True Food Kitchen used to be a bastion for health-focused yet delicious food, but the quality of this chain restaurant has deteriorated. The eclectic menu features a variety of globally-inspired flavors, and we ordered from all over the map. To start, the Mediterranean Hummus was a chickpea purée topped with spicy herb sauce and red pepper pistachio spread, served with baked flatbread crackers. The lemony hummus didn't have much tahini and turned out rather grainy (not my favorite). A better appetizer was the Charred Cauliflower, florets coated in a spicy, creamy harissa tahini, along with dates, pistachios, and herbs. The Spicy Penang Curry was a tangy spiced shellfish curry broth served with regenerative black rice, sweet potato, bok choy, rainbow carrots, snap peas, and onions--decent though not particularly authentic. The Spinach and Wild Mushroom Pizza was roasted mushrooms, spinach, and cheese baked on a thin, crispy sourdough flatbread, topped with lemon almond ricotta, but the pizza was rather bland and flavorless. The True Crisp'd Tender Plate came with lightly breaded air-fried chicken tenders served with kale salad; and my favorite dish was the Seasonal Market Salad, made of mixed greens, roasted carrots, roasted cauliflower, pistachios, dates, and feta, dressed with a creamy tahini apple cider vinaigrette. We topped the refreshing salad off with a filet of arctic salmon, which was dry and overcooked. Overall, the food here was rather average and not worth going out of the way for--disappointing, as I was once quite impressed by the quality and flavors here. read more

Gotta say we were disappointed this time. Been a few years since our last visit and we were excited to try it again! Slow service, brussel sprouts were undercooked and the sauce waaaay too strong and salty. Had to send it back. The tuna poke was kinda a strange color, still edible but took me back for a second. Overall, not as good as we remembered, but will prob try again in a year or so. read more

I used to love coming here and I haven't been in a while. I was disappointed with my burger and fries. Fries were soggy and the burger was not great. I used to love everything that I tried here. The service was good yesterday as we had a large party but the food was subpar. The all American the patty was so small all I saw was lettuce even when I opened the burger it was so small. I was so surprised because the quality used to be on point. read more

Came for Mother's Day, it was ok. Service was good. However food portion sizes sucked. The dumplings came with 5??? And they forgot my kale salad. Free parking in the Broadway plaza parking lot for 3 hours read more

Ive been here a couple times for lunch, and love the interior and outdoor seating. Unfortunately our last visit was not our favorite. The waiter who helped us was not the friendliest, and would leave us alone for quite a while, making us unable to ask for things we wanted during our meal. We tried the sourdough pizza and unfortunately the dough was a bit raw in the middle. I got the avocado toast and their iced coffee drink. The coffee was delicious and the eggs were great. Unfortunately the avocado toast was a bit too spicy for me. I got the kale salad on the side, which is my absolute fav! Ive had some good experiences here, and will probably be back to give it another try! read more

The place is modern and clean. The service is just ok. They did their job but never checked on us. The food is mid. The Korean noodle bowl was ok but no better than the Trader Joe's japchae. The salmon was actually decent but $12 for a small chunk of fish. The ancient grain bowl was tasteless and the first chicken was bone dry (even though it's drenched with a nasty mystery sauce). I sent the chicken back and they replaced it with a slightly more edible version. Overpriced and mediocre. read more

Loved the ancient grain salad bowl - vegetarian friendly and I added tofu for extra protein. The salad was super filling and nourishing. Loved the pesto sauce dressing that came with it. The restaurant has huge dining space, will try to eat there next time instead of takeout. read more

Very average tasting food. I got the teriyaki bowl with chicken after seeing that one had the most consistent positive reviews but I was disappointed. I ate here for the convenience but I wouldn't come here intentionally as it's not worth it. Service was good and the overall vibe of the restaurant is nice though. read more

