    Salmon
    Heather H.

    If I could give 3.5 stars, I would. Service is quite good which brings the score up. Ambiance is also pretty great and I love how convenient it is in the point. However the food was really mediocre and hit or miss. We got multiple entrees and I tried some of other people's. The bad: -The Chinese chicken salad was weird, I've never had anything like it but would NOT get it again. The ingredients a bit obscure which is fine but the dressing was unappetizing. -Adding "steak" to a salad- the "steak" that was added to our salad looked like chewed up dog food. Weird chunks that was so gross and chewy. I've had better steak at chipotle or any other establishment. They should really remove this option. MEH: -Salmon- salmon was cooked fine. The vegetables underneath were okay but had a slightly weird flavor -Jambalaya was underwhelming The good: -The mushroom pizza? Delicious. Would absolutely get again -Panini is more like a folded pizza but was honestly sooo good Seems like only the bready/pizza things were good here.

    Comfort fries!

    I escaped LAX during a layover (before the red eye home!) to enjoy my favorite meal at TFK. This is a chain so I've been to these before but this one is a standout. The servers and staff really fo above and beyond to be warm and welcoming. My go to meal is the season soup, the kale salad with no cheese add salmon and occasionally I order the fries. I love the grapefruit spritz (n/a) and also the skinny margarita. Highly recommend!!

    Ambiance: green and healthy themed restaurant, with spacious and cozy dining vibes, good for large group hangouts Service: very friendly and attentive, introduced their menu and specialities thoroughly, refilled water promptly Food: their menu has a heavy emphasis on vegetarian food Edamame Dumplings - *** white truffle oil, dashi, thai basil, sesame seeds, unique taste Pepperoni Pizza - *** Niman Ranch uncured pepperoni, DiNapoli tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, average taste Spaghetti Squash Casserole - ** caramelized onions, fresh mozzarella, DiNapoli tomato sauce, mushy texture Voodoo Ranger Juicy Haze IPA - **** canned beer, easy to drink, recommend Price: small to moderate portions, overall mediocre quality, expect $35+ per person

    Thoughtfully made food without losing the eye on taste, flavors. The staff were excellent. The place is so huge and spacious. It is one of those places where you can pick a spot and enjoy a long private conversation as you savor the food. The dessert was also finely made. Vegan burger was the show stealer! It has the right flavors and felt lije the real thing. Was pretty filling too. Had great time.

    Took my team out to lunch True Food Kitchen was absolutely amazing. Ambiance very clean and hip. Staff was great friendly and attentive. Now the food DAMN it was delicious I ordered the kale salad with grilled salmon and it definitely hit. Good portions. We ordered a couple of appetizers the Brussel spouts and cauliflower I could have eaten those as my entry they were so yummy. Definitely coming back here. Everything was fantastic. Little pricey but worth it. Parking is a little tough as it is located in a shopping center overall A plus.

    Rancher's Hash + Kids Pasta
    Rebecca L.

    My family and I really enjoyed Sunday brunch at True Food Kitchen. The space is bright and comfortable, and the service was friendly and attentive. There are plenty of fresh, healthy options to choose from on the menu. I had the Rancher's Hash, which was tasty, and my little one loved the kids' tomato pasta--simple and just the way he likes it. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking to eat clean and still enjoy a satisfying meal.

    Sad veggie burger.
    Alison S.

    Disappointed. I order the same thing every time I come here. This weekend I didn't have time to go in to eat, order thru Uber Eats and my food was not what I ordered the "veggie double cheeseburger" was missing the topping and only had one patty. The Frieda were soggy. For a $32 delivery this was no what I envisioned. Do they slack when you order take out? This has not been my experience when dining in

    Grass fed burger, side salad
    Ki R.

    My wife has been here a few times. This was my first time coming here. I like the overall space, the food, and the service. There so many healthier choices for us to try. Everything is made fresh to order. There are many options or substitutions that can be made too for special diet needs or restrictions. There are plenty of drink or specialized spritzers and non-soda(s) as they do not sell. The food and drinks come out timely. The service is great and the servers make their own drinks, there is no one bar tender or bar-back. Again the food is on the healthier side no grease, sat/fats or transfats. I believe pure olive oil is used for all their dressings, sandwiches, vegetables and meats. You must try to appreciate. Enjoy!

