I cannot tell you how excited I am to have True Food Kitchen in Edison, New Jersey. This is one of my go to spots when I am in Austin, Texas. Now I can have it anytime my heart desires.... which all the time ! If you want fresh clean, non-processed ingredients this is your spot.

If you're going to order one thing and only one thing only, please, please please order the edamame dumplings .. they are Ooooooo so good! My only problem with this place is that I want to eat everything on the menu and drink every cocktail they have !!! read more

Literally everything about this place is delightful, wholesome and on point. The staff is welcoming and happy to be there. The service was outstanding and our server took his time to check in with the kitchen and honor dietary restrictions at our table. The ambiance is lovely, deep bright green on wood and really inviting. This might sound silly, but the bathrooms were immaculate too. We had brunch on Sunday and it was divine. I had the breakfast tacos with bison sausage and my mama had the breakfast scramble with salmon. We also had the OG and prickly pear drinks. Yum! I highly recommend checking this place out. You will be so happy you did! read more

Fairly new restaurant for healthy eating, vegans and Gluten Free humans. Everything is fresh and organic. When I walked in, I was in Aw. Beautiful spacious restaurant! Very modern, bright and full Of life. Plants make everything better even if they are fake! Lol it's such a vibe added to decore and a lovely look. Menu had great options. Bowls, apps, salads, pizzas, burgers and entrees. It specifies if it's GF , vegetarian and vegan friendly. Also, calories are on there! Our waitress was wonderful, she was sweet, she'd always come back to us with answers after we would as questions regards dish! The squash pie.. unbelievable. If you Love pumpkin and sweet potato it basically tastes just like that. My Korean noodles were tasty. A tad spicy. I added tofu as well. Noodles had kick to them which I didn't realize but I managed to eat it. Everyone in the table were very satisfied with what they ate and will definitely return! read more

Oh I'm in love with this place! Second time I've been here. Ample room inside with booths, table seating, and bar seating. Outdoor area (from what I could see) had ample seating as well. My turkey burger was really good, flavorful and tasty. The kale salad was real yummy also. My spritz drink was refreshing. The waiter was friendly and sweet, complimenting me. I really like the vibe of this place. read more

This place is going to be a great addition to the restaurant scene in Edison's Route 1 area. It joins the other fast casual chains, but don't like the others who defrost, microwave and deep fry their food, at True kitchen everything is made fresh and in the traditional fashion. Very clean and bothered atmosphere. The wait staff is super friendly. Vegetarian options: Tons of vegan & GF options love it! Parking: Right off Route 1 in its own parking lot right outside the mall. Plenty of spots and easy navigation in and out of the spots/lot. read more

Service & food were good. Restaurant was very clean & they have outdoor seating. Manager was great, & on the floor checking in on customers & helping out. I had the winter harvest salad with chicken. Although it was very good, overall the restaurant is very pricey! ($23.99 plus tip for a water & salad) read more

I stopped in one night while in town on business. I was very impressed. Bartender was friendly, the food was organic and very tasty. I would absolutely stop back here again whenever I'm in the area. read more

Great spot if you're looking for simple and fresh food! The menu is seasonal and they have a lot of vegetarian / gluten-free options. My mom and I shared the Truffle Honey & Squash Flatbread and the Ancient Grains Bowl with a side of Brussel Sprouts. The flatbread was a bit too thin but the toppings were really delicious. In both entrees, the vegetables were cooked and seasoned well! Since the portion sizes are on the smaller side, I would recommend coming here for lunch. Overall, True Food Kitchen is a welcomed healthy addition to the local food scene! read more

My honest review is that the food was delicious. The ancient grains bowl was amazing and we ate every single bite of it. The bison burger was so tasty. The pizza crusy was a little bland and thin but the toppings were very tasty and sweet. The restaraunt itself is huge with super nice seating, tables, and lighting. And the waiter was extremely nice and patient. The only thing is the price is pretty high for the portions, but the quality of the food is outstanding. read more

Cool place. New, so everything is clean and well maintained. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Drinks were very good. Food was also very good, felt more like a farm to table vibe as they promote the fresh/organic ingredients. No complaints at all. Will return as it's a better regular dinner option than other chains at the moment. Easy to make reservations. Prices were reasonable. Turkey burger, pizza, two drinks (can't remember if we also had an app) was about $80 read more

The service from Deritrick was amazing. We came here with our 3 month old daughter and it was her first restaurant experience. Deritrick was so accommodating to our situation- we got to-go containers & payed the bill ahead of time in case our daughter got fussy. 10/10 service and the food was delicious and quality- True Food Kitchen never disappoints! read more

