Loving Hut

A hidden gem that is amazing. Very casual dining, but amazing food. Try the smoothies they are great as well as the carrot cake!

The presentation is simple and ordering informal, but the food was fantastic. My non vegetarian husband liked his portabella wrap and I loved my spicy Sloppy Joe. The wait was a bit long, but you can phone your order in ahead of time. Also loved the complimentary tea and do be sure to grab a slice of cheesecake — absolutely delicious! The best part is being able to pick from the entire menu.

Love love love this place! They have amazing vegan options and it’s so so good and all cruelty free:) I brought my grandparents here a few months ago for lunch and the food was fast and tasted amazing! The menu is all vegan, but has soo many different options to choose from! I definetely will be back! :)

So here’s the deal. I’m a pretty passionate vegetarian and I think about going vegan constantly. As a result, I’m always on the lookout for super veg-​friendly places to eat. This place just managed to really miss the mark for me, so I struggle to even give it three stars.
The décor here is pretty weird. There’s a small rock pond in one corner and Ikea lamps hanging everywhere. The look is completed with booths that don’t seem like they belong next to the tables and chairs. It’s a bit of a hodgepodge. It’s not the typical overly trendy place you associate with vegan restaurants, so kudos to them in a way. You can tell that the staff here is trying really hard to do a good job. They’re all very friendly, which kind of makes me feel bad for disliking my experience here so much.
At a glance, the menu looks like a herbivore’s dream come true. My friend and I got the Mac and Cheese, Buffalo Wrap, and Spring Roll Meal (all vegan, because everything here is). Neither of us were impressed. I generally adore vegan mac and cheese, but something about the dish here just tasted off. I tried to salvage it with pepper and sriracha but that can only do so much. Both the Buffalo Wrap and Spring Roll Meal were incredibly bland and I feel like I could have done a better job preparing these things in my own kitchen. My friend also said the sweet and sour sauce he asked for to go with the spring rolls was just sweet, watery ketchup. Yeah they have free tea, but that doesn’t make up for the lack of flavor.

Ohh, loving hut… Be still my heart… Incredibly selection of vegan food. Slightly above homemade food (although I’m not the greatest cook), I choose loving hut for it’s panini and burgers. Although all the food I’ve ever ordered has hit the spot. Highly recommended!

Wow. This place has such amazing food. All vegan, but taste is so so great.
We tried the dumplings, chicken sandwich and chicken over rice (all vegan). It was hard to decide which one is better than the other.
And you have to try the carrot cake. One of the best carrot cakes.
I rarely give five star. This one deserves one.

This place is so awesome we’ve been coming here for years and we’re never disappointed. We always get the phở, it’s sooo good! The mushroom panini and the raw taco salad are our faves!

We ate there twice when visiting Cincinnati. Nice menu and friendly staff! Great value for the price.

As a sometimes-​vegetarian, it was great to see a menu heavy on fresh foods and vegetables without being extremely boring. There are also gluten-​free and raw options, if you’re into that sort of thing. I’m not, so I got a spicy «Mexican» wrap with faux chorizo and sour cream. It came out quickly and was extremely delicious. Nothing pretentious or overdone here.
The menu is very salad-​heavy, which is acceptable, considering the raw audience which probably also eats here. However, I tend to judge restaurants (vegetarian or not) based on their creativity with vegetable dishes, so I was disappointed with some lackluster options here. There were also a lot of faux meat substitutes in the menu, which again, can be delicious but to me show a lack of adventure and creativity.
As a quick stop-​through, this place is a win. There’s a grab-​and-​go cooler as well, if you want some veg food in a hurry.

This place was pretty good! I’m looking to transition to vegan and so I decided to try this place out. The food here was pretty good although it was slightly bland at points. The mac and cheese was an example of that. Once I added siracha to it, it was much better. I also had the Asian noodles and that was delicious. My boyfriend had the A1 burger and he liked it, but he couldn’t tell if it was the burger that he liked or the fact that it was in A1 sauce. They have a huge variety and I definitely would like to come back and try more food soon!

So the Loving Hut is one of my favorite local finds. The Loving Hut is the perfect solution for when you are too lazy to make anything to eat… but want to eat healthy at the same time.
Although the restaurant is small with «interesting» décor of random water fountains in the dining area. Service is quick (even for take out) and the staff is friendly. They have different daily specials for soups and wraps, but almost all of the items are under $ 8.
On this occasion I got my favorite items, the Phở and spring rolls. If you haven’t had their Phở, go and try it. It’s delicious, with the perfect amount of heat to clear sinuses on those cold and gloomy days. The spring rolls are also delicious, but could be larger. But I guess at 2/​$ 1.50, it’s not a bad deal!

All of the positive things I have to say are similar to the many other reviews for this place, but overall the food here is fresh, healthy, and affordable all at the same time and I love that they fuse together unique flavors of different cultures (a lot of Asian influences) to make both eclectic and simple vegan dishes. The Loving Hut definitely changed my outlook on vegan and vegetarian food and they prove that you can still be healthy while having a satisfying and flavorful meal.
I love to bring friends here when they visit me and they’ve all enjoyed it as well. My favorites here are the CK meal and the eggroll meal. Don’t let the «fake meat» options scare you, they are delicious and the texture is pretty close to that of meat. The almond ginger salad dressing is amazing as well as the seasoned jasmine rice that reminds me of Vietnamese food from home. Also, the vegan chocolate cake. OMG. It blew my mind how flavorful and moist it was for being vegan! Get that. They also have complimentary hot and iced tea :)
I always look forward to coming here because there’s always something new to try and they switch out the daily special with new creations. All of the staff is great and friendly as well!

