    Salmon Bowl
    Te-see B.

    I still love this place and never get tired of it! Great soups, salads, sandwiches and bowls! *The Enchilada Soup was divine!!!! Available now I order online now and pick up at the front. *Note - always check your order before heading out the door! A few times my order was incorrect.

    This was my first time here and they have some pretty "healthy" options. Maybe think of it as an upgraded Subway? The location we went to was nice and clean but the parking situation can be tough! It's in an expanded mixture of a strip mall and a mall I guess you would say. The cafe was nice and clean, the seating was comfortable and the food was delicious! The service is fast and the employees are friendly enough! They work fast so your food comes out in a timely manner! The portions aren't huge but normal sized which is fine and will fill you up with no problem! There's also a drink fountain with unlimited refills. As I said it was my first time so I only had the soup and a half of a sandwich but this place is definitely worth a look if you're in the neighborhood and hungry!

    Santa Maria tri tip sandwich
    Peter V.

    Santa Maria tri tip sandwich today was perfectly made. Layered tri tip, Cole slaw melted cheese and a nice bar b Que sauce with some heat on a fresh focaccia bread with a fresh greens salad . Plenty of lot parking at NoHo west center and a nice lunch crowd. Excellent service too.

    This place has grown on me so much! I went here for a yelp elite event several months ago and loved it so much it's become a regular spot. The steak chimichurri sandwich is just perfect. The meat texture and flavor in whatever you order is always amazing. I had the Baja bowl recently. After I ordered it I got scared, I was like damn maybe I should have gotten the old tried and true steak sandwich. But then when it came out and I took a bite I knew I had made a good decision. I love that there are so many delicious things here that you don't have to fear exploring the menu. I don't even need to mention the bread you already know what the hell is up. Best bread ever. Staff is super nice especially the girl with the red hair. Will be back!! :)

    The Californian
    Sydney O.

    Came in for a late solo lunch date since I was at the shopping center. Been wanting to stop by for a while since I live nearby. I'm not a huge chain restaurant person, but this spot has very reasonable pricing for what you get. I paid around $17 for my meal and an agua Fresca fountain drink. I had the Californian sandwich which was very yummy, as someone who loves artichokes. There's plenty of vegetarian options here which is great, and the customer service was also excellent. I only waited about 5 minutes for my food. I'll stop here again!

    Baja Bowl
    Kiani D.

    I arrived on a Tuesday afternoon during lunch hours. It wasn't crowded upon my arrival. I ordered the Baja bowl without the corn and bean salsa. It was very delicious and refreshing. Once I mixed it all together it did have a little spice. You have the option of adding the free focaccia bread. The lemonades are really good I mixed all 3 together. The ambiance kind of reminds me of the seating area in chipotle.

    Seared Ahi Tuna Bowl
    Tara F.

    Consistent good, hearty and cleaner food for a reasonable price. The service has been good when I've been here so no complaints. I've tried their sandwiches, soups and bowls. This time I had the ahi tuna bowl - it was pretty good. I added some lemon to it because it needs a little more flavor.

    chimichurri steak sandwich
    Jacqueline N.

    I saw that there was a discount on the chimichurri steak sandwich on uber eats so I decided to give it a try! I chose pickup as I was in the area and my order was done by the estimated time. the parking lot is pretty small and there are multiple businesses in the same plaza so finding parking was quite stressful. cars were waiting for people to leave and grabbed the spots right away. luckily, I found a spot but as I got in my car to leave, there was already someone waiting for my spot. there is a parking structure for the entire shopping area close by but it is not free after a certain amount of time (I'm not sure if it's an hr) I went inside and the worker was very helpful and went to grab my order from the pickup shelf (that I didn't see at first) for me! it was a small gesture but I thought that was very nice of him. it was a Tuesday afternoon (~3pm) and the place was somewhat empty. it is a large place so they had ample seating available inside and outside! moving onto the sandwich: the chimichurri steak was actually delicious! I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did since the flavors sounded a bit unusual to me (cranberry chimichurri sauce & feta w steak??). after the first bite, I couldn't get enough and devoured the whole sandwich relatively quickly. it was extremely flavorful and everything went together really well! I was considering customizing the sandwich (removing feta and replacing the aioli with another one), but wanted to try it as originally intended and I am SO glad I did! only downside was the meat was a bit on the chewier side but I was fine with that as it's not a high end steakhouse. the side salad was small but I appreciated that it came with the sandwich. the vinaigrette was a bit overpowering at first but I ended up liking it as I ate more of it! overall solid meal and I would definitely be back to try their other items!

    Keto Cobb Salad (w/o bacon)
    Amy G.

