    I've been to many locations and coming here to the new location was a big disappointment! My order came out bad two times. Fish was way over cooked and cold! I didn't complain because I was just annoyed and wasn't in the mood to complain. I ate it and left, and will never order it again !

    I love this place you order thru Kiosk at the counter. Grab a number. I wanted to gate keep this place. Healthy, clean environment food is so tasty and service is great. I would like to try everything on their menu. Their home made bread is so good. This is the spot.

    Salmon Bowl
    Ashley M.

    A Facebook ad got me in here, I'm in my señora era. Either way, when there's such liiiiiiimited healthier options for food when dining out it is lovely to see an option available that I wouldn't feel guilty about. I stopped by for some lonche & I ordered their salmon bowl, hold the edamame. It comes with a piece of focaccia that I assumed was their signature thing .... But it was not that great. I think it is way too doughy compared to typical focaccia. I like my focaccia airy, with some bounce. This one was like a dense bread. Definitely not my forte for having focaccia. You're able to see in my attached photo just how thick and dense it looks. The salmon bowl itself was pretty refreshing. I think the dresssingggg was perfectly tailored to the bowl. Not too acidic, not too sweet, not too salty. It dressed the bowl up real nice. The salmon was tender, nicely cooked, not chewy-- I hate when I get cheewwwyyy salmon I want fish not gum. The rice and sweet potatoes were perfect! Absolutely a nice bed made for the salmon to lay on. I tried the Shirley temple it's way too sweet, more grenadine than anythang. I just optd for half unsweetened tea & half of their lemonade. It was average. The cranberry cookie was pretty good! Not something I usually lean towards but I was wowd to taste how good it was. Cranberry gave it that nice kick of tang on your tongue. Service was friendly, I ordered through the kiosk screen. It's clean inside and in the restroom as well. Plenty of parking in the plaza.

    BBQ Tri Tip

    Located in LBX, this was a perfect stop after shopping at Nordstrom Rack. I walked in and the vibe was friendly. I was immediately greeted by someone behind the counter. I love the concept, where the bread is baked daily, the meat is hormone free and the saces are made from scratch. I ordered using the kiosk and noticed that the menu includes sandwhiches, salads, bowls, and soup. I chose the BBQ Tri Tip sandwich which includes Jack Cheese, Housemade Apple Coleslaw and Chipotle Aioli. The sandwich is a bit smaller than I expected, but comes with a side salad. The sandwich is sliced in half and the first half had a small amount of tri tip. I then ate the second half which had a nice amount of tri tip. Overall, the sandwich was delicious and a bit spicy. I appreciated the side salad but I'll choose a different dressing next time. It came with a Balsamic Vinaigrette which wasn't my favorite. I received my take out order and the cashier apologized for the wait. It really didn't take long at all. Service was pretty outstanding and the food, fresh and delicious! I'll definitely be back to try more.

    Loveeeeee urbane cafe and this location is keeping up with the quality. The focaccia was pillowy and hummus was savory. Great for a post workout meal. Service was supper friendly and location was clean! Lots of parking available too!

    Steak sesame Garlic Sesame Steak Bowl
    Pete A.

    Came in here they were hungry and we heard it was good a wide enough variety to order an order either salad or sandwich. Demon environment, friendly staff we can order a kiosk or Have someone help in person. my wife got a Mediterranean bowl and really liked it. My daughter gets the salmon bowl and also enjoyed it. My other daughter and I both got the garlic sesame steak bowl. I thought the steak bowl was very flavorful and they did give you plenty of steak, but I did think the steak was a little bit too well done. Also bought two drinks and the total bill was $80. Life ain't cheap anymore.

    Fresh, tasty and good portion for the price. Service is friendly and fast. They have a good variety of proteins and vegetables, rice bowls and salads, as well as fresh baked breads. Clean and lots of seats. Will come again.

    Pastrami Tri Tip sandwich
    Kyle H.

