Regularly went to this location because it was convenient for my lazy days.
Today, changed that. They didn’t know how to work their eat 24 app, and when it «didn’t go through to them,» they made me call eat 24.
I was already hungry I ordered my food right before I had to sit in traffic with the expectation that my food will be ready and I can go home… I showed up to only have to wait longer.
Got my food, took it home and found three little hairs. Wonderful.

I work in the same mall as this Loving Hut and there is a huge lack of vegetarian options so I’ve come here a couple times on my lunch break. Staff are always friendly but the food is lacking flavour. The patty sandwich doesn’t even come with tomato which is weird to me. They will add it upon request but charge extra. Usually takes 15 minutes from ordering to receive my food so not really worth it.

Located inside Westfield Oakridge, next to Target’s main entrance, Loving Hut is a tiny Asian-​ish food booth that offers vegan food with gluten free options.
There are not many seating options, you have to use public seating and tables in the middle of the mall’s alley but then… if you are fine with this… Loving hut provides delicious vegetarian dishes at a very reasonable price!
My favorite is the «Spicy Royal Soup» which offers a mix of Thai taste (lemon grass, basil, chili…), tofu, mushroom, fake meat and thick rice noodles. This soup is simply delicious. You can order non-​salty and extra spicy which makes it perfect for me!
Their fresh rolls are nice as well. The rainbow salad (minced cabbage) is perfectly seasoned.
Staff is very friendly and of good advice.

I ordered the spicy soup– $ 9.19.
It was super hot! The fake meat things on top were tasty but sort of awkward to eat. Then there’s a layer of fat spaghetti/​udon type noodles. Then a layer of shredded cabbage.
Since the broth was too hot, I took the rest of my soup to go.
I shopped at Target, got to my car and decided to try and eat the soup. The temperature was perfect.
Mmmmm. Great mildly spicy flavor. The only strange thing is there are shredded bits of chili, the same kind of annoyance as popcorn kernels.
Anyway, yummy soup!

I can’t believe that I ate Vegan food. It almost taste like meat.
Located inside the mall in front of Target. Parking will be challenging especially during the holiday.
Ordered a Tuna Sandwich, Saigon Rolls, and Sweet Potato fries. All were great but the Tuna sandwich stood out because you don’t realize that it’s Vegan food. I’m willing to go back and try the other options because if Vegan food all taste like this, why not go Vegan?

Tucked away far from the food court, across from Target.
Consistently good food, fair prices for the amount and quality of food, fast & friendly service.
Except for busy weekends, there’s always a seat available to eat.
Definitely recommend the Spicy Noodle.

Consistently amazing Vegan alternatives for when we want to eat healthy– or healthier I should say.
They are located conveniently in the Oakridge Mall by the Target entrance (near Forever21.) Service is great– they are courteous with helpful suggestions to help you narrow down what you want.
So far– our absolute favorites are their Fried Rice Combo and the Wonton Noodle. These two dishes are savory and the meat (vegetarian) tastes amazing!

I love the phở here. I usually get the spicy one. Also the fresh saigon rolls/​spring rolls. I get vegan food cravings often during my pregnancy. And this hits the spot everytime. Everything is coocked fresh here or I’d been sick by now for sure.

Excellent place, I didn’t think I could find a Vegan place that would have an Italian Meatless Hero

So I purchased a Groupon and I’m so glad I did! This place is wonderful! The food tastes amazing!
I got the spicy noodle soup and my fiancé got the curry dish. Both was wonderful and I also got the fried egg rolls as an appetizer and that was also really good! Their Thai tea was also on point. I would definitely be back here for more vegetarian food!

Vegan food in a mall? California is great! Pad thai was really good, the cheese cake was just ok, but the fresh food was great!
Also the woman at the counter could not have been sweeter, especially with a long line.

First time trying this place and I must say I love it! I ordered the fried rice plate and it is amazing. The spring rolls are to die for and the protein is so flavorful. Definitely coming here again. The cashier is very friendly, the food was done in a timely manner. Highly recommend this place.

Let me just say you definitely get your money’s worth!
It takes a lot to get me full, but this place gives you a lot of food ! I’ve ordered to-​go from here & the quantity I feel was less then what you get if you eat there.
The sesame bites were not my fave, the sauce was really sticky and there was too much it, but next time I’ll ask for less sauce. My favorite thing to order here is the vermicelli delicacy! SO MUCH FOOD! I love it. The soy «meat» was delicious, I like that it didn’t taste identically like meat, being a vegan, the meaty flavor disturbs me haha, but I have no problem with this! Just absolute deliciousness

Pretty good place! Was shopping at the mall, bought a groupon, so decided to give it a try. I ordered the spicy royal noodle, Eggrolls, hibiscus tea, then had the pad Thai to go. I was VERY surprised at how the spicy royal noodles tasted. Broth had a traditions taste to it and tasty! Noodles were cooked well. Interesting «meat», but other than texture of the meat, taste was great overall! Pad Thai was good. Tasted more like a Vietnamese stir fried noodle versus pad Thai. Tofu and «shrimp» were in it. Shrimp was comparable to actual shrimp. Hibiscus tea was perfectly sweet and very refreshing. Would definitely come back to try something else!

Three words: SPICY ROYAL NOODLE. Also known as a vegan version of bun bo hue. It was the perfect remedy for my Lenten season meatless Friday hunger and perfect it was. The lemongrass broth (peppered with mushrooms) was depthful and divine and paired well with the noodles and cabbage. There were two different types of faux-​meat: one to look like beef and the other to look like pork. Along with the tofu, the bowl was filling and very satiating.
The cashier was friendly and knowledgable about the menu. I ordered the soup to go and it was well packaged. I was also buzzed via pager when it was ready (which left me time to walk around Target). I would absolutely get food from Loving Hut again, especially if looking for vegetarian/​vegan options.

Don’t be intimidated by fresh vegetarian food. Even carnivores love this place!
Despite being omnivorous, I’ve been to a few Loving Hut locations and have never been disappointed. Just be smart about what you order since it’s tricky to mimic the texture and flavor that meat has. For this reason, the only dish I didn’t care for was phở. I’ve never even had good vegetarian phở at Phở Kim Long. Why would I expect stellar vegan phở here? It was good as any regular soup, but not if you’re expecting that rich beef flavor.
Anyway all tofu and eggplant dishes are scrumptious. Orange chicken is a tad sweet. Spicy beef or any satays are my favorite of their «meat» dishes.
Employees are always really nice and service is good — even at the Valley Fair food court location.

Let me just take a minute to review this place…
This is the worst place to eat at. It’s a bit rough when you have been to the Loving Hut in Milpitas and you had the best experience with your tongue. Then, you come to this horrible place and the utter trickery of this so called «Loving Hut».
No love is given here! The spring rolls may be cheaper than the restaurant but you get what you pay for! The peanut sauce was no peanut sauce at all. It was a watered down sauce and the spring rolls were rolled with rotten lettuce.
The spicy royal soup I also got was quite watered down and none of the food was made with love! If you ever want to come to this specific restaurant, don’t. I’d say that you spend a few more miles of driving to have a great experience at Loving Hut. Don’t waste your time coming to this exact location. Trust me Unilocalers.

Service is pretty bad… the cashier was chatting up with her friend on the phone while she rung us up, which is pretty terrifying. Food did not taste like the other locations I’ve been to. I’d rather go to the Valley Fair location, as their food and service is usually pretty good.
