We love the menu choices, cocktails, beer and wines, and of course the desserts (like the chocolate mousse!). The servers are friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable and will get the manager if they cannot answer a specific question. This is our Date Place❣️

Always a great experience with friendly staff.

This restaurant is amazing. I’ve eaten several times during my visit to San Diego. Great options for people who are vegans. The service is great- in fact beyond great.

Hi Lovegoodfood! Thank you so much for the review! - Jeremy
Our Book Club met at True Food Kitchen and had a wonderful, welcoming experience. We appreciated the excellent service and the server's willingness to give us separate checks. Also, our drinks and food selections arrived promptly so we could all enjoy our discussion and the delcious food at the same time! We will be coming back and recommend couples as well as small groups, like ours, visit True Food Kitchen in Fashion Valley.
Thank you for visiting True Food Kitchen! We're happy you received top-notch service, and encourage you to return for another fun dining experience in the future.
The food was just okay at best with a general lack of appropriate seasoning and no unusual flavors. The prices were high and the portion sizes very small.

Always a great time at True Foods. The Sunrise Bowl was DELICIOUS!!!
Hi Loma321! Thank you for the review! I am glade to hear that you enjoyed our sunrise bowl! Best breakfast in town! Have a great day!
It was so amazing to finally find a restaurant to eat at with food that will bring health and vitality to my body. It’s also so delicious! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, we will definitely be back!
Great food and equally-excellent service are what we love to offer, so it's beyond gratifying to know that we are succeeding! We truly appreciate your kind words and compliments of our various menu items and the people who serve them. See you next time! Thank You!
Love True Food Kitchen period, although food took longer to come out then usual but customer service was the best. Thank you for excellent service
Thank you for sharing your experience online! Our team is glad you had a five-star visit, with patient, orderly service, and we appreciate your feedback on our unique offerings. Please come back again!
I love True Food, the food is amazingly delicious! But, this visit the service was not good at all. We were constantly looking for our waiter and when we did finally get his attention he didn't seem like he even wanted to be there. My husband and son were delivered their food and after about 15 minutes I finally got the waiters attention to ask where my food was, he wasn't even apologetic about it. I finally got it almost 1/2 an hour after my family was served, it was delivered by I'm assuming the manager who also was not apologetic. He asked if I needed anything else and I ordered another drink, which I figured he would go up personally to get since I had waited so long for my food, but no, I once again after 15 minutes had to flag down our waiter for the drink who looked like he couldn't be bothered. I hope this is not the new standard at True Food. I will probably give it one more try because I love the food, but if I get treated like that again it will be the last time I go there.
Hi Debbie! I am sorry to hear about your recent visit. That description is absolutely not our standard. I would love to set you up with lunch or dinner on us. I hope that this is something I can do for you. The best way to reach me is via email. Just let me know when you would like to join us and I will make a reservation and take care of the tab. Thank you again for bringing this to my attention, Have a great day!
Love the fresh, seasonally healthy and delicious menu! Wish we had one in OKC!
Hi Miss, Thank you so much for the review! I am glad you enjoyed your time!
Overpriced and very slow service. So many tables crowded inside it is difficult to walk around.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We will use this for ongoing coaching and to create a more relaxing dining experience for our guests. We do hope that you give us another chance in the future. Take Care!
Always a great experience.
Great service and interesting food choice - something a little different!
Everyone and everything was excellent!! The cauliflower polenta is a HUGE win!!
I was looking for good clean healthy food...as mentioned somewhere. Tacos and burgers were not what i was looking for. I was disappointed and didn't actually eat there.

