So much YES!! This place is a slam dunk for vegan yumminess and seating is available without a horrible wait too. The burgers are great and we adore the curries too. Definitely a winner for veg cuisine in Phoenix read more

I have been eating at this restaurant for many many years, since before it was loving hut and was actually veggie house. I ordered a wonton soup tonight, as I have numerous times before, for $6.50. When I got home, it was half the size of what you get in the restaurant and what it was the last time I was there and it only had 2 wontons in the soup for $6.50. I felt a little frustrated and called to talk to a manager and was told there was no manager there. I then explained the problem and the woman on the phone said that now she was the manager. I told her that I was confused and said it didn't make sense that she told me that there was no manager and no all of a sudden she was the manager. She then handed the phone to someone else and that person said that she was the "manager" right now, but the boss was not in. I am not sure what the difference between the two is. I asked when the boss would be in and she said the next day and then they hung up on me. Service there has always been very slow, but they have never been rude before. Not sure what is going on. We won't be going back. read more

I passed this place a lot and wanted to try. I'm bummed with myself that I didn't. They s place was awesome. Full vegan Asian food. Very clean. Very fast. Very delicious. I will make this spot one of my go to food spots. read more

I had been to the Loving Hut once before, but it was at a time when I was trying to avoid tofu. That left very few options on the menu. I had the Rainbow Salad before they added the soy ham to it. To be honest, it was pretty bland. Perhaps now that they've added the soy ham it's more flavorful. On my second visit, I tried the Mongolian Wonder with a side of brown rice and it was delicious. I also got the Delectable Eggplant with a side of brown rice for my husband and although the flavors were nice, it was a little mushy. We wished there were other veggies added in the dish, to balance out the flavors and textures. Overall, the service is what really stood out as excellent. I am a teacher and was fighting my first cold of the school year, and the gal who helped me offered her own Throat Coat tea for free and added fresh ginger and candied ginger on the side since it's soothing for a sore throat. Everyone who works at Loving Hut is friendly and quick to get you anything you may need. I love all the vegan options and definitely want to try the Hawaiian veg Burger when I return. read more

I'll start by saying the food is delicious and their hearts are in the right place. But there was so much wrong with our visit, I can't justifiably rate them higher than a 2, as much as it pains me to give a vegan restaurant a low rating. Firstly, we waited 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged us at the front door. After we were seated, we waited 30 minutes before our order was taken. 20 minutes later we were told they were out of rice for our dinners. No rice. Let that sink in for a moment. After selecting our rice substitutions, my dish came out ahead of all the others; looking great, but my husband and children were still without food, so I waited to eat, assuming theirs would be along quickly. My husband's dish came out TEN minutes later. My children still were waiting and my dish was rapidly cooling. The children's dishes came out five minutes later. 15 minutes after mine. Our wonton soup appetizer never arrived at all. Once we were all able to eat, unfortunately nothing was particularly hot, though the flavors were all delicious. They comped our hot tea, but it arrived midway through the meal. I had to ask for soy sauce and chopsticks as they weren't on the table. The manager, while pleasant and friendly, let us know the reason for the delay was that the dishes all cook at different rates and they don't have heat lamps. That may be a truthful excuse, however, if that's the choice they are going to make as a restaurant, they need to manage the kitchen better and start cooking the more complicated/lengthily dishes first so everything comes out at once. Serving one dish to a table of 4 while everyone else sits and waits for 15 minutes isn't acceptable. As for the rice, I can't think of a reason for being out of rice. It's a staple in the kitchen. And with 45 minutes prep time (plus another 30 before taking orders), a batch of rice easily could have been prepared. Finally, there was a couple seated with a dog in a dog bed under the table (not a service dog), which is disgusting, and a doorbell that sounded throughout the dining room every time someone arrived or left; it was a jarring and unpleasant addition to the atmosphere. I'm sure as a take out restaurant, they'd do well, but as a sit down restaurant, they made far too many mistakes to have a 4-star rating on Yelp. read more

