    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

    This was my first visit to Loving Hut on southern. It was a long drive from Peoria but their social media posts made me want to try them out. I love supporting all-vegan restaurants. They were open for dine in. The service was ok. I did not get the dressing for my entree and when I asked about it the server said it doesn't come with it, but then later returned with it and said he made a mistake. The food was good, like the other Loving Huts. It was not anything special that I would need to make a return visit for. If I am in the area again I would choose this restaurant over other Tempe restaurants.

Our group of 8 ended up here when another Tempe restaurant had a kitchen emergency and cancelled our reso an hour before dinner. Alter Ego was able to accommodate us, and we were glad they did. If you enter from the street side you'd never know you're in a hotel restaurant. It's got an upscale, classy vibe not usually seen in hotel dining. The waiter and bartender were attentive and knowledgeable. The menu wasn't huge but it was a great variety of options. Table had some salads, flatbreads, burgers and a round of butter cake desserts. Each was really, really good. Way more sophisticated plates than expected. Also had a bunch of craft cocktails, unique and well made. Sometimes the best experiences are unplanned. But you SHOULD plan to give this place a try.

I got the bang bang shrimp and it was good (6/10). The problem that I have is the pistachio gin fizz was an absolute no! 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.

    I am a HUGE Greek/Mediterranean food fan! Especially when I'm traveling for work (why I'm here in…read morePhoenix), and most food option to order aren't the healthiest, I always find this to at least be a halfway decent alternative. I ordered the chicken Medi bowl and it was so incredibly flavorful. I took the picture before I mixed everything together, but I was glad to see it did mix well. There's nothing worse than getting a bowl and trying to mix all the ingredients together, but you end up just taking giant bites of hummus with nothing else. Their portion size felt like just the right amount, with a good balance of chicken, veggies, quinoa, and a sauce to mix in. I was originally going to immediately give this place 4 stars max, because it's my biggest pet peeve when places don't give silverware with their takeout orders (I luckily had a fork from something else I ordered, but it was flimsy and not made for this bowl for sure). But after eating it, the flavors were out of this world that I did feel like it was deserving of 5 stars. We have some pretty great Mediterranean restaurants in Boise, but I think this definitely competes!

    We discovered this on our day of touring around Tempe before the Innings Festival. Located on an…read morealley of about 10 food establishments on the ASU campus. The inside was small and full of color. We did notice this was a very popular place for students, and it seemed about 80% were by mobile order. There are many things to like about this place but a few that made me also not like it. First off the main part, the food was great. The zesty wrap was a great price and very large, same as the Doner bowl, packed with all of the ingredients both me and my wife were very full after eating our meals clocking in a just over $30 tip included. Now for the downside, the menu posted inside above where they make everything, maybe I'm old, but it was just confusing to me. Then when you walk up to the counter to order they have a hand held menu that makes sense. Easy to understand. Wish I would have seen that first. The main thing that disappointed me was the service or lack thereof. Now I realize they were busy with mobile orders and maybe it's because it's in campus or i don't know. Even after standing from afar looking at the menu for a good 5-7 minutes nothing from the employees. Then walking up to the counter we stood at the register for AT LEAST 5 minutes with an employee less than 5 feet away with no acknowledgment whatsoever. Then when she was ready to take our order she was neither friendly nor happy. Overall Yelp doesnt do half stars but I would realistically give Spitz a 3.5, not 4. Great value and food, but lacking in service
