Food is mostly self-serve. Ambiance: it's good for groups. Price: paid $101 for a group of 8 to dine in. There's a $2 surcharge to dine out. I rated it three stars because I would eat here again, but it would not be my first choice.

I made the "mistake" of paying for my meal with cash. The meal was decent, some foods were warm, others were not- so-warm. None of the food on the bar was really fresh and hot, except for a few of the spring rolls and some of the fish and seafood. I had what I thought was a fair and attentive wait service. It was good enough that I was impressed to leave a tip before ending my meal, a rarity for me. But all that good impression changed when it came down to the experience of leaving a tip; this experience made me decide to never go back again. My advice to potential customers, should you decide to patronize this restaurant, is to pay and tip with a card and keep an eye on your bank statement.

When a fresh pan is brought from the kitchen, it is as good as ordering from a menu. Lots of vegetables: broccoli, carrots, zucchini, baby bok choy, white mushrooms and seafood (mussels, fried shrimp, squid rings, fish filets). Sushi is the weak spot - rice not seasoned, edges dry. Calm interior, dim lighting. Staff is efficient and polite.

The bartender greeted me and asked if I wanted the regular menu or was the lunch menu sufficient. I perused the lunch menu, which had several different options. Surprisingly, everything on that menu was half price! What a deal! I ordered the most expensive item, the catfish sandwich, which was only $10. Even though they were very busy, I got my sandwich within ten minutes. They call it a sandwich but there ain't no way I could eat it like a sandwich, even with my big mouth. The catfish came with onion, lettuce, tomato, and some kind of sauce on a toasted sub roll. It came with a knife. I cut off the first bite. It was .......... GREAT! Wow! I have always gotten BBQ or fish tacos before. Fantastic blending of flavors. It came with a choice of a side and I chose fries. The fries were barely alive. Good flavor but partially limp. That was the only negative. I wish I lived closer to Farmville. I would make them regular visits during the week. They keep teasing us about expanding to Madison Heights but no action yet.

The yams come out a can taste like they ain't do anything but throw cinnamon on it. Never in my life had dry yams and they barely even a sweet it just got a crap ton of cinnamon. Next the mac & cheese. Lord have mercy. The mac & cheese had the texture of soggy cereal, flavorless, and greasy. Ribs dry as h*** with little blotches of barbecue sauce here and there. Look like they bought the pre-sauced pack straight out of Food Lion and just put it in the oven. I definitely try and support our businesses but Tru Soul you MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!! It was bad enough. I had to take it to the Internet. I couldn't just tell a friend about this one.
