True Food Kitchen

The burger was great! Liked the kale salad. They brought the air fried fries on accident...I ate only a few but they were good(tastes like the ones I make at home), probably wouldn't pay $6 for them as a side. Nice to see a healthier french fry offered at a restaurant. Lemon-lime spritzer was tart and refreshing. I dined alone and didn't care for where they sat me-directly facing the entrance, but whatever.😊

I paid $33 for this ancient grain bowl and it came in a small side dish. I have ordered this Wall multiple times and it’s always come in a large circular bowl. In my opinion, consistency is key for a restaurant. Hence the reason why I am writing this review it’s actually pretty sad that I paid $33 and this is what I got for my dinner. I will never order Togo from this location again.

We had such a great experience! I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana with spaghetti squash — absolutely delicious! My friend had the turkey burger and said it was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. We also tried the prickly pear drinks, which were refreshing and so good. Our waitress, Grace, was lovely — friendly, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations. The atmosphere was calm and inviting. We’ll definitely be back!!

I generally love this place but I visited AZ for a couple of days and just ordered today via rideshare. They literally replaced my burger with a kids chicken strip order. Receipt included because….what..??

Great place to eat a healthy meal. Even the green décor gives that healthy warm vibe. All bowls are great. The hummus is to die for, lasagna, Cobb salad. Great location to have lunch and stroll the outdoor Biltmore mall. My server was excellent. Lovely blonde bubbly young lady. Thank you!! 😊

I went to Tru Food Kitchen with my husband for our anniversary and it did not disappoint. The food was so delicious. I got the ancient grains bowl and added steak. I really appreciate that the steak was grass fed and also that they no longer use any seed oils. This is extremely important to me when picking a restaurant. Overall, the food was amazing and the service was great. We will definitely be back again

It is my absolute favorite restaurant, and I seize every opportunity to dine there. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making each visit feel special. The food is always exquisite.

This was me and my husband's first time here last night and we loved the place, the vibe and the food! We ate outside on the patio as it felt good yesterday evening and the staff was friendly and our server, LORD, I forgot her name but she had glasses and beautiful red tip nails lol, we were complimenting each other on our nails lol. But she was very sweet and attentive! I had the Lasagne al Pesto & my husband had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and then for dessert he had the Chocolate CHIP Cookie à la mode, a vegan cookie and vegan ice cream! That is incredible!! Keep up the great work True Food Kitchen! We will be back! Also the Watermelon Lemonade we had, was so good!!

Haley was our server and she was amazing! She always wore a smile (and it didn't look fake!) and she was pleasant and helpful. She had an awesome personality and served us with pleasure. She made the visit very nice!

The food was amazing, the outdoor seating area was classy and elegant and the service was friendly, cordial and very welcoming. Haley treated us like family! Highly recommend because you will be glad you went!

Julie was great!! Drinks were fantastic, food was great and I was made to feel right at home!! The noise level was perfect!

I had an outstanding experience thanks to our server, Haley L. From start to finish, she delivered exceptional customer service with genuine warmth and professionalism. Haley went above and beyond to make our visit feel special--her attention to detail, friendly attitude, and ability to anticipate what we needed created a truly unique and memorable experience. She was knowledgeable, attentive without being intrusive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. It's rare to encounter someone who combines efficiency with such a positive, personable touch. Haley L. is a true asset, and her dedication to great service absolutely deserves recognition. Highly recommended--thank you, Haley, for making our time unforgettable!

