    My Grilled salmon plate
    Sakurako ..

    I love the simplicity of the food here! It's healthy, they've got good choices. I've eaten at the restaurant, the atmosphere is clean and friendly, and have gotten a to-go from here. I would say this is the perfect lunch spot or food to get when you're busy but want to keep it healthy! Some may not agree with liking the gluten-free bread, but I do! I got the salmon with balsamic glazed Brussels and plain broccolinis with bread today! The Brussels are super good, but the broccolinis taste and smells like chemicals a bit, not sure why. Other than that, everything tastes and looks great! Service is good, I would still recommend this place to everyone!

    Weekend lunch. Lots of parking. Lots of seating both indoor and outdoor, found a table easily. Really liked the overall atmosphere. Ordered at the kiosk and the food was served quite fast. Friendly and attentive staff. I really enjoyed the steak plate. Til next time!

    So obsessed with their food and plate pass. Thank you for such quality and affordable food

    Beef & Mushroom Braise

    I ordered a beef & mushroom braise delivery from this place. The portion was small. The beef was lean and a bit on the drier side. There were only 5 chunks of beef in it and barely any carrots. I wish they gave us more carrots or beef. The mashed potato was good though, but there were a lot of it I couldn't finish all LOL. Dipping the mashed potato into the braised soup tasted delicious. The braise was a bit salty, so I didn't drink the soup. Overall 8.2/10

    The good - Good quality ingredients (i.e. free range chicken, grass fed beef) Vegan options, colorful vegetables Usually fast service The bad - Portion size was small Dark industrial vibe My nephew who is a healthy vegan was in town and took me to lunch here. This is a good place for him and I since I eat anything good. He had the beet salad plus added some grilled tofu. He said it what he often gets when he is Urban Plates for the taste and it's fairly healthy. I had the cup of soup and half grilled chicken sandwich. Taste was good, and liked that it was free range chicken. That means the chickens can run around and pick at the bugs and worms when they are outside, reducing the unhealthy diet of grains with linoleic acid common in conventional chicken that increase inflammation and other issues. I also had the chowder which was served lukewarm, and i prefer it hot and the portion size of both soup and sandwich are less than in similar sandwich shops. Tase was good. This is located in a busy minim mall with the huge Curtis Matthes furniture store across the street and in the same building as drive through Starbucks. Traffic gets pretty crazy at times. We used the entryway self service kiosk which was fast, but when the machine asked for a ticket number, they didn't have any. I had to go track them down (ALL of them were at the front register). The place at 2:00 PM after the lunch rush on a Friday was still kind of crowded with all but one booth taken which we grabbed. Some of the tables weren't cleaned off. The cement floor and kind of dark interior with the high ceilings and vent pipes and sprinklers gave an industrial-ish vibe. It was a decent time and meal overall. I truly admire that they have some anti-fast food practices, like limiting the fried foods in oil and featuring healthier options, i.e. organic vegetables.

    WOW! My family and I eat out a lot (#foodielife), and all over Riverside, San Diego, LA, and Orange Counties... And my meal tonight at Urban Plates is easily one of the best two meals I've had out this year. AND it was completely affordable!!!! I would describe Urban Plates as HIGH END farm to table fresh real food at Chili's prices. Great service here - We ordered at the kiosk when you walked in and food was at our table within 10 minutes. Chill environment Where you can bring your family or you can come work on your laptop here with music at a decent Level that's not taking away from conversation at the table but adds to the Great ambiance. They were eight of us tonight and plenty of space everywhere. I had the steak and shrimp platter with the quinoa and the carrots and beets. I also got to try the beet and goat cheese salad when my wife was full, And of course my kids had to pay the dad tax with some french fries and a bite of their chicken tenders. Legit... ALL delish. 12/10 definitely recommend. Bring your family here and enjoy a great meal for a great price.

