   Food was very slow, my husband felt really sick after his gochuchang Korean steak. The rice in my ancient grains bowl was over cooked. Turkey burger was soso. Not the usual standard we are used to at true foods, but it was very crowded for a Sunday evening, so I chalked it up to that.

   Normally, everything is outstanding. Last night I tried something new; the Korean beef, it was chewy and tough. I will stick with the Salmon…always excellent..

   I made a reservation. We were there on time. The two of us were seated in the middle of a crowded super noisy room. We had to yell to hear each other. The drinks took 40 minutes to arrive. The food was boring. I ordered a salad that had no flavor in the dressing. In fact, I'm not even sure if there was dressing on it. It was dry. I will never come back on a weekend.

   Service sucks. They left us there waiting over 30 min to take an order and brought out the appetizer with the entrees when we specifically asked for the appetizer to be brought first. We didn’t even want to order an appetizer but we were hungry after waiting so long for our drink order to be taken. The food had zero flavor. A little salt and pepper goes a long way. Try it !

    We’ve been here many times and are always pleased, but the staff surpassed themselves this time. It was Mother’s Day and every table was packed. People with reservations were waiting on the sidewalk. We could see that greeters, wait staff, and bus staff were everywhere… efficiently and pleasantly doing there jobs. My party was seated exactly at the time of our reservation! Our orders were taken and served in a timely manner. Our server was smiling and communicative. We never felt rushed or ignored. A marvelous experience under what must have been a difficult shift for everyone.

    Mother’s Day lunch Basically the menu arrived late, the server didn’t come to our table for at least 10 minutes after we were seated The food arrived at different time for each one of us The food was cold not prepared as ordered We had made reservation for two tables and they didn’t accommodate us to seat close to each other and we understood but then for billing they combined our bill so I am so disappointed My nieces food and sauce on it so she couldn’t eat and we had to order pizza for her Completely unsatisfactory We have reservation for June 11th at another location for 15 people now I am thinking of choosing a different restaurant

    I absolutely do not recommend True Food Kitchen - Pasadena. I have been to True Food Kitchen at San Diego and Fashion Island and the service and food was on a totally different level. The Pasadena location was overbooked, service was terrible, food was disgusting, and it took them over an 1 hour to bring our food after we were seated (despite having booked a time 1 week in advance). I would give them a 0 star but I don't think that is an option.

    Our first time here. Loved the menu. There were a few special items for Mothers Dsy but we ordered from the standard menu. Lots of healthy choices. The restaurant was very busy for Mother’s Day but didn’t have to wait long. Service was acceptable under the circumstance. Everyone was happy with the food. The mimosa’s seemed a bit weak. We will definitely go there again.

    Would have been an awesome Mother’s Day brunch, but a server brought out a plate of charred cauliflower without a warning that the plate was extremely hot- and my wife grabbed it to move it over and burned her fingers. A few dollars were taken off of the bill, but I’m not certain if that truly was enough.

    Went for Mother’s Day. They had us in a make shift section due to overbooking I’m sure. Felt like we were at a 5 year olds birthday party out back in folding chairs. Our food came out cold. No less than 15 times did the servers try and deliver food to all the wrong tables. The manager did take care of part of our bill and had our food remade. It was a very upsetting Mother’s Day for my family and I to say the least.

    We’ve been here before but this time the food was average. Oddly, the food came before the coffee (we were seated at a table) and the coffee came in a paper cup. Totally unappealing. Our server spent a lot of time asking how we were and little time actually serving. (I went to get my own hot sauce because my breakfast got cold waiting for her.)
