BYO Bowl can be as filling or light as needed! Ingredients all tasted fresh. The cauliflower rice was more soft/wet, less firm/fluffy. Herb chicken was super tasty, and portion size was substantial for the price.

The immunity broth is seriously so good. Exactly what I needed at the end of the day in this cold SF weather. The eggplant was sooo good and went perfectly with the paprika chicken. Farmer greens were crunch and fresh, though I would definitely recommend a grain as a base if you are concerned about portion size. Def getting it again to try the mushrooms next time

The Cumin Beans - Side sure didn't taste like cumin or anything much for that matter. They literally sent a box with ONE LAYER OF BEANS! Literally one layer! I've never seen such a ridiculous portion of food. 4x4 box * a single bean high! Don't bother!
Ginger Squash Curry was a few diced red peppers, a few diced sweet potatoes, white rice, and a little cup of squash curry.
They Kitava Fries were pretty good but arrived cold. The ketchup has an "off" taste.
Beet & Arugula Side Salad The inclusion of coconut yogurt was a miss. It did not compliment the salad; it overwhelmed it. I like to taste my veggies. Omit it.
The Spiced Carrot Muffin (V) smells plenty spicy.

This is one of my go to restaurants for delivery. Healthy food, great ingredients, and it's delicious. I usually get the BYO Bowl with the beef, brussel sprouts, sweet potato, and wild rice. It's so good! Also often get the chicken nuggets. They're generally good but sometimes less crispy than other times.

First time ordering from this find in the Mission but not my last. Based on reviews, I ordered the Paprika Chicken Protein Plate and what a great decision. The chicken was so flavorful and tender. I was a bit apprehensive thinking it might be too spicy or dry. Needn't have worried. Delicious. The charred broccoli and Lundberg jasmine rice were perfect sides. We added the Roasted Fingerling Potatoes - Side for a light dinner for two with no leftovers. We'll definitely order again. What a great new place for a go-to meal that doesn't break my budget.
