Great food! - Edit
Visited 9/14/24
Read moreWe got the Summer Rolls, Happy Buddha, and the Vegan Tree Burger.
Summer Rolls were nice, Happy Buddha was really delicious, and the burger was fairly good. Overall, we really liked the food!! The fake meat was based in soy. Normally I'm not a fan, but I liked it in the Happy Buddha meal 😋
FYI Restaurant is more of a takeout spot, not very nice seating for sit-in dinner.

Love this place!!!! - Edit
I had to go to Freehold and looked for somewhere to eat. I ordered the Philly cheese "steak" ,crispy rolls, and the mindful medley. All were excellent!! I told my husband (not vegan) about it, and he said he'd try it.
Read moreWe brought my mother in law (not vegan) and ate inside. We ordered the scallion pancakes, Happy Buddha, Philly cheese(my dinner), and Linguine De Italia with the white sauce. We loved everything! My husband actually wants to go back and try everything on the menu!
The guy at the counter is very nice and accommodating to your needs.

Dirty - Edit
We didn’t stay. It was dirty and the employee who seemed to be the manager had pet hair all over his shirt.
Read moreThe door to the kitchen was painted white, but the part of the door that they would push on was black from dirty hands. That they are making your food with. We went in the summer but they hadn’t swept the floor since the fall because there but there was crushed leaves dust bunnies.
We drove 6 miles out of the way to try something new and healthy and I’m glad we both agreed to leave before we ordered. We chose to be vegan because we want to be healthy. Not to get sick from eating out.

Too bad you didn’t even try the food. Why bother reviewing at a place you’ve never eaten at.

Try it again. Looks can be deceiving. The place does look dated, but who cares.
Read moreThe food is excellent! The philly cheese "steak" is soooo good! 6 miles is not much. It takes me ½ an hour or more to go there.
Well worth it!

Friendly, Flavorful and Fast - Edit
I used to live near this restaurant when it was a Loving Hut. They have been Began Tree for 6 years. The dish I had was delicious. Soy nuggets. Fired and served with stir fried vegetables and purple and white rice. I asked for medium heat and it was perfect. The ambiance leaves something to be desired but most of the business these days is takeout. The menu isn’t extensive but it’s all vegan which for a vegan means it has a larger menu than most. Featuring appetizers, soups sandwiches and entrees. About half a dozen choices in each category. Glad to see it’s still here!
Read morePros: Fresh , Fast, Delicious
Cons: Poor ambiance (e.g dirty windows and floor), Only drinks are soda water in cans

delicious! - Edit
so got the fried rice and the mango sushi and they were both amazing and very hearty portions. The soy protein in the fried rice was one of the best vegan “meats” i’ve ever tried!

Everything is vegan here :) - Edit
Hurrah everything is vegan here😄At beginning I thought the owner is from japan because everything feels so japan and Hong Kong style, turns out the owner did live in japan before Osaka and #名古屋 but he’s from #山東😄there are painting that you can buy direct from the wall, it’s so much like a gallery and fusion restaurant kind of atmosphere so interesting😄

Increíble flavors! - Edit
I cannot say enough good things about the food here!! I ordered the cheese bread for an appetizer and the golden charm for entree; both were very tasty! The flavors exploded in my mouth! The presentation was well done and the service was very good! The shakes are also delicious. Fair prices as well. The only con is the ambiance isn’t great, as it’s located in a strip mall, but the food definitely makes up for it.

That's crazy, when I was there. They had it all stacked against the back of the restaurant. I must have gone on an off day

They didn't have indoor dining during the worst of covid. Many restaurants didn't. It shouldn't have been a surprise. They have since resumed indoor dining.

Great selection - Edit
Vegan Tree tweaks the former Loving Hut's menu just slightly and offers things like a falafel sandwich in addition to the usual soy protein Asian dishes. They also carry Vegan Treats.

Tried here for the first time and was not disappointed! The Hot Pot is so good! I asked for it spicy and they delivered. Also got the fried rice which comes with soy protein on top and the pan fried dumplings. Everything was amazing!

Awesome Food - Edit
I’ll admit the actual restaurant dine-in experience is lacking, but thats not what I come for. The food is really delicious, i personally get the cheesesteak, beyond burger, falafel balls, dumplings, and whatever dessert they have. (Their desserts are shipped in from Vegan Treats in Bethlehem, PA...and if you know, you know 🤤)
Read moreI personally wouldn’t recommend dining in here, but for take out, delivery or the occasional dine-in it’s a good choice 👍🏼

Not good - Edit
The person behind the counter was hidden away, on their phone, watching a movie? Not sure. The place was empty and had absolutely no warmth or welcoming vibes. Smelled like someone had been smoking inside, and the food was disappointing.

What a wonderful gem! - Edit

Ugh (Cigar Shop NEXTDOOR?!) - Edit
I really want to like this place but cannot give it more than two stars. The location is good but you can’t even walk in to do take out if you like to breath. The food is good though but I do t see how the food and kitchen aren’t being contaminated by the smoke shop next door. Unfortunate.
Read morePros: All vegan, All tasty. , Decent menu - like its predecessor
Cons: There is a SMOKE SHOP Nextdoor , Cannot breath when smoke shop is open, People actually SMOKE CIGARS on premises

Yummy yummy! - Edit
Vegan tree has delicious food! I love so many menu items: falafel sub, sriracha burger, Blt wrap, kung pao fusion, fried rice being my favorites! It pegs me as a kind of "vegan fast food" joint which i think is a good thing. Vegan doesn't always mean healthy and yet of course it remains much healthier than many other restaurants!

Good Tonkatsu - Edit
I tried their vegan tonkatsu and some of their spicy ramen — both were very good and I was pleased with the amount of spice they put in the ramen. It wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but I’d definitely come back here again given the chance.
Read morePros: Fairly priced
