    I like True Kitchen cery much. I have been several times abd always have great food and service. Today I was able to take my sister and niece to celebrate my sister’s birthday. I’ve always eaten outside and today was the first time eating indoors. The food, ambiance, and service was spectacular. It was a little noisier than what I like but it did not dampen our lunch. Out server Kat was great. She even gave my sister a free dessert for her birthday. True Kitchen has something for everyone! I love it.

    We ordered Edamame Dumplings, squash soup, seasonal squash pizza, veggie burger and Korean glass noodle. They’re just ok, nothing really special, plus so oily and salty, I wonder if this restaurant is really healthy. The only thing that’s worth it was the pizza, it was fluffy and freshly baked. If you come here you will get some typical American foods but nothing really healthy and special.

    Thank you for your feedback on our dishes, and we're glad you enjoyed the pizza. We apologize for the disappointment with the other items and will review your comments to improve our offerings.

    The food and service was great. Our server was excellent. I think it’s too noisy though. It was difficult to have a conversation

    Always a great place to eat. It's a beautiful setting with consistently good food. We were a party of 8 with 4 kids and the kids cleaned their plates. Thank you for being a terrific spot for our holiday season dinner!

    If you expect to be full after dinner - not going to happen. Went home and had another meal.

    Wait staff was so excellent. Food is always fresh and great - especially seasonal items. The brussel sprouts were amazing. Today I tried the thai noodle bowl with shrimp and it was great. I also love the korean noodle bowl. Also nice wine selection. Love this place!

    It’s always great. I love this restaurant I had something new today, the veggie burger, it was good but not as fabulous as other things I’ve had. Loved the side salad & dressing. Delicious!
