Loving Hut

I’m not a vegan but wanted some vietnamese food. So I gave this place a chance. It was surprisingly good! I didn’t mind the beef — like tofu for my noodle. The service was alright. Will I go back? Likely yes.

I don’t frequent vegan restaurants so this is truly an unbiased review, with my main comparison being «regular», «meat-​based» food. That said, this place is absolutely delicious. I just recently stumbled across it on a work lunch, and considering the fact that it’s just minutes from my workplace, I’ve already been back several times. The BBQ Vermicelli is hands-​down amazing. The meatless «beef» has a great flavor and the vegetables are really fresh. I could eat it everyday. The service is impeccable (so friendly) and the place is really cute. There isn’t a lot of indoor seating, but it’s perfect for a quick, extremely reasonably priced lunch. I have told several people about how great it is and hope that many continue to try it out!

This is one of my go to vegan joints. I usually get the BBQ vermicelli bowl. It’s my favorite!!!

Great vegan food and equally as great wait staff. We loved it and will be back again next time we’re in town. :)

Very tasty Hawaiian burger. Juicy and favorable. The fries are to die for. Clean food healthy food and tasty food. What more can you ask for?
My lady got the spicy noodle soup. It’s delicious!
I highly recommend it. Nice people and the little Asian lady owner is sweet and patient with us changing out orders. Give this place a try you will come back!

When I heard Loving Hut was opening a new location just down the street from me I jumped for joy!
This is the place to go if you are looking for a vegetarian/​vegan meal without the steep cost or snooty attitude. Customer service is always top notch and the ingredients are always fresh.
I love to get an entrée and round it out with one of their handmade beverages. The golden vermicelli and Evergreen are a typical combo for me.
The only thing that keeps me from giving it a full five star rating is the cramped space and waiting time for to go orders. To avoid both inconveniences I would recommend calling in your order. Other than that, I have nothing but positive things to say about Loving Hut.
Go get yourself an enlightened meal today!

Great food!!! I’ve only had the chow mein, and twice at that, but it was so amazing the first time that I couldn’t resist it again! The establishment is so cute and small and I love the message that they have on the wall, just goes to show how loving and compassionate vegans are!

This is an awesome little place. The vegan meat here closest in looks and taste to original meats. A little more oily for the stir frys but the taste is totally worth it. If ur a vegetarian u must try this place for sure.

This was my first time visiting this cute spot. I recently became dairy-​free for weight loss and vegan seemed liked the easiest route to go. I’ve been to other vegan places closer to my house before, but I wanted something different.
This is an Asian Fusion Vegan Restaurant! Who knew a place like this existed?! The design of the place is original, aesthetically pleasing, and super cute!
The staff is incredibly friendly and more than willing to help you navigate your way through their awesome menu!
THE FOOD! I got the Spicy Noodle Soup! Holy cow!!! So freaking good! You wouldn’t even think it was vegan! So delicious!
Definitely check this place out! If you’re Vegan or NOT!

Came here the other day for my delivery service at door dash and it smelled amazing. Came back today for my lunch break and enjoyed their guru curry fried rice, can’t wait to try more of their entrées, and I’m an omnivore !

I tried them for lunch today. They had a great menu with many different dishes from eastern to western cuisine and all vegan. It was clean, cozy, and small but in an intimate way. I ordered the phở and the golden rolls. They were both good the only thing is they use meatless «meat». I personally find dishes without these meats to be better, I do not like the flavor imitation meat has. The phở broth was very nicely flavored and they give you all the usually fixings and a large size. The golden rolls were crisp and had veggies inside with a sauce on the side.
The service was good everyone was friendly and overall I would come back to try many of the other dishes I would just opt out of the meat substitute!

