   True Food Kitchen is definitely one of our favorite restaurants to go to for a celebration with family and friends or just a date night as a couple. The food is always fantastic and healthy. The service is very hospitable and attentive. The grassfed burger is a must. We try something new on the menu each visit and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend you try it and hope you love coming here as often as we do...and now our family and friends we have brought too!

   This was my second visit - enjoyed my first so much I wanted to bring friends who live in the area and had not been here yet. I live an hour away Seating inside was so noisy we couldn’t hear each other speak. Our server was very friendly and polite but forgot requests for water, ice bucket, beverage refresh for guest not drinking wine. Entree arrival timing too soon - not finished with appetizers; asking if guest finished when he’s obviously not. Food is good - overall vibe is good I’ll be back - will ask for / wait for outside seating next time

   Food was excellent and so was the service. This was the busiest restaurant in Pasadena, for good reason.

   Food was delicious overall, but some of the salads and bowls are over priced for what you get. Ordered the sweet potato glass noodles and added shrimp. They didn’t season the shrimp and it was obvious they used frozen shrimp.

    Pros- Edamame dumplings. Spinach pizza, spaghetti squash, cocktails all delicious Cons- ordering via QR code was not working properly and cheapens the experience. Sword fish very dry.

    Everything was excellent. The food was delicious, authentic and very healthy from my point of view. The place was spotless, the service was very fast, polite and helpful when deciding what to order from the menu. This is my fifth time visiting this restaurant and I definitely will be back. We ordered starters: Tomato Lemon Ricotta Flatbread and the corn tortilla soup. For our entrées we had the Spinach and Mushroom Pizza, Sea Bass & of course for the dessert we had to definitely order the delicious Cheesecake, this one is a must to try. It was so creamy, it melts in your mouth.

    I like to eat here on occasion if I'm in Old Town shopping or meeting one of my daughters as a halfway point. I had dinner last night with a daughter and I have to say I feel like the food has zero flavor. The kale salad is always hit or miss with flavor. Last night it felt like it was dressed in water. There was no garlic in it at all. No flavor. The guacamole appetizer should also just be renamed as "Mashed Avocado". There wasn't even any salt in it. No flavor at all. We shared the salad and the vegan spinach/mushroom pizza. The bottom of the crust was burned. Really disappointed lately with the food.

    True Food Kitchen - PasadenaResponded 7 days agoHello Luv2dine I am sad to read your review. Your feedback is welcomed and we genuinely pride ourselves on great, flavorful food. I would love the opportunity to invite you back in and enjoy some of our fan favorites.

    Birthday, we requested it ahead of time, but the server forgot and I was too embarrassed to ask at the table since I knew the birthday girl would not be okay if we brought it up. Hence, the reservations and prior comments.

    It is a nice environment and restaurant to spend time with friends or family. The poke bowl was very good, and refreshing on a hot day. I like that it came with avocado and cucumbers. The strawberry margarita was very good. The dessert we tried was very tasty, which was the flowerless chocolate with vanilla ice cream.

    TFK never disappoints. The staff is super friendly and efficient, the atmosphere is lively, and the food is delicious. We wanted to start with the dumplings but they were out and had to wait an hour so we shared the chicken sausage pizza; it was light and tasty. My niece had the seabass that was very flavorful and tender. I had the Korean beef which was tender and spicy. We had the flourless chocolate cake to complete the dining experience. Had to go for a walk after but it was well worth it.

    The food and ambiance at True Food were so beyond what I pictured. The only thing I would change is the noise level. It was super hard to hear our conversation. That was the only downside though.

    It was Father’s Day, so definitely busier than usual. They were out of several items on the menu even tho it was early in the day. It took a while to get our food, and to get the attention of staff at different points. The salmon entree, chicken wrap and flourless chocolate cake were great. The vegan cheesecake and spaghetti squash casserole were mush; definitely don’t need to have those again.

    Drinks never disappoint. However, the sweet potato hash were uniformly bad- they were dry, tasteless, and some pieces uncooked. Wouldn’t order the turkey burger again because it was just meh. Last but not least, there seems to not be enough pita chips with the edamame guac, which is our go to app.
