Went in for an afternoon drink and quick bite. The bartender was very nice and we loved his honesty! If he didn't know something, he said "I'm not sure, but I'll find out!" The place was fun and modern, not too busy for an afternoon crowd. I loved the open kitchen so you could see what was going on and they are very accommodating if you have gluten or vegan concerns. read more

The 3 stars is so the general company does not suffer for the sins of one. If you are True Food fan please do yourself a favor and go a different location. The Quarter location just keeps failing. We have tried to go this location twice; one time we didn't even eat. Today's experience: service was ok, though I could not tell you our waitress's name. I ordered the watermelon salad (which is listed as an appetizer) dressing on the side. Salad comes out, it's SWIMMING in dressing. No, I did not sent it back. The waitress either did not hear my special request or did not notice my order being incorrect. The salad it's self, to me was rather salty. I know I am sensitive to salt, hence the dressing on the side request. But this really was quite salty. That being said, I ate the entire salad. The second issue was, the restroom was filthy. The toilet paper distributors were empty with rolls of paper on the floor. The toilet seat protectors were empty. At a restaurant in Scottsdale that charges $20 for a salad, this is such a disappointment. If you are a True food fan, do yourself a favor, skip this location! read more

Great place for a date night! The place was clean with a beautiful setup, TVs, and a cool bar. The service was great too. Our server was Sam, and she was so nice and really helpful. She helped me find a great meal based on her recommendation. I ordered the Korean Noodle Bowl with glass noodles, pickled shiitake, organic spinach, carrots, and bean sprouts. Please try this because you will not be disappointed! It was delicious and had so much flavor. They also have lots of healthy choices. I wanted to try their vegan burger too, but I'll save that for next time. I'll definitely be back! read more

We sat on the patio on a rather warm night and the misters were not working or maybe not turned on. It's restaurant week and they have a great menu for it except they only offer one choice for dessert. I ordered an American Burger with kale salad. Two in my party ordered from the restaurant week menu, so I also had some guacamole (excellent), and hummus (also excellent). I loved the kale salad and my burger was as ordered (no pink). Our waiter was a little slow (my water didn't get filled for some time) but definitely friendly. Going to have to eat inside next time the weather is over 95, so I can enjoy my meal. It's too hot to eat much late in the evening. That's not their fault, though!! read more

This place is interesting. It looks like it tries to blend in with nature. The windows and colors are very vibrant. There are a lot of staff there but not readily available. The charred cauliflowers was incredible! The flavor bursts in your mouth in every bite. The fries were okay could be a lot more crispy especially since they are supposedly air fried. The hamburger was good. The curry bowl with black rice and veggies was creamy with a hint of spice and the veggies were cooked perfectly. It think I would try this place again just for the food maybe as take out. read more

True Food Kitchen is located in the heart of the fashionable Scottsdale Quarter outdoor mall. I love how parking is free here. I really like how True Food Kitchen partners with companies like AZ Restaurant Week and InKind to give us customers good deals. I participated in their restaurant week deal which got me an edamame dumplings, grass-fed burger, and a small flourless chocolate cake. This cost me $39.64 (includes tax and tip). I would say that the service was fairly lackadaisical. The food itself was above average fare. My favorite was the grass fed burger as the arugula complimented the burger very well. I wasn't quite sure what was inside the edamame dumplings; it didn't taste like edamame to me and I wish there was more of it. read more

Food: The tuna poke bowl was my favorite! It had amazing flavor and the tuna was so fresh! However, I wasn't a fan of their pizza. The margherita pizza didn't have a fluffy, pillowy crust and was more on the harder side. The flavor was also average and the cheese wasn't melted enough. Service: Very friendly staff. Atmosphere: Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and the ambiance of perfect for any occasion. Also suitable for big parties and kid friendly. read more

This was our first visit to the Scottsdale location. It's located at the Scottsdale Quarter, so there is a lot of shopping and a splash pad just right outside the restaurant. I ordered the chicken tenders and a side of mashed potatoes, and my hubby ordered the chicken parm. Everything was good but lacked seasoning. Our service was good, and we enjoyed our evening out with family. We ended up walking around the quarter after dinner. read more

