Urban Plates

Delicious but made ahead food that you order at the counter, (if you can figure out where to stand in line.) Otherwise huge selection of salads, hot comfort food style proteins, yummy tropical drinks, and phenomenal deserts. Outdoor seating also available. Will go again.

Came here for lunch around noon on a Monday and it was not busy. I got the salmon dish, which comes with 2 sides, so I got brocollini and sweet potatoes. The food was solid--I definitely got full. I also got a piece of chocolate cake, which was amazing. The restaurant itself was chilly inside however. I got a cafeteria vibe and not more of a restaurant vibe. I wish the environment would have felt more homey/comfortable, but besides that, a solid spot to eat.

- AMAZING FOOD.
- Prices are VERY REASONABLE. When you look at the fact that for the price of a burger, fries, and a drink at Five Guys, you can have a delicious and nutritious meal.
- Great ambiance and great service from the staff.
Every time I’m in Irvine, I make sure to come here for lunch and dinner. Then I pester the management about moving out east because I’m selfish and I LOVE THEIR FOOD!!!
- Big portions!

Love it, haven't had one thing that even remotely tasted off. The food is of a perfect quantity for one person to absolutely enjoy. Prices are definitely fair for the quality as well, this place is only second to welcome dinner in Arizona in my honest opinion. Still 10/10

Great variety of tastes, primarily New American style cooking. You have to go a few times to know how the flow of ordering works. Tip: Go straight to the station you want to order from!

Pro: High quality meats/foods/drinks. Great variety. A lot of seating. Friendly staff
Cons: Can have long lines at popular times. Fairly pricey for the quantity of food that you get. Picking your food and standing in line is a bit awkward when employees aren't there to guide you
