"Decent Place"   My Rating

	Review: This place has a lot of good east and southeast Asian vegan dishes, ranging from the commonly found chow mein to the not so commonly found bun hue soup (which I had one time--it's a Vietnamese soup). There are a few Western dishes as well. The portions and price are both quite reasonable, and the food was tasty. The service is fast. It'd be nice if they added a few Malaysian and/or Indonesian dishes (after all, this chain has branches in those countries).   Pros: tasty * reasonably priced * vegan Cons: could expand variety slightly * no alcohol (not too much of a con) *

"Awesome!"   My Rating

	Review: Loving Hut is our favorite restaurant in San Diego. They have fast, friendly service, good food and great prices. Their Clay Pot "Fish" is divine, Sweet & Sour Soup is delicious and their Pandan Cake is a unique treat "to live for". The place is always spotlessly clean. Their organization's main goal is to promote veganism and save the animals and planet. These people really have their heart in it. They work hard and try their best to please every customer. They are obviously not out just to make money. I am mostly a raw fooder and usually don't eat much soy. They have some wonderful salads. But, everything is so good and cheap...I just can't resist the cooked foods!   Pros: Fast * Cheap * Delicious Cons: NONE! * *

"You'll have to watch animal abuse videos!!"   My Rating

	Review: My vegan partner and I went there tonight, SO excited that a new vegan restaurant had opened in San Diego. Soon after we ordered we realized they were showing videos of horrific animal abuse on two huge wall mounted TVs. I'm talking cutting up live cattle, and other stuff I won't mention. It was surreal!! We jumped up and told the staff we couldn't bear to watch the images. They were apologetic, and one worker said "We don't usually have this video on at this time" whatever that means! Anyway, we took our food to go. I'm sorry to say it wasn't very good. Perhaps after the restaurant has been opened longer the food quality will improve. The workers were nice and insisted on giving us free dessert to make up for our horror, so I won't comment on the dessert's quality. On the other hand, the restaurant staff seemed really friendly and seemed genuinely apologetic for the offense we took at having gruesome animal abuse videos playing as we dined, though also a little surprised that we were offended. The restrooms and dining area looked very clean. It was beyond bizarre--how could the operators of a vegan restaurant possibly think that its patrons want to watch graphic scenes of animal abuse while they eat?   Pros: Friendly staff * Clean * Good portions Cons: animal abuse videos * food wasn't good *

The chain of Loving Hut restaurants and many others that have different names (Vegetarian House) and owned by different people are run by a CULT! Hence the obvious propaganda displayed throughout their restaurants through posters, videos, and pamphlets. Google "Supreme Master Ching Hai" for info.. response by astronaut - report abuse -

	Review: The Loving Hut isn't officially open yet, they still have to finish some items for the inspector. So, they are open for dinner only. The menu has appetizers, soups, salads, and combos. I had the Lemon Grass "chicken". It came on a bed of lettuce, slices of cucumber, and slices of tomatoes. You can get a side of rice, if you want. It was really flavorful and crunchy. My husband had the Spicy Cha Cha, it was also on a bed of lettuce, minced peppers, and breaded "shrimp". He really was impressed on how tasty the dish was. We also got the drumsticks, which was made with mushrooms and an unknown item. We both didn't care for it. The other appetizers looked decent. We will try the other options next time. The prices are very reasonable, for the both of us it was $20 and some change. The staff was really friendly. It's nice to have another vegan restaurant in our neighborhood, it will definitely be on our regular rotation.   Pros: Affordable * friendly staff * Flavorful food Cons: small parking lot * *
