    Based on previous visits today not so great. Shrimp way overcooked and no seasoning on sweet potato side. Ran out of our beverages and place not even busy. Too bad as it was our favorite place.

    Thank you for your feedback, Joanne. We're sorry to hear about your experience with the shrimp and sweet potato, and we'll work on ensuring better consistency in the future.

    Unfortunately, our experience at the Chicago location did not live up to our previous experience at True Food Kitchen in Naples. Very paltry portions and not made with care. Service was not attentive and the place was almost empty. It was so disappointing because we appreciate the concept and were excited to return. We are willing to pay for a meal that is fresh, healthy, and abundant, but it's sadly not what we got.

    Hi there. We are so sorry that we did not live up to your previous experience. Please let us know if you plan on giving us another shot so that we can make it up to you!
