    Entryway

    It's a warm, clean restaurant with an all vegan menu. There is a station for ordering once you walk in, but if you sit at the table they will take your order quickly there after bringing water to the table. They come soon to take your food order and food arrives quickly, but they are slow to bring the check and follow up even though not many people are in the restaurant. The green juice is mostly foam which is disappointing. The curry and general Tso are both flavorful and yummy. Both are better with the rice, 3$ for small and 6$ for large. Plethora of food options on the menu. If you're a vegan or lactose intolerant this place is a definite. If you're a normie foodie, choose wisely. Enjoy

    Green Forest
    Tanya T.

    Flavors were ok but one dish was super hard to eat with its sloppy, huge stalks. That Green Forest dish is a choking hazard. Lemograss dish was good with its crunchy protein but not the best Ive had. The add on veggies does not do anything but make the protein get soggy. Service was decent. Cleanliness was questionable. After visiting the urine facility, from my seat I noticed a female cook "assist" the young server who was packing rice. The young server was using a spoon and this older female cook took the rice in her hands and shoved it in box. She looked up and made eye contact and quickly used a spoon to take off excess rice but that already was enough to make me question whether my food was safely prepared. Sorely disappointed with this location. I had high expectations from being a regular patron at the Elk Grove location. The menu was too much and not similar to other locations. Portion was not worth the prices. I do not recommend. My visit was

    Spicy Cha Cha

    VEGETARIANS, REJOICE!! Ambiance: This place is actually so cute on the inside! It's clean and modern and there's plenty of tables. The plaza it's located in has tons of parking and plenty of dessert/boba places nearby for an after dinner treat. Service: Our waitress was super nice and took time to answer our questions. The woman bringing out the food was also very friendly! Food: I pretty much liked everything we ordered but the best thing was the BUN HUE! If you are a converted vegetarian, this will hit the spot if you've been crying over the loss of the original BBH. The GENERAL TSO is crispy and savory and the SPICY CHA CHA was just like popcorn shrimp. I like them but i'll probably try something different next time since the menu's pretty big! Price: It's around $10-15 each item so I would say it's very decent considering the amount of food you're getting. Wait: We came one hour before closing and there was only a 10 minute wait for the food so service is pretty fast!

    Service was slow! The place is well decorated and is vibrant. The food was a an interesting fusion, but I'd definitely recommend the pad thai

    Only reason it doesnt get 1 star is because the employees were nice. I came in on a weekday night and there was one table. I was quickly sat and upon seating realized the alive and crawling roach seated directly across me at my booth. I asked the lady to move seats and pointed the bug out. I should've left but I felt bad since I was seated and the place was basically empty. I ordered the Spicy Cha Cha because it was the first item listed as popular on the yelp page. It's supposed to be like spicy fried shrimp. I doesn't taste like anything except batter. It's like 90% fried batter and 10% actual shrimp substitute. It also tasted stale. It wasn't really seasoned except the peppers that were on the table. Super disappointed by this place. Honestly might be the worst vegan food I've had. A roach or bad food by itself would've been like mildly upsetting but both simultaneously especially on my first visit is incredibly upsetting.

    Mind-blowing Vegan Menu! Everything was so delicious, fresh, tasty and umami. Clean restaurant and steady service.

    General Tso

    We came here on a busy Lunar New Year and surprisingly lucked out with seating. The service was slow, but completely understandable due to how busy it was. The spot has plenty of space, and the ambiance was quite pleasant. We ordered a couple of dishes such as Gourmet Fried Rice, Green Forest, and General Tso. Gourmet Fried Rice - Super tasty fried rice with generous servings. It's packed with flavor! I couldn't stop reaching over to grab more of this dish! Green Forest - Chinese broccoli stir-fried with beefless strips and jalapeno in a garlic sauce. Loved the garlic flavor with every bite, and the beefless strips were plentiful. General Tso - Amazing flavor, with just a light kick of spice. It's packed with so much flavor, so make sure to pair it with a noodle or rice dish. Overall, Loving Hut was delicious. Despite the insane rush, they cooked everything perfectly, and every dish was a joy to eat. Definitely no corners cut with this location. I'm not a big vegan guy, but I know exactly where to go to grab some dope vegan food.