    Beet Salad W. No Goat Cheese yummm

    Food here is ALWAYS DELICIOUS!! Honestly why go anywhere else? Can't go wrong with organic & grassfed ! The only beef I have is @urbanplates can you please open a location in Glendora or San Dimas or very nearby ? Lol I can only go when here in Irvine or I have to drive yonder's to Pasadena... My favorite all time Moroccan chicken bowl !!! The chimichurri steak is good too The beet salad simple but yummy Today we had a strawberry dragonfruit refresher soooo refreshing yummmmm I need seconds lol Truly one of the best restaurants in SoCal ! But the San Gabriel Valley needs one STAT ! Service was super friendly and attentive from everyone we had contact with while we dined from cashier Jose to server who brought our food to those preparing food. They said thank you on our way out. Really appreciate them and their hard work. Carlos at the front counter was super helpful & patient as we ordered. He was very gracious & attentive. He deserves a raise ! Thank you Carlos ! You're the best ! Dining area was perfect not loud If you care about eating healthy food, this is the place! ENJOY ! SYOY & If you know other places as good as this please share Happy eating Dare2live

    Love the variety of healthy choices at Urban Plates. They're both delicious and filling. The staff were very nice and helpful as this was our first visit. The ambiance is inviting, airy and cozy with both indoor and outdoor seatings. They do charge a 3% COVID up charge. Highly recommended!

    I love Urban Plates because the majority of their ingredients are certified organic. I am always impressed by the portions and the price. Some may say it's expensive, but you're getting a large quantity of food and high level quality. I have been to other locations before, but this was my first time at Urban Plates at the Tustin Marketplace. There are so many food options in this shopping center, but we chose Urban Plates for their mouth watering options. I love the fact you can get a meal that is all sides - and they have meat, veggie or even vegan options. All of their food is so delicious. I personally love the Thai Salad. It's a huge portion (enough for 2 meals) and costs under $20. Plus, you can get a side of their rustic bread too. Also, they have a water station, friendly staff, and the most satisfying desserts. You can get cake, cookies, bars, etc. We splurged and tried all their cookies and the Cowgirl Cookie stole the show! The restaurant inside was huge and they even have a shaded outdoor patio. I highly recommend this location specifically!

    1st and last time at this location. I usually go to the Brea, 2nd & PCH LBC, Woobbridge Irv., or Old Town Pas. locations, which are not as nice looking as this one. Clutter clean, but no one wipes down... lucky it is in a nicer area so it's not ghetto scuzzy. Runs out of water a lot, even when the managers are walking by overseeing. I had to tell a staff at the register, which she apologized and said she can't fill the water there. Forks and knives out only, while my meal needs a spoon. I asked the food runner and she said it's out for self service...uh, not next to the kiosk, the registers, or the outside patio, so I had to address the register staff again. I eat/drink out a lot, not even comparable to the average person. It's Friday night (11/07/2025) before 7pm and I've already been to 7 places and by the end of the night I'll add another 6-8 mor places (Coffee/Tea places, Bakeries, Restaurants, and Bars). Again normal for moi. Urban Plates food is a standard 5 level as sit down restaurants (hybrid ones included too) goes, but their front service here is lacking at best. Good luck. Completing this review next door at Starbucks waiting for my iced flavored tea to rehydrated. Oh, and my cup of water too.

    This broccoli and Herb Roasted Marble Potatoes were really disgusting this day
    David N.

    The last time we came here, the broccoli and herb roasted potatoes were disgusting. The broccoli was overcooked and like mush. The potatoes tasted off like a bit rotten. It's also worth noting that normally the herb roasted potatoes are whole small potatoes and these ones were larger and halved. Couldn't eat either and so ended up just eating the chicken and the bread. It also seems like even when you order all dark chicken, they will randomly throw in some dry white meat as a surprise lol. I like urban plates because it is a bit of a cleaner and fast meal when in a time crunch. But this last experience was very off putting.

    I am so glad to see so many people like this place because they are ethical and sustainable - but omg I thought the food was horrible. And I don't feel that way often. I got the tofu plate with brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes, and my gma got the steak with mac & cheese and brussels sprouts. The second she put the mac & cheese in her mouth she was practically gagging, and the brussels sprouts were so hard she couldn't chew them. Even I could barely chew them. My tofu was also like rubber, I had work so hard to cut it. And there was no flavor to anything. I added salt, pepper, and hot sauce and still so dull. The presentation also lacked. And to top it all off, everything was cold. The bill came to over $42 for the two plates, for what tasted like cafeteria food. They also do the 3% surcharge to all orders. The layout is also interesting. You go to one counter to order then your food is brought out but if you need anything you have to keep getting up and each counter has different things. So had to get up a lot. The staff were very very kind though. All love to them! I would probably never come here again - in my grandma's words: "That food tasted weird"

    It's been a while since I've been but I was trying to order and the Ahi Tuna is not available as a plate anymore?

