This U.P. is nearest my home. The dining room here is the second-largest of the 4 in all of Orange County. This one has the largest patio of the 4, so if you wanna eat outside, come to this one.

The staff is always considerably polite and attentive. It makes my lunches here more pleasant than anywhere else I could go. I previously reviewed and criticized a part of their process when ordering from the phone app for Dine-In. That seems to have been since corrected and improved upon. The staff seems to always know my full order even when bringing me parts of the order early.Other than the incredible service, the food is amazing!! I feel healthy eating here. Everything is always very well cooked and prepared. Best part is it tastes GREAT!!!Highly recommend this spot!

Love this place! I am from Utah and stop in every time I visit Irvine. I used to eat here all the time with my mom and it reminds me of her. I do have to admit though I am sad they no longer have the BBQ chicken salad, it was the best!!

Yum Yum Yum! Urban plates is uniquely healthy, unusually delicious, and particularly enjoyable. Their prices fit their food, and fine customer service tops it off. I LOVE their chicken and enjoy their chips. Also, their sirloin seems to shake with deliciousness. Overall, give Urban Plates a try. And then another, and another, and another!

Excellent service. Warm friendly & safe no Covid environment.Lorraine was super helpful assisted with rush order. As well as my thirst for water quickly. I will be back.

Had dinner tonight and overall enjoyed a great meal. Jenna and Tyler were super friendly and attentive. The flavors and portions were good and our kids ate everything really well. We ordered steak and asked for it to be cooked medium instead of rare but one of the plates was still on the rare side. It was still good and that's the only reason for docking a star. Otherwise it was a great meal and we'll be back.

Today I had the unique pleasure of dinner with a subscriber, this allowing me to sample some of their popular dishes. First, what an awesome deal that program. Huge savings, when you save $2-7 per plate for a nominal monthly amount (don’t know and not gonna look it up).Depending upon what you get you’ll either be stuffed or sated. After one chicken tender I was pretty full. I will say the spicy tenders are friggin’ spicy so be forewarned. If you want to try spicy, get the classic tenders and try the Habanero Mango BBQ sauce, which tastes more like ginger than BBQ, to add spicy to bites ready to endure.I also tried some of the Meatless Loaf and it was great! I used to love meatloaf but over the years my body has been telling me is a no go. Enter the meatless variety and you have a healthy, climate friendly alternative.Why just 4 stars? I cannot feel my tongue or lips after the Nashville experience and they could do well with half the spice.

I gave this place and try on a whim and happen to have a really great cashier named Jenna and the food was bomb! 10/10 will definitely be coming here again

You are not allowed to see the food now but they have pictures. I'm sorry but I want to see what looks fresh and what doesn't. Do I want chicken, beef or fish and how about those sides. We walked out and won't return until we can see what we are buying.

All I can say is Plate Pass - pay 10$ a month and all your plates are 10$ (well now 11$). Seriously? Where else can you get a healthy and tasty meal for that price? Some of the McDonald's meals are now 11$. In any case I love the fact that I can get healthy food at a reasonable price. I order my food online through the app and it's ready for pickup on the way home for dinner.Besides that - their steak is exceptionally good. It's always tasty and well done. Their chicken is super tasty too. Usually chicken in salads is not that great but the chicken is flavored well and very tasty in their salads. The beet salad is awesome! A huge and filling portion of beets and salad and nuts and other things. I think the only thing I did not like was the Ahi Tuna salad. The Ahi Tuna just did not have that much flavor.Now would I want to pay full price all the time? I think it's still worth it for full price but I would not be going several times a week. The Plate pass membership let's us eat healthy food several times a week that is tasty and convenient to get.
