    It's been awhile since I've visited, but the weather hitting a toasty 95 degrees, all I could think is, this is smoothie weather! Wobbly table aside, it was an okay experience. We found ourselves with more than enough options on the menu and a few seasonal summer mocktails. After ordering at the counter, they packed our meal to go. As we were eating there, we politely unpacked them. The team working was quiet, but nice. Per usual, I ordered an açaí bowl, which wasn't bad. I'd likely order it again! The watermelon mojito mocktail on the other hand may not be for me. It was a bit less flavorful when it first arrived (a bit icy). Once melted a bit, it felt a little too sweet for me personally. All smoothies (apart from the kiddo sizes) are one size, a pretty substantial size which does push them into the $8ish price range. Next time I'll keep the acai bowl and try a more traditional smoothie.

    Love this place, & this location in Shenandoah in particular. Amazing customer service & very friendly staff. Very knowledgeable of products & eager to help their customers. Always welcoming with greetings & smiling faces. But warning, you will become addicted to their entire menu as I have. Keep up the great service guys, our neighborhood enjoys this place so much!!

    Great smoothie & great service!

    We stopped here for the first time, seeing the good Yelp reviews. There is such a good variety (Bonus: calories posted on each one!!!). The manager, Lexi, spent quite some time helping me pick out what smoothie I wanted. She knew the menu well and thank goodness she was working when I came in. The size of the smoothies are impressive. They are all quite large, which is good in this Houston heat! I have found my new go-to place!

    ACAI BOWL
    Andrea C.

    Açaí bowls here are a must! You can definitely taste all the fruits in the açaí base. You get generous toppings as well. It's a bit hard to get into sometimes as it is quite frozen, but we enjoy it every time and are always satisfied. Seating inside is comfortable enough for a lunch or breakfast spot. Staff has been helpful to any of our questions. Haven't had any issues here.

    Chicken Pesto Panini
    Shauntelle J.

    Came here for a quick lunch in between a professional conference break out session- haven't had their food before but glad that I made the choice to choose their chicken and pesto panini!!!! So good and flavorful! Not bad for the 1st time- I will definitely return!

    I enjoyed a delicious and refreshing smoothie, Sunrise Sunset, at Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Owners Rakesh and Gabby were delightful and knowledgeable hosts. For a plethora of healthy dining choices, stop by and see them soon...and tell them the Mad Sausage King, Michael Clearman, sent you.

    We grabbed some lunch to go and we really enjoyed the ones we chose: 1) Hummus veggie wrap: If you're in a mediterranean healthy mood, then I recommend this one. It comes with hummus, smashed avocado, pepper jack cheese, romaine, kale spinach, rice, black beans and red onions and tomatoes. It's pretty filling overall so you don't feel guilty after eating it. A pretty healthy option (5/5) 2) Tropical chicken salad sandwich: This is my favorite one. It comes with pulled chicken, cashews, roasted pineapple salsa and jerk mayo with romaine spinach. It's chicken salad packed with much more flavor. I wish the cashews were sliced smaller cuz they were a bit chunky for me, but other than that, I really enjoyed the sandwich overall (5/5) Overall, prices are decent as you are paying for healthy options with fresh ingredients. Credit cards are accepted and there's plenty of parking.

    Great sized smoothies!!
    Amandalynn H.

    These smoothies never disappoint! They taste so natural and fresh! The fruits are never lacking in flavor! It is a little disappointing that there's only one size but the price is great considering how much smoothie you get! I've also never had a chunky smoothie from here. They are always blended to give a great consistency. The staff here went above and beyond. They were so nice and made such a short experience so enjoyable. (Shout out to Rakesh!!) Love this place! I loved their new star fruit flavor!

    This tropical smoothie does not honor yelp rewards. I had to purchase and use the app to gain rewards towards a free smoothie for a later date. No misunderstanding on my part but thanks for replying.

