I had an excellent experience here on a Monday night. They have great options for all sorts of diets, including amazing vegan options. The corn soup was delicious and the spinach and mushroom pizza was very tasty. The vegan cheese on the pizza was great as well, it did not over power the pizza at all as vegan cheese can do at times. I was a little let down by the vegan strawberry cheesecake, however I have yet to find a great vegan cheesecake anywhere else either. I will be back!!

I just love this place so much. The food is always delicious and you can almost always get a table. They have such a great selection of items for all preferences and none of it feels like an after thought. Finally tried and fell in love with the veggie burger. Thrilled that it’s not just wheat based. Impossible burgers and the like taste great, but how much wheat can a person eat?

Vegan burger with sweet potato hash and kale salad and a strawberry lemonade. AMAZING! The best vegan food I've had in a long time! I sat at an outside table and enjoyed the sunshine. They have shaded and unshaded tables outside. There are a lot of inside table too.

Crawled in here after an 11 hour flight like some sort of tired goblin and was fully rejuvenated by delicious food and great service. The vegan food here is so flavourful and feels genuinely nourishing. Cocktails are excellent too. Would potentially take half a point off for lighting - I feel like dimmer lights in the evening would create a nicer vibe.

I have been there twice and love the place. The location is right next to the mall, and they always have a table available. Food is fresh. I love their burrata appetizer/salad. Pizza is delicious. Prices are reasonable. Would recommend the place.

Service was wonderful and the food was scrumptious. Had the Ancient Grains Bowl with tofu as the protein. It was very tasty and enjoyed it. It was a great location for me and my sisters to meet a relative halfway for lunch who I haven’t seen for some time. Has ample garage parking nearby you need to pay for, but I believe the first hour and a half is free. Adding photos of everyone’s dish. They all said it was delish.

Great meals but a bit over the top in costs though. My sister has connections to this chain and introduced me for the first time-I was definitely impressed. If you are vigilant about “health” foods, this is an option. Everything from the fresh juices, teas, cocktails. From the steak/shrimp tacos to the bowls to the appetizers to burgers etc . was splendid. Service was outstanding, management hospitable. Jay was our server and he was on top of everything from A to Z. I do recommend this place but make sure your wallet is packed. I would eat here regularly if it wasn’t so pricey.

This restaurant was really good. I am not a vegan but there vegan dishes were delicious. The edamame with the truffle sauce was amazing. The cauliflower was so yummy since it was roasted it had the perfect char. Their veggie burger was light and tasted good. Their spinach pizza with the house made vegan ricotta was very good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely go again. Dessert was an avocado made key lime pie. Taste was spot on.

Very spacious and clean place. The food is quality and yummy. There are so many options to choose from on the menu for your taste. The service is great and very quick. The Korean bbq noodle bowl is delicious. Food comes hot and fresh with out sitting around under the heat lamp. The manager is on it and does a great job making people get what they need. The drinks are excellent. I would return and would highly recommend trying this place out.

It was the first time I went to True Food Kitchen for lunch and I recommend this restaurant if you want to eat something light, with flavor, and have a first-class service. My experience was very good. Don't forget to ask for chocolate cake 🍰, it's divine! I would like to thank Ismael and the Manager for their kindness of service.

Nice experience having dinner here. The food was served hot and the service was good, but it took more than 20 minutes to serve dessert. Sea Bass dish was delicious as was the pizza, though it was smaller than expected! The burger wasn’t a good one because it was dry, needed some sauce and it lacked flavor.

Disgusting place with disgusting staff...terrible!

To all those people who say healthy food cannot be tasty. Please visit this restaurant to get your mind blown. We ordered Charred Cauliflower, Organic Tuscan Kale Salad and a Vegan Double Cheeseburger. Charred Cauliflower - It was decent. Would rate 3/5 Organic Tuscan Kale Salad- 4/5. It was yum. I chose to eat salad over burger and I didn't regret my decision. Vegan Double Cheeseburger -4/5 It was scrumptious. It was served with side of sweet potato hash. We went on a weekend hence it was little crowded but got the table without reservation. Last but not least, their super friendly staff. I am rating their hospitality 5/5.

The shrimp taco was super delicious! But I would've felt better if the plate came with 3 or 4 of them, not just 2...