Disappointing experience. Before I go into it, I want to acknowledge Benjamin (who I think was a busser). He was so friendly and attentive. He check in on us and made us feel like valued guests. My family and I went to dinner at True Food Kitchen today and our initial server took our drink order and told us he would be handing us off to another server which was fine. Our new server came, noticed our table wasn't served waters while we waited so he apologized and brought some out. When we ordered our food, I ordered my favorite; spaghetti squash casserole with shrimp. When our food came out my casserole did not have the shrimp, the squash was undercooked and only half of the casserole had sauce. That could be over looked because I just mixed it around and it was fine but when I asked about the shrimp our server apologized- it sounded like he didn't put that in so he said he would put in the order. The shrimp came out within minutes, unseasoned, hard and semi cold. It looked like they grabbed the cooked shrimp from the bag and attempted to warm it up. When I expressed my dissatisfaction with that I was told that's what their side of shrimp is and our waiter was called over. He apologized and said he would send the manager. The manager took about 15+ min tires to make it to our table. He whispered to my husband, said he was sorry and said we would get a discount. That's appropriated but what I would have loved is that while I waited for him to come over that a new dish with shrimp was sent my way. My family finished their meal before the manger talked to us and I left without eating. Not once was I asked if I wanted something different, sent the correct order or asked if a meal could be packed up for me to go. I did mention that to the manager and he still didn't take the hint. When the bill was brought to us, I noticed the discount but I did have to ask for my meal to be removed from the order as I never actually got to eat it. The fries with the buffalo chicken sandwich were also completely hard and overcooked but over anything else the way my food was handled was extremely disappointing. This is not what we usually experience while dining at True Food. The service and quality of the food was not what we expected.

Our server Sam was so nice and fun! I came with my family on a Sunday morning around 11am, we were seated right away since they weren't too busy. We ordered the hummus which was sooo delicious, I think I hogged it from the rest of my family lol. Price-wise, the menu wasn't TOO crazy. What I really love about this place is that it really helps for someone who is trying to be more health conscious / trying to track protein & calories (all visible on the menu). As someone who's been trying to be more mindful of diet and health, this place was a relief. One critique would be that the first dish in these series of photos (I can't remember the name, sorry!) was too salty. Other than that, the food was delish and the vibe was chill and clean!

A few friends and I chose this spot for an early dinner before attending a concert recently, based on convenience of location and that they were one of the options in the area that were listed on the inKind app. On this visit, instead of sticking to my usual order, I decided to try something different, an item off the seasonal menu. I ordered the apple lemonade and the jambalaya pasta. The apple lemonade was a bit more sour than I had anticipated but it wasn't bad. The jambalaya pasta had a nice kick of spice to it, the pasta was not over or under cooked and there was surprisingly a good amount of protein in this dish. Overall, service was fast and efficient. Like other locations, this one is similarly decorated in furnishing and color scheme. Since we were headed to a concert afterwards, we had decided to make reservations for an earlier time, but they were already quite busy when we arrived, so I highly recommend making reservations if you're thinking about dining here.

Normally I love true food. Just ordered the brussel sprouts and they were AWFUL. Extremely, inedibly salty. Extremely small portion as well.

Came here on a Sunday night with family, we didn't have a reservation, but it wasn't busy so we were able to get a table within a few minutes. We started off with the charred cauliflower appetizer, which was alright, the portion was really small and the cauliflower was definitely harder like not fully cooked and barely charred. They do have a big menu so it was hard to decide what to get when you're really hungry, but I got the teriyaki quinoa bowl, and added two pieces of the air fried chicken. When my dish came out, the portion was also pretty small and there was barely any chicken in it. Our food also took an extremely long time and when they brought out the chicken Parm that we got, everything was cold, the pasta, the chicken, and the cheese was not even melted on top. The taste was also very bland and was definitely the worst chicken Parm I've ever had at a restaurant, do not recommend. I do love though that they have fresh pressed juices. I got the bright eyes drink and it was nice and refreshing. They also have other mocktails and nonalcoholic drink options, which is nice. Considering that they weren't busy, we were really confused why our food took so long and that things were brought out cold. Maybe it was just a bad night at the restaurant, but we had high hopes for a healthy restaurant and were quite disappointed

We were pleasantly surprised with how much we enjoyed the food here. Everything tasted so good 10/10!! It was super busy and for good reason! The open kitchen was the best part of this restaurant. I love that you can see your food being prepared.

