Since The Veggie House turned into Loving Hut, I have been twice, and am very delighted at some of the positive changes that have occurred. The space itself is much lighter, and I feel more welcome by the staff. I also like that their food selection is WAY less greasy and has more of a focus on health. I have tried the spicy cha cha twice (it is actually yam protein breaded to look like shrimp) and it is FANTASTIC. I have also had the raw salad, sweet and sour pork, fried rice, one of the noodle soups, and the stuffed tomatoes. All were good, but the stuffed tomatoes could have used a little more flavor. Great portion sizes. They do not serve alcohol, but have some really fun concoctions to drink. Try the "Pink Lady" or the delightful "Sunny Forest." read more

I'll have to admit. When I hear the words "Loving Hut," I think of perhaps some primitive version of the song "Love Shack": ** If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says 15 miles to the, Loving Hut! Loving Hut yeah I'm headin' down the Phoenix highway, lookin' for the vegan getaway Heading for the vegan getaway, vegan getaway, I got me a car, it's as big as a whale and we're headin' on down To the Loving Hut... ** The song coursed through my head a few times as I ventured in and browsed through the menu (**Loving Hut baby! Loving Hut bay-bee...**). I was on a limited time schedule so I got the lemongrass chicken ($9.50) and a slice of carrot cake ($4.50) to go. Although prices seemed a bit high and that I could get lemongrass chicken made with real chicken for cheaper somewhere else, I was hopeful for a good quality meal. It took maybe 10-15 minutes for it to be made and packaged, and the cake was already prepackaged in their dessert counter. The packaging itself is paper-based and thus eco-friendly, as are their to-go bags. The lemongrass chicken was a generous portion of soy chunks, deep-fried, and then covered in a pungent lemongrass mixture. The texture of the "chicken" was kind of like a mix between fish and chicken, and was tender on the inside. The pieces were nicely seasoned and had a nice outer crunch from the deep-frying. The "chicken" nuggets were placed on a bed of romaine, with a slice of carrot and cucumber. As for the carrot cake, it was also a generous serving, filled with freshly grated carrot and large chunks of nuts. I loved the light, whipped topping. The ingredients themselves were great, however, it did taste slightly dry to me. One thing to note, is that rice is not automatically included with the entrees, and will cost you $1. Off to the side of the cash register, there's a small section of vegetarian goods, such as fake beef and chicken. They even sell a vegan dog food! So, even if you're an omnivore, it's a good place to get a flavorful meal. I doubt you will miss the meat! And remember, **The Loving Hut is a little old place where we can get together Loving Hut baby, Loving Hut bay-bee!** read more

Amazing place! My dad (from the UK) went 2 yrs ago and hasn't stopped telling me about it. Finally I got to try it myself and it did not disappoint - super tasty food, love what they stand for, spreading the vegan word and the love and such sweet staff! They even have a goodie section for passers by! Love love love!! also Pandan cake is always a win! read more

My husband and I both give a solid five stars. My husband ordered the steak and potatoes and I ordered the chow fun. We also ordered the spring rolls. The bonus is that it was so good that we ordered it twice. Lol The filling was tasty and wow the wrap was crispy and flaky! The food was so FRESH and flavorful. The restaurant was also very clean and the waitress whom I think is the owner was really nice and attentive so we will be happy to come back! read more

Loving Hut has a new fan! I've read comments from fellow Yelpers regarding slow service but can happily say we didn't experience this during our visit. We were seated quickly, ordered our food quickly, and had it brought out very expeditiously. Granted we went on a slow Sunday afternoon. My friend and I ordered some great appetizers to start- she had the summer rolls and I had the spring rolls. Both were uber tasty. The tofu in the summer rolls was excellent and I honestly can say that these spring rolls were the best I've ever had. Really scrumptious! For our entrees, my friend had the "steak" and potatoes (she seemed to really enjoy it) and I had the BBQ Noodles. I thoroughly enjoyed the golden rolls that came atop the rice noodles and the noodles themselves, but wasn't a fan of the vegetable protein "meat" slices. Unfortunately, Fresh Mint in Scottsdale does a similar dish and their faux beef is head and shoulders above Loving Hut. It's seriously unparallelled. Perhaps had I not had anything to unfavorably compare it to, I would have loved it though? I also thought it was weird to include lettuce in a hot noodle dish. They were a totally unnecessary addition. I ate a few bites and didn't ask for a box which I think offended the woman who waited on us. Sorry ma'am- it just wasn't good, no offense intended. I loved everything else I promise! ;-) Anyway, for dessert we ordered the raspberry cake and it was so friggin delish...yum, yummity, yummers! It was sweet, super moist and just incredible. Being the sugar fanatic I am, I cannot wait to go back to try their other desserts! Overall, despite not liking my entrée, I was impressed with the majority of the food and their wildly extensive menu and will definitely be back! read more