    It is available to order in house, but no longer online as it has been "removed" from the menu due to a recipe and preparation change, but you can still order when you come into the restaurant.

    Their gluten free bread is vegan?

    Unfortunately no. There is Egg whites in the recipe

    Do they have a corkage fee?thanks

    Yes, corkage fee is $10.

Our server Kiro was phenomenal and handled the massive crowd so well. He was super attentive and always kept us in the loop when the bar or kitchen ran behind because of the rush. We sat on the outdoor patio, which is dog friendly and has great TVs set up for games. We ordered a bunch of cocktails, snacks, and hookah.

The decor of the place looks exactly the same as before withe a very similar menu, full of American food but they did add some Mediterranean Items. They do also host events like live musical performances or rent out the entire space for private events from the sign. We came recently to watch a World Cup game on the multiple TV's near the bar area. They do have one large TV mounted on the side which is a combination of like 9 TVs but the picture quality was OK since the screens were abit dated with washed out colors with some dead pixels. We did get a full spread of food and drinks including beers and cocktails. They do have a wide variety of beers on tap BUT a majority are sold out so do ask or have a backup choice! The cocktails were tasty and standard for a sports bar. Our favor was the strawberry margarita but you can't really go wrong with any of the margaritas since they were standard recipes and flavors. They are slightly on the stronger side too! The food we got was a very pretty good for a sport bar: Hawawshi - Stuffed Pita Bread: grilled Pita bread stuffed with seasoned ground beef with onion and jalapenos served with tahini sauce. This is very tasty with the well seasoned ground beef paired with the tahini sauce and great for sharing. Shawarma Chicken Sandwich - This one was unexpected since it was wrapped in a tortilla wrap instead of the usual Pita bread so was more like a chicken burrito? The flavor was good with very tender sliced chicken paired with the garlic sauce, tomato, onions and tzatiki sauce too. Shawarma Fries: fries topped with beef or chicken shawarma , tomato , onion, parsley, feta cheese , cheddar cheese and tahini sauce. We got the beef and this was definitely the favorite of the table. This takes all the flavors of shawarma and puts it on some thick crispy fries and goes perfect with beers/cocktails. The one big issue at this place is the service is very slow since they are very short staffed! So everything from ordering, to drink to food delivery is extremely slow especially on a packed day like a World Cup game day. We waited a good 20-30 minutes before our first round of beers came and about 30 minutes for the food. It was obvious on the timing since it was way pass the first hydration break almost till halftime before we even started drinking! Overall, an OK place to hangout with friends to watch a sporting event but just don't expect fast service. They need to either hire more servers or they will lose repeat customers for future events.

    came here recently and wow... that sourdough is no joke…read more we ordered to-go and sam said the guy helping him (maybe the owner or manager?) was super friendly and genuinely delightful. that already made the experience feel good before we even took a bite. we tried the french dip and the garlic turkey pesto. let me just say -- the TEXTURE of the sourdough??? chef's kiss. crusty on the outside, perfectly chewy inside, exactly how good sourdough should be. it honestly makes other sourdough spots taste a little mediocre in comparison. the french dip was my favorite. the au jus wasn't overly salty (which I appreciate), and everything just felt balanced and well executed. sam loved the garlic turkey pesto -- the mustard threw us off at first, but the more we ate it, the more it all came together in a really nice way. only con is the price. it's definitely on the higher end for sandwiches, which is the main reason I wouldn't order it super regularly. that said, you can tell the bread is baked in-house and super fresh, so I can't be too mad about it. overall, really happy we tried this spot and would absolutely come back when we're craving legit sourdough.

    The bread was delicious, as we expected. The outside was crunchy and the inside was soft and yummy…read more We split an 8 inch caprese sandwich. $16.99 for an 8 inch sandwich is pretty steep. $14.99 for 6 inch sandwich. The sandwich was good but there was too many competing flavors. Pesto aioli and something else were heavily applied and took away from the sandwich. We'll be back but will order more carefully. The staff was terrific and the place sparkling clean.
