“ We have dined here many times. We always enjoy the atmosphere sitting inside, but the most recent time, we were sat outside and taken care of by Nicole. The inside is definitely a different vibe than the outside yet you receive the same great service. On this particular night, we ordered multiple appetizers and split a meal. Nicole spaced our courses so well that we never felt rushed and our table never felt crowded which could happen quickly with the tiny tables. Our plates were cleared before we received our main dish and she even went above and beyond to split our curry into two bowls without us asking. The service is definitely a reason to visit here and also the food is delicious. We had the hummus with the flatbread and veggies. The hummus has so much flavor with the added toppings that it’s good with the veggies or the flatbread which is like a cracker. The butternut squash soup was a thick, creamy soup - great flavor profile - very unique. The air fried fries were okay with the sauce. But the curry with the green chicken is definitely something i can’t stop thinking about. It was deliciously unique, and had many more veggies than most curries. ”★★★★★Ashley Morikawa · a month ago
“ Second time at True Food Kitchen and I love it even more. It was my husband’s first time and he actually liked it, which says a lot since we’re both pretty picky. Everything was super fresh. The edamame dumplings are literally addictive, and the Ancient Grains Bowl with salmon was amazing! The pistachio pesto pairs perfectly with the veggies and the grains. The puffed sourdough with honey ricotta was sooo good. The margarita pizza was just okay. Drinks were great too! Loved my grapefruit martini with basil, and my husband (very picky about his Moscow mules) really liked the blood orange one. Service was warm, the bar staff was lovely, and what we assumed was the GM was very attentive and checked on us. The open kitchen was very clean. Only note: I preferred the shrimp from my first visit over the salmon, and the mule could be even better with a little fresh mint. The double espresso was surprisingly one of the best I’ve had around here. We’ll definitely be back 🤍 ”★★★★★Ryme Hajila-Gray · a month ago