    One of my favorite tried & true spots to get a great bite guaranteed. I always get the tofu Bahn Mi and it's delicious. Their freshly made warm focaccia bread is to die for- I'd recommend a side for dipping! The salads are plentiful and filling. It's quick service and the staff is always friendly! There's indoor and outdoor patio seating. Beware of the parking lot, it can get very chaotic at rush hours.

    Salmon Bowl

    Oh my god salmon bowl with tasty bread on side made my day so happy, super fresh and tasty

    Antioxidant Salad (blueberry salad)
    Linda M.

    I loooove Urbane! Their salads and sandwiches are so good and fresh and easy to digest! We tried this place when jt popped up here in NoHo West and have been obsessed with the antioxidant salad (out of season now). The place and people are so cute. It's hard to find salad places worth your moneys or that dont skimp, so Urbane is my go to when wanting to "detox" or eat out but feel lighter. CANT wait for the antioxidant salad to be back!!

But as beef stew goes...it wasn't stew-ish enough. Mostly because it has some strong seasonings, and the pieces of beef were cut really small, so it was more like a beef stir fry. That said, it was really tasty. Very flavorful, and the quality of the beef was good. I can see myself going there again. As for he place itself, the staff were nice, though going at lunch meant they were a little (and understandably) distracted. The website makes it seem like it's just for pick-up or delivery, but they have a couple small tables, both inside and outside. And I do mean small. Two people max. There's also a decent sized parking lot (the place is in a mini mall), and there's usually street parking, but at the moment Wilshire is under construction, so plan accordingly.

There is sometimes street parking but the availability is rough, it's tough to park, and even one of the meters we ended up at just didn't work. They only charge a $5 cash service charge though, which isn't bad. We were lucky to be seated right away, even in a packed restaurant. The restaurant has a surprisingly modern design, and is comfortable for as small as it is. We were quickly served their signature kimchis and barley rice. The kimchi, particularly the yeolmu (young summer radish) kimchi, has a unique flavor profile well suited to their food. We ordered 2 bowls of their plain kalgooksu, 1 bibim milmyun, and 1 tteokbokki. The food came out fairly quickly. The kalgooksu was as expected the star of the show. The anchovy broth brings a savory complexity that seems impossible for a soup made from just dried fish and a few other ingredients. It even has a rich, almost thick, quality to it that is surprising for a fish broth. Their noodles, the titular kalgooksu, have the signature irregularity and chew of knife cut noodles. I appreciate the vegetables that always come in kalgooksu, like potato, pumpkin, and zucchini, which offer an earthy heartiness to the light soup. My only complaint is that the potato is in huge irregular chunks, and is barely cooked, though I feel like I have had this issue with many of the kalgooksu bowls I've had over the years. The bibim milmyun was solid. I think that I prefer the texture and flavor of naengmyeon buckwheat noodles, but the milmyun, which are made with mostly wheat flour, still provide a satisfying chew. The sauce tasted bright and fresh, especially with a splash of added vinegar. It also came with a small side portion of spicy pork and some rice paper to wrap. The tteokbokki was the one let down of the meal. To be fair, I wasn't expecting much out of tteokbokki at all restaurant like this whose specialty is essentially the opposite. I ordered the tteokbokki as a "safe pick" for a picky eater in the group. It turned out to be a bit mediocre in our opinion, and that friend ended up enjoying their kalgooksu anyways. If you're looking to try this dish, it's definitely one of if not the best I've had in Southern California, so I'd totally recommend it. I'll also warn to steer clear of the Garden Grove restaurant of the same name and specialty. I think it's a disappointing mimicry of this place.

When you come in, there is a sign that tells you to order before being seated. My sister and her bf had yet to arrive so I placed a sizeable order for the 4 of us. Luckily, they were there (waiting in the car) so I told them to walk over so we can be seated. I ordered 2 orders of chiayi chicken (1with white rice and 1 with brown rice), 2 orders of thousand layer pancake (1 with egg and 1 with egg and cheese), shrimp wonton, dance dan noodles, wonton noodle soup, hakka mochi and forbidden rice pudding. For drinks we had a few of the shaken iced green teas and 1 taro milk tea (my sister said it didnt taste like taro) Everything was great. I was surprised my sister's bf liked the food. The chiayi chicken was good with a bit of the chili sauce (sambal). The thousand layer pancake was good if you dip it in the black vinegar (mixed with chili oil and a little soy sauce). The shrimp wonton were surprisingly light and tasty. The dan dan noodles was balanced my medium thin sliced cucumber. Everything was portioned very small so you can try everything.we didnt get additional sides because were getting full. The desserts was what I was looking forward to and it did not disappoint. The hakka mochi reminded me of the soy pudding stalls in singapore that had mochi balls filled with a black sesame paste and peanut paste inside. This is what the hakka mochi was but in dry soft chewy form with black sesame and peanut grains to top it off. For my sister, it reminded her of the filipino dessert pichi pichi. The forbidden rice pudding reminded me of a soupy version of the filipino dessert biko. It had chunks of sweet potatoes and tapioca. Also very good but my bias is the hakka mochi. The ambiance was bright, bustling and inviting. Very small tables perfect for a quick bite. Highly recommend if you want a tapas style lunch that doesn't break the bank.

