    Tell your kitchen staff when they add beef to something simple like a Quinoa bowl they need to cut the beef up. I had a terrible time swallowing your food. Twice it got stuck in my throat. What kind of food are you using that it would be so terribly difficult to swallow?

    We're sorry to hear about your experience with the beef in your Quinoa bowl, Stephen, and appreciate your feedback. Thank you for bringing this to our attention; we'll ensure our kitchen staff addresses this issue to improve the dining experience.

    Another good experience. Quiet and comfortable in the restaurant. Service was good, as was the food. Great quality and healthy. The restaurant is in a calm part of the mall, and easy to get to from the parking garage. All around perfect for the business lunch.

    Food was all nicely done except that the squash soup was heavy on nutmeg. Our server was pleasant but courses came haphazardly with my husband receiving soup 15 min before my app. My app and main came together. Our server did not check in with us about our apps.
    True Food Kitchen - San Diego UTCResponded on 4 May 2025
    We're sorry to hear about the timing issues with your courses and the squash soup, Marc. Thank you for your feedback; we'll work on improving our service coordination.

    We used to love dining at True Foods but sadly the quality of food has gone down hill lately! We had to send back the air-frier chicken tenders because they were cold in the middle. Overall, very mediocre food for the price.

    We're sorry to hear about the decline in food quality and the issue with the chicken tenders. Your feedback is appreciated; We will use this information to improve our food quality for future guest and for your next visit.
