Nice vibe, cute place. The service was average. We were a party of 3, all of our food was over-cooked. We all should have sent back our plates but we were pressed for time. Our burgers were charred & small, even smaller after cutting off the black parts. Mine came with a pathetic teaspoon of carmelized onions & roasted onions. The chicken parm had black, burnt edges that needed to be cut off. The best part was a salad of greens w/a tasty dressing. And the black tea was good. Very disappointing experience. This was lunchtime on Thursday. 8/7. read more

Great vegan burger the best I have had. Cute location in the mall. Staff was on top of everything. This is a place I will visit again.

This was a pleasant surprise, the initial experience entering was underwhelming. The patio seating is comfortable and well spaced, with what seems to be the same level of service inside. The food is all fresh and nice that it can be personalized, because it is all made fresh. I would eat there again and not feel guilty about it. read more

The space is huge with outdoor seating in the mall, which is nice. Good selection of vegetarian vegan and glute free options. Also, having a calorie count for the food is really helpful. I tried edamamme dumpling really well. It is dumpling in a soup that warms you up. Main course pesto pasta, which is filling but not enough sauce for my taste. My server was always in a rush hard to catch him. For the drink, he said pink lemonade was sweet, but it was completely opposite very tart. Also, we requested salt and crushed red pepper, which forgot about, and then we have to ask another server. read more

Recently visited!! The squash pizza was amazing! Service was great we sat with Horace! Love it here!

I thought this was going to be a super casual spot: order your food at the counter and find a seat but I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in and there were actually greeters who seated us. We didn't have to wait at all. I loved the fresh and modern decor. After a day of activity, we were looking for some healthy options and they definitely came through. I had a very hard time deciding what I wanted to eat. I was considering the guacamole and chips but was told that the chips were not that great. The server was very nice and brought a couple of chips over for me to try and I did not like them. A friend ordered the Thai peanut bowl, and I had a chance to taste it before ordering it. I liked it initially, but the more I ate, the more I did not like it. It was just missing something. The service were really nice. We had lots of questions and they really took the time to answer them. If I'm in the area again, I might stop by and try something different, but I wouldn't make a special trip to eat here. read more

Came here with my fiancé to support a friend who worked here, so we really wanted this to be a good experience. I have a gluten allergy, which I made clear when ordering a gluten-free pizza. Our server was attentive, reassuring, and seemed to take the restriction seriously, credit where it's due. Unfortunately, when the food arrived, it turned out the pizza I was already eating was not gluten-free. Whichever dumbass staff member gave us our food should be terminated immediately. Our waitress rushed over apologizing, which I appreciated, and told us she wasn't sure why that pizza was given to us without her knowledge, but at that point the damage was already done. Mistakes happen in restaurants, especially busy ones, but what was disappointing was how management handled the situation afterward. There was very little urgency, accountability, or concern for the seriousness of a dietary restriction that can actually make someone sick. It felt brushed off rather than addressed. That little pig rat manager had the worst attitude and didn't even offer to remove that pizza from our order. As for the food itself, the regular pizza was... fine. Not terrible, not memorable, just kind of there. The gluten-free option (once corrected) was okay, but by then the experience had already soured. Our waitress was clearly trying, and I don't fault her. The issue here was communication and management. If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, I'd recommend being extremely cautious. I wanted to enjoy this place. Left mostly relieved I caught the mistake in time. I will never visit this place ever again. read more

Healthy food made well. The location is kinda of hard to find it's nearby LL Bean and Crate and Barrel. The service was good. Loved the passion fruit colada and tuna tostada. Sea bass entree looked beautiful and tasty. I recommend having a reservation as the wait on a Saturday night was long. The shrimp japchae was okay although the sauce was too watered down. read more

True food kitchen has consistently impressed me with their flavors. I recently had their turkey burger and it was impressive considering I don't like turkey ! But the sandwich itself was flavorful and the fingerling potatoes were yummy. Not too salty and not flavorless. I ate there several times and the food and drinks have always good flavors. The ambiance itself is nice considering it is always busy in there but the decor is open and inviting. For the purpose of being a healthy restaurant it is 5 stars. read more

Airy, fresh design, clean & great music in the background. Mario & Julia were our servers at the Oak Brook, Illinois restaurant. So genuine, kind & patient with both me and my friend, not rushing us as we enjoyed our meal & visited together. I ordered the teriyaki remix bowl, adding shrimp & soy sauce - DELICIOUS! We shared a strawberry dessert & really enjoyed their coffee- so good, it didn't even need honey & crème like I usually drink it. We'll definitely return, hoping we will have Mario & Julia again. read more

This place used to be a solid 4.5 stars but things have changed recently. The menu has become noticeably larger and many of the popular items are no longer featured. Today I made the mistake of trying the Pot Roast dip sandwich which was horrible. For the cost of 24 dollars, you will receive a sandwich with little meat and a good amount of fat. Not to mention, I did not receive the au jus that should have come with it. I did inform the waitress but no effort was made to correct the issue. Also, The order for my wife was also wrong and needed to be corrected. It took some time to get this corrected however as no one came back to see if the food was prepared correctly. On a side note, I also heard another table complain about the changes to the menu in which several of their go to items are no longer featured. I noticed over my last several visits that service has become slow which causes the food to come out cold to the table. read more

Came here for lunch. Seated promptly, the place is very nice, hip, and fun. Lots of seating options including tables and high tops. We had two sandwiches, a chicken sandwich and a panini. Both delicious and hit all the right spots and flavors. Will come again! read more

