    True Food Kitchen in Tucson is easily one of my favorite spots in the city. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance sets the tone--bright, modern, and really welcoming without feeling overly trendy. It's the kind of place you can go for a casual lunch or a nice dinner and it fits both perfectly. The food absolutely delivers. The edamame dumplings are incredible--light, packed with flavor, and the broth/sauce they come in takes them to another level. You can tell everything is made fresh, and it really shows in both the taste and presentation. Nothing feels heavy or overly processed. I was especially impressed with the burger and fries. The burger was cooked perfectly, juicy and flavorful, and the ingredients tasted high quality and well thought out. The fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and the perfect complement--simple but done right. What really made the experience stand out was the staff. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure we had a great time. Service was quick without feeling rushed, which is always a plus. Overall, this place nails it on all fronts--fresh, high-quality food, great service, and a really comfortable atmosphere. If you're in Tucson and want something that feels both healthy and indulgent at the same time, True Food Kitchen is definitely worth checking out. I'll absolutely be coming back.

    GREAT OVERALL FIRST VISIT. I hope for many more to come. My bestie was visiting in town and we decided to stop here for a bite to eat. I've heard about this place since it opened, but I had never been, what a great first visit to share with my bestie. The waitress was really great, I can't remember her name, but she was a brunette and she was super fun. Very helpful and bubbly. Our service overall was very quick, we got everything in a very timely manner and everything tastes fantastic. In the front lobby, we requested to sit outside, they were very accommodating and helpful, it didn't take much more time than we were already told we had to wait for. The outside patio was perfect, we had a great view of the sunset and it was nice to see The people walking around the plaza. Plus, the weather felt great. We decided to order a few things so that we could each try a bit of it, everything was super fantastic and flavored so well. I honestly can't find a single thing to complain about. We finished every last bit of what we had quite happily, and contently went home. I'm excited for my next visit.

    I came here on Friday after the moonglow yoga event with a group of five. I had another delicious meal with no complaints on service! Our server recommended a brussels sprout appetizer, and I think it was my favorite thing I had thing I had! I was so well balanced, and had so many flavors.. I love the cilantro addition. I also ordered the pesto lasagna and it didn't disappoint either. Everyone at the table, enjoyed their meals, except for my friend who ordered the shrimp entrée. I think she felt it could've been more flavorful... which is odd for all of the dishes I've had at this restaurant. Looking at the shrimp, it did seem pretty bare, but I'm thinking maybe it was meant to coincide with the flavors of the side that it came with. I don't know.. either way I enjoyed my meal :D Oh, I also got the Matcha Horchata drink . I love Horchata so I thought I would try it. I didn't taste too much Horchata as I think the Matcha had an overwhelming affect, but if you like matcha, you'll probably like that drink!

    I had such a great experience at True Food Kitchen. I ordered the edamame dumplings, a matcha, and the burger on a bagel bun, and everything was so fresh and flavorful. I also did the lunch special, which was a great value. The service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and timely without feeling rushed. I sat outside on the patio, and it was the perfect day to enjoy the atmosphere. Everything from the food to the vibe made it such an enjoyable lunch. True Food Kitchen always delivers on quality, but this visit really stood out. Definitely coming back

    Steak Frites*, GF

    We made a reservation for a party of 15 for tonight. They gave us an L shaped table which actually made it very easy to communicate to almost all of the guests. This place is very loud so it was nice not to be in the middle of the restaurant. The service was very good. It took a long time for the food to arrive but it is Friday night after all. I will never go back and here is the reason why. I ordered a simple meal, steak and fries with a side salad. My steak frites came super well done even though I ordered medium. I didn't even bother tasting it. I sent it back. A few minutes later they bring me another one and this one was medium well. I didn't bother sending it back. While the fries and the salad were good I was disappointed in my 42.00 dollar steak.

