• Great addition to the food court!!!

I had been to this Loving Hut several times before I moved to SF, and even today I am STILL impressed with their offerings. The food is great, well flavored, and priced right. While my tastes have changed over the years and I've strayed away from fake meat products, I was surprised at how well balanced the vermicelli dish was with the noodles, seitan, peanuts, sauce, spring rolls, etc. Essentially, throughout the day I described this dish as a spring roll in a bowl (with fried rolls on top). It was so good and light...I didn't feel like I was going to fall asleep at my desk at work afterwards, huge plus! Highly recommended as an excellent, decently priced lunch option. Below is my original Happy Cow review posted on 09/15/2010 (HC is an excellent resource when looking for vegan places around the world): Posted on 09 / 15 / 2010 This location is situated in the food court of the popular Westfield San Francisco Shopping Centre. Normally I wouldn't be jumping up an down about food court restaurants, but I'm surely jumping up and down about this one. First thing, this is a great place to go to if you're traveling with someone that is not veg*n, as there are plenty of great choices for them within the food court and there are actually good options. This food court is also connected to the BART stop at Powell, so if you're coming in on the subway, walk on in. As always, the employees at Loving Hut were very nice. One thing I noticed is that they didn't have the TV's broadcasting things from their religion/beliefs - although I don't have a problem with their TV station, I often have a hard time getting some friends to go to their restaurants because of it. The location is very clean, cute, and inviting as well and there were many people ordering food from here (a very good sign). I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak and absolutely fell in love - I'm not sure if I loved it so much because I hadn't eaten for over 14 hours, but wow! The sandwich itself was very flavorful, they even had a garlic flavoring on the bread, the flavor of the sauce was very well done, and the seitan was tasty and had a great texture. The sandwich also came with a side of cole slaw (very good) and two slices of orange. Overall, this place is great and I will surely be eating here at least one more time before I leave - this is also the train stop that goes back to the airport.
