Mostly frozen - Edit
Most of the menu are not homemade it’s frozen processed fake meat. They won’t let me give it 1 star strictly bc it’s a vegetarian restaurant

Better than expected - Edit
The reviews online were so so but I enjoyed it here quite a lot. First we went to the other location in town due to the better reviews but they were closed (bummer). Even an extremely bratty 12 year old liked her food at this location. Will be back.

Oh the drumsticks! - Edit
This place is really good. We love going there, the service is great, the food is delicious, the portions are generous and the best of all is that they sell some of their food frozen so you can take it home. Their most delicious item is the drumsticks. It is just mind blowing! How can they make something feel and taste so much like fried chicken? For a moment I thought I was eating the real thing. But knowing that I can enjoy it and it’s cruelty free makes me wanna go time after time to this restaurant. Their buffet is great too.

Favorite Vegan Restaraunt in Worcester - Edit
My favorite "go to" Vegan Restaraunt in Worcester. Going to college, I knew I could always count on Loving Hut for an affordable but delicious meal. Their buffets once a month were also AMAZING, since they were a great opportunity to try more foods on their very extensive menu. Definitely try this place, easy 5/5 stars.
Read morePros: Affordable Amazing food Generous portions Entirely

Deep fried ice cream??!?!?!?!?!!? - Edit
So I've been to a few Loving Huts and always enjoy that each one is similar but will have certain local specialties on the menu. We enjoyed a variety of Asian style dishes. Some of the appetizers were pretty greasy but sometimes we all just need some of that in our lives. My favourite part was on their special board they had "deep fried ice cream". Being a vegan I have never had the chance to try that before. I was not disappointed. My son and I each ordered one in both flavours. Chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Yup, best thing I ever put in my face. Ask my husband, I made inappropriate noises at the table while enjoying this amazing dish. GO!
Read morePros: DEEP FRIED ICE CREAM!!!!!!, Decent sized seating area

good food, good service - Edit
I wish there was a bit more variety in cuisine options, the large amount of Thai options was overwhelming and could be evened out with some vegan cheeseburgers or chick'n tenders with vegan honey mustard (as I've seen with other Loving Huts). Also, the coconut coffee smoothie with boba was amazing.
Read morePros: large restaurant , ample seating, decent neighbourhood
Cons: mostly Thai options, not a lot of street parking

awesome food and wonderful owners! - Edit
My family and I love this place. We have been to about 30 Loving Huts across the country and this is one of our fav. The food is good and the owners are wonderful! They really care about introducing people to vegan food. They are always involved in different outlets to get the message out and I dig that about them. Sometimes doing shows and not making any money but spreading the word that vegan food is not only delicious but a necessity for the animals.
Read moreWe just spent a week in Worcester and are there everyday. We tried their Pho soup, Kung Pow Wow, vermicelli veggie plate, lemon grass soy plate, Wong ton soup, stir fries veggies, and more and All of it was very good. Plus the food comes out fast.
We also tried their puddings, carrot cake and chocolate cakes. My fav was the corn pudding.
Thank you south got feeding us so well while in town!

LOVED it - Edit
My boyfriend (who eats meat) and I went(a vegan) here a few months ago and it was FABULOUS! We originally After serious contemplation I got veggie lo mein and orange chicken. It was impeccable. The orange chicken actually tasted better as left overs for some reason. Any ways, it is quite tried some at VegFest in Boston and loved it so much we decided to dine at the restaurant. It was possibly the best chinese food I have ever had, especially since becoming vegan. My boyfriend got fried rice, broccoli, and tempeh. He said the rice was so good he is put off from rice anywhere else. I have been meaning to make it back there soon because boy do I crave it! Can't wait to go back and try something else! (and take the orange chicken home for left overs =]).

Not feeling the love - Edit
I have visited Loving Hut several times as well as eating their fare at the various vegfests. They rely heavily on faux meat dishes and this is fine for some but it gets old. There seems to be a decline in the quality recently and my dish was all but unedible. Disappointing.

All about the price - Edit
Had dinner here on a weekday. They have a big but boring menu, ALL fake meat, not that healthy after all. The rice that came with the entrees was so little that you could literally finish in three spoonfuls. But then it was very cheap, taste was OK too. I would just avoid the eggplant dishes because ours was so oily that I had to steep them in water first.
Read morePros: cheap
Cons: tiny rice portion, all fake meat

A Wonderful Restaurant! - Edit
After being a long-time customer of the Quan Yin, I was very excited when I found out that the owners were opening a second restaurant, Buddah Hut.
Read moreI've been there a few times, and I love it! The food is amazing and all completely vegan! The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is very relaxed.
Even most of the omnivores I know who have eaten there tell me that the food is excellent!
I personally am a huge fan of their drumsticks, as well as their 'seafood' dishes. Their smoothies are pretty impressive as well. Everything is very yummy. ^^
Pros: Great Food, Inexpensive, Great Service