5 Stars! just because it's the only place I know downtown that caters to us vegetarians in such a creative way. The menu alone will really impress anyone that enters. They have over 60 vegetarian items with fake meat or tofu. It's crazy to imagine what you can try next. My favs are the eel, sweet and sour pork and lobster... You must try it to believe it! I take all my friends vegetarian and meat eaters. read more

It was nice to have a vegetarian restaurant relatively close to where I was staying! I started off with the Assorted Platter appetizer, which came with three different kinds of mock meats served on a bed of shredded cabbage - I think it was ham (or duck?), chicken and deep fried eel. All were good and it actually creeped me out for a second thinking that it was real meat (well, at least the texture did). For an entree, I had the New York Veggie Chicken - it was poured onto a hot plate at my table before being served, which produced a sizzle sizzle effect. It was okay - the mock chicken was good, but the dish itself was average. I ordered the tofu cheesecake for dessert - very tasty! I'd go back again for sure, there were so many delicious looking options on their menu... read more

Loving Hut is a great place to stop for a meal, vegan or not. Their food always tastes fresh and is never greasy. I love the variety.

I went to the Loving Hut for the first time and really enjoyed the whole experience! The dining area was clean and well lit. The service was prompt and polite. They even ran my girlfriend's purse out to us in the parking lot after she forgot it at the table (I told her she was going to forget it..). They had a variety of Asian dishes and a few interesting American-inspired entrees for those looking for something different. I ordered the Heaven Rice Rolls as an appetizer and the BBQ Noodles entrée. Both dishes infused fresh, uncooked veggies into the meal in a way that didn't compromise taste, but didn't leave you feeling regretful afterwards as some oily or fatty meals can. And the entrée, as well as everything on the menu, was under $10! Great quality, healthy vegan food, served by a polite staff, for a reasonable price; that is what you can expect. read more

I never made it to The Vegetarian House and decided to try this location again once Loving Hut took over the space. We went on a Friday night, the space was clean and white if not a bit to stark (adjusting the lighting would work). The food was similar to the other dishes I have had at other Loving Hut locations so at least it was consistent. The only problem I saw was the service. Everyone seemed to be trying hard and remained friendly while at the same time appearing very scatter brained. We noticed people flagging down waitresses as soon as we sat down so we knew something was aloof. It just seemed to be that they didn't have everything together, like it was opening week or something. Things took awhile and you could see the frantic pace to which everyone was trying to get things done, yet the restaurant was a 1/4 full. Maybe they will iron out some of they service issues, the food is still good although the menu is a bit tired - or I may just be tired of it. I should be thrilled with another vegan restaurant in the valley, but the more I sample vegan cuisine outside of Phoenix the more I crave more of that here. read more

This place may claim to be "vegan," but not the vermin that we saw running in and out of the kitchen. This place is not only rude bad customer service, their unsanitary and quite honestly, dangerous for people's health! Never been before but tried and boy am I glad we had time to gaze around while waiting forever for the food. I told one of the owners, but they only got upset and after I canceled our order, they made us pay for it anyway! That's ok because at least I know not to eat there and I didn't!!! Thank God! read more

This is one of our old favorite standards, and I'm constantly amazed at how many meat-eaters enjoy it too! We usually try to go for lunch because we love the lentil soup they serve that only comes with the lunch combo. We usually order something of the same...springrolls and either lemon grass chicken (excellent!), sweet and sour pork, or New York chicken. Today we were adventurous and tried one of their new menu items, the garlic chicken....wow...it was awesome! I think it just replaced the lemon grass chicken on my favorites list! We also checked out their chow mein so we could have some veggies and it was very good as well....a great combo. They have recently changed the names of their menu items, which I think might be confusing to people because some of the names don't have anything to do with what the actual dish is! But don't be afraid to ask, the staff is very friendly and they won't be afraid to recommend a dish to you. The only thing I hate about veggie house is that they are closed on Sunday and Monday!!! =( read more

