True Food Kitchen

Beautiful restaurant with friendly service. I had the lasagna which was pretty good, as was the pizza. Minor opportunities for improvement: our food took much longer than I expected, we wish there were topping options for the pizza, and the dragon fruit lemonade was unusually sweet...reminded me of grocery store lemonade. Otherwise, we enjoyed our visit and would consider coming back. PS: Love the option to purchase gift cards online. We have a friend who is here for treatment and it made it easy to purchase send a gift card to help ease the burden of figuring dinner out. Really appreciate this offering!

True Food Kitchen in The Woodlands is a gem! The atmosphere is clean, modern, and welcoming—perfect for a relaxed meal. I love that the menu focuses on clean, vegetarian-friendly options. Everything I ordered was fresh and absolutely delicious. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Highly recommend if you’re looking for flavorful food that makes you feel good, too.

We love the food here! We are very passionate about eating non-toxic ingredients and we appreciate the lack of seed oils and clean protein they have here! The last time we went, there were a lot of flys inside so that was a little bit of a turn off but other than that, we really enjoy eating here :)

Love the food here! So many great options for Gluten Free & Vegetarian! There is absolutely something for everyone on the menu & items are clearly marked. The atmosphere was great and our server was so knowledgeable & attentive. Loved having the option to sit on the covered patio or inside. I will definitely be back!

What a fantastic place for healthy and delicious food! The entire menu was enticing - I savored the korean noodle bowl🍜 made with sweet potatos glass noodles, truly delectable and recommended by a courteous and attentive waiter Francisco. I heartily recommend this restaurant. Wow!!!

First time at True Food. Extremely pleased with the ambiance, greeter and customer service. Our waiter, Christian was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful which made the experience even better

We went there for lunch on December 31. They were probably understaffed as service felt really slow. Food was very tasty and we all liked our meals. There are many items on the menu we would like to try so we will definitely return to do so. Freshly done green juice was delicious. We sat outside as the weather was lovely and the noise inside seemed a little high. There are screens at the bar to follow your favorite games.

This is a nice location and well kept eatery. The staff is very friendly. They did mix up our order and offered to change but we decided to try the wrong order as this was out first visit and we like to try new things. The point is they were honest about it and no blaming took place. Simply asked what we would like them to do. So that was refreshing. The food however was underwhelming. Even the cocktails were subpar. I will say that everything was fresh and presented well. The flavor combinations were just not clicking. Very mild with no pop. That being said this could very well be the flavor match for the clientele they are trying to attract. I would guess hipsters or anyone trying to impress friends with how earthy their diet is. That's not a dig. Some folks (probably many) like bland and boring food.

The only food in town that is true. I cannot complain. I judge my restaurants by how clean their restrooms are. Hey Relax, fellow yelper! Is this review right for you? Maybe not! But just because it isn't helpful to you, doesn't mean it might not be helpful to somebody! Like me. Also do yourself a favor and Eat the dumplings, ok??!!?! I am Asian, and thought I was too good for it. I thought it was going to be trash. I said "Ah hell nah." hak-tuah!!! But once that juicy little vegan dumpling hit my tongue, I became a BELIEVER!!!! ... In the word of our lord, Steven, day time server at True Foods.

Had lunch at True Food Kitchen and it was ok! Service was good but a little slow, though I did come at a busy time. The place is really cute and spacious! Love the decor and how well-lit the place is. Ordered their Mediterranean hummus with ancient grain pita bread, which tasted amazing! The hummus itself wasn't really spicy so you don't have to worry too much about it. I also ordered their edamame dumplings and ended up loving it! The broth isn't too strong, so it goes well with the dumplings but still adds to the flavor overall. Not a fan of their iced matcha though as it's very watered down, and the matcha they use seems to be of low quality. Overall, I had a good experience and loved that they had big servings, but I think it would be better to try True Food Kitchen when they're not too busy!

