Reviews for Urban Plates in Aliso Viejo, CA

Don't waste your money. Went for a weekday lunch and it was extremely packed with a long line; good sign. You order at the... counter and they bring your food to where your sitting... If there were literally any seats. I found two chairs on their patio,no table though. Okay, I'm use to food truck eating just wasn't expecting it at a place where the food is actually served onglass plates and actual cutlery without having a spot to put them. Thankfully, kind strangers offered for us to share theirtable. Additionally, the price is ridiculous for what you get. There is not even a soup or salad on the menu that's under tendollars. If I can't sit and eat and you're going to charge honestly quite a lot, why wouldnt I just go to Whole Foods get asalad to go that's of equal quality and a lot cheaper? And it may be petty, but they add a 3% surcharge on top of all foodorders you make. This place just takes advantage of the health conscioused. Ordered the sea bass and it was mid at best. Do NOTwaste your money. Go to Wahoos in the same shopping center if you want a piece of fish, cheaper and infinitely better. Read more

The cashier was not very friendly and could not answer any of our questions and had an attitude, it was our first time and of... course we wanted to ask a few questions. The gentleman that brought our food was kind and quick with what we asked for. Thankyou ! Food was good but it was a bit cold . Place was clean and it was easy to get around d with the wheelchair. But do not twohours before closing time. They did not have mash potatoes, broccoli or the piece of cake that my husband wanted. Read more

This location uses to be great maybe 2 to 3 years ago but now it's terrible. Prices have increased while quality has dive... bombed. Ordered to go chimchurri steak w/ mash potatoes and Brussel sprouts. Brussel sprouts were good, but the mashed potatoescan be sucked through a straw and the steak was too tough to slice through with the plastic knife and a real steak knife fromhome. What a waste of $22. They have been consistently getting worse for a while now and seems to only the aliso viejo towncenter location. Read more

This place is all about freshness, taste, and great ingredients. Presentation is top notch, taste equals to the higher priced... dinner experience, outside seating is available. I tried the Mango tart which was out of my usual palette style but executedwonderfully. I'd go here often if I lived close by because the prices are great compared to the quality you get. Read more

I absolutely love this place! Homemade food that is very reasonably priced. Don't change the portion size unless it's to make... them bigger :)! I have never been a fan of Mac and cheese until I tried theirs. The salmon is delicious, as well as the tomatosoup with pesto. Everyone is nice but my favorite ate David and my girl Sandy. Thank you both for always going the extra mile. Read more

The are a few things I absolutely LOVE from here. If your craving that home cooked meal for $10 I would recommend the brassed... beef n mushrooms/ mashed potatoes. It?s so good! There side dishes like the caramelized carrots and the Brussel sprouts withbacon also amazing. If you order only sides dishes get 3 cause you technically gettin 3-$10. The Aliso Viejo location has reallygreat service was spot on. David was super helpful , awesome service ????and if you have a sweet tooth there dessert menu????I recommend the mango tart if your looking for something light - they always use sweet fresh mango slices and between eachslice there is this perfect light rum cream. The ????hummingbird cake is like a carrot cake but with pineapple instead ofcarrots. All desserts are around $6 Read more

I usually LOVE this place and as usual, I ordered from DoorDash. I ordered their steak salad this time, but replaced the steak... with the sea bass as I wanted to try a new menu item. Ugh?. I could not tell the problem right away, since they slather the fishwith all sorts of herbs. But you can see in the pictures how completely raw this fish is. And then DoorDash took almost an hourto only offer me a refund. This isn?t about just receiving the wrong order. This is about a restaurant sending out absolutelyraw and undercooked, non sushi grade fish. Why would anyone send out food that could cause someone to get really sick? You cansee in the picture that only some of the ends were cooked, so I do hope I don?t get sick. Accidents happen, but there is reallyno excuse for this. But hey, maybe the restaurant wanted to hurry and close to get home on a Saturday night vs taking care oftheir customers by serving healthy, edible food as advertised. Priorities ???? Read more

I've been going to this location for many years and only now I'm leaving a review. They always offer great and healthy options... from Vegan, Gluten Free, and Dairy Free. And the cake (Flourless and Chocolate Vanilla layered cake) is yummy too. Kurt themanager was so generous and so kind and the employees are welcoming. I highly recommend this place. Read more
