Urban Pantry

Stir fry with white rice, chicken, tofu, and 4 veggies (baby corn, snap peas,broccoli, carrots). I asked for light sauce. It's good and a refreshing change from park food.

I was surprised by how good the noodles were! You get to choose your veggies, choice of protein, noodles, and sauce. The meal was served piping hot which was especially satisfying after a long flight.

Surprisingly lots of options and freshly made food, especially for lunch and dinner time. The dinner options are wok stir fry or soup noodles with your choice of veggies and a protein, burger selections, or a 9" personal pizza. I didn't get the sushi the entire time I was staying at Aventura because the fish was very discolored each time and dramatically overpriced. The service is great. Everyone working here was happy to help and provide accommodations if needed. For breakfast, definitely just walk over to Sapphire Falls for the New Dutch Trading Co. where they have a nearly identical menu, better food, and cheaper prices.

Food court that doesn't feel like a food court! Various stands that open at different times of the day offering some items that are made to order (pizza, sushi) or cafeteria style. Grab-and-go case is also available. Prices are resort standard so expect to pay a little more that off-property. Thumbs up.

Honestly mid. It lacked all flavor basically. But sheee' hits the spot for when you're too hungry to make it over to City Walk. Burger is huge, could feed 2 people. Service was fast. Went around 4pm in Feb. They give u the little Restaurant Pager to notify when food is pau. The food court was empty at that time & the ambiance was relaxing. Workers are nice or hella tired, but tbh same. Medium burger with a slice of swiss was still dry. Needed lots of ketchup to combat. Burger COULD be a 5 and worth the price if there was a special sauce in it beyond a slice of cheese and mushrooms. Like damn Miss Cook don't be shy throw some more spices in that burger patty & on them mushrooms. (We think they don't season excessively for food allergy?) Garlic powder would make this whole thing bomb. Onion rings tasted more like batter than onion. But if u into that, das cool. tbh its still better than some of the park food

My breakfast at Urban Pantry a few days ago was just fine. I got the American Platter. The eggs where fine typical hotel eggs. Don't go for the ketchup though it is terrible bad way to sweet. The bacon was pretty well cooked and not to bad. The hash browns where the best part of the dish but you can't really mess up frying things. Last the biscuits. Terrible and overpowered with nutmeg flavor. For 13 dollars you get a decent amount of food but all at subpar quality. I just can't recommend it unless your in a rush at the hotel. P.S. the Starbucks is also super slow. Be prepared to wait upwards of 15-20 minutes for your drinks.

We visited July 2024 and it was understaffed. There are a lot of options with the food generally meh. I ate there 4 times and had problems on 3 of them. First time was for breakfast oatmeal which was fine. Second time: our pizza took forever -- more than 20 minutes for a small four-slice pepperoni. It was super greasy so we had to dab it off with napkins, and small for the price. Third time for a waffle ($14 just for a waffle) and the American breakfast. While in line to order, the woman in line ahead of me panicked because the register wouldn't take her credit card and the attendant said it was this woman's fault and she should call her credit card company. But then the same register didn't take either of my credit cards, from different issuers; we tried a different machine and still no dice (I went to the woman ahead of me who was at her table talking to her bank and told her it was Urban Pantry, not her). On top of that: I got pancakes not a waffle and the guy giving the food out blamed the error on me and wanted the receipt, which I had declined at the register. At that point I just gave up and took the pancakes. I clearly ordered waffle and they were not sorry about it. #4, I ordered oatmeal for breakfast again but there were no brown sugar cups made up. Thankfully the staff member went into the back and had a cup ready after about 5 minutes, of course the oatmeal wasn't as warm any more. So problems on 3 out of 4 orders, and multiple problems on 2 of those. but there is nowhere else to eat at the hotel.

I'm not one to pursue hotel dining while on vacation but the Urban Pantry was convenient. My sister is here often so she recommended the best entrees to choose from (and don't stray from what you know):The Urban Burger - hands down. I believe the name has since changed to the bacon cheeseburger, but definitely the best bang for your buck when eating at the hotel. If you're not into burgers, I also recommend the tuna poke bowl or the teriyaki stir fry! The stir fry is a little saucy but you can ask for less sauce if you prefer.

Already wrote a review for breakfast before and am now doing lunch/dinner. We stayed here for 5 days and haven't found something we didn't enjoy. Everything has tasted good and very filling portations. I will say Lunch and Dinner are more pricey than breakfest. I love the different variety stations for cuisine they offer. Universal was just always packed and way too busy so we didn't bother eating there. We just love the convince of taking our food to our room to unwind and enjoy it in peace after a long day. Everyone working has been friendly and getting food out at decent time. For "hotel" food I find this amazing compared to others. Obviously it's not 5 stars fancy restaurant, but the quality is good on this tier in my eyes.

Excellent food at a great price I went to the roast station at the Universal Aventura hotel tried 3 styles of the burgers the bacon jam burger,the bacon burger and the cheddar and onion the pizza was great also And the fries crisp. Also a tip if you are staying at the universal Aventura hotel buy a freestyle cup, there Coca Cola freestyle machines are always stocked. The lobby of the Aventura hotel is very modern and has a very nice vibe.
