    I ordered the new seasonal salad with salmon and it was delicious, my new favorite. The salmon was cooked perfectly. My friend enjoyed her pesto lasagna. The service was great. Two thumbs up. 👍👍

    True Foods Kitchen is the ONLY restaurant we all can go to where everyone in our party can find something they want that is not only ridiculously delicious, but incredibly healthy too. The restaurant is very spacious, inviting and just a relaxing and fun place to dine with family and friends. Thank goodness they are in San Diego. Now if we can only get them to open one in the North San Diego county, that would be ideal!

    I love this restaurant-mostly the food & some of the beverages-the service at this location is almost always way too slow! The servers are generally friendly but maybe they are short staffed every time you go? It would be nice if they could be just a bit more efficient-for example our drinks took so long that there was no time to order a second before the bill came. I recommend anyway because of great flavors & healthy ingredients-just don’t go if you are starving or in a hurry.

    True Food Kitchen is definitely a 5-star restaurant and I always try to get our lunch groups to dine there. Luckily, they agree too, so we all enjoy afternoons together eating healthy and delicious dishes that floor us to no end! If you get the chance, get the Meatloaf sliders and the Iced Shakeratto. That's what I had it nothing was left for the dishwasher. Absolutely delicious 100%. Service was exceptional (as always) and we all had such a good time, I think we spent close to 2 hours there just enjoying the day. Gotta love San Diego but, I do love True Foods more! It's the only restaurant that goes out of their way to serve healthy and tasty dishes I can't believe I get to enjoy. Well done True Food Kitchen!
