    The interior is bright and hip
    Heidi H.

    Our family decided to go in for a family lunch a few weeks ago because we've been wanting to try their healthy food choices. Overall, it was okay...the dishes we ordered were tasty, a little underwhelming, however the prices were a bit high for what we received, in my opinion. I do appreciate the vegan, vegetarian, and GF options. Our server was attentive, kind and answered any questions we had about the menu but, she seemed (and the staff in general) a little discombobulated. Service was a little slow...my sister ordered a pizza and it was burned, so they immediately made her another. Overall, it was a nice lunch, with good atmosphere and good service but, not sure we'll consider adding it to our "go to" list of local spots.

    The Ancient Grain Bowl with Chicken  TRUST -- this is it.

    I have been dreaming of the ancient grains + chicken ... I went for brunch and wanted it again for dinner & that weekend. Healthy food with great flavor & good quality! Good service. Nice interior. Looking forward to returning!

    Kale salad with double shrimp

    I am truly a True Food Fan- and I am not normally one to eat at chain restaurants! I travel most every week and find that I can consistently found that True food measures up no matter which location I go to! I have to admit that I order the same things every time, changing only the protein and hold on the bread crumbs---but that should say something on the caliber of their Kale salad. It is the best I have had and have whenever I go! I love the shrimp there- I do double protein and sometimes I will do half chicken and half shrimp. Very speedy service and a casual vibes that would be good for meeting up with family/friends or colleagues!

    We finally decided to try True Food Kitchen after hearing so many great things, and overall, the food absolutely lived up to the hype. We visited on a Sunday afternoon, a little after 1:00 p.m. One thing that immediately stood out was that the restaurant appeared fairly empty when we arrived, yet we still had to wait to be seated. The wait wasn't long, but it felt a bit unusual given how many open tables were available. Once seated, we ordered the Rancher's Hash, which was outstanding. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the flavors came together beautifully. We also shared the Mediterranean Hummus, which was equally impressive. Fresh, flavorful, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried a couple of the seasonal beverages, and they were incredibly refreshing. If you're visiting, I definitely recommend trying one of the seasonal drinks. They were a perfect complement to the meal. The food itself was easily a five-star experience. Unfortunately, a few other aspects of the visit fell short. Our server was friendly when we interacted with him, but after taking our order, we rarely saw him. Other staff members delivered the food, and there wasn't much follow-up throughout the meal. A quick check-in would have gone a long way, especially since the restaurant was not particularly busy. The biggest issue for us, however, was the lighting. The interior lighting is extremely bright, and the white light fixtures reflect a significant amount of light throughout the dining room and directly unto the table also reflecting the light. For guests who are sensitive to bright lighting or prone to migraines, this may be something to consider. The lighting was intense enough that my daughter began experiencing the onset of a migraine, which unfortunately cut our outing short. While the food was truly excellent and worth trying, the seating delay, lack of attentiveness during service, and overwhelmingly bright lighting impacted the overall experience. I'd still recommend giving True Food Kitchen a try for the food alone, but I hope some attention is given to the guest experience as well.

    Great service and high quality food and drink. A perfect place to have dinner as a family or to go on a date.

    Excellent service, scrumptious quinoa bowl, delicious passion fruit mango margarita... yay! We were seated in a corner that was oddly lacking any other diners, but we were very happy with that as we could have conversation in normal tones. Great experience overall!

    Had the Korean Glass Noodle Bowl. It was delicious and just the right amount. Also enjoyed the passion fruit mango margarita. Our waitress was attentive and professional. The restaurant is very relaxed and enjoyable. Really good food. We will be back.

    GREAT OVERALL FIRST VISIT. I hope for many more to come. My bestie was visiting in town and we decided to stop here for a bite to eat. I've heard about this place since it opened, but I had never been, what a great first visit to share with my bestie. The waitress was really great, I can't remember her name, but she was a brunette and she was super fun. Very helpful and bubbly. Our service overall was very quick, we got everything in a very timely manner and everything tastes fantastic. In the front lobby, we requested to sit outside, they were very accommodating and helpful, it didn't take much more time than we were already told we had to wait for. The outside patio was perfect, we had a great view of the sunset and it was nice to see The people walking around the plaza. Plus, the weather felt great. We decided to order a few things so that we could each try a bit of it, everything was super fantastic and flavored so well. I honestly can't find a single thing to complain about. We finished every last bit of what we had quite happily, and contently went home. I'm excited for my next visit.

    True Food Kitchen in Tucson is easily one of my favorite spots in the city. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance sets the tone--bright, modern, and really welcoming without feeling overly trendy. It's the kind of place you can go for a casual lunch or a nice dinner and it fits both perfectly. The food absolutely delivers. The edamame dumplings are incredible--light, packed with flavor, and the broth/sauce they come in takes them to another level. You can tell everything is made fresh, and it really shows in both the taste and presentation. Nothing feels heavy or overly processed. I was especially impressed with the burger and fries. The burger was cooked perfectly, juicy and flavorful, and the ingredients tasted high quality and well thought out. The fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and the perfect complement--simple but done right. What really made the experience stand out was the staff. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure we had a great time. Service was quick without feeling rushed, which is always a plus. Overall, this place nails it on all fronts--fresh, high-quality food, great service, and a really comfortable atmosphere. If you're in Tucson and want something that feels both healthy and indulgent at the same time, True Food Kitchen is definitely worth checking out. I'll absolutely be coming back.