Tonight I tested out the new Loving Hut. I grabbed some To Go, and honestly it wasn't as good as it had been previous times. : ( While I didn't see any of the slaughter videos mentioned in more recent review than my last one, I did notice the extra tv running the normal Supreme Master info. The new layout is nice, but I liked the food from before, my sweet and sour faux pork is now labeled "sweet and sour divine" and has bell peppers that it never had before. Three strip soup has been taken off the menu completely (they did make it for me though :) I'm hoping it'll be better if I dine in next time, but for now I'm fairly disappointed with the new Loving Hut and left missing the Vege house. read more

From the outside, a strange looking place with a cryptic name. But inside it's a different story. Vegans should be enamored by Loving Hut (I'm not vegan, but occasionally enjoy a vegan meal). The menu is as vast and diverse as a Chinese vegan menu can be. The "proteins," a.k.a. soy chicken, soy beef, and soy shrimp, should win oscars for best actor. Their consistencies and flavorings were great. I started with the fresh garden rolls and had a the New York stir-fry chicken entree. Both were fantastic. The service was also a highlight -- our server took the time to explain the entire menu, and even offered her own recommendations based on our preferences. It's a family-owned place, and I was proud to support them. Even though there was a TV streaming vegan propaganda in six languages, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and highly recommend this place. read more

Actually the sweetest people in the whole world working here. The food is amazing. The place is adorable and clean. Fantastic all around

So good.....so, so good. Even though I didn't like the dish I chose, everything else was delicious. My niece is a vegetarian and so I took her here and we both loved it. We got the veggie crepes...omg...yum! That hoisin sauce....I got what I thought was a sweet potato dish but I vaguely remember her telling us it was kind of fishy tasting. Niece loved it tho. She got bbq noodles and those were pretty good as well. Oh...and they start you with a delicious lentil soup. We took vegan carrot cake home for later and who knew??? It was great! Go...now...get there! Try the crepes. read more

Absolutely terrible and slow service. They are not even busy and they take forever to do everything and extremely forgetful. I wanted to walk out but stayed because I was so hungry and haven't eaten all day. I ordered a dish and drink, dish came out unappetizing and wrong while the drink never got made. The server dropped off my food and never gave me utensils. No one was around and I had to wait for 10 minutes until she came around and asked me about the food and I told her she never gave me anything to eat with. The protein was too salty and I still was very unhappy and the server took my water away. It took forever to get their attention to get me another water. They even took forever to bring me back change and this is when the restaurant is empty. Bill was $10.29 and I paid 20.35. They even have issues with simple math asking me what I gave them. They gave me back dollar bills as if I should tip them. I fucking hate this place and the incompetent people who run it. I should have walked away without paying. The airheads ruined my one Sunday off I got in over month. I work in a restaurant and I know when service is completely shitty. This place has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. read more

10/10 tasty bites! I had the Wontons, which tasted like chinese crab rangoon. The spring rolls were tasty and the peanut sauce was light but flavorful. The coconut curry was packed full of flavor and veggies that paired nicely with the rice noodles. The wonton soup was okay, the sweet and sour chickn was fun too! I love loving hut! read more

If you are a vegan and love Chinese food this is the place to be! I love the orange chicken and it's amazing!!! Amazing vegan cookies! The staff is great but this is my to go place for a great vegan dish read more

I've driven by this place hundreds of times and never stopped in. Now that I have, I'll be back. Helpful staff, good menu and excellent flavors. I had the "Frank's Veggie Steak and Potatoes" and my friend had the "Spicy Cha Cha." Even if you're not into vegetarian food, this is a worthwhile place to eat healthy. read more

I love this restaurant, I enjoy the one on Union Hills more often as it is closer to where I am staying here! The food is always perfect, service is good and it is a relaxing atmosphere! the "fish" is to die for, almost scary how real it looks and tastes! Always take my out of town guests here! read more