I went to True Food Kitchen with my friend over the weekend to grab lunch and we had a great time. Our server was really nice and helped us choose what to order off the menu. She even let me in on a hack since I wanted to order the spaghetti squash and add chicken - order the chicken parm, which would be the same thing, to save some $. We had to wait a while for waters as they were backed up on washing the cups. My iced shakerato was really good. I liked that it wasn't too sweet but wasn't bitter at all, despite the dark color. I ended up liking my entree a lot. I have always been a huge fan of spaghetti squash and this one was really good. I was full after, but not weighed down, so you could tell that this place is healthy and uses good ingredients. Truthfully, I think it's a little on the pricey side for what you get but I loved the decor and overall had a great time. I would go back to try the appetizers and cocktails.

Avoid True Food - total disappointment. I ordered a burger and fries along with a sourdough pizza for delivery, and it was a complete waste of money. The fries came in a bag that wasn't even half full, like they were rationing them out. All of the food showed up cold, soggy, and sad-looking, as if it had been sitting around for hours before being handed off to delivery. The burger was flavorless and limp, the pizza was rubbery and a joke of a portion, and the fries were a greasy, soggy mess. For the price they charge, the portions were ridiculously small. Absolutely nothing about this meal lived up to what the restaurant claims to be. If you want cold, overpriced, soggy food in skimpy portions, this is the place. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else.

a gluten free, dairy free pizookie? yes please! their whole dessert menu is fantastic & love all of the gluten free options. popped in for a last minute, late dinner - staff was very kind & food came out quickly.

Most True Food Kitchen's get my 5 star review. This one has the same quality food and service. However, the interior is one of my least favorites. It's very open and the tables are super close together (you can barely get in and out and I'm thin). It was also quite difficult to hold a conversation with my husband because of all the chatter at the table next to ours. Other than that, everything was great!

Everything about this place was amazing. I enjoyed the decor, the lighting, how clean it was, and the attentive staff. Very nice setting for catching up with friends over lunch. I got the pesto pasta and it was the best pasta i have tasted. Very fresh and filled with flavor. My waitress was sweet and they had plenty of seating indoors and out on the patio. Overall great experience.

Popped into True Food Kitchen for the first time after my niece's baby shower since she and her hubby are vegan--and wow, what a great choice! We had a reservation, so we were seated right away. Our server was super friendly and got our drink orders in quickly. Before we knew it, the table was filled with the most delicious-looking dishes. Everything came out fast, fresh, and full of flavor. I'm happy they have all kinds of choices--not just vegan or vegetarian. Anyone can find something they'll enjoy here. I love that they use all fresh and natural ingredients, and you can really taste the difference. The vibe was relaxed but upbeat, and it just made the whole experience even better. Safe to say, we'll definitely be back for round two!

Just keeping it completely real. Their $27.95 "special" is the same price as if you add up each component. Feels gimmicky. If you want the same meal, but healthier and for half the price, go to Flower Child. Flower Child tastes 3 times better, too.

True Food is a great option if you're looking for clean and healthier meal choices. We came here for dinner and made a reservation which I recommend doing as it gets busy. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and feels very welcoming. The hostess was friendly and our waiter was nice. We started with the Tru Crisp'd Buffalo tenders as they were on the happy hour deals. I was quite surprised by them as I don't typically like Buffalo sauce but these had a great flavor and didn't taste like Buffalo at all to me. But spicy but really good. We also ordered the Edamame dumplings but were later told that those were out (it wasn't even 5:30pm). After apps we ordered dinner- my friend got the Sza Cza salad with shrimp which she said was delicious. I originally ordered the pesto pasta but once again was told after ordering that they were out of it. I landed on the lasagna al pesto which was really good. I was disappointed that they didn't inform staff right away of things that are not available so that these issues didn't come up multiple times during a single visit.

