True Food Kitchen - Pasadena

Great outdoor patio; good food; big portions; good locations

Outdoor seating during Covid.... we sat in the courtyard area which was nice. Had the turkey burger which was really good but didn’t like the “sweet potato hash” which was flavor less and dry. Everyone else liked their burgers as well. Service was not great because of Covid..... but I guess that is to be expected. I would go again .....

Menu too limited. Should have a Steak or Chicken Entre as an offering.

Good service, food and drinks was delicious, and safe.

Heater didn’t work all the time we spent there
Food is not tasty at all
Out of 6 dishes only one was ok
Four people cost was 170$ with only 2 glasses of wine

Delicious food nice atmosphere would go again perfect for lunch

Waitress was outstanding,

Contactless ordering and paying is easy.

Need a steak entree.

Loved the food and the service was fantastic!

Really slow to clean plates and bring wine. Fortunately, a wonderful server Kellen saved the experience for us.

We love going to True Food it’s so great! Headed back soon.

You need to try the salmon, Brussels Sprouts and Mushrooms appetizer and the charred cauliflower appetizer. They are scrumptious!!!!

Great outdoor space in Pasadena! Lots of heaters for a cool evening. Food was mostly good...the chicken wrap was a poor choice on my part. Hummus to die for. Good mixed drinks, and lots of passion from our server about the menu items' ingredients.

The food was good.

True Food is consistent when it comes to food quality. Service can be a hit and miss. Even with reservations, prepare to wait 15-20 minutes. It is a popular spot after all.

Food and drinks were delicious. Seating was great.

Very little interaction with the staff due to COVID. You order everything on the app, and pay on the app too. Wasn't sure how much to tip since no one paid attention to us. In fact, two of us dropped our knives, and no one came by to replace them.

My main complaint is that it took a long time to get seated, even though we had a reservation. We arrived 20 minutes early and seated 10 minutes or more after our reservation. Many people were seated before us who arrived after us. I felt like we were forgotten. No one gave us a time frame of when we would be seated. At the time of my reservation, I went up to make sure they had us down, and the hostess said we were next, and then 3 more groups were seated ahead of us.

Wonderful selection of vegan options, and you can request a dish be made vegan. Some delicious dishes we had were the avocado toast, butternut
squash pizza, and ancient grains bowl.
Service was great. Parking lot a block away. Be sure to make a reservation as they are very popular.

Great food and services. Come back soon. My first visit in this location. Very consistent. Had a good time.

We had a wonderful lunch here. Our server couldn't have been better, and the food was just what we wanted it to be! I love the butternut squash soup, and the pizza. The steak tacos were lean and delicious. Highly recommend.

Thankful for their spacious outdoor eating areas. Great food and service better than prior visits.

First, it felt safe to eat there. Additionally the butternut squash soup was awesome - came piping hot and just the right amount. Really a healthy option and I really appreciated our waiter who didn’t rush us...knowing I hadn’t seen my friend in months.

Love love True Food Kitchen! The best food and outstanding service with a great outdoor ambience and I can bring our golden retriever! It’s the essence of the ideal Saturday brunch!

I was surprised at the number of tables available. We had to ask for,paper menus as the app would not work for us. The food came quickly but the steak in the steak tacos was almost too tough and overcooked to eat. My friend ordered salmon and said it was good.
I am no recommending it based on this and past experience. However it is good to know there is a place with plenty of outside seating.

True food is always a go-to for me. The food is consistent and delicious; I always know I can get a healthy meal that tastes amazing, and great service.

excellent salmon and excellent vegan options as usual

TFK has a new system where you barely even need the waiter. You can order all of your food from your phone and they just bring it out to you. Make sure you coordinate with the people at your table so you don’t have appetizers coming out last. Overall great place and I’ll be back!

Felt very safe eating here. Definitely will be back.

Very nice atmosphere, completely compliant with COVID considerations. Service excellent but food somewhat overpriced. Two small shrimp tacos for $19.50 and a garden salad for $13.50?

The food was amazing. Our waiter was super helpful and nice. Perfect place for a Great dinner and a good time!

Good service. And great food. They do push you to consume drinks - but if you resist that temptation, the food alone is stellar. The drinks are overpriced and ordinary.
But menu is great and food choices awesome.

Delicious healthy lunch. Order and check were done through my cell phone, so very contactless, except of course, meals brought to the table.

Service was terrible and we talked to 3-4 different people to help us with our order. The server we had was perky and friendly but the whole experience was a disappointment. I wanted a second drink. Asked for it and it didn't come in a timely fashion told the hostess I no longer wanted it. In spite of all this, we still left a $20 tip.

It was very nice, but chilly!!!!!!

We enjoyed our meal for lunch very much. The service was great, the food delicious and it felt safe and distanced from other tables.

We love coming back here to eat. The food is fabulous but our server, Jo aka Jo-Jo is THE BEST and makes our dining experience so much better!

Made reservations for 7:45pm but didn't get seated till almost 8:30pm and it was raining outside with no cover for the guests. We had stand under a patio umbrella crowding a couples table so we could avoid the rain. Ordered appetizers but didn't get them until after our main courses came out. Our waiter was great so she made up for the various inconveniences but I probably would not come back.

I had special dietary needs and our server Rohana went beyond to make my dining experience great

This place always kills it. Food is fresh and healthy but still has good sized portions. We got the seasonal salad, noodle bowl and burger and they were all amazing

Salmon was over cooked 2x . Service was poor .