We went for brunch on a Sunday morning. The patio is great and reservations were easy. The muffin was fantastic and you can order just one which is great. The avocado toast had so much chili oil and peppers it was difficult to eat. The bowl was missing something. Between the soft eggs and so much dill yogurt sauce the dish was a mouthful of cold mush. It needed something like Farro. Great service and great patio. Pretty disappointed in the food. read more

True Food Kitchen - Edamame dumplings - New American Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I love coming here and treating myself every once in awhile, it's usually when I am close by for a color and cut and then will take myself here for lunch afterwards. I came in here for a late lunch and they have happy hour when I stopped in. Their happy hour is very limited now which is a bummer but the food is quite good if you like clean eating. I had an OG drink which is a non alcoholic fresh ginger honey and soda drink. This was a bit too sweet for me and could have used a side of seltzer with this but the taste was very good. I love their edamame dumplings so I had an order of that today and for happy hour, it's $2 off. I also had their charred cauliflower, I love cruciferous veggies and this had tahini drizzled on top, and with some dates too. Flavor was soo good! I also love that each dish has the calorie count next to it , so you know what you are getting into it! Overall, my meal came to about 700 calories! Sweet! I enjoyed my late lunch here and always love coming here even if maybe others don't like this place. More for me! Yea! read more

8/10 Ordered the Steak Frites and the steak unfortunately came out undercooked I asked for medium rare and it was definitely rare. Nice char, but under-seasoned along with the fries. The peppercorn sauce wasn't my favorite, but I did appreciate that they served it on the side. 7/10 Also tried the Margherita Pizza, and that was the saving grace. Absolutely delicious and definitely something I'd recommend. 8.5/10 What I did love: the quality of ingredients and the way everything is prepared. The fries were air-fried, and they list all the ingredients and macros, which I'm obsessed with it feels like how I'd cook at home... just needs a little more seasoning lol. Service was fast and efficient. Our server was friendly and gave great recommendations that hit the spot. Ambiance is chill and date-friendly, and you can even see into the kitchen which is super cool. read more

The seasonal menu is fabulous! I had the Peri Peri chicken skewers, passionfruit mango margarita, and the raspberry peach cobbler and they were all soooooo good. The chicken was my favorite.

The restaurant is committed to healthy ingredients but the food was simply not very good. It was fairly expensive when you consider the small portions and mediocre food quality. The table service was good and serving staff was friendly, and the restaurant is located in a nice area of the outdoor mall. They just need better food! read more

Kennedy, checked me in on a Saturday around lunch. It was busy, suggest making RESERVATIONS! Kennedy was super nice and accommodating. 15+ minute wait, not bad considering. That is why I suggest making Reservations! Sage is our Server, she is very cordial and very accommodating. I ordered the Butternut Squash Soup and Chicken Tenders with a Green Lettuce Salad. Very Busy! read more

Delicious food, spacious restaurant, friendly waiter, overall a great visit. Went with my mom for her birthday lunch and it was both our first time there. I love all of the options, truly something for everyone. I opted for the turkey burger and air fried French fries, and seasonal lemonade. Everything was so so good. I wish I lived closer to a true food, I would be here all the time! But we were just spending a few hours at the mall. But I'm sure I will be back again :) read more

Amy was an amazing server! She went above and beyond! Highly recommend the sourdough and whipped eggplant starter we'll definitely be back!

Service was great! Great place to stop by for a bite to eat while shopping. Food was ok. It's a bit over priced. Ordered kids chicken tenders and it was ok. Breading is a little too flaky for my kid, I do understand that every kid is different. For my kid, she doesn't like the flaky kind. Ordered the kale salad and added protein. This ended up being a $30 dish for lunch and I do not feel like it met my expectations for a $30 salad. Same with the all American burger. Small and overpriced. Could have gone somewhere else for a burger that was not over charging. read more

We came on a Monday afternoon around 12 and it was pretty empty. There was lots of parking because it was in a shopping center. The server was very nice and gave us suggestions because it was some of our first times here. We ordered Brussels sprouts for appetizer and they were good. The sauce was yummy and there were some small mushrooms. I ordered the Korean noodle bowl as well and it was delicious. The food was good and the portion was good. It was very nice inside also and had indoors/outdoor seating. read more

Another wonderful visit to true food kitchen. Tried the brussel sprouts, ancient grains bowl, spaghetti squash and flour less chocolate cake. All of the dishes were so good! The brussel sprouts were full of flavor as was the bowl. Spaghetti squash was warm and comforting without being too heavy. The chocolate cake stole the show! Everyone in the group loved all the food and our service was top notch. read more