    I went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars. The restaurant was clean. The staff SEEMED friendly. The waiter seated me and forgot about me. The restaurant was pretty empty. There were only 2 other parties. They seemed to be distracted with another customer that came in and complained why there were a $10 price difference between ordering on Yelp and in-dining. After 10 minutes of waiting, I took my menu to the register to order my food. I got Thai iced tea and Tom Ka Thai soup. The tea was 3 stars. There was nothing wrong with the drink besides the fact that it was some what tasteless. The soup was tasty. I like the fact that it came in a sizzling pot. I would have giving it 4 stars but there weren't that much toppings, mostly soup. I am not a big eater but I ran out of toppings to eat with the rice (that didn't come with the meal). My total bill came out to be $25 (without tips). I find that to be kind of pricy considering the service provided, the quantity and quality of the food. Good experience. Not sure if I will come back.

    gourmet fried rice, fried mushrooms, spicy cha cha shrimp, spring rolls
    Jaimee Rose A.

    this is an amazing vegan restaurant in the milpitas square. my family and i always order to go here and they're pretty quick. everything we ordered in the image i added had about a 15 minute wait time which is not too bad in my opinion. we just walked around as we waited for our food to be ready. when i did eat inside the restaurant with my family once, the servers were really nice and the service was quick. the food itself: amazing. our favorite thing here is the spicy cha cha shrimp (in my opinion, not spicy at all though). it is very crispy and flavorful served on top of lettuce and topped with chilis. my next fav is the gourmet fried rice. those are probably my top two dishes from here. very good restaurant spot whether you're vegan or not, go try this place out!

    Rolling tango. Our favorite dish of the meal.
    Melanie B.

    Nestled in a corner of the Asian side of McCarthy Ranch, is this worthwhile Vegan restaurant. The inside is spacious with a hint of "luxurious" diner decor. This is what we ordered: Potstickers: Quite tasty. On the smaller side, but definitely curbed our appetite for dumplings that were slightly crispy on the bottom. The filling had a satisfying "meaty" texture. Bun Bo hue: Just okay. Could use more spice and more "meat" like seitan. We found one mushroom instead of several. Flavor needed a bit more kick. Rolling Tango: By far our favorite dish of the meal. Crispy and coated with sauce. Nice crunch and texture. Would definitely order this again. Can't wait to try other dishes the next time we visit.

    Pad Thai ($13)
    Andy N.

    Vegan Asian-inspired dishes that will leave you feeling good and satisfied? Heck yes! I've had the Loving Hut in Westfield Mall which operates more as a vegan take-out, so I was excited to see what this larger store front would be able to deliver. I took my Mom here to show her that I can eat more than simply greens. My fellow plant-based community members will understand the joys of trying to explain this concept to family members and friends. The first thing I noticed walking in was how spacious the dining area was. My Mom and I were able to sit ourselves and I saw some of the workers folding dumplings a few tables away. It truly felt like being at a Chinese restaurant and I loved it. There was only one server at the time but luckily it was not a busy lunch hour. We ordered a few dishes to try including their Pad Thai ($13) (Mom chose this), Cumin Seitan ($12), and Twice Cooked Tofu ($13). They were also able to accommodate my request for light salt/sugar, though the last item proved quite salty still so I'm not sure if they actually did reduce the sodium. I still appreciate the gesture and option nonetheless, and also love that they named the item as they were (i.e. seitan) instead of calling it chick'n or something similar. The Pad Thai confused the heck out of me. It came out first and was on a very large rectangular plate, and did not taste like pad thai at a Thai restaurant at all. It seemed to omit tamarind paste (a key ingredient) or it was heavily held back, as it tasted more tomato-y and sweet than anything. The cumin seitan was pretty good and I enjoyed the tofu as well, although it was definitely still too salty. We ended up taking it home and cooking it over with other veggies in order to cut the saltiness a bit. So overall, the main dishes were good but could use a bit more work to make them stellar. I loved their takeout at the mall so I hope they can fix some of these kinks to really deliver greatness. I did get to try a slice of their Mango Cake ($6) and my Mom was surprised at how similar and fluffy it is to the version normally baked with eggs. I'm glad I was able to help break down some more preconceived notions of vegan dining for her in smaller baby steps.

    Chinese Broccoli Stir Fry Gluten Free L
    Sonia N.