    I went to True Food Kitchen for an early dinner after hearing good things, and overall the experience landed as average. The ambience is one of the stronger points. The space feels modern, clean, and fresh, and the booth seating was comfortable. We went early, so it was not very busy, which made the environment relaxed and quiet. Parking is adequate, but it is not directly at the building. You do have to walk from the parking lot to the restaurant, which is worth noting for anyone with mobility concerns. Service was friendly but not very attentive. Our waitress was pleasant, but there was very little proactive check-in throughout the meal. For drinks, I ordered a spicy margarita. It was fine, but Tajín was not offered on the rim, which felt like a miss for a restaurant at this price point. I had to ask for it after the drink arrived. My friend ordered a pineapple seltzer, which tasted more like lightly flavored sparkling water than an actual pineapple drink. It was not very sweet and not especially memorable. We also ordered the air-fried french fries. While I generally like air-fried options because they are marketed as a lighter alternative, these were surprisingly oily. They come in a cone and are priced at $12, which already felt steep for what is essentially an air-fried potato. The fries came with a very small ramekin of sauce. When I asked for ketchup, the waitress said she could bring it, and then mentioned that ranch would be an extra dollar. At that point, paying an additional dollar for a tablespoon of ranch on top of a $12 side felt excessive. For entrées, we ordered the chicken parmesan and the Korean noodle bowl. Both were underwhelming. The chicken parmesan was overcooked, the noodles were barely warm, and the marinara lacked depth and flavor. The Korean noodle bowl was the better of the two. The chicken had more flavor, but even that dish did not stand out or feel particularly well executed. With a total bill just under $100 for two people, we both agreed the food and overall experience did not justify the cost. With so many dining options available, this is not a place we would choose to return to. Overall, the concept and atmosphere are appealing, but the service, food execution, and value fell short for us.

    Wild-Caught Tuna Poke Bowl
    Kristina K.

    I will never be able to get enough of True Food! It had been a while since I dined here, but I came back for my birthday and had a great experience! My group of three was seated right away. Our server was friendly, gave great recommendations, and was working hard with other tables and working at the bar. I ordered the tuna poke bowl and found the ingredients so fresh and unique. My friend spilled to our server that it was my birthday and she came back with the dessert menu saying it was on the house. We shared the flourless chocolate cake, which came with a candle it. I enjoyed the nice touch without the song and show of other restaurants. The cake itself was heavenly and the coconut ice cream that came with it was also delicious. I cannot wait to come back again, as there is still so much of the menu I want to try!

    My familyof 8 went there for dinner on New Year's Eve. It was a default but glad we went. They had availability which was surprising as most places were not available or had a special menu that night. In any event, we enjoyed our dinner. We were seated on the patio with a heater at one end of a long table with the other end at the outside edge of the patio (with a screen) so not all benefited from the heat. It wasn't unbearable, just chilly for some. The waiter was exceptional as was service. Everything was served in a timely manner and water was refreshed as needed. I had the American Burger with fries. Fries were a bit burnt and, in come cases soggy, but the burger was delicious and cooked the way I requested. One had the steak/frites and it looked really good and he liked it. One had the air-fried chicken tenders and said they had too much salt. A few had the pizza and the person having the chicken parm really liked it. Overall it was quite good and would go back.

    Plant-Based Double Cheeseburger, with Kale Salad
    Parker G.

