    Market salad with salmon
    Linda H.

    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. :)

    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.

    Turkey Burger
    Eugene P.

    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.

    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.

    Lasagna
    Traci D.

    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.

    Kale aid juice, edamame dumplings
    Devangi D.

    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!

    Citrus Salmon Salad
    Linda S.

    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.

    Good! I park in the garage behind True Foods and take the escalator.

    Deliver???will you deliver?

    Only if you are within the delivery distance of food courier services, like the Postmates food delivery app. For a fee, of course.

This is definitely not authentic Lebanese I have lived in the Middle East for a very long time and know the taste very well. There are other places in Houston also serving middle eastern food and no place is as bad as what I tried here. We ordered the beef pita and platter of kafta kabob with Lebanese rice and fattoush salad. The food was fresh, however lacked seasoning they both were literally bland. And the kafta kabob was dry I've never had this dry of a kabob! This place is definitely localized and is not authentic Lebanese. On top of that, these two costed me $46 so no worth of the price at all! I am very disappointed and wouldn't wanna go here again. I really wanted to try the breakfast and hummus especially since this was the first place I saw serving beetroot hummus but unfortunately I won't be taking the chance. The parking spots are very limited. The service was good in terms of the time and the ambiance is casual and have limited seats

I came by right before the dinner rush so I was immediately seated at the bar and greeted by the iconic "Irasshaimase!" (welcome in Japanese) by every wait staff so that was fun! The wait staff were very attentive and proactive so ordering the food and getting it took maybe less than 10 minutes. Onto the food: I originally came in because the website mentioned tsukemen and maybe that's my fault for not checking again on yelp itself (whoopsies!) but of course, they did not have it BUT they still had very solid options for ramen. I chose the signature because I wanted to see what Mensho was known for since my family has tried it when they first opened and enjoyed it. The noodles themselves were phenomenal and just the right amount of bounciness and chew. The chicken broth was so rich and creamy, you could pretty much classify it as tonkotsu because of how fatty and buttery it tasted. There was a trio of meats that were delicious but the only one that stood out to me the most was the chicken chashu because it was juicy and flavorful. The eggs, pretty solid and it came with two halves so essentially a whole egg which is my favorite part about eating ramen. The ambiance: it's trendy and aesthetically pleasing! However, it's gonna be busy and loud so if you're expecting a quiet, low-key joint, I would recommend coming in the morning when they open instead of around dinner time. The decor was gorgeous and the music was at a moderate volume. Final rating: I would come again and definitely bring some friends to join in because there's a lot of unique options and unfortunately, I can only eat for one so maybe next time, I'll try their Duck Matcha ramen.

The grounds of the temple is well manicured and neat with flowers. A big red sign read, "Govinda" was positioned so that I wouldn't miss it. As soon as I walked in at lunch time, the restaurant was damn near empty with only two families. The host immediately sat me at a table front of the buffet line. There was a strong lingering smell of pine-sol and Mr. Clean in the air. Of course, that indication told me that the restaurant was clean. The items on the buffet line was plenty, but limited. I got the rice, tofu curry, chaat marsala, and some vegetables. Everything except for the chaat was bland. It wasn't very easy to eat while the smell of cleaning supplies was in the air. It reminded me of sitting in a bucket of cleaning chemicals while eating a meal. The tofu curry tasted only like turmeric, but no salt or pepper or anything. The rice was super bland. The chaat marsala was very tasty and well seasoned. I finished off with desserts which both options were tasty. I hope to return to try their holiday menu, but I think today was a bad day for the cooks.

    Nut allergy warning: I can't recommend eating here if you have a severe allergy. Although dishes…read moreare clearly labeled with ingredients, I still had an allergic reaction with a dish. Since the dishes are different every day, there's really no guarantee that you'll be safe, and cross contamination is a possibility since it's a buffet line. I tried to email ahead of time but never got a reply. We arrived around noon on a Wednesday and there was plenty of seating inside. There is a lot directly across the street for Govinda's customers. Cafeteria buffet-style line. Don't overcrowd your plate, just go back for seconds. Since the menu changes daily, I don't think there's much of a point to review specific dishes. I will say that there's a nice variety of salad, soup, and homemade feeling Indian dishes that everyone really liked. I particularly enjoyed the salad dressing (an avocado cream), the veggie lentil soup, and the spinach potato dish. Unfortunately, the special of the day or a dish near it (the soya Manchurian? Or the curry?) triggered some kind of inflammatory allergic reaction for me, so I had to stop eating. I did try some of the mango cake, which had a great soft and moist texture that I'd definitely have again. -1 star because of the allergic reaction but overall, everyone I went with really enjoyed the food and the service was welcoming and attentive for a buffet. The ambiance is great and it's a lovely setting all around.
