Stopped by True Food Kitchen in El Segundo at Point Plaza for lunch and had a great experience. The food was super fresh, flavorful, and really hit the spot. Service was excellent — our server Nichole was very friendly, and we also had a nice chat with the manager, Sofia. Overall a great vibe with tasty food. Would definitely come back!

This place is SOOO underrated. My family and I went to eat there with so many dietary restrictions. They were able to accommodate every single one of them. Plus I have never had turkey lasagna because I don’t eat red meat and they had the best suggestion for that &&&& the gluten free crust mushroom vegan pizza with almond based ricotta!! Chris was our server and he was so friendly. He gave “friend” vibes and makes me want to come back with more people. Cherry on top was JJ! I believe he was the manager and he made us all feel at home and we LOVED him. His vibe and welcoming was beyond immaculate. Will 1000% be coming back with more friends. <3 thank you Chris and JJ!!

The Baseline

The Baseline: For an eclectic dining experience, the food offerings must be of quality for the variety offered, the seasoning/flavors must be special, the side dish offering must make sense with the other items, and the menu must be manageable. August 2025 Food: Used the August 2025 brunch menu and had some new things. Ranchers Hash was good- great steak, great sauce, good veggies, and sweet potatoes was the base starch. I ended up wanting regular potatoes over the sweet potatoes (and I understand the sweet potatoes are the healthier option), but I will chalk that up to personal preference. Farmer’s Market Scramble was also good but it suffered from the sweet potatoes verses potato battle with my group (potato wins for preference). The scrabbled eggs were silky, smooth and delicious and the cheddar added to the dish. The Lemon Blueberry Muffins were awesome and were a great ender desert for the meal. I also had an Iced Shakerato which was a great mid-afternoon coffee fix. Service: We had a good waiter and was attentive. All water glasses were kept full once we got them. Ambiance: Very nice and comfortable when we came in for a late lunch. Well lit and the temperature was comfortable. Clean spaces all around. June 2025 Food: The offerings on the True Food menu range from Asian to American from Italian rounding by Greece. The variety of the menu is large but several of the items work together (the Mediterranean Hummus starter works with the Korean Noodle Bowl). This visit we had the Pepperoni Pizza, Mediterranean Hummus, Korean Noodle Bowl, Chinese Chicken salad, Pesto Pasta, and the Thai Shrimp Lettuce Cups which all were good together. The Chinese Chicken salad was a bit heavy on the ginger in the dressing and the pesto pasta had a bit extra salt, but the pepperoni pizza was close to perfect and the Korean Noodle Bowl had a great mix of flavor. I ended with coffee and the flourless chocolate cake which was an awesome end to the meal. Service: We had a great waitress and all parts of the meal were delivered efficiently. All water glasses were kept full and the extra request for more crackers for the hummus was fulfilled. I was very happy with the friendly and helpful staff. Ambiance: True Food kitchen has been at the Point since the opening day over 15 years ago and the restaurant still looks great. Nice space between seats so you are not talking over adjacent guests as well as spacious comfortable patio area. The bathrooms are individual mini rooms with one communal sink and the area is very well serviced.

absolutely delicious! the food is fresh, well-seasoned and served beautifully. The space is very comfortable and in my opinion brings natural elements together with a commercial space in a very beautiful way.

Fantastic in season menu! I love their Gluten free, Vegan and dairy free options. It’s always fresh. The service excellent, friendly warm and welcoming. I started with the soup, butternut squash ( gluten free and dairy free) it’s so lovely to enjoy the soup with our worrying of all the cream they would add to it. I followed it by the exquisitely roasted Brussels sprouts, so delicious roasted. I then combine them in a spoon as I took a bite of both at the same time, what an explosion 💥 of flavors. Finish up with nice cup of tea. Highly recommend it if you are looking for fresh ingredients, and delicious healthy options.

Health focused eatery that has multiple locations. Came here with a friend and enjoyed some items off their happy hour menu. We had the mushroom pizza, edamame dumplings, and a poke bowl (did someone say “girl dinner”)? We had a reservation that we made online in advance. Parking is easy and free. The food is tasty and the edamame dumplings with the truffle dashi broth are a must-order. I like how there are numerous options for specific health concerns, whether it’s their mocktails, dairy free options or gluten free plates. Seating was spacious and plentiful.