Made a reservation for a big party and they seated us with no problem! Ordered a variety of items on the menu, including the Korean bowl, different types of pizzas, and burgers. The burgers were very juicy and yummy! Pizzas were pretty flat and crispy but still full of flavor. Specifically, the squash pizza was very unique due to its sweet flavor. The pesto pasta was also pretty unique in flavor but still pretty good! The kid's pasta came out much earlier than the rest of the food did but that's ok. Overall had a great experience, thanks! read more

Kirsten was awesome thank you! Food was amazing we love coming in. We will be back The gift certificate for my grandson will be perfect for holiday! read more

Went for brunch on Sunday. The decor is very refreshing. Going to restaurants in NJ, i have always found ambience as something which i feel the restaurants consider secondary. But i found the vibe, decor as very refreshing which gives out a very energizing vibe. Kind off feels like you are in a typical northeast cafe. The place is huge i would say and it was pretty full. The menu is also refreshing with eclectic choices which you would not find in a typical brunch place. Below are the dishes i ordered. Sparkling Prickly Pear Tisane- 10/10- Very refrshing and as the name says "Sparkling" with a buzz Side of Roasted Brussel Sprouts- 8/10- Crunchy, lightly roasted with lemon zest, cheese and nuts Truffle Honey and Squash Flatbread- 8/10- We ordered gluten free. It also had arugula and i love arugula. I found it a little bit greasy but worth the taste as it is not a usual combination you find everywhere Ancient Grain Bowl- 8/10. Healthy, tasty as expected. Overall i would definitely recommend this place. Personal Favorite- The sparkling drink!!! read more

Finally got the opportunity to try out true food kitchen, instead of making my way over to shake shack like I usually do, and I was quite pleasantly surprised. I was a bit hesitant to try true food out, because it is a bit more of a "healthy restaurant" and unfortunately sometimes these kinds of places trade off a bit of taste for the health factor. I got the lasagna and added shrimp to it and I am happy to report that it was delicious! The food is a bit on the pricey side, but I'd say it is worth it! read more

The service was excellent. The employees were welcoming and helpful. The ambiance was very contemporary and had a lot of character. The menu had a lot of innovative and creative options. The eggs, avocado toast, and dumplings had a great twist to it! We added dashi sauce (from dumplings) along with some chili paste to our farmers scramble - game changer!!! read more

Such a beautiful space with amazing service and good food! Our waiter, James, was so nice and always checked in on us. The food was really good too with a lot of vegetarian options. Loved the cauliflower and butternut squash soup. The hummus, fall pasta and flatbread were all good too. Will be back again! read more

My sister told me about True Food Kitchen in GA, so I was super excited to give it a try when I found it one was coming nearby. True Food Kitchen does not disappoint. I've ordered carry out twice and can't wait to dine in. Both times I ordered the Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Teriyaki Quinoa Bowl and The O.G. The Brussel Sprouts are lightly seasoned with a vinegarette and chili thread. The teriyaki bowl is just right, not drenched in sauce but nowhere near dry. Both are tasty and light. The O.G. is the perfect beverage to finish the meal. I find that it curbs my nightly after meal sugar craving. read more

In town for work and have been to a few other True Food locations before. Got lucky as this one just opened. Had their Pesto pasta. Yum! I decided to add Tuna to it- wish I would have chosen shrimp to enhance the flavors of the pasta more. Service was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. This will be my go to every time I'm in the area. read more

Ugghhh. Just plain ole Ugghh. Too loud. Too empty. Too disappointing. I was hopeful. Knew immediately it was not a place I wanted to be. Had a beer out of courtesy, then left. read more

Loved our brunch! The butternut squash pizza was Delicious! Service and staff are so friendly and know all about their food. read more

True Food finally in NJ! I've gone to the hallmark Santa Monica restaurant years ago. I definitely think that post franchise the restaurants have gone down slightly in taste- however still a delicious meal! I got the gluten free pizza with roasted butternut squash. The flavors were great but super salty. Not sure what happened there, but would've loved it without the sauce. We got the cauliflower appetizer which was DELISH. For dessert, we had the GF chocolate torte which is my favorite chocolate torte to date Drinks were good too! Great family place for lunch and dinner. read more

Adriel always anticipates your needs and always gives a warm welcome. If he has had your table before, he definitely remembers you and gives you that at home, familiar feeling. Will come again for sure read more

Food was real good. Love the bowl combination of sweet potatoes, ‍ , , tofu and sweet quinoa with a great sauce

The service, here is stellar. I love the warm welcome and chats with Christina when I arrive. My favorite place to sit is at the bar when Raina is working. She is the consummate professional. Always smiling. Always friendly. She has the gift of hospitality and it shows. Thank you for always making my visit a pleasurable one. read more

Nice space and good food to check out once. The menu is all over the place and not cohesive at all.