Loving hut hands down has the best vegan food in the valley. I ordered the sweet and sour divine, with the pan fried dumplings, happy wontons, fried rice, and the gardein burger. I've had this place before but this time really changed my mind. Hands down: a must eat in the valley, try it before you judge ! read more

I don't have much to add, but this is a great restaurant. Like other reviewers, the only reason that I am giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is because the atmosphere is a bit lacking. The food is very good. The one thing that I might be able to add is that the cheesecake dessert is very tasty. I recommend it. Oh, and one more thing, you can phone in your order and they do a good job with takeout service if you are ever in the mood for takeout. read more

Mmmmmm! I'm having the Spice Coconut Pad Thai as I write this. It's a bit too much for me but that's because I'm abstemious. Just the right amount of spicy. Vegetables cooked to perfection. Great job, Loving Hut! read more

I love this place. From the complimentary appetizer soup to their pan-fried dumplings to their many entrée options to their iced Mumbai Tea, everything is tasty and 100% Vegan. I highly recommend giving it a try if you have not, especially if you've had a hard time finding Vegan joints in the Phx Metro area. read more

Loving Hut - Vegan Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

As my wife and I explore the vegan lifestyle we have found this place to be exceptional. The garlic sensation is absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this place to people considering going vegan, or even just to try something different! read more

Been to a couple loving hut locations and each one is different. Like this one, it's super cozy but not a lot of seating so may or may not want to eat there depending on how crowded it is. I've tried their bahn mis and carrot cake and loved both. Wasn't feeling too well this weekend and ran in for some bread. I made an amazing discovery, didn't see it on their menu but when I asked for a baguette or just some bread they asked if I wanted naan. I got really excited, naan usually has milk and eggs bakes in and is topped with butter so not vegan but they sell vegan naan and it's really good. Other than the bahn mis and app rolls haven't tried too much else on their menu. Everything sounds really good though. Will come back here to try their other dishes and really like their staff, super friendly. read more

5/5 for food and 3/5 for service. I enjoyed the new age decor and videos playing, as well as the message of compassion and kindness that was perpetuated on the walls, in the music, etc. This place is not just for vegans! Food: Yum! We didn't miss the meat/animal products at all. I got the famous Pad Thai (gluten free!), which did not disappoint. It was flavorful, aromatic, and delicious. I also had enough to take home! My husband got the Sweet & Sour Divine, and really enjoyed the veg protein. He ate his all in one sitting, but had a hard time doing so (: We were told that other favorite picks were the Spicy Cha Cha (it's supposed to taste just like shrimp), Royal Noodle Soup, and Ocean Sandwich. Service: The staff all give off somewhat strange vibes (as mentioned in other reviews). They're not unfriendly, but they're definitely not any friendlier than they have to be, and it seems like they don't want you to be there. They'll offer suggestions if asked, and our drinks were refilled regularly, but no one asks how your food is or if you need anything else. They also pretty clearly wanted to kick us out when it got close to closing time, even though we didn't stay after hours. Of note: They have kind of weird hours, as some other reviewers have mentioned, so make sure you check that they're open before you go. Also, they sell vegan cookies and other bakery goods at the cash register, if that's your jam! read more

Of course this place gets all stars from me. Lemongrass chicken is probably my idea of Grand Master Flash Heaven. Speaking of Heaven, also try the Seventh Heaven Salad rolls thingies. Service is slow but by the time I think about it I'm too busy concentrating on the infomercial/yoga session video of the Supreme Goddess Master on the big screen, who never seems to age. Maybe they just switch her out when the last one dies.... Plus there are ALWAYS weird-looking people sitting nearby who order it up something ferocious, and it's fun to discuss what they could possibly do for a J.O.B. with those white-people dreads. That is not to say that service isn't good, because it is. I couldn't believe it, but someone who went to the Veg House with me actually decided right then and there that he liked tofu. He had never had it before that day, save for a few nightmares, which is just unfair. I do wish it were open more, though. Kind of a PITA to drive up only to find the place locked. read more

