Urban Plates - Irvine

Updating my review. GM reached out to me and was very pleasant to speak with. So glad that this location is near to me. Will be visiting more often. Moroccan chicken is the best!

Meat was a bit well done, but overall still my favorite place for quick lunch and take out. I enjoy their salads, but the Caribbean Salad is my all time favorite. The dressing is citrusy and fresh tasting. I like the roasted cashews. I feel good eating it! I use their app whenever I order here. It makes things easier for me. Nice customer service and efficient. Gets busy during popular hours. Nice decor and atmosphere to dine in.

The qualify if this place has gone down. When you get to go order, the portion is like 1/2 the size of in house dining. I literally got 4 pieces of meat for my to go order and 10 pieces of brussel sprouts. How can you tell me these 2 plates is worth $40.00?!?!?!?!?!?!? This is ridiculous. Extremely disappointment with this to go order.

Urban plate is my go to place for health food. Their service is always attentive, and ambiance is modern and has a wood theme. The dining area can be extremely busy so expect a wait if you go during meal times. My go to is usually the ahi salad (add beets for a dollar- they add red and golden beets). The chimichurri steak is flavorful and I could eat that chimichurri sauce all day! You can never go wrong with their salmon. The kid meal options are well portioned and come with a drink as well. And do not forget to get plate pass if you order more than one entree. It's $5 a month for a 20% discount. You can break even or even save in one meal.

My favorite go-to spot!! Urban Plates is the place for food cooked from scratch with quality ingredients!! Their Marinated Beet Salad with house made preserved lemon vinaigrette and added grass fed grilled steak was so vibrant, healthy and delicious!! The beets are firm with a wonderful texture and flavor!! My favorite place to get beets. Their Grilled Cage Free Chicken plate is filling, juicy and perfect with the Organic Red White Quinoa with Tomato Pesto. The quinoa is one of my favorite side dishes. The Roasted Mushrooms with Garlic Parmesan Butter and Gochujang Roasted Broccoli were very tasty sides. I would definitely get them again!! They have seating both inside and on their patio area. I like that it's covered to keep you away from the sun. It made for a relaxing and enjoyable meal! Good customer service!
