Loved this place. We were looking for a place that serves Chinese without meat or sea food varieties. And we finally found it !! The best dish we tasted here is Szechwan strips. If you like nuggets, go for it. Did I miss the vegan chocolate mouse cake? It was fantastic. Must try ! Time to table could be improved. They are running short of capacity to serve people, even during off hours.

This place is own by a CULT(supreme ) If you’re ok with your money going to a cult, I guess. Ok food is ok but taste like there’s a bit too much MSG. You can tell because your tongue feels tingly and/or you’re really thirsty afterward

Super clean and zen as soon as you walk in. They have literature and vegan snacks for purchase. I had been here before, but just to pick up an order which was super fast and the lady helping me was very sweet. This time around, the service was a bit on the subpar side. My brother thinks it was the owner serving us, so service was lacking a smidge. Our waters were never refilled, nor did he check in on us. After we were done eating, we waited awhile until he came back around to ask for the check and some boxes. The sad thing about it is that there were only three dine in patrons. I guess you’re wondering why I am giving them four stars if my service was meh… Well, if you want vegan done right well come here. The food is excellent for being vegan as my brother is slowly working his way from vegetarian to being vegan. As the loving, carnivorous and not so picky sister that I am, in full support of his choices. Our favorite to order here is the Banh Xeo(Veggie Wrap), you can find it under House Specialties in the menu. It has tons of veggies, soy protein, tofu and bean sprouts wrapped inside a mung bean crêpe. It’s served with lettuce and a tangy sauce, simulating fish sauce. Pretty much like a vegan lettuce wrap. I had ordered this for my brother when I had a Groupon/livingsocial coupon here. He loved it so much, he kept going as he was living near by at the time. This was my second time here, first time dining in. My brother of course ordered the Banh Xeo, I was a bit more adventurous and ordered the Pad Thai The pad thai had veggie fillet, tofu, bean sprouts, chopped roasted peanuts and thai noodle served with cabbage and green onion salad. On top of that, which is not listed in the description in the menu online, it had vegan shrimp. I must say, I’d rather do with out. I found out that I absolutely do not care for vegan seafood. I had«fish» at another vegan Thai place and it was gross. The shrimp was super slimy, not because of the pad thai sauce, but I guess it’s just its characteristic and the texture is too soft to be compared to shrimp. I would probably make sure no seafood is in mine and ask for fried tofu instead. Overall, I would totally come back again! I love the food here and I am excited to try new things. Just be patient or proactive when the owner, or the gentleman, I’m just assuming he is the owner, when you want water or your check. He was nice, but didn’t seem to know what he was doing? My brother and I just gave him the benefit of the doubt and was just patient with him.

Small locally owned vegan thai/vietnamese food. They have some exotic smothies of asian fruits. I had the durian smoothie and it was amazing. We also ordered the gurus curry and virtuous soup both were excellent. Service was great and fast. Glad i found this place.

Loving Hut has a wide option of appetizers, soups, and entrees that will shock you. So many of their meat substitutes have the same look and texture of what you’re used to seeing, which makes it the perfect place for carnivores and vegans. A great transitional spot for those looking to move to the vegan lifestyle. The people that run this restaurant are so sweet(is that any surprise?). We go weekly for our«junk food» fix — which is a Champion Burger that tastes just like a fried chicken sandwich except it’s a meatless patty. Fries on the side. My personal favorite is the pad thai, which has tofu and other meat substitutes included. If I didn’t know any better, I would never have guessed it was vegan. The golden rolls(fried spring rolls) are wonderful too. There’s not been one thing I’ve ordered here that I haven’t enjoyed. They also helped with a very large order for a Christmas party we recently had of dumplings and spring rolls. Our party raved about it after we shared the news with them that there were no animal products included. Loving Hut is a darling restaurant, adorned with pictures of celebrities who’ve joined the cruelty-free journey.

It is Christmas Eve — my usual place was not open, so I decided to give this place a shot. It took an hour(which is expected and I don’t mind waiting). When it arrived, I was a bit disappointed. The veggies in both dishes were still raw — like they tossed them in last minute and didn’t even try to cook them. The egg rolls were good, but for the price of everything to only enjoy two little egg rolls? No thank you.

