True Food Kitchen Walnut Creek

Ancient Grains bowl used to be awesome, but it was so spicy this time that it was virtually inedible. Waitress seemed rushed to get our check paid, though it wasn’t too busy. Didn’t matter, as noise level was so loud that we couldn’t converse comfortably.

I had the chicken panini, and my brother had the ancient grains bowl. Both were very good. I had the squash on the side. It was lukewarm and some of it was too firm as if it wasn't cooked long enough. My sister has several allergies. She ordered the teriyaki bowl, no teriyaki (allergies and other mushrooms besides the shiitake because of her allergies. She also ordered the squash on the side. She had the same problem with the squash. In addition, they put teriyaki on the salad, and she said the mushrooms didn't seem cooked. She also said whatever vegetable was in the bowl (asparagus? was hard and didn't seem cooked either. This was the first time of many visits that her food was not good.

We reserved a table for 6 at noon and were able to push out the reservation half an hour, and the restaurant was quite busy so we were thankful to get a good table inside with the air conditioning. They also provided a high chair when requested and had a kids menu with great options and portions for our group's toddler. Everybody ordered something different and enjoyed their offering, and I found the vegan cheeseburger just as satisfying as a meat patty. Service was also attentive but not intrusive, they were able to answer our questions and brought exactly what we needed. We'll definitely be back!

I had the most wonderful salmon coconut curry that was not spicey and cooked with lots of interesting veggies. Eveything is fresh and delicious.

Mediterranean Salad was delicious — Also had the crudités appetizer with two sauces yum! veggies are fresh and healthy. Lots of great vegan choices. Loved the citrusade and the purple lime tart.
