Great Vegan Food - Edit
This place has an excellent mix of Asian dishes and more American-style comfort food. I haven’t had everything on the menu, but everything I’ve tried has been great. The Cajun chicken pasta and fettuccine alfredo are some of the best pasta dishes I’ve had, and the portions are very nice and filling. Every time I plan on trying something else, I always go back to those two pasta dishes because they’re so good. However, last time I did also try the grilled steak sandwich, and that was also incredible, so I look forward to trying something new whenever I return. The desserts here are also fantastic, with the carrot cake being some of the best cake I’ve ever had. Overall, it’s a very filling restaurant with some incredible flavors.

Tasty vegan food! - Edit
I was impressed by the food here. The potato and kale soup and the pepper steak were incredible, and I highly recommend. The restaurant was clean and staff were friendly. Only downsides were that it smelled kind of like acetone, probably due to the cleaner they use, and they use single serve dishes (though they were biodegradable and compostable if you have a place to take them)

Loving hut in the very beginning was great. It was located within a community. The atmosphere had a spirituality to it. But for a while now the food is not been up to its beginning standards. The atmosphere has lost its shine. Yesterday was my last try going to loving hut. White bean chili use to be out of this world now it’s too salty, pepper steak was so tough I had to trash it along with the soup. I think it’s time to move on and I really enjoyed the restaurant. I send them good will

Best vegan food I've ever had - Edit
My wife and I have been vegans for about 2 years in South florida. I was a pescatarian for about 6 years before that. We have so many vegan places around us and we're worried about finding one in columbus. This was easily the best vegan food we've ever had. We went two nights in a row even though there are other vegan restaurants because we just figured there's no one that would be able to top it. We ordered so many different things and everything was amazing. Absolutely can't wait to go back

Big menu, delicious food - Edit
We went last night to the Loving Hut for the first time and let me tell you , it’s really good! They have a large menu and a couple of daily specials. We got the vegan orange chicken, vegan pepper steak , a strawberry smoothie , chai tea and a tiramisu cake. I have not had tiramisu since I turned vegan over 3 years ago. So good! Highly recommended. Go check it out even if you’re not vegan 🌱

Great family owned restaurant - Edit
Loving Hut has been a staple in Columbus for many years. It's family owned and operated, and they are the kindest people. Loving Hut's menu has remained pretty consistent throughout the years, with a few changes here and there. They have some fan favorites like the American Panini, Pepper Steaks, and their signature desserts like carrot cake.

All the food was great, everyone was kind - Edit
I ordered enough for 3 people for just myself. Everything was great. Soup was a little spicy, but still good, It was the coconut curry, i ended up dipping some of my chilli fries in it too!
Read moreWaitress was great, the younger staff members very kind as well.
Been stopping at this place for years when traveling from NJ to Columbus/Dayton OH area. Everyone there is kind like family. Its a really nice place to eat for the whole family too.

Wonderful vegan food - Edit
I ordered the portabella steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus and it was soooo good. Probably the best vegan comfort food I’ve had in Columbus so far other than at lifestyle cafe. They deserve a better location for the quality of their food for sure. Overall great experience and delish food.

Always a hit! - Edit
I've been here several times with different people and everyone has loved it. Everything is on point, which can be tricky with such a wide and varying menu. The General Tso' Tofu is to die for. I wish I ate here more, but it's a bit of a drive for anyone on the North side.

My partner and I are new to clean eating. She was craving Chinese or steak. I wanted general Tso and she got the pepper steak and rice! They both were amazing. The lady was very nice and cheerful. We’ve been back multiple times since our first visit. It’s always pleasant
