True Food Kitchen - Fairfax

Lovely brunch. Excellent service. Delicious food. Relaxing and fun!

I love this place! Amazing, very friendly service and good food! High recommendation!

The restaurant was fine, the server was very friendly, the food was good but the evening was soured because even though we made a reservation we had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. We were told that our table had been given away to a different party who did not have a reservation. What is the point of making a reservation if it won’t be respected? Members of our party had hired a babysitter and had to cut short the night given the 30 minute delay. No apologies were made nor any efforts at compensating us...it was very disappointing.

Brought some new peeps to this place and as always, they LOVE IT! Such a great concept with some tasty options!

Great food as always!

The place was rather noisy, at times I had a difficult time hearing my friend who was sitting across from me. I was disappointed that the server came with one check. She did not ask beforehand if we wanted separate checks. The food, however, was very good, just a little pricey for the amount.

I love True Foods but I do wish the set-up were a bit different at times - I made reservations for two and they sat us in the middle of the corridor / walkway that leads to the bathroom/kitchen. We constantly had people brushing past us on one side and were practically on top of the table of people that sat to the other side of us. Also, the food is always great but be prepared to spend a pretty penny here - our meal was two entrees and one very small appetizer and a modest bottle of wine - total was around ~$120.

Excellent service and food!

Very energetic atmosphere. The food is 100% anti-inflammatory, which looked like health food. What we ordered was delicious but much of the menu was a bit intimidating. It was a crowded Friday night. Not recommended for a quiet date night. Fun for friends.

Food is spectacular, as always, as are the servers. A little overpriced, and a little noisy. But neither of those issues keeps me from going repeatedly.

Delicious, fresh food. a good choice of non-alcoholic drinks, and just-right service. Yes, I'll be going again.

Love this place! Food is amazing and they are able to easily customize meals for dietary restrictions.

Our waitress made our lunch very special with her pleasant smile and exceptional customers service. One of the female managers visited our table to make sure we were please with our food.

Sweet potato glass noodle bowl was yummy. Not crazy about the pickled mushroom caps, but otherwise very flavorful. My friend had the fish tacos and said they were good. Squash pie was delish. Service was outstanding.

Ordered the herb hummus (portion is small, but tasty), roasted squash pizza, Korean glass noodles (very good) and edamame dumplings (again small portion but soooo good). Cocktails were low on alcohol but tasted good. We ordered the ginger margarita and beet the John cocktails. Enjoyed our food.

Great food and is always very consistent. Love coming here and feeling good about what I eat while also tasting good. The service however continues to be an issue. This last time the problem was with the host stand. We came without a reservation for a party of three because open table was showing a lot of openings. When we got there they said it would be a half hour wait. So I literally got on my phone and made a reservation for ten minutes later and was seated immediately because now I had a reservation. It makes no sense. Food service is ok but usually have to remind wait staff for things like water and that part of the order hasn’t arrived. I like this place a lot but would like them to work harder to fix service issues.

Great food & experience. My friends and I lingered a bit long at our table talking but they were super accommodating to us. Avocado toast was great.

But only with the understanding that they are going to spend a lot of $$ on not a lot of food. I am not expecting heaps of food. But I was shocked that my lunch amounted to more than $30 and I just had one entree (curry with salmon). I understand that the quality of their products and food is worth more than your average restaurant. I just wish there was more of it.

Very energetic atmosphere. Busy and loud! But we still managed to talk over it.

I’ve eaten here several times. The menu is unique. The food is good and the drinks are creative. The servers are friendly. However, the noise level is so extreme, I might not go back. We could not carry on a conversation without shouting. We went at lunchtime, thinking the noise wouldn’t be as bad. But that was not the case.

I am a health conscious person that appreciates fresh, local, and organic food choices. There aren't many restaurants that match these criteria, but this is one of the rare few. The food was delicious and they had a wonderful variety. The environment is delightful, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend True Food Kitchen for anyone that wants to enjoy a meal out while eating healthy at the same time.

Always a pleasure to eat at True Food Kitchen. The variety, quality, inventiveness and flavor of the food never disappoints. I recommend TFK to everyone hands down. Seasonal dishes keep interest fresh, service is very good, drinks are fun and interesting. A plus!

Great for lunch with a friend!

Took my husband out to brunch with family to celebrate his birthday... love the great vegan options you have, just wish you could provide more on the kids menu

The seating for my guest and I was cramped at our small table for two. I felt as though I was elbow to elbow with the person sitting to my right and the annoyance of being brushed by the coats of patrons walking by on my left. Everything was terrific except for feelings cramped the whole time.

Our go-to place for bringing friends from out-of-town. The food never disappoints. The noise level on a Saturday can make hearing in a group of 6 a challenge. On the other hand, the energy associated with the noise is all positive, and no one heard a one-year old when he wasn't happy.

Great service, outstanding healthy food. Excellent flavors with the right seasoning.

Great place to eat, meet friends, have a healthy meal. Only problem is the noise level; conversation was difficult with anyone not next to me. Otherwise a 5 stars.

Fantastic food and setting!

Excellent food. Wait time was long.

Although it is one of the noisiest restaurants you can try the food is amazing.

This was my second time at this restaurant and I knew I had to bring my parents (Dad is super into this kind of concept) and they loved it. This was a dinner out for my kiddos 4th birthday and she had a blast!

Good but wrong food was put in my doggy bag.

Love the food! My friend and I split an order of roasted beet n goat cheese flatbread, fish tacos, and the Korean noodle. Food was fabulous! Place wasn’t busy at all since it was close to 1:30, but I was surprised at the slow service. Maybe just an off day, usually service is much better.

Loved the food and the waiter. I see that the menus are changed out seasonally, so I missed seeing my Moroccan chicken. (In its place was Mediterranean chicken.) So, I ordered the salmon with quinoa which was great. My only quibble with many restaurants, including this one, is that they seat parties at adjacent tables when there are enough empty tables that could be utilized to improve privacy. We were seated directly next to a party of 4, so we moved one table away. Shortly after that, the host seated a party at the table directly next to us on the other side. There were a number of empty tables so I don't understand why hosts don't factor this into their seating choices. (The couple next to us was louder than we would have liked.)

Great service and a delicious meal

Our group of 4 tried this on Fri night. Only one of our group had eaten here before and he enjoyed it. We were all surprised by the 'health food' aspect of the menu - many of the items were more spicy (seasonings - not heat) than we expected. It was a bit of a challenge ordering but the restaurant was great about modifying the dishes we ordered. All in all we all liked our meals - but it took a bit of 'work' to find dishes we could start with. I guess we aren't as adventuresome as most people are. The fact that all of the dishes are described so thoroughly did allow us to modify them to our tastes. We will go back - now that we know what to expect - and can modify them - but it probably won't become a routine restaurant for us.
The ambiance was a bit on the noisy side - and luckily we sat next to the kitchen so we were out of the 'child' area and it was quieter.

Date night, our 30TH wedding anniversary! They treated us like royalty. I had lots of special food requests because of a specific food plan I’m on - no problem! Very accommodating. Impressive! We will be back very soon.

Great healthy food with a ton of options!

Best CLEAN food!!! The service was excellent and I'm so glad she recommended I try the Teriyaki Quinoa Bowl. So good!!

The food taste......very fair. It seems in the chief's mind, healthy and good food = boiled vegetables and fresh meat.
