The restaurant is beautiful in it's simplicity - that goes for the decor as well as the food. I had a bowl of the lemon chicken soup that was delicious - it tasted like my grandma had made it. I also had ahi tuna sliders with sweet potatoes and kale salad. I like kale, but that kale salad was the... More

I love this restaurant. It is green (in color & healthy), with nice seating inside out. The green tea is better than Starbucks and my Thai dish was as good as any Thai food found at a family run place. The Edamame dumplings were especially good. Vegans and vegetarians will be happy. Those who like some meat in their meal... More

We went for lunch on a Wednesday. It was busy enough that we had a 15 minute wait at 1:30pm. There are tables for 2 and 4, and communal tables for 6 or 8. Also bar seating and outdoor seating. For the communal tables and the bar, you don't have to wait. Our waiter was attentive, friendly and efficient. The... More

Healthy, natural food and drink with great service. We came back here a few times, as we really enjoyed the fresh food. Everyone here was also really friendly and helpful.

We really enjoyed eating at True Food, the food was flavorful and healthy. The only problem is that we left hungry, and we don;t have unusually large appetites.

It's surprising it took this long for a clever entrepreneur to apply all the ingredients necessary for a hit dining experience. I was surprised to learn it began in Tucson, AZ. Now with corporate backing they are able to take the concept of the anti-inflammatory diet to delectable taste-bud heights. My son is a vegetarian but not vegan. No worries.... More

I sat down at the bar and it was a very busy Saturday but nonetheless I had excellent service. I tried a couple of veggie drinks and a salad. Quick service and very very clean, crisp, hip environment. I never felt better and more energetic after eating that big of a meal! Not surprising given the menu. I looked around... More

We had dinner here and returned the next day for lunch! Everything we had was delicious. I loved the vegetable drinks they blend. The salads are wonderful. My husband ordered a pizza and it was very similar to pizza we ate in Italy last fall. The Edamame Dumplings are delicious. We tried several items and they were all wonderful and... More

Everything I've had and seen here is healthy, the service is fast and kindly, the prices are fair for what you get, how you get it, in the atmosphere you get it in. A GREAT place to meet and talk business over a healthy meal.
