    Stopped by for a late breakfast and have to say the service was excellent. The food was colourful and delicious, recommend the farmers market scramble add avocado. My girlfriend had the Ranchers Hash which was also very tasty. Highly recommended

    Great food for us - GF and our daughter is vegan. We all enjoyed our entrees and were delighted by the waitress who genuinely understood our restrictions. When we ordered a birthday dessert, both vegan & gfree, our waitress told us that it would be complementary since it was our daughter's birthday. The absolutely scrumptious chocolate peanut butter tart was perfect to end our evening - even came with a birthday candle lighting the way! Thanks, True Food Kitchen.

    Thank you for your wonderful review, Michael! We're thrilled to hear your family enjoyed the entrees and that our waitress made your daughter's birthday special with a complimentary dessert. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

    They treated our group of 5 plus small child with great hospitality. Loved the plant base burger! The grain and ahi bowls were enjoyed too! We all ordered dessert and polished off the Chai cakes, chocolate peanut butter, and coffee instead of going to another location. Everyone in this group said they would return soon. Thank you True Food Kitchen-Santa Monica for the good team work.

    Food was good. Server was great. Rude hostess made us wait while table was ready and restaurant not full. Restaurant was out of a lot of food.

    food was delicious. waitress was excellent. we were seated and served quickly. ambience was lacking because of the large tv sets...people from a table nearby were turning around to see the tv and were facing us during our meal - very distracting. not every restaurant needs tvs. there are still people in the world who enjoy conversation

    We ate at the Santa Monica location. Very good, healthy food and affordable. I wish we had a TFK in Sacramento, or, better yet, Davis, where we live.

    Very disappointed—lovely place but the dishes were scant and expensive, and the service was very poor. Will not be returning, especially as there are so many other places nearby to choose from.
