A nice, quiet little place with vegan fare. I enjoyed my entree, though I wish it had been a little less salty. The staff was very nice. They're part of a weird religious movement, so they play the videos of their "supreme master" quietly on the TV in the background. A little weird, but apart from that, they offer a nice selection of vegan Asian-style food. read more

Should be renamed The Tofu Hut. Went here with "mostly-vegan" relatives who recommended it highly. Restaurant itself feels like a converted fast-food joint. Service was very prompt and friendly (one star for food, one star for ambience, four stars for service) -- server took time to explain a number of items to my wife. Biggest disappointment was that almost every dish included (or centered around) some sort of soy protein or tofu. Hello! There are tons of ways to be delicious vegan dishes that don't include the abomination (to me) that tofu is from a taste and mouthfeel standpoint. Wife did not like her faux fish entree, the wonton soup was o.k., as was my veggie Mu Shu. Next time, it's off to Cafe Lalibela, or any good italian or middle eastern place. read more

Freaking out a little. Just got finished eating there. Hairs in the food and I saw a cockroach crawl across the kitchen floor. At least if I get sick tonight I will know why! read more

Yum yum yum! !!! It would be pretty easy to drive past this place as it's not your typical "trendy" neighborhood spot but WOW the food is great! I just finished my first dinner there and I already can't wait to go back. Moo shoo vegetables. Order them. read more

plain and simple, this is some tasty vegan Chinese food! the location is a little out of place, but the staff are super friendly and food is good. just make sure to check their hours before heading over. CLOSED ON MONDAYS read more

I give the Loving Hut 5 stars mostly because of their Sweet and Sour Divine entree. It's like a mock sweet and sour chicken meal. I've visited the hut twice and although planned on trying something different on my second visit, ordered the Sweet and Sour once again. My matey enjoyed the Royal Noodle soup which was spicy, lemongrassy, and topped with plenty of cilantro. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxing with a wall of windows spreading soft light throughout the interior. I noticed that a few people have complained about the religious video (possibly Buddhism? Didn't pay much attention) playing on the widescreen. I say who cares, no one is forcing you to convert to anything. From my experience throughout my lifetime almost everyone preaches something that they believe in one way or another. For me this was about the food, nothing else. Unless they are poisoning the food with some mind controlling substance, who cares! read more

I love this place, from the cult, to the eerie 80s decor, to the interesting conversations I overheard...it all just makes me laugh...but the food is good and it's cheap. I mean I don't see myself following Supreme Master Ching Hai anytime soon, but I appreciate a good vegetarian restaurant. read more

I went in there for my birthday a couple months ago, and I LOVED IT! I went back a few other times as well. Amazing food and staff, they lady who had served me was so sweet, even brought me out a "birthday rice cake" made from rice. It was adorable. Waited about 45 minutes though for my food, but other than that. AMAZING! read more

Not impressed. The servers were more focused on the TV then greeting me and sering me my food. The food was okay, but could have gone to a non vegan restaurant and got a better vegan Asian meal. There were not enough veggies, which is surprising since it is a vegan restaurant. The food wasn't horrible but would probably not go again unless I was in the neighborhood. read more

This place is awesome whether you are vegan or not. Great food and is a favorite in an area known for great restaurants.

A lot of very good vegan Asian options. Very cozy atmosphere. The veggie steak and potatoes is my favorite.

Very delicious vegan food with wonderful customer service to go along with it.

Yummy food and nice people. The Hawaiian burger is divine. Great choice for vegans and vegetarians, as well as carnivores wanting to try something new. read more

Everything I have tried here has been awesome . They also sell vegan dog food and goodies like vegan jerky which I love.

