    For awhile, I've wanted to try this location but it's 20 miles from my house. I've had it on my radar to try after one of the days I report in person to my office as I'm hybrid. Last week, I finally made my way there and absolutely loved it! The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating for my peanut/treenut allergy to ensure a safe dining experience. They were also patient while I looked through the menu to make my decision and offered their personal favorites. Once I placed my order, I began to look at the beautiful decor and atmosphere of the dining area. As well as continued to look at the vast menu of tantalizing vegan options - yum! Dining to fuel both your body and soul is something you don't find every day. Loving Hut lives up to its namesake in a couple different ways. Pay It Forward - Buy a future meal for someone in need. I was able to pick out a meal from the menu to purchase for someone in need to choose at a later time to provide a nutritious meal for them. In addition, they donate all food scraps to prevent food waste and help Better Piggies Rescue. As well as sponsoring piggies monthly as well. Love seeing giving back to the community for both humans and animals. Overall, I loved my experience and would recommend to others!

    Oinks in a blanket

    I have ordered from the Phoenix location once before, but this was my first time here and dining in. An all vegan restaurant makes my heart happy, but it makes it hard to choose what to order because I want to try everything! I ordered the oinks in a blanket, the crispy egg rolls, and the fried rice. It's been YEARS since I had pigs in a blanket, and these took me straight back to my childhood. The croissant was "buttery" and flaky, and the "hot dog" was thin but tasted like the real deal. Yum! The crispy egg rolls lived up to their name and were packed with filling. The fried rice was a huge portion, and again it brought me back to childhood. I haven't been able to order fried rice in forever, and the ham was good and again tasted like the real stuff (or as close as it could). Flavorful and delicious. Saving the rest for tomorrow. It's cafeteria style where you order at the counter and take a number and deliver it to the table, so I can't speak on service in the traditional sense. But the staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were clean and the dining area itself is very zen and chill. Will definitely be back!

    Always amazing food. The BEST vegan restaurant. Even non vegans would love this place. The employees are always so sweet and give me the best customer service I have ever had.

    It looks like chicken, and taste like chicken.

    Loving Hut in Tempe is an absolute vegan gem! Their menu offers a remarkable variety of plant-based options. To begin with, the variety of options on the menu is outstanding. I wanted to play a trick on my brother and mom, so I ordered a few items that closely resembled meat and poultry dishes. They couldn't tell the difference, and it was a brilliant way to showcase the flavors and satisfaction of vegan cuisine. I've ordered the golden vermicelli, fake chicken Golden Beauty and the Amazing Saute. All were delish! The restaurant's positive ambiance, adorned with affirmations, creates a welcoming and uplifting atmosphere. Moreover, their collection of vegan literature and plant-based products for sale amplifies the experience, making Loving Hut not just a restaurant but a hub for all things vegan. The staff's passion for veganism shines through, ensuring a friendly and knowledgeable dining experience. This vegan haven has won my heart, and I eagerly anticipate my next visit to explore more of their delectable menu.

    We didn't get picks of the food but this is how our set up was and the food was 10/10!

    I placed a catering order for a birthday in late February and I've been meaning to write this review for some time! Not only did the owner, Linh, work with me every step of the way and created a fantastic menu of delicious vegan meals for our guests, she was so incredibly patient and listened to my needs! Our guests LOVED the food, especially the birthday girls and raved about the quality. Thank you guys for making the birthday catering so easy and flawless and providing such delicious options. I fully recommend loving hut!!! 10/10 experience!

