    Beef & mushroom braise, but not one piece of beef in it. Pretty disappointed.
    Denise C.

    Beef & mushroom braise. Came out quickly, which was nice, but LITERALLY not one piece of beef in it. Was pretty disappointed.

    Grilled Cage Free Chicken
    Bailey C.

    Wow YUM!! I came here for the first time recently, and I had such a wonderful experience. I love the order system. It's like fast casual but still feels like a sitdown restaurant. All of our food was so good! I got the steak plate and my friend got the grilled chicken! Both were so good. The service was super quick and everyone was very friendly Also super clean!! Can't wait to come back and try more:)

    Plate with Grilled Organic Tofu w. chili glaze, Herb Roasted Marble Potatoes, and Harissa Lime Cauliflower
    Erin H.

    I thought this place was great! Order at the counter, then go seat yourself. Cashier was nice, food came out fairly quickly, and the servers were super nice. I think this is high value for the quality. I did a plate with tofu, cauliflower, and the roasted potatoes, and the total before tax and tip was like $14-$15. For the quality of food, I thought that was super reasonably priced. It honestly has a nice ambiance too, esp this one, cuz it's in the heart of a cute little shopping center with tons of young families. Would def come again! I think they validate parking too (I parked in a street spot nearby so not totally sure but that's what other reviews said.)

    Soy-yus joy followed by bad and sad soggy yeaster years. Their tofu side is delightful! Fragrant and smokey, texture so delicate, yet firm. Sauce was impeccable - did I add a little hot pepper? Yes, but that's just because I'm a spicy mouse. However... their bread? I know this was takeaway, and I'll try and revamp it in my air fryer, but I was sour-dough-ly disappointed. Must have smelled nice though because my nugget of a pup seemed keen.

    Chicken Sandwich
    Erik G.

    I've never been to this location, but my coworker picked up some sandwiches, and they were quite good. I particularly liked the chicken and steak sandwiches. The bread had a nice chew and was very soft, just how I like it. I'd definitely eat these sandwiches again and hope to have the opportunity to eat here in person if I'm ever in the area.

    Delicious healthy food farm to table , excellent service , great ambiance, clean and love fire pits.

    blackened salmon with cauliflower and yellow jasmine rice.
    Mike M.

    this place always makes dishes to perfection. their blackened salmon was so flavorful. perfect lunch spot in a relaxing setting.

    Chopped Caesar salad, as packed - unaltered, except for I moved the bread and the side of dressing to the other side.
    J S.

    I don't know what's going on with them, but I used to get salads all the time and now at this location the salads are hilariously and depressingly small. Sharing in case you also want to pay full price for an adult salad and get a Child salad instead.

    We absolutely love Urban Plates! The food is consistently delicious and healthy, offering a cafeteria-style experience that's both casual and inviting. You place your order, take a number, and then watch as your meal is brought right to you. You'll get your own silverware, and you can carry your drinks to your table, making it feel comfortable and relaxed. No matter what, the food is always, always excellent. My daughter adores it--since it's close to LMU campus--and whenever we visit her, Urban Plates is always at the top of our list. The prices are comparable and not too high. #KeepGoingOAM

    Came here on a Saturday night after the beach. U can find street parking and save your money than the huge garage. Got recommended the blackened salmon and brussel sprouts by my friend and it did The sauce on the salmon definitely gave a different but still great taste I'm goin to have to come back here if they're always this generous. First dropping off a sampler of cake then some kind of coconut water. Got you feeling like their favorite customer

    Needed some food stat and was nearby this location. Stopped in since I'm a yearly pass member, might as well take advantage of the 20% off. Without the discount it's actually really pricey. Parking lot is not free but if you drop in Whole Foods you can validate for an hour. Sat outside, was a bit chilly so took advantage of the fire pit seats. Nice ambiance staring at cars driving by into the parking lot as I ate my food and daydreamed with the flickering flames. The beet salad and mashed potatoes were very good. The steak was not medium rare as I'd liked but was very tender.