    My second time at Urbane café today. I got my food to go this time. I had the Chimichuri steak sandwich on house made ciabatta bread. All their sandwiches come with either a side salad or a cup of soup. I got the salad. I also got a cup of their enchilada soup which I've craving since the last time i was there. Everything was excellent. Delicious, quality food, great service, great music playing in the background, Everyone is so nice and amazing prices. What else do you want? I Love this place

    We came here around lunchtime right before the rush which was about 12pm. There were only 2 tables left outside. The guy at the register was helpful when I asked him about their new fish sandwich. I ended up ordering that and the ahi tuna salad. I was really impressed with the sandwich. The fish was wonderfully seasoned and the slaw was nice and tangy. I really enjoyed the pickled onion in every bite. We also would order the ahi tuna salad again. We left very satisfied with our meal. Oh, and I love their root beer fountain drink! I plan on coming back again very soon.

    Salmon bowl
    Jennifer C.

    I came here for the first time earlier this week and tried the salmon bowl. It came with a complementary piece of their focaccia bread. Since it was my first visit, I also received a complementary cookie. I was so impressed by both the food and staff, and told my adult kids about it. My son and I came back today, and he was equally impressed. He had the Santa Maria barbecue chicken sandwich that included a side salad, and I opted for the limited-time offering of the barramundi bowl. The food is exceptional, very tasty with fresh and healthy ingredients. The cookies are amazing and the perfect end to a great meal. Both times, the entire staff was so friendly and helpful. They also have an app for placing orders and earning rewards. We will definitely be back often. It is such a better option for a comparable price, than greasy fast food.

    Cookies
    Rodney S.

    BIRTHDAY MONTH=BIRTHDAY COUPONS=HAPPY RODNEY Free cookie for Rewards members Urbane Cafe opened earlier this year, and I made sure to sign up for their Rewards to take advantage of birthday perks. After having a sandwich at Ike's, sushi & a cocktail at Sosogu, a Michelob Ultra at Georgia's, and churros a la mode at Silverlake Ramen, Urbane Cafe rounded out the last stop at LBX to hit up. Ordering a chocolate chip cookie via the self-service kiosk, an employee quickly swiped up one of their sinfully sweet delights, and chocolatey goodness was within my grasp in no time. Service was great. A good amount of customers were entering the restaurant, and the staff kept the line moving, the entire time. Urbane Cafe is located on the right of the main entrance (McGowen St.) of the LBX, next to For Eyes. A free cookie ain't too shabby, at all. Urbane Cafe brought birthday cheers for me, and I appreciate it. I'm anticipating coming back, and exploring the rest of the menu.

    This spot is my go-to after a sauna session. I always order through the app, which makes ordering quick and convenient. I usually get the salmon bowl, but recently I've been switching it up with the cilantro chicken salad. The salmon bowl is packed with flavor--BBQ-glazed salmon, mixed whole-grain rice, marinated kale, roasted sweet potatoes, edamame, a lemon wedge, and a sweet chili aioli drizzle. A couple of times, though, the rice was a bit undercooked, which was disappointing. That's what led me to try the cilantro chicken salad instead. The cilantro chicken salad comes with marinated cilantro chicken, chopped salad mix, avocado, corn and black bean salsa, mozzarella cheese, and cilantro vinaigrette, plus fresh-baked focaccia bread on the side. The salad is really good, but I do wish it came with a bit more chicken--the portion feels small for the size of the bowl. I've also ordered cookies a few times. The double chocolate is my favorite. I tried the cranberry white chocolate as well, but it was too sweet and doughy for my taste. If you use the app and accumulate points, one of the rewards is a free cookie, which is a nice bonus.

    Sweet Chili Crunch Chicken
    Levis K.

    A nice, hidden gem amongst a crowd of big chains. I came here on a recommendation from my sister for healthy, delicious sandwiches with a unique twist of flavors and options and I can say I was definitely impressed! The food is great and the staff are pleasant to work with. There's a great selection of food and you can taste the freshness of the ingredients with each bite. I personally got the sweet chili crunch chicken and that was a flavor bomb of different tastes that blended well together. It definitely tasted great and I would recommend it. The location itself is in the middle of the LBX area, almost hidden amongst all of the big name chains that surround it. But definitely not a place to skip over, give this place a shot! There are multi height seating inside as well as an outdoor seating patio. Parking is plentiful as it's the LBX lot but also it's low car friendly for you car folks out there. Definitely recommend trying it out. Will come back again!

