Inedible - Edit
Literally the worst ‘spicy noodle soup’ I’ve ever had, not sure how they managed to stuff it up so badly. Even the mock meats were tasteless. As though they’d boiled to death the whole dish. The broth tasted like mildly spicy salty water.
Read morePros: Cheezcake was okay
Cons: Terrible, tasteless, boiled inedible ‘food’, Worst soup I’ve ever had

Always Reliable - Edit
Loving Hut is a popular vegan pan-Asian chain with locations around the west coast. This spot is a full service restaurant with an excellent menu for vegans and those wanting to try some tasty food.
Read moreI ordered their Taro Rolls, Chow Fun, and Mushroom Veg medley along with a small side of brown rice. They were able to prepare everything quickly and the food lasted well in its takeout containers. I was a fan of the chow fun and the taro rolls, which were crispy and close to perfection.
Something I still struggle with Loving Hut though are the prices. They still feel quite steep for what you get, but I think SF pricing just continues to break my little heart.
Either way, I'm glad Loving Hut is around and available for us to enjoy.

Good chips - Edit
I ordered the fried rice and it was nothing like the description/picture, and honestly was very bland, but the fries were good.
Read moreDespite the food not being amazing, I loved how friendly the staff were and it’s just a nice place to be. Maybe I’ll try another dish sometime and it’ll be better.

Long time favorite - Edit
I have been here many times over the last 20 years. The food is always fresh and delicious. I now order and pick up via subscription to their website, which gets me a discount. The prices are pretty high, but not much more than most places. I like the spring rolls, but the oil free vegetables with tofu is the best! The menu is extensive, with multiple ethnic Asian choices for soups, appetizers, salads, mains, and desserts.

Great food - Edit
I used to live in the Sunset so this location was perfect for me. The food is great. I've had a wide variety of dishes but love their "faux pork?" bun! So perfect. They also have some great cake slices too. I don't know why but the service at this location is always super slow.
Read morePros: Great food, Lots of variety
Cons: Slow service, No outdoor seating, Indoor needs to be updated

Perfect choice - Edit
Stating the obvious here: perfect choice for vegan asian food. We had orange "chickens", mapo tofu and vegetable bowl - all great. The place was weirdly empty (during lunchtime) but the food was excellent.
Read morePros: Wide selection of anything, Clearly informative menu

Great - Edit
The food was really good. We found some of the dishes spicy, but that’s what we were expecting. Good service and good soup. Recommend checking it out the food was fresh and very tasty.

Dreaming of Seasme Chicken - Edit
Delicious food! We got Pad Thai and Sesame Chicken to share. Very quiet place decorated with vegan celebrities. I was very impressed with the mock shrimp in the pad thai. Paid parking is available up the street for $2/hr.

Comida saborosa! - Edit
Fomos almoçar.
Read moreO espaço podia ser bastante melhorado. Alguma desarrumação com muitos caixotes à vista.
Ementa extensa. Comida saborosa e doses generosas. Não gostámos das sobremesas ( percebia-se que já tinham alguns dias…).
Serviço bom.

Fried mushrooms are amazing - Edit
We had the fried mushrooms and some fried rice and the fried mushrooms were one of the best things I’ve eaten. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with a great savoury taste of oyster mushrooms topped off with a sweet and sour sauce.

Loved it! - Edit
Loved the Ocean Basket and banana fritters (with ice-cream) for dessert. The food was wonderful.
Read moreThe online menu/ordering was clunky to navigate, especially on my phone. The website really could use a little bit of lovin’ (especially since it’s a fully take-out place)!
Pros: delicious
Cons: parking 😳

Love this small eating spot! - Edit
Although this location may be small, it's huge in selection, friendliness and taste. This is my husband's favorite vegan spot (and he's not vegan!) If you come here you NEED to try the crispy mushrooms!! They legit taste like calamari. The orange chicken andbtheir mock meats are well seasoned and flavored.
Read morePros: Offer vegan dog kibble , Friendly staff, always willing to help, Theybhave take-out as an option
Cons: Must go with time, parking can be tricky

Amazing vegan Chinese food - Edit
Before visiting the Japanese tea garden, we had lunch at the Loving hut. The food was amazing! With four people we tried out various dishes and they were all really good! I can really recommend eating here.

Great vegan place as we know it from Europe - Edit
We love this chain, especially in the Czech Republic. It was nice to see one here too. They don't seem to have a buffet as we know it but rather a regular menu to order from. Currently they only sell "to go", so we couldn't sit inside. Not sure why, maybe still because if covid.
Read moreBut you can sit down in the bar next door, they have some kind of agreement.
The staff was super friendly and the food was great 👍 I had a potato soup and a great baked banana dessert with ice cream. Loved it.
Pros: Many options, Many good looking desserts, Very helpful

Another great Loving Hut - Edit
It was great for the seafood cravings that SF left in me. Food might be a bit greasy, but it was great for what it is! Loving Hut usually never disappoints

Delicious food, thoughtful, personal service! - Edit
I ordered online several dishes for a large party. She phoned me to confirm my order and offered to provide serving trays as a convenience for me at no extra charge. When I picked up my order, she had packaged the trays so that hot food was separated from cold food, in two separate cartons and were ready on time. When I unpacked the trays, I found she had decorated the food with steamed greens so the trays would look nice on the serving table. I was blown away by the service and the food!