This place has very delicious vegan food. Being a vegetarian it's hard to find a place that has as many options as Loving Hut. Everything I've tried from the Pad thai to vegan cheese burger and fries has been amazing. My girlfriend isn't even vegetarian and she loves this place. read more

Sooooo good!!! I'm disappointed in myself for waiting so long to try this place out. The food is amazing and the service was great! What more could you ask for? I had the Heaven Rice Rolls and the Pad Thai. Both were beautifully presented and SO delicious. The tofu on my Pad Thai was much more flavorful than tofu usually is elsewhere. Most importantly, I got a chocolate milkshake to go on my way out, and OH MY GOSH. I've been vegan for a year now, and I don't think I've had a milkshake the entire time. It was amazing. I thought I was full from dinner but I definitely finished the whole thing within 10 minutes. Amazing. Can't wait to come back and try more of what they have to offer! read more

I'm in turmoil on who I should rate this place. The decor and atmosphere is two stars. It smelled disgusting when we walked in, like sulfur or rotten eggs. Then the decor is like 1980's, with the white chairs. Oy - then there's the service. I'm gluten-free, and I had some trouble getting that across. She said that all of the soy protein has wheat in it, so she recommended the tofu dishes. I ended up getting the tofu dish with rice noodles and vegetables. I have no idea if there was wheat in the sauce, but at that point in the meal, I really didn't care. I just wanted to order and get the experience over with. The food came out pretty quickly though. My friend got the spicy cha cha (that looks like shrimp but is actually yam) and it was SUPER spicy and I think it tasted like Long John Silver's fried shrimp basket. BUT she really liked it. My dish was pretty okay, although a little bland. The veggies weren't really great either, but for a vegan dish that's less than $10, I guess it was okay. I had planned on getting dessert, but we were given the check even before she asked if we wanted dessert. After I made some statement about it she asked if we wanted any, and told us they only had two out of the four desserts on the menu anyways. We went without it. And yes, they do have the TV running strange vegan propaganda. Very strange, and I don't really want to look at baby pigs while I dine, but it could have been weirder. I guess. SO - for the price, I guess it is decent vegan cuisine. I guess I wouldn't really know seeing as how I LOVE MEAT, but hey, I'm up for trying everything once. I think if the atmosphere and service was better I would have actually liked the dining experience and the food more. If it was better inside, I'd be tempted to go to this place again. Eventually, I'd like to try the dessert. If they offer it to me. read more

Curry is amazing! Customer service are super nice, place is clean and quiet, definitely coming back and recommending

Been coming here for years, I love their heaven rice roles and the Au Lac noodle soup. My fiancé loves the Frank's steak and potatoes. Portion sizes are good. The staff is friendly too. Be sure to pick up a bag of BeLeaf vegan jerky or a slice of cake on your way out. read more

So glad I finally tried this place. We ended up having the spring rolls which were amazing. We had sweet and sour "chicken" and pad thai per the waitresses recommendation. The pad thai was okay... I was honestly not very impressed by it. It was a bit soggy and meh. However, the sweet and sour was incredible. I wish we had ordered two plates of that! I do not normally find myself a fan of faux meats but the flavour was spot on and was absolutely delicious. The only real complaint I have was that it took FOREVER. Our drinks took at least 15 minutes to get, while our food another 45 minutes after waiting 30 for appetizers. They servers were incredibly kind and apologetic as they had two cooks and a restaurant FULL of people. We were starving so it was little annoying as we just wanted to eat when we arrived. But that all being said, the wait was well worth it. I would love to go back and try something else. Also, the chai matcha type drink was so good!! read more

Loving Hut - Does this look like a face that had any doubts at all for his first time???? - Vegan Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Quaint place, with attentive service! Menu wasn't overwhelming, and the options were exciting! I went with the Pad Thai...I've had bad Pad Thai and good pad Thai, this was GREAT! so so so so good. My boyfriend went with the Lemongrass Coconut Curry and was so happy he did. I quote "I wonder if their desserts are as good as their food is" hehehe we were too full to try. Oh, and we also ordered their spring rolls, very tasty!! Even if you aren't vegan, you won't miss your chicken or steak. These flavors are outstanding! read more

