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

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

Ahi salad

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
Elba G.

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.

Moroccan Jewel Chicken

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!

Sandwich and Salad Menu

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!

I had a coupon to buy a sandwich or salad and get the 2nd entree for free; and also a coupon to get a free cookie and lemonade which was an excellent deal. My whole meal came out to $15.09! With that being said, I didn't want the coupon to expire. It was until the end of the this month. So I went to UC today around 4pm and was greeted by a very nice lady name Michelle. She was sweet, kind, friendly, helpful with a nice smile. She helped me decide what to get since I had the coupon and we came to an agreement. I got their Chicken Pesto Sandwich which came with sun dried tomatoes, Mozzarella Cheese, Arugula, & Vegenaise. (vegan mayo). and for my free entree, I got their salmon salad that was filled with lots of good, healthy vegetables.( People eat healthy in this wonderful Cafe:-))). The Salmon salad was glazed. Came with chopped salad mix, mixed greens, edamame, diced jicama, mango salsa, sesame seeds with dressing. Everything tasted super fresh & delicious!! One minus thing for me is that my chicken sandwich was VERY SALTY! Michelle said it was the bread, not the chicken. The lemonade that I chose was this tasty lemonade called AGUAFRESCA. A bit sweet, but I enjoyed it. They had 2 other flavors of lemonade: regular yellow & watermelon lemonade. Also different kind of fountain drinks/sodas, ice tea and bottled drinks infront of the register with 3 different kind of cookies for people like me who almost always have a sweet tooth. Place was cute, cozy, clean, had a nice patio, great vibes/music, ambiance, full of people eating inside and outside. I sat inside. And great customer service! However, I had to run to the bathroom, and it was not clean at all. The floor was wet, toilet was not flushed, I had to flush it before I used it, and the trash was full. I told Michelle, that your bathroom needs attention. She said we were busy and I said, but it is part of your job and she apologized. I don't want to dock a star for that, but hopefully next time when I go there the bathroom will be spotless clean. Overall, I had a great dining experience at Urban Cafe. Keep up the good work and always be CONSISTENT! Thank you Michelle, and management.

Jinsol is a cozy, down-to-earth restaurant with the sweetest aunties as servers. I recently visited…read morewith my family for my mom's birthday. We started with a tasty leek pancake. My mom and I ordered the short rib soup, which was flavorful and delicious. We were pleasantly surprised by the added greens. My siblings ordered the pork soup, which was packed with umami. We arrived at 6:30pm on a Saturday. By 7pm it was packed. Free parking was a plus!

Of the 15 different naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles) I've tried in Koreatown, Jinsol stands…read morealone at the top. Firstly, the restaurant staff is so warm and inviting. The space is clean and tidy. The environment really had me missing Seoul. And what better way to comfort a heart yearning for home, than authentic Korean food. The homemade buckwheat noodles have the perfect chewiness to breakage ratio that you'll go absolutely crazy for. I prefer the spicy naengmyeon because they've hit that delicate balance of heat and flavor that perfectly compliment the natural sweetness of the noodles. For anyone looking for a hearty meal, I'd recommend the combo, you get the cold noodles and an order of beef short ribs pork or chicken for about $30. My brother is a bodybuilder, so he goes for the Bibimbop (hot stone bowl with rice veggies and protein) and I'm guilty of stealing a few bites from his plate. The banchan has a freshness you can taste in every dish. If you're like me and in need of quality homemade kimchee, look no further. Everything at Jinsol Gukbap reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. The amount of care that goes into preparing these meals really shines through. The balance of flavors is so deliberate, I can't call this a humble comfort food restaurant. The folks at Jinsol are true masters of their craft and I can say with confidence I'll be coming back again and again and again

It's probably due to them taking your order while in line so that almost as soon as you sit down your food arrives. The banchan was really good especially the green one which I think was mustard greens. We order the Bossam (medium) and Spicy Seafood Kalguksu The Bossam was delicious but maybe a bit too much fat for my taste but I think that's just personal preference. What totally blew us away was the spicy seafood kalguksu. The broth was so savory and the noodles were silky and bouncy. Definitely getting this again but my hubby might do his with extra spice. The portions are huge so meant to be shared and you will have leftovers. The only thing they were stingy with was napkins. I might have to bring my own Kleenex next time.

Love Kalguksu? This is a MUST visit if you're in K-Town! Parking is available via valet, though you…read moremay be lucky finding street parking too a few / several blocks away. There is also the option to visit H Mart and get validation with a purchase there, of course. Try to come towards the beginning / end of dinner service, because coming during rush hour may result in a 30-45 minute wait - very worth the wait, though! My friend and I visit on occasion and enjoy their Clam Kalguksu, which is a dish you may not find at other Kalguksu places. The clams are always fresh, clean and free of sand. I'm always impressed with how well they can mask the clamminess and taste of the sea with the spices in this dish. Their other dishes like bossam and chicken porridge. The bossam is decent, though I wouldn't recommend the chicken porridge. The chicken porridge gets thick and dry fairly easily. If you don't enjoy it fast, it will become a chore to eat! During rush hour, you may also need to get your own utensils / ladle because the staff may forget. Plan also to eat fast, too, because they may subtly rush you with the bill... after all, they do often get lines out the door!

They currently have a great deal at $12, which makes it even better value for what you're getting. The sullungtang comes with rice, soup, and two types of kimchi.

I've noticed a lot of people ordering other dishes every time I go, so I'm definitely looking forward to trying more of the menu, but I keep coming back for the basics because it's just that good.

We also added beef brisket since my friend wasn't a big fan of cartilage - more for me! The pot itself wasn't too deep, though there was a good portion of protein cartilage. 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.