    I had such a great experience at True Food Kitchen. I ordered the edamame dumplings, a matcha, and the burger on a bagel bun, and everything was so fresh and flavorful. I also did the lunch special, which was a great value. The service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and timely without feeling rushed. I sat outside on the patio, and it was the perfect day to enjoy the atmosphere. Everything from the food to the vibe made it such an enjoyable lunch. True Food Kitchen always delivers on quality, but this visit really stood out. Definitely coming back

    Steak Frites*, GF
    Yelena R.

    We made a reservation for a party of 15 for tonight. They gave us an L shaped table which actually made it very easy to communicate to almost all of the guests. This place is very loud so it was nice not to be in the middle of the restaurant. The service was very good. It took a long time for the food to arrive but it is Friday night after all. I will never go back and here is the reason why. I ordered a simple meal, steak and fries with a side salad. My steak frites came super well done even though I ordered medium. I didn't even bother tasting it. I sent it back. A few minutes later they bring me another one and this one was medium well. I didn't bother sending it back. While the fries and the salad were good I was disappointed in my 42.00 dollar steak.

    I went to True Food Kitchen for an early dinner after hearing good things, and overall the experience landed as average. The ambience is one of the stronger points. The space feels modern, clean, and fresh, and the booth seating was comfortable. We went early, so it was not very busy, which made the environment relaxed and quiet. Parking is adequate, but it is not directly at the building. You do have to walk from the parking lot to the restaurant, which is worth noting for anyone with mobility concerns. Service was friendly but not very attentive. Our waitress was pleasant, but there was very little proactive check-in throughout the meal. For drinks, I ordered a spicy margarita. It was fine, but Tajín was not offered on the rim, which felt like a miss for a restaurant at this price point. I had to ask for it after the drink arrived. My friend ordered a pineapple seltzer, which tasted more like lightly flavored sparkling water than an actual pineapple drink. It was not very sweet and not especially memorable. We also ordered the air-fried french fries. While I generally like air-fried options because they are marketed as a lighter alternative, these were surprisingly oily. They come in a cone and are priced at $12, which already felt steep for what is essentially an air-fried potato. The fries came with a very small ramekin of sauce. When I asked for ketchup, the waitress said she could bring it, and then mentioned that ranch would be an extra dollar. At that point, paying an additional dollar for a tablespoon of ranch on top of a $12 side felt excessive. For entrées, we ordered the chicken parmesan and the Korean noodle bowl. Both were underwhelming. The chicken parmesan was overcooked, the noodles were barely warm, and the marinara lacked depth and flavor. The Korean noodle bowl was the better of the two. The chicken had more flavor, but even that dish did not stand out or feel particularly well executed. With a total bill just under $100 for two people, we both agreed the food and overall experience did not justify the cost. With so many dining options available, this is not a place we would choose to return to. Overall, the concept and atmosphere are appealing, but the service, food execution, and value fell short for us.

    My familyof 8 went there for dinner on New Year's Eve. It was a default but glad we went. They had availability which was surprising as most places were not available or had a special menu that night. In any event, we enjoyed our dinner. We were seated on the patio with a heater at one end of a long table with the other end at the outside edge of the patio (with a screen) so not all benefited from the heat. It wasn't unbearable, just chilly for some. The waiter was exceptional as was service. Everything was served in a timely manner and water was refreshed as needed. I had the American Burger with fries. Fries were a bit burnt and, in come cases soggy, but the burger was delicious and cooked the way I requested. One had the steak/frites and it looked really good and he liked it. One had the air-fried chicken tenders and said they had too much salt. A few had the pizza and the person having the chicken parm really liked it. Overall it was quite good and would go back.

The customer service is great, always ready to help and knowledgeable of the menu. Omar, owner, has a great personality. There is a consideration in the making of the food, use of ingredients for example the use of olive oil for the dressings and the chicken cooked fresh. Salad Nation is located in the malls food court, so that experience in itself can vary from very crowded, busy and loud to quiet and empty. Plenty of seating though! My go to choice is one of the salad size options (regular or large) that come in 'bucket' which is a deep bowl and of course some waffle fries. There are several dressings that sound deciduous but I find myself continuing to go back to the Cilantro Avocado. The waffle fries are insanely great. Hand batter and perfectly fried, some of my favorite in town... like top 3. Being that it's a mall, there is plenty of parking, bathrooms and space. You may have to walk a little to get to the food court but for me, it's worth it. Mom tip: Being a mom I bring my kids to the play area too!

There is a wide selection of toppings and dressings and protein choices (and the staff is very patient if you're a bit indecisive like me). And a nice choice of agua frescas.

I would definitely recommend Choice Greens to anyone looking for a fresh, nutrient-dense meal!