Ordered the Bright Eye Refresher and really enjoyed it--very refreshing, light, and not overly sweet. A great, feel-good drink. We also tried two pizzas, which were okay overall. On the butternut squash pizza, the kale topping wasn't cooked well and was hard to chew, which made it difficult to eat. The glass noodles were tasty, but the portion felt quite small for the price. We were celebrating my daughter's birthday and appreciated that they kindly split the glass noodles into two bowls for us.Overall, a pleasant experience with room for improvement. read more

Audrey was awesome!! The food was great! Easy to shops! Audrey was bubbly and friendly

First of all, it's in downtown Walnut Creek, so you already know it's in a fun, lively area--right in the shopping district, which is always a plus. The space is great: huge indoor seating and a fairly large outdoor patio as well. We actually sat outside, and it seemed dog-friendly--we saw a few pups hanging out, which was cute. The food honestly surprised me (in a good way). The menu leans more health-conscious, but everything we tried was really good and didn't feel like "health food" at all. We ordered one of their sourdough flatbreads, which was hands-down my favorite--crispy, cheesy, and delicious. I'm a pizza-and-carbs person, so it totally hit. My husband ordered a pasta dish (I think it was jambalaya- or gumbo-inspired), which was also really good, but the flatbread stole the show for me. We also got fries (because always) and shared a fresh-squeezed juice, which was refreshing and well balanced. Service was top-notch, food came out quickly, and the overall vibe was immaculate. Everything just felt easy, relaxed, and enjoyable. Definitely a spot I'd come back to--especially to try more of their flatbreads. read more

Great for healthy eating, service is ok, not much of an ambiance so really just a place to go eat Food was better previously but has definitely purely gone down hill, steak recently very gamey and poor quality, bowls and entrees have been coming out lukewarm Kid friendly and usually not crowded so great to go with kids Unfortunately food has been going downhill and feels like they have been battling inflation by cutting quality of food prep and ingredients read more

I love introducing people to True Food kitchen. Their food is beautiful, tasty and healthy. I even took my brother to TFK during his cancer adventure to introduce him to Whole Foods that he would like. But what the heck is TFK texting me with processed carb pictures for the "Perfect Mother's Day Brunch". Disappointed! read more

Audrey took great care of me at the bar! I ordered dinner to-go and ended up staying since she was so sweet!

We have been here many times. Each times little more disappointing then the last,unfortunately. We were sweated quickly,outside. Our food which was two orders of the GF chicken and fries and a cup of soup took. vERY long time . As a matter of fact other tables they were seated after us and had more complex orders for their food before us ! We had to ask about our food and finally it came. The fries were not edible as they were fully burnt . We ordered spritzers which were bland and taster just like water . The restrooms were disgusting. No toilet paper, trash ever where. It looked like the sinks we had not been cleaned in a month. The soup dependents were broken . No toilet seat covers. Lots of staff working but no service. With so many good options in WC I'd say's skip true foods and pick another place. read more

This was our first visit to True Food, and Rey provided outstanding service. She did an excellent job explaining the menu and highlighting the benefits of the dishes.

i've come to this location numerous times, but today I ended up sitting at the bar for the first time. MJ ended up being my server/bartender and she was great, she had so many recommendations and she made a mean espresso martini! read more

The food is good with lots of options. They were accommodating to my vegan diet and allium allergy, though my dish ended up coming out with green onions--I just picked them off and they were just on top, and everything else was tasty. The space does get very noisy, probably due to the acoustics, but the service is always friendly. read more

After the depressing experience of wasting my time at broadway plaza buying things I don't need, I decided to stop by TFK. I went with the happy hour specials, cheap house wine ($5/glass) and the butternut squash pizza w/chicken . Thanks to MJ I went from the usual disappointment of shopping center dining to believing there is still customer service out there that deserves to be recognized. read more

The day before Christmas Eve we were finishing up our Christmas shopping in Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek. We existed Nordstroms to the parking lot to find a massive traffic jam backing up all four levels. The exists were completely stopped and people were getting out of their stopped cars so instead of getting into the mess I decided to get lunch at True Food Kitchen. They have enclosed part of their patio. We got some lattes, the japchae Korean glass noodles and a burger. The burger was ok, the japchae was good but small portion. The food and service fit the need wait for the parking situation to clear out. read more

