    Cute place, easy to order. Met a colleague for lunch, easy there's a parking garage across the street. Plenty of options to choose from and so easy to order from the table. Prices are as expected. I ordered the salad but the lettuce should have been checked, some pieces have seen better days. And that's the reason they get only 3 stars. Check your ingredients for $22 of a salad I don't want to get half dead pieces of lettuce I will say the seared tuna salad as good and a nice portion too

    Grilled BBQ Pork Ribs
    William H.

    TLDR - 5/5 for the ribs only, 3/5 for the steak. Shockingly good ribs... had to commend them. My girlfriend asked me to take her to urban plates and I was rolling my eyes because I've had it in college in San Diego where it is basically upscale quick service food, not quite sit down not quite fast food. But let me tell you how shocked I was when I tried their bbq ribs. I literally had my jaw drop when I tried pulling apart the first rib and the entire bone almost came clean off. The meat was juicy, tender, and had the right amount of fat and seasoning. hot take but I swear these ribs were better than some places I've been that specialized in bbq.. I enjoyed my ribs so much I went into flow state and ignored my girlfriend who offered me some of her food. I eventually tried some of her chimichurri steak and yeah... it was mid just like I remember in college. Not bad, serviceable.

    Chicken Tortilla Soup
    Christina S.

    I really enjoyed this place and it was on a whim that we stopped by to check it out. We spent the day in Santana Row shopping and my kids wanted something to eat. My daughters chose this place after visiting the other restaurants nearby and peeping menus. This one appealed to them so we went inside. We waited in line to order and then took our number to find a booth to sit at. Service was quick and our food arrived shortly after. The salad was so good with a mixture golden and red beets. My son finished his whole bowl of the chicken tortilla soup. Both my daughters devoured their bacon cheeseburgers with fries. My husband sipped on the cantaloupe mango drink and said it was refreshing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside it was comfy with booths and tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean atmosphere and nice servers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will come back again!

    Grilled steak with brussels sprouts, quinoa, and truffle aioli (bottom) + glazed tofu with sesame broccolini and mushrooms (top)
    Yuki K.

    Service was fast - we ordered, found a table, and the food came within 10 minutes. The sides were flavorful and well-made but the proteins were a bit disappointing. The steak I ordered took a while to chew through and the chili glazed tofu (vegetarian) my mom ordered was just a firm block that might not have been marinated for long enough. I'd probably just get a sides plate next time or try the beef braise soup.

    Grassfed steak with sides.

    4.5 rounded to 5 [[HIGHLIGHT]]For a casual place located on Santana Row, Urban Plates actually exceeded my expectations, which were influenced by my previous experiences of Santana Row.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can order at the front counter near the entrance or use the QR code on the table (or the website) to do so. I chose to order from the table since I was waiting for the rest of the party. The website is straightforward and easy to use, and note there is a subscription available for frequent diners to purchase that enables them to order menu items with a noticeable discount. We tried the grassfed steak (with fries and caesar salad (extra $1 for that option) and the pork ribs (half rack). The steak was ok but I felt it needed some additional seasoning (chimichurri is $1 extra, and can be ordered either as an add-on or through the separate menu option of chimichurri grassfed steak). Keep in mind that grassfed beef will usually taste different from beef raised or finished on grains. I don't think I would order the steak again. The pork ribs though earned a high rating for the restaurant. Note that this is listed as a seasonal item but I hope they make it a permanent part of the menu, as I would return for it. The meat is very tender, you can say it falls off the bone. The sauce is all right and rather sweet; I actually think the ribs didn't need as much sauce on them, and the sauce on the side was more than enough. The two sides a friend ordered for his pork ribs plate were brussel sprouts w/balsamic dressing and carrots and beets, and he liked both. The pork ribs can be ordered by themselves as a protein side; if you order the pork ribs plate with an extra side of ribs, that's about a full rack and comparable to a full rack plate that you would get at the bbq places around here, and the ribs at Urban Plates are comparable in taste, if not better. A friend's ice tea order was a bit late but eventually brought to the table, but only after we had already asked the young lady who brought our food the table about it and she had brought one to the table for us. Great customer service and attentiveness from her. (The staff taking orders at the front counter take care of drink orders.) [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are three bathrooms; the one I used was ok though the toilet could have been cleaned. I don't know how often the bathrooms are serviced. The faucet can be tricky as the sensor is located on the wall and you may need to wave your hand in front of it at a closer distance than you would think necessary.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is a good, (more) economical dining option at Santana Row. (Though fountain beverages will be at Santana Row prices.) It is a nice casual place for eating and hanging out with friends if it's not too busy, but keep in mind that parking at Santana Row is free for only the first two hours.

