The food is amazing and the service is great! My only complaint in terms of service is I made reservations and specifically asked for outdoor seating and was confirmed outdoor seating was available, but when I got to the restaurant the seating wasn’t available. I arrived early and noticed they were not reserving tables indoor or outdoor just allowing guests reserved or not to sit wherever. I am totally fine with eating inside but was disappointed I wasn’t able to sit outside.
True Food Kitchen - San Diego UTCResponded on June 17, 2025
Thank you for your feedback, Macayla. We're glad you enjoyed the food and service, and apologize for the seating issue; we'll work on improving our reservation process to ensure a better experience next time.

Food was extremely salty. As someone who comes here a lot, it was disappointing. Also the server barely showed up so we had to wait a lot.

We're sorry to hear about the overly salty food and the lack of attentive service, Rahul. Thank you for your feedback; we'll work on improving these aspects to enhance your future visits.

The food and service were top notch. Parking is a bit challenging, but you can find spots on the street. I had a burger with a gluten free bun. The burger was grass fed and cooked perfectly and the gluten free bun delicious. We will eat there again.

I always have a great experience at True Food. The food is great and the service is great too. Their cork fee is only $15, so that was great too. It is one of my go-to restaurants!
