 "I will be back..."
I tried LH last week before thier Grand Opening. I was definatly surprised by the various types of dishes they offered.
I opted to chicken out and get the fried rice with soy chicken. IT WAS GREAT.
They mentioned that the steak wrap and burger are the best tasting dishes but I was a little bit afraid to eat a fake burger. lol
They offered me a couple glasses of Lemonade while I waited and it might have been the best I have ever had.
The prices seemed reasonable and the place was spotless.
I will be back and maybe I can raise it one more star.

 "I can't wait to go back again this week and try something new."
If the opening of a new vegetarian restaurant is cause for me to celebrate, just imagine how happy I was after I tasted the food!
Jeremy and I checked Loving Hut on Friday for dinner. It's a really cute place, spotlessly clean and the staff is very sweet and helpful with suggestions.
I had the steak sandwich (one of their chef's choice dishes) and it was great! The steak itself was delicious, served on crusty french bread with crisp marinated veggies. I had a beautiful orange-cranberry juice drink called the Orange Joy as well. Mmmmm!
I can't wait to go back again this week and try something new. Everything looks great and I'm so pleased to have a veggie place on the north side of town.

" I was very satisfied..."

Disclaimer: I am a Vegetarian.
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 (pic: http://twitpic.com/3qbwy ), 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. Plates range around $6 - $10.
The only downside I saw with this place is the "supermastertv", which is playing on two ~42" plasmas hanging on opposite walls of the dining room. The channel is playing animal rights groups & animal cruelty content nonstop. To be clear, I have no problem with advocating no harm to animals, but I don't want to see slaughterhouse videos and animal abuse footage while I am eating. I would be much more comfortable if they played some other non-graphic content there.
Overall I was very satisfied and I will be turning this into a regular lunch & dinner spot.

I went to Loving Hut's grand opening on Sunday the 19th. They prepared a variety of food for us to sample, and it was delicious. I especially liked the chow mien and the fried "shrimp." The Pink Lady was also good. I think it is a mixture of cranberry juice and soy milk with crushed ice - very refreshing!
I have been waiting for more veg options on the west side, and I will definitely be going back!

"So not vegan or vegitarian but had to try this place."

First to Review
So not vegan or vegitarian but had to try this place. Good prices, around 6.50 a plate and very sizeable portions. I had the Golden Roll Vermicilli and boyfriend had the Hawaiin "burger". I really enjoyed my dish but bf not so happy with his,.... i think because he knew it was vegan tho! Loved the interior, real bright and clean. Entire menu is vegan and they promote a green way of life. While waiting on our food to go they were kind enough to give us each a glass of a new smoothie they were testing out. Loved it. Would go back for that alone. Tasted like Jamba Juice but knew it was better since vegan! Deff going back. Nice menu variety as well...only downer is hours. Monday thru Sat 11am till 9pm and CLOSED on Sundays

 "Everyone is so friendly here."
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!
