    Love True Food! We visit usually every 3 weeks & different locations. The FV and UTC locations are the best. Espresso martinis and Ancient Grain bowls are our favorites. We also love the street tacos and charred califlowwr for appetizers.

    Food and service was terrible. Dry dry dry air fryer chicken sandwich. Bland salad. The OG refresher that was recommended was so bitter and took forever to get. Took forever to get anything!
    True Food Kitchen - San Diego FVResponded on 16 December 2024
    We're really sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with the chicken sandwich, salad, and OG refresher. Thank you for your feedback, and we'll work on improving both our food and service.

    We haven been to True Foods many times and enjoyed the food and service. I’m not sure of the reason, but tonight was an off night. The service was slow and some of our food not up to the standard we have been used to. One dessert was so bad we sent it back. The dining area was not full or unusually busy but it did look like they had a busy take away area. Are they catering more to outside delivery orders? I hope this is not their new normal, we have always enjoyed True Foods for family dinners especially because they have something for everyone… vegetarian, vegan, meat eaters etc. Very disappointing.
    True Food Kitchen - San Diego FVResponded on 10 December 2024
    Thank you for your feedback, Debbie. We apologize for the slow service and the issues with your food; we'll address your concerns with our team to ensure a better experience in the future.

    We came because my friend is vegan and TFs has good options. We just wanted a small bite so we tried the sourdough squash pizza, squash soup and sourdough foccia bread with honey butter. Wow! Everything was super delicious and fresh. Looked like everything on their fall menu would be fantastic. Highly recommend!

    Thank you for your wonderful review, Debi! We're delighted to hear you and your friend enjoyed our vegan options and fall menu selections. We hope to see you again soon!

    I ordered the citrus orange glazed salmon salad and was given plain salmon with no glaze. They said they were out of the glaze. No one came to me in advance to let me know that they were out of the glaze so I could’ve changed my order. I was just expected to eat the plain salmon. I was charged full price. I asked the waiter for a discount since I did not get my full meal. She spoke with the manager and gave me a 10% discount, which is ridiculous. So disappointing because I have eaten at True Foods many times and have never been treated so dismissively.

    We apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment caused by not receiving the citrus glaze with your salmon salad. Thank you for bringing this to our attention; we will address this to ensure better communication and service in the future.
