Everything they say about the Edamame Dumplings are true, so so good! Watermelon salad is yummy and refreshing. Def coming back, there are a lot more interesting things on the menu I want to try!
THE BEST! Food is excellent, they only serve what's in season so the taste and quality will be consistently great, plus there is something for EVERYONE. Excellent meme pour les non vegetariens lol!
On weekends they serve breakfast later. Try the quinoa pan cakes or market scramble. During the week the fish tacos are great. Try the edamame dumplings daily soup or one of their custom drinks
Great place for Vegetarians - interesting and tasty options. Prices are fair . A quinoa burger is on the pic - try if you a are a vegetarian . Kale Aid is also worth to try!
Loved it! The bison burger was great, the refreshing juice (Bright Eyes) was very good. Edamame dumplings were comforting. Chia seed dessert was delicious. Look forward to its Chicago location!
True Food Kitchen provides such great healthy meal options without sacrificing quality or taste. The edamame dumplings are a must! I'm also a huge fan of the Inside Out Quinoa Burger & the juices here
Yummy healthy food . Edamame dumplings with dashi and truffle sauce & the seared tuna salad with grapefruit and avocado are both winners! 9/10
Yummy horchata and matcha drink. They have veggie options on the menu with good amount portions of food. Love the mood and decor of the place.
Need to start eating clean ? This restaurant’s menu is dedicated to all things gluten- and dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan . The miso soup’s forward umami goodness is only better with crisp veggies . Read more
The Huevos Rancheros was tasty, as was the curry although the veg was a little undercooked for our liking. Lovely atmosphere and service though! Would visit again.
Matcha Horchata Latte was amazing. Tuna tartar starter was ????????. Everything that arrived to our table was colorful and healthy. Saw 3 celebs here as well if you care about that stuff.
Nutritious, doctor-approved eats that you can still brag to your friends about. Pair the avocado/tomatillo/cotija Angus steak tacos with one of their still-healthy-if-it-has-fruit infused cocktails . Read more
One of my favorite restaurants . The tempeh sandwich was pretty good but a little too much tempeh for me. Butternut squash pie was delicious as was brussels sprouts app.
The Edamame Dumplings will change your life! I love this place...so many options I have the hardest time picking from the menu.
Great food!! Local, sustainable, healthy and delicious. Cucumber Honey Lemonade is very refreshing to drink. Super busy place, sit at the communal table to speed up sitting time.
Buddha bowl with cucumber noodles as a base instead of ancient grains ???????????? sparkling green tea & green juice drinks are reaaally good
Great gluten free options such as turkey burger on gluten-free bun or black bean quinoa burger . Can't go wrong, everything is delicious and healthy. Good wines .
One of the most extensive gluten-free options in town , including turkey lasagna and an “inside-out” quinoa burger garnished with hummus , tzatziki , tomato , avocado and feta .
Edamame Dumplings are delicious. It's a good serving size (4 large dumplings in an amazing sauce) but i could have has multiple servings as I just couldn't get enough of their goodness.
Great healthy and nutritious food. Friendly and attentive staff . Great location in Santa Monica. Nice local canned beer .
The food is divine! The atmosphere is buzzing, the staff friendly and helpful. It's the healthy choice that doesn't break your bank account! WIN WIN
Everything here is fantastic! The menu changes often so it is hard to recommend anything, buy I have never been disappointed here, so go for it. The wontons were the best I have ever had.
Eat and drink healthy with no guilt. The pizza was delicious, my daughter had a turkey wrap that tasted just carved. The inside out quinoa burger was sublime.
My fav place to eat...could come here everyday! Try the chia seed coconut banana pudding for dessert delish! ????
Don't miss the Grapefruit Mojitos at True Food Kitchen in Santa Monica! Plus the street tacos are out of this world good, and amazingly healthy.
So many healthy, vegetarian options ! We had the edamame dumplings , squash pizza , and chopped salad . All were fresh and delicious.
Everything so fresh and healthy with beautiful flavours. Recommend the grilled chicken kale salad and the Greek salad houmous.
The hummus here is to. die. for. A nice, quiet venue if you've been out wandering the promenade and are looking to relax. Do NOT ask for a Diet Coke . They brew their own sodas in-house.
The Natural is on the juice menu and is so simple and delicious. If you're going for fresh/sunny day, go farmers market salad . Cloudy day, try the Panang curry .
The edamame truffle dumplings are amazing but there aren't enough to share, so keep it to yourself.
The miso soup with mushrooms is a must. Great combinations of ingredients. A good deal for a starter. Serves 1 very well .
So happy they opened this location so I don't have to drive down to Newport Beach anymore. Everything is excellent. You can taste the freshness in the ingredients. "Medicine Man " drink is my favorite.
Fresh and very tasty. Fish tacos were great! So was the shrimp salad .. kids menu items a bit too sophisticated for kids...
Great place with food for everyone. Everything is really tasty here.
Edamame dumplings are as good as everyone says. Ancient Grains bowl and sparkling tea are also very good
if you're vegetarian , get the kale salad . If you're pescetarian get kale salad & salmon . If you eat chicken , kale salad & chicken . Basically, don't miss the kale salad . Trust me.
Seared tuna salad with Asian ginger sesame dressing $18, matcha green tea latte almond milk $4. Healthy, seasonal food
Amazing service, friendly staff , amazing food - definitely try out the Bison burger
gluten free pita bread and pizza is delicious! great option for anyone who is sensitive to dairy and gluten
I love this place! A combination of great taste and healthy food .
Undoubtedly he beat restaurant in Santa Monica. Try the edamame dumplings .
When it comes to great food with real ingredients, TFK delivers . Satisfy your inner foodie and pair your dish with a Bordeaux . You won’t be disappointed!
Genuinely everything is overwhelmingly healthy and full of flavor, but a special recommendation for the edamame dumplings .
Fast service . Edamame dumplings were good (but small). The salad was very tasty.
This restaurant is beyond delicious! Best gluten free crust on a pizza I've we're had. I wasn't disappointed with the farmers market salad either.
Everything here like makes your body smile on a cellular level. But a serious fave is the Shaved Turkey Pita Sandwich thing. Delish. Deeeelish.
Great for brunch ! Nice outdoor seating if it's not too chilly
Tomato & arugula pizza 8/10
Good grief, this might be the best vegan food I ever had. Wow! Options for carnivores too.
Spectacular, love the grass fed burger , animal style !