Unfortunate first experience! First, the staff were nice and welcoming, and had nice small talk while placing my to-go order... not many of us down south refer to a drink as "pop"! I ordered two cups of soup, the Korean Noodle Bowl, and the Ancient Grains Bowl. I was handed my bag, which was sealed with a sticker. I asked if the utensils were in the bag and was told yes. After I drove to my office I opened the bag to find they forgot to put the two cups of soup in the bag. Sad because the Butternut Squash is one of our favs to try anywhere we go. I called to explain the issue and the manager adjusted my bill and refunded the money. Then when I opened my Korean Bowl I was disappointed by the lack of steak they included for an $8.50 add-on and the portion size should be referred to as snack size. If a meal is going to cost $25 it should be worth it. For the food to be healthy, the only flavor it has was sodium...no different than Pei Wei or Panda Express. I would rather get two bowls from either of these restaurants than retun to True Foods.

This is a really nice vegan spot. Upon entrance we good a very kind greeting of welcome in. The environment is really appealing. The restroom was very clean. The service was very nice, perfect timing of placing order, checking to ensure everything is ok. The napkins are pretty with the restaurant name on it. We got water and we like how it came very cold without ice. I got the Mediterranean wrap. It was good, the wrap was a little thick. Add more vegetables would be better but it was very tasteful. The sweet potato hash was ok, there were some pieces that was burned. After I finish my fasting I plan to go back to try the lavender latte and another entrée.

We've been there a couple of times now and it's really never been that great for me. I'm sure a lot of people enjoy their food. Last time though, it was just so disappointing. They'd run out of bread, and potatoes. POTATOES! What restaurant runs out of potatoes!! Service was ok, I guess but I don't think I'll be going back. Nothing against the place but it's absolutely not something we enjoy.

Bright and airy inside, the happy atmosphere of True Food Kitchen stands with their promise to quality foods and responsible sourcing. Matt got the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, and it came looking quite sad for $18. The waitress told us that our orders got switched with another table who made some special requests to the sandwich including having the coleslaw served on the side. ... cool, but it was a little strange they didn't try fixing our order or anything? Taste-wise was okay per Matt and not spicy (and he's a self-proclaimed wimp when it comes to heat!). The Ancient Grains Bowl I ordered was nicely presented and chock full of veggies-- yay! But also quite salty. The Charted Cauliflower was lightly flavored and enjoyable with nice sweet bites of dates. The tahini gave it a slightly bitter aftertaste and the dill flavor was strong when you got bits of the herb. I liked how it wasn't fried! The food is 4/5 for us and definitely pricey for a casual lunch. But it was fun to try TFK for a change in pace! There's a big parking area behind the restaurant as well :)

Loved this place! Lovely outdoor dining (beautiful inside as well) We had some salads, chicken fingers and a noodle bowl-all were fantastic. We also had a baby with us and felt so cared for. Highly recommend!!!

I am not fond of places that charge so much for a simpler, more natural meal. A tea doesn't need to cost that much, it costs cents to plant an herb and then dry it to make tea. Service was really bad as well, waiter and waitress, both seemed to not even work there. It took forever for them to come to our table, that was very frustrating. The decoration was immaculate and felt fresh, though.

I love the food and the healthy ingredients, but the portions are SO SMALL!! Unfortunate, because otherwise, this would be my go-to!

Love the menu and reviews, but normally love any kind of soup as starter - not this squash soup or the small bread pita crackers ! I tasted a friend's salad to check if I wanted to order it. For me, it was disappointing. I have been to most restaurants in this Market Street area, and they are all terrific. I did like the outdoor area and will return. I read the reviews and hope to find something not boring here. All nicely served with no flavor. Sorry.

Normally we love going here. Best espresso Martinis in the area. However the last two times we went for brunch and both were absolute disasters. Eggs cooked wrong, orders forgotten, cold raw potatoes. For such a great place breakfast is consistently the worst.

This place is beyond perfect!! Lots of healthy and delicious options in their menu... I need to come back! Service was great.

The meatloaf sliders weren't. The bread was your standard sandwich roll sliced in two. The "loaf" portions were so thin I actually opened up the sandwich to look for them. If anything it was a slice of sizzled beef about 1/8 of an inch - that was about half the size of the bread portion it was placed on. The au jus was maybe a couple tablespoons of what seemed to be thickened vegetable broth in a ramekin. The pricing for this meager serving is outrageous.

