Had the best brunch this morning at True Food Kitchen, and Mason absolutely made the experience. From the moment we sat down, his energy was warm, genuine, and effortless--exactly what you want when you're out enjoying time with people you love. He was attentive without hovering, dialed in on every detail, and somehow made the whole table feel taken care of in a way that felt personal, not transactional. The food was incredible (as always), but Mason elevated everything. It's rare to come across service that actually shifts the tone of your entire experience--and he did exactly that. We left feeling happy, taken care of, and already talking about coming back--and yes, we'll absolutely be asking for Mason. Five stars all around. read more

Food was great as always and Jesse was an excellent server who was very professional yet personable.

Jesse was the best! Food was fresh and service was friendly. Thanks! You're the best.

Been here many times (also in Arizona too). The food is so fresh and consistent. The Caesar salad is always a good one but I also love the Korean Noodle Bowl is a favorite (+grilled chicken). They can accommodate pretty much every food needs and the portions are just right (matches the cost). Highly recommend and will continue to be a repeat customer! read more

We haven't been to True Food Kitchen in quite a while due to menu changes and rising prices, and our recent visit reminded us why. The menu feels less focused on healthy options now and leans more toward fried and "comfort" foods. I ordered the seasonal market salad, which was quite underwhelming. It was mostly lettuce with just a small amount of carrot, cauliflower, and a chopped up date. I took off the feta, to make the dish vegan, but they didn't offer a substitute. I added tofu, but only received a few tiny pieces. The prices are also excessive, my salad was double what it cost last visit. We were also charged for an adult pizza when we had ordered the kid's version. Service was another disappointment. Our server was a bit over the top but still forgot my son's drink and our friend's appetizer. When we asked about it, he dismissed the issue without apologizing and suggested it was our responsibility to remind him, even saying, "I should write these things down." It's disappointing to see how much this place has declined. Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend it. read more

True Food Kitchen has been a long time staple in Cherry Creek at least for as long as I have been in Denver and they have always killed it and I think they have even gotten better over time. They are always my go to spot when I find myself in Cherry Creek and I want something on the healthier side that won't break the bank. I really do always feel like my stomach feels good after eating here. When you think of healthy food, typically taste is sacrificed for health but I never felt like that is the case here. No matter what I get here, it's always at least decent if not delicious. It is also really cool to see the open concept kitchen where you can easily see all the chefs prepare the whole foods. It is evident that they take pride in their food. The only thing that I am taking a star off for is that I have often felt rushed when dining there. We also asked for no sauce on the grass fed burger and when we received the burger with sauce on it and pointed it out the person who appeared to be the manager just replied "ok...?" like we were annoying him or he didn't understand what the issue was. Overall, love this place and will continue coming here for my tummy friendly food! read more

Usually one of my go to spots with my friends who all have dietary restrictions. Service is generally good. Great vibe- feels clean and fresh. My friends and I generally get the burger and chocolate cake. We love them so much! Tonight though, we all got super sick quickly after. It seemed to be a really off night for them food wise- didn't taste right going down (or back up). Big bummer. This was my girlfriends' and my favorite spot because it met all our restrictions. Will be back... but maybe wait a few months to say the least read more

Mason was super helpful and made us feel amazing! The food was great as well. Mason provided us great food pairing suggestions.

Great food and a lot of options but definitely on the pricy side but they are on inkind! read more

Grand niece was in town and she's gluten, dairy, etc., etc., intolerant so she chose where we were having dinner. We were seated immediately which for a Friday night was unusual! Niece and I both had the Lasagna Al Pesto. Really good and the pistachio pesto was a first and really complemented to dish well. Flavors literally sparkled! My wife had the All-American Burger and she said it was great. I must admit to expecting everything to taste like hay and grass but this 'natural' restaurant ROCKED IT!!! Mason also 'sparkled' and he would appreciate the notice and recognition. Well done! read more

Mason was amazing... Knowledgeable, funny, great service, wonderful server. True food is a go-to. Love the place.

Airelle was a fantastic server, she made the experience for us. Outstanding sour dough pizza we also enjoyed the watermelon salad! It's spacious, but parking can be a challenge. The food was so good, I would definitely go back or try another location. read more

True Food Kitchen always delivers delicious from start to finish. Our server, Christian, was warm, attentive, and a step ahead of anything we needed. One of our favorite starters is the Edamame Dumplings. This vegetarian-friendly starter is only 270 calories for the whole dish. You know they're on the way when the truffle aroma reaches your table. It's wild how they take simple edamame and dial the flavor up to eleven. The silky broth is so good you'll want to drink it straight from the bowl. If you're sharing, you'll be fighting to get the last drop. I usually order the Spaghetti Squash Casserole, but tonight I switched it up with the Lasagna al Pesto. The pistachio pesto bursts with bright, herby notes that balance the tangy tomato sauce perfectly. The turkey-sausage Bolognese was tasty, for me it was just a touch salty. My husband went for the Chicken Parmesan. The True Crisp'd™ air-fried chicken breast was juicy, crisp, and generous; easily enough for two meals. I regret not ordering it myself! This dish packs 50 grams of protein and every bite tastes like comfort. We left happy, grateful, and already planning our next visit. Thank you, Christian and True Food Kitchen, for another lovely night. read more