My mom and I eat here at least twice every week! Awesome people and awesome food. While there are almost no other fully vegan restaurants in the metro area, we are so grateful to have this one. We have found our favorite and usually stick to them (sloppy joe and spring roll or chicken meal) but I also highly recommend the raw dishes, especially the rueben, pizza, and taco salad! Raw blueberry pie is also divine.

I had to try the Loving Hut for lunch after reading the reviews on Unilocal!I try to eat healthy, and I was not disappointed. It was difficult figuring out what to order though because their menu is so large! I asked the woman waiting on me for a suggestion. She suggested to ask the guy behind me because he comes in practically every day! I did and he said that everything was good — okay, not a lot of help. I decided on the spring roll meal for $ 7. Served with brown rice (or white) and a salad. The spring rolls are grilled! They really tasted as if they’d been deep-​fried. Yum! I was definitely full when I left. The ambience is a bit to be desired. The room in the back where I sat lacks windows. The water is serve yourself, and the woman behind the counter was very nice. I’ll be back!

I was having a bad day and decided to go on a mini adventure and treat myself to new, delicious food. I chose The Loving Hut because it had such a good reputation, even though it was a bit out of my way.
I know everyone knows, but the relief of eating at a place that doesn’t serve dairy when dairy makes you sick is such a relief. Being able to eat EVERYTHING on the menu is so cool. And I did want to eat it all. I ended up just getting a bowl of pumpkin chili which comes with chips and water. People make fun of everything pumpkin, but I think pumpkin is underrated as a real food. This chili was amazing. Spicy and hearty. Dense. I couldn’t eat the whole bowl for lunch. The people who work there are so nice and gave me a lid to take it home. I also purchased a carrot cake and a cookie.
I ate the rest of the chili for dinner. It reheated just perfectly. The carrot cake was amazing. That cream cheese icing… Ah. I even shared a bit of the cake with my dog. She liked it, too. The cookie I’ve yet to touch but I don’t know how long I’ll hold out. I wish I would have stocked up on more goodies.
The history of The Loving Hut chain is very interesting, if you feel like doing a little googling.

SUCH a diamond in the rough. My coworker suggested we go, and this is now my new favorite lunch spot.
Everything is vegan, and a lot is gluten free. I have no dietary restrictions, so it wasn’t necessarily that big of a deal for me. Everything was DELICIOUS.
I got the Spring Roll Meal, which comes with jasmine rice + side salad. NOTE: Get the Almond Ginger dressing. I cannot stress this enough. If they bottled it as juice, I would buy all the bottles.
We split GF carrot cake + chocolate cake for dessert. Both were wonderful, although the chocolate cake was a little too rich. Also, cake is on sale on Fridays, so keep that in mind when planning your visit!

The food was AMAZING! I had the sunny wrap, pumpkin chili, and split a piece of raw blueberry pie. I can’t decide which I liked the best because it was all that good. The husband got a BBQ wrap and said it was as good as any meat BBQ wrap he’d had. They also have free iced tea if you eat in. The pricing is also really reasonable considering the fresh and organic ingredients.
I do think when I go back I’ll probably just get it to go though. 99% of the seating is in the strangely lit, no window back room that I wasn’t a fan of.

The Loving Hut is one of my all time favorite restaurants in Cincinnati. Healthy, organic, sustainable, what’s not to love about this place.
Back when I was eating a mainly Vegan diet, the Loving Hut was my savior. Anything I enjoyed with meat and cheese could easily be replicated vegan and in the most delicious way possible.
The staff that works there are extremely dedicated and passionate about what they produce. Talk about a friendly bunch.
I’ve tried a good portion of the menu and the one item I can’t help but repeat is the Spring Roll meal. It’s very healthy and very addicting, I didn’t know that was even possible! The Spring Rolls are cooked to perfection, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside stuffed with perfect ratio of veggies. The jasmine rice that comes with the meal borderlines the best rice concoction I’ve ever consumed. Sweet and nutty with peas and carrots, it’s heaven. The garden salad served on the side is fresh and crisp. You must get the ginger almond dressing to put on top, I’m not sure what’s all in but it’s my favorite dressing I’ve had. I wish it was bottled and sold, I think the world would consume more veggies because of it.
Even if you describe yourself as a meat and potato kind of person, the Loving Hut has something to offer everyone. Plus their desserts are the bomb, check out the marble «cheese» cake. You can’t even tell the difference.

This was by far the worst food that I’ve had at a Loving Hut. My BBQ wrap was salty but flavorless-​store bought BBQ sauce, raw gardein strips, and some lettuce. Cold and kinda slimy. My friends ordered the tempeh sandwich and udon noodles, both of which were mediocre at best. Served on paper plates.
The service here was so sweet and friendly, so I feel bad for leaving a mediocre review. This is clearly an establishment that is trying their best, and for the great cause of veganism. Other pros were free water/​tea, free wifi, and very affordable prices.

I love everything about Loving Hut. The people who work here REALLY care about this food, and whether you are just trying vegan food on for size or a full time vegan, you will appreciate that effort greatly. Everything here is vegan, so I can order without the usual questions and hesitations. Freedom!
I particularly like ordering from the raw menu, and can’t recommend the Lucky Sea Kelp dish enough. I call it a salad… it’s such a tasty combo of flavors. I have also enjoyed the Spring Roll Meal. My dining mate last time had the Vegan Sloppy Joe, and raved about it (he’s not vegan).
Now, I have to tell you about the desserts– don’t skip the desserts!!! I have tried both the Organic Carrot Cake (good, but the icing was a little sweet for me). But that Chocolate Cake omg… omg. Let’s just say that it’s a good thing I don’t live within walking distance of LH.
If you have kids, you can’t beat the kid’s menu at LH also.
I plan on working my way through the entire menu over time. With pleasure. :)