Simple, fresh, health conscious food with vegan and vegetarian food options! I’ve been to True Food Kitchen locations all over the US. I’ve tried a bunch of their vegan menu items and have consistently enjoyed myself. I’ve been to known to frequent the grain bowls which pop with flavor and are always filling. I do wish there were more vegan menu options, though. Vegans get enough salads and grain bowls at restaurants. I’d love to see this chain embrace something less seen on menus for vegans to enjoy. With that being said, I am downright addicted to their squash pie that you can typically only order in the fall/winter. Picture a pumpkin pie but a thousand times better! And the best part…it’s plant based! For me, a cup of tea and a slice of squash pie…done…dead…and gone to heaven. Perfect nightcap!

Came here for a work function and enjoyed the space. They had a set menu which was easy to deal with for our team. Service was friendly and attentive. Food came out at a reasonable pace as well. The hummus was really good with a kick. The burger was pretty simple and healthy too. Overall, good spot for a large group!

The service and ambiance are excellent at this restaurant, and the management is always very responsive. However, the food prep quality is inconsistent and needs to improve, specially those coming from the grill. I have had instances of hamburger patty tasting like lighter fuel (probably, in a rush, the patty was put on the grill before the fuel on the metal grate was burned out), buns' inside faces charred, and steaks not done as ordered. I love this restaurant (at this location in particular) and hope this review to be taken as a constructive feedback.

So let me start here. I've eaten at multiple locations. We had... - quinoa pancakes (hair in them 🤢) -farmer scramble add steak. We know we love true food. We go out of our to eat here every time we are close. This location was about 35 min from us. But we wanted to go. As we are a ⅓ of the way into our pancakes my husband finds a hair. Gross. We tell the server and she apologizes and says her mom also won't eat the food with a hair in it. 8 think most if not all people feel that way. I was just surprised they charged us for the pancakes ...... Anyway. We did not go out of our to go back. But the hostess was so cute and sweet. And the server was also sweet.

Super disappointing experience. We ordered takeout and couldn’t believe the state of the food. I got a sandwich that cost $30 and when it arrived it looked like the quality of fast food. To spend 30 on a sandwich means you expect a higher quality of taste and presentation, even for take away. I’ve tried to speak with the restaurant privately about it but 1 email and 2 disconnected phone calls later I realized I unfortunately needed to post a review. Used to love this restaurant so we were definitely disappointed that the quality declined.

The atmosphere at True Food Kitchen is nice, but this visit was disappointing. There were only about 15 people in the restaurant, yet we waited nearly 30 minutes for our food. When the turkey burger finally arrived, it was cold and honestly inedible. After we asked for our check, the food suddenly appeared. The server seemed indifferent, and there was no initial effort to make things right. That said, the manager did come by and offered to take the burger off the bill, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the overall experience still fell short.

You ever have one of those restaurant experiences where you make a reservation, get sat, then are forgotten about? One of those times when all the people seated after you, got service and food before you? I feel like we were sat in no mans zone, that no server wanted to deal with, AT ALL. Then our food came out cold. Frustrating because it’s my daughter’s favorite place, and the bill was still 120 bucks… What are you gonna do??!

I had an extremely disappointing experience at True Food Kitchen last night. I first ordered the mushroom pizza, only to be told 10 minutes later that they were out of it. Annoying, but I decided to give it another chance and ordered the vegan double cheeseburger instead. After another five minutes, I was informed that they didn’t have that either — along with several other vegan items listed on their menu. This all happened at 6 PM, hours before closing, so there’s no excuse for being out of multiple menu items that early in the evening. It showed a clear lack of preparation and very poor management. After wasting time waiting for food they couldn’t serve, my date and I ended up having to leave and find another place to eat. Overall, the experience was simply unacceptable. I hope they seriously improve their inventory management and communication with customers. I won’t be returning anytime soon. I've eaten at multiple locations and never seen this unacceptable level of service. The only redeeming factor was that our server was pleasant as he continued to deliver bad news from the kitchen! 🥴
