Happy Sunday.
Danielle H.

My new favorite place. My reviews for restaurants have gone down in number because I really don't have to go anywhere else to eat. Their salads and sandwiches are so flavorful. The bread is the best part. I have to control myself from asking for more. Prices are fair until you ask for a fountain drink. I'm a water cup kind of girl. I'm happy Urbane Cafe exists.

I've been here a couple of times. Once when they first opened and just recently. The place is small. But clean and well lit. You have the option to order through the r self service kiosks or in person. I've had the tri tip sandwich and the turkey cranberry Brie. Both are pretty good. It comes with a salad and balsamic dressing which I like. I do believe you can switch the sides to soup and other options. The staff is pretty friendly too. I'll come back.

Baja Bowl

Seriously my favorite spot. I love the food here. Service is wonderful. It's quick bite to eat, good sized portions delicious healthy food, not the kind that makes you sleepy and sloppy lol. I'm so happy they opened this place in Pedro! Definitely recommend.

Salmon Bowl and BBQ Tri Tip
Nina W.

New and clean with plenty of parking. Tons of outdoor seating. I gave it 3 stars because the Salmon Bowl was horrible and the BBQ tri tip sandwich was delicious. Salmon bowl - Dry!! Rice was so dry and felt undercooked. Salmon was so dry and not flaky at all. I could make better salmon at home. BBQ tri tip sandwich - Delicious soft bread. Warm. Good flavors. I would get sandwiches over the bowl for sure. Download the app for a free cookie.

It was the best of Urbane Cafes, it was the worst of Urbane Cafes. I honestly wasn't planning to stop by Urbane Cafe in Palos Verdes since it was way out of the way for me to go. However, I got an email announcing their grand opening there. "Oh cool," I thought to myself. The email also announced that if you order a sandwich, salad, or bowl between Jul 11 and Jul 18, you could get a free sandwich, salad, or bowl on your next visit. "Oh cool!!" I thought to myself. I was planning a day trip on Saturday, and I figured I could add a trip to this recently opened Urbane Cafe to my itinerary since it was just down the 110 from where I was at. I had to take the Channel St/Pacific Ave exit, turn right on Gaffey, and go left on Capitol before finally arriving at Western. Urbane Cafe in Palos Verdes is in a strip mall on the southwest corner of Capitol and Western. It appears this strip mall is going to be totally revamped because Google Streets shows a totally different set of businesses there. If you see or know of Sun's Pet Grooming, that is now Urbane Cafe. I hadn't really heard of Urbane Cafe before this year, but instantly became a fan when they opened a location in Long Beach, much closer to me. I love how the team in Long Beach treats all their customers like family, and I especially love the food they make there that I even got to share some with my coworkers via catering order. Unfortunately, I got none of those vibes on my first visit to this Palos Verdes location that I just had to start this review with some Charles Dickens. Since it was their second day of operation, they had a tent just outside the cafe that was supposed to welcome customers, but when I arrived, there was nobody under the tent! They had a table underneath where there were flyers advertising 20% off catering until August 31, Service Member Appreciation Days, and the offer I mentioned earlier in this review. But not having a human element aspect of the welcome tent was really a missed opportunity for some customers like yours truly; I might even argue that it was ominous! I had placed my order in the app because in order to qualify for the free entree, you have to place an order online or in the app; an in-person order wouldn't work, but several customers did this, presumably because they don't have the app yet. For whatever reason, I wasn't given a welcome by any of the employees, but when the other customers entered the cafe, the cashier would say welcome, and the rest of the team would follow suit. But my presence wasn't acknowledged? What am I, chopped liver?! I went to the rear of the cafe where they had 3 shelves of online pickup orders. One bag was already ready, but there were no employees overseeing the online orders. That bag wasn't mine, but since there wasn't any employee there, I could have easily taken that customer's order, which I'd never want to do! They also didn't announce when an online order was ready for pickup, so I had to keep a watchful eye to make sure nobody would take my order. I picked up my order about 4 minutes before my scheduled pickup time, but am not sure exactly when it was ready since, like I said, they didn't say my name when my order was ready for pickup. I sat at a table that wasn't cleaned up after the previous customer even though there were a handful of other tables inside since I'd much rather a family to be eating at a cleaner table instead. It wasn't that busy inside, so I was a little surprised nobody picked up table cleaning duties during my visit. I ordered the Salmon Salad with Chipotle Ranch dressing, which came with a side of focaccia bread. The salad was chock full of leafy greens, which I could tell after shaking the container to spread the Chipotle Ranch around. They could have added a little more of all the other toppings like the salmon, but especially the edamame. The jicama and mango salsa weren't as fresh tasting. The Chipotle Ranch wasn't very flavorful either, and that's one of my favorite dressings! I had to use some sriracha sauce to add some flavor to my salad. And lastly, the focaccia bread was a whole lot of nothing! I know it's just bread, but there should have been *some* flavor at least. Did they forget to brush the oil on top of the bread? Maybe. My only interaction with an employee was when I asked one where the utensils were, but she simply said she included one in my takeout bag. Well okay I guess, but it didn't totally answer my question. However, there were very few customers inside at the time, and I definitely felt like a fly on the wall. The cashier who made her rounds cleaning passed by me a couple times, including when I left, but she didn't even wish me a good day, perhaps a microcosm of the indifference in their service. The Salmon Salad didn't taste bad, but my overall experience at this Urbane Cafe was so lacking that, no joke, I even had to go to Chick-fil-A afterwards to finish my dinner. I doubt I'll return to this location.