I rarely, if ever, write negative reviews but sadly feel the need to do so. We ordered a slice of squash pie to go at the Biltmore location and were very disappointed once we got home and saw the pie. It seemed undercooked (filling wise) had a burnt crust and tasted sour! Also the filling had orange stringy pieces in it (like what is around the seeds) and we ended up throwing it all away. Not to mention the server did not even put the coconut whipped topping in the container. Total disappointment at $10.86 a slice plus $2.00 tip... ugh.

The service was great and the drinks were good. However, the food was pretty bland. The air fryer fries were cold and soggy, so I don't recommend those at all. I went with a large group, and everyone was pretty disappointed in their dish, unfortunately.

Dinner at a True Food Kitchen. We chose this restaurant because of the large Vegan selection. My daughter had the plant based burger with kales salad and side of soup. She loved it all except for the cheese which she said tasted like Kraft singles. My wife had the turkey burger with kales salad which she thoroughly enjoyed. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich which was dry with little sauce and absolutely zero spicy flavor. Disappointing. We also had deserts which were great. Also service was good.

This is usually a guaranteed winner on whatever we order. I ordered spicy panang curry bowl. When it arrived it looked like a puddle. I ate half and kept thinking it could be better. My friend ordered the Chinese chicken salad and hesitated after 2 bites. It is VERY vinegar forward. I sampled and agreed and said don't even take the leftovers. Cudos, to TFK for taking this inedible salad off the bill. It needs a warning for the typical salad eater.

It is good as long as you order the right thing. The dumplings to start are delicious. My spicy Korean chicken sandwich was weak. Not spicy. Should always be weary when they use to nuggets as opposed to a chicken breast for a sandwich. There was not much flavor. Lasagna was quite tasty, should have got that. Restaurant is clean and I like the open kitchen concept. Service was fast and friendly.

Biltmore has many restaurant options but one can't go wrong with True Foods. They use fresh ingredients and all food I've had here tastes really healthy and yummy. We had salads today. Chinese chicken salad was as expected. The chopped salad with chicken was better of the two. Service is always excellent! Enjoy! Highly recommend!!

why would you come and lie you do not pay my tips grub hub and door dash customers do, not your company you even have an attitude in your response lol , and hey things happen in the kitchen i bartend in vegas at fogo de chao so i seen it all if our restaurant is responsible for a driver waiting long when we give him the items we say our apologies for the wait can i get you a brazilian limeade to go , and i was just here for the weekend visiting family so thanks for taking me off the delivery list :)

Ancient grain bowl is such a soothing food and will definitely recommend it for great service Dessert options can be more vegan friendly

Excellent food and service. The edamame dumplings were to die for. As well as the Korean noodle bowl. Will be back for lunch!

The food is good and my partner and I love to go here for a nice dinner. Unfortunately, we both have very serious allergies and on our last visit we were reassured by the waitress that the meals we ordered were safe for us to eat (we also checked the allergy menu on the website). My partner ordered a GRILLED chicken sandwich and was brought a fried one which contains egg (one of our allergies). The waitress told us she checked everything in the sandwich EXCEPT the chicken. Food allergies are very serious and are deadly for many people. At this price point you would expect better service. If we hadn't done research on our own beforehand, this could have been a trip to the hospital. This is a haphazard and dangerous way to approach customers who have serious medical conditions. We won't trust this place ever again. We will not be returning.

I got jacked at True Foods! My $300 ring was stolen by their staff. I accidentally left it on the dining table after washing my hands, eating, then leaving. It's a big ring check out the photo. Also, their bathroom is really dirty. Whoever did not do their job prefer I leave this review. They claim to do an "investigation" and did not see the footage. I wouldn't take the time to post this but want you to know there is theft by the staff and the company does not take the claim seriously. Eat at your own discretion! Part 2 Yes, my blood sister was at the table while I washed my hands and once we left after eating was the ring taken. Again, prime example of them not listening to the concern. I find it really nasty you accuse my sister of theft. Wow

The wrap was very drying, and the chicken was lacking flavor. It was very refreshing at least because of the lettuce, but I don't think it's worth the price at all. I don't entirely remember what the side was, but I was only able to taste the sauce and nothing else as it was completely drenched in sauce. The drink was tiny for the high price, much prefer the other restaurants in the area.

