    Another good experience. Quiet and comfortable in the restaurant. Service was good, as was the food. Great quality and healthy. The restaurant is in a calm part of the mall, and easy to get to from the parking garage. All around perfect for the business lunch.

    We used to love dining at True Foods but sadly the quality of food has gone down hill lately! We had to send back the air-frier chicken tenders because they were cold in the middle. Overall, very mediocre food for the price.

    We're sorry to hear about the decline in food quality and the issue with the chicken tenders. Your feedback is appreciated; We will use this information to improve our food quality for future guest and for your next visit.
