We ate at True Food in Bethesda for the first time this week. Great experience. Many GF options all labeled, and they can convert many other items to GF if asked. Our server was very aware of celiac and how to keep my son safe. Food was very tasty and much healthier options than most restaurants. Service and atmosphere was great. We will go back again for sure!
The food is delicious and they have a lot of GF options, all clearly marked on the menu. I’ve eaten here many times before with no problems. This is the first time I’ve ordered something that wasn’t already 100% GF, a sandwich with a “gluten friendly” bun. They accidentally brought my sandwich on a wheat bun. Fortunately I asked to confirm before touching it. They made me a new sandwich (my husband could see the kitchen from his seat) and comped our dessert, but that could have been a disaster.
I dined here for dinner. I ordered the spaghetti squash casserole and the sweet potato hash. I also ordered the mango tart Togo for dessert.
I stressed to my server that I have celiac. She thanked me for letting her know that…
I had to have either gotten gluten or had cross contamination.. I became very sick after eating this meal:(
Very disappointing:(
ASK BEFORE ORDER!!!! I stressed the celiac diagnosis upon ordering and the waitress was confident. Overconfident as it turns out. They ARE conscientious about preparation, however, when I ordered the clearly marked GF teriaki chicken bowl for my son with celiacs, someone from the kitchen came out and said “actually the teriyaki sauce isn’t gluten free.” Gluten free...sort of?!? They showed me the Korean Noodle bowl that “actually Is gluten free”. Traveling. Fingers crossed.
The restaurant is devoted to healthy food. The staff understood which things on the menu contain gluten, and asked all the appropriate questions.
Menu is clearly labeled. When I told my server I had a gluten allergy she said she would alert the kitchen so they would take precautions. I ordered the Korean noodles with shrimp with no issues. Highly recommend!!