My family and I just moved to the Phoenix area from Los Angeles and we were initially concerned about the scope of vegan restaurants here, and Loving Hut helped put our minds to ease. We ordered the Cha Cha (yam shrimp) and the pad tai with spring rolls and crispy 'cream cheese' wontons. Man those yam shrimp are magic because they taste so much like real shrimp! Its wizardry as far as I'm concerned. The pad thai was more like a curry dish than your typical fare, but we quite enjoyed it. BTW, the pad thai can be pretty hot but they were gracious and reduced the spice level (spicy, flavorful, but not painful). I was particularly impressed with the flavor of the tofu, it seemed like they had been marinated and had a particularly umani flavor! Their variety of sauce and dipping don't disappoint . I cant wait to come back amd try their other offerings like the BBQ beef noodle dish. read more

Really like it. Haven't try some of the "meat" before I never liked it but it was good I had to double check it wasn't meat lol got the golden spring roll it was okay. Really like the Mongolian plate! Over all great service. **Went to try the other loving hut in Tempe but it close from 3-5 I didn't check the time. read more

My friend and I got takeout from here this weekend. The service was friendly and we had our food pretty quickly and took it back to my house to eat. I'm not sure if they are doing dine in right now or not. I've been a vegetarian for nearly 30 years but I think that this place would make a meat eater happy too. I'm not big on fake meat but I got the lemongrass entree and I have to say it was crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. I did wish it had some more vegetables with it other than a few slices of cucumber, but I would definitely order again. I wouldn't say I felt my food was the healthiest but it was a delicious indulgence. I also had a piece of lemon cake which I found to be good but not amazing. (In their defense I'm pretty sure I have a very specific idea of amazing lemon cake). I'll definitely be back. read more

Don't be mislead by the vegan label. Whether you're a carnivore or not Loving Hut is a restaurant worth your time. They take great time and care to make Asian/Vietnamese dishes that are healthy and great tasting. Best in all of Arcadia hands down. Try the pad Thai it's a home run, any way you slice it! read more

The BEST vegan restaurant I've been to in Arizona. I'm not strictly vegan but I do love to eat it often. I'm very picky with vegan meat replacements and usually end up disliking them but the way they made it was so phenomenal I absolutely loved it just as much as actual meat. Everything was so flavorful, I absolutely recommend this place even if you're not vegan. I got to split the Mongolian wok and pad Thai and they were both so amazing but the Mongolian wok stole the show for me. Their drinks are refreshing and unique and everything about this place is awesome. The workers were friendly, helpful and accommodating. Can't wait to go back! read more

I had the purplicous eggplant and my bf had the western burger. Flavors were amazing but I wish the eggplant was cut smaller and wish there was more tofu to even out the ratio. My bf didn't like the fries that came with the burger since it was on the chewy side, maybe because we ordered to go?? read more

I love the fried rice and spring rolls and I'm not even vegan. The food is amazing. The speed of service and level of hospitality leaves A LOT to be desired. I've never had an even a mediocre experience in terms of service. Pregnancy Cravings are the only reason I come back. Update: soy sauce lid wasn't properly placed on the container and now my front seat is soaked in soy sauce. read more

Amaze balls! Our entire family (1 vegan, 1 vegetarian & 2 omnivores) were all able to pig out happily. I'm eating strictly gluten free, ordering from their menu was NO problem! My absolute favorite was the coconut curry soup. The eggplant with tofu was also delicious. Lastly the desserts were awesome. Vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies were my favorite. Really loved the raw GF vegan cheesecake and our kids loved the cake. Do yourself and all animal kind a favor and eat here! read more

If you're looking for a spot that can conquer the 'looks like meat, tastes like meat, BUT it's not meat?!' shock factor, definitely come here. Vegan cuisine continues to surprise me! A group of us went to Loving Hut for our UYE for Veg-Curious night, and while I'm not vegan, I was really excited to try the food because it was highly recommended by our vegan friends. I ordered a Banh Mi Philly. I was completely shocked that the "meat" tasted like meat! In terms of texture, it was closer to sirloin than rib eye, but I wouldn't have guessed that any of it was plant based! In addition I ordered the Peaceful Pink, a delicious mixture of soy milk, cranberry juice, and rose petals. It sounds so simple, but it was another surprisingly good mix! I was lucky enough to sample some other bites, including the shrimp made from yams, that tasted just like shrimp! My only complaint with Loving Hut was that it took some time to prepare the food, but in my experience that's to be expected with vegetarian/vegan places. We did have a rather large group with us, and I'll definitely be going back to try more dishes! read more