Best meat that is made from plants in town. I took a friend of mine who had lived in Thailand for eight years and married a woman from Thailand. He was impressed with their beef noodles. He said that he would not have guessed. The cuisine is Oriental and pretty darn tasty at an honest price. Their cheeseburger is a cheeseburger - except it is vegan. Try it. Your mouth will love it. I like the clay pot too. read more

I would definitely recommend this place for vegans and vegetarians. In town for business and tried it for the first time. Lentil soup was the best I've ever had. Sweet and Sour Devine was devine. read more

Excellent vegan food. Very accommodating waitress Linda who adjusted the meal to our allergies and other requests. Loved the fried tofu. Quiet and pleasing atmosphere. May try their Thanksgiving meal read more

This place was GREAT and I am not even a vegetarian, let alone a vegan! Amazing meat substitutions and the flavors were delicious! We got the Heaven rice rolls as a starter, then BBQ Noodles, Pho, and Sweet and sour Divine to split, and everything was spectacular!! We also got a smoothie and a vanilla shake, AND a piece of chocolate cake! YUM! And, the best part, it is affordable!! I guess there was a decent wait for the food, but we hardly noticed because we were too busy visiting. Highly recommend!! read more

The food tastes good. It cost a little too much for the amount of food. My husband always leaves hungry after ordering 2 entrees. The faux meats are pretty good, and I like it that they offer purchasable vegan items from the freezer. The atmosphere is very cafeteria, not a very posh/ trendy place, but ok if you're not trying to impress anyone. The rose lemonade is great. read more

I love this place! Me and my husband always struggle to find good vegetarian/vegan restaurants so I always love to eat here! I really like that I can buy vegetarian food products there as well, the beef slices are awesome and really easy to cook! My favorite. read more

I have driven by this place a hundred times and didn't want to go in because it looks a little run down from the outside. I finally got take out last night and the food was AMAZING. I'm not kidding- so yummy! I got pan seared dumplings, bbq noodles, and a slice of raw, raspberry cheesecake. It was so very good- they are clearly expert in the area of vegan foods. So much better than going to a non-vegan restaurant and having them try to accommodate you. I would have given 5 stars but the wait time was crazy. She told me on the phone that it would be one hour. What?! Ok fine. We waited the hour and my husband went to go grab my food. They still weren't done and it took another 30 minutes. I feel that 1.5 hours is waaaay too long to wait for one meal. This is why I gave 4 stars. I will try it again due to the food being so good- and hope that they were just having a rough night. read more

Probably the best place I've gone to for vegan food. Absolutely delicious. Great service too. Just wish they weren't an hour away!

Food here is always very very good. I am In love with the Lemon Grass Chicken. So good, the wait for food can be very long, sometimes that's ok, but sometimes you have to go back to work or have other things todo. it's really a hit or miss for me because of the time thing. I will most likely be back, but will gripe about the service, if it's bad. read more

I've ate from this International chain so many times. I live in Tempe, so I frequent that location. My friend lives near this one, and wanted to try some vegan food so we went here. It started out okay, our waitress had impeccable service the whole time. We ordered the fried won-tons and they were great, and so was the specialty orange drink we got (can't remember the name). She got a dish that was the one I always get at the Tempe location but it had a different name, and I ordered something I'd never gotten, the New Yorker. Our food took a little while but nothing crazy. She liked her dish, which I tried and it was not nearly as good as the Tempe one. Really bland. My food was awful. It tasted like undercooked cat food. I was like, oh man this sucks. I've never had a dish from this chain I didn't like. So I politely asked our waitress if she'd mind taking it back to the kitchen and removing it from our bill, since I only tried a single bite and the rest was untouched because it was nasty. She seemed hesitant, but was really kind and said she'd talk to the manager. The manager comes out and is literally arguing that we have to pay for it because they made it and she didn't care that I didn't like it or eat it. That I should take it home. Why would I take it home? To throw it away there? She literally interrupts my friend and I trying to nicely explain it just wasn't good and we didn't think it would be fair to pay since we didn't eat it, it tasted terrible! On top of interrupting us, she scoffs, and just walks away. We are sitting there like what the hell.. she comes back and literally throws the check onto the table knocking off a fork. She removed it from the bill. This whole thing was insane. I've never had a dish from here i didn't like until that moment, and the rest of the food was great. The waitress had to apologize for her, and let us know that she keeps all the tips that are made unless its cash on the table. if you're going to eat loving hut, eat at literally any other location. read more