The service was decent, but the food needs more flavor. Korean steak has no Korean spices, not making it a Korean steak or flavorful. Also, the seabass had no taste, unsure if it was seasoned with salt and pepper. The dumplings need to be warm, not cold. read more

Great service and food wonderful setting good cocktails will go again . Casual and trendy

The food was delicious!! I was so excited to see SO MANY items on the menu were gluten free! I had the cauliflower appetizer and the chicken tenders! I will definitely be going back. Wish there was one closer to Hamilton. read more

The Food was really amazing brussels sprouts excellent. Great service and the manager was great.

Really unique place. It is definitely a trendy restaurant. If you are looking for any type of staples for food, you won't find it here. While they have pizzas and burgers, they are done in a "green way". Very nice staff. The place was very bright and upbeat. The seating and table wear remind me of a Panera meets Shake Shack. They do have a bar and some unique non-alcoholic drinks in which I appreciate. The main reason why I'm giving it a 3 is because of food flavor. The environment and staff is a 4.5. read more

I wanted to be blown away by this place but it's alright. It was an early dinner, and the place was empty, so I didn't understand why we had to wait so long. And the service was spotty (the server would be there then disappear, and we needed our drinks filled). The food was just okay, and the portions were small for the amount we paid for each dish. I guess that's a "healthy" thing to have small portions, and I wouldn't mind if the food was out of this world, but it was just okay. read more

The food at TFK is excellent; really delicious and, by the way, healthy. There is something for everyone, from carnivores to vegans. The Forbidden Poke bowl is a real treat, way way above the average. The burgers are yummy too. It's a pleasant place with outdoor seating and nice service. read more

Excellent food and menus offerings. Our bartender Bruno was pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu and history of the restaurant. Will be back for sure!! read more

Our bartender, a wonderful woman from Japan at the Menlo Location, was amazing!! She was really patient in making adjustments to drinks to fit dietary needs, and was super helpful, knowledgeable, and kind! 10/10 recommend sitting at the bar when shes working. read more

I don't get why people like this place. Food ranged from inedible to fine. Some of the food was spoiled and sour tasting, avocado was brown and menu didn't list all ingredients so items came out differently than expected. Coffee was bitter and undrinkable. Place was empty on a Saturday at noon but drinks came out separately with one here one there over 30 minutes. At least the waitress was friendly. read more

Today we had 20 people in my party, and while service suffered a little bit (one server for all of us), everyone was so pleased with the wonderfully creative food choices. I must add that the management and staff are so very accommodating and seek to make your visit perfect. No other venue does it better. read more

I had amazing service not only that but the food tasted just as amazing I had such a great experience there and hope more people could go in to check the place out and try their food their atmosphere was amazing as well great music and great vibes all through the restaurant such a refreshing experience! read more

I was excited to try this place and I have to say it did not disappoint! If you are in the mood for some tasty healthy food, this is the place to come. My first impression was that the inside was spacious, clean and decorated tastefully. The service was also great. The host sat us in a nice spacious booth away from others, and our waiter was super polite. He let us know what was popular on the menu and asked us multiple times if we had any food allergies or wanted extra of anything. He also let me know how the dish was prepared and edited any ingredients I didn't like off the menu The food itself was delicious. We ordered the edamame guacamole and the chips and guacamole was super tasty. I would order it again. Then we got the Peruvian burger which was really good. The side of sweet potato has was also flavorful. I would also order this again. I also got the spice pineapple margarita. It was delicious. I was shocked they even sold cocktails and had a full bar. That was an added bonus as I was not expecting that from a healthy food establishment. The combination of alcoholic cocktails and healthy drinks was unique and refreshing from a restaurant. Overall I would definitely come back. My only critique is that the margarita although delicious and a decent size, didn't seem to have enough alcohol in it. I didn't feel any type of buzz from it. I only ordered one though so maybe if I had ordered two it would have been worth it. If I am ordering tequila I usually want to feel like I am drinking tequila, otherwise I would have gotten something else. Either way it still tasted very good. read more