We all had the Korean Purple Rice (Heukmi-bap) which was quite good, sat 4 out of 5). Purple Rice is said to be good for you, full of antioxidants and fiber. Drinks 4 stars: Good selection of Korean beers in small and large bottles, Soju, and non-alcoholic beverages.

    Had a long layover in LA after my flight to San Francisco got canceled, so instead of sitting at…read morethe airport for 6+ hours, I decided to finally check out Pine & Crane in DTLA. It's been sitting on my saved list for a while, and honestly, this turned out to be the perfect opportunity. The space itself is bright, clean, and welcoming with warm woody tones throughout. Casual setup where you order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. I had already looked through the menu beforehand, so the real challenge was narrowing down what to order for one person. I failed at that... and I'm very happy I did. Started with the Pig Ear Salad 滷豬耳朵. Braised thin sliced pig ears dressed with soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, scallion, and cilantro. OMG. So good. Tender, flavorful, perfectly braised, with that satisfying chewy texture done right. Also got the Fried Peanut Salad 五味花生 with garlic, cilantro, scallions, vinegar, and Thai chili. Super crunchy, bright, refreshing, and honestly addicting. I added a cup of the Hot & Sour Soup 酸辣湯 too. Organic tofu, beech mushroom, carrot, bamboo, woodear mushroom, and egg. Super comforting with a really balanced tang and peppery heat. Not overly thick or heavy like a lot of Americanized versions can be. Exactly the kind of soup you want during a long travel day. For noodles, I ordered the Dan Dan Noodles 擔擔麵. Sesame-peanut sauce, cucumber, cilantro, crushed peanuts. Delicious on its own already, but I ended up adding some of the fried peanuts from the salad into the noodles and it became even better. Then the Three Cup Chicken 三杯雞 with sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine, and Thai basil. I do wish it had a little more wok hei, but overall the flavor was still really comforting and savory. Extremely good with rice. Had a glass of Gewürztraminer alongside everything, which paired surprisingly well with the spice and aromatics. Their wine list leans more organic / natural wine focused, which felt very LA in a good way. Ended up sitting at a high top next to one of the managers and had a great conversation throughout the meal. She ended up hooking me up with the Traditional Shaved Ice 傳統刨冰 with grass jelly, red bean, boba, sweet potato balls, taro balls, brown sugar syrup, and condensed milk. I was already planning to order it anyway, and wow... I finished the entire thing. The brown sugar syrup was incredibly fragrant. Packed the leftovers to-go, and that ended up becoming my dinner after landing in San Francisco later that evening. Flight cancellation somehow turned into a really great food day.

    HOW DOES IT WORK? They offer menu at the front when you walk…read moren into the restaurant. You would order and pay first, and then they'll give you a number stand. It is self-seating so you'll place the number on your table. They offer some utensils at the tables but it is also self service so you can get your own bowl, plates, utensils and water. FOOD I came with a large group so we ordered a good number of dishes. All the dishes were delicious, flavorful and above and beyond for what I find it to be more a fusion-Asian restaurant. I particularly liked their brown sugar milk team as it comes with boba and grass jelly. And their mochi was SO delicious. This would be a place my parents would enjoy a lot. PARKING It's in downtown LA so parking can be tough. There are plenty of paid parking structures nearby. WOULD I COME BACK? YES!

    Had a great experience at Sulga House of Beef Bone Soup…read more Their beef bone soup is simple, clean, and really solid, the kind of comfort food that just hits right for the soul. They currently have a great deal at $12, which makes it even better value for what you're getting. The sullungtang comes with rice, soup, and two types of kimchi. Service was friendly and efficient, and the whole experience felt easy and satisfying. Place was chill, not too overly crowded. I've noticed a lot of people ordering other dishes every time I go, so I'm definitely looking forward to trying more of the menu, but I keep coming back for the basics because it's just that good.

    Sulga was definitely THE place to be for a warm bowl of bone broth on a rainy night. My friend and…read moreI stopped by for doganitang (for two), and the portions were indeed large - for four. We also added beef brisket since my friend wasn't a big fan of cartilage - more for me! The pot itself wasn't too deep, though there was a good portion of protein cartilage. Also important to note that rice was NOT included! The brisket add on came as a pre-cooked brisket that was added in after, as it didn't initially fit in the pot. The staff member told us at the time that broth refills were free. However, when it came time for refills, they said it was only one time - poor communication. Paying was fairly straightforward, but for future visits, I'd likely just come for their lunch special sullongtang after this experience.