This is the second time I've eaten here and have enjoyed my experience. The restuarant is cozy, decorated like a hip cafe; with an open kitchen (which I always love). The staff is friendly and the atmosphere pleasant. My boyfriend and I both enjoyed different bowls. They were tasty, though I have two comments. First it could have used a bit more seasoning (but I do enjoy my food more heavily flavored); and second, I was expecting the meat to be seared and then sliced but it appeared as if it was presliced and then cooked. I make this comment because we had both asked our steak to be cooked med-rare; and had we been explained that the meat is not cooked that way, we would have ordered slightly differently. Still had a good time; great location while out shopping in Santa Monica. I'd go again to try something else.

If you're looking to ear clean, whole foods, this is your place! Good cocktails too!

As a person who is delivering during this pandemic this place is absolutely ridiculous!!......today they were over 25 min late with an order when I gave up and canceled!! This is not the 1st time.... They are always late past their pick up time so we as drivers look badd because we're supposed to deliver by a certain time and when we don't get the food till 15 minutes after that time it makes it impossible for us to get there on time!!....as a person who lives in Santa Monica i WILL NEVER accept another call from here! I wouldn't even eat here...they only care about the dine in customers..the online people can go straight to the back of the line...true food and belcampo. The 2 worst in Santa Monica!

TFK is the convenient place to go with friends & family because they cater to everyone's preferences. A farm to fork restaurant with moderately priced selections is a treat for anyone who's never been, and for those who enjoy the experience every time. They offer gift cards on their website ranging up to $500 per purchase. Bon Appetit!

True Food is a solid, bankable chain of healthy restaurants that you cannot go wrong with. Regular go-to when you want something vegan, tasty and satisfying This is a location smack dab in the middle of the Santa Monica shopping and eating district. Lots and lots of outdoor and indoor seating although I’d recommend not sitting right by the door because the door is left open al the time and it gets hot! Wish I’d taken photos of the little tubs by the front of the door that had succulents and plants 🪴 Rotating seasonal menu is always good although I wish they had more ‘cold’ food options like cold noodles or sandwiches

I love this place! Excellent food, organic, healthy, fresh from the farm, appealing to the eye, a feast for the taste buds! Freshly squeezed juices that will energize you and help you feel better! I remember the day I had this green juice, I was feeling fatigued and after drinking it, I felt better. Fruits and vegetables are good for us and it gives us the vitamins our body needs to function better, I believe! Some of my favorite things here are the herb hummus, edamame guacamole, heirloom tomatoes salad, watermelon salad, avocado toast, ancient grains bowl, refreshing drinks, the herbalist, kale aid, and so much more. I highly recommend this restaurant! Food that is good for your body and soul and energizes your spirit.

Food was fantastic, as were the staff. The only thing I didn't like was you have to pay for refills on non alcoholic drinks. Charlie was our server, he was fantastic and QUICK!!! PS... Try the lemonade apple drink 😋

I went to see Barbie today, took all kinds of beautiful photos, and then found this restaurant. The temperature by the sea is really comfortable. I ordered salmon, burgers, and children's pasta.

I've dined here a few times already with my coworkers. For some reason, they like coming here. I think it's mainly because they have big tables and can accommodate large parties. I don't think the food here is that great. I did enjoy the edamame guac, that was good. The cocktails are easily forgettable and my burger wasn't that tasty. My sweet potato hash was also burnt, sadly.

(Translated by Google) very good (Original) Muy bien

Ordered take out and we were impressed. Ordered the Dragon Roll, Paradise Roll and a spicy crab roll. All were very good! The presentation even for takeout was impressive. They included all of the extras we requested (some restaurants ignore your requests). The shishito peppers we ordered as an appetizer were extra spicy!! But so good! This place definitely fulfilled our sushi craving.

Great for brunch all day round, breakfast pizza and cocktails? Yes please! Great atmosphere, delicious food and drinks and courteous service staff. Party of 4 with some picky eaters all accommodated to taste. Always looking forward to visiting them when nearby to one of their locations.

Came here after a nice hike and it was well worth it and affordable. Chicken was flavorful. My family and I enjoyed our delicious meal. I will definitely be coming back. I wish there was one in the SFV.

We ordered take out. I ordered the ancient grains bowl. I really enjoyed it. We also tried the vegan double cheeseburger. It was good, would have liked it better with more sauce. Had to add vegan ketchup at home. Oh also had the seasonal veggies. We liked them. The service was amazing, waitress was great. Very nice restaurant, in and outside dining.

