Loving hut is a staple for vegans. So delicious. Their fried mushrooms are amazing but my favorite is the clay pot.

One of the best options - Edit
Super wide variety of vegan asian food with kind and friendly staff. Good selection of different proteins or can go for a veggie heavy choice. I tried the veggie plate and it was great.

Perfect choice - Edit
Stating the obvious here: perfect choice for vegan asian food. We had orange "chickens", mapo tofu and vegetable bowl - all great. The place was weirdly empty (during lunchtime) but the food was excellent.

Great - Edit
The food was really good. We found some of the dishes spicy, but that’s what we were expecting. Good service and good soup. Recommend checking it out the food was fresh and very tasty.

Dreaming of Seasme Chicken - Edit
Delicious food! We got Pad Thai and Sesame Chicken to share. Very quiet place decorated with vegan celebrities. I was very impressed with the mock shrimp in the pad thai. Paid parking is available up the street for $2/hr.

Comida saborosa! - Edit
Fomos almoçar.
Read moreO espaço podia ser bastante melhorado. Alguma desarrumação com muitos caixotes à vista.
Ementa extensa. Comida saborosa e doses generosas. Não gostámos das sobremesas ( percebia-se que já tinham alguns dias…).
Serviço bom.

Fried mushrooms are amazing - Edit
We had the fried mushrooms and some fried rice and the fried mushrooms were one of the best things I’ve eaten. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with a great savoury taste of oyster mushrooms topped off with a sweet and sour sauce.

Loved it! - Edit
Loved the Ocean Basket and banana fritters (with ice-cream) for dessert. The food was wonderful.
Read moreThe online menu/ordering was clunky to navigate, especially on my phone. The website really could use a little bit of lovin’ (especially since it’s a fully take-out place)!
Pros: delicious
Cons: parking 😳

Love this small eating spot! - Edit
Although this location may be small, it's huge in selection, friendliness and taste. This is my husband's favorite vegan spot (and he's not vegan!) If you come here you NEED to try the crispy mushrooms!! They legit taste like calamari. The orange chicken andbtheir mock meats are well seasoned and flavored.
Read morePros: Offer vegan dog kibble , Friendly staff, always willing to help, Theybhave take-out as an option
Cons: Must go with time, parking can be tricky

Amazing vegan Chinese food - Edit
Before visiting the Japanese tea garden, we had lunch at the Loving hut. The food was amazing! With four people we tried out various dishes and they were all really good! I can really recommend eating here.

Great vegan place as we know it from Europe - Edit
We love this chain, especially in the Czech Republic. It was nice to see one here too. They don't seem to have a buffet as we know it but rather a regular menu to order from. Currently they only sell "to go", so we couldn't sit inside. Not sure why, maybe still because if covid.
Read moreBut you can sit down in the bar next door, they have some kind of agreement.
The staff was super friendly and the food was great 👍 I had a potato soup and a great baked banana dessert with ice cream. Loved it.
Pros: Many options, Many good looking desserts, Very helpful

Another great Loving Hut - Edit
It was great for the seafood cravings that SF left in me. Food might be a bit greasy, but it was great for what it is! Loving Hut usually never disappoints

Delicious food, thoughtful, personal service! - Edit
I ordered online several dishes for a large party. She phoned me to confirm my order and offered to provide serving trays as a convenience for me at no extra charge. When I picked up my order, she had packaged the trays so that hot food was separated from cold food, in two separate cartons and were ready on time. When I unpacked the trays, I found she had decorated the food with steamed greens so the trays would look nice on the serving table. I was blown away by the service and the food!

Great! - Edit
The service was very nice and there were so many options. I tried the bun hue and the lemongrass tofu. There was no indoor dining but there was covered patio seating. The flavors were good and the portions were not too small or too big. I would come back to try more.

Delicious! - Edit
This location is currently takeout only. I ordered the eggplant tofu with brown rice and the pumpkin cheesecake. The eggplant tofu amazing and was enough food for 2 meals for me! The pumpkin cheesecake was also delicious, it tasted like pumpkin pie but not as sweet (super good with some non dairy whip if you bring your food home)! The food was all amazing. I tried one of my family member’s fresh spring rolls and I was a bit disappointed that those weren’t served with peanut sauce, but everything else was perfect.
Read morePros: all vegan, tons of options, pumpkin cheesecake

Our local fav - Edit
A long and diverse menu. I recommend the fried mushroom and basil, the wonton soup (not to be confused with the wonton noodle soup), so many to choose from. Friendly service. Try their homemade cheesecake! We were so amazed and relieved when we found the one in Paris.

Tons of options on the menu, great vegan Chinese food.

Amazing Vegan Food!! The soups are amazing - Edit
Love Loving Hut and I've visited this chain all around the US, Europe, and even several locations in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Each location has been different but I've never been disappointed. I ordered from this location through DoorDash. We got the BBQ steam buns, Won Ton Soup and Bun Hue Spicy Noodle Soup. Everything was absolutely amazing!! I was working and couldn't eat right away, and even an hour later the food was still hot and so delicious! They do Take Away very well, especially important during COVID.

Great food and place - Edit
It was great. The plates were huge, some really spicy. The place was nice and even if it was a little crowded, it was private.