The ambiance is lovely. The service was outstanding. Our wait person went out of her way to take excellent care of us. We were a party of four people and all got different dishes. Everyone loved everything. The food is delicious. We will definitely be back.
Food was over the top good!! Server was really nice but the service was a little slow.
We had a large, fun group of ladies and the team at TF was amazing! The food was prepared to perfection with attention to several sensitivities and allergies. Everything was delicious and our evening was delightful. We were all impressed and will be sure to return! Thank you True Food team!
True Food Kitchen, especially the location in Fashion Valley Mall is my healthy addiction. Super happy that manager, Jeremy is back at this location. He and his team are extraordinary. If you've never been to True Food Kitchen San Diego, you should definitely go.
Amazing!I had the kale salad with a side of salmon and it was incredible and super healthy.
It was nice to find a place where we could get some healthy organic food. We were both happy with our meals then we had a very expensive cup of tea!! Service was adequate.
While the food was good, it took an hour before our appetizers arrived and another hour before our main courses arrived. We had three small children with us and they were getting understandably hungry and grumpy. We saw the tables around us getting their food, but for some reason we were not. One member of our party had to leave without lunch because he had to get back to work. The staff did apologize and comped our appetizers, but that didn’t seem to be adequate compensation. This is the second time we’ve been here and the wait was exceedingly long.
My experience with True Food Kitchen, in particular this location in Fashion Valley, is always amazing.
The managers and their team look after the customers which makes for a great experience. It is the reason why I continue coming back again and again. I've not had one experience where the food wasn't well-seasoned. Always delicious.
The kale salad with salmon is my favorite! Yummy!
I HIGHLY recommend TFK for anyone with a limited or restricted diet. I'm on the AIP diet and was delighted to find so many things I could eat on the menu. There's a 16-page PDF on their website about allergen information for EVERY ITEM on their menu! And, our server was simply fantastic. She listened to my restrictions and made suggestions for me. She even suggested an adjustment to a menu item that I didn't think I could eat and it was amazing! I told her at the end of my meal: it's so rare that I have the opportunity to overeat when I'm dining out, but I left the restaurant full and happy. True Food Kitchen is now a *must-visit* restaurant every time I'm in San Diego.
The food is great and lots of offerings for those with dietary concerns. Plus the food tastes great! Service is amazing. But, drinks can take some time to get to you.
Wonderful food. So many healthy options that were creatively put together. We sat on patio and it was plenty warm on a chilly afternoon. Preferred outside because noise levels were lower. Staff was attentive but not pushy.
Loved the crafted cocktails. Wine list was good but a little slim on beer selections.
Great vibe and will definitely go again.
Love the new menu/!
Love, love, love True Food Kitchen! Can’t wait to go back. The food and service were AMAZING!!!
Always great food. Fall/winter menu is the best!
Excellent, healthy food. I ordered the fish tacos and they were outstanding. Our waitress was good, and the place was hopping. I would definitely go back again.
Our server brought our meals to us cold. I asked him for hot water and he never brought it and he barely checked on us.
Great vegan options. Server was an absolute doll, I really appreciated her suggestions. Food tasted fresh although we did't care for one of the dishes. Overall it was great and I will be back.
The food at TFK was amazing! Our waitress recommended the Ancient Grain Bowl for me (the Vegan) in addition to the T.L.T sandwich that was also amazingly delicious. My better half thoroughly enjoyed the Thai Coconut Sea Bass along with some nice white wine! The ambiance was nice and very comfortable, albeit a little chilly on a cool SD winter's evening. The hostesses and wait staff were all very nice and greeted us promptly and with warm smiles -We'll definitely return and try the rest of the amazing menu items and will recommend TFK to anyone looking for a healthy meal at a reasonable price. Thank you TFK, see you again soon!
Waitress appeared to be in a bad mood. Food took a long time to be served. They were out of lasagna. The hostess was very nice.
Hello, My name is Danielle, one of the managers here at True Food Kitchen. I'm sorry to hear about your last visit. This information is valuable for ongoing coaching. We would love to have you back so that you can enjoy the lasagna that you were missing. If you make a reservation via Open Table or phone at 619.810.2929 please ask for me. I would love to personally oversee you're dining experience. We hope to see you soon! Danielle
Just the same complaints that I have with other places. The noise level OR MUSIC, is too loud for a group of four or six people to have a conversation.
Hi Reginald, My name is Danielle, one of the managers here at True Food Kitchen. It can get loud in certain areas of the restaurant, especially with our open kitchen concept. I always recommend one of our two dining patios for a quieter dining experience. We are also more than happy to turn down music for guests when requested. We hope to see you again soon, Reginald!
