    Quick update as my last review was 3 years ago. Since my last review, the interior of the restaurant has slightly changed, different chairs and different wall art. Everything was modern and clean. I ordered a Tofu Bahn Mi to go. It was prepared and packaged quickly and delicious as usual. Service was good.

    Love urbane. A classic local spot to grab a good healthy bite. The service is great , shoutout to mike and gil. I ordered the ahi salad which was delicious but I didn't ask for no cilantro (I hate cilantro) but none the less its a lovely spot with nice ambience. I think the prices are fair for the good food you get. The passion iced tea is my favorite!

    I used to love Urbane Cafe. I don't know what happened in the quality / prep of their food since then, but I ordered a sandwich and something sharp scratched the side of my mouth. I was shocked to see a piece of metal that I spit out. As much as I used to love Urbane, I will not be returning back here.

    Fresh Focaccia Bread, continuously being made on site
    Peter M.

    Urbane Cafe, predominantly a sandwich shop, has developed a unique approach to serving this most cherished item. While most establishments use the standard bread, yes maybe with different types, Urbane goes another route. Their main show is sandwiches made of freshly baked discs of focaccia bread (and you can see them being prepared). This time, I had the hunger for the "Club". Essentially, as advertised, it contains Roasted turkey, Applewood-smoked bacon, avocado, cheddar cheese, sliced tomato, green leaf lettuce, herb aioli. Served with Urbane Side Salad. While the accompanying salad was fresh, the sandwich was below par. I am going to be candid, so please do not misunderstand. Anytime there is bacon touted in a menu item, the eatery should deliver. In this case, it fell way short. A few limp pieces that hardly were noticeable or tasted. And therefore, disappointed the taste buds, the brain and the stomach. In addition, I felt the sandwich lacked a fresh taste and vibrancy. Or maybe here, I made the wrong sandwich choice.

    Chimichurri Steak
    Eric P.

    Stopped by for a quick bite and had a Chimichurri Steak tri tip steak sandwich. It was nice out so we ate in the outdoor patio. Very nice and clean. Staff was very nice. The Chimichurri is pretty good. Flavor is a little more subtle than the pastrami (my go to) but in a good way. And it goes well with the salad. A sweet and savory combo. Thank you!

    issue I had Friday with this hard sharp piece of bone, or plastic that I bit down on but I'm being treated like I'm in the wrong here.

    Estela from guest relations did put the rewards onto my correct account. She was very helpful and kind.

    Ahi tuna salad
    Tora M.

    Nutrient dense is not a bad thing! When I'm going for a healthier dining option- I'll stop by here. Easy parking, order ahead, pick up or eat in - all super convenient, flavorful and good for you! I go for the Salmon Bowl ($13.95) which is 745 calories and has: glazed salmon, mixed whole grain rice, marinated kale, edamame, lemon wedge and a sweet aioli drizzle atop the fish. Virtuous and yummy. They'll give you a piece if their famous focaccia bread too...(unless you say, "No"). Other favorites include the Mediterranean Bowl (675 calories), the Seared Ahi Tuna Bowl (540 calories), the Power Veggie Salad (305 cal) & the Keto Cobb (280 cal). Comfy, wood-toned decor, friendly employees and a clean restroom! What more could you ask for?

    Turkey Club Sandwich
    Melissa O.

    I appreciate a sandwich with good bread and Urbane Cafe has exactly that. They make their focaccia bread in store, daily. Their ingredients are fresh and they're pretty consistent. My go-to order is a turkey club and whichever Fresca or lemonade is available when I'm there (they're all so good, sometimes it's hard to choose). This location is conveniently located near csun. I think it's a great alternative to the fast food options nearby.

    Pesto & Sundried Tomato Sandwich with salad.
    Shik P.

    Great lunch experience and excellent customer service at Urbane Cafe, Reseda Blvd location. The staff here is very welcoming and provided excellent customer service. The eatery is clean. A young lady is constantly cleaning and picking up plates and trays. She also offered to take ours. She was so sweet. She was also the person that brought our food to our table. This eatery has plenty of tables and chairs for dining inside as well as outside. The place is spacious and a good size. The outside patio seating is a good size and the area is very clean. We ordered the Pesto & Sundried Tomato sandwich with salad and Pastrami Tri Tip sandwich with salad. The Pesto & Sundried Tomato sandwich has roasted chicken, basil pesto, sundried tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, arugula and vegenaise. It's very fulfilling and the chicken portions are just right. Love that it's chicken breast and not over cooked. The Pastrami Tri Tip sandwich has pastrami tri tip style with swiss cheese, remoulade aioli, housemade apple coleslaw, bread and butter pickles, served with a side of Golden Mustard. Pastrami is on point and flavorful. Found our go to for quick nutritious and delicious sandwiches that have farm fresh ingredients.