    Dine LA Restaurant Week Menu
    Jenn W.

    Came her for two reasons: Restaurant Week and heard a lot about this place as one of the few that doesn't cut corners and gives you food made in house with healthier options and ethicallly sourced. Hard to do in this day age. Location: On PCH and Rosecrans in Manhattan Beach in the North Point shopping center. Food:Edamame dumplings were surprisingly tasty without drowning in oils or bland. Wasn't a fan of the mush interior, but I couldn't expect much from beans. Jumbalaya pasta with sausage. This was spicy with a slight kick, but not enough to make me stop eating it. This was a big plate although it didn't look it and I ended up taking the other 1/2 of it home with me. The flourless chocolate cake. I wouldn't call this a cake so much as a brownie with a dollop of ice cream on top. The cake was so thick and fudgey, I kept looking at it to make sure it was a cake and not substituted with something else on the menu. Still, good and satisfied my sweet tooth. Summary: This is a fusion American interpretive cuisine kind of plalce so don't expect authentic anything with the non-American dishes. What you can expect is house made and ethically sourced ingredients made to order, not frozen (I hope). Everything is light in oil and not as greasy as most places. Does that take away from the flavor? No, not reallly, just healthier. The service was excellent and they will gladly make substitutions for your allergies and preferences. The ambiance is bright, airy with plenty of space. And, yes, they do serve alcohol including their own cocktails. If you're used to heavy oils ,salt, grease and dishes drowning in butter, you won't find that here and others may think these dishes are tasteless. But for those who still want to go out, but not feel too guilty about doing so, this is your place. Is it pricey? I would venture to say come here when you want to splurge and want a smorgasbord of tastes on a healthier side.Happy eating!!

    Grass-fed Burger
    Lora B.

    Had a quick lunch and was craving a burger, but high quality with healthier options. The Grass-fed Burger was so good. It was served hot and juicy, with a very delicious side of kale salad. I also tried the O.G fresh juice, made with ginger, honey, and lemon. I wasn't expecting it to be carbonated, but it was still good. It wasn't busy when I arrived, so there was plenty of seating and service was great.

    The Baseline: For an eclectic dining experience, the food offerings must be of quality for the variety offered, the seasoning/flavors must be special, the side dish offering must make sense with the other items, and the menu must be manageable. Food: Used the August 2025 brunch menu and had some new things. Ranchers Hash was good- great steak, great sauce, good veggies, and sweet potatoes was the base starch. I ended up wanting regular potatoes over the sweet potatoes (and I understand the sweet potatoes are the healthier option), but I will chalk that up to personal preference. Farmer's Market Scramble was also good but it suffered from the sweet potatoes verses potato battle with my group (potato wins for preference). The scrabbled eggs were silky, smooth and delicious and the cheddar added to the dish. The Lemon Blueberry Muffins were awesome and were a great ender desert for the meal. I also had an Iced Shakerato which was a great mid-afternoon coffee fix. Service: We had a good waiter and was attentive. All water glasses were kept full once we got them. Ambiance: Very nice and comfortable when we came in for a late lunch. Well lit and the temperature was comfortable. Clean spaces all around.

    Wonderful customer service by Amy! The food was so good , delicious, affordable and healthy- everything I needed . The cocktail is 3$ off on the Happy Hour. The restaurant is modern and beautiful. An amazing atmosphere..

    Wild-Caught Tuna Poke Bowl, GF
    Michelle K.

    Food delicious The poke bowl a little on the small side Everything delicious forgot to take pictures of the edamame dumplings, which was super good and I didn't take a picture of the Horchata Matcha, which was delicious. Definitely getting that again. Staff is super friendly good option for big groups. Lots of table space inside and out cool laid-back vibe.

