True Food Kitchen - Hackensack

Ok. Nothing much to rave about

There was nothing memorable about this meal. When you go out to eat at a restaurant the food should be delicious. You return to a restaurant over and over because you have ordered some food items that taste so wonderful you are drawn back to that restaurant. You crave that starter or entre or dessert but not here ! True Food Kitchen needs to up their game or they will be gone in 1 year from now ! Sorry to be so harsh.

Love that TFK serves healthy fare. However, that doesn’t always translate to flavorful food. Drinks were excellent as were apps: especially the cauliflower. However, entrees were bland and dry. Seabass fir $30 was uninspiring and spaghetti squash casserole was dull. Strange that the only milk for coffee is oat milk when there is plenty of dairy on the menu-why draw the line there? Overall good but not dying to go back

Great food with a healthy bent. Atmosphere seems to be geared toward young families. Wait staff very friendly and helpful. Great to have such healthy options when I’m not in the mood to cook.

Fortunately we were able to sit outside, excellent menu choices

Delicious food and great ambiance. Very sanitary too

Service was inattentive. Had the sea bass. It was overcooked and very dry. We were six and entrees didn’t all come out at the same time. Waiter cleared half the dishes and never came back for the rest or to ask if we wanted dessert etc. had to flag down the manager just to get a check.

Our server was in a very hot hurry and seemed to not have time to take our food and drink order; really disappointing.
Also, disappointing was staring at the lipstick stain on my glass.
I hope this isn't going to be one of the cases when a restaurant starts off strong and goes downhill....

New experience! Six of us had mixed reactions. Too much fennel, too much cilantro, for some. Perfect for others.

Our waiter and his assistant who is training could not have been more lovely and warm. The food however was almost an hour of all the hamburger was burnt to a crisp the cauliflower had absolutely no flavor and tasted like it was thawed out from frozen we ordered sparkling water and got flat it was a disaster and they only charged us for one meal I would never go back the only redeeming quality was the lovely waiter his name was Leo

Not the waiters fault. But the bartender was slow. Our appetizer came before our drinks. And don't alter the menu!!! They don't understand that. And as for a cocktail not on the menu, forget it. I think maybe everything is predate and the just pour as needed. I wanted one drink and they couldn't do it, because they out of nutmeg. So I said skip it and he said that can't be done. What?

I’ve been here a few times and always gave you 5 stars. This time I was bringing people to your restaurant and didn’t have good experience. There was hair in one pizza, couldn’t make two drinks because was missing one ingredient and waiter was not like the past I’ve had. Sorry to say I was very disappointed this time.

Food is great! I was told that it's good for people who have an anti-inflammatory diet. It's my second time here and I have never felt bloated after eating. Also, get their cookie dessert.

I decided to give this place another try after having a bad take-out experience. I liked the menu and the outdoor dining option so I met my friend here for dinner. I ordered the skinny margarita which came without salt and was heavy on the cucumber. Maybe that works for some but it tasted more like a cucumber cocktail than a margarita.

For dinner, I had the grilled chicken parm. The chicken came in two round circles (not flat like most chicken parm) with burnt cheese on both ends. The chicken was chewy and very hard to cut with the cutlery provided. We also didn’t have cutlery when we got our meals.

Overall this was another disappointing experience at the True Food Kitchen, especially since I met a friend here from out of state and was trying to take him for a nice dinner. I don’t anticipate returning here for a third let-down.

Food needed more flavoring. Everything was bland

Waiter Elvis was excellent and the Manager solved a little issue the right way. Customers are valued and remarks are recognized.

Excellent food and service. Also, great drink menu! Can’t wait to go back.

Everything is always delish. Drinks aren’t very strong, but tasty nonetheless.

Fresh, delicious food, nice ambience, and great service. Will definitely go back. Also the squash pie for dessert was stellar!

Met my granddaughter at her request and was pleasantly surprised. The food was very delicious and service was good…. I will go back!

Ok food which came quickly. Without plates, napkins or utensils! Service poor! Plenty of servers who had to be asked several times for place settings and ordered drinks. Some servers were not wearing masks over noses. Disgusting!

We were a bit disappointed because my husband and I were there before and the food was excellent. This time I ordered the sea bass and it was so overcooked that you
could not tell what type of fish it was. For a $30 entree
it should have been cooked perfectly

Will go back but maybe just for lunch. The restaurant is
nice and roomy and the drinks are delicious

I was wondering why the place was so empty on a Saturday night maybe because the food is not what it was

had to wait 25 minutes for a glass of wine. appetizers and dinner came before the wine.

Food is amazing. They are very accommodating and customer friendly. However, app is very frustrating and technology does not work at the tables. When reaching out to company to try for help. Not responsive. Disappointing, as the food is amazing.

Not sure I will go back now

Our server was not attentive when we needed him - to pay the bill, to bring drinks. The food was under-seasoned and meats were overcooked. We love the TFK brand and have visited several locations, but we’ve had a lackluster experience at this location 2x.

Drinks were great. Food was tasty and cooked well. The seasonal menu for the Fall was a welcome change and the kitchen did a good job of getting food out quick and with quality.

The food is healthy and delicious. The staff is very friendly. Service is awesome. I will go back highly recommended

Lunch with friends. Great service, clean, spacious and overall a very good experience.

upbeat atmosphere, contemporary decor, refreshing menu - healthy and delicious

So good! Great service & food! Free bday dessert during bday month too!!

Food was excellent. Service was basically non-existent. Literally took 30 min to get four glasses of club soda and that set the stage for the whole meal’s service. We were sitting outside on the patio, a few other tables were seated as well and it wasn’t that crowded inside either. Need to step up their service game!

Felt a bit rushed as we were seated after 9.
There were issues with the app so I couldn’t pay on the app. The 10 dollar coupon was not loaded in my account.

Amazing healthy food options and friendly knowledgeable staff! It’s become our “home” kitchen away from home 💫

Excellent food. Love the Turkey burgers, also enjoyed the Strawberry cocktail.

Server was nice. Food was either so spicy that I needed to drink water with every bite or so bland and no taste at all. Love the edamame dumplings but had 2 orders of it, one for my husband and one for me, one order had 5 dumplings and the other had 4.

Delicious bowls and salads, all healthy and organic. Scene is casual, outside seating is nice. very California vibe

Consistently good food , great to sit outside and did not feel rushed.

Disappointed with salad. Actually salad was good. Added grilled chicken to it. Chicken was dry and no flavor. Had hummus appetizer it was good. With 3 other people they liked their meals.

Service was great. Very accommodating and customer service was outstanding

Very good, very unique. Good quality food, great cocktails