My son and his girlfriend took me to this place, and I am hard-pressed to say enough good things about it. My veggie burger was huge and delicious and had subtle, classy flavor notes in it. My kale salad side order was even palatable, though I suspect it got by with some help from some oil. My companions' food looked terrific, too, including the gluten-allergic member of our group. If the service were any more attentive, it would be obtrusive-- no complaint about it. The ambiance is that of a health-food diner-- clean, light, spacious, airy. The prices are not low, but fair. I recommend this place.

True food, regardless of what city you're in is a life saver if you're trying to keep it clean. It seems that they are the pioneers of eliminating seed oils and keeping things as healthy as possible while proving that we don't need that nasty stuff to make food taste delicious. Take for example their roasted cauliflower, by FAR the best I've had and they aren't using any of the harmful oils to make it taste delicious. It's simply tossed with avoo or evoo and air fried then tossed again with seasonings. It CAN be done and they have proven that healthy food doesn't have to taste bad. I digress. lol All of the menus items are worth trying, I've had just about all of them. They have great seasonal menu as well so, treat yourself and get in the spirit [= Lastly, the wine and cocktail menu is well thought out and they are always making fun drinks that incorporate their fresh juices to bring an even better flavor to the table. Stay happy, stay healthy, stay true! MLA

I love coming here. The food is what keeps me coming back. I love their ancient grain bowl but this time I got the Thai peanut noodle bowl. It was very creamy and tasty. The service was good. I love the feel of the restaurant very clean and crisp.

The staff and kitchen always go above and beyond to make your meal memorable. If you have any sort of allergy or intolerance they really do care about you and the quality of the food. Always try to come by here when I'm in the Woodlands because it is such a treat. The menu is seasonal so it's always changing which is something that I adore. The dining room is very spacious 20 foot plus tall ceilings definitely a romantic vibe be a great place to come for cocktails among any kind of meal that you wish to have.

Healthy and Delicious Food Nice design and friendly staff. What else we need for happiness? Really enjoyed!

There's always a new dish or drink to try out. One of my favorite things about this place is that they regularly have new menu items. It's my first visit at this location. It's in a shopping center so you can park in the metered spots or in the garage. There wasn't an wait time even though it was busy. As an appetizer we got the humus, which was delicious with the warm pita bread. We all got different drinks like bathe matcha horchata, lemonade, and I think mine was a hibiscus tisane which was refreshing and an tiny bit tart, in a good way. Most of the group got burgers with sweet potatoes. I got the spaghetti squash casserole which was hot to eat and deliciously cheesy. I got it with strips of chicken. I didn't feel stuffed but satisfied. It's a great place for something healthy and delicious. I saw a few families so it's great for large parties and everyone is friendly and welcoming.

I've eaten here a couple times now and I definitely recommend! The brussel sprouts are good, not the best and are soft. I think they could have been roasted just a little longer to have more of a crunch but that's a preference thing. Pizza is good, can't go wrong with it. The show stopper to me is the Teriyaki Quinoa bowl; beyond delicious, flavorful, healthy, and fulfilling. If you are trying to like quinoa or just getting started eating it, then this dish is the best to get your foot in the door to love quinoa.

True food kitchen is a great place to eat at anytime. The whole menu is full of healthy and flavorful options. Clean ingredients make ordering anything guilt free. It was my first time eating at this location and the outside seating was pleasant even with a very busy day of shoppers around.

Recently tried TF after an event in The Woodlands and am not disappointed! Easy to find in the middle of Market Street - not too off the beaten path. A great little spot for healthier choices - including some vegan options! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal - although I think my boys would have preferred a bit more of a selection of meals for kids (the ONLY reason for the lack of fifth star). The hummus was to die for, the strawberry cake was delectable, and I had a green drink that was delicious! Service was a bit slow and the seating was quite packed, but overall a pretty good experience for a Saturday evening nonetheless! Our waiter was top-notch and super courteous. Definitely recommend!