I was Khao Soy on the menu and I don't see that at too many Thai places that I've been to, so I got an order of that with chicken. Of course, an order of Pad Thai, 2 orders since I have 5 hungry people to feed. Also, I ordered the Thai coconut soup, I think it's called Tom Kha with chicken. One more noodles dish was the Drunken Noodles, it's kinda like Chinese Chow Fun, but has a more spicy flavor and basil in it. The food was all pack and bagged for me to take back to the hotel. We used my room since I have a bigger room. We had plates and set ups for all five of us and we re-plated the food on the serving plates that came with the room. All the food was really tasty and everybody was happy not to have to leave the hotel. I heard compliments on the Pad Thai and the Coconut soup. It was a good idea just to do take out and eat at the hotel here.

There's loads of amazing Thai places in Long Beach but you tend to go you the ones you like. I been to a good amount where they're highly rated but something about them isn't what I'm looking for. Some tends to be very Americanize, others are just whatever but people love them. I like what I like and this place is one of them. Like mentioned, whenever I'm in Long Beach a visit here is always a must. The service is amazing as all the staffs are very friendly and welcoming. The place isn't that big but a fairly decent amount of seating on both side. They do have a table out front but it's only one. Menu has pretty much a good selection of Thai dishes. I like what I like and tend to go for the same items as they are one of the place that makes it the way I prefer. And why is it some Thai places don't offer their classic dish, the boat noodles. I've been to a few and they don't offer it while some places, it's not that good. Here, it's alway consistent and very flavorful. That a must for me and alway ordered. We also love the papaya salad which you can have Thai style or Laos style. Depending on what your preference is. Their larb is great as well. Very flavorful and tasty. Of course our main items we tend to get here, the boat noodles which I love as it's flavorful, broth is perfect and all the extras added. Also all their curries are excellent. Lately we've been getting their massaman curries which the flavors is really nice. Whatever protein you like. The curries do come with a side of rice but an extra order is alway needed. Love it to have with the papaya salad and larb. All their dishes are great and very flavorful. Spice level varies on what you like but I tend to go with medium and add all the extra spices for myself with their sauce selection. We tend to alway be full even before being asked if we wanted dessert. The food is always amazing and the staff are always friendly and sweet. There's two restaurants that's a door apart and both are great but this one takes the cake for me. It's always a must when I'm in town as I know the food will alway be delicious. Highly recommended. Heads up, parking in the area is a bitch. It's all residential so people tend to stay in or else they're going to lose their spots. Just a heads up.

    This was one of the best ramen spots we tried during our Long Beach trip…read more The tonkotsu ramen had a rich, creamy broth that wasn't overly salty, and the noodles had a great texture. The chashu was tender and flavorful, and every bite felt well balanced. The pork rice bowl was just as good and is worth ordering if you're hungry. The restaurant is clean, modern, and has a relaxed atmosphere. Service was friendly, and the food came out quickly even though the place was busy. It isn't the cheapest bowl of ramen, but the quality makes it worth it. If you're looking for good ramen in Long Beach, HiroNori is an easy recommendation.

    HiroNori has 17 California locations from SD to San Mateo, including 2 in LB. I've eaten at this…read moreone twice before and it was good. This space used to be El Pocho Grill, which unfortunately closed years ago. I was seated immediately and very much enjoyed the infused water. The Tonkotsu Ramen was delivered shortly after ordering. It was good with flavorful broth that wasn't overly-salty. It just didn't hit the spot and had me desiring more. It's some of the best ramen in LB, but the value is lacking, so everything including lemons is an additional charge. They also tack on a 17.68% service charge for their operation since it's a non-tipping, cashless establishment. The service was good, but the operation is business first, restaurant second.