Haven’t been to this place in ages, but made a trip here for dinner last night and it was worth it. Quality of food and service has improved since the last time I was here a couple of years ago. Normally, my friend and I loveeee to eat meat, however, we wanted to try healthy food. My friend was pretty blown away at how flavorful the vegan food tasted and almost got tricked into thinking that she was eating real meat. For food, my friend and I ordered the summer(spring) rolls, Royal Noodles and the Blissful Noodles(aka the vermicelli bowl that has everything in it). The rolls itself was pretty tasty. Modeled after the spring roll, this one was pretty much the same format except the main ingredient was vegan ham vs shrimp and pork. For the royal noodle dish, this one was just bursting with so many flavors! Hint of spiciness, basil, and other various seasonings, it tasted delicious. As for the vermicelli bowl, this was a pretty huge dish. Couldn’t quite finish it but I love this one for its various imitations of meat(which did tasted legit like meat on a couple of them) and the plentiful amount of veggies in the dish. Overall, I do recommend coming to this place if you want to eat something healthy and new. Even for those who are skeptical at trying vegan food, this place is pretty good at making vegan food taste awesome and such :)

This is an interesting place. All the food is vegan and healthy. Unfortunately, it tastes that way too. No matter what I get, I have to douse it in soy sauce and sriracha to make it palatable, and I say that as someone who assiduously avoids excess salt. Having said that, a suitably sauced up meal here can be delicious and you feel good about it afterward. For better or worse there is always some really weird cultish programming playing on the TV, something about a Supreme Master. Luckily, you don’t have to sign up or pledge anything to this Master to eat here, other than paying your check.

VEGANSUNITE! And only else who’d like to try some really outstanding vegan/veggie-head™ food. Fake«Meat» technology is scary sometimes, but in a good way, seriously, the«beef» and«chicken» were very hard to tell if we were eating game or tofu. Flavors of the sauces on each of our dishes were drool-worthy, I’m not usually a veggie-head™ but when I am, I’ll eat here! We opted for: Spring rolls, Golden Tofu and Golden nuggets to start us off. The«shrimp» in the rolls just seafoodie enough to enjoy it in the rolls, what I really liked is they included a bit of fried won-ton skin wrapper in the mix, it added a very nice texture to the roll and kept me wanting more. The side sauce that was served was very good, topped with a bit of vegenaise, it must have been their take on Hoisin sauce, it wasn’t too sweet which was nice. Golden tofu and nuggets were just to die for, man I could have eaten the entire plate! Those«nuggets» had me seriously questioning the dish, I wanted a bucket of them… and I was assured by the waitress it wasn’t «real» meat. Our main plates were: Mongolian Wonder, Eggplant Tofu, Masala rice, and Green Bean delight. This was a stellar combo. Mongolian Wonder, their take on Mongolian Beef, was the hit of our lunch crew, «b-eff» as we were jokingly calling the protein was very«beef-like» and took on the flavors of the sauce very well, green/red peppers and onions rounded off the dish, WOW, for not being«real» meat. Masalasa rice and the Green bean delight were our next favs, the rice had a great curry flavor and the«chicken» took on a wonderful curry flavor as well. A pleasant surprise was«meat» in the Green bean delight, I could have sworn it was Char siu! Minus the fake red coloring. Overall, the place was a wonderful experience for our entire family. I asked Gramps if he wasn’t told if this was an all veggie place, would he have known, he said he could tell, but he said it with a twinkle in his eye, the food was very good and we all knew it. Free parking! Plenty of space to make bigger tables if need be, friendly staff and worthy of the trip from Shoreline for sure, and that’s saying a lot!

The delivery guy called 5 times(no joke) trying to get here, one time to ask where to park when it’s normal Seattle street parking. He called three times to ask our apartment number and once to ask the callbox #(which are listed on the order from Eat 24), and once to say he’s outside our door(instead of knocking). Ordered veggie delight dish and specified no onions. It came with what looked like a couple stray onions in it, it’s filled with cilantro(which we HATE and is not at all advertised on the dish), and it came with some sort of beef and tofu included. Beef and tofu are definitely not advertised as being in the«veggie delight» dish. Very disappointed.

Loving hut has a place in my heart. From their interior design to their vegan food, nothing beats this place for the experience. I would even go as far to say that if you are traveling from out of state, definitely visit this place at least once(even if you eat meat), you will enjoy the food. For my vegan brothers and sisters, you will love this place! It is definitely a very safe place to eat all vegan! They use a lot of imitations, so if you haven’t tried them this is a good place to go to! They’re service is also great! Very nice people. They are really good at explaining what is in their food so don’t be afraid to ask! The feeling after eating at Loving Hut will have you smiling and your stomach smiling! I HIGHLY recommend this place.