Our drinks were amazing same with the appetizer and main courses. The service was also prompt and to the point which we really like, a few suggestions would have been nice since it was our first time but no complaints. The restaurant was super open, airy and clean. The manager that was helping seat was not the vibe, maybe she was having a bad day, no biggie. If we didn't order dessert this would have been a 5 star review. It was SO bad. We got the Blueberry Crumble Sunday. It was a GIANT scoop of ice cream and almost no crumble. On top of that the ice cream was horrific like it had completely melted and then they tried to refreeze it. Shards of vanilla flavored ice was what it was. All in all we enjoyed ourselves and rest of the food was really fantastic, but next time we will skip dessert !

Tuna bowl is outstanding, hummus is very good as well! My kids love the pizza from here and the margaritas are too notch as well. Service has never been an issue and the staff always look like they enjoy their job. Great location!

FOOD? 8/10 : they do a great job of combining unique flavors and making healthy foods delicious! SERVICE? 7/10 : typical wait for a sit-down restaurant. AMBIANCE? 6.75/10 : just a typical sit-down restaurant vibe, nothing extraordinary. Butternut Squash Soup | 7.2/10 Good! But not great. Felt like it could use either a slightly better kick or seasoning. Still great & lite. Turkey Burger | 6.8/10 Not bad, but nothing stands out with this one. It felt a bit dry (as Turkey is a difficult meat to make standout). The condiments + additional ingredients added to top the burger DO in fact add to it; however, the proportions of bun (and type of bun) & Turkey make the dryness make it slightly bland. Grab some sauce! Sweet Potato Hash | 7.5/10 This is probably one of the best sides!

True Food Kitchen Woodlands. The Idaho Rainbow Trout at 27.25 was completely awful, it was covered entirely by fresh parsley to a point it was hard to see the dish. This menu item is simply tasteless! Served on a bed of tasteless parsley. Nothing good to say about it. The Korean Noodle bowl was so salty I couldn't finish it, served in a pressed paper recycled takeout that sucked up all the moisture. The squash pie ? Not worthy of comment.....one bite and tossed! The 20.00 vegan burger was also a one bite disaster. The carrot cake was great! Both of us agreed. Never again!

I really enjoy this place! We came here on a Sunday evening and it was nice and quiet. Our server was very attentive and if she didn't know an answer to our questions, was great about getting answers for us! The kids shared the kids meal cheese pizza - it was big enough for both to share. It's 10" and they loved it. I got the spicy Korean noodle bowl. I loved the glass noodles- they were cooked perfectly and had a great chew. The mushrooms were tasty and the veggies were well seasoned in the sauce. My husband got the buffalo ranch chicken salad - I loved the crispness of the chicken and the dressing was just the right amount of creaminess. The ingredients were fresh and we didn't leave feeling stuffed - just satisfied. The menu is great to have an idea of calorie intake so if you are trying to eat healthy while eating out this is the perfect place for you. Give them some love!!

My first time to True Food, went with a friend on her recommendation. The place is beautiful and cheery ~ my salad - not so much. I got the Chinese Chicken Salad and what a major let down for $17.95. It was a small bowl of almost all cabbage core and about 4 very tiny cubes of chicken. I had to ask for a side of champagne vingerette to try and make it eatable. I just moved to the Woodlands and really looked forward to trying this new place that my friend said was so good. Her chopped salad looked great, mine just looked like a bowl of all the parts of the cabbage that you do not use. I wish I would have taken a picture, it just was not picture worthy.

If you have lots of money to blow and plenty of time to wait for a cold meal, this is the place for you. We sat waiting for our to go order for thirty minutes. I finally went in to find out where's Waldo. And I found our orphan meal sitting on the back of the bar where it had probably been sitting for 15 minites, jidging fromnhow cold it was. Bar staff talking to each other, no concern about meal deliveries. $22 for a garden burger, no drink. I would only recommend True foods to a convict on death row as a last meal, to buy themselves some extra time before the lethal injection. The manager said "thanks for your input! Bye" If only they could be that fast with meal delivery! New name suggestion: Truly Awful Foods.

best vegan pizza !! delicious with fresh ingredients. great service and lovely atmosphere.

The service was welcoming and warm! My waiter made sure the dining experience was suitable to my liking. Seating is comfortable and adjustable. My menu choice was, every bit was savory and delectable. And the ingredients were fresh and prepared to the highest quality.

