Epic Chinese Takeout - Edit
The chicken drumsticks are a MUST the texture is on point - crispy outside & layered chewy inside just like chicken
Read moreThe cheesecakes were a little iffy - would recommend trying the other desserts. But everything else was a 1000/10!!!
Non-vegan fam loved the spring rolls & scallion pancakes
Staff was super kind

AMAZING - Edit
This place was such a good find. My dad, who isn't vegan, was incredibly impressed with the flavors and textures. The drumsticks were crazy good -- it was out favorite part of the meal. Sushi, Pads Thai and the Be'f n' Broccoli were also so good. The ocean rangoons were okay, good but could be much better. Wish I got to take a pic of the food but only managed a pic of the interior. (It was near closing time so that's why it's so empty).

We have always wanted to try Loving Hut and stopped by yesterday on our way through Worcester and it did not disappoint! Food was so tasty, freshly cooked and still hot when we did a curbside pickup. We will definitely be repeat customers!!

Vegan Restaurant Goodness - Edit
Best restaurant during my road trip in America! I dragged my non-vegan family along, and they loved the chow mien! Definitely the best place to eat to get your family to second guess their choices and plant seeds for the future. Hopefully, with the help of restaurants as great as these, more omnivores can change their view of what food is😄

A Gem - Edit
There’s nothing better than Loving Hut Chandler. Our family has been coming here for 16 years, and the food is always healthy and delicious. The menu is huge and all vegan. Our family’s favorites are the vegan Pho, Thai iced tea, the little drumsticks, crab rangoons, and their eggplant/tofu dish.

Scratches that itch for Asian food takeout! - Edit
I’ve been super impressed by the Loving Hut. The appetizers are creative approximations of all of the treats I loved before I became vegan and vegetarian - “crab” rangoons, fried “shrimp,” etc. All of the dishes that I’ve tried have been absolutely delicious. I’d also highly recommend the Thai iced tea with soy milk! Worth the trip for dine-in and takeout, and the proprietors are very friendly and welcoming.

Great vegan asian takeout food! - Edit
Not your romantic dinner out, but delicious vegan asian food for lunch or takeout. I prefer the Chandler location over Hamilton as it is much larger and more street parking available.

All the classics! - Edit
Satisfied our craving for all of the traditional Asian restaurant fare. Crab rangoon, fried shrimp, General’s Chicken…all the faves. Quite good food but the best thing we ate was the Taro rice pudding. Sit down casual and takeout.

Cravings Satisfied - Edit
The crab Rangoon was always my fave before I turn vegan and this is the only place that makes them!! Delicious. I do wish they had veggie fried rice except for the brown/ white rice they have. Still delicious. Never been disappointed. Spring rolls are very yummy and the orange chickn is too. I once drove all the way to Worcester to satisfy my pregnancy cravings and half way home I ripped open the bag because I was starving and the crab Rangoon were missing. I was very sad. I didn’t call the restaurant because accidents happen and I am painfully shy. But I always double check my order now before coming home. Lesson learned. Lol

Chandler Street Loving Hut rules. It's all good. Service, friendliness, choice, cleanliness... I have never had a bad experience there. Being introverts, we usually opt for takeout.

I used to live in the area and went to this place all the time. My absolute favorite vegan food in Worcester. Ask about their buffets. Great food at a great price.

Great spot for a quick pan Asian fix - Edit
I’ve been here a few times it’s reasonably priced I’m just not sure how organic or made to order the food is. I noticed a lot of frozen Rangoon’s which to me isn’t a huge deal but hopefully they make them fresh too! I got the peanut noodles,sweet and sour “chicken”, the “beef” teriyaki , dumplings , ocean Rangoons and carrot cake all for my partner and I to split. The sweet and sour chicken was pretty hard this time everything else was good.

Tasty quality food - Edit
I’ve visited Loving Hut many times being a former Worcester resident. The menu is enormous and you’ll find something you like each visit. My personal favorite is the sweet and sour “chicken” which is excellent. My only worry is some of the ingredients probably are GMO as it’s never listed at the restaurant and in the take out case none of the items are organic or Non GMO. I do like the food but that is my only concern
Read morePros: Great variety , Sweet and Sour soy Chicken , Vegan cakes
Cons: Probably GMO in some ingredients and not organic
