Nothing really changes at True Food Chicago. Only this visit was worse than previous visits. The edamame dumplings were tepid; nowhere hot or even warm. The dry meatloaf was atop a bed of burned/charred/half-cooked vegetables and the presentation looked as if was carelessly plated, which it was. Service? Awful. It started OK and then, the waitperson completely disappeared. Twenty minutes after finishing the meatloaf, I flagged down a different waitperson to order desert. The flourless chocolate cake arrived visibly singed, over-loaded with caramel sauce, and at room temperature. I sent it back. The replacement was 15 mins in coming and also singed. I was done. I asked for the check and I was gone. Disappointing visit but this seems to the standard at TFK Chicago.

The gentleman seating people was not very accommodating. I walked into an empty restaurant and asked for a specific table. He informed me he could not sit me because it was a different servers turn. If it was busy I would understand that reasoning. Not a big deal, but definitely not an acceptable answer/remark to make. Server was fantastic and food was good. Will definitely be back and hope the host is more accommodating when restraunt is not busy!
