True Food Kitchen - San Diego FV

Have been there a total of three times. Not going back ever again. Food super expensive and super bland .

First visit and we loved it. Food was great and service was ideal.

It was not up to par this time, unfortunately. My table was dirty and wet when I sat down and it took a long time to get someone to wipe it down. The service was not great. Waiters would walk by but I couldn’t make eye contact. The servers seemed aloof and unavailable. The food wasn’t as tasty as normal either. The salmon was dry and the shrimp was super dry and rubbery. I’m going to chalk it up to a bad day and try again sometime.

Great service, the outside patio is delightful, unfortunately the food is just not very good at all and it is overpriced.

Everyone was great, the food came out quickly and everything tasted amazing! Our server was very kind and she hooked it up with a birthday dessert! Excellent time celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday! The vegan options are out of this world and we enjoyed every second!

Our server and everyone else on the staff was very friendly!

Avocado Bruchetta was a little stale as well as the pita bread.
Didn't taste as fresh as usual.

We had cauliflower app, always a favorite. Chopped salad with chicken and the Korean noodle bowl with steak.perfect! The waitress was fantastic! Just an enjoyable night all around!

It's worth going to

The food was just okay and the drinks were not good. I'm surprised because I hear such great things about this restaurant. I don't plan to return. : (

Wonderful wait staff!

Nice healthy birthday lunch!

Out with my daughter for her birthday and we had a lovely dinner. Always a good experience at True Food. I enjoyed a delicious glass of wine with my healthy and tasty ahi tuna bowl. I highly recommend!

I meet two colleagues for a business meeting. Our Server was polite and efficient. The food was wonderful. I'll definitely return for a date night with my husband!

I know we can count on True Food for consistent high quality and ample choices on its menu. Shrimp tacos, albeit a bit messy, are my current favorite although we've been delighted by the bowls, pizzas, and salads, too. Food is thoughtfully displayed. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Always good!

Celebrating friendship

Food and service were excellent. Highly recommend.

My very health conscious friend picked this place to east. Really enjoyed the kale salad but was starving an hour later. Wish they served pita or something heartier with it.

The food is excellent, fresh and interesting. Highly recommend.

Our waiter was great, and he was very knowledgeable about the food, especially when it came to my food allergies. We loved the ambience of the place as well. My only complaint is - my family and I were very obviously in the middle of saying a quick prayer - and the woman bringing out the food interupted us to tell us about the food she was bringing out. She could have just set the food down. It was just distasteful. Other than that, everything and everyone was amazing!

We were celebrating our friends new job!

Amazing, wholeosme food! Very friendly servers and staff

We made reservations for 2pm and arrived 15min early and checked in. We were told they were cleaning tables and would be with us shortly so we stepped to the side. As time passed by we noticed that different parties were being seated. Out of 5-6 parties being seated ahead of us, there were 3 parties of 2 that walked up and were seated. At 2:05 I stepped back in line to check on our table. Seems they had forgotten about us.

Our waitress on the other hand was amazing. Super attentive And aware and very very nice!

Food was delicious.
Our waiter was attentive until he was not. Took a while for our actual entree’s to come out because I think he forgot to put them in at first. But overall good experience.

Food was great as always. Super friendly servers and very nice and safe feeling atmosphere. I go regularly and I'm never disappointed.

Nice place with healthy meals. Great service and very pleasant ambiance.

Hello,

The appetizer spring roll, the tuna was NOT fresh and I couldn’t eat it, the sweet potatoes were raw, couldn’t eat them, and my bison burger was well done and not rare.

I’ve eaten there 10 times and had great meals. This visit to True Foods was disappointing.

Food was amazing...the service was great...the waitress was very friendly and nice...But had a sticker shock with a Margarita double shot upsell!!!! $21 ... i am asking for a price, the next time i order any drinks..

Food and atmosphere was very good. We sat outside and they had heaters which kept it very comfortable.

I used to Love, Love Love True Food Kitchen. This weekend was hopefully just a one off experience. After my three friends and I ordered I seriously think they forgot our order. When it was served everyone's food was cold. It was a rainy day and I was really looking forward to some hot soup. The avocado toast was cold and there was a hair in one of the eggs. I brought it to the attention of the wait staff and they were apologetic and comped that part of the bill and brought out a fresh one to replace it. They were very nice about that. I hope this is not a sign of what a lot of restaurants are doing post covid - cutting corners, lowering quality on food and raising prices to try to make up for all the loss of the last year and a half. I may think twice before having another gathering again at True Food Kitchen.

Nice restaurant with delicious food. They offer food specially of the season and they have vegan and vegetarian options. The only downside would be that for us it was a little bit expensive for what we ate.

Food was excellent! Service was amazing! Great gluten-free vegan options, plus delicious stuff for the meat-eaters in our party, too! Can’t wait to go back!

Outstanding! Meal delicious & our server was nice & fun.
I would totally come back for dinner again.

My favorite healthy eating place. Excellent for eating outside. Can get chilly and breezy. Recommend a little live music at happy hour and weekend times. Now competing with Marlin bar which has HH everyday and live music Thursday thru Sunday later afternoons and into evening. Love True Food!!!