Urbane Cafe is now in the South Bay! Today was the grand opening of their newest restaurant in Rancho Palos Verdes. It was my first time to try Urbane Cafe and I was impressed right from the start. I was greeted with a vibrant "Welcome to Urbane Cafe" and plenty of smiles the moment I walked in. Their menu consists of sandwiches, salads, bowls and soups. For this first visit I chose to try their UC Banh Mi and their Mediterranean Bowl. The UC Banh Mi is packed with tender roasted chicken, cilantro, cucumbers, pickled carrots, fresno chilis and pickled white radish. All the fillings are smothered with this amazing sweet chili aioli. For the bread, they use fire baked focaccia bread. That focaccia bread truly makes this sandwich special! It's served fresh and warm and comes out so soft. They make the bread fresh in house. The bread along with the delicious sandwich fillings made for one awesome bahn mi! I would definitely get this again. Equally as good was the Mediterranean Bowl. This bowl comes with mixed whole grain rice, kale, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled onions, hummus and tomato cucumber salsa. I chose to add chicken to my bowl. I was impressed that you could choose what kind of chicken to add (i.e bbq chicken, grilled chicken, cilantro chicken, spicy chicken). I chose to get cilantro chicken and this paired well with all the veggies and hummus. This was one flavor packed bowl! I also loved how this always came with the fire baked foccacia bread. Aside from the food, I chose to get a drink. They offer Dragon Fruit Agua Fresca, Watermelon Lemonade, Old Fashion Lemonade, Iced Tea and Batch Craft Soda. I was a fan of the Dragon Fruit Agua Fresca. It was so refreshing! Last but not least- they have dessert here too! They have fresh baked cookies. Options included chocolate chip, white chocolate cranberry, oatmeal and chocolate. I tried the chocolate chip and it was the perfect treat to wrap up a good meal. I am so happy to see them in Rancho Palos Verdes. Though this was my first visit to Urbane Cafe ever, I know it won't be my last.

Grocery shopping always seems to make me hungry anyway, so it's nice having a food option right there. One tip: I'd grab a drink from inside H Mart before ordering at Hansol, since there a lot of cool and different drink options in the grocery section. I usually get the pork cutlet, which comes with two pork cutlets, rice, several sides, a small broth, and a salad. It's a really good-sized meal and something I always enjoy getting. The pork katsu is crunchy on the outside while still being juicy inside, and the sauce has a refreshing flavor that pairs really well with it. The sides complement the meal nicely, and they also give you some fruit. I like saving that for the end since it's a refreshing way to end the meal. Ordering is pretty straightforward: just go up to the cashier and give them the letter and number for the item you want. I also like that there's a picture for each menu item, so you can easily see what you're ordering. The seating area is basically a food court, so the ambiance isn't anything special, but there are plenty of seats, which is nice. I always look forward to coming to this H Mart knowing I can also get a great meal if I'm hungry after shopping. It's definitely one of those convenient spots that makes the grocery trip even better.

Really enjoyed our meal at Hansol inside H Mart in Torrance! We had the squid with bean sprouts and…read moreudon noodle soul. Both were really good, flavorful, and satisfying. The typical Korean banchan (side dishes) that came with the meal made everything even better. It's located inside the supermarket, so the dining area can get very crowded and busy, but the food came out fairly quickly, so the wait wasn't bad at all. You order your food, find yourself a table, and they call your number when your order is ready. Nothing fancy in terms of atmosphere but a busy H Mart food-court setting for that is tasty, comforting, and worth the wait. I'd definitely come back, especially when I'm craving a hot bowl of Korean soup!

We love this place because the service is always fast and efficient, and the food is consistently good. You can have a drink or two if you'd like, but since we were driving, we decided to skip the drinks this time. After they sat us, we ordered our food immediately on the kiosk that was on the table. It really made it super easy. We ordered the steak, which is always super tender and flavorful. The beef tofu soup and of course my Coke! One order is honestly more than enough for the two of us, especially because we definitely eat differently now than we did when we were younger. Lol We shared our meal, and it was the perfect amount for both of us. Sometimes you just want a place that's easy, delicious, and gets the job done without any fuss and this place definitely does that for us! We love dinning here especially during the summer as the ac is always on blast! We'll definitely be back soon!

I did, however, enjoy the complimentary side dishes - in particular the fish cake. That was yummy! Tell me why I wanted/ ordered soup when it was literally nearly triple digits. We also got an order of the Galbi, which also lacked flavor. Service was fine. They close from 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m., which we did not know but that was our fault. We went back at 4, and it wasn't busy. Nice size parking lot but it is on a busy street. Finding parking is not difficult though.