This place was pretty good. Unfortunately, the Loving Hut relies rather heavily on imitation meats. Another con was the tediously slow service. Everyone was very nice but, oh boy, it took forever for someone to take our order, even though there was no one ahead of us. The waitress was chatting with some other patrons for about 15 minutes before another cashier came to help us, then it took her five minutes to enter our order into the register. By the time we had our order completed there was a line of about five groups behind us. That’s not to say the staff wasn’t extremely nice, just not trained well and rather clumsy.
Most of the pricing was alright, but I thought the tiny Chili side (they used a small plastic condiment container) was overpriced at $ 3 for about two tablespoons worth.
The food was delicious and I might be back to try to find something healthier on the menu.

First of all, I love the staff here. They are all very friendly and nice. It made our dining experience very good. I went there with my husband and father for lunch. I had curry fried rice and they really made it spicy for me so that was good. My husband got the chili burger and loved his food. My dad got the golden vermicelli dish (the one with the crispy egg rolls). They tasted soooo good. I must say these are the best egg rolls I have ever had in America!
I truly appreciated how the restaurant changed the orders according to how we would like them. They made mine spicy and made my dad’s with no onions (the lady who I assume is the owner actually went there to the kitchen and talked to the cook to make sure there was no onions in his dish, that was very nice of her). They also let us use their private bathroom and brought us utensils after they served the food. Overall, they were really nice and we were impressed.
The decoration of the restaurant is really nice and cute too :) We enjoyed watching the TV on the wall in the dining area. They played videos of vegan cooking with very beautiful images.
The only downside is probably that the place doesn’t have as many options in the menu as other Loving Huts. But hey! as long as you like what they have, it’s not really a problem :) They do have quite a few menus and they are good ^ ^

Pinch me! I am so happy this place is here! Rachelle who took my order is such a very sweet and helpful person! The food was amazing! I ate my Thai cake first, recommended by Rachelle, and it was ON POINT! Probably, the best cake I have ever eaten. And that is saying something! I do admit that I ate my cake first! Next, the spring rolls were amazing. There was a bit of pickle inside which made for a nice flavor profile. Finally, the fragrant Phở soup. Beyond!!! This restaurant made me happy to live here and just happy full stop. Loving Hut please never leave!

Yes it’s true this location is very small. Probably better for takeout. I came on the Martin Luther King holiday early afternoon, and I was able to get a seat.
The staff is friendly and the restaurant is very clean. I had the beefless bahn mi. It was just like I remembered it from the other location I’ve been to. Large bun that was crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. Nicely seasoned fake meat. Pickled carrots that are excellent. I love it and the portion size was good.
I like the décor cute little tables!
Their menu seemed smaller than the one in Glendale, but as long as I can get those vegetarian bánh mì sandwiches I’m happy!

I’m lovin’ this hut. This lilliputian vegan restaurant packs a big punch with beautifully crafted, delicious dishes that won’t make you miss meat at all. We came here around noon on Saturday and there was only one other patron eating. As we left it got a lot busier and tables (4 inside and a few more outside) started filling up.
The menu consists of noodle soup, burgers, sandwiches, salads, rice noodles, and faux meat Chinese style dishes. After browsing through the menu I decided on the golden vermicelli ($ 8.50) and tried some chickless banh mi. I also had an iced chai to drink and spicy fries to share.
The iced chai was absolutely delicious, one of the best iced chai drinks I’ve had. It was beautifully presented, with a rich, velvety foam on top, a dusting of cinnamon, and a lovely chai flavor that reminded me of the great chai tea they serve at Indian restaurants. The vermicelli was equally as beautiful to behold, and had a wonderful combination of textures, temperatures, and flavors, from the grilled faux beef, the soft rice noodles, lettuce, spring rolls, shredded carrots, radish cucumber, and sauce. It was a hearty meal that I could have easily shared with another person. The banh mi was also quite delectable, with a light, airy bread with crispy outer crunch, the tender faux chicken, and crunchy pickled vegetables.
The fries were a sizable amount, with a flavorful slightly spicy tomato sauce with beans and some faux meat.
Service was friendly and cheerful and our meals took only a short time to be made.
Although the space is very small, they manage to make it a serene, peaceful environment, and I love the plant wall decorations. There is a TV on one of the walls too that plays various vegan cooking demonstrations, showing off spectacular looking dishes.
Definitely a healthier option for eating out. I’ll be back for more delicious dishes!