Such a great luck spot! My mom, sister, and I came here for a nice lunch during our shopping day. When we tried to go at 12:30 there was a 20 minute wait- which was not bad, but if you don't want to wait I would definitely recommend making a reservation. We were able to sit outside which was perfect. They had light heaters running to make sure everyone was comfortable. Our waiter was nice, but not the most attentive. It took a very long time to get our waters and our check at the end. It was ok given the business of the restaurant. My sister and I both got the teriyaki rice bowl and my mom got the grain bowl with added salmon. Both dishes were excellent. Adding protein on your dishes is an exponential added cost, but worth it in my opinion. Overall this is a really great place in one of my favorite shopping places! read more

Service is always great here and folks that sit at the bar are friendly. The good today was less ending than usual. The charred cauliflower wasn't very charred. Very soft and didn't love the sauce it was in. The guac was ok. I would have enjoyed chunkier. It was better with lime juice added. I substituted soft gluten free bread instead of lavish crackers. The bar was the best part of my meal. For $30+ I would choose differently next time. I still give it 4 stars as toast was an anomaly and other food dishes are generally great. I souls have home with edamame potstickers. The truffle is amazing. I did see some crudité bowls go out with things. I wish they would bring the crudités appetizer and sauces back. read more

We came on a Sunday right when they opened and were immediately seated and ordered drinks. Unfortunately drinks were disappointing. Pass on the rose sangria. The watermelon mojito was ok. The best thing we ordered was the cheese pizza for our daughter. That was delicious! Unfortunately my Chinese chicken salad left a lot to be desired. And my husband ordered the #1 item the beef burger and it was just ok as well. He got his with fries and again totally underwhelming. $100 for two drinks, two entrees and a kids pizza. Location is great. Misters are great. They even lowered the shades for us which was nice. But service felt awkward. Our waitress wasn't super friendly, attentive or knowledgeable. Most likely won't be returning. read more

Every time I've come here I've felt very catered to. I think this is one of my favorite restaurants because there is such an intentional focus on the entire environment, like their branded and soft napkins, eco friendly straws, and an emphasis on sustainability in all regards. One waitress I wanted to give a shoutout to was Olivia, who I had spoken with in passing when I did a to-go order, but I was able to get a better understanding of her personality when she waited on my table. She was really sweet and attentive. As for the food, I ordered a cranberry spritz (seasonal) and the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. The person I was with got their Asian wild -caught shrimp, which they enjoyed because of its diverse palette. Everything was great across the board and I love when good restaurants make me take home leftovers and I have another day to enjoy it. I tell most everyone I know about TrueFood, so you know I'll be returning :). read more

We used to love true food. But the service has consistently been lacking. And the last time we dined there was a long hair in my dish. By the time the staff came around so that I could show them, the rest of my party had finished their food and I'd lost my appetite. They offered a dessert, but after having seen that hair, we politely declined. The place is centrally located inside of the Quarter and has a nice ambiance overall. read more

What a great place! The moment we walked in, we were greeted and seated. Our sever came over very quickly to greet us and brought us water. I was here with my daughter and one of her best friends. We came over after a nice morning of making lipstick. This was our first time and the server was patient giving us time to look over the menu. She was super friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and gave us some great choices. What we ordered was Spaghetti Squash Casserole, Turkey Burger and Pesto Pasta. Everything was so delicious. I highly recommend them if you're looking for healthy, clean ingredient food. You can't go wrong here. read more

Just okay. We were really looking forward to it but our dishes weren't very impressive. Lacked flavor- the spicy tofu bowl wasn't spicy or flavorful and my husband's steak ranchero brunch item was too chewy. Service was good but I didn't get the impression that they liked their food either. It was a little warm in the restaurant compared to all of the other nearby shops. Unfortunate. read more