Was very crowded and we had to wait a long time. The food was good but not great. Might give them another try, but the wait was a killer. The food was delivered a bit late, however the staff was courteous and was put in a bad situation from the kitchen and the volume of food being ordered. Perhaps worth another try.

We met my sister here for lunch today as we wanted a little healthier lunch. I had received a code for a BOGO entree on Facebook; so we used this today. I had the forbidden poke bowl, Sis had the Quinoa bowl with shrimp and hubby had his favorite chopped salad with added chicken. Everything was tasty, my poke bowl had a nice kick to it and Sis loves her quinoa bowl. We had iced teas and Sis had a spritzer. Service was friendly and the meals came out super fast. Our reservation was at 11:30 and they weren't too busy yet, but by the time we left, there was a line at the door. Beautiful day to enjoy the patio too. Total bill was $93 before the coupon.

I'm sure everything else here is great but I just had had to write that their turkey burger was the best turkey burger I've ever had crisp edges, juicy, and the perfect size to feel full but not regretting it afterwards. Will definitely be back for that!

True food is one of my favorite Phoenix restaurants when I'm seeking something healthy and flavorful! On every visit, the staff and service is 10/10. Incredible, personable and attentive! With our most recent visit, we sat on the outdoor patio, which is so beautiful and made me feel as if we weren't in the dry desert, but had escaped to somewhere near the beach. My love for true food only grows! Can't wait till we return

This place has a cool concept and was good, but I'm not sure if it was worth the extra money. All of the food was good though, I had the bison pizza which was delicious and the Mac and cheese was great too. I also ordered the berry cerealtini, which was very strong. My friend ordered the cinnamon toastini but didn't finish it because it was so strong. Everyone helping us was nice.

Their Edamame Dumplings (white truffle oil, dashi, thai basil, Chef Matt's Magical Dust) is my go to here. Tried something new this time, Grass-Fed Steak Breakfast Burrito (grilled Cape Grim organic 100% grass-fed steak, Vital Farms pasture-raised scrambled eggs, queso, anasazi beans, charred scallion salsa verde, cilantro). The visit was perfect!

Cute spot with personable service. Our brunch was tasty Seems like many are regulars giving me a reason to return to move along the menu Love the no frills the low budget plastic utensils made slicing food a chore on the paper plates

i wasnt sure what to expect, but I absolutely loved it here. The food was delicious and the service was top notch! I highly recommend making a reservation for better seating and to minimize the wait. I'm looking forward to going again!!

Went for Mother's Day brunch and the place was bustling with large groups. The staff seemed like they handle the high volume well and the wait time wasn't bad at all. The matcha is premade and a bit watery, but good over all. They had many healthy breakfast options. I had the ranchers hash and there was more sweet potato than anything else.

Our party of 15 visited here on a Saturday at 12:30. By 1:00 this fairly large restaurant was packed. Our server tried his best to be attentive, but we could see that all of the servers had their hands full with many tables. I wanted to try something different, so ordered the mushroom, spinach, and lemon-flavored ricotta pizza. I added a side of the Hatch chili ranch dipping sauce. So, while the pizza was good, I loved the dipping sauce more. In the future, I will add that side to any order. One friend had the tomato soup and loved it. Another said the ribeye was very tender and cooked just the way she asked. One woman, who had been here often, ordered her favorite -- the buffalo chicken salad. There were a number of good choices of nonalcoholic drinks. However, the restaurant does not serve sodas. There is plenty of parking in nearby lots as the restaurant is located in a shopping district.

We had a very large dinner at True Food Kitchen on a Thursday evening. Two tables of twenty each. The service seemed overwhelmed. We had a pre fixe three course dinner. It started with pizzas, Brussels sprouts and edamame appetizers. I har the beef for dinner there was also Salmon and a vegetarian option. The food was quite good. My beed was slightly overdone but not so much that it was inedible. Everyone seemed to enjoy dinner. The place was very crowded and very loud. Sadly the waiters were not super responsive. I'd go again on a less busy night.

