    Easy parking + warm ambience + friendly service + lovely vegan food! The lady who took my order was very sweet and she continuously checked up on the other customers as well. I got the royal noodle soup ($13.50), fabulous mongolian ($14), and thai tea ($5.50). The food was super delicious and very hearty. Highly recommend.

    Amazing service and the food was so good I'm definitely coming back and recommending to everyone! The lady who took my order was so incredibly kind and gave great suggestions on what to try. Greens on the salad were fresh and protein was very flavorful.

    Heads up to anyone who loved the old Loving Hut in Orange--it's under new ownership (same team as Sun Vegan in Fountain Valley), and things have definitely changed. We used to come just for the jackfruit salad and spicy cha cha. The flavors were so refreshing and satisfying--nothing else quite hit the same. Since the new owners took over, the menu's been totally revamped. It's still all vegan, but the unique character and charm of the original menu are gone. They also push the Supreme Master message a lot more now, and it can feel a bit much while you're trying to eat. So yeah, the food's still healthy and plant-based, but if you're hoping for the old Loving Hut experience, just know it's a different vibe now.

    Chow Mein

    Wow! I just visited under new management and the food is incredibly tasty. More delicious than I remember. The owner (I presumed) is so sweet and passionate about the food and overall veganism. The restaraunt is a take-out spot for now but you still have the option to dine in. Menu seems to still be building, but the vegan burger and chow mein are worth trying for now! The burger has no after taste and is made with a soft bun and served with a super green side salad. It didn't even need ketchup! I got so excited to dig in I forgot to take a picture before almost being half way done. Chow mein had amazing tofu and tofu beef, with perfectly steamed veggies and taste, not too salty or old. Everything was so fresh! I'm excited to see how this location under new management grows, next time I'll be trying the orange chicken.

    I am a huge Loving Hut fan. But this recent visit left me scratching my head in confusion... I ordered some chow mein with vegan beef. The chow mein arrived hard and dry. It was weird. I was so confused. Do I need to cook this on the stove? How do I eat this lol I've never ordered chow mein and had it arrive hard and dry like that. My fiancé suggested putting it in a big bowl and mixing it with the sauce. The sauce was pretty soupy so we figured it would soften then noodles? Maybe? I don't know. Did that and it was still crispy chow mein. I left the chow mein sit in that bowl for 30 minutes so that it would soften the chow mein noodles. Finally, they were edible. But the meal was super salty. Major fail. The chow mein not being prepared already was a huge hassle. And the sauce was way too salty. Just a huge bummer.

    Alternative location??

    CLOSED!! We used to frequent this place regularly before the pandemic. During the pandemic we ordered via food delivery services a few times and it was ok, but became increasingly lackluster. Chalked that up to food not being served right away. We came a few more times after the Pandemic lifted and it just wasn't as tasty as it used to be and also started feeling like like they let things go. Our most recent trip here was probably 8 months ago and you could tell their business has declined. Fast forward to yesterday they appear to have changed management and/or folded. Based on recent reviews, it seems they changed the menu and went cash only. I'm really disappointed they didn't update their business listing and we drove out of our way to dine here. Someone said the new owners are with Sun Vegan, but this place doesn't appear to be coming back.

    Suprisingly delish Viet/Thai/Chinese influenced dishes. Mixed veggies stir fry was good. Pad thai was less sweet than Thai places, which was good. Spring rolls and sauce were great. Cute and clean restaurant with good service!

    The food is consistently good! Life happened after pandemic for all and unfortunately I am unable to eat their food often...which makes me a lil sad. It is so nice to still be remembered all these years...even though we haven't dined in for years. The nice lady still recognizes us when we come in for pick ups. (For special occasions) Loving hut is still my favorite vegan food place. I still love their summer rolls and rose lemonade! I will be back to get some delicious bowl of pho when weather gets cool. Thank you Loving Hut in Orange for your delicious foods.

    My husband and I were driving through the area looking for something healthy to eat. I found this place on yelp and thought let's give it a try . I'm so glad we did . The food was delicious, we ordered Thai curry , chow mein and orange chicken. The food had so much flavor . Anne was the lady working tonight and she was the sweetest person. She went above and beyond to help us, our baby fell asleep in the car so she served us in our car . Her service alone was enough for us to come back when we are in the area, the food was a bonus. From what she said she took over the business 6months ago so she's still working on things like it's a CASH ONLY , no card or Apple Pay or anything. Go support this business you won't be disappointed. I was going to take a picture of how beautifully she plates it but we ate it as soon as we got it . It looked too good.

    What a great place to dine in. The staff is really friendly, on a name bases with most customers. So many vegan selections on the menu. The Summer Rolls were a nice start to my meal. Super fresh and not even needing the peanut sauce provided. Not a huge soup guy except this soup wow. Royal Noodle soup was amazing. I cleared the bowl and veggies. Give me more! Perfect amount of spice. Thank you for the friendly environment and service Loving Hut!

    Hi what are the ingredients for the pandan cake? I have a milk allergy; thank you!

    Thanks for checking Phan N. Since our restaurant is vegan, we don't use milk but use soy milk instead.

    This place is listed today as having outdoor seating. Is it still available? If it is, is it covered or heated? How many people can sit there? / April 25, 2023

    Covered, not heated.

    Is the place completely vegan?

    Yes. Completely vegan.

Initially, I walked…read moreinto the establishment thinking it was going to be another "fast food burger joint" but walked out craving another burger. The ambiance is minimalistic with a few tables along the wall and a long window table for solo eaters. However, the owner/cook are super friendly and accommodating. I ordered the signature and the double burger meal (w/ loaded fries). First off, the loaded fries is one of the best. It doesn't aesthetically look "all that," but it just HITS. The jalapeños and grilled onions balance out the cheese and bacon. As for the signature burger, the crispy cheese was a great complement to the perfectly seasoned patties. The texture of the cheese was just right: a nice balance of almost crispy but also gooey with a small cheese pull. Perfection. I haven't had a good smash burger in OC for a while, so this was a pleasant surprise. The establishment is located within a plaza, so parking can get a bit difficult when busy, but I came in on a Sunday afternoon and there were plenty of spaces available. I will definitely be back. A++!

