Hands down, my favorite restaurant in Houston. I come here at least once a week, and I'm not even…read morevegan. The food is just that good. The servers are very nice and recognize me since I come so often. I recommend going there to eat because the food is not as good doing takeout (the takeout container traps the heat which cooks the food further and changes the texture). You can do their buffet if you want to try several of their dishes, but I usually order off the menu since I already know what most of their stuff tastes like. My favorite dish is the Cauliflower stir fry, they use Chinese cauliflower which I prefer. It's a healthy, simple dish, but perfectly cooked every time. Other standout dishes would be: Salt and Pepper Tofu, Spicy Dry Pot, and the Bok Choy + Mushrooms. The place is not too big, but there is usually ample seating. Casual and chill vibe, their music is a piano playing recognizable songs. Veggies are good for you and good for the planet. Vegetables dishes can be delicious when prepared properly. Come here to see how it's done!!!

This would be the 'hidden gem' I'd love to share with friends (or perhaps just gatekeep). The…read moreselection is quite varied, and has a lot of favorites, mostly Chinese/East Asian cuisine. Even though everything is vegan, there's plenty of saucy and spicy flavors to make it quite delicious! The sauteed green beans, salt & pepper tofu, hot & sour soup were my favorites. There's also dessert of coconut, fruit, and jelly (I ate so many bowls of it!). The staff were so sweet, and picked up our used plates fairly quickly. The pricing for the buffet is quite fair, at $16.50 per adult and $8.50 for kids under 4 feet. Hours are good, though there is a gap between 3pm and 6pm Mon-Thu, so keep that in mind. Also, you can order a la carte! They have quite a few delivery orders come in while we were there! My only note is to come closer to the busier hours. I think we came a little too early so the food wasn't quite as fresh, but they replenish the food throughout! I'm so glad I get to live so close to this place! Being across the street from Costco makes this quite dangerous for my wallet, but at least it's healthy!

This was my first time at True Food, and it did not disappoint!!!!…read more The service was excellent! Our server was so friendly, funny, and upbeat, which made the experience even better. We ordered a pizza that was half Margherita and half pepperoni, and it came out quickly, fresh, and absolutely delicious! The pepperoni had a nice tangy flavor, while the Margherita reminded me of some of the pizza I had while visiting Italy! The crust was perfectly crispy on the bottom but still light, airy, and doughy around the edges. I was genuinely impressed and will definitely be ordering this again! As far as pricing goes, I felt it was fair and pretty much what I expected for the type of restaurant and its location. I was also surprised by how spacious the restaurant was! There was plenty of indoor seating, but since the weather was so nice, we decided to sit outside on the patio, which made for a really enjoyable dining experience. Overall, I had a great first experience at True Food! Between the delicious pizza, wonderful service, and inviting atmosphere, I will definitely be back!

He anticipated our needs and knew the menu very well. He even knew how the food was prepared. He truly elevated our experience. This was not our first visit to True Food. We have had great food and great service each time. The staff is always excellent. We will be back!

The gentleman that took our order wasn't as bubbly, but he also wasn't rude. So, we'll accpet that. Lol Moral of the story, eat there.

My biggest complaint is that the chicken they use is mostly dark and you cannot order "white" meat or chicken breast since the chicken is shredded and prepped in advance.

An opportunity arose when a friend mentioned wanting to visit here for dinner. We showed up to a crowded small dining room, but luckily we were able to snag the last two seats at the bar. The selection was great. The matcha duck really stood out as something unique and special, however, I always order the tonkotsu ramen my first time at a ramen place. I went with the signature while my dining partner went for the wagyu BBQ tatamen. The prices were definitely higher than most ramen places, but you could tell they use high quality ingredients. I throughly enjoyed the tender meat and silky flavorful broth. The noodles had a nice chew as well. This was a very delicious bowl of ramen! I tasted my dining partner's ramen and it was good as well. Overall a really tasty ramen option with a good variety of options. Definitely worth a return.

