I really enjoyed Urban Kitchen. We had the BBQ chicken and the Thai Street Prawns bowl. The chicken was very moist and flavorful. The BBQ sauce was sweet and tangy a nice combination with the chicken. It was served in slices and very easy to eat. The Thai shrimp had a great flavor and was cooked perfectly. The slaw had a good flavor and was a nice crisp contrast to the chicken. The fries were crisp and went well with the chicken and bbq sauce. The peanut sauce on the Thai shrimp bowl was advertised as spicy but did not pack too big of a punch and was a delightful addition to the shrimp bowl. I would highly recommend trying this place and if I lived closer I would definitely put it in my restaurant rotation.

Urban kitchen never disappoints. Our family loves this place. The food always satisfies and the customer service is exceptional! They manage to keep the place clean. Even on busiest days which are usually the weekends, they always deliver superb food and service. I always get the healer bowl with salmon instead of chicken (chicken is really good too) and I add avocado to my bowl. My little one who is a foodie loves the sunny rib eye burger. It's tender, juicy and delicious! The healer bowl, aside from my mom's dishes, has become my go to comfort food. It always hits the spot with its different textures and flavors. I never get tired of it and it literally is very healing with all the super anti oxidant ingredients. They have big servings. The bowls can easily serve two people. Buse, one of the owners is just a sweetheart! We keep coming back here not only for the food but because of the friendly service. Love, love, love! Highly recommended!

Spacious and comfortable restaurant with outdoor seats. I wouldn't say they have many food options but for what we ordered, the portion size was good and good was really delicious. Recommended.

Honestly the food was amazing and the location is prime. Probably one of the best restaurants I have been to in San Francisco. My salad was fresh & beautiful! Everything was on point. I had a ginger/turmeric soda water, AMAZING! Great place to meet, eat, & take a stroll.

All the food we ate here were excellent. Fries were crunchy, chicken sandwich has plenty of flavor and juicy. My kids had the steaks and said it was tasty. They finished everything on the plate. A good place to eat on a date or hangout with a friend.

Fantastic restaurant in the heart of Burlingame. The food is California style cuisine, and we enjoyed a fabulous lunch on the patio. The owner is extremely kind and we had a great conversation with her. She made us feel very welcome and had excellent customer service. We ordered the spicy chicken sandwich and the chicken Katsu plate, and we finished our plates clean. Delicious, fresh ingredients, beautifully presented. What more could you ask for!
