Reviews

I had high expectations for this place, but my experience was quite disappointing.
The order took 40 minutes to arrive, which was already off-putting. The vegan burger was incredibly dry, making it difficult to swallow.
There was no plant-based cheese or sauce included.
After requesting some, they offered vegan mayo, which was far from adequate for a $20 burger.
I won’t be ordering this again. I had also asked for a side of potatoes, which looked tempting, but they were extremely dry as well. The margarita pizza lacked any significant flavor. Our bill totaled around $65 for two people, and the overall experience was far from satisfactory.
I’m not sure what the hype is about.

Hello Foram, this is Michael Blecman, General Manager at True Food Kitchen.
I apologize for this experience.
I would like the opportunity to show you that we are better then what you experience and show you what the hype is all about.
Please e mail at michael.blecman@truefoodkitchen.com.
Thank you.

Personally, the philosophy of True Food appeals to me 100%.
Somehow it just didn’t quite hit as well as I thought it would.
Great ingredients did not quite lead to great tasting food.
Definitely, the healthiest meal you can get at the mall.
The fruit bowl was the best part of our order.
Our server was great too. Average overall.
I wouldn’t wait more than 15 minutes for this fast casual concept.

We tried the Carrot Cake Dessert.
The crunch of the base and crisp walnuts were a perfect combination, but the tender coconut ice cream scoop brings the dessert to another level.
They all really blend well on the taste buds. Definitely recommend to also try the Butternut Squash Pizza. On another visit: The pink tart with coconut cream won our hearts.
Also, the street style corn flatbread added the final zest.
