    I have eaten at Loving Hut Richmond weekly over the past 2 years. It really is a comfort having a neighborhood restaurant where the cooking tastes like home: no excessive oil, fresh vegetables and friendly service. My personal favourite is the Pho - they have the best vegan Pho in the city (tasty, generous portion and plenty of mock meat). The broth is very hearty (and not just water/oil like other non-vegan restaurants tend to offer as a vegan option). The menu is also very diverse, organised by Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai and Malaysian cuisines - allowing those with a vegan diet to get a taste of the various dishes that they may not otherwise have been able to taste. Furthermore each dish has a protein element (tofu/mock meats) which allows for a complete meal. The restaurant is clean (bathroom, tables) and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend and look forward to eating there again when I'm back in Melbourne!

    Delicious vegan food! All of the dishes at Loving Hut are great but the Thai pineapple fried rice is my favourite by far. You can also buy frozen vegan foods, mock meats, and even vegan pet food here.

    We had pho, chicken skewers and curry. Everything was SO tasty and the portions are huge! We loved this place. We also had a fresh coconut and it was very cold, which felt great. The menu has some amazing options and it’s almost hard to choose, everything vegan, so good! The staff is extremely nice and kind. You can get frozen food to take home!

    Yum! So yum that I forgot to take photos. this place is as chaotic, vegan, homely and hippy as they come. Not many places make me think twice about Tempeh this was one of them. It was excellent. So was the salt and pepper tofu, it was crispy and perfectly cooked and seasoned. The eggplant was ok and so was the fried rice. The remainder was amazing. Will definitely come back when I'm in the hood.

    Food is so delicious you'll forget it's vegan. Super healthy, really tasty and a wide variety of food available. Felt instantly welcomed and the staff were lovely. I had the laksa which was full of flavour and filling. We shared so many plates and got to try different foods.

    Had the pho and the Tom kha soup with noodles and loved it. Tho the mock meat were average but the soup base tasted amazing. Great service. Place looks a bit old but doesn’t affect anything. Great experience overall.

    Loving Hut specialises in vegan foods as part of the Asian cuisine. They even sell frozen mock meat. I tried their pho and it is one of my favourites because was one of the most flavoursome I’ve had. I’m sure I’ll visit Loving Hut again in the future and I would recommend it for people who like vegan foods that are part of the Asian cuisine.

    4 ⭐ The food was surprisingly tasty! Everything's vegan. They also sell the mock meat/seafood ingredients separately. Would recommend the Pineapple Fried Rice.

  • 5/5 Julie C. 4 months ago on Google • 36 reviews
    We ordered a variety of items, via Ubereats. If I could give 100 stars, I would. The flavours were truly authentic and every dish was incredible. Even my fussy partner was impressed. Will definitely be ordering again soon!

  • 5/5 Roy M. 5 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    Loving heart is Vegetarians and Vegan's paradise. I love The Thai pineapple fried rice and Malaysian Laksa.I have been there twice in last 30 days. They could change the overall ambience.

  • 5/5 Jade S. 2 years ago on Google
    Hands down best food in all of Melbourne. Great for vegans though to people just like amazing food! The food is always consistently an incredible high quality! Service also always amazing. Cannot recommended more!

    Perfect peace food ❤️?

  • 5/5 Christine Y. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a vegan restaurant that will please everyone, even the most discerning non vegans. Taste sensations include Burmese salad, chow mei fun and tom kha soup noodles. There are definitely lots more on offer. We will need a larger group of people so as to venture into them as these 3 are too awesome to miss. Service is friendly and efficient. Highly recommended!!!

    Amazing food, so delicious! Great service, and very fast. Will definitely come back if we are in the area again.

  • 4/5 Daniel B. 3 months ago on Google New
    Bit of a weird one, the food is great but the place has that fluro lit village hall kitchen vibe. Great for takeaways!

    Unbelievable fantastic service. Two vegans and two non vegans. We were so impressed. The cheif came to talk to us about our experience. We were super impressed with the food, service, and price. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 tom t. 2 years ago on Google
    The guys there are great. They never forget my face and now even remember my order off my heart. I am not a regular I go maybe once every 6 months. So this is very impressive customer service. Restaurant decor is what it is but this place is all about its food and they do it really well

  • 5/5 Jeremiah T. 11 months ago on Google
    Slammed busy and the owner was as kind and lovely as if we were the only ones there. I was there with my wife and 6yo. The food came out really quickly and was DELICIOUS. If I could eat that well every day, going vegan would be super easy. Try the sate sticks- amazing.