For the appetizers, we ordered Charred Cauliflower. I liked the idea of chopped dates and pistachio with the cauliflower. Though they both were in a very small quantity but elevated the texture and taste of the dish. For the main course, we ordered - Spaghetti Squash Casserole and Garden Pesto Pizza. I am not a big squash spaghetti fan, still, I like this dish. I wouldn't be shy about trying this dish another time. The garden pesto pizza was also good. The con is that the service was very slow. There were only a handful of people when we were there, yet they took 30 mins to bring our food. Also, they brought all the dishes together. By the time we finished one dish, the other two were cold. That was a big turn-off. Overall, I have a bitter-sweet feeling about this restaurant.

Edamame dumplings are to die for! Location is excellent in SM and you’ll walk away feeling healthier by eating anything prepared here. Do it!

The pizza margarita was good, really thin, maybe it was that thin that the pizza was falling apart because the dough could not resist the sauce and cheese, the drinks were great but the problem was the "Ramen", 20 dollars for 4 pieces of chicken, one egg, a little bit of cilantro and like 4 pieces of jalapeños, the flavor was flavorless, insipid, the ramen noodles did not helped, they are rice noodles, overcooked rice noodle, it didn't tasted like a ramen it was more like a pho, but if I knew it was like a pho I wouldn't order it, because I was craving a ramen that day, it wasn't bad but I was expecting way more, probably I did not order the right dish for me. The drinks were really good, I have to admit it. Service is good, my server was really consistent and kind with us.

The atmosphere, food & service was simply amazing! The Salmon was Juicy & tender, the entire meal was flavorful & mouth watering. Thanks to Errol & the crew for such a delightful lunch. I've been sharing the love ❤ iRejoyce

I got the pesto pasta and I loved it. I took the photo almost at the end of my meal. It was a good size meal. They also offer some very good non-alcoholic (and alcoholic) drinks which we very much enjoyed. Edit: we went back with a group of friends and I had another great experience. I added two more photos.

Excellent food, staff was fine. It rivaled my favorite Thai restaurant in Orange County! Also, a great bargain for lunch!

I've been wanting to go here for years. Wasn't expecting their cocktails to be so good. The Dragon Fruit margarita is HIGHLY recommend. The staff was very nice and welcoming. The food definitely exceeded my expectations. It's nice to have a healthy restaurant where the food doesn't taste like dirt. All the food we had tasted fresh and very well prepared. Definitely will be back.

If you are ever in the Santa Monica area please stop by True Food Kitchen. The food is amazing, clean and fresh. You taste the freshness in every bite. The customer service is great and every team member has a great attitude and love to be of service. They also make great recommendations if you are a little indecisive on what to get. Steve is one of the mangers at True, he is very personable and makes sure his customers get a great dine-in experience at True Food Kitchen. I highly recommend this place. It's healthy food with flavor, time and effort! You won't regret it I been there three times in a row because it's that delicious.

The food is great here, the service is very attentive. One advise you should always add some protein to your bowl, otherwise the portion will be very stingy, as you can see in my pictures. 3 of us had the teriyaki bowl, one with tofu and one with chicken, these portions were pretty good, mine not that much. Leaving hungry.

Fantastic options to choose from. Enjoyed my meal! I recommend the Teriyaki Quinoa Bowl, I added on tofu which tasted great. I also had a wonderful pink lemonade. I highly recommend. I also had a slice of pizza and it was really tasty! Everyone really enjoyed their foods! They even have gluten free pizza is yummy!

First time visiting in Santa Monica and a friend recommended this spot for dinner: it definitely didn’t disappoint. The restaurant is spacious and nice, our server was very helpful and kind. The food was clean and had lots of flavour. A little spicy for my own taste but gobbled a lot of water! We started with tuna crudo which was very good and for mains my hubby got the poke bowl and I got one of their bowls and added steak on top. All great fresh and tasty!

The rice was bomb, the hummus was bomb and the chicken was good but not great. I'm willing to try it again, maybe just a different meat selection. Good portion for a good price and quick easy service.

This is the best Sushi/Izakaya Restaurant I have ever eaten at (including in cities like CA , Vancouver & Toronto). We were in CA for 3 night and ate there for 2 of our meals. The wait time may be long, but MAN is it worth it!! Vegetarians rejoice, this place is a dream. Loved the gyoza, for Rolls; Secret weapon & Surprise Ending.

