Review: Ate here on the strength of Happy Cow reviews and found it to be a disappointment compared to the Golden Era we'd ate at previously. The decor is very basic and it's really offputting that the Supreme Master propeganda is on a big screen TV on the wall - very strange! Food was basic and nothing you can't get in other good vegan/veggie locations in SF. The website and menu is impressive but nothing else so be warned. Not recommended.
 
Pros: Food was hot * prompt service * good desserts
Cons: tired decor * dodgy propeganda! *

Review: I went here one Friday afternoon after hearing good things from a friend. My fruit smoothie was much too thick and more like a milk shake (although it was still good... just not what I was expecting). My soup had red dates and goji berries in it which sounded interesting in the menu but it was actually pretty gross and hard to eat. I also got a spring roll appetizer - that was tasty. I would go back again but I would pick other vegan restaurants first, and I would be wary of what I ordered.

Review: So I went there twice on my vacation. Both times I got the pesto pasta, it was so good. I also got a lemonade, it was in an ice cream cup with a cherry and a straw. It looked so cute. I also tried the another dish I forget the name(it was suposed to look like shrimp, with lettuce and chilly, very good) One night I got the mocha cake. It was really good. It was the last one in a plastic container in the case. They took it out, put in on a plate, and drizzled chocolate on the plate. The last time we went we called to see what time they were open till. They were closing in like 20 minutes. They said sure come. It was so nice. When I move out there I am definitely going there more!
 
Pros: great food * friendly staff * great presentation
Cons: * *

Review: i arrived on a sunday evening, i was worried as so many places around were closing up. a 9pm curfew gave us plenty of time. i thought the place had the feel of a fast food joint, and was empty when we arrived. the staff were super nice and within 5 minutes of out arrival another four tables were full.
a good menu with veg/tofu/mockmeat and soup dishes. much more of a south east asian feel rather than chinese. a good selection of starters including a mockmeat share dish. mains were between 8-12us$ and were tasty. i thought mine was a bit oily, nbut eggplant is always a difficult one to judge.
the restaurant was spotless and would deffo give it a try!

 
Pros: staff * selection *
Cons: * *

Review: Really liked this place, though there were a couple negatives. I ordered the tomatoe stew dish, but didn't like it because it was spicy which was not indicated on the menu. Also I was asked if I wanted white or brown rice with my meal and answered without being aware that I would be charged extra for a side of rice. Rice should definitely be free with an entree. Then I ordered a wonton soup to eat instead and that was delicious. The owner/manager was super friendly and was taking the time to talk to all the customers and get to know them. We felt very welcome and were encouraged to linger even though it was pretty late at night which was nice.
 
Pros: service * soup *
Cons: menu needs more info * extra charges *

Review: The Loving Hut is very good: clean, bright, a respite in Chinatown. However, the menu is a little sparse. On Tuesdays, the Golden Era is closed, so Loving Hut is a great alternative restaurant. Their Ocean Basket is good, but a little pricey. Their Franks on Bun is great; their fries are awesome. Try their mocha or carrot cake. It's the same one they serve elsewhere, so they're not made on premises, but they're yummy. Friendly staff, clean bathroom (very hard to find in Chinatown!), good food.
 
Pros: Clean * Yummy desserts * friendly
Cons: Limited menu * some things a bit pricey *

Review: Loved the selection from Asian, American, to Italian. I had been twice in 3 days. I ordered the chicken nuggets and potstickers - both good, but the potstickers were a little burnt. I had wonton soup the first time and LOVED it! The special dish I ordered was better than mediocre, but I wouldn't order it again. The restaurant and bathroom were very clean the service was excellent and so was the vegan mocha cake! Prices were fair.
 
Pros: All vegan * Clean and Excellent Service * Yummy Food
Cons: Parking is difficult * Open Door Can Cause Dining Rooms Gusts *

Review: Loving Hut is a casual restaurant located in Chinatown. It is a clean establishment with a sizable menu and a helpful and courteous wait staff. We were seated promptly and the wait for our food was short. The food was presented nicely, portions were good and everything was tasty. Parking in Chinatown can be a problem, but there are a couple of garages right down the street.
 
Pros: clean * great food * nice staff
Cons: * *
