing flavor. One of my friends let me try a bite of her salmon, and oh my goodness...it was so good! I already know that's what I'll be ordering the next time I come back. The mocktails were also fantastic and paired really well with the meal. The restaurant itself was spotless, including the restrooms, and the atmosphere was beautiful. The ocean views made the experience even more special and were the perfect backdrop for celebrating my birthday. I would absolutely come back for the incredible food, amazing service, beautiful views, and overall great atmosphere. Thank you for making my birthday celebration such a memorable one!

    Beautiful outdoor setting, delicious food, excellent service…read more They rolled out some new menu items today, and I tried the Thai green curry and it was fantastic, the best curry I've ever had! Someone in our party had the hamburger, which was amazing, we had the frito misto appetizer, and it was so good we ordered another! Both the owner and the chef came around to our table to check on us. Epic experience!

    We hosted a baby shower for my sister at Benchmark and what a horrible experience. On the day of…read morethe event, it was around 90 degrees and the AC broke. The room was getting progressively hotter so we asked if the AC was on and a server casually told us the AC was "on the fritz." We had spent months planning this event and this was incredibly disappointing. Even before the guests arrived, I noticed the cupcakes and macarons I had brought in melting from the extreme heat. All the guests were noticeably and understandably uncomfortable and sweating the entire 3 hours. No one came to check on us or to apologize for the inconvenience. This was not the event we had envisioned for the guest of honor who was 8 months pregnant. It was not only uncomfortable but also posed a health risk.The restaurant showed a lack of concern, care and accountability over the entire situation. I understand that the weather and the AC breaking were out of anyone's control but the handling of the situation and the aftermath was poor. We tried to give the restaurant opportunities to make this right but they failed at every opportunity. Because of the lack of communication, poor decision making and incompetency, I cannot recommend this restaurant for any events. The servers were nice and the food was all right but there are many other acceptable options for food in the area.

    So far the best Kei Concept restaurant!…read more Appetizers: SEAFOOD CEVICHE - light, refreshing, with a hint of heat from the Thai chili and tropical flavor from the coconut and mango. It can be enjoyed on its own, but I recommend consuming this with the fish chips. It's a great starter! CHICKEN WINGS - the best wings ever! I've had something similar from Pok Pok Wing in Las Vegas (sadly, all their locations are closed). My husband and I have not found a spot that prepares wings with caramelized fish sauce and garlic until now. We were brought back to our happy memories of the sticky, sweet, and umami flavors. Don't skip out on this! Main dishes: CURRY CRAB OMELET - I really enjoyed this one. I don't normally have crab with an omelet. This was a great combo! There was a perfect amount of crab. It was simple, but it had a lasting impression. I was able to taste every ingredient in this dish. I kept coming back for more. SEAFOOD TOM KHA PASTA - another hit! It was creamy, savory and aromatic. A dish I also kept coming back for more. FILET MIGNON BÁNH MÌ CHẢO - I only ate a small portion of this because I got full from the other dishes. The medium-rare filet mignon blanketed under the black peppercorn sauce was a tasty bite! We took the left over home and the next day I devoured the rest. Drinks: MANGO STICKY RICE MATCHA LATTE - what a combo! This could pass as a dessert if you didn't want to eat anything else after your meal. You are able to adjust the sweetness, which I did (75%). Next time, I'll leave it as 100%. Dessert: MANGO STICKY RICE - we ordered it without the peanuts. Visually, it was beautiful! The mango and coconut against the purple sticky rice really popped! Flavor wise, it tasted similar. The black sesame salt was pretty subtle though. This was more of a refined version of the traditional dessert. Our server was personable and attentive. On ambiance, the restaurant is definitely chic. It's spacious and very well kept. The restroom was clean, they offer mouthwash as well. This spot was recommended by our friend. He said it's the best Kei Concept restaurant. We agree 100%! We are definitely coming back here. Thank you, Nep Cafe!

The portions are pretty small and it is pretty pricy, but this is a more up scale place. The ambiance is very nice and there's always plenty of seating. I would recommend putting in a reservation if you're a group larger than 6 though, if not you'll have to wait quite a while.
