Always good service from the hostess and servers. They are accommodating with our request regarding seats, if they have the availability (of course). I enjoy the salads that we order. The turkey burger is usually flavorful and comes with two sides. The kale aide and red juice I order with a shot of ginger is on point. They have the best ginger shots in town. It's smooth and potent. Whenever we feel under the weather, we come here and order this ginger shot and surprisingly feel better. The ambience is bright, welcoming and spacious. The managers help the servers, when it's busy or understaffed. The menu has a variety of options. Recently, they added a chicken menu and that is also good. read more

My experience was okay here. I had been wanting to try it since I worked nearby so I came with a friend one night for dinner. We were seated right away and the host was nice, but our server had a judgmental tone to her. I was asking about a deal they had that came with an appetizer and entree as I wanted to know if the appetizer was full size or not. After asking, she quickly added the deal was only for one person, assuming my friend and I were going to share. We responded saying that we were going to order more. My friend added the Margherita pizza and I asked for ranch as well. She asked if we were sharing, with a tone sounding like we weren't supposed to be, but I said yes anyway as it was the truth. I don't think there's anything wrong with sharing 2 entrees?? Cause we got a slight deal on the appetizer? Honestly the appetizer we chose were the edamame dumplings since they're the number one dish on Yelp, but they were not great. The truffle overpowered the edamame and the sauce was just meh. I enjoyed the salmon entree and pizza with ranch, but the waitress kind of put a damper on our experience. I don't think I'd return to this location but I would go to another one. read more

Service could improve as well as quality of the food in the last hour of service. The True Food concept is outstanding and it would be nice to keep the excellence consistent throughout the day and evening. Also did not appreciate the disrespectful service that included constant use of diminutives to me as someone in her 60s and being talked down to by the waitress. Cultural sensitivity training may be necessary. read more

I've given this place multiple tries and every time it's so so so bad. Last night was exceptionally terrible haha it took 10 minutes to get greeted by our server then another 35 minutes to get SOME of our cold gross food. The server kept lying to us saying they were out of the food we ordered or that the oven was broken and that's why we didn't get our food HAHHA yet I saw the items we ordered at every table but ours! Overall a weird af staff and a weird af vibe read more

The food is always fantastic but the staff is less than palatable. The restaurant was not busy and several staff members walked past my table multiple times with no one offering water or any assistance. When I tried to make eye contact or wave someone down, I was completely ignored. I finally gave up and left after twenty minutes. I have never felt so disregarded in my life. I won't be returning to this location until the staff makes some improvements. This was at 12 noon at the El Segundo location. read more

My wife and I love coming here. We both get the chopped salad! She gets her shrimp. I get my salmon. This place is the best! But it would be nothing without Dee! read more

Love love love this place. Inventive food that is on the healthy side, yet so flavorful. Love the Tuna app, the rice combo in it is terrific. Great salads and even the pizza is tasty. Service always great. Go to in El Segundo. Ok I could not spell tuna tonight, but its delicious!!! read more

I love true foods, everytime I come in JJ and Luis are so welcoming. The food is great and the drinks for happy hour are amazing!

Food We started off the meal with the hummus and the edamame guacamole. Both were pretty good. I enjoyed the lightness of the hummus and the refreshing guacamole but it just needed a bit more spice to it. I got the smoke show old fashioned. I enjoyed that because it was pretty smooth and the smokiness from being smoke really came through in a subtle way. When I got my order of the OG burger, I asked for medium rare, it was pretty disappointing to see it was actually Well done, but I decided to just eat it. The burger was pretty dry but the flavor was just okay too, nothing special about the burger. I enjoyed the start of the meal but wish the burger could have been more flavorful Service/Ambiance The actual vibe of the place is really nice and modern and a lot of seating. Our server was nice and accomodating and honestly the highlight of our meal. Might come back to give it another chance just for the service and try to order something better. read more

Overpriced. Small portions except for pizza. Sweet potatoes in the hash were al dente.

True Food Kitchen delivers every time, from their refreshing (and seriously delicious) fresh fruit drinks to their well-balanced, flavorful food. The staff is welcoming and attentive, which makes the whole dining experience feel easy and enjoyable. A great spot for healthy food done right. read more

Our waitress Shawna was thoughtful and attentive and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner out.

I love that everything is made in-house and that makes it easier for accommodate all of my food restrictions. I'm never worried about my allergies when I order her.