    Southwest Santa Maria BBQ Chicken Salad
    Marie C.

    Great first visit! Brock was cashier who answered all our questions and was patient and had great customer service skills. I had the Southwest BBQ salad and it was amazing. The presentation was great and tasted the same. Gil brought out our order and was kind and professional. He said he prepared our meals and took great care in doing so. My friend mentioned the warm cookies they had so that was a no brainer. One chocolate chip, please. It was a real treat, not too sweet. This locations decor was warm with wood tables and chairs. The walls are glass and the natural lighting gave a rustic charm to the place. I will definitely be back for the seasonal menu.

    The Cafe Salad
    Jenn H.

    I don't know why I don't come here more often. This is only my 3rd time here. I have loved everything I've tried. Today I got the Cafe salad. Brock at the register was super nice and patient with all our questions. During dinner he even took our order for more focaccia bread and brought it to our table. Gil who made our salad and brought it to the table was the best. Took pride in his work and checked on us a couple of times. The restaurant was clean and well kept. When I took my dirty dishes to the trash, I didn't see any other dishes piled up. They were very attentive in keeping everything orderly. Now that I know about their rewards program, I'll definitely come back more often.

    Alexis M.

    I come here pretty often! Love their portobello sandwich, pastrami sandwich as well as the chimichurri one! When I'm not in a sandwich mood, I get their salmon plate which is very filling and healthy. The salads are good too, I always ask for extra mandarins. Can't forget the chocolate chip cookie - it always hits the spot.

The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and very welcoming. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal and unwind.

    How can a business with great and unique food and good workers get 1 star and If I could give it 0…read morei would? Here is how: I have been coming to this place since it soft opened late 2023. Over the years, the place has a good customer base for good reason. The issue is that they are ALWAYS understaffed. Don't let the hiring sign on their door fool you. Owership intentionally understaffs even when they have people hired to cut cost. They are so understaffed that customers wait over an hour on average to be seated during typical dining hours on WEEKENDS with half the restaurant seating capacity available and unused. Then ordering, the staff is so busy that they do not take in restaurant orders and ask the people seated in the restaurant to place online orders for pickup which also forces you 5o pay gratuity upfront unless you carey cash which most people no logner do then take their receipt to the cashier. Then you have the issue of this rule being selectively enforced. The staff seems to pick and choose who is forced into placing an order online vs who is not. Today we arrived at the restaurant around 6:20pm. Despite half empty, we were seated around 7:45. 10 minutes later of not being aknowledged, i wave a familaor face and he tells me that it would likely be faster if we place the order online. The order was placed by 7:57. it should order compelte by 8:28 but by 8:38 our food had not arrived. i get frustrated and ask what seemed to be staff that was already frustrated where the food is and before i even get to the part that it shows online our food was already served, he tells me: Dude, we are really busy. it will come out when its ready. a few minutes later the food came out and i asked the person bringing the food who us the manager. he said he was and i told him the situation. he took full accountability and even offered a refund saying he recognized we were regulars. i said i recognized him too and said I will not accept a refund. It is not fair to make food for people and not get paid but I told him that that someone whether it was him, the manager before he took over the shift, or ownership is accountable. This type of experience and standard of service is horrible for a business. He kept apologizing snd isnisted on a refund to his credit. I refused but thanked him for the courtesy. I made sure that above all, respect for customers should be prioritized when other service variables fall short. its the one thing that can mitigate this type of feedback and the one person that tipped this in the wrong direction leading to this review was the last straw that broke the camels back. But to be clear this is not a one incident occurence. This is the third and likely final time I come to Tasty Pot.

I don't eat pork, but I'm okay with pork broth, so I asked if I could substitute the pork chashu for chicken. What I received instead was popcorn chicken, which was unexpected and not at all what I had in mind. There was no communication that this would be the substitute, which made it even more frustrating. On top of that, I was still charged for it without any clarification beforehand. Transparency goes a long way, especially when making substitutions. Overall, between the lackluster flavor and the confusing substitution, it just didn't feel like a thoughtful or well-executed experience.
