"worst vegan restaurant in orlando"   My Rating
16 christophe r byron	Posted on: Monday, November 16, 2009
	Review: I went in expecting a great new vegan restaurant in Orlando but i was wrong. The driveway to get in was hidden and it was impossible to turn in/out of. Once we were seated they gave us a free bowl of soup which was pretty rad. the soup had melon, carrots and cilantro in it and was very yummy. They have two flat screen tvs inside with brainwashing vegan propaganda running. I'm vegan and usually like things like that but I dont want to be watching "Meet Your Meat" while im eating lunch. It was just disturbing and disgusting. Service was horrible. It took our waitress a solid 15 minutes to come to our table and the place wasnt busy. We were the only ones there. Our waitress served the wrong plate to me . I ordered the vegan sampler 2 and got the bbq chicken plate. I didn't say anything because I knew it would be another 30 minutes. I asked her to change it on the bill because the plate i ordered was more expensive than the plate i got. They thought I was jipping them out of money and wouldnt give me the dollar refund so i just took it out of the tip. I asked for some soy sauce for my rice so our waitress gave me the little pouring bottle of soy sauce and then i overheard the manager saying that i would steal it so our waitress came back over, poured soy sauce in a little dish and took the soy sauce bottle from us. Why would I want to steal a bottle of soy sauce? All around the experience was horrible. The food wasn't all that great and the portion was very small. I'll never go to this restaurant again. I strongly do not recommend Loving hut. I gave it 2 cows because thats the lowest a 100% vegetarian restaurant can get.   Pros: nothing * * Cons: horrible service * incompetent staff * disturbing television programs inside

"Great find on an Orlando vacation"   My Rating

	Review: Upon arrival, drive past the restaurant and up a skinny driveway to the back of the restaurant. The open parking lot to the left belongs to the Thai restaurant next door. Food, service, cleanliness, and overall quality FANTASTIC! We entered the restaurant from the rear by the parking lot. We were immediately greeted and given menus. They have their regular menu and one featuring quinoa. We sat and looked over the menu and then went up to order. Don't think of this as a McDonald's because it's not. They ask if you have dined there before and if you are a vegan or vegetarian. It was interesting to hear that the employees are all vegan and they carry their beliefs over to eco-packaging of food, etc. We ordered, paid, and were given a light up beeper along with 2 small bowls of soup: a light broth with cilantro, carrots, celery, and tofu. LIght and delicious! We ordered a bunch of different food to try the menu. The large golden tofu with a totally yummy dipping sauce was light and crispy. Also the Delicious Golden BBQ - 2 skewers of "beef" - seitan barbecued and served with brown rice (also served with white rice if requested). This was really tasty! The last appetizer was spring rolls with dipping sauce and they were light and crisp, but nothing extraordinary. Entrees: We ordered the BBQ and Spring Roll Noodles, which we now realize was probably the BBQ beef and spring roll appetizer with noodles. It was really good though. Also ordered and our favorite of the meal was the Bun Hue soup. If you like spicy -- order this. A nice big bowl of soup with "beef" (seitan) and noodles. A plate is served with it that has lime, basil, bean sprouts, and a small bowl of what I think was something like a homemade sambal. My husband ate that separately and it wasn't too hot. The soup was hot - heat and spiciness-wise, but that's what we like. I have never had anything like this before and it was spicy and addictive. To drink my husband had an iced coffee and I had a berry sensation. Not having had a smoothie in ages as a vegan -- I totally enjoyed this and could have had several more! We enjoyed our stay and no one rushed us out the door. Keep in mind that this is not sit down dining with a waitress coming to your table. The tv's are on suprememastertv.com and there is plenty of vegetarian literature to go around. I definitely would go here again without hesitation.   Pros: Great food * Great service * Clean and bright Cons: Sunday hours * Location may seem iffy, but is safe * Need more US locations!

"Simple Friendly and Excellent Food"   My Rating
1 kimbanu	Posted on: Wednesday, May 13, 2009
	Review: I visited this restaurant on its opening day and I was very impressed with the great tasting food and extremely friendly service. Table is joining together in a buffet style but you order food from a menu. I absolutely adore the coconut smoothies. I wish I live closer so I can come there every weekend. Highly recommended to everyone who wants to try out a plant-based diet.   Pros: excellent food * healthy cuisine * great value Cons: * *

"Incredible food, energy and people!"   My Rating

	Review: Well I hadn't heard how great this place was yet so I went not expecting much. Boy was I surprised! From the moment I walked in the door I knew this place was special. They had their eco/green/vegan tv channel playing (the woman who started the restaurant has her own channel on satellite) and it was extremely clean (including the bathrooms!) Always a good sign! I had driven nearly two hours so was glad it was comfy and clean. I ordered the fresh rolls and a few drinks (a delicious vegan berry drink and a wonderful coconut drink (makes me thirsty just thinking about them!) The fresh spring rolls were out of this world! As was the golden tofu (usually I don't get much cooked vegan food but must say this was a real treat) And the vegan flan?! The best I ever had! All my food was well under 20 dollars (and I had dessert and two drinks/smoothies) I highly recommend this restaurant over the other vegan places in town. The only one I like as much is Cafe 118. Otherwise this is the best restaurant in Orlando and definitely the MOST affordable!   Pros: great food * friendly people * very clean Cons: none! * *

	Review: I absolutely LOVED this place. Not only were the staff friendly, but the food was out of this world! I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. The prices are terrific, (I had a 3 course meal for just under $14), too! If you are in the area...this IS the place to eat. I wish I would have returned here for lunch before catching my flight instead of trying to review another local area restaurant. It's a clean and welcoming space. They also have very informative free literature. On my next trip to the area-I WILL be returning here!   Pros: friendly staff * excellent food * great prices Cons: small parking lot * *

"Awesome Vegan Food with a Purpose"   My Rating
7 justingros s	Posted on: Saturday, March 14, 2009
	Review: My friend and I went in the night before their grand opening. We were very impressed. While the menu is not extensive at the moment (they will be adding more dishes) the dishes we ordered were very good. We were also impressed by how friendly the staff was. Everyone we encountered there was cheerful, helpful, and friendly. The place is brand new and very clean and bright. I travel to Orlando every two weeks and I will be making this a regular "night out in Orlando" stop for me. This is definately in the top 3 for Veg places in Orlando. And since I only eat at veg places, they will be seeing me when I'm in town.   Pros: Prices * Location * Friendly staff Cons: * *

"incredible"   My Rating
1 stacymiche lle	Posted on: Sunday, March 01, 2009
	Review: went yesterday for the first time... the menu is overwhelmingly incredible. my friend and i decided to try a bunch of things and everything was great. bbq skewers had some of the best consistency for fake meat i've ever tried. i had the seafood basket.. the chicken fingers, again, one of the best consistencies for a meat substitute i've ever eaten. i wasn't too stoked on the silken tofu, but i don't typically like tofu. i forgot what it was that she got... something with rice. it was incredible. great taste, great texture. for desert we had a slice of cheesecake. it was unreal. i don't usually like cheesecake. my friend drank a pickled lime and i had the coconut drink, both were outstanding. hers was more refreshing while mine was more dessert-ish. the employees were incredible. knowledgeable and friendly. concerned about what the customer thought. asked us for feedback since they're in their soft opening and really listened. even writing this makes me want to go and get more. well worth whatever drive and the pricing is very fair. quit reading this and go ;)... it's a great addition to our already great selections of orlando veg-friendly restaurants.   Pros: great food * great service * Cons: * *
