    True Foods is one of my favorite restaurants. They are able to cater to my gluten and dairy allergies with healthy food options that are delicious. Their burgers are excellent, as is everything else I’ve tried. Our server today was attentive, very helpful and efficient. Highly recommend.

    I’ve been to Truefood for 15 years now, including the fashion valley location and the UTC one. The UTC venue has great decor; many guests. The foods my husband and I ordered were great. If my kid’s food was cooked a little softer, it’d suit kids better. The venue was a bit under-staffed for the day when we were there. After we expressed our feelings of being neglected, the manager and hostess both came to apologize and tried to make up for it. The foods at the fashion valley venue probably are more kid-friendly in comparison. Overall, we appreciated the staff’s willingness to make things right for customers.

    Thank you for your feedback, Hongmei. We're glad you enjoyed the food and decor at our UTC location and appreciate your understanding and acknowledgment of our staff's efforts to address your concerns.

    The service was great as our waitress (Australian accent) was wonderful. We had a food allergy at our table and she was so great with accommodations for the allergy. Great food and can’t wait to come back again.
