My mother and I had the pleasure of enjoying two delectable meals at True Food Kitchen today (Aug. 1, 2026). I ordered the vegan double cheeseburger with a kale side salad (minus the parmesan). My mother ordered vegan blueberry pancakes with a blueberry compote (minus the greek yogurt) and a side of sweet potato and onion mash. Omar, our waiter, took such great care of us. He anticipated our needs and knew the menu very well. He even knew how the food was prepared. He truly elevated our experience. This was not our first visit to True Food. We have had great food and great service each time. The staff is always excellent. We will be back! read more

I was excited to try True Food Kitchen because the pictures online looked amazing, but unfortunately my experience didn't live up to the expectations. I ordered the Jambalaya Pasta and it looked nothing like the photos online. The noodles were different, the texture was off, and instead of being a saucy pasta, it came out more like a soup. I ended up swapping it for the pepperoni pizza, which was better, but still nothing memorable. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the food I received to reflect. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is beautiful and the environment was great, but the food just didn't deliver for me and I wouldn't come back. Try at your own discretion read more

I've been dinning here for a while now. The food never fails to disappoint. I enjoy their seasonal menu and refreshers. My server, Yuyu, was amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended the guacamole. My kale aid is my favorite drink to order here. For entree, I got the margarita pizza. It's so yummy and you can modify it as you please. We enjoyed our lunch and service here. Everything was awesome! read more

Went for our first time for dinner yesterday evening with some friends who are regulars. Everything we got was absolutely delicious and good quality. Best hummus I've had in a long time and the salmon dinner was very satisfying. Got the flourless chocolate cake for dessert and shared but next time I'll get my own piece! We look forward to returning soon. Mat go back for breakfast tomorrow : ) read more

I've visited this location and the one in Austin several times. However, it has actually been a few years since I last visited this location. The food is healthy and they have great options for vegans and vegetarians. They do have meat and fish options for those that want that. Tonight my husband and I had the edamame dumplings, market salad with salmon and the Margherita pizza. The dumplings were good but just like warm. Pizza was great! They make it with sourdough and the pizza sauce is light. The salad was good as well but I wouldn't say anything was uber exceptional today. The service was also pretty good and I say that because our waiter was a nice guy. It apparently was busier than usual and he was having a difficult time keeping up. He was still attentive but he just seemed distracted. We asked for water twice before he brought them. It also would have been nice if he had brought out salt and pepper for salad. That's it. All in all pretty decent experience. Price point can be a bit on the higher end. So I would make sure to use your Inkind app to save some money. :) read more

Organic and tasty food each day every day... Service and atmosphere: We received good and attentive service. The restaurant looked very modern, clean and well organised. They offer plenty of seating options as well as open bar area. Food and drinks: Organic and farm to table food concept. Some items were not cooked with seed oils. It was great to read that on the menu. The menu offered very good selection of various dishes. The foods we ordered were well presented, had good amount of seasoning and flavours. There was nothing to fault. You can also choose different drinks to accompany your meals (alcoholic beverages included). Pricing: $$ - the quality was worth every cent. read more

General Info: A health conscious chain restaurant that has a variety of food choices. Good: - I always like their interior design concept. - Has separate parking garage with plenty of spaces. - Location is conveniently placed next to whole foods market. Bad: - Service was horrible the last 2 times I've been here. - Food took over 30 minutes to get out. - The Korean noodle plate was over cooked. - Turkey burger was like warm when it came out. - Kids pasta dish was undercooked. - French fries tasted like it had been sitting out for a while. Overall: I've been to other locations and they've been fantastic. This location missed badly. I really wanted to like this place. read more

Went here for lunch and the service was 10/10! Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. It was quite and casual spot for a delicious meal. I got a plant based vegan burger and a side kale salad and both were really good. The sauce on that burger was amazing and I'm not a sauce person like that. That kale salad was tender and I enjoyed the dressing that came on it. Now I get this burger to go more often when I wanna get food delivered. One of my go-to spots. read more

The original paper drink is still one of the most refreshing drinks they serve, and I've also heard a lot of good things about the grass-fed chicken burger. With a diverse menu and locations in several states, this is a restaurant I would happily recommend. read more

We had a solid meal at true food. They have a broad menu including a seasonal menu which is fun to browse. The classic grass fed burger was very tasty and the sweet potato hash was excellent. They also have many seasonal juices that are similar to mocktails but are much cheaper. The prickly pear one was great. Our service was fast and the waiters were friendly. Note- there is free parking in the garage. read more