It can get pretty pricey depending on what you order, but everything we had was delicious.

Our reservation wasn't until 8:30, so we hung out downstairs for about an hour first. Met a lot of people who were clearly locals and regulars, which always says a lot about a spot. Once we sat down for dinner, we ordered a few things. The bluefin tostadas are a must if you're into seafood. We also had the scallops delicious doesn't even do them justice, just wish there was more than one . My hubby ordered the lamb, which was probably our least favorite since it was a bit dry. The rigatoni though? Unbelievably good. Honestly, I'd come back and order the exact same items minus the lamb lol. Shoutout to Griffin for keeping us going all night . And the buttermilk bread? So good I almost cried. Parking is pretty easy, but definitely come early on a nice day. There are a couple of metered lots nearby with up to 5-hour parking. Fridays they've got a DJ after 9:30 PM... how swayyy See you next time!

    Server Álvaro is an actual SAINT at Saint & Second!…read more I want to start by clarifying that I went to S&S yesterday afternoon ready to cry major boo-hoo tears to my two besties, without much of an appetite. Instead, I ended up with a full belly and side cramps from laughing along with our awesome server, Alvaro. The Man. The Myth. The Legend that he is! Small Backstory: Last Friday I lost my job of almost 25 years in public education due to a complicated work accident (my back was broken & I now have screws in my spine) and I planned to whine to my best friends into a cocktail or two, and get out plenty of Kim Kardashian ugly-cry faces until it would be time to go home. Enter ALVARO! This kind man had the nerve to be polite to us! The nerve! LOL. He greeted us with a warm smile while my cold heart was practically making it snow. He explained all portions of the breathtaking menu when I had planed to eat my sadness. He even had the GALL to say if we wanted something not on the menu that he would see what he could do to make it happen! Here I was, ready to drink Unicorn Tears, and he was cheering me up! WHAT THE??! LOL The three is us started with the MEZZE PLATE. And OH LORD! I think we ate the print off of the plates while trying to get to the last crumb. We polished off a whole extra serving of cucumber slices in the process, by the way, and I'm not embarrassed to say that. The Turkish honey-sweetened labne was such a party in our mouths! Make of that what you will. Each of us got a dinner entre, with mine being the S&S Fish and Chips. I loved that the fillet was not overly battered and the chips had an almost double-Belgium fried taste going on. I couldn't help but swipe several spoons worth of aged-cheddar grits off a friend's seared pork chop plate. Now THOSE were some butter-heaven sent grits! My drink, that kept shooting partially through my nostrils from laughter, was a classic margarita on the rocks. No margaritas were injured/harmed in the process of my belly laughter. At some point towards the end of our night, a patron of the mall next door pulled the site-wide fire alarm, ringing through the whole location for everyone to use caution and head to the closest exit. If you grew up like my friends and I, you don't follow that suggestion unless you're trying to run out on the bill like a jerk. Bless be to Alvaro, he stopped by our table several times to apologize about the noise and flashing lights and explained the fire department was working on it. I explained that the Hood Cricket sound didn't bother us and we were happy to wait out the alarm. So not only did Alvaro provide us with excellent service, an outstanding meal, and generous smiles, but he also made sure that we felt SEEN. And THAT is what made the whole evening worth it. No sadness or cringey tears about a lost job were needed. It ends up all we needed was a server named Alvaro at Saint & Second to make my spirits feel high again. Pricing is a bit high but was totally worth it! Patrons were dressed business casual. Sound level, not counting the hood cricket, was mid and conversation was easy to have. Several televisions were playing different stations but no captions were provided. There is handicap parking available in the parking garage located just outside the front door of the establishment and no stairs or elevators are needed to enter. There are several entrances/exits to the available outdoor seating area and outdoor heaters are available. Glances around showed me that every patron I saw was tucking into their plates with smiles and were enjoying themselves. I have already made plans to return to S&S in another two weeks because it was indeed THAT GOOD! And for those fine diners that are wondering, "But what is a Hood Cricket?" An HC is a chirping fire-alarm that some of us are able to tune out with ease. You're welcome!

