A Taste Of Urbanspace

UrbanSpace is such an improvement over Isabella's Eatery. The food is more diverse and fresher, the staff is nicer, a better set-up without a formal dining hall. Most of all - so much less pretentious!

The premium food court is like a Taste of DC with an unique mix of stalls from flagship restaurants in DC - Andy's Pizza, Stomping Ground (cafe), Donburi (Japanese), Sen Khao (Laotian from team of Thip Khao), Ice Cream Jubilee, and Lady M. (layered crepes from Lower East Side Manhattan - not sure why that's in the mall). It's nice to see more traditional Asian restaurants rather than sushi and relief not to see another cupcake shop.

My favorite food is Donburi's hearty Japanese Tofu Veggie Curry, Stomping Ground's Biscuit egg cheese avocado sammie, and Ice Cream Jubilee's Caramel Banana Bourbon ice cream.

The breakfast sammie biscuit sandwiches at Stomping Ground really hit the spot! I like how you can craft your own and added egg, cheddar cheese, and the lemon avocado mash. The hearty sandwich was quite a doozy to eat and delightfully messy! The biscuits are so fluffy and moist that I'll opt just for the biscuit next time. A big improvement over Isabella's defunct coffee shop that didn't really offer much breakfast options.

Ice Cream Jubilee offers a variety - 16 to be exact - of fun and traditional flavors. During Ice Cream Jubilee's soft opening I only saw the standard flavors and got the Caramel Banana Bourbon ice cream and Cookies and Cookie Dough. I recently saw newer interesting flavors like Pumpkin Chai, Candy Cane & Pretzel, Boozy Egg Nog and Thai Iced Tea. Will be back!

Donburi's savory Tofu Veggie Curry is bursting with flavor in every bite! I love the crispy tofu and the white rice soaking up all of the curry's rich flavor. I enjoyed the pickled radish, scallions, and peppers with the curry. My husband liked Karaagedon Curry with chicken, which was identical to mine but with fried chicken instead of tofu.

Excited to come back and try out the other stalls!

There is a secret somewhere here, the way they present so many pictures, so much content and information that makes you think is the best, we visit the place and we give a try, but will be better if....... you can see for yourself and judge like we did the place is big nice and new so no complains yet :-)
