    We visited Urbane Cafe for the first time and overall had a nice experience. I ordered the steak bowl, and I liked the fresh ingredients and the concept. I'm giving 4 stars because some pieces of the steak were a little tough, and I personally would love to have more customization options for the bowls. I usually prefer being able to choose my own ingredients. For example, I enjoy white rice, but this bowl came with a different type of rice. I understand it's probably a healthier option and part of their menu style, but having a choice of rice, salad, or toppings would make the experience even better for me. Overall, it's a nice place with fresh food, and I would come back to try other menu items.

    Barbecue tri-tip on focaccia with a side salad, this is my favorite sandwich at this place

    An excellent meal. The cashier, I think a new guy, did an excellent job taking care of us. We ordered two salads, and Sam had a bowl of the enchilada soup. That soup was really delicious. My garlic sesame steak salad was just delicious as well. Topped it off with a chocolate chip cookie, fresh and excellent

    Fantastic healthy spot for salads. Great quality for the price and variety of lean protein and fresh ingredients. It is my go to in the area!

    Urbane Cafe offers a Pastrami Tri Tip Sandwich featuring pastrami-style tri tip, swiss cheese, remoulade aioli, housemade apple coleslaw, and bread & butter pickles, served with a side of golden mustard. It's a lighter take on the traditional pastrami sandwich, as it uses tri tip instead of brisket. Love that sandwich and ate it all

    Chimichurri Steak

    If you're looking for a quick and delicious lunch, I'd suggest coming to Urbane! They have delicious handmade focaccia that is their vessel for the delicious sandwich. I really enjoyed the chimichurri steak sandwich, it was very filling and the meat was super juicy and tender. I only was able to eat the half because of the delicious salad that accompanied the sandwich. The fountain drinks are SO good. I absolutely loved the lemonade and the watermelon juice. My partner picked the dragon fruit juice and it was also delicious. Staff is super friendly and very attentive. They greeted me as soon as I step foot on the property and was able to get a cookie fresh out of the oven! Ambiance is very chill and casual, perfect for lunch or an easy dinner. I highly reccomend coming here if you want an affordable bite.

    Plenty of free parking in the front! We were greeted with a smile and a welcome as we entered- an important part of service as that drives the initial impression of a restaurant. There was music bumping and once we entered, it felt like the quick bite type of dining. My friend and I ordered the Ahi salad and the UC bahn mi. I'm a big pork bahn mi fan so I was curious to try the chicken version! Though not quite on the same level, it was still pretty tasty!The only thing I would've liked is for the carrots to be more pickled. My friend really liked her tuna salad as well. The cookies were a bit too sweet for me, but tasted great- my favorite out of the 2 was the white chocolate cranberry cookie. Overall, a great experience and would come back to try other sandwiches!

    7/30/2025 - Since I did my first review on this location, this is my second time visiting here due to living far away from my home. I enjoyed the freshedly baked cooky that is delicious! My wife also enjoyed the salad. Keep going doing a great work for SFV.

    My Baja soup deserves a 5 stars review!!! Aww the corn and the chicken are definitely perfection. I always order this soup if it exists on the menu and this one is one the best I have ever tried let along the focaccia bread is so warm and fresh. The double chocolate cookie was so good. Not overly sweet at all. Love their indoor seatings all have hooks for hand bags too. Zach was greeting us and it was such a welcoming environment. We will be back in a heart beat

    Lovely food at a good price point. Got a combo. Everything was fresh and healthy. The staff was extremely helpful with entree suggestions. Clean, professional and well kept place!

    A great new addition to the fast food scene in Studio City! It's small, but cute and comfortable, with ample outdoor seating and parking (at least on Thursday at noon). Service, especially from Sarah, was extremely friendly and helpful! The food is fresh, healthy and delicious. Great drink options. too!

    came to this place for first time trying Service - nice staff working there, waiting time for food is about 15-20mins. Went there around dinner time. Ambiance - few seats inside the shop and small tables outside. The place is located in the crowded lot with other restaurants around; so, difficult to find parking during lunch or dinner times. Food - I ordered Chimichurri Steak Sandwich-$13.55, it was served with their urbane house side salad. They make their own -focaccia bread- for sandwiches which I thought was pretty cool and tasty too. I wish it could have more sauce in the sandwich as it was a bit dry. Overall, the place is pretty good and enjoyable!