My friends wanted to eat dinner after club meetings at Rakkan Ramen several times. But I always…read morehesitated because they serve the food I couldn't eat late at night. Yesterday, I had to show up because I haven't seen them in a while. Because it's a group dining, we ordered our food prior to sitting down. I can't tell if they charged me for the tips or not. With my recent experience at restaurants, tips suddenly included on the bills and I often find myself with a huge bill when I get home. Why did I pay them tips twice? I asked for a receipt and a cup of water. But I never got them. I ordered Quartz Vegan ramen. The creamy base got me suspicious of the ingredients. While I couldn't find it on the menu, I had to google it. No. Not milk but some kind of plant based milk. Phew. But why is it so salty though? Even the garnish seaweed was salty. Omg where was my water? EVERY FREAKING THING WAS SO SALTY. The conversation was good and I didn't rush out of the door. Based on my experience here, I would not come back or visit any other Rakkan chain.

The grounds of the temple is well manicured and neat with flowers. A big red sign read, "Govinda" was positioned so that I wouldn't miss it. As soon as I walked in at lunch time, the restaurant was damn near empty with only two families. The host immediately sat me at a table front of the buffet line. There was a strong lingering smell of pine-sol and Mr. Clean in the air. Of course, that indication told me that the restaurant was clean. The items on the buffet line was plenty, but limited. I got the rice, tofu curry, chaat marsala, and some vegetables. Everything except for the chaat was bland. It wasn't very easy to eat while the smell of cleaning supplies was in the air. It reminded me of sitting in a bucket of cleaning chemicals while eating a meal. The tofu curry tasted only like turmeric, but no salt or pepper or anything. The rice was super bland. The chaat marsala was very tasty and well seasoned. I finished off with desserts which both options were tasty. I hope to return to try their holiday menu, but I think today was a bad day for the cooks.

My family and I had heard about this place before in passing but we finally decided to give them a…read moretry. First off, this is NOT a restaurant. It's a one-man show. You order online hosted by hot plate and pick up at your scheduled time/date at their house. I ordered it but someone else picked up around 2 hours later. You get an automated text when it's ready and you text when you're there. For special requests, you can call/text the number as well; he was pretty helpful and responsive and mentioned to my brother in law that he personally made sure everything had no alliums at pick up. As a note: my family consists of allium-free vegetarians (with one vegan) so we asked ahead of time what our options were before we went for it. He (I really should have gotten his name) gave us a list of rolls that could be made allium free and we chose from them so you could say they do have an allium free menu upon request. We pretty much got almost everything on his list. For 5 adults, we ordered a total of 10 rolls: LOW-KEY LOKI (2) CLASSIC SPICY TUNAH (2) NIKCO ROCK N ROLL SPICY MAMI, HOT TAMALE SPICY DRAGON FIRECRACKER (2) When we opened the boxes, it turns out that he included an extra roll of SPICY MAMI, HOT TAMALE as well as a small container of seaweed salad which I thought was really nice of him! Or maybe we spent too much or there's some buy 10 rolls get 1 free promotion I was unaware of, haha. It was an unexpected surprise. I also have 2 kids but one has multiple food allergies and the other one is picky. She wanted a sweet potato roll, but it's not on the menu so we rolled up some seaweed rice rolls for them ahead of time so they weren't left out. I didn't bring up my kids because we wanted to ease in with the allium free request and go from there. Plus, one of the food allergens is avocado and that was found in almost every roll. On that note, there's an option to make it gluten-free on each item's page, which is pretty awesome. There's also an option to use soy paper instead of seaweed and to add extra ingredients at additional cost. My family shared everything so my plate was a mix and I honestly lost track of what I was eating at the time for personal notes. But honestly? Everything was delicious. Sushi was the last thing I gave up before becoming vegetarian and I'm picky with the sushi I eat now. These are very good and I must say if I lived in Houston, I'd order again. I do wish there was a place to sit or picnic nearby, but this worked as well. (We all congregated at a house.) There was one roll that definitely had a kick to it. Oddly enough, SPICY MAMI was not it. My nose tends to run with spicy food and I didn't get to that point but it was close after that one spicy piece. Overall, a great experience. Our rolls were $8 to $17 each, 8 pieces per roll. It was around $27.20 per person before tips and tax/fees from hot plate ($7.35). They were nicely packed complete with edible orchid flowers, and personal cups of ginger and wasabi as well as chopsticks and soy sauce packets. We finished everything. This certainly wasn't cheap but when is sushi affordable enough to be a daily thing? I do wish there weren't service fees added on top, but I guess the platform needs support too. Delicious and something to try whether or not you're vegan. I hope to order again our next time in town. Many thanks to the chef for the excellent experience and his help!
