    Pretty expensive and food is mediocre. I ordered the shakshuka. I usually love shakshuka and unfortunately it just tasted like tomatoes paste without much savory goodness

    Beet & Citrus Salad (V) (GF)

    I really wanted to give this a five star rating, I tried really hard, but I'm pushing it to give them a solid four stars tonight. Staff was great, friendly and efficient. The guy at the register didn't know what type of steak is in the steak dish (it's skirt steak). To me, knowing your menu is a basic 101 question at work. I debated between the steak dish and the barbecue blackened chicken and I ended up choosing the chicken. I envisioned a piece of chicken ... a whole piece of chicken. It advertises as gluten free so I didn't ask for it to be made gluten-free. Unfortunately, they put a piece of bread on top of my food without asking me. They did deliver it to my table, at which point I let them know that I had ordered the sweet potato fries and I was allergic to wheat. They did not remake the dish, they simply took the piece of bread off, and gave me some fresh sweet potato fries. Unfortunately, that really messed up the temperature of the food. By the time they brought it back, my chicken was cold, lukewarm at best, yet my sweet potato fries were piping hot and very good! It was unfortunately a mediocre experience. I'm giving extra credit for the guy who came up to answer the " what kind of steak is on the steak dish" question. He was helpful and friendly. Restaurant is 3.5 / 5 clean. The bathroom could really use attention. It needs deep cleaning, nothing that's recent. I don't think I'll be back yet it's a good option for a less expensive meal in the Burlingame area. This is a great, walkable town with lots of options to choose from!

    Sustainable Grilled Salmon, sub Greek salad
    Lauren P.

    While walking down Burlingame Ave, I was craving a healthy-ish meal for dinner. After a quick Yelp search, I found Urban Kitchen. I went with their Sustainable Grilled Salmon entree, and subbed the Urban Salad for their Greek Salad. My gosh, the meal was so delicious! The lemon oregano dressing paired perfectly on top of the crispy-edged piece of salmon. I was genuinely sad when I finished the salmon - it was that good. The super grains looked like a brown rice and quinoa mix, which was savory and chewy. The greek salad came with plenty of kalamata olives, crispy garbanzo beans, and creamy feta. I'll definitely be back for a healthy & flavorful meal.

    Such a great spot for kids--we had an amazing time! The chimichurri steak was a standout, and the charred Brussels sprouts and French fries were so good. We also tried the probiotic soda, which was a fun and refreshing addition!

    I was not the biggest fan but I also came for their brand-new brunch menu which may not have all the kinks ironed out yet so I may come back some other time and try their normal menu for lunch or dinner. We ordered the chicken & waffle, steak & eggs, as well as a salmon eggs benedict. I found all of these to be just OK, except for the chicken in the chicken & waffle which was actively unenjoyable due to being way over-breaded and also being mostly bread and not chicken. The breading also had some weird mochi-like/chewy texture which was not pleasant, so I'd say this was the weakest item we ordered. The hot honey syrup it came with went great with the waffle though. I also enjoyed the sweet potato fries, which though very unevenly seasoned appeared to be air-fried due to the lack of oil and were super crispy and tasty when I did get a piece that was salted properly.

    The food is yummy and healthy, I can tell - coffee and desserts aplenty. It's a bit hot if you eat indoors though so try to snag an outdoor table

    This was my first time I've been to urban kitchen and I got the kale Caesar salad and added steak as an add-on. It was a good Caesar salad - the croutons weren't soggy and it had the perfect amount of dressing/cheese on it. My only issue was the steak because some parts were a little tough and it also didn't have much flavor. Also it would be great if the bread on the side was toasted a little. But other than that, I enjoyed my meal! I like how the restaurant is self serve and is the perfect spot for a casual lunch date.

    Chicken Katsu
    Makena L.

    Great option if you want casual and healthy. Went on a Saturday afternoon, and there were plenty of seats. Salmon miso bowl - loved the sweet potatoes and salmon. The miso was good, but I'd recommend only pouring about half. Otherwise, your greens might drown in the sauce. Chicken katsu - I thought it had a great crisp! Service seemed friendly. You order at a register and they call your order to pick up once it's ready.

    Seth M.

    The chicken and waffles were very good! The waffle was very well made and the chicken was fresh and well fried! My girlfriend got the steak and eggs and the steak was so tender and juicy! They made the eggs perfect as well and it came with really good potatoes! The matcha tasted good and earthy as well! They were very nice by giving a dessert for the holidays as well! I recommend!

    Mission katsu sando
    Yang Q.

    Casual, order at the counter place serving a variety of grain bowls, salads, and sandwiches. I've been twice, and the food is decent but nothing that's made me crave returning. At our most recent visit, we got the steakhouse sandwich (grilled grass fed steak, arugula, pickled red onion, tomato, cheddar, caramelized onion jam, garlic aioli) and mission katsu sando (katsu chicken cutlet, ciabatta bread, pickled red onion, romaine, cilantro, black beans, cheddar, avocado, cumin lime crema). Flavor-wise, the steakhouse sandwich was good. The onion jam and garlic aioli were , but unfortunately the pieces of steak were unpleasantly chewy. If you took a bite with steak, you'd end up with the whole chunk in your mouth because it was difficult to bite off just a piece. And I personally thought the combo of chicken katsu and beans was weird so I wasn't a fan of that sandwich. Ciabatta was solid though. I can't remember what I got the first time I visited, but I remember thinking it was just okay then as well.

    We ventured to Burlingame to meet up with my wife & mother-in-law for a late lunch on a beautiful early August. Urban Kitchen is a bright, trendy, healthy place with counter service and amble seating inside and patio with several tables with umbrellas. I ordered the shushuka with bright crushed tomatoes, onions and egg dish. I have had many before and this was very. Very good! All our lunch selections were very fresh, colorful and very tasty! The staff was very friendly and attentive! Definitely will be back when desiring a quick, fresh, lunch offering in the future.

    Jordan L.

    Very good - surprisingly? Will definitely be back! They have some good variety and everything tastes fresh. My salmon wasn't too bad either. Portions are generous. Seating outside is nice. Staff are friendly! It's right in the heart of downtown Burlingame.

I was honestly shocked walking into the restaurant and seeing that they expanded into the neighboring brick and mortar space.

Huge credit to the sweet mother to be working the cashier register.

I ordered the Palermo, hot chocolate, orange juice, and the Siena sweet crepe with no strawberries. My fiancé had the omelette and the French toast order. Everything was perfect for our cravings and tasted so fresh and comforting. We will definitely be returning with our families to celebrate our little blessing to come.
