Always delicious, it's hard to decide what to eat because there's a huge menu full of awesome options (which I've tried most of 😅)

Love is in the air! - Edit
No frills/fuss type of place. Order at the counter. Food came out really quickly. Bonus if you are in a rush. Good flavours and textures. Big portions. Better value than Brother Bon. Good place for sharing dishes with friends.
Read morePros: Big menu , Good value , No risk of getting eggs/dairy
Cons: A little grubby and rough around the edges

Great menu and lovely staff - Edit
I hadn’t been here for a while and I’m annoyed on what I’ve been missing out on!
Read moreWe ordered the crispy fried wontons to share. I liked the flavour of them. Their menu is great. I ended up choosing the vegetable curry with roti which had a really nice flavour. I loved the tofu in it. Perfect amount of spice too. My partner had the Assam curry which he enjoyed.
I ordered an iced coffee with soy and I liked you could specify no sugar. My partner had the chocolate smoothie.
Staff were so lovely.
Pros: Staff!

Best vegan food - Edit
This is easily my favourite vegan place in Melbourne. Always my go to because not only are they vegan but they consider food allergies like gluten, onion and garlic.

So soooo yummy! - Edit
We ordered Loving Hut after reading some review on Uber Eats, and decided to try a few dishes. The food was so delicious and the packaging was fantastic - all eco friendly and reusable. We ordered the Gaeng Ped (red curry) with coconut rice which was delicious, and the Chow Mei Fun (noodles) which was also fab. We loved that you can order steamed veggies of your choice rather than receiving a restaurant determined selection. All in all, a great meal and we will absolutely order again!

Huge variety of Asian dishes - Edit
Menu (all on QR code) contained a massive variety of southeast Asian dishes, was hard to know what to choose! Char kway teow had great smoky wok taste and was a decent size. Definitely want to go back.

Worth a revisit - Edit
I actually kind of boycotted LH for a few years before I read that its restaurants in Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand didn’t give money to the Supreme Master. I’ve snuck in a couple of visits over the last year and the food is not too bad and the menu extensive. Some of the dishes have been around since the place opened, like the Crispy Delight, which is certainly appealing crispy, if almost a little dessert-like in its cinnamony sweetness. Along with this we ordered (via the QR code) the fried wontons, which were pretty nice. Our mains, the Malaysian vegetable curry and the Thai green curry were fine and everything was in the right place: plenty of vegetables and various forms of tofu in a tasty sauce. Only slight issue is that the servings of rice didn’t quite last the stretch of the curries (sure, not uncommon, but they were pretty small), and our (very good) roti were put to the test in soaking up the sauce. There’s still plenty left to try, so I’ll be back to continue making my way through the menu.

Honestly pretty average - Edit
The restaurant overall is very dated, the vibe certainly wasn't amazing and I was pretty disappointed given the high happycow score this restaurant has.
Read morePros are it's fully vegan, the food is serviceable but overall nothing special, don't think I'll be back, certainly can't beat it's competition nearby in Fitzroy or Collingwood.

Possibly the best Asian vegan food I’ve experienced - Edit
The staff were friendly and happy to help. The shop style is informal so no need to dress fancy. But the unpretentious exterior hides a flavour experience that will knock you socks off!

Fabulous mock and faux food - Edit
This place has an astounding range of food. You could go there every day for a week and not have two meals remotely similar. The rendang is similar to anything you might get in Malaysia and the pineapple rice is a meal in itself. Protein is not a problem here. The Burmese salad as so many different types of vegetables nuts and fruit in a terrific dressing. It makes a great antidote to the protein heavy dishes elsewhere on the menu. The deserts are ultra tasty. Sometimes the entrees and mains come out either together or with the mains before the entrees but that’s just a little niggle.. and the staff are so lovely that you don’t really care.
Read morePros: So much choice, So tasty, Great vibe

Beautiful Asian Meal - Edit
My partner and I recently visited here for the first time and loved it. Food was 10/10 exceptional, felt like we were right back overseas on holiday. The staff were all so friendly as well, the service felt very personalised. I felt the prices were really reasonable and we both left feeling very full! Only downside is the decor could definitely use an upgrade. Overall will definitely be returning!

INCREDIBLE - Edit
I love Loving Hut!!
Read moreThe staff here are always so nice and friendly and up for a chat about veganism. They were also always happy to point out which products they have for sale in their frozen section that they use in different dishes (you can buy the chick’n they use in that delicious satay!!!!)
The food is ALWAYS exceptionally presented with amazing flavours.
Definitely 100% try it out if you’ve never been, one of the best vegan restaurants in melbourne.

I go here as often as I can. I have my favorites (love the wonton soup and the satay skewers!) but the whole menu is vegan with plenty of options to try for variety.
