| - We love this place! This is gonna be a long review, so read on if you dare :-) My hubby and I are vegan due to health reasons for over four years now, but very rarely eat out, no vegan restaurants near our home, plus we have usually been disappointed by the food or service when we have tried eating out in the past, so we gave up trying. While in Phoenix two weeks ago (28 mile drive from where we live) we found this Loving Hut on Indian School Rd and decided to give vegan eating out one more go...Thankfully we arrived in time for the lunch menu, as they close at 2:30 pm and reopen at 5:00 pm. We were greeted by smiling faces and sat where we wanted in the open seating area. We were tickled to see all the options on the menu, especially heavy on the veggies and Vietnamese leaning, as i think the owners are two Vietnamese ladies, who are there in the forefront greeting and serving. We found all of the people there to be friendly and gracious. The young lady that took our order was very knowledgeable of the menu, helping us choose items, and explained that everything would be brought out as it is ready, whereas an entree may arrive before an appetizer. We were fine with that and happily ordered away. Appetizers we chose were the Summer Rolls and Mu Shu Vegetables...for main courses we ordered the Wonton Soup and the Loving Hut burger...wanting extra veggies we also ordered the Veggie Delight entree. We were enjoying the atmosphere and the pleasant staff so much that we didn't even notice how long it took to start receiving our food, but it was not too long and the feasting began! Everything looked beautiful and tasted fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed every bite and savored the flavor and obvious care and thoughtfulness in preparation by the cooks. Maybe we appreciated it more because we rarely eat meals away from home, but we were in vegan heaven! :-) The servers were attentive and laid back, taking time to chat with us, which we appreciated. Some reviews on here are so negative, that is a shame, we had a totally happy experience, and no leftovers, we devoured everything! We loved it so much so that we drove 35 minutes again yesterday and returned with my Hubby's 81 year old carnivorous Mom, and she loved everything as well. We ordered almost all the same food as last week, but got the Heaven Rice Rolls instead of Mu Shu Vegetables, and TWO orders of Summer Rolls (delish!) plus Sizzling Rice Soup in addition to Wonton, and the Love of Family entree. I asked for water sautéing for the Love of Family veggies as well as the tofu instead of oil, and the lovely server Diana (pronounced "Dee-onna") happily saw to it that that is what I got...Yum, yum! Also, my hubby subbed steamed veggies for the fries this time (with my more healthy minded nagging) with his Loving Hut Burger, while Mom went for the fries with her L.H burger. It was awesome seeing our mom happily eating plant based food and not missing the meat and dairy she so dearly loves...maybe we can convert her to our side with enough Saturday excursions to Phoenix! Ok, we won't be coming every week, but we now know we have a place where we can thoroughly enjoy delicious, plant based food prepared and served with thoughtfulness, graciousness and deliciousness :-) infusing flavor in every bite...oh, and did I mention very reasonably priced too? We had all that food, plenty for three people, plus hot tea and coffee for only 67 dollars...plus we left what we hope was a generous tip...and took leftovers this time too! We would have happily paid more, but of course we are older and eating out is a rare event, so we splurged! Thank you everyone at Loving Hut Phoenix, see you next month!
