    Wall of Vegans!
    Lo B.

    They have the cutest to-go boxes. I swear that at this location, the vegan food tastes like sunshine. Nothing over-salted, nothing smothered in fake premade condiments, just pure, bright flavors. Save the planet curry with thick rice noodles is still my #1. Delicious and thoughtful. I've seen many come in and have their meal paid for by someone who paid it forward and it's so easy. Come one, come all!

    Pandan cake

    I was in the area today and saw this place was a couple of doors down from where I needed some lab work, so popped in here to grab some food. I remember Loving Huts fondly back in NYC and have gone there before with friends for meals and always enjoyed. Today, when I walked in, place was empty and I was the only customer. I wanted a tofu banh mi and also ordered a slice of pandan cake. I waited for my order in their comfortable eating area and browsed around as they have merch for sale and plenty of books on vegan life and eating. I was a vegan about 10 years ago and since then, have loosened up my diet a little but I will say I still love places like Loving Hut. Deep down, I am a vegan but don't tell anyone...shhh... Banh mi is smaller than the traditional ones but very tasty and stuffed with lots of tofu, caramelized onions, pickled veggies and greens and minus veganaise. Pandan cake was ok, a little dry but the taste was good. I'll probably try to finish it soaked with a little oat milk. Overall, a good dining experience and will come back when I feel nostalgic for Loving Hut.

    For awhile, I've wanted to try this location but it's 20 miles from my house. I've had it on my radar to try after one of the days I report in person to my office as I'm hybrid. Last week, I finally made my way there and absolutely loved it! The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating for my peanut/treenut allergy to ensure a safe dining experience. They were also patient while I looked through the menu to make my decision and offered their personal favorites. Once I placed my order, I began to look at the beautiful decor and atmosphere of the dining area. As well as continued to look at the vast menu of tantalizing vegan options - yum! Dining to fuel both your body and soul is something you don't find every day. Loving Hut lives up to its namesake in a couple different ways. Pay It Forward - Buy a future meal for someone in need. I was able to pick out a meal from the menu to purchase for someone in need to choose at a later time to provide a nutritious meal for them. In addition, they donate all food scraps to prevent food waste and help Better Piggies Rescue. As well as sponsoring piggies monthly as well. Love seeing giving back to the community for both humans and animals. Overall, I loved my experience and would recommend to others!

    Oinks in a blanket
    Cecilia L.

    I have ordered from the Phoenix location once before, but this was my first time here and dining in. An all vegan restaurant makes my heart happy, but it makes it hard to choose what to order because I want to try everything! I ordered the oinks in a blanket, the crispy egg rolls, and the fried rice. It's been YEARS since I had pigs in a blanket, and these took me straight back to my childhood. The croissant was "buttery" and flaky, and the "hot dog" was thin but tasted like the real deal. Yum! The crispy egg rolls lived up to their name and were packed with filling. The fried rice was a huge portion, and again it brought me back to childhood. I haven't been able to order fried rice in forever, and the ham was good and again tasted like the real stuff (or as close as it could). Flavorful and delicious. Saving the rest for tomorrow. It's cafeteria style where you order at the counter and take a number and deliver it to the table, so I can't speak on service in the traditional sense. But the staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were clean and the dining area itself is very zen and chill. Will definitely be back!

    Always amazing food. The BEST vegan restaurant. Even non vegans would love this place. The employees are always so sweet and give me the best customer service I have ever had.

    It looks like chicken, and taste like chicken.

    Loving Hut in Tempe is an absolute vegan gem! Their menu offers a remarkable variety of plant-based options. To begin with, the variety of options on the menu is outstanding. I wanted to play a trick on my brother and mom, so I ordered a few items that closely resembled meat and poultry dishes. They couldn't tell the difference, and it was a brilliant way to showcase the flavors and satisfaction of vegan cuisine. I've ordered the golden vermicelli, fake chicken Golden Beauty and the Amazing Saute. All were delish! The restaurant's positive ambiance, adorned with affirmations, creates a welcoming and uplifting atmosphere. Moreover, their collection of vegan literature and plant-based products for sale amplifies the experience, making Loving Hut not just a restaurant but a hub for all things vegan. The staff's passion for veganism shines through, ensuring a friendly and knowledgeable dining experience. This vegan haven has won my heart, and I eagerly anticipate my next visit to explore more of their delectable menu.

    We didn't get picks of the food but this is how our set up was and the food was 10/10!

    I placed a catering order for a birthday in late February and I've been meaning to write this review for some time! Not only did the owner, Linh, work with me every step of the way and created a fantastic menu of delicious vegan meals for our guests, she was so incredibly patient and listened to my needs! Our guests LOVED the food, especially the birthday girls and raved about the quality. Thank you guys for making the birthday catering so easy and flawless and providing such delicious options. I fully recommend loving hut!!! 10/10 experience!

