Counter-service spot for creative, health-leaning bowls, salads, and brunch with quick service and fair prices, but occasional portion inconsistency and mixed execution on a few dishes.
Urban Kitchen delivers solid neighborhood dining with above-average food quality highlighted by fresh salmon bowls and California-fusion execution.
