Underwhelming. I have celiac disease so a friend found this place to try together. I’m also vegan, and this restaurant doesn’t cater to vegans. There are options, but the food is pretty bland and boring. I suggest they make a vegan aioli. All of their sauces are vegan except the chipotle aioli which surprises me, because I’ve known many restaurants to provide vegan chipotle aiolis. I would’ve liked to enjoy the Brussels sprouts with it if they had. My friend got a bowl with beef and wasn’t impressed. We both noticed they throw a big thing of salt onto the dishes, even a side of broccoli was covered in salt. Too much. It also upset me their one plant protein option has oats, because many of us celiacs cannot eat oats (regardless if they’re labeled gf or not). I think it’s great they have a kitchen free of so many allergens, and healthier food! I would still refer them to others I know who struggle to eat out because of food allergies and contaminations, just not for me.

Clean, nourishing food that still feels comforting
Kitava brings health-conscious comfort to the Mission with bowls, roasted veggies, globally inspired flavors, and a menu that manages to feel both satisfying and fresh. Gluten free friendly, dairy free friendly, and very “I did something good for myself today.” If you can over the gross street vibes on 16th and Mission, you'll find a clean haven with tasty rewards.
Great for: post-class refuel, clean eating, food that feels kind to your body.

I love to see a Kitava location in the HM terminal at SFO. Immunity broth & plantains both hit the spot!

Great option for quick glutten free and vegetable forward food. Service was surprisingly great for being an order at the counter resteraunt, and I appreciated that for my dine in order, the food was served on real plates (and my tea in a real glass cup) rather than disposable containers.
Meal is similar to panda express but twice as expensive

This is my go-to spot for ordering lunch when I don’t want to feel like I’ve overdone it all afternoon :) Make your own bowls and the crispy chicken bowl are always great. Also shout out to the staff here for being so accommodating and careful with my baby daughters’s allergies. I called to confirm a few things and have been so impressed by the clean ingredients and care they take in the kitchen.

Awesome restaurant, experienced this one and the Oakland location. Both are great. We’d love to see one in Portland!
