Decent vegan Asian fast food

Decent vegan Asian fast food in the Westfield Center. Large portions. For the combo menu (2 choices rice or noodles) you can ask to try the different choices before ordering

Pros: In mall food court, Many choices

Cons: Fast food

Unfriendly staff

Their food selections is quite standard and same throughout the year. Brown rice was hard and dry. Portions are small compared to other stalls in the same food court. Staff very unfriendly most times. I’m having my meals here only because it’s vegan.

Pros: Standard and consistent taste , Vegan

Cons: Small portions , Unfriendly staff no smile at all , As if u owe them a living for ordering their food

Disgusting food and even more disgusting service

Staff are rude, food was rushed and the tofu is some of the worst and most flavourless tofu I’ve ever had.

I’ve been here on 2 different occasions and both times the staff treated me like a piece of [censored].

I hate Loving Hut.

Pros: Big portion, Tasteless (if you like that), Boring (if you like that)

Cons: Rude staff , Bland dishes, Gross tofu

Good food, bad service

Size of food is big and taste is good.
I asked for a 2 sides plate: rice+curry tofu+spicy green beans and pay $11.40.
Girl was not very friendly, I could not even ask for a drink because I already had my ticket in my face.(no one was on the queue)

Pros: Good food, Several options, Accept credit cards

Cons: Not nice service

Good food but unfriendly staff

The food was good and cheap but some people from the staff are unfriendly. Looks like that they just want to sell as many dishes as possible.

Very good Asian vegan food at decent price

This Loving Hut is located in a food court down of a commercial building. It offers a variety of Asian food such as fried rices, soups, tofu dishes, and a range of Western desserts. I took the spicy noodle soup, the chicken nuggets and a slice of chocolate and coffee cake. The soup was very tasty and generous, the nuggets were good but not exceptionnal and the cake was amazingly good. The service was quick and prices were fair for what you get. I recommend a stop to eat good Asian food!

Pros: 100% vegan, very good food, quick service, fair prices, generous portions

Great addition to the food court!!!

I had been to this Loving Hut several times before I moved to SF, and even today I am STILL impressed with their offerings. The food is great, well flavored, and priced right.

While my tastes have changed over the years and I've strayed away from fake meat products, I was surprised at how well balanced the vermicelli dish was with the noodles, seitan, peanuts, sauce, spring rolls, etc. Essentially, throughout the day I described this dish as a spring roll in a bowl (with fried rolls on top). It was so good and light...I didn't feel like I was going to fall asleep at my desk at work afterwards, huge plus! Highly recommended as an excellent, decently priced lunch option.

Below is my original Happy Cow review posted on 09/15/2010 (HC is an excellent resource when looking for vegan places around the world):

Posted on 09 / 15 / 2010
This location is situated in the food court of the popular Westfield San Francisco Shopping Centre. Normally I wouldn't be jumping up an down about food court restaurants, but I'm surely jumping up and down about this one. First thing, this is a great place to go to if you're traveling with someone that is not veg*n, as there are plenty of great choices for them within the food court and there are actually good options. This food court is also connected to the BART stop at Powell, so if you're coming in on the subway, walk on in.

As always, the employees at Loving Hut were very nice. One thing I noticed is that they didn't have the TV's broadcasting things from their religion/beliefs - although I don't have a problem with their TV station, I often have a hard time getting some friends to go to their restaurants because of it. The location is very clean, cute, and inviting as well and there were many people ordering food from here (a very good sign). I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak and absolutely fell in love - I'm not sure if I loved it so much because I hadn't eaten for over 14 hours, but wow! The sandwich itself was very flavorful, they even had a garlic flavoring on the bread, the flavor of the sauce was very well done, and the seitan was tasty and had a great texture. The sandwich also came with a side of cole slaw (very good) and two slices of orange. Overall, this place is great and I will surely be eating here at least one more time before I leave - this is also the train stop that goes back to the airport.

You gotta try!

Not my fav vegan in SF, but quick and tasty. If you are downtown, it’s a good option. Maybe a bit expensive (as everything in SF).

Thumps Up

Excellent tasting food, I found a new favorite go-to spot for sure. I tried the Garden Vermicelli with some Thai Iced Tea and was on point.

Pros: Fast

Vegan Food Hall Grub :)

SF visitor from the UK.

They offer a limited Asian inspired menu but tasty enough and refreshing to be able to order food in a mall knowing the premises are fully vegan.

Iced water available for customers. The staff didn’t mind me topping up my water bottle.

The place directly behind Loving Hut also has a vegan tofu option.

Pros: Quick service. , Can easily eat with omnivores in the food hall. , Water cooler appreciated.

Cons: Not always fully stocked. , Can run out of food well before closing time.

Ok, but nothing special

They only have 3 vegan&glutenfree meals, which are the soups.🤔🙄I know Loving Hut also at other places all over the world, where they have more options..

Cons: In a foodcourt, not the cosiest place..

Vegan food court food

I'm glad it's there in case I need a bite to eat before seeing a movie upstairs, but it's just okay by any other than mall food standards.

The Loving Hut on Irving is much better.

Pros: It's there

Food exceeded my expectations

Quick, affordable, delicious food! This city is disgusting though. So if you find yourself having to be in San Francisco, this is a good place to grab food to take back to your hotel.

Huge choice, all vegan, friendly staff

Huge choice of Asian inspired vegan meals. I had the lemongrass tofu, red curry vegetables and noodles. Spicy with loads of flavour. Love this place! They also have a cake counter with cheesecakes, muffins and sliced cake. What's not to love!!

Pros: All vegan, great selection

Cons: None
