    Grilled BBQ Pork Ribs
    William H.

    TLDR - 5/5 for the ribs only, 3/5 for the steak. Shockingly good ribs... had to commend them. My girlfriend asked me to take her to urban plates and I was rolling my eyes because I've had it in college in San Diego where it is basically upscale quick service food, not quite sit down not quite fast food. But let me tell you how shocked I was when I tried their bbq ribs. I literally had my jaw drop when I tried pulling apart the first rib and the entire bone almost came clean off. The meat was juicy, tender, and had the right amount of fat and seasoning. hot take but I swear these ribs were better than some places I've been that specialized in bbq.. I enjoyed my ribs so much I went into flow state and ignored my girlfriend who offered me some of her food. I eventually tried some of her chimichurri steak and yeah... it was mid just like I remember in college. Not bad, serviceable.

    Chicken Tortilla Soup
    Christina S.

    I really enjoyed this place and it was on a whim that we stopped by to check it out. We spent the day in Santana Row shopping and my kids wanted something to eat. My daughters chose this place after visiting the other restaurants nearby and peeping menus. This one appealed to them so we went inside. We waited in line to order and then took our number to find a booth to sit at. Service was quick and our food arrived shortly after. The salad was so good with a mixture golden and red beets. My son finished his whole bowl of the chicken tortilla soup. Both my daughters devoured their bacon cheeseburgers with fries. My husband sipped on the cantaloupe mango drink and said it was refreshing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside it was comfy with booths and tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean atmosphere and nice servers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will come back again!

    Grilled steak with brussels sprouts, quinoa, and truffle aioli (bottom) + glazed tofu with sesame broccolini and mushrooms (top)
    Yuki K.

    Service was fast - we ordered, found a table, and the food came within 10 minutes. The sides were flavorful and well-made but the proteins were a bit disappointing. The steak I ordered took a while to chew through and the chili glazed tofu (vegetarian) my mom ordered was just a firm block that might not have been marinated for long enough. I'd probably just get a sides plate next time or try the beef braise soup.

    Grilled Steak Salad as it came from the restaurant.
    Stacy C.

    Had a grilled steak salad delivered for lunch. In the picture of the salad on the DoorDash menu, the steak looks nicely cooked medium rare. When I received my salad, most of the pieces were well-done with a few medium. It was disappointing. There is an option to select well-done when ordering, but I didn't select it. The salad itself was pretty unexciting, too, with just mixed greens and coconut roasted cashews. That was partly my fault because I had them hold the mango salsa and jicama. I added red onions and avocado from my own kitchen and that helped liven it up. I also discovered if I dipped the steak in the salad dressing it tasted better. The salad dressing was honey Dijon, but it tasted more like thousand island. That's okay, I like thousand island. The best part of the salad was the coconut roasted cashews. Wow, they were delicious. I don't think I'll order that again for delivery. If I have it again, it will be in person so I can send it back if the steak is well-done. DoorDash gave me a partial refund this time.

    My lunch: Seared Wild Ahi Tuna (well done)
    Kay O.

    This was my first time at this particular urban plates at Santana Road. I've been to the one in Sunnyvale a handful of time. All I really wanted was hummingbird cake and some coffee but I knew I needed something more substantial for lunch. Lol so I got the Aji seared tuna and had it well done. I got a side of mushrooms and country potatoes. To my surprise the country Potatoes had blue as well as Yukon gold and regular potatoes in the mixture! Wow! I was very impressed!! The server was incredibly polite with us since my girlfriend and I were meeting up after not hanging out for two years and we couldn't figure out what we wanted! Once we got our food, everything tasted delicious and my girlfriends like their salad and sandwich sandwiches. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was very open and friendly. Everything was clean and very well organized![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wouldn't mind coming back here again for lunch. I definitely loved the hummingbird cake as well as the giant slice they gave me!! Needless to say I ate the whole hummingbird cake and took my lunch to go. Lol.