I am glad to finally have a loving hut in the east valley, one might say I love having that hut near by.
This is a small store front. 3.5 tables inside and 2 patio tables, so don’t bring a big group, to go may be a better way to go. They also lack a true public bathroom.
The food was great. I tried the Bhan Mi which was great, fresh bread, veggies and the best seasoned fake meat in town. I also had the spicy soup which was nice but not too spicy, the faux fish balls were nice with an intresting texture.

Vegans/​vegetarians rejoice! Loving Hut is here in Tempe. The restaurant itself is super small, seats maybe 9 people inside? I would only order to-​go from here. I tried the Saigon Rolls appetizer. The rolls were bigger and fatter than the typical non-​vegan Spring rolls you get from Vietnamese restaurants. The «shrimp» was made from sea-​plants and tasted pretty much just like shrimp to me! I liked their peanut dipping sauce a lot. The only thing is that I would def share that appetizer, because eating 2 of those big rolls on your own is too much and at the end the shrimp started tasting weird to me. Also I didn’t care too much for the pickled carrots inside, I think I would have preferred just regular carrots!
For my meal I got the Spicy Noodle Soup that came with tofu, fake «beef», potatoes, bean sprouts, and noodles. I loved the flavor of this soup, very spicy and warming on a cold day! I didn’t much care for the tofu, but the fake beef was really yummy! The potatoes seemed a bit undercooked to me. It was a lot of food though, that one order turned into 2 meals for me!
For dessert I tried the chocolate cake. I really wanted to try pandan cake, but they were all sold out! The chocolate cake I would pass on next time. It was pretty dry and not quite as fudgy or rich as I would have liked. The nice thing was it wasn’t «too sweet» so if you have less of a sweet tooth, you might enjoy it more.

A new location for this great vegan restaurant! I was in the neighborhood and checked Unilocal for someplace new to try. Well, this place has only been open a week, and I enjoy Asian food so I decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did!
Note: each location has a different menu, and Unilocal links to the menu at a different location! Use this link for the Tempe location:
Food:
They have a very interesting menu. I rarely go to vegan places, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I ordered the Amazing Chickless Sauté (to go), and was very happy with my choice! It was savory, and very flavorful. I added a. Bit of Siracha to kick it up a notch, but it was plenty flavorful without. I see quite a few items on the menu that look good, so I’m eager to try more.
Cost:
Good: my entrée was only $ 5.95.
Service:
They are still in their «soft opening», which means still training. That said, they were friendly and happy to explain the menu choices.
Atmosphere:
Nice and quaint! Clean, fresh, but beware, the place is very small, with limited seating.
Overall:
Very good! I’ll be back to try other interesting menu items.

The newest Loving Hut has opened in Tempe, AZ, and the world is smiling. If you’re not familiar with Loving Hut, they are the largest vegan restaurant chain in the world. This location is brought to you by the owners of the Glendale LH location.
I went for their grand opening party on Saturday, 21Nov15, which they sweetly dubbed a «Welcoming & Appreciation» Party. From 11am-​9pm, they served only a special menu, which consisted of Golden Rolls, Rainbow Salad, Golden Beauty, Kung Pao, Save the Planet Curry, and your choice of Lemongrass, Jasmine, or Hibuscus tea all for only $ 7.95! This idea is ingenious. Kudos to whomever came up with this. It allowed newbies to try several different dishes, and gave me a chance to go outside of my normal go-​to dishes. It was a LOT of food and it came out fast and delicious. ‘Twas a very successful and well-​organized soft opening.
The employees were all extremely nice. I felt like family; it made my soul smile.
How can you not love Loving Hut? Not only are they 100% vegan, but they are passionately committed to saving the planet (Eco-​friendly containers) as well as animals, and they are always sweet and kind. It truly is a Loving Hut. Peace and love, y’all!
