    The menu from True Food Kitchen includes sections for starters, salads, bowls, add protein, sourdough pizzas, dip it, entrées, and sides. It lists dishes such as edamame dumplings, Korean noodle bowl, chicken parmesan, and seasonal roasted butternut squash pizza, with prices and descriptions. The menu emphasizes organic, sustainable ingredients and offers vegan and gluten-free options. It features a promotional section for True Crisp'd fried chicken and air-fried French fries, along with a footer highlighting the restaurant's commitment to healthy, planet-friendly food.

    I was so excited to try this place, only to be a bit disappointed. The location is beautiful inside and creates excitement about the experience you're going to have. We walked in around 10:30 in the morning and it was pretty calm. I expected for it to be packed, no! We were seated immediately. As we looked over the menu, we were greeted by our server. She was sweet, but she seemed clueless concerning what was good or how to make us believe a dish was good. Unfortunately she lacked people skills . We ordered what we assumed was good and honestly, it was good, but it wasn't memorable. I don't even remember what I ate. The special made drinks were very good! I would go back for those, but the food is a no no for me!

    I love that they have so many fresh and healthy options here. I had the pink dragonfruit lemonade and the poke bowl and my husband had the korean noodles. Both were delicious! The servings aren't huge but that's why it's healthy haha. It's a well designed space too, modern and organic feeling. Service was quick too. Recommend!

    Been meaning to try this farm to table restaurant. We were out in Oak Brook to hike some of the preserves with our pup and needed to return an item at retailer located near True Kitchen. I called and they have a dog friendly patio. We made a reservation and table was ready as reserved. We sat outside under a nice umbrella. The day was perfect. We were served by Alivia and she was so friendly and welcoming. Our dog even fell in love with her warm demeanor. We started out with drinks. My husband grabbed juice based non-alcoholic refresher before moving on to smoky old fashion. I grabbed the passionfruit margarita but asked for it to be spicy. The drink presented well but the rim was so salty and the tequila was not plentiful. My husband enjoyed his old fashion. For brunch I had the rancher's hash and it was delicious. I had the eggs cooked over-hard and nothing to complain about on this breakfast. The only thing is that the dish came with sourdough toast and the bread was so hard and had no butter. I should asked for some butter but I was hungry so I ate it. We also grabbed chicken tenders (air fryer) with the slaw to go. The slaw was good and the tenders were okay but I think they were slightly burnt so they were very dry. All in all this was a positive dining experience. I would come back for that breakfast hash and to try other dishes. It is nice to have fresh made foods. The veggies, the cheese and even the salsa were delicious and custom.

The table also holds a fork and knife on a brown napkin, with a glass of yellow beverage and sunglasses in the background. The setting appears to be a restaurant or cafe.

    If you're looking for clean eating, this is a place for you. The entire menu is made fresh in house. Started the visit off with a drink called the hangover RX. This was a necessary drink. It has coconut water and a few other juices. They are all fresh squeezed. . The burger was cooked great and didn't give me a heavy feeling that I usually get. A+

    Really cute place to stop and grab a bite to eat. The service was great and it was very clean with nice decor. We tried the pizza and the burger. The seasonal pizza was tasty and had great flavor. Ample Topping and cheese. It was a nice portion size. The crust was a little hard to chew but the flavor of the pizza made up for it. It was nice if you like fresh and unique pizzas!! The burger was our favorite thing we ordered. It was juicy and all the topping and condiments worked well together. The salad was also fresh and had a nice dressing. Overall pricy, but the quality was there and we enjoyed our food!!!!

    Mediocre food at an expensive price. I just don't understand why it has all these great ratings. I left hungry because of the small portions. I wasn't impressed by the service either and don't care to return.

    Came here for Sunday brunch to celebrate Father's Day and glad I made a reservation because when we arrived, the place was absolutely packed to the gills We got a great little booth and the server was absolutely fantastic and super friendly We ordered just a handful of dishes and everything was super tasty to our surprise quite frankly. Our group definitely sometimes thinks that healthy is not necessarily tasty and that fresh is sometimes a little too clean however, this place did not disappoint and everything from drinks, which I forgot to take a picture of of cocktails, as well as the fancy coffees, the food were delicious. This is definitely a must stop again and clearly on the weekend the reservation is needed I think this is a great addition to the mall. The pricing is very fair considering the other food options.