We like the attentiveness and care of all the service staff. The burger here is amazing. I definitely recommend it. The calamari was also good and the pork belly was not bad. The bone marrow was kind of disappointing. It had a sour taste and the portion was quite small for the $33 price tag. They had a very nice bar area with a cool seating area.

    We were in town to celebrate our twins' 25th birthdays and my daughter recommended Nick's. We had a…read morefantastic experience start to finish. The hosts up front were friendly and personable. Our server, Raquel, was lovely and on top of things. I had what I think is the best Mai Tai I've ever had, even while in Hawaii! Just delicious. We enjoyed the fried asparagus and bacon deviled eggs as our appetizer. The buttermilk fried chicken, crispy chicken sandwich and the ribeye melt were really good, but I am STILL thinking about how incredible Cha Cha's Spicy Rigatoni was. So incredibly creamy, and full of flavor, with just the right amount of heat. My daughter orders this every time it's on a menu, and this is by far the best I've ever tasted. SO good. We had mentioned we were celebrating our twins' birthday, and they were served two lovely pieces of chocolate cake with a candle, AND a card for each of them signed by the staff. Never have I experienced that before for a birthday in a restaurant! Just a great touch. I am SO glad my daughter suggested we go here, and every time we're in town we will return. Cannot recommend it enough!!!!

    Jame is one of those places where you start noticing the details--and then realize everything is…read moredialed in. First, the handmade pasta. This isn't just "al dente." There's a real chew here--a springy, structured bite that gives just enough resistance before yielding. It's deeply satisfying and makes every dish feel more intentional. The cappelloni shows it off best: that almost-famous sauce wraps around each piece, but the pasta holds its own, so you get that perfect balance of silky and structured. Same with the tangiello--the meat sauce tastes like it's been simmering for days, rich and layered, but the noodles never get lost because that chew carries through. The Caesar isn't an afterthought either. It's got a subtle spicy kick that wakes everything up, and if you add chicken, it's done right--well-seasoned, nicely grilled, juicy with a bit of char. It turns a classic into something you actually remember. Dinner is where things go a little heartier, and the pork chop delivers. Fall-off-the-bone tender, but still full of flavor--not just soft for the sake of it. Jame just gets the fundamentals right, then pushes a little further. Thoughtful, textured, and the kind of place where even the chew of the pasta becomes part of the experience.

    I visited this restaurant yesterday with family during lunch. The food here was very good…read more The meatballs I had as an appetizer were light, not dense. The sauce was well balanced and wispy. I usually don't like olives, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the olives here. I think it had to do with the fact that these olives were marinated, not brined. I don't like briny stuff. The Tonnarelli was the highlight of the meal. The sauce was thick and creamy, and coated the pasta nicely. The pasta was cooked al dente, making it perfectly firm and chewy. For my drink, I had the Light and Stormy mocktail which had lemon, ginger, lime, and mint in it. It was slightly carbonated and tasted like a really good virgin mojito. I would say the service here was good, not great. It took like 10 minutes for a server to come to us after we were seated to take our order. However, our server was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu items. Parking here was tricky. There were lots of reserved parking spaces on the lot for specific businesses. You may get lucky finding an open parking spot on site, but we had to drive around to find one. This place is a nice spot for family gatherings. I think we will be back soon to try out more items from the menu.

    Stopped by BrewCo Manhattan Beach for their lunch special and had a really nice experience overall…read more We ordered the chicken pot pie, roasted cauliflower, and the Smash Burger Americana with onion rings. The roasted cauliflower was hands down the best part of the meal. It was seasoned so well and honestly addictive. I could not get enough of it. The chicken pot pie came out piping hot and was really good, super comforting and flavorful. My only small wish is that it had pastry on the bottom too, since it would have soaked up all the juices. The burger was fine but nothing special. I think it could have used some lettuce and tomato to help tie everything together. The onion rings were solid. Service was good and it was not too crowded for lunch, which made it a relaxed and enjoyable place to sit and eat.