    The short and sweet: if you're vegan and you've never eaten at a Loving Hut (it's a vegan chain but not all homogenized like a McDonald's, each one will have a slightly different menu and there are no standardized recipes across the chains), you've gotta try it at least once! It's not everyone's cup of tea but I greatly appreciate an establishment that chooses to be all vegan. It's typically Asian fusion food, with some American options like burgers/sandwiches. The salads tend to be super fresh as well. The long and detailed xD Normally I would give this place 4 stars but because I'd like to give some extra support to a fully vegan place I think they deserve a 5! It takes commitment and conviction to be a vegan establishment. I'd know, my family owned the first fully vegan restaurant in Pittsburgh, PA and worked it for 7 years, way before being vegan was "normal" My brother and I took my dad here because he's very strictly vegan and won't eat at a place that isn't fully vegan for spiritual reasons. When you walk in the menus are displayed and you order at the counter, pay, and then get a number to place at your table (indoor and outdoor availability). Water is self-serve. They also ask that you place your dishes into collection bins when finished. The workers here all seem very happy and have a nice energy to them! The place is also decorated nicely. It's super cute inside with greenery throughout and feels very clean. Dad ordered the pho, I got the bun hue (spicy noodle soup), and my brother got the pad Thai. Loving Huts in general tend to be big on using tofu and mock meats, so if soy is not your thing your options will be more limited or you'll have to ask for modifications. They're usually very willing to accommodate. The pho definitely satisfied my dad's craving! We all enjoyed our entrees and ate every single bite. The flavors are good, granted a little mild, especially considering my soup is supposed to have a spicy kick to it. We also ordered the chow mein to-go and it smelled delicious!

    I love this restaurant with its welcoming and friendly staff, expansive menu and upbeat decor. They have childrens books, positive artwork and eco-conscious directives throughout the space. The food is plentiful and very friendly to vegans, vegetarians and those who just prefer a meatless meal. The prices are reasonable and the location is convenient. Will definitely return!

    BBQ rolls- very good

    This was my first visit to Loving Hut on southern. It was a long drive from Peoria but their social media posts made me want to try them out. I love supporting all-vegan restaurants. They were open for dine in. The service was ok. I did not get the dressing for my entree and when I asked about it the server said it doesn't come with it, but then later returned with it and said he made a mistake. The food was good, like the other Loving Huts. It was not anything special that I would need to make a return visit for. If I am in the area again I would choose this restaurant over other Tempe restaurants.

    I have been a patron of this Loving Hut and the one in Glendale for many years. The food is delicious and is definitely my go to comfort food. The staff has always been pleasant and the owner is a sweetheart. I particularly love how this location is decorated. I also think this company has good values. They promote donating to charities and they have a pay it forward option to feed the less fortunate. I will always support this small business.

    Is the Southern Location even open?

    Yes, the Southern/McClintock location is open. It has been for more than a few weeks. The day I visited was coincidentally their soft opening day.

    Fun place with outdoor and indoor seating. We came in for a Saturday brunch and it did not…read moredissapoint. I actually Yelp'd it prior to going and the menu I saw a pic of in Yelp is no longer the brunch menu. When I asked about a substitution they did not hesitate and the chef was all over making me my meal! The service is also really great here and everyone is super friendly. They offer, breakfast, brunch on the weekends, lunch and dinner so I would get over and try!

    I've been here a total of four times prior and never had complaints. Today was different. I…read moreunderstand the changes of seasonal menu but I just seem like the recent menu had no main concept. My boyfriend got the pizza and it tasted as if it were a frozen pizza. I got the bang bang shrimp and it was good (6/10). The problem that I have is the pistachio gin fizz was an absolute no! I am a HUGE fan of pistachio and gin so immediately I had to get his drink but it was beyond mediocre. Are we drinking only syrup??? My last complaint is the coconut tres leches dessert.... Do we actually know how to make tres leches or we just naming desserts however we want? Just curious. It came out super hot, steaming more like a molten cake. As a Hispanic woman, I was expecting a creamy moist cake to celebrate my graduation but this was not it as well. Last but not least if the bald manager with the orange shirt wants to eat in the back of the kitchen, not the problem I get it (I work at restaurants) HOWEVER shoving your two index fingers into your mouth to get your debris out was my last straw. Like I said I like this restaurant and never had problems but today felt like a fever dream there.

