    i love their Santa Maria Salad and i needed something fresh so why not stop by this location. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We placed our order for dine in. The food came out fast. My salad was perfect, my kids ordered a cheese pizza & grilled sandwich. We had to get their famous warm cookies. so yummy. The store is clean and it is not to noisy.

    I had a great experience! The inside of the restaurant is very clean and welcoming. The cashier was very kind and our food was served quickly. I ordered a grilled sesame steak bowl and it was delicious!!

    Garlic Sesame Steak Bowl

    Urbane has been our go to for years and fuels my love for fresh focaccia bread. I love trying their seasonal bowls to change things up and the garlic sesame steak was great. Very refreshing and flavorful play on a Korean bowl. The kimchi cucumbers and seasoned kale really complement the bowl. Fresh focaccia on the side is always a must. My wife always gets the southwest bowl, and it never disappoints. We love how balanced the bowls and sandwiches are here. This place is usually busy so I tend to place an online order so I'm not waiting too long. Busy is great for this kind of place because the ingredients are always fresh. Staff is always super friendly and helpful. Once in a while we'll dine in and enjoy the option to sit outside. See you soon!

    Portobello sandwich and salad
    Melinda L.

    Discovered this cafe by searching for "fast food " after leaving a Dr appointment at Roscoe and Reseda. Can't believe I have never seen this place. The restaurant is attractive and clean and the music is NOT too loud. It's a very pleasant environment for meeting someone for lunch. Plenty of options for meat lovers and vegetarian eaters alike. The prices are very reasonable and portion size is just right. I had the portabello sandwich which came with a side salad. It was perfectly cooked, savory and delicious. The bread was so fresh and tasty. I will definitely be back to try the bowls and salads next time!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Came in for lunch and it was empty. Ordered quickly but my order took quite a while. Food was still good!

    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.

    Salmon Bowl

    My girlfriend always comes to this location and I decided to give it a try. It was my first time here and the experience was great! Gil was very friendly and gave great recommendations. We both had the salmon bowl and it was so delicious!

    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.

    Do you do catering ? If so do you have a menu?

    HI Larissa! Yes we do. You can check out the menu here.. https://orders.urbanecafe.com/

    Do you have gluten free bread for the sandwiches?

    Hi Supriya - Thank you for being our guest. Unfortunately we do not have gluten free bread but we can lettuce wrap anything for you! I will be sure to tell the chef we have guests that would like gluten free bread! Thank you!

    My husband wants to try the southwest chicken sandwich, however he can't digest the corn and black beans due to stomach problems. Can he sub those 2 ingredients 4 bacon at no extra charge?

    Hi M.H - I am sorry to hear about you husband's stomach problems. We would be more than happy to sub in bacon but it will still be at the additional charge. Our Applewood smoked bacon has a higher food cost to us than the corn and black bean salsa… 

    Is there vegan options?

    There are 4 vegetarian sandwich options. I would imagine their bowls / salads can be made to be vegan.

    What are some hidden menu items?

    My favorite is the Cilantro Chicken Sandwich and Tom's Special :) Others are some past menu items... Italian Chicken, Turkey Melt and Rosemary Chicken Sandwich. Have fun! :)

    The name Hodori brings back so many memories from our college and young adults days, so we've been…read moreexcited to finally check out the Northridge location. We stopped by on a Tuesday for lunch, and nostalgia definitely did not disappoint. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy a meal. The Jjolmyeon has always been our all-time favorite from the LA location, so ordering it was a no-brainer. And wow... it somehow tasted even better here! We also ordered the Yuk Kalguksu (육칼국수) and Gun Mandu (군만두), and everything hit the spot. The Yuk Kalguksu came with such a generous portion that I happily finished the noodles, enjoyed some of the rich, spicy broth, and still had enough soup and beef to box up for another meal. Talk about a bonus dinner! The mandu was perfectly crispy and paired so well with the refreshing, chewy jjolmyeon. For us, a restaurant earns a spot in our regular rotation only if it checks three boxes: delicious food, friendly service, and cleanliness. Hodori easily checks all three. In fact, I came back after work the very same day to pick up dinner for the family (because one visit clearly wasn't enough ). We ordered Galbi Ugeoji Haejangguk (갈비 우거지 해장국), Galbitang (갈비탕), Tteokbokki (떡볶이), Samgyetang (삼계탕), and Yukgaejang (육개장). I placed the order before leaving work, and by the time I arrived about 15 minutes later, everything was neatly packed and ready to go. As a working mom, finding a restaurant that serves delicious food, offers great service, and makes takeout this effortless feels like striking gold. It saves me time in the kitchen while keeping everyone's tummies full and happy. Safe to say, Hodori has officially earned a permanent spot on our takeout list.

    Terrible customer service. I will never return!…read more I came to Hodori 365 with my two young children, ages 4 and 8, and was extremely disappointed by how we were treated. I politely asked the younger employee if we could order regular meals to eat at the restaurant and kids' meals to go. She said no, which was completely fine. I was simply asking a question. Then another employee came over and loudly said, "NO TAKE OUT!" directly to my face. I was shocked by her tone and how unnecessarily rude the interaction became. I immediately decided to leave and handed back the menus. As we were leaving, I noticed the same employee pointing at my children and gesturing for them to move away from the table because they had been moving the utensils around while waiting. My children are only 4 and 8 years old. They weren't damaging anything, and I would have gladly cleaned up after them. I found the way she treated them completely unacceptable. This was not my first negative experience here. During a previous visit, I witnessed the same employee and another staff member giving my friends dirty looks and an unpleasant attitude over their tip, even though they had already left 18%. With a single meal and rice costing around $35, I would expect customers to be treated with basic courtesy and respect. I don't mind paying for good food, but I refuse to spend my money at a restaurant where my family is made to feel so unwelcome. There are plenty of other Korean restaurants in Los Angeles where I would rather spend my money. Never again.

The bread tasted crisp and chewy, and overall it was something that filled me up for what I needed. My friend got a vermicelli bowl and felt like the overall dish was also okay, and that the fish sauce could have been more flavorful since that's usually a highlight for her. There was a bit of a long wait for it, like almost 20 minutes. We definitely chose to eat it to-go since the interior is also small and there's about 3 tables or less. They do offer an extensive menu though and I was pretty tempted to buy a drink and try it out from here. Parking lot is entered through Reseda and there's a whole area of the lot that's been fenced off for the longest. Might be hard to enter or exit if it's a busy time because of traffic. No bathrooms!

Luckily I had my fan to help cool off my soup. I did add a little salt and pepper. Other than that it was total comfort. $15 We shared a club sandwich and got French fries instead. All the condiments, Russian dressing, ranch come in prepackaged little containers. Ranch tasted fresh and homemade. I used a little of the Russian dressing.
