Loving Hut

Have been going for a few years now, and just started coming more frequently. 100% VEGAN, SUPER AFFORDABLE and very TRANQUIL ENVIRONMENT. A few favorite picks: #1 VEGAN & GLUTEN-FREE PHO with rice noodles and veggie broth (finally) #2 MOZZARELLA STICKS (perfect crisp outside and melted vegan cheese inside) and #3 STIR-FRY (very hearty and filling).

The servers are super helpful if you need help on deciding!

Reliably wonderful vegan food - a national chain, fyi. We usually dine in but sometimes get takeout.
This location has a fairly clean dining room, but it seems mostly utilitarian.
Meanwhile, the menu is overwhelming. You can have vegan versions of Chinese takeout classics like Sweet & Sour, or vegan American classics like a chicken sandwich with fries.
Personally I recommend the noodle soups, which are giant portions and wonderful broth. Add some sriracha sauce for extra spice!

This is a nice change of pace for me for someone who doesn't venture out to vegetarian only places much. This visit was from back when I went in August so I don't know if anything changed back then.

Walking inside, there's a counter with baked goods and a place to pick up if you are ordering for carry out and a section on the right side for people that are dining in. I wanted to sit down to see what my experience was like.

I had a waiter come up to me to get my order in and within a few minutes later I had my appetizer come out. I got Cha Gio or Golden Rolls as they call here. They came in two pieces with sweet and sour sauce. I could definitely taste carrots, cabage, taro, onions, mushrooms, mung bean, tofu for sure in here. It was a delightful taste and I didn't feel like it was anything different from the other places where I got vegetarian egg rolls.

The main entree I got was drunken noodles which was just stir fried flat noodles with soy protein, bean sprouts, chives, bok choy, onions topped with sauce. For the portion you are getting, this was a lot. I think it wasn't spicy at all and perhaps I could have asked if there was an option to make it spicy but not an issue. The dish was filling and honestly just impressive on how vegetarian food can emulate meat in so many ways. I think there were moments when I was eating that I take a bite out of the soy protein and I'm just thinking; " it's really close to the actual thing! ".

I haven't tried anything else but I think I'd come back to try out more options. Try this place out if you like vegetarian food!

Yes, I am back after I said I wouldn't return here. I still wouldn't if not for my wife. Dropping the food my food on the dirty floor and trying to serve me the same food on a different plant still leaves a bad impression on me.

Nevertheless, I am here trying their Fried Wontons. It comes on a plate with five hot and crispy wontons. The wonton had some flavor to it, but I did not get a second helping.

I brought my own cup with ice, because I don't trust this place. The ambience here could be considered calm, but not by me.

The service wasn't bad, but the wasn't any parting farewell. The woman took our payments then turn her back on us.

My wife still likes this place, but I do not. If I do come back here, you can bet your ass it's because of my wife.

Really friendly service. Ok food. I liked the eggplant tofu dish, but my husbands lemongrass tofu stir fry was tepid and I would not recommend it. Haven't tried anything else on their menu so maybe we just got unlucky with that one.

Delicious Asian-style vegan restaurant chain tucked in a small shopping center next to 711. Get the Lemongrass Tofu!

Skip the Glass Noodles with Mixed Veggies! They were clumpy, oily, and congeal. I prepared better glass noodles at home and I'm not a noodle expert. The thick mixed veggies were sloppily thrown on top of the noodles and not mixed in with the sauce. The veggie ham was quite tasty and the best part of the dish!

While the bbq drummies were tasty, they were smothered in a tangy sweet and sour sauce. I would get sauce on the side next time!

The Lemongrass Tofu was bursting with flavor! While I enjoyed the lemongrass broth, it was too runny to absorb the rice. I bet the pho with thin stringy vermicelli noodles would be delicious and seems to be the specialty!

I would come back again to try the pho and the Oreo covered cheesecake and sweet treats!

I'm not vegan, so keep that in mind; I'm just open to trying it in a Vietnamese context. The summer rolls were good (they are hard to screw up). The general tso tofu sported too much breading and needed more sauce. The pho was a disappointment, having a pleasing aroma but a peculiar flavor -- we suspect that while we are used to being able to choose how much hoi sin we get to add, this broth came with some already mixed in, making the soup oddly too sweet.

We would bring a vegan here, no question - there's a good variety of food on the menu - but i don't expect we will rush to come back on our own.

Intimate space filled with wonderful aromas. This is my first visit. I ordered takeout. Lots of popular dishes. I can't wait to get home and sample everything!!! Addendum...uploading soon.

They have the absolute best vegan desserts here of all time! I got the chocolate cake which was amazing! Their pho's are really good too!

The service was prompt and good!

Ambiance: The place is a sit down restaraunt with the option of take out! I have done both before and both were good :) if I was vegan I would come here all the time!

It's a great spot for Vegans. It's not so great for those who aren't Vegan - it's hard to substitute the real thing for vegan things when the real thing is usually much better.

+ The golden rolls are good. Nothing special, but on the good side.
- The Bun Bo Hue (well, without the Bo since it's the Vegan version), paled compared to the real thing. The seitan in the bowl was meh for the most part, with one type being a bit off-putting. The broth was too simplistic too - tasted like it was made with kitchen water, if you know what I mean.
+ I will say, however, that the tofu dishes are the star here. The lemongrass tofu with mixed veggies was the best thing I had out of the three, and by far.

I like that there is a market in this restaurant - you can pick up vegan treats (sweets like cookies, cakes, etc) and ingredients to prepare vegan dishes at home. A vegan mini-market is never a bad thing when there's usually not one in most cities. The market portion of the restaurant might be a bigger draw.