Immediately when you walk in the food smells amazing. It can be busy so be prepared for the environment to be a bit busy. Service was great and the food tasted delicious. Only a 4 since the bun of my burger was soggy. read more

I was craving something healthy in Cherry Creek and decided to try TFK. I was impressed by the variety of affordable organic options and fresh juices on the menu. Despite being busy on a late Sunday morning, the wait was short. The front staff, however, seemed a bit overwhelmed. There were three hosts working--one of them in training--and their process of calling out guest names without taking phone numbers felt inefficient, especially when they struggled to locate people on the waitlist. Once seated, service improved significantly. Our server was attentive, and our order was taken promptly. We opted for a patio table to enjoy the beautiful weather. I ordered the Rancher's Hash, which came with eggs, grass-fed beef, sweet potato, avocado, tomato, and peppers. The flavors blended nicely, though it was on the salty side, so consider asking for no added salt if you're sensitive to that. Overall, the food and atmosphere made for a great experience. I'll definitely return to try more dishes next time. read more

I love this menu, very innovative. I came in for a quick lunch and it was busy. I tried the edamame dumplings and they were very good. It is garnished with white truffle oil, dashi, thai basil, and sesame seeds I will need to try to make a copycat version at home. I also ordered a salad. Service was good and fast. Casual. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

The food was delicious but the best part of the meal was our server, Mason. He was 10/10 with enthusiasm, provided great recommendations and amazing service. read more

I don't understand the positive reviews because this place was horrible. Went over the weekend and the place was packed...good sign but that was the only positive. The burger had zero flavor. We didn't get dressing on our salads, both came to the table dry as a bone. Soggy bun. The fries were a strange consistency, burnt on the ends and almost a disintegrated texture in the middle. We had to ask our server why our fries looked so bad but tables around us had normal looking fries. Why didn't the crew use discernment before sending these out??? They took the fries off the bill and brought new ones but even the new fries tasted like cardboard. When we finally got our dressing tasted like too much Dijon mustard with no other flavors. I was supposed to order a to-go for someone and decided not to because the food was so trash. Disappointed and will never go back! read more

Out of town review. I don't have true food kitchen where I live, but I've been to one when I was visiting Austin so I was glad to see that they had one in Denver so I can eat here again. I ordered the edamame dumpling with white truffle oil. Honestly, this was the one dish that I was looking forward to to the most. It left a memorable impression on me last time. Along with the dumplings, I had an iced Matcha Horchata drink and I ordered the crispy chicken salad that I think was one of their seasonal menu items. They weren't super busy today and we were well attended on by our server. This place is a little pricey, but you can taste the quality in the ingredients. This is in the downtown area of Cherry Creek so you can either park on the street or in some of the lots. Kid friendly with high chairs and changing stations in the bathroom. Overall, 4/5 stars read more

Vanessa is the BEST. Took such good care of us and had vast knowledge of the menu. She was happy to accommodate my plant based requests

Ugh. Slow service despite being only 30% full. Went after lunch but before dinner and positive some of the food was leftover from lunch and kept warm. Fried chicken should come to the table hot and crispy, not wet with the breading sliding off. Salad had wilted, black lettuce and almost no dressing. Cool vibes, but there are far better food choices within 2-3 blocks of this place. read more

I came with a pretty large group of 12 people so they had to split us into two separate tables, which was fine. It made splitting the check easier. I ordered the jambalaya pasta. The flavor and proteins were really good, but the pasta was a little overcooked so they were a little mushy. It didn't stop me from finishing my plate though, so there's that lol. The server was really nice and pretty prompt. If you're looking for tasty eats without feeling too guilty, then I'd recommend going here. read more

True Food Kitchen - Ancient Grain Bowl with grilled salmon! - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Mason is such a delight! Thank you for making our date night a wonderful evening. Delicious food as always!

I've been here a few times, with my first visit about eight years ago during my initial trip to Denver. I remember having a fantastic experience back then, but this time, it fell short.. more of a 3.5-star experience rather than a 5-star one. The edamame dumplings were enjoyable, and the pistachio hummus was decent. However, the butternut squash pizza didn't live up to the hype- I would have skipped it had I known better. The one redeeming quality was the sourdough crust. I ordered the penne pesto pasta, while my husband had the curry bowl - both were underwhelming. Our friend's salmon, on the other hand, was excellent, with a nice crisp texture, and my other friend really enjoyed her vegan burger. Service was lackluster, and overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to return. I'd only recommend it for the vegan options, but otherwise, it's a pass. read more

