Decent food court option

Food is alright, but definitely a good option if in the mall. Their fried rice and noodles are pretty bland but the entrees on top have some decent flavor

Always amazing!

Every Loving Hut I’ve dined at over the years has been an absolute pleasure & treat! The food is fresh & delicious & their vegan mission is wonderful to support. Top notch every time!

Typical "Matt Food Court Fast Food" but with a vegan focus

The food is plentiful and won't leave you hungry. We both liked our meals though admittedly they were very greasy/oily. Half our order from the menu was not available and so we had to substitute - so be prepared to change what you want to order. It's conveniently located near the Target. I had the chow mein and my husband had the Mongolian beef. We both liked the mains. The corn dogs and also brown rice were not available or no longer available. The satay poppers were very greasy and the satay sauce didn't taste peanuty. The got the spring rolls as substitute for the corn dog poppers and they were incredibly greasy.

Pros: Convenient, main dishes decent, large portion sizes

Cons: Very greasy/oily so perhaps not so healthy, Didn't have available items listed on menu

Hospitality from the employee

I went there for lunch and the caterer was very clutch. He offered to pour some curry into my rice. He was also nice enough to let me have free samples to decide which juice I wanted to order. Food was overall amazing too with great selections. Typical fast food style vegan restaurant.

Delicious!

The only vegan only restaurant in the mall, and it’s really good ❤️

I tried the 2 combo with base and spring role. The Mongolian delight or wonder as amazing 🤩

Awesome quick vegan take out

Limited menu, but every option is amazing. Desserts sell out fast though, so they often don't have every option available.

Go for the vegan jerky

It’s great to have a vegan place in the mall when I visit the area. They sell some of the best vegan jerky I’ve ever had and it’s reason alone to go. I also love the Japchae and Mongolian “beef”.

Pros: Vegan jerky , Japchae

Cons: Limited menu

Ok

Great to see some vegan mall food. The workers there were excellent and very helpful. This place lost the two stars because the food wasn’t that great.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Great service

Cons: Expensive , Food isn’t great

Vegan Mall Food For the Win!

Loving Hut is one of the best spots to get a variety of Asian inspired vegan dishes for an amazing price. Simply put - the food here was fantastic and plentiful.

Their two-item combo ($13) is a steal with all the food you end up getting. I was able to select a base, a protein (yuba or tofu skin), three cold sides, and two hot entrees. If that sounds like a lot of food to fit into one container, it's because it is!

I was able to ask for half brown rice/chow mein noodles, yuba as my protein, and the laksa curry and Mongolian beef as my mains. The server was incredibly generous because my box was so heavy after they packed everything in. I loved having yuba as my protein and the laksa brought back flavors from Malaysia. The 'beef' was also nice and the savory-sweet sauce they used was deelish.

I also loved that each entree was clearly described in detail so that you could tell what you were consuming. It was nice to see them use a variety of different plant based proteins to create the entrees and it inspired me to try making some of them at home myself (hehe).

Pros: Packed meal boxes for great value

It’s ok

I didn’t know this was a mall food court restaurant. This came up on my Happy Cow app as nearby and was curious. Come here if you want to eat in a mall food court OR are shopping. The Westfield mall is terrible to navigate and find parking. The quality of food here was not worth the effort to get here. Lots of really great alternatives nearby

Pros: Vegan food court offering , Convenient for shoppers

Cons: Real pain to find and get to, Food is mediocre

Poor quality for a Loving Hut

This quality isn't typical of Loving Hut. The food and service here are awful compared to what Loving Hut typically is. Much worse in the mall. The wonton soup was mostly broth, only a couple wontons. As for the service: when walking up to this Loving Hut, they noticed us but wouldn't come out from the back even though there were no other customers or orders that they were working on. We watched someone slice one onion for 10 minutes to avoid coming to the front. We initially ate there to support the business once we noticed this Loving Hut in a crowded mall at rush hour with not even one single customer. Every other restaurant had a customer except here, now it's clear why

Cons: Poor service, Quality of food

Good and Cheap

Whenever I'm in the nabe I bring my to-go containers here and load them up to take home. The Mongolian Wonder and Teriyaki Stir Fry are favorites. The first time I brought my own to-go containers they not only welcomed them but rewarded me with a very nice shopping bag. On the other hand, there was one time the person behind the counter didn't know what to do with them and said she couldn't fill them. The staff turnover seems to be very fast and I'm not sure they always get adequate training. But I'll keep coming here -- it's well worth it.

Pros: Tasty, healthy food., Very reasonable prices., Eco-friendly.

Cons: Staff not always well trained.

Tasty fast food

Parking at the mall is no fun. Walk up to the food court on the 2nd floor. About 8 choices on hot table like Panda Express but 100% vegan.

Pros: fast service

Cons: limited menu

Happy

I was stuck in the area getting my car serviced and was so happy to find Loving Hut in the mall. I had the Garden Vermicelli which was flavorful and a good portion. Only downside is that people in the food court might have thought I was eating meat!

Tasty food

Great noodles with different types of seitan and soy stir fries. The steamed veggies are also very tasty not to mention the amazing spring rolls. I only give 4 star because I had to think twice to eat there as the look didn’t seem so inviting from a distance. The front of the store is very plane and the menu is missing loads from what’s actually available. The food doesn’t look very inviting either but taking a closer look changed my mind. And the taste is perfect.

Pros: Great tasing food

Cons: Don’t look very promising from afar.

Delicious, fast, fresh, affordable

Great to find vegan food at a busy foodcourt!
They have a steam table with several options of sides, entrees and appetizers ( mix and match), soups made to order and a selection of beverages.
Food was fresh and delicious.
We got a 10% vegan discount

Pros: all vegan, parking lot, free parking, good prices

"Vegan Discount"

This location offers a "vegan discount" so be sure to mention it. We love to get the side of veggies and add them to our soup or ramen. Even my non-vegan son loves the won ton soup. The soups and Thai Tea are amazing. Along w their buffet style spread which have looked fresh upon every one of our visits so far. Very flavorful food. Great service as well.

Pros: Inexpensive, fast and convenient

Cons: since the soup is individually prepared at the tim

mall food

At the end of the day it's still just mall food. Granted - I arrived around 8 - but the cafeteria style food selection looked like it had been sitting there too long. Not appetizing. They have a few noodle soups to choose from. I picked the wonton soup. It was flavorless without the sriracha until I got to the bottom of the bowl. The other thing I'm not a fan of is all of the fake meat used - I'd rather more veggies. Not the best Loving Hut. The prices are good though. For what it is ... mall food ... yeah sure... go for it.

Pros: under $10, in a mall with plenty of parking, if you like fake meat then this is your spot

Cons: its in a mall, bland noodles in the soup, all the fake meat

great vegan Asian option

I loved this place, I've visited their Pittsburgh location and this one is great too. The food is like home made-fried type.
All the dishes are awesome but you have to try their "fish and chips" and their spring rolls, the noodles with tempeh and their fried rice

Try their desserts!

First of all, I am stoked to see an all-vegan restaurant in a shopping mall food court! That just made my day right there. Nice variety of items, both Asian-style and Western-style. Try their desserts! Their vegan cheesecake is as tasty as- actually, probably even better than- regular dairy cheesecake. The chocolate cake is really good, too. I want to go again : )

Vegan resturant in the mall?!

I AM SO HAPPY THAT THERE IS A VEGAN RESTAURANT IN THE MALL. The food is yummy, it's an awesome value. There is even ice cream. The orange chicken is bomb. The lucky curry is really, really yummy.

Pros: Good value, Convenient