Came to dine in for the first time on a weekday between 7-8pm. It wasn't busy and it took about ten minutes for a server to come to my table and get me water. I finally had to ask someone if it was counter service since staff passed by and didn't stop to help. To start off I ordered The O.G., which was a sparkling water with ginger and lime. I'm a fan of ginger drinks due to my ongoing nausea from migraines and this drink hit the spot! For dinner we ordered the magnificent duo, started with a bowl of the seasonal butternut squash. The soup was served extra hot, just how I like my food. It tasted fresh and had hints of sage sprinkled on top. Ambiance was nice and quiet throughout. For the mains we opted for the Lasagne al Pesto and All American Burger for the Earth Day special. The food was all fresh and made in a reasonable timeframe. The O.G.: this is the perfect refresher blends sparkling water, ginger and lime. If you want the flavor to last ask for less ice. Seasonal Butternut Squash Soup: 10/10, the flavor was impeccable topped off with sage. Lasagne al Pesto: 8/10, the sauce was a little bit more on the watery side and the plate was served warm not extra hot like the soup and the burger. All American Burger: 9/10, the bun and buttery lettuce were my favorite part. The meat was nice and tender and marinated and paired perfectly with the cheese. Kale Salad: 6/10, it was quite bitter. Didn't end up eating it, did not have an appetizing taste to it and I LOVE kale. Would have been better if they made it with fresh kale, you could tell they overcooked the kale because of the bitterness The only reason I put 4 stars is because service was slow at the start and my waitress could have been a bit more attentive. read more

The food is amazing customer service is attentive the space is clean !!! Check em out !!! Thanks

We really enjoyed our meal here. Appreciate the calorie count in the menu. It's one of the only places in town and one of the only chains that does that. The edamame wontons are delicious. The guacamole is very good and same with brussels sprouts. I would skip all the pizzas that were very flimsy, but the Cajun pasta was great. Service was wonderful and appreciate the seating outside. They use great ingredients here! read more

Health-ish restaurant why seasonal menu for you to come back to try something new. The patio seating here is great when the weather is nice in Houston. The waiter is very attentive. I love that they have seasonal menu to keep things fresh and what you to come back to try new foodIt is casual enough but it feels more upscale for a nice place to take a date to. read more

This was the first time I checked out this place I ordered the teriyaki Q bowl and a small gluten free pizza it was pretty good not going to lie but the real impression that got me was the cleanliness and welcoming staff that I got one particular being Natalie she was a burst of sunshine very polite and informative on food selections very attentive and if I do come back it would be because of her service , not to mention my special needs daughter loved the attention she gave her and the drawing she made for her .... top tier could definitely see her running this place just by the amount of care she put in to her job she's what got the 5 stars .... Also the Environment was pretty chill and relaxing as well it had good vibes now that I think about it I will come back here hopefully with the same experience ... read more

Jay took great care of our table this past Friday night as we celebrated a birthday. She anticipated our needs, brought everything we requested quickly, and struck the perfect balance of being friendly without ever feeling intrusive. The food was delicious. I ordered the spaghetti squash with shrimp & vegan ricotta, flavorful and satisfying. The flourless chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream was a stand out - tasty & not overly sweet. I look forward to coming back. read more

A personal favorite of my middle sons. I had the Lasagna made with turkey and pesto and it was absolutely delicious. The service was great and we were greeted warmly. Always a great choice. read more

Always good! The turkey burger is my go too!! Ask for it blackened. I only wish they would bring the chicken sausage fennel pizza back!

Absolutely love True Food Kitchen. The atmosphere is bright and modern, the staff is welcoming, and the food is consistently delicious. They're great at accommodating dietary needs without sacrificing flavor. It's the kind of place where you walk out feeling nourished and happy. Highly recommend! read more

Great spot for a clean, nourishing meal in Houston. We had the Teriyaki Quinoa Bowl (one with tofu, one with chicken) -- both were flavorful and packed with fresh veggies. The Kale Aid juice was refreshing and light. The edamame dumplings are always delightful. Service was a bit slow, but the chill vibe and delicious food made up for it. Perfect for a casual lunch or dinner! read more

