    True Food stands behind their quality as non-GMO and healthy options. The food is tasty, but a bit on the pricey side. It’s a lot like an upscale diner atmosphere, trendy, and hip. They have unique dishes and pizzas and other offerings, as well as signature cocktails, and nonalcoholic drinks for a healthy option. Overall, True Food is yummy and with a visit!

    I love the concept .clean food no bad oils most organic . The place was lovely and clean. Our server seemed a bit overwhelmed but still not terrible. I like the food options there should be more thou. I don’t like the fact they don’t have French fries . If they had air friend fries or tallow fries would be wonderful . I think restaurants should have options for vegans, but I don’t think that they should focus on vegan for dessert. There were no options that were regular. That was upsetting.. I noticed that the quality of food is great, but the quantity of the food is very little we had to order a couple of entrées each. There should be more of a pizza selection on the burgers should be slightly bigger.. I like the fact that there were filtered water machines. And they had a lot of cool different refreshing non-alcoholic drinks. Like I said, the concept is really cool. I just think they need to fine-tune it a bit. I would definitely go back.

    The server was super pleasant and responsive to our needs. The problem was that we had so many complications. My companion is vegan so ordered a salad with no cheese. It arrived with cheese. Had to send it back. Two of us at table, only one got a glass of water, and only one of us was given a fork. I ordered breakfast (steak) tacos, and they arrived without steak. They brought me a thimble of steak instead of reconstructing it in the kitchen. The tortilla fell apart at this point and I couldn't pick it up with my hands, so I sent it back. The chicken sandwich I opted for was pretty good though. This was just a brunch. Not a dinner. Nothing complicated. There should not have been a need for our server to give us multiple apologies. I know brunch is the least-desirable shift, but at these prices, maybe staff your place with some grownups? Because now you're a hard no for dinner or any other time of day. Quite a disappointment.
    True Food Kitchen - HackensackResponded on March 11, 2025
    We're sorry to hear about the complications during your brunch experience, Peter. Thank you for your feedback; we hold ourselves to a high standard and regret that this was not reflected during your visit. Please reach out to us at your earliest convenience as we would like to make this up to you. Sincerely, Kristin (Restaurant Manager)

    In general, I love True Food Kitchen. The food is very healthy, and as someone who can't eat gluten, I feel safe here. But recently, service has very slow and the food has been arriving at the table cold.

    Fairly underwhelming. Service was quite slow; our food took nearly an hour to arrive despite only four or fiver other tables being seated late on a Monday night. Server was very slow to take orders, and one of our dishes was completely incorrect. Food was decent and reasonably priced, so this may be better as a take-out option over dine-in.
