I ate here this past Saturday night with my girlfriend for a later dinner. We had tried coming here previously about a half a year ago only to find that it was closed for that random Sunday. Whenever we walked into the restaurant it was fairly full with all of the booths except for one being filled while some of the tables were also empty. It has an interesting look as both the booths and the tables and chairs are white while the ceiling and floors are also neutral colors. It is almost like you are in a laptop clean room but then in the center of the whole dining room on the ceiling surrounded by some blue light is what seems to be a mural/sculpture in the shape of the a cursive L with a heart and the words "BE VEG, GO GREEN, Loving Hut".
My girlfriend and I decided to look at the menus even though they had a buffet there that night. We had a tough time deciding whether to order from the buffet or from the menu but ultimately opted for the buffet since it had many of the items from the menu on it including the dish I was thinking about ordering, a lemongrass soy chicken dish. The only thing that really concerned me about the buffet was the lack of normal vegetables on it as it only really seemed to have a single natural vegetable dish which was comprised of kale, broccoli and carrots. Everything else seemed to mainly comprised of soy protein: chicken, shrimp, beef and tofu. That's not to say that the items were not good as I enjoyed just about everything that I had with the exception being the soy sauce tofu. My favorite had to the fabulous Mongolian which resembled a beef with bell peppers and tasted exactly like some meatless beef jerky that I buy in Whole Foods while my second favorite was spicy cha cha which had some soy shrimp with some spices on it. Since we arrived pretty late a lot of the buffet was half empty but our server came around and informed us that they would make a table sized portion of whatever we wanted. Our server even followed up on that by asking us later if there was anything that the buffet had run out of that they cook for us.
The bottom line for me is that I would definitely head back here again in the future. Although I was a bit leery about the buffet at the start, I ended up really enjoying it and thought it was fair for the $14.99 price. I loved that they put many of their actual dishes on it and I now know what I will order the next time that I go in if the buffet is not available.