The salad was pretty standard. The salmon was really good! I'm not the biggest fan of fruit within my salad. But, it was overall fine. I will have to say, this is known as a really healthy restaurant. They will not serve you fries or soda. The interior is really nice and modern. Seating is around 50 people. I sat there for 20 minutes waiting for the check. I think that the waiter tried his best and he might have thought we wanted to chat more. Otherwise, service was fine. read more

True Food Kitchen - Citrus Salmon Salad - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

10 out of 10! Upscale fancy dining atmosphere, without the ridiculous upscale prices! We were expecting it to be VERY pricey because the quality of the ingredients is literally unmatched (the only organic, grass-fed, seed-oil-free restaurant I know of), but we were surprised that each item was only $2-3 more than you would pay anywhere else! My hubby gives it a 7/10, which is REALLY good for him, because he doesn't even LIKE New American cuisine at all! (Which he calls "white people food".) On top of the lovely refined atmosphere, we both LOVED the food, and the service was prompt and excellent! I got the American Burger with the Cheesy Mashed Potatoes side, the Pomegranate Spritzer, and the Guacamole and pita bread appetizer. He got a poke bowl and the Margherita Pizza. We shared the Cosmic Bliss Lemon Sorbet and Seasonal Strawberry Tart at the end. Again, EVERYTHING was SO GOOD! I didn't even get pictures of the food because we ate it so fast! We're already planning on returning next weekend! read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday. The food was quite tasty and the portions were generous, but the service unfortunately didn't match the quality of the food. Our waitress was friendly, although she rarely came to our table and seemed absent most of the time, despite the fact that it was quite quiet. We even had to ask for refills ourselves. Better service would definitely make this place much more enjoyable. read more

This was first time at True Food and I loved the interior vibe inside. It's very earthy and green! I ordered the Lasagne Al Pesto and overall it was just okay. It was a nice amount but it didn't taste traditional. It had somewhat of a curry or Indian spice in there that I did not care for. I can see people enjoying this dish as it's unique and everything did taste fresh but I don't think it's the dish for me even though my mom really enjoyed it! Looking at the other menu items I don't think there's an item on there that has me wanting to come back honestly. read more

Amazing experience from start to finish. Our waitress, Stephanie, was absolutely wonderful--friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely taken care of without ever rushing us. She really elevated the whole visit. The ancient grain bowl was outstanding fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. You can tell real thought goes into the ingredients and preparation. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back and asking for Stephanie again! read more

I ordered chicken parm - it was $21 but it's only as small as my palm. Def feel like this is a bit overpriced. My friend ordered the ancient grain bowl with grilled chicken - it looked pretty good. Maybe I'll order that next time if I do come back. read more

Great, wide-open concept where you can really appreciate the windows that surround you. The food was really quite good. The waitress was good enough to make some solid recommendations for us regarding what to order and also would not to order. We were very happy to receive that information and it made for a much better experience. Good service and good quality. This place is kind of tucked away in the corner of a large shopping center but make sure you seek it out. read more

True Kitchen is a great place to eat for everyone! 1. If you're a health conscious eater on a specific diet or just want food that's less processed- true kitchen has something for you ! My coworkers and I came during lunch. Lots of seating for a lunch rush. We were greeted and served very quickly. If we were in a rush this would be a great place to be in and out. Luckily we weren't on a rush I had a peach tea which was refreshing My coworker had iced tea and surprisingly they had two options to make his iced tea , which was cool we've never been given options before I ordered the bougie blanco pizza ! For a pizza with no meat it was delicious! Very filling! Loved how the flavors came together Like I said, we weren't in a rush so of course we got dessert! I ordered the blueberry crumbles sundae and it was again DELICIOUS!!! Loved the atmosphere and our waiter ! read more