We had exceptional service today by Haley and Kayla. We came as an unannounced group of about 25 people today and Haley very happily and confidently made room for all of us on the patio. What great customer service! As always the food was incredible and they even brought us drinks to go once we were leaving. Truly a great experience, thanks to these sweet waitresses!

I love this place! Very clean eating options. So much good food to choose from. My favorite is the O.G. burger. That grass-fed burger is so delicious. I tried the seasonal vegetables as my side which consisted of cauliflower, brussel sprouts, onions, and shredded squash. OMG these veggies taste amazing. It would be great if they kept them on the menu. Service from the team is really good with friendly smiles. The restaurant interior gives cool calm vibes, which is so enjoyable while eating.

Place was great. Atmosphere, food... Liked the selection and the many options. Will def be back.

I was with a group of coworkers after a long day on the road. This had the shortest wait time compared to the other spots so we went for it. Everyone who ordered an adult beverage enjoyed it. I had water so I can't really comment. The food-3 stars. Salmon was over salted and over cooked. The sauce is kind of weird tasting. It missed the mark. Weird pomegranate yogurt type vibe. The guac app is weird. It tastes good, but then we started choking because they put some sort of chopped up seeds in it. Service-they did not serve everyone together. So half our party ate when the food came. And I waited until everyone got their food. Which means my seafood was meh temp. It felt weird being stared at like I was the kid at the table taking forever to eat and no one can leave until everyone is done. Lol the server was nice and give us our guac at no charge "to make it a great time for our first visit," but it felt a lot more like sorry half your party didn't get their food. It would have been better if they just owned the screw up. It was ok. Nice to have a healthier option but I wouldn't go back nor pick it again with the other options in the same area. No one's meal looked out of this world. Basically looks like a small portion of Whole Foods prepped food. ‍

True food has always been a favorite of mine but I went recently and had to ask for at least 4 different glasses and another plate because they were all dirty. I was with a large party and many of them also had dirty dishes. It was late and none of us had the energy to look for anything else to eat so we stayed. Idk if it was an off night but the food just tasted okay. No flavor just ingredients slapped together on a questionably clean plate. Idk that I'll be back again because it was a really disappointing experience.

Service and ambience was good, but the food was bad. I ordered spaghetti squash casserole and what I got was a blop of ketchupy red sauce over stale zucchini with some mozzarella. It did not taste fresh at all, but I ate it because I was hungry and did not want to make an issue of it as I was a guest of my friends who ordered something else. I think this place is not a "true food" anymore, it is bellow average, which is very sad.

I picked True Food Kitchen on this Super Bowl Day for the fact they are not using seed oils in their foods. Second, it is Super Bowl so we wanted to bring wings or tenders to the gathering so we chose True Food for these two reasons. One order of chicken tenders is ONLY 3 pieces each at $12.95. We ordered 2 orders. 3 pieces in each order only! I was shocked at the quantity and it looked nothing like Buffalo Tenders in the pictures. We got more vegetables in total than chicken tenders!!! HUGE disappointment in True Food especially since this was going to be our go to eat out restaurant that is cooking without seed oils. It definitely was an understatement at this party!

Shout out to Sergio, my waiter today, for recommending this seasonal vegan pizza that is about to live rent free in my head for the next six months. This thing was DELISH. Like, dance in your seat while you eat yummy. I expected True Food to have lots of vegan options (I've been here multiple times and never really *loved* what I ordered... until today). I got the seasonal roasted butternut squash pizza and oooh my gosh was it filling and perfectly executed. That ricotta almond "cheese"!!!! I've also had the Korean Noodle Bowl, which was very oily and unimpressive, and something else that I can't even remember. But this PIZZA THOUGH? Ten out of ten. The ambiance here is always clean and comfortable, too, which is another reason I always come back and try again! Gems to behold!