    4.5 stars rounded up. Loving Hut is an Asian restaurant with traditional flavors but completely vegan with lots of options for mock meats and also healthy alternatives (e.g. brown rice). The dining room is covered with posters of famous vegetarians and has several booths with a few other freestanding tables. There is a counter at the front for takeout orders and also features a pastry case which looks craveworthy (I would dive headfirst into that tiramisu if I wasn't on a temporary restricted diet.) We ordered the Saigon Rolls with vegan shrimp, General Tso's with soy protein, Basil fried rice (just Basil, not spicy), and the Chinese broccoli stirfry. The Saigon rolls were a solid 4 stars. The vegan shrimp had a good texture, not too rubbery. The fresh mint was so key. The peanut sauce had some fresh crushed peanuts on time, but wasn't as flavorful as I'd hoped. Chinese broccoli is a favorite of mine, and this did not disappoint. It was fresh and crisp with a light white sauce (garlic and ginger). The portion size was large and I was happy to bring some home even after eating a lot with my meal. (I also love the Green Forest dish with Chinese broccoli and vegan beef). The fried rice was spot on, just a classic Chinese version. I wished for a little more tofu. Unfortunately, the basil looked a bit last it's prime and so the herb flavor didn't really come through. The highlight was really the General Tso. The soy protein had such great texture that I had to check that it was in fact soy (had a gluten/seitan texture). The sauce was spicy but not overwhelming (despite the large number of chilis in the dish). I had to stop myself from overindulging because the combo of the textures and savory sauce was addicting. Service was prompt and food came out quickly. We did have to flag down the waiter for a question mid-meal since the restaurant got busy with some large family groups. I haven't had a bad menu item yet, and I highly recommend this over the version in Valley Fair Mall (never fun to eat stuff that has been sitting around for a long time). I want to come back when it's cold for their noodle soups.

    I am trying to eat more vegetarian food these days for health reasons based on the literature I have read on health and aging. Loving Hut makes that very easy, I just wish we had more of them everywhere. I got the fried rice combo which comes with a veg protein and egg rolls which were yummy. Don't just eat here because it is good for the environment, don't eat here not because of concern for animal welfare ...eat here also because the food is just good and the people here are nice.

    Ask the Community - Loving Hut - Milpitas

    Does this restaurant do no onion and no garlic dishes? If so which dishes?

    Yes, most dishes with onion and garlic can be made onion- and garlic-free if you check by dish in their menu: https://www.lovinghutveganexpress.com/s/order#24

    Is indoor dining open?

    Yes

    Does this place have an outdoor patio for dining?

    Yes. We have outdoor dining area.

    Just want to confirm, everything is vegan including desserts? Asking because grub hub labels some as vegetarian

    Yes all their desserts are Vegan too!

    Can I still use my Groupon for takeout?

    What product(s) do they use to mimic the meat, poultry and seafoood products?

    It varies. For some products it is soy and/or mushroom protein, but things like the vegan shrimp are made from konjaku or yam flour. They also have dishes where tofu is the stand in, or there just might not be a specific stand-in for meat at all.

Since it wasn't busy, the staff brought the food to us and took our dishes away rather than us having to drop the dirty dishes in the assigned area. The staff is extremely friendly, the restaurant is clean, and the service is top-notch. I will be back to check out other dishes. Highly recommend!

Okay, today we got the following. It was more than enough for all us light eaters. Actually, I was surprised how much we all actually ate, compliments to the chef. Beef Shawarma - Tender beef, good mix of beef and veggies. Good flavors. Chicken Shawarma - My plate, I finished most of it and had my daughter finish the rest. I got rice, falafel (my daughter ate 3.5 of the 4, lol), and fries as sides. I could have used more fries, but that was probably a good thing I did not. Mansaf - The lamb was so tender. My daughter took half of this to-go. Lamb Shawarma - Again, a very tender lamb Salmon - Was okay, the healthier choice. Tender, I would have preferred it less cooked. Salad - Another healthy choice. Lamb Kebab - A more hearty lamb. Actually this is my preference over a tender lamb. Tabsi Salmon - Again, I would have preferred the salmon less cooked. Was not dry, but would have preferred it to be more tender. Sides we all shared - Hummus, lentil soup, rice, falafel, fries, veggies, salad, carrot walnut (this was actually really good), freeken, etc. Dessert - Baklava assorted; my daughter took all of this to go... She did NOT share with the group, lol. Drinks - Mango Yogurt, Pine/App/Lem/Mint Juice, Franziskaner Hefe (can you believe I did NOT drink today :) ) , mint lemonade, fountain drinks, etc. Overall, the food was good. Ambiance - Huge location. Not busy at all. They closed the "private" room right after we got here. Nice decor, this used to be a Mexican restaurant. Plenty of seating.

Open 7 days a week - 11am to 9pm or 9:30pm. Clean bathrooms. Well, they are NOT signing the log; see pictures. Service - Counter service. Self service - Drinks, napkins, and sauces. We have to walk back up to counter for more utensils. Bus your own tables, etc. Price - $261 + tip; our generous friends paid!!! Thank you! Averaged $30 per person which was not bad for what we got.