Let me say… I’m not vegetarian nor vegan, but this place was pretty delicious and would totally come back! I dont know if I would convert to a vegan or a vegetarian, but the food was satisfying and tasty! Came in to try their vegan buffet lunch(they have a regular menu too) with some friends, a very mom & pop style spot in Little Saigon area off of Jackson. You may miss it when looking for it, so look hard. There is a little parking lot next to it or street park somewhere. We were seated quickly and you can basically just go up to the buffet area immediately and start putting stuff on your plate. Buffet stand is in a tight spot so you may be going against the flow of people or bumping into someone while trying to get your food. Food was quite delicious, all vegan buffet was provided, delicious fried rice, tasty noodle & veggie stir fry with tofu, a nice curry, delicious green beans and something that looked like General Tso’s chicken but vegan… DANG that was pretty tasty and my fave! You can also get a vegan lemonade from the cooler, felt like I was at a picnic. They also have a mini dessert table with some sweet rice rolls, some other jelly stuff, and banana bread. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch, nothing fancy about this place but the owners were so nice and friendly that they made sure we had enough to eat and thanked us for coming in.

Quick service and good food. I had the golden era and it was delicious. My husband had pad Thai and it was not delicious. We shared a Charmaine salad and it was so tasteful. We love the salad the best.

My friend(who’s a vegetarian) and I(who loves to eat bacon) went here for lunch today. I got the potstickers to share and she ordered the hot and sour and I got the tom yum bowl. I liked her soup but I loved my soup. YUM! The potstickers were good, too. I’ll definitely come back to explore their menu more. An aside, they allow people to come and solicit donations for certain causes while you’re dining. We were fine with it(though we didn’t donate anything today) but I know some people get annoyed by such things.

I found this place after searching for vegetarian restaurants in the area as the friends with I was with were not meat eaters. The reviews seemed good, so a decision was made and off we went! The restaurant is an unassuming place from the outside. When you step inside, you find a clean restaurant with a lot of seating space. There is a library dedicated to the religious organization(cult?) that supposedly owns all of the restaurant in the chain(or at least franchises them.) There are inspiration sayings all over the wall. I had a nice little chuckle at the one saying that those who drink wine, partake of marijuana or copious pleasures of the flesh are bound to hell. The food, though? I’m always a little dubious of fake meat, but there were so many things on the menu that looked absolutely amazing. Whereas some vegetarian restaurants feature the fake meat as kind of a low key option, it was on full display here. I love spicy stuff and asked the waitress what she was recommend. I ended up with the Royal Noodle. While it wasn’t the normal mouth scorching temperature that I’d like, it was absolutely delicious. After adding some chili sauce to it, it was positively divine. The others at my table all had solid reviews of their food, as well. The fake chicken nuggets were great and were served with an interesting cold ginger sauce that compliemented them very well. The phad thai was solid and lacked that super ketchupy taste that you might find elsewhere. The Mongolian«beef» plate was a little too sweet for my tastes, but still tasty. Even my daughter raved about how much she loved the chow mein. As for the service? I can honestly say that in all of my years of dining out, I’ve never had a more genuinely enthusiastic server in my entire life. It was an experience. She was SOHAPPY. It was disarming in the best way possible.

I found this place online while searching for gluten free hot and sour soup. Since I cut gluten out of my diet I haven’t been able to find any UNTILNOW! The search is over, when I need my hot and sour fix I know where to go. So tasty and the lady that took our order was super nice. We also ordered the gluten free curry rice and gluten free tofu broccoli mushroom. Curry rice was a hit, almost as tasty as the hot and sour soup. The tofu broccoli was bland and not all that great, but you win some you lose some. I’m ok with a boring broccoli if I can have a amazing Gluten free hot and sour soup. Downside, it took for super long for our to-go order. Think we waited over 30 mins, but the waitress was super sweet brought us water and apologized for the wait. In the future I will just call my order in. The atmosphere was nice and the lady was super great about me having things gluten free. Hot and Sour Soup for the win, but keep in mind it could take a while!

This is surprising a large chain featuring a wide menu of vegan vietnamese cuisines! I really liked what we ordered: — the Bun Hue had assorted vegan meets(faux beef, pork, seafood), tofu, mushroom, cabbage, bean sprouts, basil and thick vermicelli noodles. the soup was lighter than Bun Rieu which I usually love but this one had a bit of a tumeric hint to it. which was nice for a change from the heavy fish sauce flavor. — I really liked the Charming salad which consisted of shredded white and red cabbage topped with peanuts and faux soy meat. the owner was attentive this place is a bit hidden — near Viet Wah in the ID

I like Loving Hut to take a break from meat sometime. They usually have a good selection of dishes that differs with each restaurant. So my only disappointment eating here was they didn’t have the Loving Hut dish I love at a different Loving Hut. Watching the Supreme Leader on the tv is enjoyable but not in the she would like I’m sure. The food is tasty and cheap so enjoy it.
