Love coming here when we come to California… we don’t get this kind of food in upper Ohio… the menu is great. Our server Cloe was amazing and so knowledgeable. She gave us recommendations for gluten free options. The gluten free sausage pizza was amazing (however needed more cheese) We will be coming back! She also told us about the true food in Columbus!!!
I had an amazing experience here. Especially with Lino the server as his friendly personality and huge smile not only made my lunch, but also my day. I will definitely be coming back. The service was amazing and the food was even better. Highly recommend to anyone who needs somewhere to eat around Newport Beach.
I love this place! The VEGAN options are incredibly delicious!!! My favorite dishes are charred cauliflower, hummus, Korean noodle bowl, can't wait to try the rest of the menu....besides the amazing food, our server Jose was exceptional! Super friendly and detail oriented who went above and beyond. He truly cares about his customers and that's why we're coming back!
I had such a great experience at True Food Kitchen! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The spicy pineapple margarita was incredibly refreshing-definitely a must-try. The edamame dumplings were absolutely incredible, packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. And the air-fried chicken tenders were tasty—somehow light and healthy while still feeling indulgent. What really made the experience exceptional, was the service. Our server, Ella, was very attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. On top of that, both the GM, Arthur and manager Luis came by to check on us, introduced themselves, and made sure we were happy and well taken care of. That personal touch really stood out. A+++ all around for both the food and the service. Can’t wait to come back!
I often drive all around OC searching for the healthiest food options and this place is my new favorite. What initially brought me in was the seed oil free menu, but what will keep me coming back is the consistency of the food and the genuinely great customer service. For the food : The grass fed burger was incredible, honestly the best I’ve ever felt after eating a burger and fries (ask for the fries to be double air fryed to make them crispier). Everything tasted clean, fresh, and high quality without feeling heavy. The space itself is modern with an awesome outdoor space to hang out with a fireplace. Don't miss the dessert the flourless chocolate cake with coconut ice cream!
My girlfriend and I had lunch there today at the Newport Beach location. Food was out of this world!! We were wanting a sourdough bread. They happen to still be serving the sourdough loaf with cheese and lemon sauce that you were serving through Mother’s Day. Apparently there was still some left over to prepare. Please please, please keep this on the menu! It was beyond yummy!
Food and service were amazing! My husband and I ordered the Butternut Squash Pizza. It’s Vegan and something I would never think to try but glad I did. We absolutely loved and it’s on a sourdough crust! We also ordered the Mediterranean Hummus Wrap. It was excellent with a delicious dipping sauce. It’s also Vegas. It comes with two options of side salads however, I decided to upgrade to a small bowl of Mac and Cheese to try (not vegan) which was also very delicious. Didn’t order any drinks but they have lots to choose from. Aaron was our server. He was very friendly and gave great recommendations. Atmosphere is very nice with plenty of seating indoors and out.
True Foods is delicious. The food is consistently good and fresh. My favorite appetizer is Edamame Dumplings! You have got to try them. They also have fresh juice mixtures. I had one and added Vodka! You have go to give this place a try. I always sit at the bar. This trip I had the Edamame Dumplings, Ancient grains bowl and carrot cake.
Had a great experience at True Food Kitchen today. The food was fresh, healthy, and really well prepared. Everything felt clean, balanced, and flavorful. Our server Lilly took great care of us—super friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out perfectly. The service was smooth from start to finish and she made the whole experience even better. Definitely one of the better healthy dining spots around. Looking forward to coming back. — Melita🫶🏾🥰
If I’m near a True Food Kitchen, you better believe I’m finding a way to eat there! My go to order is the wild caught tuna poke bowl with a side of honey roasted carrots. I’m always cautious about where I get my poke from and this one does not disappoint. It’s very unwise - the black rice gives it a delicious nutty taste and all the flavors pair together beautifully! Another favorite of mine are the edamame dumplings as a starter. I need to work my way deeper into the menu but it’s hard to steer away from my favorites! I’ve seen complaints about the price of this place, but I’m willing to pay a premium for high quality food and ingredients that taste delicious and leaving me feeling good!