This was the venue of the March get-together of the vegetarian UYE group, which gave me an opportunity to finally try it. Since I love fried shrimp, I followed Tigra C's advice and ordered the spicy cha cha; it was delicious, and that fact that it was made of yam protein was a plus for me as I try to avoid wheat-based vegetable proteins such as seitan. I asked for onion rings instead of fries as a side and those were very good as well: firm, crunchy exterior and the onion interior was tender and not stringy. For dessert I ordered the strawberry cheesecake because I was intrigued ... does a raw vegan 'cheesecake' actually taste good and creamy? I'm happy to report that it definitely does! The staff is very friendly though for this visit the service was slow, probably because we were a relatively sizable dinner group. But the quality and flavors of the food have made me decide that I am definitely coming back to try other dishes, including the amazing guru rice that Tigra let me have a taste of. read more

My roomie and I picked up some food to go a week or so ago. Loving Hut was open on Sundays so we decided to give it a try. Ugh! So gross! How does a place like this make vegan food so unhealthy?! Every item was just drenched in oil and fried... I could have gotten food like this from Panda Express or worse. We ordered the sweet and sour "chicken", pad thai, and spring rolls based off of Yelp recommendations. They completely forgot our rice (even though they asked us white or brown on the phone) for the sweet and sour "chicken" so it was basically fried balls of batter in an overly sweet orange sauce. The pad thai had formed itself into one giant ball of noodles and yet still was drenched in oil. The spring rolls were so greasy they left oil on your lips. We actually both got SICK from the food here. We threw away the rest of the leftovers and vowed to never go back.... If you are looking to try great vegan food, try Green New American Vegetarian. Loving Hut is definitely not a good representation of how tasty vegetarian food can be. Don't waste your money! read more

I had a business meeting at this establishment, my friends had visit this this restaurant before and had great things to say about it. I like that the server came by our table everytime we need our waters to be refilled, so we were able to have our meetting without interruptions. I ordered the Hawaiian Burger with the side of fries, great meal, I just wished I had order a second one. The only small problem I had was that I felt that I didn't have enough fries for my burger, but nonetheless I had a great experience at this establishment and this was my first veggie burger. read more

Such a staple place for me! I usually always order the wontons, egg rolls, sweet and sour divine. Amazing Thai tea!!! Love this spot! Friendly owners and staff! read more

Ok, who knew vegan stir fry can be this tasty. I get tired eating salads and quinoa bowl sometimes and Loving Hut is my favorite restaurant for veggie- heavy, cruelty-free and environmentally conscious meals. The owner is always smiling, the place is always clean and the menu prices are very affordable. Their location is easy to find and there is plenty of parking. read more

Love this place. I wish it was open seven days out of the week. Their house fried rice is my go to.

I love the wonton soup, crispy wontons, bbq noodles and Mongolian wok. Many dishes are tasty. Those are usually my top. I always get the wonton soup it's just so so so good!!!! read more

I'm not sure if I've ever been a "regular" anywhere before, but I definitely am at this Loving Hut. The staff is always incredibly friendly and genuinely happy to see guests and help them have some great food. I stop by at least once a week and usually order from a food delivery service once a week too. Everything I've tried is so delicious I can't really pick a favorite. Try the Pandan cheesecake after your meal too. I've never had anything like it and it's fantastic. read more

The owners here are very sweet, but the food sometimes lacks that true asian punch. I requested some spicy curry but I was told that none of the dishes are actually very spicy which was a bit disappointing because I absolutely love spice! I have been vegan for 13 years (switched to vegetarian for the last 5 months) so I am always looking for great vegan spots around town. Although not my favorite vegan restaurant, I will still go back in a pinch if I need something vegan and fast. I have heard there is a Tempe location of this company too, maybe they have different recipes? I'll have to go explore! read more

This place was beyond phenomenal!! Every flavor was on point and the price wasn't bad at all! Will definitely be craving this food. I ordered the Spring Rolls, Summer Rolls, and Chow Mein read more

Visiting from Pa and trying local vegan spots. Loving hut came up and we wanted to try it out. Lots of available seating at 2pm and definitely nothing fancy, but clean, however the service and smells make up for that. They start you off with complimentary lentil soup which was fantastic! I had the loving hut burger and my wife had the sizzling veggies. She asked for extra spice... there was none. She said it was good but a little bland. I recommend this place. read more
