True Food Kitchen

True Food, El Segundo never disappoints. Great food, great service, great dining experience.

Greeted and seated, after that, crickets. Not a busy Sunday night, plenty of tables open, but no acknowledgment from our server. Waited 10 minutes patiently and informed another worker that we were ready to order and still crickets. After a few minutes, we walked out and told the greeter. He said his apologies about the situation.

We recently returned to True Food Kitchen to have dinner a few times, and the experience, food and service have been excellent. This was especially the case on a recent dinner there. We were fortunate to have very personable and professional Devin as our server. He went above and beyond ensuring that our food and experience was top notch! We ordered several items which were all absolutely delicious, one of which was their wonderful french fries. I asked if we could get some mayo and/or other dipping sauces for the fries. Just a few minutes later chef Jasmine came from the kitchen to deliver us a plate of several wonderful dipping sauces, and she also informed me the ingredients of each one by one, as I am vegan and cannot have dairy as I am very allergic. We felt very valued as customers because of Devin and Jasmine. The menu is excellent with many vegan options for me. Finally, the atmosphere is wonderful on the wonderful patio where we were able to dine with our dogs at our feet. We have already returned the night before last and will be frequenting this outstanding establishment often and highly recommend it to other diners.

I had a fantastic takeout experience at True Food, thanks to Gillian. Managing food allergies can make ordering stressful, but she made the entire process easy and reassuring. Gillian took the time to ask the right questions, clearly explained ingredient options, and double-checked everything to make sure my allergies were accommodated safely. She was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about getting my order right.
Because of her attention to detail, I felt confident and comfortable ordering, and the food was absolutely delicious when I got it home. It’s rare to find someone who combines efficiency with such a thoughtful approach to dietary needs. Gillian truly went above and beyond, and she’s a big reason I’ll continue ordering takeout from True Food. Highly recommend!

Server was very pleasant, courteous, and professional !  we ordered a salad and a bowl as well as hummus. All were very good and very fresh.

New air fried entrees extremely hotter than should be and somewhat overcooked, dry and difficult to cut open so the pieces could cool The salad bowl with peanut sauce was bland. We were probably the first dining guests at 5 pm NYE so no excuse for overcooking the air frier entrees. Appetizers, hummus and cauliflower were excellent. My salmon with brown wild rice was cooked a bit too much but was still tasty

I went to Tru Food Kitchen and had a great experience! Food was phenomenal but what truly elevated the entire visit was my server, Chloe. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely made me feel taken care of from start to finish. Her energy added so much to the meal that it turned a great dinner into an exceptional one. If you’re thinking about stopping by, do it—and if you’re lucky enough to get Chloe as your server, you’re in for an even better time.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant, and it was truly made special because of our server, Chloe. From the moment we sat down, she was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. She made sure we were comfortable, checked in at all the right times, and had such a positive attitude that made the whole meal even more enjoyable. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests and takes pride in her work. The food was great, but Chloe’s service is what really stood out and made this one of my best dining experiences. I’ll definitely be coming back and hope to be served by her again!

My friend follows a gluten-free/friendly diet. It is nice that True Food Kitchen has several gluten-friendly options. We both enjoyed the GF chicken tenders! They were delicious! We also shared the flourless chocolate cake! Yummy! We loved the atmosphere and vibe. Looking forward to visiting this location again soon!

I tried the Chinese Chicken Salad at True Food Kitchen and it was absolutely amazing! The flavors were so fresh and bright ,the perfect balance of savory, sweet, and crunchy. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. On top of that, the staff was incredibly kind and attentive, which made the experience even better. Five stars all the way!

The food is always fantastic but the staff is less than palatable. The restaurant was not busy and several staff members walked past my table multiple times with no one offering water or any assistance. When I tried to make eye contact or wave someone down, I was completely ignored. I finally gave up and left after twenty minutes. I have never felt so disregarded in my life. I won't be returning to this location until the staff makes some improvements. This was at 12 noon at the El Segundo location on December 27th.

Had lunch there the other day and I was extremely happy with the service I received from Jenna the bartender. The food was good too, but it was the great service I received which will bring me back.

Stopped by True Food Kitchen in El Segundo at Point Plaza for lunch and had a great experience. The food was super fresh, flavorful, and really hit the spot. Service was excellent — our server Nichole was very friendly, and we also had a nice chat with the manager, Sofia. Overall a great vibe with tasty food. Would definitely come back!

We chose this restaurant because it stated that they had healthy options and we wanted something that an older person could eat without worry. The menu was kind of limited in that area. In addition, on the day that we visited, they ran out of the pasta dishes and had no cookies for the desserts. There was no "celebration" for the birthday person in our group, even though we told them that that was the reason for our visit. The waiter and manager were very apologetic and kind, but overall, the experience wasn't what were were expecting. The manager did adjust our bill considerably, but we would have chosen somewhere different for a birthday celebration.
