    When questioned about any allergies, I said I indicated that I am unpleasantly sensitive to cilantro. My tuna poke was liberally seasoned with it. Disregard by kitchen or waitress, it is not acceptable.

    This restaurant offers a wide range of healthy options from across different cuisines. I love the fact that there is no pork and no seed oil in the restaurant at all. We all found that our food was very acidic and lemony, however. Every single dish regardless of cuisine or course had way too much lemon. Maybe an off night but it was our experience, nonetheless. I would be willing to try this place one more time and will update my review if the experience is different.

    Went here for the first time on Mother's Day. I have always wanted to try it here. I am so happy I did. My family and myself enjoyed the food. I especially loved the edamame dumplings, they were delicious. I had the salmon and that was also very good and just the right amount of food. great atmosphere and also service.

    We’ve eaten at this restaurant many times before. This time we were greeted with pounding loud “music” (although you could only hear the bass) which made conversation impossible. After being seated we were ignored by the staff for 10 minutes until we got up and left. We are unlikely to return.
    True Food Kitchen - HackensackResponded on May 12, 2025
    We're sorry to hear about the noise level and lack of attention from our staff during your visit, Andrew. Thank you for your feedback; we'll address these issues to improve the dining experience for our guests.