A friend I hadn't seen in quite some time recently suggested we dine here and catch up. Since I hadn't dined in at a True Food restaurant for a few years now I said why not. On this visit we decided to start with the edamame dumplings and the Mediterranean hummus to share. The edamame dumplings were as we remembered, the truffle oil was subtle and not overpowering. The hummus was good, had a nice zest of spice to it, the accompanying flatbread was a bit hard for our preferences. For our main entrees, we decided to order one ancient grain bowl and two orders of the grass-fed burger with a side of kale salad and sweet potato hash. The grass-fed burger was cooked to medium rare perfection. It wasn't soggy, too salty or overwhelming. The two sides also balanced each other well, a nice combination of sweet, sour, and savory. Overall, the service was warm, friendly and attentive. Our server Hayley was fantastic! Since the decision to dine here was kind of last minute, we weren't able to make reservations ahead of time. There was about a twenty-five-minute wait when we went for lunch on a Friday afternoon, so I highly recommend making reservations since this restaurant is in a prime area. One thing I liked about this location is that they have ample seating options both indoors and outdoors. read more

Delicious spot located in the heart of Scottsdale Quarter. Have been here a few times and have always enjoyed it. You can definitely taste the quality of the meals at True Food! They have a good menu with a ton of variety on it. Portions are good sizes too. Since you're in Scottsdale, it is a little pricey. They do have a good happy hour though! Recently, I had their Jambalaya Pasta and it was excellent. Paired it with a Spicy Mango Margherita that had the perfect kick to it. Very good! Sitting on the patio gives a great option for people watching and enjoying the ambiance of the plaza. If you're in the area and looking for a healthier option, I'd give True Food a try! read more

This is a clean eating type of restaurant! Includes healthy choices such as salads, grass fed burgers, and poki bowls. We sat outside in 90 degree weather and the misters cooled us off!

My 7 year old daughter and I ordered then my daughter asked about the dessert menu and told the waitress it's her birthday, we always go there for her birthday. The waitress said she would bring her a dessert for her birthday but never did so my daughter inquired and she said she would have to buy one. Weirdest experience ever! There was no room for us to have misunderstood but who tells a kid they can have dessert then changes their mind. I had to take care of it because I try not to disappoint my kid. I just think that was a mean thing to do. Also, my oriental chicken salad that claims to have chicken had literally one bite and a speck of chicken. Tried to reach the manager instead of posting here but our experience is really bad which is disappointing since it's our favorite place. read more

I ordered a teriyaki bowl. First with steak and it was inedible. It seemed like it was boiled. I returned the item and ordered shrimp teriyaki and the shrimp was a boil in bag style with no flavor and a spongy texture from being frozen. Im not sure what happened to the food. This used to be a favorite. read more

I am disappointed and I had such high hopes because I've been a long time lover of True Food. I heavily support the healthier mission and love the extensive gluten free options. We came for my sister's birthday which was noted in our reservation. The hostesses acknowledged this. Yet this information seemed to have been lost as after we finished our entrees the server set down our bill... we looked at her in confusion and said it was my sister's birthday and she had no idea. Once we picked out a dessert it took 15 minutes for it to arrive which was ironic because our food came out even faster. And there was no candle on it. There was a lack of communication once again and we had to ask the food runner to grab a candle, to which she then said the dessert would be taken off the bill (as if it wasn't going to be already). We wanted a great experience for my sister's birthday because she chose True Food herself but we were disappointed in the restaurant not properly celebrating her or making her feel special. The food - seems to have gone slightly downhill. We started with the seasonal butternut squash pizza on a gf crust and this was definitely as tasty as I remember from years ago. Sweet and savory, buttery, yum! I got the Asian shrimp and it was very beautifully presented and had a lot of shrimp but it needed salt - and I never say this for a meal. It had a milder ginger Asian taste to it, but the rice was cooked beautifully and the shrimp had a good smokiness to it. My dad got the gf buffalo chicken sandwich and said it was okay as the chicken was dry. He did love the butternut squash soup side and we all tried and agreed. Warming and comforting. My sister got the chicken Parmesan and we didn't notice until later but the server must've assumed everyone was gf when we are all not and gave her the gf penne not the Campanelle pasta it usually comes with.... I don't know if true food makes their own regular pasta but they definitely don't make their own gf pasta given it's the Typical penne so it was disappointing she didn't get her fresher regular pasta. Otherwise she enjoyed her meal and the chicken was a large portion. My mom got the teriyaki quinoa and enjoyed it, nice amount of veggies but also needed a touch of salt! We overall weren't super impressed and left saying it was "just good but could've been better ". I know true food prides itself on its service and unfortunately it missed the mark several times. It makes me reluctant to return which is sad given I have loved this place in the past read more