    Grilled chicken plate
    Da Kat A.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is spacious with many tables. There are seating outside the restaurant as well[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Came here for a late lunch with a friend. There was no line, however, the two workers at the front just ignored us while they were busy working behind the counter. We waited for about 10 mins before someone acknowledged us and asked if we were ready to order. Not good customer service to begin with. We ordered the Grilled Chicken plate (with chimichurrii sauce) and the Roasted Barramundi Seabass plate. The grilled chicken is moist and the chimichurri sauce is very good. For the harrisa lime cauliflower, it's a bit too salty and too much lime. The roasted brussel sprouts with balsamic glaze is pretty good. My friend said the roasted barramundi seabass is good but the rainbow carrots and golden beets side dish is greasy. It's pretty pricey for the portion size. For adding a side of protein to a salad (that doesn't come with any protein) such as grilled chicken, it's another $10 that is expensive. The price you pay is like eating at a full service restaurant.

    Grilled Grass Fed Steak
    Maritza O.

    I ordered it on DoorDash and I'm so incredibly impressed. The food was amazing, everything was flavorful, and tasted healthy too. The quality was amazing. I will definitely be getting again.

    Amanda V.

    Very slow service to order, even when other people were not ahead of me and I visited in between peak lunch and dinner hours. That said, the kitchen was quick to bring our food out once we sat down. Menu had a great variety of items. Everything we ate tasted fresh and well seasoned. I would come back!

    Steak
    Teresa N.

    The steaks are yummy but portions are small, don't forget to get chimichurri because it's adds a lot of flavors to the steaks. Healthy plates!

    Turkey Avocado Club Sandwich
    Aashrith B.

    Very hearty and healthy tasting food. I could tell the ingredients are fresh, and the wait time was not bad at all coming for a lunch on a random weekday. I got the half and half, and especially liked the turkey avocado melt. My only gripe is that portion sizes are a little small, so if you want something filling, maybe order a different menu item.

    Grilled Grass Fed Steak Sandwich
    Michelle N.

    Came with friends on a Wednesday around 7:30pm and we were able to place our orders right away at the front. Urban Plates is located in Santana Row among many other food spots, and parking was easy to find in one of the nearby garages. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Despite how lively Santana Row usually is, Urban Plates felt quiet and chill as soon as we walked in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space was clean, spacious, and warmly lit, which made it a comfortable place to dine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu offers a wide variety of options, including soups and salads, American-style plates and bowls, and sandwiches. There's also a cute display of desserts at the front. I ordered: the Grilled Grass-Fed Steak Sandwich: steak was cooked nicely, well-seasoned, and served with perfectly toasted bread and chips on the side. Nothing fancy, but clean, good, and simple. Overall, Urban Plates is a solid spot for a relaxed, no-frills meal at Santana Row.

    Menu - Nov 2025
    Maribel M.

    Tried Urban Plates take-out when planning a movie night, glad to find a new solid option! * Location: Indoor & outdoor seating, order at cashier firsr or place your mobile order. Restaurant is in Santana Row, pick parking garage of your choice for easy access. * Online order was easy, pick-up was super fast & efficient. Food was packaged very practically (ex: fries in a sealed box to keep them crispy). We tried the tomato soup, portobello mushroom sandwich, & chicken tenders. All fresh-tasting (nothing too heavy or greasy), good flavors, & solid meals without tasting like fast food. Looking forward to trying more dishes next time!

    Turkey Family Meal and two pie slices
    Maria L.

    Came to pick up our pre-ordered Turkey Family Meal yesterday. We got it once the year before from a different location and liked it a lot. While I enjoyed cooking for my family last Thanksgiving, I missed how much more relaxed it was when someone else did the cooking and I could spend more time with my family doing other things. We had ordered Thanksgiving meals from a number of other places over the years, but they would all require re-heating. It's a no-brainer to order from Urban Plates again this year as their meal was hot and ready to eat and it would be just for 3 adults. Price of the family meal had only increased slightly compared to 2 years ago (about $118 after surcharge and tax). I placed a separate order for two slices of pie to be picked up at the same time, too. Street parking was easy a little before 6:30pm. There was no line for pickup and the food (one big bag for the family meal, and one small bag for the pie slices) were already on a table near the back inside the restaurant. The bags were clearly marked with my name. The food smelled really good in the car, and was still warm when we got home. The turkey breast was moist, the Brussel sprouts were really tasty, and not bitter at all. The mashed potato was not bad. The bread and the stuffing were a little brand, though. Adding gravy to them did help, fortunately. We had enough leftover for another person as the meal was supposed to serve 4. We warmed up the apple pie slice, and shared it with ice cream. A perfect sweet ending to our meal. We're too full to even try the pumpkin pie slice, and had to save it for another day. I would consider ordering a Thanksgiving meal from Urban Plates again for the convenience.