While in Spring, Texas I was out getting my hair done for the wedding only to realize I was starving... happened to Google restaurants near me and low and behold was True Kitchen Foods and what a diamond of a place. It's exactly what it says in the name. The foods listed on the menu was FTM ( Texas calls it "farm to market" ). Everything was as fresh made as one could get and has now entered my top 5 restaurants. This restaurant was clean (sanitized to the tee). The personnel and wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable and gave their top notch attention to my daughter and I. Speaking of clean... that's also how I'd describe the foods on the menu. Plenty of seating inside in the a/c or outside on the covered patio. The prices you ask? Well, definitely in line with any other restaurant in town. You'd be crazy NOT to stop in!!!

You ever go somewhere and everything is awesome your first try, but it seems too awesome so you don't want to over-rate and give a "FiveSpot" right off the bat? lol Yeah, this is where I am with this place simply because everything was pretty awesome but I've only been once and I like to save my 5-stars for places I've gone to a couple times. We will definitely come back and give these guys a couple tries, but the protein bowl i had with sweet potatoes and some kind of curry sauce were out of this world!!

I was here over the weekend for Ironman Texas. This was my go to for lunch in the week leading up to the race. The food and service both times I came in was so good. I absolutely loved the food! I'll definitely be back

Decided to enjoy the nice day walking around Market Street and sit on the patio for a late lunch.......full disclosure, I've been to the one in Houston several times, but not reviewed it. I'm a carnivore who loves salads and just tasty food. True Food delivers on all counts. My biggest complaint about trendy emerging vegan/vegetarian/plant based/healthy joints is.......I have a hard time figuring out what the hell is in the dish from the menu. Many of these type of places, the menu is Latin to me. True Food's menu is written in English with recognizable ingredients from planet earth! Edamame Dumplings were really good and surprisingly flavorful. I really liked the Spicy Panang Curry with a great combo of veggies and forbidden rice. One slip up, I ordered it with Chicken, when it arrived it was with Shrimp. Waiter apologized and offered to redo it, but I said it was okay. He insisted on at least bringing me Chicken to add to the bowl, which I accepted. Honestly have always enjoyed a healthy meal at True Kitchen. 4 stars due to ridiculous prices of mediocre beverages........in my opinion.

This place was delicious! I cannot say enough about the edamame dumpling. Wow! They were superb! I got the Grass-fed Burger and my husband got the steak. Both were great! We highly enjoyed it.

Not only does it have ambience it has great food. My favorite is the teriyaki bowl with salmon.

Unfortunately, they really love this soy/ginger sauce with a great deal of cayenne pepper, and I ordered both the brussell sprout appetizer and the Korean steak, not realizing they were both swimming in the stuff. I lost my sense of taste before the sprouts were done, and it was really unfortunate the steak was coated with the vile stuff, as it looked like a great cut of meat that deserved a better fate. Less cayenne pepper, and less sauce.

The food and the service was phenomenal! Our server, Ale, was super attentive and made sure we were enjoying our meal! Definitely recommend stopping by.

Came with friends to celebrate a birthday. Horrible and disappointing experience. The table (that already was served for us) was really dirty when we came and we had to ask to clean it. Super impolite and rude waiter. Mediocre food. A few dishes that were not supposed to be spicy at all were so spicy, we couldn't eat them. The appetizers never came out and nobody even considered to apologize. When we pointed this out to the waiter after the main dishes were on the table (~40min wait and it was not busy) that we haven't received the appetizers the answer was "oh really? so, I will cancel them and remove from the check"- no apology, no trying to fix anything AT ALL. Everything was "not possible" - joining tables for a party of 8, splitting check, etc. Really bad bad bad experience al the way..