    Grilled Steak Salad as it came from the restaurant.
    Stacy C.

    Had a grilled steak salad delivered for lunch. In the picture of the salad on the DoorDash menu, the steak looks nicely cooked medium rare. When I received my salad, most of the pieces were well-done with a few medium. It was disappointing. There is an option to select well-done when ordering, but I didn't select it. The salad itself was pretty unexciting, too, with just mixed greens and coconut roasted cashews. That was partly my fault because I had them hold the mango salsa and jicama. I added red onions and avocado from my own kitchen and that helped liven it up. I also discovered if I dipped the steak in the salad dressing it tasted better. The salad dressing was honey Dijon, but it tasted more like thousand island. That's okay, I like thousand island. The best part of the salad was the coconut roasted cashews. Wow, they were delicious. I don't think I'll order that again for delivery. If I have it again, it will be in person so I can send it back if the steak is well-done. DoorDash gave me a partial refund this time.

    My lunch: Seared Wild Ahi Tuna (well done)
    Kay O.

    This was my first time at this particular urban plates at Santana Road. I've been to the one in Sunnyvale a handful of time. All I really wanted was hummingbird cake and some coffee but I knew I needed something more substantial for lunch. Lol so I got the Aji seared tuna and had it well done. I got a side of mushrooms and country potatoes. To my surprise the country Potatoes had blue as well as Yukon gold and regular potatoes in the mixture! Wow! I was very impressed!! The server was incredibly polite with us since my girlfriend and I were meeting up after not hanging out for two years and we couldn't figure out what we wanted! Once we got our food, everything tasted delicious and my girlfriends like their salad and sandwich sandwiches. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was very open and friendly. Everything was clean and very well organized![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wouldn't mind coming back here again for lunch. I definitely loved the hummingbird cake as well as the giant slice they gave me!! Needless to say I ate the whole hummingbird cake and took my lunch to go. Lol.

    Grilled chicken plate
    Da Kat A.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is spacious with many tables. There are seating outside the restaurant as well[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Came here for a late lunch with a friend. There was no line, however, the two workers at the front just ignored us while they were busy working behind the counter. We waited for about 10 mins before someone acknowledged us and asked if we were ready to order. Not good customer service to begin with. We ordered the Grilled Chicken plate (with chimichurrii sauce) and the Roasted Barramundi Seabass plate. The grilled chicken is moist and the chimichurri sauce is very good. For the harrisa lime cauliflower, it's a bit too salty and too much lime. The roasted brussel sprouts with balsamic glaze is pretty good. My friend said the roasted barramundi seabass is good but the rainbow carrots and golden beets side dish is greasy. It's pretty pricey for the portion size. For adding a side of protein to a salad (that doesn't come with any protein) such as grilled chicken, it's another $10 that is expensive. The price you pay is like eating at a full service restaurant.

    Amanda V.

    Very slow service to order, even when other people were not ahead of me and I visited in between peak lunch and dinner hours. That said, the kitchen was quick to bring our food out once we sat down. Menu had a great variety of items. Everything we ate tasted fresh and well seasoned. I would come back!

    The steaks are yummy but portions are small, don't forget to get chimichurri because it's adds a lot of flavors to the steaks. Healthy plates!

    Grilled Grass Fed Steak Sandwich
    Michelle N.