Our waitress was nice, she did a good job. I've been to True Food in a couple of other states and I had a great experience. I wasn't writing reviews so much then but I would give the other locations 4 stars. The reason For my rating is because my sister and I ordered the same dish. However she got way more broccoli than I did. I got a bunch of carrots and then the waitress did tell us that there was a new chef training in the kitchen and it was very obvious because the portion sizes were way off. I told her so the flavor was consistent, but the portion sizes were wrong. My sister got way more food way more broccoli I got way less food and a bunch of carrots. It was awful. The hummus was really good. However, the picture show that we would get some crispy chips but Soft tortilla shell came out with the hummus instead so that was inconsistent. The cauliflower and J appetizer was delicious. I'm still a fan of true food. However, there were two hostesses and neither one of them said thank you or goodbye. They just kinda looked at us. Also, the bathroom was out of tissue, but I let the waitress know and she was really nice about it. This location seemed like a downgrade from other locations I've been too, it didn't seem as fancy or clean. My mom had to tell the waitress there was a bunch of food by her chair like a kid had been sitting there and indeed the waitress confirmed there had been. Agin I still like True Food but in my opinion this location is not as sophisticated as the other ones. Maybe because it's in the suburban mall-idk read more

Food-Not impressed. Why is there no bacon on the entire menu? Service- undercooked burger, long hair in the food, server never came to check on the table. Ambiance- nice, casual, clean read more

I really enjoyed my first visit here. It's very comfortable and minimalist inside, with a lot of greenery. My friends and I got together for lunch and everyone enjoyed their food. We split the charred cauliflower appetizer and snuck a side of potatoes in there for good measure. I enjoyed the chopped salad as my entree. Everything was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Our server, Marco, was fantastic. The value for the price is unbeatable. I look forward to coming back here for a healthy yet truly satisfying meal in the future. read more

Totally unsatisfying- very different from my experience dinning at this chain in Los Angeles. Music is loud and blaring- good quality, very average. Portions and presentation not great. And service was very suburban mall( which, to me fair - is where this is located). Would not recommend. read more

This is a good place for vegan/gluten-free options.. it does fill you up but you feel like you're having a good healthy meal.. if you have stomach issues or hard to digest certain foods this is the place for you.. Quite pricey, and if you want to add a protein, it is definitely a lot more than you would expect but this place is good. They do give you good portions....they do have happy hour starting 3 PM to 6 PM half off drinks that's something to consider! read more

Food was mediocre and cold, manager was too busy getting her family seated ahead of people who had been waiting with reservations... unprofessional. A shame because the location I went to in Atlanta was 10/10, this location is tarnishing the name. read more

True Food is a great restaurant with a large variety of menu items and fresh, nutritious ingredients! All the sandwiches/ burgers come with a side of kale salad or sweet potato hash, I really recommended the kale salad. I got the grass-fed burger which was delicious and will be back to try many other menu items including panang curry and chicken parmesan. Tons of vegan, vegetarian and GF options as well. read more

When it comes to interior- it is perfect. Everything looks so ECO (green, wood, clean,fresh) :-). Food looks healthy and it is healthy. Just... it tastes healthy too. You won't have that feel like when you eat something so caloric that your conscience is bitting you :-D. Can't say I was delighted with taste of my poke bowl. It was average. Definitely not the place for people who enjoy food, but my vegan friend adores this place! read more

The location of this place is in the mall and has an amazing atmosphere once you walk in with open ceilings and the green feel. I started with a OG juice which had fresh ginger, lime, sparking water and honey and it was really refreshing and crisp. For appetizers, we ordered the Brussels sprouts which had a great soy glaze which was sweet and tangy and cooked beautifully. I had the veggie beet sandwich overall which was big and tasty and hot all the veggies plus avocado. It came with a kale salad which was also good. Must check out and I'll be back read more

Wow oh wow oh wow! We've been on a health kick for some time and places like this make it so much easier. It's on the expensive end but didn't want to take a star away because the quality is always superb. We tried it on Grubhub once and am now hooked. We tried the side of Kale salad and it´s delicious, love the lemon taste of it. If I would´ve had veggies like this as a kid, oh man it´d be so different for me today! I had the chopped salad and added chicken. I found it filling and so nice and light. Great variety of textures and tastes, love it. They definitely pay attention to detail and I find it rare that something is not prepared as I ordered it. They certainly elevate salads so you cant go wrong with one from here. It just sucks that it costs so much more to eat healthy but a 5 star, no doubt. read more

Updated Review: unfortunately I felt embarrassed bringing my friends here (it's a trip that I always felt was worth it.) Our server was very very inattentive, though not inherently mean. I'll just say her name started with an A. I figure for us waiting 45+ minutes long to get our orders placed that she would offer possibly a desert or something, or address any of that but it wasn't. I had to get up and ask for our orders to be placed. Secondly, the food was underwhelming. The breakfast hawaiian fried rice had too much saturation of sauce to rice. and a "hidden" (under veggies) fully cooked through yolk. But, I didn't have the energy to say something again to ruin our vibe even further. read more

Food and drinks were really good, Izzy was my server and she was great and very attentive.

Fresh, cute, earthy ambiance. Overall though, food missed the mark! Espresso martini was made with real cold brew, it was pretty good. For my son, I got a kids spritzer-- lemon lime is literally lemon and lime, so a bit tart for my guy. Tried to add some pomegranate, but was also tart. Flatbread with corn and onion app was actually really nice. It was the entree that was a miss-- overcooked, dry meatloaf and turkey burger. Steak was really delicious, but on a bed of sweet quinoa which was weird. Lastly, dessert.. the flourless choco cake was our top pic. We also got a choco chip cookie, it was hard and not warmed. Not planning on returning when Oak Brook offers so many better options. read more