Customers usually come in, grab what they need, pay, and head out, which keeps things moving smoothly. One of the best things about this bakery is the incredible variety of pastries and breads. Whether you're craving something sweet or savory, there's plenty to choose from: melon pan, loaf bread, dinner rolls, chow mein bread, spaghetti bread, sweet potato bread, crab and roe bread, tomato bread, apple pie, and so much more. Don't skip the refrigerated section either! They carry fruit sandwiches, tuna sandwiches, fried bread, donuts, somen noodles in a cup, and other delicious grab-and-go items. They also offer rice balls and drinks that can be ordered at the register. If you're in the area, definitely stop by and give them a try. Small businesses like this deserve our support!

    Clover Bakery & Cafe is a small Japanese-style bakery and café that feels like the kind of…read moreneighborhood spot you randomly discover and keep coming back to. We walked into a cozy, compact space with shelves filled with freshly baked breads, pastries, and prepared foods, all arranged in a way that makes you want to browse slowly even though the shop is small. The atmosphere has that simple, welcoming feel reminiscent of the small bakeries you find throughout Japan, focusing more on quality and variety than on a large café setup. Seating is limited, so it is better suited for grabbing something to go rather than spending a long time inside. The biggest draw here is the combination of Japanese baked goods and savory items. The bakery selection offers a great mix of sweet and savory options, with classics like melon pan standing out for its crisp sugary topping and soft interior that stays light without being dry. The curry bread and croquette bread are also popular choices, both feeling comforting and freshly made rather than overly sweet or greasy. The bakery items are reasonably priced, which makes it easy to pick up multiple things without feeling like you are spending too much, and the variety means there is always something new to try. The onigiri selection is what really makes Clover stand out compared to a typical bakery. They offer a variety of rice balls with fillings like spicy tuna, tuna mayo, and unagi, making it a great option for a quick breakfast or light meal. The rice is well balanced and the fillings give each onigiri a different personality. The spicy tuna has a nice kick that comes through without overpowering the rice, while the unagi adds a sweeter, more savory flavor that works especially well with the slightly salty rice. The onigiri are a practical, satisfying choice for anyone looking for something more substantial than a pastry. Beyond the baked goods and onigiri, Clover also has drinks, sandwiches, and desserts including cakes and other pastries. The strawberry cake is a nice lighter dessert option, and the overall menu gives plenty of reasons to visit whether you are looking for breakfast, a snack, or something to bring home. The offerings feel thoughtfully selected, with enough variety to cover different cravings without making the menu feel scattered. Service is friendly and efficient, and the small size of the shop adds to the charm. Since it has become a popular local spot, some items can sell out during busy hours, so arriving earlier gives you the best selection. Parking can also be a little challenging during peak times, but the quick grab-and-go style makes the visit easy to manage. Clover Bakery & Cafe is a great stop for anyone who enjoys Japanese bakeries. The combination of fresh breads, affordable prices, and unique savory options like onigiri makes it feel different from a standard bakery. It is the type of place where it is worth picking up a few items and trying a mix of everything, leaving you with the sense that you have found a little neighborhood gem that delivers on both quality and variety.

The spicy turkey was good but it just needed more of it because as it, all I tasted was bread. The mustard and house sauce also wasn't enough in quantity so the whole sandwich tasted very one dimensional and bland. This location was a huge letdown. I think I'll stick to the San Jose location.