    After seeing positive reviews on Yelp, I decided to try Smashburger on Chapman Ave. Unfortunately,…read moremy experience was quite different from my expectations. I ordered their Signature Smash Burger meal, hoping it would showcase what the restaurant is known for. However, the burger did not resemble the menu photos. As shown in the attached pictures, the patties were very thin, overcooked, burnt, and dry. The burger lacked flavor and was far from the satisfying burger Smashburger advertises. The bun was also noticeably crushed and flattened, giving a careless presentation. While appearance isn't everything, it didn't help when the taste was equally disappointing. The overall dining experience was not much better. Only two of us dined in, with no other customers inside. Although several to-go orders were being prepared, our food still took longer than expected. The atmosphere was less enjoyable than I had hoped. Staff members were quite loud in the kitchen, and an employee sat next to our table, speaking loudly on a phone call for an extended period, making it hard to enjoy the meal. I'm sharing this feedback hoping management will address these issues. The meal did not reflect the quality I expect from a restaurant that prides itself on its food. For the price, customers deserve food and service that match the advertised quality.

Mine came with sliced avocado (pretty much half of an avocado) which was ripe, smooth and creamy. It also came with crunchy onion strings and their special Topa Topa sauce and of course some kewpie mayo and shredded cabbage. The cabbage was super crunchy and fresh. The buns were super soft and toasted perfectly. The fries were alright. The Okonamiyaki style was unique and the toppings were tasty. My Dr Pepper was a little too sweet, maybe it was more syrup than carbonated water. Overall the burgers here were great! I also got an order for my boyfriend later that night. Ordering to go was super easy. My boyfriend devoured his Spicy Miso burger. Service here was great as well. Would come back for the burgers!

I wanted to share some comprehensive feedback regarding a recent experience, aiming to highlight both your successes and areas where further refinement could elevate the customer journey even further. First and foremost, I must commend your team for their exceptional warmth and hospitality. From my initial phone call to the moment I picked up my order, I felt genuinely welcomed and valued. This level of customer service, which often feels lacking in many establishments today, truly sets American Grub apart. It creates a welcoming atmosphere that significantly enhances the overall experience, and I sincerely hope this commitment to friendliness remains a cornerstone of your operation. However, I encountered a couple of points that, in my personal opinion, warrant consideration for improvement. Regarding the payment process, I felt a degree of apprehension about providing my credit card details over the phone. While I understand the operational need to secure orders and prevent potential losses, particularly for larger transactions, for a single item like my bacon cheeseburger, priced at $17.24 including tax, this practice felt somewhat disproportionate. I also noted the 99-cent fee for online payments, which, while minor, might deter some customers who are seeking convenience without additional charges. Perhaps exploring alternative secure payment links for phone orders or adjusting the fee structure for smaller transactions could enhance customer comfort and streamline the process. My primary concern, however, arose upon returning home. Despite ordering a bacon cheeseburger, I discovered the burger completely lacked bacon, as well as any form of sauce or mayonnaise. This oversight had a significant impact on the meal; the absence of these core components rendered the burger quite bland and far from the experience I had anticipated. When ordering a single item, the expectation for meticulous attention to detail is particularly high, as there are fewer variables. Consequently, the overall value of the meal, given the missing ingredients, was not quite met on this occasion. I did reach out to the owner privately via email to discuss these points, and I appreciate their responsiveness and transparency in addressing my feedback, particularly concerning the rationale behind the phone payment policy. It is reassuring to know that your business is open to customer input. My hope is that these observations can serve as constructive input, allowing American Grub to continue refining its excellent service and product quality. I remain a supporter of your local endeavor and look forward to seeing these aspects addressed. Thank you for reaching out.

Every word and insight you read is authentically mine, driven by my commitment to provide honest feedback.

Their smash burgers are cooked perfectly every time -- crispy edges, juicy center -- and the Hammer Sauce takes them to another level.

We usually park in the nearby parking structure, which (if I'm remembering correctly) offers the first hour free. The only thing to be aware of is that the area sometimes hosts street events, and on those days the structure charges a flat $10 fee even if you're just there to eat.

The restaurant was dark and stylish, and I immediately liked the vibe. Even though it was crowded for a Thursday night, we were seated within 15 minutes. We each picked a shareable dish to split. Predictably, my daughter chose the mac and cheese. I rolled my eyes -- it's so her -- but it turned out to be the best of the four. Maybe it was the velvety cheese sauce or the golden cracker crust that made it so irresistible, but that mac and cheese was, as she'd say, absolutely bussin'. The next standout was the maple-buttered Brussels sprouts, my man's pick. If all vegetables tasted this good, I'd eat them every day. Candied pecans, maple butter, blue cheese -- how could that not be amazing? Was it healthy? Sus, but definitely worth it. I picked the pig candy for the group, which was outrageously sweet and candy-like. Clearly, this wasn't healthy -- bacon, sugar, and rye whiskey caramel make a trifecta of indulgence. But it was so delicious, I couldn't complain. The sliders were the last shareable we tried. They were fine but didn't stand out -- the meat was a bit dry. I also ordered a cocktail (something pretty and fruity, though I can't remember the name). The bartender nailed it, delivering a delicious drink. My man enjoyed his Negroni. The service was great, and I loved the grassy area with fire pits for hanging out. Excellent place for our first night out in Irvine!
