“We needed something quick while we were out and wanted something that would leave us feeling good - found Urban Plates and it exceeded what we were looking for! My grass-fed steak was tender and juicy, the mac n cheese was comforting and delicious, and the side of beets paired well with the goat cheese. My husband enjoyed his crispy chicken sandwich and fries. I love the variety of food offered at Urban Plates and knowing my body is getting high quality nutrients while enjoying something delicious!

They also offer a membership discount - worth it if you live nearby and frequent this place!“

The staff were all so friendly, attentive, and caring, but I want to give a special thank you to Anita. She went above and beyond to make sure I had a wonderful experience, and her kindness and positive attitude made my visit even more memorable.

I will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Persian food and unforgettable hospitality. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! ❤“

“An incredible menu—and drink menu! Try the Indian Summer, the Splash Zone or the blackberry infused Houdini! You will definitely want to try their burrata and heirloom tomato starter.

“The food is very tasty, good presentation! delicious 😋“

“Wow! What a find! Had lunch at Tomo Sushi and everything was just so genuinely good. I ordered the cucumber salad and the sashimi roll, and the chef surprised me with complimentary crab tempura. OMG… that crab tempura was incredible — the flavor just burst in your mouth.

And the miso soup? Definitely a winner. Not lukewarm like so many places… I mean actually hot, fresh, rich, and flavorful. You could really taste the care in it.

The sashimi roll was amazing too — “flavorful” honestly doesn’t even describe it. The fish tasted super fresh.

The restaurant itself is quiet and comfortable, with two chefs and one server, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Nothing felt forced or over-the-top… just genuine hospitality and really good food.

If you’ve never been here, honestly make the trip just to try it. Based only on what I tasted today, I’d absolutely come back again 🤗🍣🌹“

“The atmosphere is a wonderful and relaxing change from the high tech look of too many restaurants today. It's softly lit and comforting. The food is excellent. The branzino was cooked perfectly, the side dish of french lentils was a treat and the apple pie delicious. It's a treasure.“

“they go out there way to deliver a beautiful curry, Rice nan, onion bahgee everything beautiful as always..10 out of 10 for everything...Col Carno“

“I love getting the harvest bowl here! (Although personally I sub out the goat cheese for an egg) Its been my treat dinner during finals and they always deliver. It is a bit pricey for a salad, but they are seriously good, and good for you so I dont mind spending a bit more. The restaurant is usually empty or has 1 to 2 people which can be a bit odd, but I usually get my salads to go so I don't mind.“

“My wife and I randomly picked this spot and we are glad we did! One of the few sandwich spots in the Mission/Laguna area making fresh sandwiches! We had the Pastrami Ruben & The Mobster. Highly recommend this place. Oh and get a cookie too, they are great. I promised myself I'd only get one, but the dude helping us order already knew; we got a second one to go (grabbed a lack & White, very tasty)!“

“Brenda, the manager at Chick-fil-A, is absolutely exceptional. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a genuine smile and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. Her kindness, professionalism, and positive attitude truly made my day. Chick-fil-A, Brenda is exactly the kind of leader every restaurant should have you need more people like her. Thank you, Brenda, for turning an ordinary visit into such a wonderful experience!“

“unique cocktails, blts, chicken sandwiches“

“Wow, what a find! The team at Chop Stop went above and beyond to accommodate my dairy allergy. They listened and reassured me they understood- they made me feel completely safe eating here. That kind of care is so special, thank you! Also, the food was fresh and delicious. I’m so happy to have finally found another place I can eat without worry. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Located on the So. California coast is one of the most beautiful and clean beach cities in Orange County, San Clemente, a well established destination for tourists as well as locals! I love Old Town because there's just so many ways to spend your time, and money, with myriad places to shop and dine or just sit and relax at an outdoor cafe under sunny skies cooled by the gentle ocean breeze! End your daytime activities and come enjoy the vibrant night life atmosphere on the boulevard which is an exciting yet layed back place to socialize and always attracts both the young and old who seek to eat drink and have a good time!“

“Went in with 12 kiddos from the nearby elementary school. I was greeted and helped by Dennis initially and could not have been treated any better. He was very accommodating and helpful with ordering. K assisted next and got all the food ready in great time. Highly recommend! This team made the party happen! Very thankful for their help.“

“We want to thank CPK for honoring Veterans today. They gave a delicious complementary supper tonight with a nice menu. The food was delicious. The staff was excellent. Service was fast. Manager thanked the veterans and gave us a handshake and a flag. He even had a table set for the missing soldiers , sailors, and Marines. Happy that everyone in restaurant was having a great time. Staff was all friendly and excellent. We eat here about ever other month. Very affordable, great pizzas and pastas“

“We went here for a special birthday celebration. It is recommended to make reservations ahead of time. We last minute called and were able to get a reservation for 5. It is a nice candlelight ambiance. Food was delicious. We had ordered the osso, branzino fish with plate, and the steak. It was all delicious. When we sat down, it came with complimentary bread and marinated mushrooms. The veggies had celery in it which wasn’t my favorite“

“Had a great lunch nice healthy fresh food“

“Best food ever! Have never ever been disappointed. All the staff and the owners are truly good to all of the customers. Definitely one of our favorite places.“

“The new Smoky Oaxacan Shrimp 🍤 Bowl 🍲 is one their best creations. How can you beat rice and beans, Shrimp, guacamole, tortilla strips, and chipotle sauce. Probably a lot of sodium so you may want to get it to go and save some for later.“

“I visited here in late May 2024. This is WAY better than the old taco shop that was here. I had the Smashburger and fries. Burger was huge and is honestly the best burger I’ve ever had in Orange County…seriously! Fries were awesome. Employees were super nice. This place is a gem and I’ll be back!!!“

“I would have to say after over 20 years stopping here for pizza when I am in San Clemente the quality is the same. Yeah prices go up but as long as they are keeping their high standards then I am good with it. I got 2 pizzas some garlic knots. As good as the first time I ate here. Be back when I am on my next vacation in town.“

“Their food is always delicious!! My fav is the teriyaki char burger & sweet potato fries are the bomb“

“I was impressed by the patience and poise of one particular server, Freda.

The person in front of me had so many questions and did not fully understand the options for ordering her pizzas. Despite others waiting to be helped, Freda patiently and calmly answered all of the guest’s questions without losing her cool (and the guest appeared happy with her order). This was such a pleasant surprise to see (especially in a time when so many people get impatient and lack good customer service skills)!“

“Never miss a stop at Zinc when I’m in the area. Can always find something I love to eat, no matter what I’m in the mood for.“
