This is the same as any other Loving Hut, with one exception- they sell their "beef chips" (for lack of a better term) by the gallon zip lock bag for $10. They are easy to rehydrate at home and are very tasty.
Our food was good, our server was friendly, the place was clean.
One of the best vegan restaurants in Arizona (Madras Ananda Bhavan is an awesome vegan restaurant also).
Clay pot sensation, curry soup, summer rolls, heaven rice rolls, philly dream, bbq noodles and Hawaiian burger are all excellent.
We go to both locations (Glendale and Phoenix) regularly since both have slightly different menu options (Glendale has delicious Pho and their Carrot Cake is incredible).
Loving Hut serves amazing food! We have been to locations in San Diego and Orlando and all are DELICIOUS.
I am very familiar with the Loving Hut chain and I know that each restaurant can differ. That being said, I was disappointed with the food the last few times that I visited this location. My wontons were over-cooked (burnt 1 night), & the Hawaiian burger is no longer a burger at all. It was a weird faux-chicken type of protein which promptly fell to pieces when attempting to eat it. The Noble broccoli was good, I just wish it came with rice. It's a little over $1 extra, which isn't bad, but sometimes I forget to ask for it.
The service is always friendly; that remains constant.
I spent a week w/ a non vegan friend and she took me to Loving Hut. She is now open to vegan foods, wow, and will be going back. I myself loved the lentil soup. Basic decor, friendly staff. The place was over half full so the staff was a bit stretched. As a vegan it is nice to know you can easily order off the menu and for that I am thankful. Lots of parking.
Pros: good value, tasty foodThe food was great!! The best thing about the food is all the different types of mock meats. Definitely the best I've had at any restaurant. The restaurant itself was clean, very quiet though.
We tried Loving Hut before a play last week; we were very impressed! The hostess seated us right away, and promptly took our order. We started with the summer rolls which were excellent, as were our Thai teas. I had the Chow fun (mixed veggies and tofu) and hubby had the Claypot sensation (bean curd w/yummy spicy sauces) and both were great. The dining room was quiet and clean, decent ambiance but it would have been nice to have some music playing rather than a religious video (some refer to it as 'propaganda'). Overall a good experience with tasty food, we'll definitely be back.
Pros: Good food, Quick service, Cleanhis is, hands-down, the most uncomfortably stark, awkward,1980's hospital-esque diner I've ever stumbled upon in my life.
The food was tasty and the menu is more varied than any other vegan restaurant in town... but somehow, that doesn't cut it. I thought I knew what I was going to try next time, but in retrospect, I'd rather not subject myself to that atmosphere much more than I'd like to try the soy protein fish.. which is somewhat disappointing, because I really did want to try that fish.
Pros: 100% Vegan, Huge Menu, Very HealthyVeggie House has been a Phoenix staple for many years. Their old location on 7th Ave burned several years ago; they then moved to the current location on Indian School. We owe them a lot; for years they were the only 100% vegetarian restaurant in Phoenix.
Their food is a mixture of various Asian cuisines, and they have made attempts to "Americanize" some of the dishes so that they are adjusted to our taste. This is not true of all of them though, so be prepared - some of the food tastes like the genuine article from Hanoi or Singapore or Guangzhou. The atmosphere is also truer to Asia than to American romantic notions of Asia. I enjoy the veggie eel as an appetizer and ginger duck as an entree, though other items have been good too. Being more authentic the dishes are flavored by sauces rather than drowned in them. I much prefer this, as it allows the foods to be tasted (rather than just the sauce) and of course the food is healthier.
This restaurant is the outreach program of a religion called Ching Hai (it is not Buddhist; the description is incorrect). I believe it is a method of meditation. I've never seen an attempt made to "convert" anybody; this is a restaurant not an airport. They just have a TV running in the bar area that shows their channel, usually with the sound turned off; you're free to watch if you want. The staff have always been peaceful and friendly so I was surprised to see other reviews mentioning unfriendly staff; we have never experienced this. Several of the staff have been there for years; that is extremely rare in a restaurant.
We visit Veggie House several times a year and enjoy it. I would recommend Veggie House to any vegetarian who would appreciate such a unique experience. See you there!
Pros: Food, Staff, LocationIt's got a little bit of a culty-vibe going on, but the staff was really friendly. I thought the food tasted good, aside from being pretty dry. I ordered vegetable tempura and a chicken dish. We got it to go, so we didn't really have to deal with the awkwardness.
Pros: friendly staff, good valueIts a bare bones establishment, but go for the Lemon Grass Faux Chicken and you'll be happy you did!
The first time I tried this restaurant I had great food. The lobster was delicious--but tasted like steak (I'm fairly new to vegetarianism). The lemongrass chicken was also amazing, I would compare it to fried chicken, with more flavor. The second time I went, we hit some misses; sweet and sour pork, I forget exactly what, but it was a chicken with peanuts, and beef and broccoli. These were all very bland. We went during lunch and our favorites were apparently not available, however... I heard someone a table over order the lemongrass chicken even though it was not on there. Anyway, good to know for next time. The lunch soup, I believe it was lentil was also pretty darn good. So, I may experiment a bit more, but the top three so far are: Lemongrass Chicken, Lobster, and Lentil Soup (I believe, it's whatever is served with lunch.)
Oh and this place has a very awkward, culty feel, but don't let it bother you. Also, they are very nice, but service can take a while.
Pros: decent prices, rather large proportions, healthy