This made overall service extremely slow. I understand stuff happens but it would have been nice if we had been told upon being seated that service would be a bit slow due to being understaffed. Beyond just slow service the tables were sticky (my wife used the hand sanitizer on the table and a paper tissue to clean the table) and we had to ask for water twice. All that said, the owner apologised profusely when I went to the counter to pay, so there was some redemption. And now the food: We couldn't order everything we were hoping to try given the long wait time, but here's my rating for what we did order: Malaysian Noodle Soup (3/5): when it arrived it was barely lukewarm, so it loses a star. I was thinking soup will be served piping hot. The taste however pretty good. There's a kick to the broth but a good balanced broth on the whole with hint of coconut and light noodles (I don't like a soup where all you can see is noodle), which worked well for me. The only other thing was whosoever was adding the lettuce did a terribly lazy job - massive piece of lettuce sitting at the bottom. Banh Mi sandwich (3/5) - I'm a sucker for Banh Mi. For those who follow me, you will have heard me mention Bi Cycle Banh Mi more than once and that is the standard by which I judge all Banh Mis. While this Banh Mi didn't get close to Bicycle's, it wasn't bad on the whole. My only feedback would be add fewer jalapeños as they completely overpowered the subtle tastes of the sauces. Pad Thai (3/5): pad Thai looked as it was supposed to but it was missing one of the veggies as described in the menu. Taste was a bit bland but a dash of lemon fixed it. Khow Suey (3.5/5) - my wife gives this a score of 3.5, which says a lot. Good amount of veggies but wished the broth was a bit thicker. But she liked the spice levels and felt it hit her palette just right. Overall, I'd like to come back when it's a little less crowded so we can truly get a taste of the variety thats offered. Let's see what the future holds...

    Got the Mongolian delight and tofu eggplant clay pot and asked for two servings of rice…read more We ate every last morsel and even though I was ready to pop, dessert piqued my interest. We ended up ordering a slice of mango cake and yum. Definitely did not disappoint. Tasted like a good old fashioned Asian fruit cake in the best way possible. Light, soft sponge, airy sweet cream, hint of mango. The high praise for Asian dessert of "not too sweet". My only complaint is that I wish we lived closer!

    This is a very successful vegan restaurant, and its strength is that it prioritizes well-cooked…read morevegetables over fake meat. Dishes that are vegetable-based or prioritize seitan and tofu are typically the best kind of vegan food, over fake meat that never tastes like what its imitating. I wouldn't bring someone without dietary restrictions here, but I think it's a perfect place to bring a vegan/vegetarian/meat-restricted person. They have a lot of good options here. The soups are relatively flavourful for vegan broths. The curry fried rice is delicious as well. I also appreciate the variety of drink options made with vegan milk substitutes. The service is pretty fast considering how busy it gets. Some of the workers can't speak much English, but it hasn't been an issue. Southeast Asian food can be very meat-heavy, so places like this are great. If your vegetarian friend is ever craving Thai or Vietnamese food, bring them here!

    I wanted to order before they go on break. I placed a pickup order for Pad Thai, Fried Rolls,…read morePapaya Salad, and Lemongrass Beef. The Lemongrass Beef was my favorite dish! It was super flavorful, perfectly spiced, and the "beef" texture was on point. I always order the Papaya Salad and typically love it, but today's sauce was a bit sweeter than usual. I still enjoyed the crispy green papaya and fresh basil, I just wish the sauce was the same as before. The Pad Thai was not for me. While the portion was huge, it didn't have the flavor and authenticity I was expecting. I wouldn't order it again and gave it away since I didn't plan on eating more. The vegan fried rolls were good and they arrived crispy, but I wouldn't get them again because the inside had something sweet, and I didn't like the sauce. I'll still order from here because I like most dishes I've tried, but there are definitely some items I ordered today that I won't be getting again.

    This place is down the street from my office and a little off the beaten path but would highly…read morerecommend this place. Start off with the staff is suuuuuper friendly and helpful. I feel like this goes a long way in the food industry and they crushed that aspect. Great decorations and few inside as well. I forgot to take pics because it was a quick visit but was very nice I got the strawberry yogurt milk tea. Very very good. Obviously it's strawberry and milk so not super crazy but I enjoyed this a lot because they used fresh strawberries mixed in with it! I also got the crispy tofu , a solid salt n pepper tofu with a peanut dipping sauce. I liked the sauce but maybe would have preferred something a little lighter. Like a sweet and sour or something. Either way still good.