The service was very friendly. Social distancing was great!

Went here for lunch on a Saturday at noon. No wait for seating or service. Tables outdoors, under umbrellas or in the shade of the building, so nice and comfortable. All over 6 feet apart and nice and clean. We had the butternut squash soup and shrimp tacos. All tasted fantastic. The soup arrived in 5 minutes and the tacos took 35 minutes, which was a bit odd. They took care that what needed to be gluten free arrived that way and no problems occurred. Great to people watch from our seats outside.

The food is amazing as always, but the portions are tiny compared to your other locations! Usually I can barely close the lid!

We really recommend True Food Kitchen! Best healthy family friendly place in Santa Monica. Christina the manager is really on top of things and even delivered two kids pizzas by herself that was missing from my order. Thank you!

This site is my favorite place. Of all restaurants I know I like it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to visit this restaurant. everytime If I need a fair meal, this is the place that comes right away to my mind. outstanding and all sorts of food and a rich menu.helpful staff, and agreeable vibes. Not less important, the bill is honest. I recommend this restaurant with pleasure.

Excellent, great food, very friendly staff, original, outdoor seating on sunny Santa Monica afternoon just superb.

meh. nothing special. overpriced for what it is.

Great service and yummy (healthy) food! Hummus was amazing

Nice vibe and atmosphere. Quality food and ambiance. Great for people watching.

The chicken wrap comes in pretty cold but the appetizers are the best

Not only was everything natural but the food was wonderfully flavorful. Freshly made and not overdone. It has a nice atmosphere and reasonable prices. The employees were very polite and efficient, the food came out swiftly. Highly recommend!

Such fresh ingredients. My niece and I loved our meals. Great place if you have a group of vegans and meat eaters. My niece has a nut allergy and they were very understanding and accommodating. The O.G. is the best homemade ginger drink I have ever had. My burger was so good too. I will be back when I visit Santa Monica again!

This place isn't vegan even though they try to trick you by listing as vegan when searching on Google. I would completely be ok with them listing as vegan if they at least had enough vegan options to keep vegans satisfied. But they don't. Their vegan options are basic and minimalist. Stop lying to people. Your aren't a vegan restaurant and you hardly have decent vegan options. How many other vegans got tricked by this to be irritated by the luke warm menu?

Wonderful service (they offered a high chair for my baby and made sure hot plates were out of his reach). The food was good and arrived fast.

Such an amazing restaurant. Large inside, lots of natural light and space. There was a wait when we came but there was additional bar tables on the side where you could get drinks and start your orders before actually being seated which was pretty amazing to keep everyone occupied and cared for. We were seated on the patio on the side of the building overlooking the street which was perfect. Absolutely amazing food, great drinks. The service was pretty good but seemed a bit disorganized, didn't really affect our experience. Will definitely come back!

Amazing food

Great healthy food.

This was our favourite place to eat while we were in Santa Monica. We stayed at the Shore Hotel which is just across the street from this place. As a warning this place gets really busy later in the evening. But the restaurant is large enough to not feel cramped. The service was amazing and the the staff were friendly. Lots of interesting selections on the menu. The food was seasoned and flavoured perfectly. This place would make it very easy to be vegan. I did not miss meat at all. Over the course of the week we tried several different dishes and all of them were delicious. Highly recommend you try this place out, you will not be disappointed.

Great location ans food!

Great salads very fresh and tasty.

The Korean noodles were spectacular!

This is a beautiful restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The ingredients are locally sourced; some are even grown on site.

Best shrimp taco I've ever had@

Every time I’ve ate out here it’s been amazing

Great quality food. staff was very friendly and reasonable prices

Great to see a polished operation that offers plant-based dishes that are delicious. Really hope they expand in Los Angeles with smaller restaurant settings. Think there is a market for it and they offer a great many options to their guests whether they are health-conscious or not. Nicely done TFK!

This place is staple in my diet as it has been since it opened.

(Translated by Google) Something different and very unusual to which I am used to eating very delicious and at a good price, excellent and recommended near the pier of Santa Monica (Original) Algo diferente y muy inusual alo que estoy acostumbrado a comer muy delicioso y buen precio excelente y recomendable cerca de la pier de santa Monica

Best place for entertain

Affordable, fresh, and delicious all vegetarian/ can be made vegan food with superior service. Need I say more?

Literally true food 😁

Food is superb and healthy
