Loving Hut - Thien Dang

My Loving Hut experience here was comparable to that I had in the Hanoi branch - overall, pretty underwhelming.

It's a small place, nothing fancy, pretty hard to find in a district that most people passing by won't venture to. However, it's nearby where I work so I thought I'd give it a go.

The waitress there was really polite and even with her limited English was very accommodating to me and my friend. It was, however, a little annoying that 4 out of 5 dishes we ordered were unavailable and it took her a good 15-20 minutes to come back and tell us. This is pretty common in Vietnam and, unfortunately, is rather annoying. So, we didn't get off to a great start.

Having said that, the menu is extensive and reasonably priced, like the other Loving Huts I've been to in Vietnam, but the vast majority of it seemed to be unavailable. In the end, I went with a vegan pizza, which was fairly good - not out of this world, but okay. Not sure what they use in substitute of cheese - it was a little creamy, like a béchamel sauce - I hope it was vegan. As for my friend, she wasn't very impressed with her food.

I'd say go to the Loving Hut in D1...much better atmosphere, more attentive staff (see my review on Loving Hut Hoa Dang) and personally I enjoyed my experience there a lot more.

I live in HCMC and it was a bit tricky to find for the cab driver but worth it. English is spoken and the small menu had a gooď choice. Most expensive item on the menu is 40000 dong or 2 US dollars. Inside had seating for 20+ people. It is very clean and tidy and very nicely decorated. I will be back...often.

나는 한국이었다, 나는 채식주의 자, 나 베트남에 가서 처음으로, 나는 인터넷에 일자와 사랑 헛은 당신의 음식을 아주 좋은, 깨끗하고, 음식과 함께, 하나님 배운 아주 맛있는, 웨이터는 매우 아름답고 알맞은했다.

   맛있는 채식 음식을 제공 주셔서 감사합니다, 나는 확실히 여기에 먹고 많은 한국 친구를 추가하는 것이 좋습니다.

당신은 인신 매매를 번성 바랍니다.