    Delicious is definitely in the details! I was so excited to see that Urbane Cafe opened a location super close to me as the closest used to be Burbank. I've always loved their variety: sandwiches, bowls, salads, savory cookies (yes, savory!), and healthier drink options. There's something for everyone, and it's all crafted with intention. A little backstory: Urbane Cafe was founded in 2003 by Tom Holt, who saw a gap in Ventura's restaurant scene. He was after something different, something fresh, flavorful, and high quality. With a vision for great sandwiches and salads, he teamed up with his friend Pete to develop a hearth-baked bread recipe that's still used today. Everything is made with care...from locally sourced ingredients and house-roasted meats to handcrafted sauces that really bring each dish to life. On this visit, I ordered the Mediterranean Bowl with Salmon and it was so flavorful. It had mixed whole grain rice, marinated kale, roasted sweet potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled onions, garlic roasted red pepper hummus, tomato cucumber salsa and a lemon wedge. I always add a side of their peanut dressing for an extra kick (highly recommend!). Parking is a breeze with a couple free lots nearby and easy street parking. Prices are also great for the quality and portions. This really hit the sweet spot when it comes to value. Already looking forward to my next visit!

    my $20 lunch special turned into like 4 meals. GREAT value…read more i was craving korean home-style cooking and found this place. it's got affordable lunch specials under $20. i was really surprised at just how much food i received for just $20... giant plate of sizzinging. perfectly seasoned pork ribs & onions with a really nice char. a big cup of rice, a really great banchan spread with lots of variety, and a massive bowl of broth with such a great mild flavor to balance the spicy banchan and rich pork. it was phenomenal, cured my tummy ache, and immediately took me back to my trip to korea many years ago. i inhaled everything but there was so much food i ended up with a big takeout bag. i kid you not this one $20 meal has turned into like 4 meals for me. pork turned into lettuce wraps, rice fried and mixed with eggs , broth used to elevate a cheap ramen. i WILL be back. i wish i could have bought some of the banchan as an extra charge or something so i could take it home with me because im STILL dreaming of it. the inside has good a/c and a cute homely atmosphere. and the staff was incredibly kind and helped me choose what to eat and helped me pack up the broth once i was done eating. you can see the giant goblet of boiling broth in the kitchen as you eat. easy parking behind the restaurant and in the street.

    Suuper bummed about our experience today. We ordered the cold noodle & LA galbi combo as we always…read moredo, and a leek pancake as we weren't as hungry and the combo usually fills us up. Even when we ordered the food, the server said "that's it?" as if she was offended that we didn't order more food (lower sales?) I'm not sure if we misunderstood her attitude but that's kind of how it felt like. The quality and size went down and it was just... not good. This used to be my #1 spot for cold noodles but our other fav place was closed today so we decided to come here. As you can see, the size of the cold noodles became smaller. Everything was packed in this small bowl which made it harder to eat. I think they changed the noodles they use because it wasn't doing anything texture wise. It used to be chewy and had a good buckwheat flavor. The broth tasted.. like water with a splash of bone broth. The quality of galbi was also a disappointing as I feel like it's became less and the meat was burnt with more fat/chewy bits. The leek pancake was ok but again, comparing it to my picture from January, it was bigger in size and more dough-y. Service was decent previously but it felt a bit cold today. Again, super bummed because we still love this place but I probably won't be ordering their combo again. You can see in my pictures how often we used to order the cold noodles from here and you can compare the quality.

The space itself is cute, trendy, and modern, but according to my Korean friends, the food stays true to tradition -- which is exactly what you want from a place like this. There was a line when we got there, but it moved quickly -- and they came around to take our order while we were still waiting, so food came out fast once we sat down. I've had bossam before and always got cold, sliced meat -- not my thing. Here, it comes out hot, and the pork jowl was incredible. I genuinely could not stop eating it, so tender with that perfect grilled edge. They also start you off with a little bowl of barley rice (bori bap) as part of the banchan -- first time trying it and it was such a nice, unexpected touch. We also shared the chicken sujebi and it was pure comfort in a bowl. The hand-torn noodles were perfectly chewy and the broth was seasoned just right -- not too salty, just deeply savory. Heads up on parking: it's tough. I got lucky with street parking but it's only 1-hour limit, so keep an eye on the clock. The lot is valet only and looked chaotic when we pulled up, so budget extra time (and maybe cash) if you go that route. Honestly one of my favorite meals I've had in Koreatown, and a great spot to bring visitors -- my friends loved it too. Already planning my next visit to work through the rest of the menu. Highly recommend, especially if you love Korean comfort food done right.

The service is attentive, even when busy. We arrived shortly after they opened at 10 AM, and by 11:30 AM, there was a line outside. This place truly delivers! We ordered two popular dishes, including the Chicken Kalguksu (knife-cut noodles with chicken, squash, kabocha, potato, and dates in chicken and anchovy broth) and the Hangari Bossam (medium, boiled and tender pork belly with cabbage leaves and kimchi). The Chicken Kalguksu was a highlight with its thick, chewy noodles and creamy broth. The squash was a delicious addition - comforting and warm, a must-order! The Hangari Bossam (medium) was perfect for sharing, and the tender pork belly was amazing with the cabbage and kimchi. I especially enjoyed it with the jalapeños; it's the best of both worlds, melting in your mouth! We left feeling full and happy, already looking forward to our next visit. This is a must-try in Ktown!

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.
