Chieko BonnaJuly 21, 2015Quick but healthy, home made meals. Love the open kitchen. It's nice to be able to see what to select. Grilled chicken, brussel sprouts, Mac & cheese and mashed potatoes were very good. Def going back

Great substitute for homemade when you just don’t feel like cooking. Nice kids’ options, too.
markMarch 26, 2016Solid fast meal. Chicken was tasty tho a little dry. Sides were tasty and service was better than expected.

- Mari SmithApril 29, 2012Try the deelish gluten free chocolate chip cookies! A wee bit sweet but SO healthy knowing they are GF! Lol!
Love the braised beef with mashed potatoes. Half order is huge.
I will never look down on brussel sprouts again. UP knows how to get you addicted to them... Yummy!
Steven KekichJuly 30, 2012The roasted Brussels sprouts are a must have! I get them every time I come in.
Used to be Pasta Bravo, I recognize their Mango Tart!!!! So good!!!!
- La Jolla MomMay 10, 2013Skip the bread. The portions are big enough. My salmon was cooked perfectly!
Clarissa RigginsSeptember 26, 2011Love this place. Reminds me of Plutos in the bay area. Any salad is delish
Paul HinmanApril 25, 2012Ignore the obvious linear cafeteria style tray 'line' and just go to the station serving what you want.
Matt MossDecember 25, 2011Watermelon pineapple agave drink is really good. Slow braised pork is a winner.
John McGarrahMarch 6, 2012Steak, rosemary potatoes, and green beans. Avoid the salad line if not getting a salad.
Ahi and chicken are both great! -Julien www.OrganikSEO.com
