True Food Kitchen in Pasadena

Loved this place. Everything is decorated really nicely and so much thought goes into each dish because foods are cycled seasonally. Overall the service was great and the food was solid. After a long day with a hungry group, this was the perfect place to sit back, eat great food, and feel relaxed. Overall a great experience! There’s usually a wait so call ahead

Good experience overall. It’s a pleasant place with good food. We have tried: Two egg breakfast, Poke bowl, Avocado toast. Poke bowl was the best, really great taste combination. The rest was ok. Will come back to try other salads and bowls.Street parking is hard to get during the weekend, but plenty of paid parking garages around the block.

Great healthy food and it is very pricey. I recommend the cobb salad, it was very tasty. I tried the pomegranate fizzy drink, it was okay, the flavor was lacking. Friendly service and nice cozy area. Parking is street and you have to pay for a limited of 2 hours Parking.

Came here for a Saturday brunch. We had a party of 10, so made reservations the day before. Upon arrival at the hostess stand, we were promptly seated at our table. Our table was in the inside area, but it was perfect weather, so they had all the doors open. This area gave you the benefits of shade and air conditioning, but also the fresh air.Our server did an amazing job from initially being seated and throughout the meals. We enjoyed a few brunch cocktails while looking over the menu. The Spritz drinks were very light & refreshing. We also started off with some Herb Hummus and Edamame Guacamole which everyone enjoyed. For the meals, we had everything from the burgers, salads, and tacos. Surprise hit was the O.G. Grass Fed Burger. As common as a burger may seem, this one was like no other. All the dishes were plated nicely, had generous ingredients, and tasted great. I wouldnt have complained if I had any dish as my main.Great place to come for a nice meal, drinks, atmosphere, and customer service.

We love visiting this spot when in LA. We’ll sources tasty meals with many vegan and veggie options. So flavorful no matter what you choose you can’t go wrong. Make sure to ask if the dish is spicy though! It’s labeled on the menu but some dishes not marked so might still have a kick.

I have never been here until invited.. overall great experience the food honestly wasnt anything I would Rave over over but it was good

I liked the atmosphere there. My Smashed Avocado Toast was so tasty. The Citrus spritz was good too.

Love the ambience of this restaurant so much! I do not know if TFKs at other locations are as pretty as the one in Pasadena, but I can make sure that youre gonna love this place😂🫶🏻. It is very bright, airy, well-decorated and spacious. I also get excited seeing all the dogs that come here because they are cute HAHA! 🐶Ive been here twice and the food never disappoints. I love:- Edamame dumpling 🥟. MY FAV! They are very generous with the edamame filling and love love love love the subtle truffle fragrant!! ✨ Please do not expect an authentic chinese dumpling, because it is definitely not. The texture of the skin is soft and the thickness is just right. Highly recommended!!- Teriyaki Quinoa Bowl 🍚. Delicious and very fulfilling. I love to add the chicken or salmon to my bowl. This bowl is good and full of nutritions, so it is highly recommended! 😋I also like to add chicken to basically any of their foods 🍗. Its perfectly grilled and seasoned, and I love the crispy edges of it 😉! Love how healthy and hearty their foods are.

The attention to detail in both the food and service was phenomenal. The design of the restaurant was visually appealing from the modern decor to the green booths. It managed to accomplish a fine dining experience but in a cozier setting. We were lucky enough to have a table that faced the kitchen so we were able to see some of the food actually being made.One of those items being made was the edamame dumping which is what I ordered first. The broth was well developed and you could taste the love that was put into these dumplings. For my entree, I ordered the pan seared sea bass. The fish was perfectly cooked and all the ingredients made for a cohesive dish. I finished off the night with the butternut squash pie which is made in house. It reminded me a lot like pumpkin pie and the crust was perfect. The crust reminded me of a crust that is used for tarts with its soft buttery texture. The food was exceptional, and I couldnt have asked for a better dining experience!

My experience at True Food Kitchen is always exceptional. I get treated with respect and motherly hospitality. What I like the most is when servers/workers know their menu to the maximum detail. Bryan was a supreme ball of knowledge when it came to the menu and the seasonal menus. He knew the anatomy of the food and gave me the best option for me. Great taste and great atmosphere.