    Came with friends on a Wednesday around 7:30pm and we were able to place our orders right away at the front. Urban Plates is located in Santana Row among many other food spots, and parking was easy to find in one of the nearby garages. Despite how lively Santana Row usually is, Urban Plates felt quiet and chill as soon as we walked in. The space was clean, spacious, and warmly lit, which made it a comfortable place to dine. The menu offers a wide variety of options, including soups and salads, American-style plates and bowls, and sandwiches. There's also a cute display of desserts at the front. I ordered: the Grilled Grass-Fed Steak Sandwich: steak was cooked nicely, well-seasoned, and served with perfectly toasted bread and chips on the side. Nothing fancy, but clean, good, and simple. Overall, Urban Plates is a solid spot for a relaxed, no-frills meal at Santana Row.

    Tried Urban Plates take-out when planning a movie night, glad to find a new solid option! * Location: Indoor & outdoor seating, order at cashier firsr or place your mobile order. Restaurant is in Santana Row, pick parking garage of your choice for easy access. * Online order was easy, pick-up was super fast & efficient. Food was packaged very practically (ex: fries in a sealed box to keep them crispy). We tried the tomato soup, portobello mushroom sandwich, & chicken tenders. All fresh-tasting (nothing too heavy or greasy), good flavors, & solid meals without tasting like fast food. Looking forward to trying more dishes next time!

    I ordered it on DoorDash and I'm so incredibly impressed. The food was amazing, everything was flavorful, and tasted healthy too. The quality was amazing. I will definitely be getting again.

I walked in, relieved to discover it was a poke spot, and decided to have lunch there. I ordered a bowl with white rice as my base and two proteins: tuna and yellowtail. To my surprise, I could add five toppings, so I went with crab meat, mango, cucumber, edamame, and scallions. I don't recall the exact sauces or sprinkles they put on, but the bowl was enormous--which explained the nearly $30 price tag! I grabbed a seat by the window overlooking the parking lot. The chair was a bit snug, but I didn't mind as I dug into my fresh, flavorful poke bowl. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. The staff member helping me was new, shadowed by the manager as he assembled my order, but he did a great job! After another grueling 90-minute Bikram Yoga session, I debated between returning here or grabbing Taco Bell, which was much cheaper and in the same shopping center. Despite the price difference, I chose the healthier option. Since the restaurant was packed and I was eager to get home, I decided to order to go. This time, a young woman helped me build a bowl with half purple rice and half white rice. Purple rice is a highly nutritious whole grain, so I was eager to try it. It had a ougher texture to chew than white or brown rice, but I still enjoyed my lunch. For protein, I chose tuna and spicy tuna. I rattled off a long list of toppings before realizing I'd already hit the five-topping limit. I wished I could swap one of the mangoes out, but instead, I paid the extra $1.25 for an additional topping. The young woman was efficient, and I was out of there in no time. Overall, I'm a fan of this restaurant. I can definitely see myself coming back after future Bikram Yoga sessions in the 'torture chamber.'

Our family of three each chose our bowls and watched with amazement how it would fill the grains and other bowl components in the robot style assembly. Our bowls were finished up by someone that added the additional touches. Each of us loved the flavor combinations on our bowls. I love that it had the macros on there so we could choose the best option for our nutrition needs. The trash was a bit full and definitely needed attending and I wasn't crazy about the basically no interaction from the staff. It just felt kind of cold but the food and concept are pretty awesome. We'd love it if you made it to "off strip" areas of Las Vegas.

Not all the dishes here are five stars, but if you know what you're doing, it's five stars. I prefer the five-spice fried chicken bento box. It seems like they vary a little, the vegetables, depending on what's in season or what they got, but it generally always tastes good. I really like the Taiwanese cabbage. It's flavored well and salty, but not too salty. I would totally skip the pork belly unless you just love eating fat. I find that it is pretty much all fat and very little actual pork meat. The beef brisket stew is a hit or miss. Sometimes it is also too fatty, and once in a while, it is okay. Probably safer to stay away and just go with the five-spice fried chicken. The bento boxes are a better bang for the buck. The other dishes like bowls are much smaller. I also really like the sausage on the side. Yum, Taiwanese sausage.