    True Food Kitchen has decently tasty food that is very healthy & fresh...but meagerly portioned. I've been to True Food a few times in the past, as they also have locations in the Southern California area. My family is mostly vegan and we were stopping by La Encantada for the day - True Food is a great option for plant-based/vegan foods, so we stopped here for lunch. There's a lovely patio outside of it that we found a table on, and our server was very friendly and efficient with his service. I appreciated that there were shades they could bring down if there was sun in your face (which it so often is when it's low in the sky on winter afternoons). As for the food, we shared a Mediterranean Hummus Appetizer, and I also ordered the Plant-Based Double Cheeseburger in order to give it a try! The Hummus Appetizer was very fresh and had great quality hummus with some red pepper and other spices/seasonings in it. I would've preferred more normal slices of pita bread rather than the crunchy, baked flatbread pieces they have instead...but it's still good quality and flavorful to go with the hummus. I found the portion size a bit disappointing for the price, however, and we paid $2 extra to get more of the baked flatbread pieces since there were so few to enjoy the hummus with. The Plant-Based Double Cheeseburger was....decent, although the pale white color of the buns were a bit off-putting, and the burger was a tad bit bland when it came to seasoning/flavor. I would have to say that there's many other vegan burgers I've had in the past that I would much prefer over this one, especially for the $20 price tag. I got an espresso martini for my drink, and it was very well made with good flavor, strength, and the right mix of all the ingredients. Overall, True Food Kitchen is a solid option for healthier food, especially if you have a plant-based/vegan diet. It is, however, also a bit overpriced and small with their portions...and I HAVE had better vegan food than this at other places.

    Iced Lavender Matcha Latte
    Phoenix A.

    Anyone that knows me knows that I loathe turkey. I don't touch the stuff, even at Thanksgiving. So why did I feel compelled to order a turkey burger. Meant to be. Came here for lunch after Christmas shopping. Brought the dog and hubby. It was their first time and we sat outside on the patio. We ordered table fries to start and to drink I ordered the Iced Lavender Matcha Latte which I've had on every visit here. It is truly the best. Hubby found their version of ketchup intriguing and had to ask for more (who knew). For my entree I took the Diestel Farms turkey, smoked gouda, avocado, tomato, butter lettuce, jalapeño rémoulade Turkey Burger. It was juicy burger and the gouda went perfectly with, excellent combo of flavors!! Since we had ordered fries I chose a delicious kale salad to accompany my burger. Doggie was given a bowl of water by our very accommodating server. All the staff that helped us were kind. I really like that the menu choices aren't "heavy" which is great after you've shopped or done a hike. With the exception of the fries I don't feel weighed down by grease or unhealthy junk. I wish there were one of these on the Westside like at the Mercado or downtown.

    Butternut squash soup
    J.P. W.

    Excellent menu selection across the board. This was my first visit, so I don't know what their seasonal selections look like, but everything I saw on the menu looked tempting. I opted for the butternut squash soup, a teriyaki protein bowl (add steak), a glass of their Liberty School Cabarnet Sauvignon, and for dessert I had an espresso martini. Excellent service from Tyson and Renn working the bar. They were attentive, conversational, and pleasant without being overbearing. The food was excellent. The teriyaki bowl had a nice blend of flavors without anything being overpowering and just the right amount of salt. Sometimes these protein bowls can be salty, this wasn't the case tonight. Excellent. The space itself is comfortable. There's some TVs for those so inclined, and it's open and inviting without feeling overbearing. The runners bringing out the food were very pleasant. Absolutely nothing to be concerned about; everything was awesome. A grand experience across the board and I highly recommend going here. I look forward to visiting again soon.

    This meal was fantastic! I loved the food. We also had a great experience with our server Taylor. She was very sweet, honest, and helpful.

    Teriyaki Quinoa Bowl
    David K.

    This is the second time we ate here and I think it is a pleasant place to have weekend brunch. While we did not select items off the brunch menu, the ambiance of being outside and enjoying the views is really relaxing. Our waiter was excellent and I enjoyed the quality and taste of our food. My wife ordered the Teriyaki Quinoa Bowl and I had the pesto lasagna. Both of us were happy. I also like the small details such as their name on the napkins.