The cod fish was fresh, lightly breaded and done just right - chunky with a nice level of flakiness. In the case of these fish tacos, I'd let the pictures do the talking. The avocado tacos were made fresh. Black beans and pickled vegetables went well with this star of a dish. The hummus - jalapeno and crabcakes were mediocre. Roberto and the waitress gave excellent service. Water for refill was provided in a milk bottle which was great. Afterall, we are in this hot heat of summer. Requested seating in a booth and got seated at a booth by the windows. Leg space felt better at the booths by the windows than those by the bar. Roberto recommended other dishes I may like to try next time - cauliflower crusted pizza, local kebab, burgers etc. Glad to have discovered this restaurant that was hidden in the woods. It was also associated with owners of Hungrys whom I have patronized in years gone by at their Dairy Ashford and Rice locations.

It's sliced just right so that it's easy to chew, tasted like a steak, and it was indeed a healthy meal. I enjoyed everything about the sandwich, even got a few bites of some apples when eating the 2nd half of the sandwich which was a nice surprise/addition. Here, unlike another healthy fast casual place in town, I did like the available tea selection. I also ordered a cookie for dessert and it turned to be really tasty as well.

    1-Star Review: Absolute Disaster - Never Returning to True (False) Food Kitchen…read more We had one of the worst dining experiences imaginable at True Food Kitchen. We ordered our food, and it simply never came. After a long wait, our Brazilian waitress kept stringing us along with repeated false updates about how soon it would be ready. She left us hanging the entire time with zero accountability. What made it even more infuriating was the staffing situation. There were visibly more servers and kitchen staff than actual customers in the restaurant. Yet somehow, nothing was getting done. We watched plates of other customers' food sitting in the pass window for over 10 minutes while seven different servers casually walked right by, letting it sit there getting stale and old. Our server in particular seemed completely disinterested in doing her job--she had zero urgency or care for our table. The cavalier, neglectful attitude from the entire team felt like a systemic problem, not just one bad shift. It was as if the restaurant's "healthy, mindful" branding was just a front for pretentious, ill-mannered service that couldn't care less about actually delivering on basics like getting food to the table. We finally flagged down the manager, who at least gave us straight information: our order would still be another 10 minutes on top of the already excessive wait. At that point, we'd had enough and left without eating. This place is a nest of neglectful incompetence. Between the false promises, indifferent staff, and total disregard for customers, we will never patronize True Food Kitchen again. Save your time and money--go somewhere that actually values service.

I came there for a pre-concert meal; DJ Jazzy Jeff, Paula Abdul, and New Kids on the Block were performing at the Pavilion that night. Don't roll y'all's eyes. Lol. When I arrived, it didn't seem busy at all, so I seated myself at the bar. But, it did take a while for me to be noticed. First off, I had to ask a fellow patron for the menu which was beside him. After saying hello to one of the bartenders, he didn't bother to ask me if I wanted to drink anything. Granted he was setting up some drinkware, I didn't want to mess him up as he was organizing them. So, I let him be. It was not until another five minutes that his co-worker asked me what I wanted to order. Luckily, with preparation, I already knew what I wanted. First was the drinks. I ordered "The Godfather" (Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey | Disaronno Amaretto | Aromatic Bitters | Luxardo Cherry), which was really good! Nice and even drink with no overpowering flavors. Along with "The Godfather" came my usual accompaniments of iced tea, and water. Second was the food. Since I didn't know how big of a portion were the entrees, I played it safe by ordering two appetizers: Shepherds Pie Dumplings ("Homemade dumplings stuffed with marinated pork in traditional Irish seasonings. Served on top of mashed potatoes and finished with a green pea purée."), and Duck Wings (six wings "tossed in a Sweet Guinness sauce."). Usually, dumplings are steamed or lightly fried, but these dumplings were deep fried to a dark, golden brown. And with their accompaniments, they were really good! The wings with that sweet sauce were really good, too! I had to use a knife and fork because I didn't want to leave a mess all over myself. Would I visit them again? Maybe. I do have a concert next month. :-)