Absolutely delicious! I had such a wonderful meal at True Food Kitchen. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and full of flavor. I ordered the Spaghetti Squash Casserole with Chicken, and it was incredible -- comforting yet light, perfectly seasoned, and packed with wholesome ingredients. For a starter, I tried the Chia Banana Foster Pudding, and wow -- it was the perfect beginning! Creamy, naturally sweet, and so satisfying without being heavy. The atmosphere was bright and welcoming, and the service was just as impressive. You can really tell they care about quality and mindful eating here. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

I absolutely love True Food Kitchen. Every time I come here, it's such a great experience from start to finish. I ordered one of their plant based burgers and it was honestly so good. You can really taste how fresh and healthy everything is without sacrificing flavor at all. The service is always top tier. MJ was my server this time and she was amazing, super kind, helpful, and quick. You can tell the team really cares because it's always service with a smile. They get you in and out, but you never feel rushed. If you're looking for food that's both healthy and delicious, this place is it. I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

Stopped by True Food Kitchen in downtown Walnut Creek for dinner and had a great experience! The location is super convenient right in the middle of everything and the vibe inside is fresh, open, and modern. I ordered the grass-fed burger and the mushroom pizza, and both hit the spot. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and felt like a healthier take without sacrificing taste. The mushroom pizza was earthy, cheesy, and had a great crust perfect for sharing. Definitely a solid spot if you're looking for something that tastes good and feels good. Service was good as well. I'll be back to try more of the menu! read more

Stopped in for lunch while my mom was in town and popped in for lunch. We ended up getting the lunch special. Solid wraps, really great chopped salad, but the star was the edamame dumplings. For lunch the service was great, the server Brian made sure we got everything we needed. Overall will be back again! read more

Cute interior and great ambiance. Dog friendly both inside and outside. The burgers left much to be desired though, came out looking pretty crazy and it was dry for some reason. Wasn't feeling the sweet potato fries either but the cauliflower was nice. Was $56 after TT for two burgers. Servers were super sweet and the vibes were great otherwise. read more

Had a birthday dinner for a friend here on a Monday afternoon, it was not busy at all, did not have reservation & they were able to accommodate our party of 6 girls with no problem. the place was quiet and calm. Our waiter was super nice & patient with us as we waited for our whole party to arrive. She checked on us regularly to make sure everyone got drinks as they arrived. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich which was savory, loved the cole slaw & slices of apple on it were a surprise but good! As far as my dragon fruit lemonade i was not a fan of it as it was waaay to tart for my liking, im assuming the dragon fruit was just to give it color , i definitely would go for a different drink. read more

We popped in here yesterday for drinks before the concert series and sat at the bar. MJ was our bartender and she made me the best espresso martini! I had requested for it not to be on the strong side and she knew exactly what I was looking for and she certainly delivered. I loved every sip of my delicious drink. The bar area was very clean, inviting and MJ was very attentive to us as well as to everyone enjoying their time at the bar. Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome, being so friendly and thoughtful with making our drinks. I will be back again for these for sure. I've come here many times now and I just also want to say the manager, Luna, is pretty awesome, very kind, sweet and prompt. She cares about the customers and makes sure they are getting the wonderful service they come for. I appreciate you, thank you. read more

tldr: If you are thinking of Doordash-ing, do NOT. Expensive, small, disappointing, forgotten avocado on my $20 tiny salad. My company ordered lunch from here and it was $20 for their crisp'd green salad (gf) which they forgot the avocado in my salad. sweetgreens is 2x the size of this True Food bowl. The greens, I could have bought a large container from Safeway for $5 and received 5x the amount of greens. The size of this container for the price is insane; the amount of food they give you is SO small. I ate an entire subway sandwich after this because it didn't fill me up at all. Maybe 10 pieces of chicken as well in the entire salad. I am extremely disappointed and will never order from this restaurant again. read more