Finally checked out True Food Kitchen at Market Street! Decently busy on a Wednesday at lunch time. Plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. The food here changes with the seasons. The spicy panang curry is sweet and has a strong coconut flavor. It's filled with vegetables and has wild rice on the bottom. You can add a protein, and ours had shrimp which went very well with the sauce. The chicken avocado wrap was very tasty (actually recommended by our server) and filling. It has hummus, cucumbers, and lettuce inside and the pita wrap is delicious. It comes with kale salad or sweet potato hash, so I opted for the sweet potatoes. They're well-seasoned and a great savory addition. We also had apple lemonade, which was sweet and refreshing. The food here is good and portions are decent. It is a little on the pricier side (adding shrimp to the curry was $6), which isn't surprising for the location and concept. I like that the menu changes, food is fresh, and it's vegetarian friendly.

If you're in The Woodlands area True Food is a great place to try out has a great indoor area and outdoor area as well to enjoy on a nice day. Service was great hostess was quick to provide a table and a waited attended table quickly. The food has always been great when I've visited anything g in the menu is good the vegan burger is great and pizza thin and doesn't give you that lazy feeling afterwards, overall this is a great place to try for something vs eating that foods always definitely recommend.

We enjoyed the selection of vegan and vegetarian options here and overall would come here again if we're in Houston again in the woodlands shopping area. They accidentally put real cheese on a vegan dish but when we asked them if they'd put real cheese on it they apologized for the mix up and very quickly corrected it and brought us a new meal. I didn't think the panang curry with shrimp was very flavorful and it came out nearly cold. The Brussel sprout and the charred cauliflower appetizers were great. The edamame and truffle wontons in miso broth was very flavorful and super delicious. We got a couple of the mocktails and the hot tea, all were good but we found them overly sweet for our taste, but that's what most people like lol.

I ordered the kale Caesar salad with chicken via DoorDash (came to $36). The kale was fresh and crisp and the avocado was fresh but the shaved Parmesan was hard and flavorless, with dark edges, as if it had been shaved days prior and stored uncovered. The croutons were huge and very hard. The chicken was a bit pink on the inside and hard to chew. True Food used to be good and dependable but this recent (and pricey) salad gets a failing grade.

Ummm yes, team true food! Another farm-to-table Cali gem found in Texas. Gotta love it! This was my first time at this location. It gets busy being part of the market street shopping center, but a nice addition to the area nonetheless. When I came here with my Godmother, mask mandates had just been lifted and people were wildin' a little too much for comfort. We opted to take our food to go and it tasted just as good at home. I ordered the lasagna bolognese and it was eh to be honest. Still feels good putting food I know isn't junk in my body tho. The menu varies according to season, so be sure to check it out periodically. The staff was friendly and I would return because you can keep your msg.

Nothing at all wrong with the quality of the food, just not as flavorful as I'd hoped. I would have liked to be able to add some seasonings to make it more tasty. I ordered tuna lettuce cups as a starter...have not had them before and did not know the tuna was raw. I only ate 1/2 off one but my daughter ate the rest and said they were tasty but quite spicy. For my entree, I ordered the chicken avocado tortilla wrap with sweet potato hash. I asked for street corn to be added to the wrap. Again, I'd wished I had seasonings to give the food more flavor. Service was impeccable and restaurant was so clean and decorated beautifully. I'm sure we'll try it again just because of the health aspect of the menu.

We've gotten food from True Food a few times now. Every time the food was wonderful. Tonight, not so good. I ordered the Sourdough street corn flat bread. There were issues. Just a couple of kernels of corn, STALE FLAT BREAD. really, we've had wonderful meals here, but tonight's was not good at all. I hope it is a fluke. I'd say order at your own risk. The rest of our order was just ok. Not great.

No matter if I'm in Pasadena, Dallas, Houston or Miami, I can count on TFK great food, good service and a pleasant atmosphere. I love the care the staff takes in serving patrons and the quality of the food is always there!

Stopped by for brunch around 11:30 am and the place seemed dead. The servers were all huddled around at the bar, talking to each other and playing on their phones as if they were on break, so I checked their website to confirm that they're supposed to be open and learned they opened at 10. We were seated right by them which was super distracting, and seated without brunch menus. When we asked for one our server returned with 1 tiny brunch menu for 3 of us to share. My silverware napkin set at the table for us was dirtied with what looked like mud or chocolate. There were literally flies and spiders everywhere. I asked to move tables and even that one had flies. Food came out before the drinks and service was barely there. Passing on this location next time.