    First time to this place certainly not last. The food tasted TRUE!! It was fresh, clean and tasty. You may need little extra salt though. We got Sourdough cord flat bread it was 4/5. Little more corn and cream would be good. Noodle salad4/5 Mac n cheese 4/5 lacked salt. Drink 5/5. Serve 10-10 her name was Erin and she was super sweet and helpful. I requested to ask about options without ginger and garlic and she quickly went ahead to check with the chef. When she returned to the table she had a note in her hand with all the things written, I was really impressed with her diligence and willingness. Recommend this place for healthy and clean eating options. Will go back soon.

    i was totally in my element here. i love local, seasonal, and organic food and i'm always excited to find places that share those values. the poke bowl was INSSSAAANE - so delicious. the kale aid was good too, the perfect amount of sweet and peppery..

    Breakfast Tacos
    Kristen D.

    Delightful brunch! I really loved the Rancher's hash that had this really flavorful braised beef, potatoes, eggs, avocado, tomatoes, and this great salsa on it. Highly recommend. My friend really enjoyed her breakfast tacos also.

So make sure you're paying close attention to your GPS when you're heading there. The good news is it's located in a mall area, so there's plenty of parking, which makes it very convenient. The atmosphere is not overly upscale, but it definitely still gives fine dining energy. The low lighting creates a more intimate vibe, making it a great place for a date night, dinner with friends, or even a relaxed evening meal. The food is consistently good, and the drinks are always on point. This time I ordered the baby back ribs with mashed potatoes, and it was my first time trying that dish there. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone good, and the mashed potatoes were a perfect pairing. My friend ordered the pork chop, butterflied and cut open, and she said it was simply amazing. Now let me get to the real reason I keep coming back. The carrot cake. I have had carrot cake from big-name bakeries and small local mom-and-pop spots, and I'm telling you right now, J. Alexander's has the best carrot cake in the world. If anyone wants to debate that, please let me know where I should go try another slice... or better yet, buy me one so we can compare! Because of that carrot cake alone, J. Alexander's will always be in my Top 10. So yes, the food is good, the drinks are great, the atmosphere is nice...

We arrived on a Friday night just before 9:00 PM and had no trouble finding street parking--always a win. We were greeted by our waitress, Jennifer, who was absolutely amazing. She let us know about their late-night perk: half-price small plates and select drinks on Fridays and Saturdays from 9 PM until close, which is such a great incentive for heading out later in the evening. Jennifer was attentive without being intrusive--our water glasses were always full, she checked in after every course, and her recommendations for both food and drinks were spot-on. We started with a Mad Rose for V and a Chameleon for me. Both cocktails were delicious, and after finishing his Mad Rose, V definitely felt the celebratory spirit kicking in. For appetizers, we shared the Vietnamese Summer Rolls and Sweet Chili Calamari. The summer rolls were light, fresh, and nicely accented with mint. The calamari was sweet with a surprisingly spicy finish--delicious, though the heat was just a bit much for V. I'd happily order both again. For my main course, I had the Wagyu Beef Stroganoff, and wow--hands down the best stroganoff I've ever had. The beef was incredibly tender, and the sauce was perfectly balanced with the noodles. It even paired beautifully with my Chameleon, with subtle lemon notes that complemented each other surprisingly well. V ordered the Tomahawk Pork Chop, cooked medium well and absolutely perfect. He loved every bite. It came with a risotto that he enjoyed, even if it wasn't the standout of the dish. Dessert sealed the deal. We finished with Sandy's White Wine Cake--which reminded me of a carrot cake in the best way--and the Banana Cream Pie, which was easily the best banana cream pie I've ever had. Truly a WOW moment. Between the excellent food, thoughtful service, and great late-night specials, Entourage made V's birthday celebration one to remember. We'll definitely be back.

We booked a 5:30 p.m. reservation on a weekend and we didn't realize that this place had a really really long line when it came to check again. We booked a reservation online and we assume that our reservation automatically started at set time but really it truly doesn't matter what time your reservation is because you could just show up whenever you want it doesn't mean you automatically start playing at the time you reserve. You more so just book everything in advance and just save yourself a few minutes. The waiting is really long as if you're waiting for your favorite ride at an amusement park but the line is an hour long. There's four different courses in each one is nine holes. I will say that the courses were really fun and is a unique spin on how to play mini golf which is way more entertaining than LIV golf. Sadly I lost but I had fun. The price point just to play is truly pretty fair for what it was worth. Right after booking our golf reservations we tried booking our dinner reservations as well but that turned into a big issue which made us call them to try to make us redo our reservation to dine in and when we were done playing the mini golf we had an issue trying to get our seat but it looked like my name was spelled wrong and I caught it when I noticed on her tablet which was corrected. Dining was a pretty good experience just because the server came up immediately after we were seated we couldn't even look at the drink menu but thankfully he was very friendly. They have vegan options for my wife which was the main reason why we dined in. Food was pricey, I did enjoy their non-alcoholic drinks but if I were to come back here, I might just come back on a weekday where is probably a bit more quiet and less hectic.
