Good food, but the service needs improvement

It took too long for our food to come out, and the server was not quite kind when we called her to ask if they missed our order. But food was good, for real.

Wide variety of choices!!

The food here was really great!! They have options like sandwiches and wings while also having a large selection of Asian style food such as noodle and rice dishes. I was very pleased with the amount of food and the price. I got Singapore noodles and the dish was piled high with fresh veggies and amazing vegan beef. The two employees were super kind and welcoming. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Side note: While we ate, I watched the TV channel playing “Supreme Master TV” which definitely entertaining to say the least. Through my curiosity, I learned that Loving Hut is a chain (but each are individually owned/operated.) Definitely look up information about the creator of this chain of restaurants and their brand if you haven’t already, even if just for an interesting read. To me, some aspects seem positive and I am glad they are promoting being vegan; however, some aspects are questionable to put it mildly.

BEST VEGAN PLACE AROUND

I LOVE Loving Hut! I was originally hesitant to stop by, but I’m so glad I did! Now I come here whenever I want some amazing vegan food! For a vegan place, it has LARGE PORTIONS FOR NOT TOO MUCH!! That is so rare and it’s just a lifesaver for me! Also the mother and son are the sweetest people ! Always friendly and easy to talk to. I’ll never shut up about how this is the BEST VEGAN SPOT. Best in Tampa, best near USF, and best I’ve ever been to in my 10 years of vegetarianism & veganism! I cannot recommend this place enough for good food at a good price!

Pros: AMAZING TASTE, Great portions, Cheaper than most

Cons: Sometimes wonky hours but not too bad

Pros: All vegan , Huge menu , Lots of cuisine

Cons: Popular!

Favorite Vegan Spot in Tampa!

Loving Hut is by far my favorite vegan spot in Tampa! The food is beyond incredible and Ms. Le is so sweet and generous. It’s the perfect spot to meet up with friends. There’s something for everyone, even my non-vegan friends love the vegan food here because it’s delicious and there are so many dishes to choose from. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Great food, friendly staff

I got the spicy shrimp and my mom asked for the spicy shrimp to be made with no spice. They were very accommodating, hers was not spicy at all and mine was the perfect amount.

HUGE Menu

Had fun going through their food menu, there are a TON of options that are also very different from each other. The food was good and staff was friendly even though they were clearly short staffed. The establishment itself was a little strange, I couldn’t even really tell they were open when we first walked in.

Great food

Just loved the vegan shrimp! Chinese dishes were great too. Would only give feedback the rice was a bit tough, maybe because I don’t like short grain brown rice though, jasmine rice would of been better.

Skip This One

Good concept, but lousy execution. Yes, food was all vegan, but it was just like cheap Chinese take-out. Not worth the drive or the price. Plus the place was a dump. First and last time here.

Pros: None

Cons: Lousy food, Lousy facilities

Amazing food and people

Under new ownership, the food and atmosphere at this classic vegan destination have gotten even better. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, and portions are large enough to leave you leftovers, which taste just as good the next day. Don't miss their buffet on the 1st Saturday of the month for off-the-menu specials too. This is some of the best vegan fare in the city.

Great food IF your looking for richness

What I absolutely love about this restaurant are the various options. There is something on the menu in every section and the ENTIRE menu is vegan. However, if you are WFPB you will find this restaurant tough when looking for those options outside of the salad 🥗. I recently juiced so my palate was looking for simplicity, fresh, and delicious. But, this was not the restaurant for that. Overall, I gave it high stars ⭐️ for the options and the food was tasty. It, however, did not fulfill the freshness I was looking for.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Prices are reasonable , Portion sizes are great

Cons: Not a lot of fresh items on the menu, Not a WFPB spot

Loving it

The food was amazing, there were like four pages of options and options for every taste. Burritos, sandwiches, burgers, rice dishes, noodles, and desserts. Unfortunately the guy at the counter did tell us they planned on cutting down the number of menu items significantly. The space is very nicely decorated with potted plants everywhere.

Pros: All vegan , Tons of options

Delicious!

So many choices on the menu! Husband and I split the Spring rolls, good tasting, also the house salad, which was beautiful and tasty, especially the ginger dressing. My husband got the Sesame,Sweet and Sour, he loved it. I got the Teriyaki Tofu Stir fry and loved that!
The young man that ran the front was very nice and even sat down and chatted with us on and off, giving us places to visit while in Florida and suggestions on other Vegan restaurants.

Pros: All Vegan with many options, Very nice staff, Good prices

Delicious!

Chef Tommy and his mom make a genius pair in the kitchen, creating really tasty and wholesome vegan food. If you tell Tommy any dietary restrictions you have or what your tastes and preferences are he can help give recommendations since the menu is huge. He can also customize anything for you! We got a large bowl of wonton soup to share (with extra wontons), the sweet potato golden soup, and a teriyaki noodle dish with lots of extra fresh veggies. We really appreciated that these options were healthy, wholesome and well flavored. The “steak” was homemade from soy protein and was some of the best mock “meat” I’ve ever had. Very delicious, we definitely will be back! 😍

Pros: Everything is vegan!, Large variety of options, Affordable

Excellent

I’m a no oil whole food plant base vegan. Conversely, my goal is to eat food within those boundaries. With that said, the Loving Hut in Tampa, serves one of the best power wraps, cabbage soup as well as a variety of yummy noodle dishes. If you are a burger & fries type, yes they are great at that too. Love the Loving Hut!

Pros: Fair prices , Excellent Food, Clean and inviting

Vegan classic

Ironically located across the street from the House of Meats, Loving Hut is a classic vegan find! We got a bunch of delicious food, but my favorite had to have been the Cheese Sticks. They tasted like real mozzarella cheese sticks.

Pros: Close to Busch Gardens

So many options, another great LH location!

Had a fabulous take out experience here!

The mother and son duo at the front were a charming addition to my experience. I have been to SO many Loving Hut locations and this one was a treat.

The menu is super vast! You will be overwhelmed when choosing (the mark of a good LH location).

The pad thai was delicious as well as the spring rolls and summer rolls were also a hit! So good, I didn't even take a photo.

Cons: raw sushi, no cooked option for those that prefer
