The food was fantastic and low price yum
I can't begin to say how great this place is. I went there for the first time with my son and my parents last night. They have the greatest menu...a WIDE variety of all different foods with completely different flavors. The menu wasn't just Thai or Japanese or geared towards only ONE type of food like so many other places. There's something for everyone. The menu consists of things like spaghetti, burgers, salads, sushi, raw foods, shrimp, steak...all made from tofu and amazingly tastes JUST LIKE what it's intended to taste like. My Mom ordered a spicy shrimp dish and it tasted (and even looked) exactly like shimp. My Dad ordered a chicken salad and you couldn't tell the difference (tofu vs. chicken). Unbelievable!!! My son is 7 and LOVED it! Weird!:) I hope that more people will try this place. It's absolutely excellent and the staff was SUPER helpful and friendly. The restaurant itself is very clean and comfortable and pretty. In addition, their prices are very good...so many of these vegan places are WAY over priced. I will be a regular...definitely! If you haven't been there, you NEED TO GO!!! You'll be a regular too!
This is an excellent place for vegan food lovers.
The only problem I had was that there were too many choices on the menu! :-) There were so many tasty things to choose from I couldn't make up my mind. The only thing that surpasses the exquisite food was the staff. They greet you warmly when you enter, they are exceedingly friendly, from the person taking your order, the wait staff and even the kitchen staff comes out ot welcome you.
My rating: 5 Silver Spoons (out of a possible 5)
I highly recommend.
I just wanted to take a moment to say how impressed I was with this restaurant and the staff! I truly hope they do well. My only complaint is that I live in Queen Creek and it is quite a distance from me!
Everyone is so friendly here. They give away so much, I have no idea how they make money, especially considering their low prices!
They truly understand veganism and its message. I wish all vegan establishments would model themselves after Loving Hut.
I wish them all the luck and hope everyone discovers this gem...and hopefully they will be able to open up another frnachise on the east side!
Today I checked out the newly opened Loving Hut on 35th Ave & Union Hills in North Phoenix. The food was fantastic.
I ordered the NY "steak" combo, which came with a soup of the day (very tasty vegetable soup), rice (brown or white), some side veggies (cabbage, carrots, snap peas) and eggplant with tofu.
The eggplant with tofu was very good, the skin was not chewy at all like in many other eggplant dishes, it almost melted in my mouth and it was very tasty.
The actual NY "steak" was more like a crispy faux chicken, but it was still pretty good and came with a curry dipping sauce.
They also have a wide variety of other food menu items. The drink menu is also impressive. Many fresh made juices, smoothies, teas, etc. I opted for a not-so-exotic Jasmine iced tea and added some organic brown sugar found on the counter.
My entire meal including my drink was about $9 and left me with a full belly.
Overall I was very satisfied and I will be turning this into a regular lunch & dinner spot.
I am LUCKY to live so close to this wonderful place. Friends introduced us to it and even my carnivore husband loves it. The staff are lovely and the food as well. I think one of the TV or news stations should come and visit here..the energy and menu are worth it.
