Our Founder’s Story

Itsva was born out of Hannah’s lifelong connection to food. Growing up in her family’s restaurant, she learned the rhythms of the kitchen as early as eight years old. Recipes and traditions were passed down to her, but so was something deeper — the belief that food is more than fuel; it’s a way to care for people.

As Hannah grew older, she found herself in Los Angeles, one of the most culturally diverse food cities in the world. There, she discovered bold new flavors and cuisines, and began experimenting with blending them with the recipes of her heritage. The result was something exciting and unique — a modern Asian fusion style that stayed true to tradition while embracing creativity.

Wanting to refine her craft, Hannah returned to China to study professional healthy meal prep. With her background, training, and passion combined, she came back to Irvine with a mission: to make healthy eating convenient, fresh, and genuinely flavorful. Today, Itsva delivers on that mission every week — offering meals that are balanced, made fresh from local ingredients, and full of flavor that tells a story.
