    popular chicken bowl was cold when it came out…Brussel portion very small. Did not feel like $100 dining experience (just 2 appetizers & 2 small bowls - No alcohol. Very overpriced for what you get. :( server was GREAT! Not her fault at all. We won’t be back unless we really want to overpay for mediocre experience

    True Food Kitchen - Santa MonicaResponded on November 15, 2023

    Kelly, Sorry to hear that this experienced happened to you during your visit. Cold Chicken Bowl is never what we want to deliver to the guest. I would love to host you and your friend again in the upcoming week. If you may call the store and ask to speak with Kevin, I would love to set up a VIP experience for you and your friend. Love reading that service was great, but wished we would have corrected this day of. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

    Fantastic Service!!! I had my 25th birthday party there and they were very friendly, accommodating, and made my birthday dinner fantastic. I had 16 people people at my dinner which can be a big hassle for checks. But True Food Kitchen/ my waiter was super accommodating and let us split the bill 4 ways (every 4 people sitting close to each other got a separate check). This led to a very stress free, smooth environment. The drinks were super tasty and we all had a bunch of different drinks off their menu. The mezcal was my personal favorite. The food lived up to its name as being very healthy. I don’t like super healthy food so it wasn’t the best for me but it was not misleading as that is their mission to serve healthy restaurant caliber dishes. The Brussels sprouts and fried cauliflower were my personal favorite appetizers. All in all, great experience

    Dietary concerns were addressed and the food tasted good. However, the service was very slow and the portions were not were the price over value. We were highly disappointed in that respect when we noticed other dishes that were more generous than what we were offered for the price we paid. The hostess seemed depressed and the waiters were very dismissive. Additionally, someone was smoking in the vicinity which was very unpleasant. I would still recommend this restaurant to a friend as the drinks were outstanding.

    True Food Kitchen - Santa MonicaResponded on October 25, 2023

    Seattle, Sorry to hear that you had this experience with us at the Santa Monica location. I hate hearing about the smoke, next time please let management know so we can go ask the people to not to smoke in the mall. I will circle back with the host on this shift as we should never be giving off those impression to our guest. I would love to host you in the future to show you that this was a one off. Please reach out to the store and ask for Kevin, and I will gladly set something up for you!

    Burger was overcooked, thin and unappealing. Food came out separately even though we asked for it together. Found myself looking at McDonald's across the street and laughing that it probably tasted similar. Nobody asked us how was our food... Good thing I was hungry enough not to care too much.

    We all loved our meals here!! Curry bowl and salmon, terryaki bowl and tofu, Greek salad and margherita pizza. The street corn flatbread appetizer was so good my kids asked if we could recreate it when we get home. The drink options offered something fun for everyone! For dessert, we tried to split one flourless chocolate cake…and then ordered a second lol. The waitress was also very sweet and ran after us when my son left behind his sweatshirt. We can’t wait to go back because there is so much on the menu that looks right up our alley!

    If you go for an early dinner during the week, you will find the restaurant virtually empty. The space is open and airy and very comfortable to have a meal. The food is good. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The only thing I would have to say is that when I ordered the ancient bowl, they served that bowl with a very spicy sauce which was not listed on the menu. I do not eat spicy foods so I had to return that dish and order a different dish.

    True Food Kitchen - Santa MonicaResponded on August 23, 2023

    I am so glad you enjoyed our atmosphere and found our staff friendly and helpful! Sorry that we do not notate spice levels on the menu. Since we do have quite a few dishes that contain spice, next time you dine with us just mention it to your server and they will be happy to help you find something for you to enjoy.

    The service was excellent. We also ordered watermelon salad (great, but spicy), edamame dumplings (great), pizza was excellent too. The only sundae with chocolate had lots of chocolate and was too sweet for my taste. Sitting inside was a little noisy, but outside was a little chilly. I would recommend the dress warm and sit outside - it will be great

    Excellent food and drinks! We sat on the patio since we had our beagle with us. They even accommodated our dog with a large water bowl too. The food is more on the pricier side, but it definitely did not disappoint. I would go back again for sure.