As a vegan for over 10 years, i hate to NOT support a tried and true vegan restaurant in phoenix. But i have to be honest and say that this place did not live up to my expectations. In fact, it fell quite short. I ate at the Glendale Loving Hut location and had a FAR better experience there, so my review here is only for the Phoenix location. By all means, DO go to the Glendale one! It has a different menu and completely different atmosphere. The phoenix location on Indian School Road has a very drab interior, and very outdated. White metal chairs that looked like they were from the '80s. My first impression walking in was not a good one, and that is important to me. Definitely not a soothing relaxing atmosphere by any means. Also, there was a bad odor in the air. Almost smelled fishy to me. It almost made me lose my appetite to be perfectly honest. Ok, now on to the food. I got the Grilled Teryaki dish. By the way, did i mention prices are also higher at this location? $9.00 was the cost of this dish -- for lunch! Prices are a couple dollars less at the Glendale spot. Anyways, the faux meat in this dish was fine -- nothing to write home about, but it was "good". However, my complaint is that is ALL it was. Just a big pile of fake meat, and a small portion of lukewarm steamed vegetables on the side with no sauce or marinades on them. Just plain vegetables, and they were getting colder by the minute. Not really what i had in mind for lunch and certainly not worth the $9.00 plus the tip. I guess i should have gotten the rice to go with it all, but that was extra money! The complimentary lentil soup was a nice touch, but i've had better lentil soup that i've made myself. The soup too was only lukewarm, and very small cup size portion. The only positive i can say is that the waitress was wonderful and very friendly. I feel bad writing a bad review, but honesty is my policy. read more

Recently turned vegetarian thanks to places like this that showed me delicious healthy food. Their yam protein Tastes and felt like shrimp. Even had that tail which was Edible. read more

See all

Never thought I'd have such a fabulous meal from a cult! The food is magnificent, the staff was super nice, wasn't too expensive even though it's a vegan restaurant. Highly recommend! read more

I am definitely not vegan but this restaurant was very flavorful and tasty. We started out with the summer rolls and they were served piping hot and delicious. I also had their coconut curry soup which was just amazing. It was thick and very spicy with lots of vegetables. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others. Their service was very good as well. They also had a small grocery store and frozen food to purchase. It was a pleasant experience. read more

This place is the BEST. Amazing food, great people, wonderful atmosphere. I wasn't sure what I wanted but my server helped me and was very patient. The divine chicken (tofu) is to die for! read more

We were a little skeptical at first, because the parking lot wasn't very full. When we walked in, it was sterile and dated and I would've turned around had the server not smiled warmly and invited us to have a seat. So glad we didn't ditch it based on looks. The food was delicious! Two must haves: Rainbow Salad and the Stuffed Tomatoes. read more

Love the food here and the staff is so friendly. Definitely my favorite vegan restaurant in town.

I'm writing this review from the perspective of someone who has never been, nor had the desire to go to a Vegan restaurant...and I loved it! I went with a friend for dinner, we shared the Pad Thai and Coconut Curry and they were both very tasty and satisfying. Leave room for desert, the cheesecake was possibly the best I've ever had anywhere! read more

Wonderful food! Not plant based, but very delicious vegan food. Try the heaven rolls!

Thank you for Awesome Vegan Food!!! All the soups are great! The fried rice is heavenly! I just wish they were open in the evenings too!

On a recent visit to Phoenix, my vegetarian boyfriend and I were told that this was the place to go. At first he was excited to have an entire menu to order from. We ordered spring rolls, hot and sour soup, general tsos and....I can't even remember what I got. All of the flavors were bland and even though he asked for his general tsos to be extra spicy, it didn't make a dent in the scoville scale. The tea was good and the staff were helpful and quick. The atmosphere very relaxing. We really wanted to like this place, but left extremely let down. Hope your experience is much more satisfying. read more