    A really great option in the Park Place mall!…read more I've only been here a handful of times, not often that I'm out towards that part of town how ever every single time I have enjoyed my entire experience. The customer service is great, always ready to help and knowledgeable of the menu. Omar, owner, has a great personality. There is a consideration in the making of the food, use of ingredients for example the use of olive oil for the dressings and the chicken cooked fresh. Salad Nation is located in the malls food court, so that experience in itself can vary from very crowded, busy and loud to quiet and empty. Plenty of seating though! My go to choice is one of the salad size options (regular or large) that come in 'bucket' which is a deep bowl and of course some waffle fries. There are several dressings that sound deciduous but I find myself continuing to go back to the Cilantro Avocado. The waffle fries are insanely great. Hand batter and perfectly fried, some of my favorite in town... like top 3. Being that it's a mall, there is plenty of parking, bathrooms and space. You may have to walk a little to get to the food court but for me, it's worth it. Mom tip: Being a mom I bring my kids to the play area too!

I'm glad I went with my gut because it truly was delicious! It was a great portion, and I really like that the crunchy parts were tostada-like. My friend got the Korean pork sandwich with fries, and she liked her meal too. I do consider myself a french fry, connoisseur, and at first glance, I didn't think much of their fries. But upon tasting them, they had the perfect crunch and the perfect dash of salt. They were good! I got one of their chocolate chip toffee cookies and it was bomb!! I definitely had to hold back from ordering another. I can definitely see why people like this restaurant , from the low-key and local community feel, the great service, fresh ingredients, and they even have merch that they sell from wine, to canned drinks and stationary... something for everyone!

    What a great find! I was in town for work and wanted a…read morelighter, healthy dinner and stumbled upon Flower Child. The gal at the counter taking my order was super friendly and patient. I asked for recommendations and she strongly encouraged the Glow Bowl. I asked about protein options and another staff said the salmon was great and she wasn't wrong. The bowl was the perfect portion size which is greatly appreciated. The flavors were amazing and I would gladly eat this on repeat if I could. The weather was perfect for outdoor dining and there was ample seating. There's even a water station outside. Hopefully I'll have another trip back soon to try more of their menu (which all looked amazing).

I've spent a lot of time at the Del Mar, California location, and I'm happy to say this one carries over the same quality, consistency, and overall experience. The menu strikes that rare balance of being both health-forward and genuinely satisfying. The salads are fresh, well-composed, and flavorful, and the hot entrées hold up just as well. I almost always order the chicken entrée with the golden mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli. The chicken is consistently tasty, the mashed potatoes are comforting without being heavy, and the roasted broccoli has great texture and flavor. From an operations standpoint, this location runs smoothly. Service has been quick each time I've visited, the employees are friendly and professional, and the space feels clean and well-maintained. Parking is easy, and the bathrooms are clean and clearly looked after. Overall, this Flower Child feels like a strong addition to Tucson's dining scene. It's reliable, thoughtfully executed, and a great option when you want something that feels both nourishing and enjoyable. Definitely recommend

She got the daily special which was a potsticker inspired noodle dish. WOW!!!! Absolutely amazing. It was sweet and savory with lots of flavor and yummy vegetables. I ordered the biscuits and gravy because it is my favorite dish EVER. Urban Fresh did not disappoint. The homemade biscuits were fantastic, with chive mixed in throughout. I could have eaten an entire bowl of the gravy and not been disappointed! It was so so so delicious. I was nervous bc it was coconut based but it all came together very balanced and I could not detect any coconut. I also ended up getting the sweet heart juice which has beets, carrots, ginger. It was so good!!!! Chauncey blended it as soon as I ordered. He pulled out the ingredients in front of me so it doesn't get fresher than that!! Please support local! The owners are really doing something special here and I would definitely come back to enjoy more things on the menu.

When I was new to town, the owner actually came out, chatted with me, and gave me a whole list of places to check out, people to meet, and things to do. It was such a welcoming moment that I've made a point to pay that forward to every new-to-town person I meet. Looking back, Urban Fresh was one of my very first experiences here -- and it set the bar. Fresh juices, house rolls, rotating specials, and all those scratch-made sauces keep things exciting every visit. Cozy vegan oasis energy tucked into a cute downtown cove, and still one of my consistent go-tos. The African hot sauce is my fav!