True food is on my rotation of takeout places. I'm addicted to the kale salad and their cheese, pizzas. I also love that you can get a healthy green drink that is freshly squeezed.. if you have room, don't miss out on their great desserts. Their pumpkin pie and cookies are amazing. read more

Love the atmosphere, food is delicious, menu can appeal to vegans to meat eaters. Great staff.

I used to go to the True Food Kitchen in Santa Monica all the time. That is, of course, before they opened this location. I've been to this location a bevy of times and every time has been a good experience. On my most recent visit, and the reason that prompted me to write this review was the service. It was phenomenal. Every single staff member was friendly and sweet; very welcoming. Inside is very clean and open. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The drinks are amazing. I don't think I've ever had a bad drink here. As for the food, I have had some misses but overall, I think the food is yummy. The desserts are yummy and I would absolutely recommend if you're in the area. read more

This place has quietly mastered the art of takeout, and a big part of that is Gillian. From the moment I placed my order, she brought the kind of confidence you trust--especially when she insisted I try the spinach mushroom pizza with the garlic purée sauce. She didn't oversell it; she just smiled and said, "It's really good." That alone was enough. She was right. The pizza is outstanding: earthy mushrooms, perfectly wilted spinach, and that garlic purée sauce tying everything together with a rich, savory depth that's impossible to forget. The crust holds up beautifully for takeout, and every bite feels intentional. Thanks to Gillian's recommendation, it's now my go-to order and my favorite item on the menu. When someone who knows the food points you in the right direction, you listen--and in this case, you're rewarded. read more

Things have improved very VERY much since my last review of this place. The food is still outstanding and yes...the service is or rather has been excellent and a pleasure to experience! TFK always offers a wonderful food selection including vegan options. Today I had the burger with a split side of kale greens and sweet potato hash. The weather was nice enough to enjoy it with a tall glass of watermelon lemonade. Overall: If in the vicinity of a TFK...do yourself a favor and stop in for a solo lunch or with family n friends. Hope your experience is top notch as well! read more

I came in last week. I wanted to try healthier options. One of your workers Gillian Logan was very helpful and knowledgeable. She was very kind and patient with me and all of my questions. I hope you can recognize her for great service. I will be returning again in the future. Thank you. S. Kleest read more

so disappointing! we ordered the chicken wrap with salad. while the salad was good there was hardly any chicken in the wrap; what little there was, was rock hard-certainly not fit for eating. the wrap was more like a lettuce sandwich. i won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Our server Amy was super sweet when I realized I had ordered the wrong item. She went out of the way to correct my mistake so I could end up with the high protein breakfast I intended to order. Not all servers would do that. Also, the beef patty was amazing! read more

From the moment we walked in today, the incredible host, Ryan (who we have only had once before) remembered our favorite table, and had it prepared for us. We are regular customers here, because the manager JJ is just incredible and the food is delicious and healthy. It is a spacious restaurant and I always feel like we have privacy. Highly Recommended! read more

Meh?! A cobb salad with tofu is $25 (same as if it was steak) and honestly the salad itself was not very green and leafy.. there wasn't much blue cheese, eggs were perfect though. I wish i could have had the option minus the protein and at a smaller price ; $25 for a salad?! Kale / salmon salad was good Cauliflower bbq app was good read more

I usually love True Food, but this was one of the worst experiences I've had there. Our table waited over an hour for our food, and although we were offered a free dessert, it took another 30 minutes to arrive. It also wasn't crowded at all, and many of the workers in the kitchen were just standing around chatting. We even had to ask for the check. Overall the service was very slow and disappointing compared to my past visits. read more

First time trying True Food Kitchen today & my experience absolutely did not disappoint! The host was very friendly and seated us conveniently near the entrance and at a booth. I noticed upon entering how clean and fresh the restaurant looked. Our server, Xander, was warm, attentive, & very kind. We went with the edamame dumplings, seasonal butternut squash pizza, & the spaghetti squash casserole. All were delectable and the ingredients were noticeably very high quality. I left the restaurant feeling satiated, yet light as a feather, Haha. Although the food was a hit, the TRUE star of the show was our Puerto-Pino friend Joey, whose lively & infectious energy is sure to make your day!!! He is just one of the amazing, charismatic, and DOWNRIGHT HILARIOUS people who make True Food Kitchen the best neighborhood joint for fresh, farm-to-table dining. Right before meeting Joey, I thought to myself that I really needed some amazingly chaotic energy in my life, and my prayers were answered surprisingly quick, LOL!!! We will definitely be returning & look forward to our next experience at True Food ;) read more
