From the moment we walked in, the entire staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend this place!!! A special shoutout to Natalie, who helped us at the register. She went above and beyond explaining how everything worked and giving us some great food recommendations. She was patient, knowledgeable, and made our first experience there so much easier and more enjoyable. The service didn't stop there either. The staff regularly checked on us, offered refills, and helped clear and clean our table throughout the meal. Everyone seemed genuinely attentive and happy to help. Great food and even better customer service. Natalie, Javi and the rest of the team definitely made an impression on us. We will absolutely be coming back! read more

First timer, ordered the med bowl with mash potatoes 5/5. Very flavorful. My mom ordered the chicken plate - 3/5 chicken was a little dry. I really enjoyed my mint lemonade. Free dessert with review. Will get back to you on that. Service was good and fast. read more

I'm a bit disappointed by Urban Plates. I usually get catering from Urban Plates and am happy with the portions and taste but my in person visit was not up to standards. The portions were quite small (for the plates the rest of the party had) the steak was extremely overcooked (I asked for it medium), and my salad was pretty bland. It was missing dressing and the toppings it claims to come with. I also got a side of mushrooms which was $6 for a very small portion. read more

Free 90 validated parking in the attached parking structure. You can quickly park in a 90min retail spot and walk right through the office building into Urban Plates. We got a coupon and came by for lunch! There's a Plate Pass promotion that's a pretty good deal that if you spend more than $25 a month it more than breaks even. We got cage free chicken plates with bbq and truffle aioli sauces, fries, beets, broccoli and mac & cheese. The chicken was juicy and plates in general was filling. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon with the family for lunch. There's a parking garage off of Del Mar Blvd. 90 mins free with validation. 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.

Urban Plates - Grill chicken plate - Salad Near Me - Pasadena, California

Ordered Doordash since they're having a promo of 45% off orders of $15+! Got the Half Sandwich Combo ($12.50) but I got the Grilled Grass Fed Steak so that's an extra $2.49. it came with slice of toast and side (soup or salad). I got the Tomato Basil Soup. I also paid +$1.00 for Chimichurri. The 1/2 sandwich looked pretty small but it was stuffed with very generous portions of steak! It was an incredible medium rare and it was grilled very nicely. It was slightly dry and wished it had a bit more flavor but not a big deal! The Chimichurri was a bit disappointing. It seemed more like olive oil with bits of parsley than a sauce made with olive oil and blended herbs and parsley. The tomato basil soup was good. It seemed more like tomato sauce than a soup since the consistency was very thick. I liked that they used fresh tomatoes and it was packed with flavor. Also, really enjoyed the complimentary toast and croutons! Overall, I thought it was a good deal with the promo but a bit overpriced if I were to pay full price. I enjoyed the steak but thought the Chimichurri and tomato basil soup was just ok. read more

Urban Plates - Yummy - Salad Near Me - Pasadena, California

I recently visited Urban Plates in Pasadena, near my office. It's located in an area with lots of restaurants, so don't confuse it with the restaurant across the street called Urbane Cafe. We also have an Urban Plates in Long Beach, and I have to say they're very consistent with their restaurant layouts and overall experience. This Pasadena location was especially beautiful. I loved the décor throughout the restaurant. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and quick to serve us. We dined in, and our food came out surprisingly fast. I ordered a kids' steak plate, and I appreciated that the staff didn't question or refuse my order. I know some restaurants don't allow adults to order from the kids' menu, but it's the perfect portion size for me. The steak was cooked medium as I requested, very tender, and the potatoes were nicely seasoned. They don't offer steak sauce, but I asked for the chimichurri instead, and it worked out. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely return to this Urban Plates location. read more

This was our second Urbane Cafe we visited in two months. We loved every bite of our meal. We tried for the first time the Crunchy Peanut salad, the Santa Maria BBQ Chicken salad and the Chimichuri steak sandwich. We cleaned our bowls the salads were absolutely delicious. The sandwich was rich in flavor and came with a side salad. Fresh baked cookies are also displayed. I've was so pleasantly surprised to see they offer Sriracha. They have several fountain drink options and lemonade. Free 90 min parking in back of the store. read more

Brought a friend here since this has been one of my favorite Pasadena go-to's, and I'm happy to say it still holds up as a favorite :) I ordered the Seared Wild Ahi Tuna with Macaroni & Cheese and Steamed Asparagus as sides, along with the raspberry & ginger kombucha. I loved how soft and juicy the Seared Wild Ahi Tuna was. This is officially my new go-to The Macaroni & Cheese was also super soft and just the right amount of cheesy, so I'm glad I chose that as a side. And the Steamed Asparagus was seasoned really well, so I'd definitely get it again. The staff was really nice and helpful, and our food came out within minutes Plus, the inside of the restaurant is very pretty lol. read more

My friend got the herb seasoned fries, which I've never tried before and those were great! Overall a great experience and will be coming back soon! read more

Located on Lake Ave in Pasadena, Urban Plates sits amongst other popular restaurants for lunch. There is street parking but its only for 1 hour. There's also parking in the lots on the opposite side of the street, but those also fill up quick. Urban plates offers up a variety of foods that trend mostly to the healthy side. The prices are a little higher end for lunch, but the quality makes up for it. I ordered the Moroccan chicken with rice and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. It has a nice spice flavor to it, not to be confused with spicy. The sauce has a slight sweetness that pairs really well with the rice. The bread offers a great way to scoop up the last of the sauce and as a nice change in texture. The service was incredible and everyone was really friendly. They have patio seating and its not too loud even in the middle of the day. read more

I was excited to try Urban Plates after looking at their menu and pictures. It's clearly super popular. When we arrived for lunch around 12:30 Wednesday there was a very long line that moved pretty slowly. Everything took a while to come out, but service was very nice and friendly. I got the chili glazed grilled tofu plate with sides of mushroom stuffing and beets & goat cheese. Everything looked good, so I was surprised how unremarkable it ended up tasting. Everything I got tasted fairly standard but somewhat plain. The tofu was kinda dry and the stuffing was on the mushy side. I also got a slice of mango tart. That was probably the most disappointing one for me. First, I was surprised how small the piece was (maybe 2.5" wide at the crust end) for $8.25. But worse, it tasted strangely sour and the mango was stringy. I don't know if it was an off day or what. But given the popularity and good reviews, I'm just really surprised overall by the food I received. I parked in the garage behind the restaurant. Validation was simple but it ended up costing $6 for a little over 2 hours. read more

The staff was really friendly and patient with my group. I usually love Urban Plates, and I love their Chimichurri Grass Fed Steak. However, lately it has been hit or miss for me. The cook on the steak is rarer than what I would order, and the sides would be way too salty. I really like their sides for the most part. I absolutely adore the roasted brussels sprouts and their salads. The dressing on the salad is really tasty and fresh. The mashed potatoes is loaded with butter which makes it really tasty, but it is a bit sickening after a while. The ambiance is really nice though. I love how comfy the seatings are as well, and I could honestly spend hours here eating and talking with my friends. I think I just need to visit again and see if my experience changes. read more

There's lots of choices on the menu: Burgers, sandwiches, wraps, plates, bowls, soups, desserts, kids meals & lots of gluten free options.

It's been forever since we've been here, was in the area and wanted a light lunch, this is perfect! Previously service was like a cafeteria (walk down counter and choose your meal and sides) now, you place your order at the counter and then food is delivered to your table. Customer service after placing order is just okay, no follow up if you need anything for your meal. Restaurant is located on Lake Boulevard in Pasadena, street parking is available but limited with payment required, free nearby parking lot available. read more