I've been going here for years and sadly will not return. My favorite dish is the Pad Thai, but I have been noticing it lacks the consistency in flavor it used to have. Sometimes it's too sweet, tart, not spicy enough, not creamy enough, not the same. Today me and my friend ordered it and the flavors and colors were different. I preferred hers, but that isn't how a restaurant is supposed to work. That sucked. What a horrible feeling to be salivating at your dining mate's plate and you ordered the same thing! But to add insult to injury was the service. I ordered one of my favorite cakes, the pandan. I prefer the desserts at the Glendale location, but theirs aren't too bad and they happened to have my favorite cake. I excitedly took a bite and begrudgingly swallowed a sweet, soapy, gross tasting confectionery disaster. I had to send it back. I told the server the problem, she took it away, and I figured it was resolved. Nope. She informs someone who appears to be a manager and they proceed to try to give me an education about Pandan cake, a cake I have had countless times before. Clearly they were insulted that I said it tasted soapy, but did I really need to see google images of the pandan leaf? Or a long story about how it is a special cake that was homemade? A simple apology would have sufficed. A few minutes after my pandan education, a small woman came peeking out at me. It was clear they were talking about me. I suspect it was the baker of the cake. Once again a simple apology would have sufficed. Instead they stood out near the kitchen and possibly attempted to curse me in Vietnamese for THEIR ill tasting cake. My dining mate still had a sweet tooth and decided to order their carrot cake. All was kind of normal until the check came. On the check I was charged $6.50 for the carrot cake. No where on the menu or their specials board is there a cake for $6.50. They do have an overpriced raw cheesecake for $7, but that's another matter. Their menu clearly states all of their cakes are $5. Tell me why I had to bring this to their attention and when they still tried to play me I actually had to read it for them. Eventually they took off the $1.50, but why was it there in the first place? Bitterness and the worst customer service is the answer. I used to really enjoy the food and service at this Loving Hut location, but now I won't return. I will never forget how nasty their attitudes were, almost like that awful cake. I added a star for Nostalgia. read more

This used to be the Suma Ching Hai restaurants many years ago, and the food remains similar. The chow fun was tasty, fried rice was nothing special, the lemongrass mock meat dish was just like how we remember it back when it was Suma Ching Hai. The clay pot sensation was like severely salted tofu. It was so salty it's hard to swallow. The food was ok, nothing exciting. The ambiance was really quiet. We were pretty much the first party there that evening. The first thing my toddler said was "where is everybody". We told her the evening just started. What we did not anticipate was that they intend to keep it that quiet. Half way through dinner, my 8 weeks old baby started crying. He is not even the loud type, and he only cries in discomfort. While I was busy grabbing a bite so that I could take over the baby, and my husband was trying to sooth our baby, the waitress came over to my ear and told me to take the baby away to a corner to not disturb the other diners. I was furious. My quiet, good natured husband was so pissed that he dropped his dinner, paid up and we left. All the time, the big screen tv was playing and advertising about Supreme Master Ching Hai and her kindness. Wow! Talking about hypocrisy. Her restaurant cannot tolerate a less than 2 months old baby's primal and innocent cry. I was so excited about Loving Hut for months and that was our first visit. It is also our last. We are vegans for compassionate reasons. This establishment preaches kindness but has zero substance. We will not return. read more

I had been considering becoming vegetarian and a trip to Phoenix before we moved here led to the Vegetarian House. After eating there my mind was made up and I became vegetarian. That trip was over eighteen years ago and I am still vegetarian. I love the food at the Vegetarian House. The food taught me that there was an alternative and that I didn't have to give up the taste. I buy many of my faux meats there and cook them at home without the asian flair. I love their lemon grass chicken, lobster, spring rolls and my husband always has to have the sweet and sour pork. I have been going there for years and have never felt like it was a cult atmosphere. Nothing is pushed or preached, simply there if you want it and ignore it if you don't. The point is that no animal has to die and I do not have to eat the flesh of another being in order to sustain my life. I only wish there were many more vegetarian restaurants in the area; and when I say area I mean within fifty miles. read more