    The short and sweet: if you're vegan and you've never eaten at a Loving Hut (it's a vegan chain but not all homogenized like a McDonald's, each one will have a slightly different menu and there are no standardized recipes across the chains), you've gotta try it at least once! It's not everyone's cup of tea but I greatly appreciate an establishment that chooses to be all vegan. It's typically Asian fusion food, with some American options like burgers/sandwiches. The salads tend to be super fresh as well. The long and detailed xD Normally I would give this place 4 stars but because I'd like to give some extra support to a fully vegan place I think they deserve a 5! It takes commitment and conviction to be a vegan establishment. I'd know, my family owned the first fully vegan restaurant in Pittsburgh, PA and worked it for 7 years, way before being vegan was "normal" My brother and I took my dad here because he's very strictly vegan and won't eat at a place that isn't fully vegan for spiritual reasons. When you walk in the menus are displayed and you order at the counter, pay, and then get a number to place at your table (indoor and outdoor availability). Water is self-serve. They also ask that you place your dishes into collection bins when finished. The workers here all seem very happy and have a nice energy to them! The place is also decorated nicely. It's super cute inside with greenery throughout and feels very clean. Dad ordered the pho, I got the bun hue (spicy noodle soup), and my brother got the pad Thai. Loving Huts in general tend to be big on using tofu and mock meats, so if soy is not your thing your options will be more limited or you'll have to ask for modifications. They're usually very willing to accommodate. The pho definitely satisfied my dad's craving! We all enjoyed our entrees and ate every single bite. The flavors are good, granted a little mild, especially considering my soup is supposed to have a spicy kick to it. We also ordered the chow mein to-go and it smelled delicious!

    I love this restaurant with its welcoming and friendly staff, expansive menu and upbeat decor. They have childrens books, positive artwork and eco-conscious directives throughout the space. The food is plentiful and very friendly to vegans, vegetarians and those who just prefer a meatless meal. The prices are reasonable and the location is convenient. Will definitely return!

    BBQ rolls- very good

I am a HUGE fan of pistachio and gin so immediately I had to get his drink but it was beyond mediocre. Are we drinking only syrup??? My last complaint is the coconut tres leches dessert.... Do we actually know how to make tres leches or we just naming desserts however we want? Just curious. It came out super hot, steaming more like a molten cake. As a Hispanic woman, I was expecting a creamy moist cake to celebrate my graduation but this was not it as well. Last but not least if the bald manager with the orange shirt wants to eat in the back of the kitchen, not the problem I get it (I work at restaurants) HOWEVER shoving your two index fingers into your mouth to get your debris out was my last straw. Like I said I like this restaurant and never had problems but today felt like a fever dream there.

Afterwards, he mentioned that he tasted it and agreed about our comments- I appreciate that level of attention. Shortly after, the food arrived. Spicy pork tacos for me, and BLTA for my wife.

Sprouts, carrot and cucumber toppings worked well, despite my expectations. The BLTA was HUGE. Great flavor. Both entrees were ordered with sweet potato fries. Unusual cut to them, but seasoned perfectly. I paired mine with chipotle aioli and ate every last one.

My server, likely named Natasha, was immediately warm and personable, which set a good tone. I ordered the fish tacos, roasted Brussels sprouts, and charred green beans. The dishes arrived in about 13 minutes--a reasonable turnaround--but I was surprised that the tortillas were cold, and the green beans were only lukewarm. The portion sizes are modest, which actually works well for solo dining since there's no pressure to share. While my server was excellent, the overall front-of-house experience had some rough edges. Walking in through the patio, I encountered a host stand blocking a door--odd given that the restaurant has a more attractive main entrance on the opposite side. Staff were sometimes gathered near the front while guests waited, and at one point, employees were eating at the bar top rather than in a back area, which felt unprofessional for an otherwise stylish space. Eureka! has potential, and the food has bright spots, but details like presentation temperature and guest perception of staff behavior are where the experience falters.

It has been around for DECADES and there is no question as to why it is still there. When visiting the Chuck Box know that it is cash only (ATM on-site), and super popular. There WILL be a line. The line does move extremely fast, due to the fact that the line cooks are definitely not waiting until you get to the counter to take your order. They will call out to anyone in line (regardless of where in line you are) and take your order, yelling it out if needed. It is such a unique and fun experience. The burgers are not overpriced and are phenomenal! It is self serve toppings, after you pay for your order you can go to the topping bar and add as much to your burger as your heart desires. They additionally have other food on the menu such as veggie burger, chicken sandwhiches, chicken tenders, onion rings, fries, fried zuchinni, fried mushrooms, and more. I have had both the fried zuchinni and mushrooms and I would definitely recommend both options! Since it really popular, be aware that there is limited seating and it is crowded. It is additionally extremely warm (especially during the summer) inside the building due to the grill.

Two of my tomatoes had active mold growing on them. It was too dark inside to see it but we ate in the car and saw the moldy spot then. The fries are good but way too salty. We really liked the fried mushrooms. But we made our own dipping sauce which was better than the ranch they give you: mix 2/3 mustard and 1/3 Mayo. Tangy and delicious. We get these at "The Windmill" when we go to the jersey shore and the sauce that comes with the fried mushrooms is a horseradish sauce which is amazing (hint hint, Chuck Box). I would eat here again but bring a flashlight to inspect the produce and lower my expectations. It was good, not great. It smelled kind of off in here also. The AC and vents probably need to be cleaned.