    We ordered a blackberry mojito and pear martini. The mojito wasn't to our taste, so the bartender…read morekindly swapped it for another pear martini. Afterwards, he mentioned that he tasted it and agreed about our comments- I appreciate that level of attention. Shortly after, the food arrived. Spicy pork tacos for me, and BLTA for my wife. The tacos looked a little overdressed. I was so wrong. Flavor and texture were balanced perfectly. The tortillas were firm, but again, perfectly suited to the juicy pork, that had a teriyaki vibe. Sprouts, carrot and cucumber toppings worked well, despite my expectations. The BLTA was HUGE. Great flavor. Both entrees were ordered with sweet potato fries. Unusual cut to them, but seasoned perfectly. I paired mine with chipotle aioli and ate every last one. My only complaint is that I'm only spending one evening in the Phoenix area, and won't be back soon. I would eat this food three times a week without hesitation.

I ordered the pesto goat cheese spread with crostini - it was way too think and hard as a rock. Very hard to bite in to. The spread needed salt. We ordered the Pacos Tacos. I took off onions and bacon. My husband had it just the way it comes. We really enjoyed those. The black beans it came with was absolutely delish My daughter and her hubby ordered the grilled cheese. My daughters came with pear spiced bread - tasted like raisin bread - none of us cared for it. Service was good. Not a place we would go back to. I do like that all salads could be turned in to a wrap. The drink menu looked fun. Cute atmosphere- you should secure a reservation.

One thing we love about the Pita Jumgle is that they have a designated vegan menu and it's great! We had the Caramelized Cauliflower, Tofu Tikka Masala and Falafel Pita. Pita Jungle always has a great atmosphere and is always clean and professional looking. Our service was spot on yesterday. Our waitress was energetic, helpful and attentive. I'm so sorry I don't remember her name which I always try to do and feel is so important. She was great! Such a fun and tasty experience and a wonderful way to end our time at the Art Festival.

I came here with a party of about 9, and all of us combined could not finish the 2 hummus starters we ordered. I could not finish my salad either. We came an hour before closing on a weekday. This restaurant was not busy at all, but our server was a little frazzled and did not take our order for some time. It also took some time to get our order out. They forgot my side of grilled veggies as well, but they were very nice about it. My salad was unfortunately too wet, and the flavor was just okay. The drinks, hummus, and pita were quite good though. If you're looking for a place to eat near ASU that's on the healthier side with large portions, this place is the one for you!

    The Chuck Box is an extremely well known and popular Gem located at the heart of the ASU Tempe…read moreCampus. It has been around for DECADES and there is no question as to why it is still there. When visiting the Chuck Box know that it is cash only (ATM on-site), and super popular. There WILL be a line. The line does move extremely fast, due to the fact that the line cooks are definitely not waiting until you get to the counter to take your order. They will call out to anyone in line (regardless of where in line you are) and take your order, yelling it out if needed. It is such a unique and fun experience. The burgers are not overpriced and are phenomenal! It is self serve toppings, after you pay for your order you can go to the topping bar and add as much to your burger as your heart desires. They additionally have other food on the menu such as veggie burger, chicken sandwhiches, chicken tenders, onion rings, fries, fried zuchinni, fried mushrooms, and more. I have had both the fried zuchinni and mushrooms and I would definitely recommend both options! Since it really popular, be aware that there is limited seating and it is crowded. It is additionally extremely warm (especially during the summer) inside the building due to the grill. If you have not already checked out the Chuck Box, I would definitelly recommend that you check it out as soon as possible!!!

    After reading the glowing reviews, I had high expectations. Unfortunately they weren't met. This…read moreplace is ok, maybe even good, but not what I consider excellent or the best burgers in Arizona. For cash only, the prices seem a little high to me also. To start, my burger tasted pretty good. The cheese was good. Bun was a little dry and stale. The lettuce was yellow and chopped and looked several days old and slightly rotten. Two of my tomatoes had active mold growing on them. It was too dark inside to see it but we ate in the car and saw the moldy spot then. The fries are good but way too salty. We really liked the fried mushrooms. But we made our own dipping sauce which was better than the ranch they give you: mix 2/3 mustard and 1/3 Mayo. Tangy and delicious. We get these at "The Windmill" when we go to the jersey shore and the sauce that comes with the fried mushrooms is a horseradish sauce which is amazing (hint hint, Chuck Box). I would eat here again but bring a flashlight to inspect the produce and lower my expectations. It was good, not great. It smelled kind of off in here also. The AC and vents probably need to be cleaned.