Unfortunately, tonight I became a part of the 10% who don't recommend this Houston's Galleria district location. I ate here tonight and was terribly disappointed. Let's not get it twisted Drew my server was amazing. Drew was very timely, attentive and great conversation. I was served quickly and the check up times were right on time. Drew was marvelous! The unfortunate part of my experience was my food was cold, my French fries were burnt, these fries were the end of the barrel -- from the bottom burnt. All of the fries were extremely short and burnt. My veggie burger was cold and the lettuce was only green after the third request for green lettuce. It was like they gave me green lettuce on the third time so I could stop asking. By the third request my burger was frozen. I don't like pretzels but the fries may as well have been pretzels. Drew offered to see if he could get me a discount. I thought that was humane of him but I declined and told him the experience was so terrible I don't want to end up with it being worst by ending up in a conversation with Mani. Mani is the manager. I found Mani in my opinion to be disconnected, unconcerned and "I'm ready to go home attitude". Granted I did come in at 9:30pm when the closing time is 10pm. Some of you may say, "well what do you expect ". My take on that is if you don't want me to come in at 9:30pm then close at 9:30pm. This restaurant isn't on the low end where pricing is concerned. So I was disappointed to say the least. The experience overall rated a 2 because Drew my server was so great. If it was left up to the cooks, the food and Mani I would rate this Galleria location a 0 (zero). I gave Drew a big fat tip (monetary) and promised him I was never coming back. Thank you for your service Drew. However, I try to be a woman of my word and I don't intend to return. That's why I couldn't let you make it right. You only get one chance to make a first impression. I wasn't impressed enough to come back -- there are enough others in Houston who are, unfortunately I'm a part of the 10% who won't be showing up for that second chance. Mani please take some customer service classes -- this isn't personal, just real. You should have treated me better not like you had to put up with me!

If you're looking for healthy bites in a setting that still gives all the feels of an atypical brunch spot, True Food Kitchen is the way to go! I got here on a Sunday at 2pm with a friend and instead of valet parking ($7 or $10, I forgot), we parked in the garage for free. As we walked in, the host sat me down and I was impressed by how airy, clean and spacious TFK was. There was plenty of seating as they weren't crowded. Had the weather been better, we would have sat outside on the patio. It took a little while for someone to come over and serve us. The young lady we had was new (so exercising grace to her), so the service was very, very slow. She also wasn't well versed on the menu so we just took a chance on what to order. We started with the edamame dumplings, and for my meal, I got the vegan burger. I also got green tea and the O.G refresher. Our food took almost 30 minutes to come out and it was so painful to wait. I just didn't understand what was taking so long because it was relatively empty. The food was really good but I sent the O.G refresher back because something seemed to be missing from it. Despite the mediocre service and extremely cold temperature in the restaurant, I enjoyed the experience overall. read more

Nut allergy friendly for what I ordered, but several of the salads have nuts. Parking: Parking is misleading from Google Maps. Have to loop around back to the parking garage if you want to avoid valet. Parking outside Whole Foods is time limited to 20 minutes! Order-To-Food: Crazy fast, 7 minutes. Service was fast and polite. The food came out so fast that I highly suspect it was just reheated. I understand that this is a "healthy" spot, but I didn't realize healthy meant flavorless and dry. I ordered the Chicken Tender Plate which came with kale (which was fine) and four tenders. Frankly, this is ridiculous for the price. I'd rather go to Cane's. It's super loud in the restaurant since it's an open kitchen and you can hear all of the shouting. Paid via inKind app with no issues. read more

I have been ordering/eating at the True Food in Dallas, Texas for the past 15 +years. It has always been a staple in myself and my family's diet. When I moved to Houston two years ago I was so excited to see there was a True Food kitchen close by... But to my dismay, I have been continuously disappointed. I have ordered here 15+ times over the past two years because I want to keep giving this a chance, but every time I order- the food tastes different than the time before. There is no consistency whatsoever. Not to mention, it's extremely lacking in flavor and all of the meat is overcooked! I recommend you go to the True Food in Dallas (Preston Center Plaza) and see how it's done correctly because I would love for that same experience here in Houston. Always rooting for you, but something needs to change. read more

The food was amazing. The hostess sat my friend and I within seconds of stepping into the restaurant. The ambiance was very calm and quiet, perfect place for my friend and I to catch up. Our waitress Yusur was super attentive and helpful when we had some questions about the menu. I had not been to true food in a very long time and I can't remember why when the service and the food were amazing. Will make it a point to stop by more often. My friend loved the curry and shrimp. Parking was so easy and the restaurant is very spacious. They have a great patio area as well. read more

we came at 5:30 and didn't get our food until 0700. I ordered a Korean noodle bowl which gives you a fifth of the portion that you would get out of Korean restaurant, and then they came by and grabbed our plate about 15 minutes after 0700, asking if we were done after they touched the plate. For the shrimp cabbage cup appetizer, they gave us the wimpiest shrimp I have ever seen. Looks like they got a frozen Walmart bag and hand selected the smallest shrimp in the bag. The place was packed, clearly a lot of people loved this place. Personally, I do not understand, and I'm completely baffled on why anybody would come here. We only came here because the front of ours had a special dietary needs. They don't even have soft drinks read more
