Tl;Dr half the food is vegan junk food, the rest is Thai.
I was curious and on Google the place and menu looked good. We’ve been vegan for about 3 years and are periodically looking for good vegan restaurants.
The menu has quite a variety, sandwiches, pasta, Thai, rice.
The owner was very friendly and the food came pretty quick We choose the spring rolls, chick-un burger with fries. The spring rolls were ok but clearly frozen, and the sauce was water and tasteless, not sure what happened there.
The Chick-un Burger was barely warm in the middle and looked like the Morning Star brand. Sadly the fries were very well done.
Perhaps we should have gone for the Pad thai or fried rice, but we’re just had that somewhere else.
Looking inside the “Market refrigerator”, explained the fast food type menu, Impossible Burger meat, Morning Star and Loving Hut braded frozen food for sale. Basically processed vegan junk food, which is very ironic because the books that are there on the shelf include several Plant Based Whole Foods authors, including Rip Esselstein, Forks over Knives, Dr John Furman etc.
I get that this is a restaurant chain, but I have seen that concept executed better.

Wow. What an experience. My daughter loves this place. She is vegan but not by choice. She has a dairy allergy and it just makes sense for her to go the vegan route. Her birthday is coming up and I went to purchase a slice of their Biscoff cake. I ended up buying an entire cake and Thu (the owner) was incredibly sweet. She gave me multiple slices to take home just to try. We spoke for a bit. She told me it’s just her and her husband who are in the store. Very very kind woman. I could feel her heart the entire time we spoke.
Go support this family. We need more people like this! Thank you so much . It’s wonderful I have options for my daughter

Food was great. 1st time having vegan shrimp. Tasted good and didnt feel slow the next day. Also one of the few places that serves quinoa salad, which also tasted/felt great. Carrot cake was very good too.

I cannot recommend the food here enough! Not only was the food delicious, but the owner was incredibly kind. Please make sure you get some cakes and cookies in addition to the yummy food! They’re light and fluffy and not too sweet: no matter which flavor you choose you will be craving another slice of perfection. Will definitely have to come back soon!

LOVED: The Quinoa Festive Salad and the Spring Rolls. YUM. The flavor was light and warm and filling. Everything was very fresh. The owners are friendly and helpful. My husband had the Taste of Philly, which was also very good. I love that they label the food for gluten and soy and they label when you can exclude gluten and/or soy. There are plenty of enticing gluten and/or soy free options. I also love the price. Even though I’m not vegan, if I lived here, I’d be a regular customer!
LIKED: It’s a deli atmosphere, simple, plain, clean. I like that it’s very light.
NO THANKS: I wish they had a non disposable plating option for dining in.

We are always looking for delicious vegan cafés and this one is one of the best! The food is delicious! The meatballs Sub is fabulous w big meatballs and tasty marinara with stringy cheese texture of mozzarella. The Fettuccini is delicious too. We love the market too and bought some items we love… Sophie’s vegan shrimp is delicious! It’s great to know you can still enjoy scrumptious food with no animals for food

I knew about Loving Hut in San Diego and was ecstatic to find one in LA county! Thoung (the owner) is the sweetest, kindest soul with the most genuine smile He was authentically connecting with my friend and I through conversations and thoughtfully answered questions when we were being indecisive – everything on the menu sounded sooo good! Not only was the food good (highly recommend the croquettes (pictured) and cakes!), but the experience was the BEST. We were offered samples when freshly baked cakes were being cut and shared a lot of laughs. We were only passing by this neighborhood on our way back to LA, otherwise we would definitely come back to support this business more often. This location has been open for 2 years and we hope it will be open for many more ❣️
More info: there is a parking lot, about 3 tables with 2-4 chairs each, a small grocery section of vegan foods, local artist goods, order at counter

This was a nice little vegan place. They had a varied menu and the food was good. I had a vegan Philly sub and nachos. Service was nice and quick. I’ve been to other loving huts and this one was pretty good but not my favorite. Food maybe could use a bit more seasoning but I’m picky with my reviews. It was good food and I definitely recommend it.

Nice little vegan cafe. Clean place, excellent food, courteous and quick service, not too expensive. We ordered a variety of dishes. The person also explained the Vietnamese salad that my husband ordered.