I took my friend here tonight since he's been wanting to try this restaurant. It did not disappoint! We ordered: Roasted Brussels Sprouts Air Fried French Fries w/ house made peri-peri ketchup Spicy Panang Curry Bowl w/ tofu Grilled Sustainable Salmon Seasonal Fall Pie (butternut squash, pie spice blend, graham cracker crust, whipped coconut cream) The food and service has always been great. Tonight was no different having Damon as our server. Friendly, efficient, and full of suggestions for our meals. We enjoyed our meals, especially our entrees. The salmon was cooked well and the curry bowl was full of flavor with a touch of sweetness. The peri-peri ketchup provided a nice tangy flavor as well. We ate up the pie and could really taste the spices - it wasn't too sweet either. Damon's attentiveness especially towards the end of the night made our outing a great experience. He didn't rush us as the restaurant started getting ready to close. Everyone greeted us when we left as well. We'll be back! read more

Food was super amazing! Jesse took care of us and even didn't hesitate when we asked for a side of sweet potatoes for our toddler even though it wasn't on the menu. Love the variety of foods too!! read more

You all know that everything regarding dining out has gotten really expensive: Food costs, mandated minimum wages, inflated energy, insurance, etc etc, I truly feel sorry for any restaurant without scale to offset these tough circumstances. Take for instance True Food Kitchen....I love their food and have dined at their restaurants in Walnut Creek and Santa Monice many many times. My last time in cherry creek was sort of an eye opener...sure the food was pretty good but the three of us for a casual lunch was over $150. My basic curry bowl with shrimp was over $30. Don't get me wrong service was fantastic It is sort of sad that such a basic meal has become such a luxury. I would definitely come back but would adjust my expectations and credit card limit. read more

Food was great, Mason was very attentive and took great care of us. Squash soup was great!

We were walking around the Cherry Creek art festival and stopped in for lunch. The food was quite disappointing. The watermelon salad was drowned in dressing. Instead of letting the ingredients shine it was swimming in it. My market salad with chicken, swimming in dressing, mostly greens and the chicken was so dry it was inedible. My husband got the poke bowl, was also over sauced and not great. There's no excuse to execute this poorly on basic dishes., read more

Mason was absolutely amazing he was the kindest waiter I've had in Denver. I love his positivity and really added to my experience as a whole. read more

Eh... this place has fallen a bit for me. The food isn't as creative and flavors just fall short, especially on the Asian- inspired dishes. Service is good though! And my husband loves the turkey burger! We just don't go as often these days due to the flavor inconsistency and cost. read more

Being 9 months pregnant sometimes it's so hard to figure out what to eat.. luckily TFK has many entrees to choose from! Not only do they have many entrees to choose from but they've got seasonal menus, gluten free options, and vegan options. A little something for everyone! It was our first visit so naturally we wanted to try everything. Our waitress recommended the Edamame Dumplings and man what a hit! If you like truffle oil, this will be calling your name! The Sourdough Focaccia was also very excellent - crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They had full chucks of garlic (which I love) but be mindful if you're not a garlic fan! It's also only served after 5pm and limited quantities available. The Chinese Chicken Salad wasn't bad but it wasn't my cup of tea. I wanted it for all the veggies but it was very heavy on the ginger (pickled ginger and carrot ginger dressing). I'm not personally a fan of ginger but if you are, then this might be for you! The chocolate peanut butter tart looks like a huge Reese's Peanut Butter cup but not as sweet and more flavorful. Only concern was that initially we were served the wrong dessert (squash pie). It looked very good and seasonal but our waitress noticed right away it was wrong. She apologized, took the pie, and said she'd have to give it to the right table. I hope she really didn't "re-serve" that pie as it had been on our table for at least a few minutes before she came by... I would definitely go back to try some other items! It was a nice and clean corner restaurant located in Cherry Creek. Great spot to sit after walking and shopping, or taking big family groups. read more

True Food Kitchen holds a special place in my heart as a great spot to be if you have food restrictions (vegan & vegetarian in particular). I love taking vegan friends here as there's a good number of options for them. I don't love every dish, but they do make quite a few that I find fantastic. I don't think the menus across locations are identical and they are definitely somewhat seasonal, but there are some staples you'll find at each. That said, I have to give a shoutout to the cauliflower appetizer (with the sauce and dates *chef's kiss*) and the vegan key lime pie with ube (it is truly a wonderful dairy-free treat). read more

The freshest of fresh food. Delicious! Our server was great. It was my first time and she was very patient with explaining the most popular menu items.

Price = above average $$ | service = above average | cleanliness = above average | interior = modern, contemporary | parking = metered street, pay garage Ordered the Ancient Grains Bowl...no photos (it was too tasty to even take one) but hopefully the following gives you an idea. This visit was for one of our pro fighters. If it's good enough for a pro MMA fighter to eat, it must be healthy, right? A perfect blend of health galore between the avocados mashing into the bowl, crunch from fresh snow peas, smokiness from charred onions, clean sauce but bursting with flavors of pistachio pesto and more. P.S. you should probably like pistachio and pesto for this healthy bowl. Oh also...I ordered the edamame dumplings which was another to dieeeee for. The saying of "healthy does not taste good and has no flavors" gets stomped on by this bowl of ancient grains and healthy sides. If you're looking for a guilty pleasure of flavorful food while keeping that summer bod...look no further. This bowl is the jack and Jane of all trades. Healthy never tasted so gooooood. read more