    Chimichurri Grass Fed Steak
    Vanessa D.

    Pretty good! I love how there are so many options even for the steak. Ordered the chimichurri steak. I thought they were slightly skimpy on the chimichurri but otherwise cooked perfectly (medium rare). The potatoes were so underwhelming and I like mine to be on the softer side, these weren't. I got a side Caesar salad which was nothing to ride home about. I've been to urban plate in Sunnyvale. It's a predictable spot but nothing insanely amazing about it. Loads of seating outside which is nice.

    What are great Vegan options?

    They have tofu curry braise, vegan soup, and other hot and cold sides, and a vegan matcha vanilla cake dessert.

    Where is Parking?

    The parking structure is located within the same plaza. Urban plates validates parking for up to 90 minutes with a purchase. Not sure what the minimum purchase amount is though.

Unfortunately, between an ordering mix-up and a pretty underwhelming sandwich, the experience didn't live up to expectations. The space itself is great--bright, casual, and inviting, with a cool, laid-back vibe that makes it a nice spot to sit and hang out for a bit. It definitely has that neighborhood café feel that draws you in. I ordered the avo TLT and swapped the bread for a baguette. We grabbed a table, and since it was fairly busy, we ended up waiting about 20 minutes for our food, which was totally fine. When the sandwiches finally came out, my husband's order was correct, but mine was completely wrong--I was given a turkey and cheddar sandwich instead of the vegan option I ordered. When we went back up to the counter, it seemed like the mistake came from the order being entered incorrectly. Things happen, so no big deal--but what was frustrating was having to wait another 15 minutes for the replacement. It felt like my corrected order was just placed at the back of the line instead of being prioritized. Unfortunately, the sandwich itself didn't make up for the wait. The flavor was pretty one-note, with the avocado overpowering everything else. The tempeh was sliced so thin it was barely noticeable, which made the whole thing feel a bit lacking, especially for something meant to be a more substantial vegan option. Overall, it was a disappointing visit. The space is cute and has a lot of potential, but between the mix-up and the lack of flavor, it's not somewhere I'd return.

I got: - Chicken Bites (spicy soy) - 12 pcs Drumsticks (half spicy soy half honey butter) - Waffle Fries - Classic Taco A lot of time at restaurants nowadays, the portions are quite small. Something like "chicken bites" sounds like something that would get you half full. Not so at BTC. I was barely able to eat half the chicken bites before I was full. That's when I realized I had ordered way too much food. This ended up lasting me 3-4 days, which I appreciate. BTC has very good portions and price value which caught me off guard. As far as the food itself, the chicken bites were just decent. Same with the drumsticks. Overall, they were good but not great in terms of flavor, a little bit plain, but did not have any major problems. The waffle fries were good. And I wouldn't order the taco again, it just didn't really feel like normal mexican food to me. Overall, I enjoyed BTC, but the food is not that remarkable. I would give it a 3 for OK, but I could see it getting extra points for pure value and quantity of food which is rare in this day and age.

It somehow tasted like if a French dip and a bowl of pho had a baby, which sounds insane, but it was so so good. The Wagyu was ridiculously flavorful, and with the onions and jalapeños, every bite had that perfect mix of richness & freshness. I have to say, it was a little messy to eat, but I inhaled it in like five minutes. It comes with a pho broth on the side and that's what really sent me over the edge.

I ended up basically destroying my chicken just to get salty breading part off. Without the breading the chicken was honestly pretty good. It's just way too salty with it on in my opinion. I did love the mini mart side to this place. They have all kinds of snacks, alcohol, and non alcoholic beverages to choose from. I ended up getting an apple soda drink from Taiwan and it was so good! Might be back to check out the other food they offer but after this experience I'm honestly kinda scared that I'll end up with more super salty things.