  • 5/5 Maggie L. 1 year ago on Google
    These guys are amazing!! They do a huge menu of vegan food of all Asian cuisines, with beautiful authentic flavours. The people there are so lovely; Tommy is always ready with a gentle smile on his face for all his customers. They’re our go-to takeaway joint - we eat there at least once a week and won’t stop going back! Thanks Loving Hut family ❤️

    Food was nice, taro dish was a bit weird but the sauce made it better.

  • 5/5 Edgar C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, cosy atmosphere, cheap prices. Also sell vegan fake meats packaged to take away.

  • 5/5 Damien W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very lovely staff with adoring attention to detail. The decadent menu is the epitome of Vegan Asian cuisine in the heart of Richmond. Will definitely be back for years to come. Would give ten stars if I could!

  • 3/5 Justin H. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfortunately we visited on a winters day, the restaurant lacked heating which made it less than pleasant. Our food was hit and miss, the satay start was incredible, but the food came in strange order, roti 5 minutes before peanut sauce, starters after main. Just a bit disappointing.

  • 5/5 Keiko H. 1 year ago on Google
    Really delicious vegan food! We had some fried rice and green curry and it was so good! Plus they have a little vegan fridge with some mock meats and other vegan foods to purchase. Will definitely come back again!! :)

  • 5/5 Kobi Z. 4 years ago on Google
    Perfect food, great hospitality, love it.

  • 5/5 Tito T. 1 year ago on Google
    My only complaint is that there are too many options 🤣 everything was great, owners are extremely friendly.

  • 5/5 Pravin K. 1 year ago on Google
    I would say best vegan food in Melbourne, not just the taste and quality of food but the energy/vibe of food is so pure.. Everything is meditative; the place, food and people.

  • 5/5 Vishvas H. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food! very kind and helpfull staff, all the dishes they suggested were amazing! notably Assam curry and sambal eggplant. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Emile S. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing food, really delicious and so much variety. Great service, very attentive and cater for dietary needs. Comfortable atmosphere. Really enjoyed it. Highly recommended. Looking forward to my next visit .

  • 5/5 Remy D. 10 months ago on Google
    Great selections of asian vegan food. Wonton soup is great, as were the mushrooms wrapped in tofu sheets. The loving hut cult to tv channel that's always playing is kinda weird, but its not a huge deal. The food is fab.

  • 4/5 Rachael M. 4 years ago on Google
    amazing food! me and my partner came here and were greeted and sat down promptly. we ordered the sweet and sour veg with tofu nuggets and the phad thai, which were both very reasonably priced. the service could have been better as wait staff weren't too attentive however there were only two people working and the restaurant was quite busy. my partner who isn't vegan said he really liked the fake meat and it was some of the best he has had.

  • 5/5 RopycightSererved 4 years ago on Google

    Fabulous South East Asian cuisine. Gluten Free options, Vegan, mock meats if you are into it. Overall very very fresh and sumptuous!

  • 5/5 Rosey 4 years ago on Google
    It's pricey but one of the few vegan restaurants that serve real vegan food. Slow service though.

  • 5/5 Jumana K. 4 years ago on Google
    Absolutely loved the meat here, and very affordable too.

  • 1/5 Siska V. 3 years ago on Google
    The food looks amazing.. if I actually got it. I ordered online assuming everything would be fine, waiting for half an hour or the food to get made and the process to proceed on the app saying it was ready for delivery. Than waited an extra 30 minutes to find they had canceled the order with no contact to me and a refund expecting to take 5-7 days to get back to my account. Terrible service, and unprofessional

  • 4/5 Kay G. 7 years ago on Google
    Vegan heaven. Tasty and creative food. The place itself is a bit run-down but having so many great food choices as a vegan is really nice

  • 5/5 jeff 4 years ago on Google
    This is my second visit and the food here always makes me satisfied! Food is Delicious and the service there is good also. Reasonable price and definitely will go again!

  • 2/5 sam s. 3 years ago on Google
    Thought I would support local business during COVID, especially one with a moral and ethical approach revamping dishes we know and love into its vegetarian and vegan counterparts. Only to be incredibly ripped off- paying $21 + $6.99 delivery for 500mL of food. Where is the ethics in that? Tried calling to resolve only to be met with frustration due being hung up on 5+ times due to poor phone line on their end and they clearly did not try to move or provide another number to call in order to resolve the issue. Animal friendly? yes. Human friendly? No Edit: I received a refund at my request.

  • 5/5 Hina S. 4 years ago on Google
    First time having proper vegan food. Pleasantly surprised with how good it takes. Had the seasonal stir-fried veggies with soy nuggets and the tropical drink.

  • 5/5 Linh N. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Angela 4 years ago on Google
    One of the few Asian vegan places around. Service feels genuine and staff are nice. Good location and food. The restaurant itself could really do with a renovation as it’s looking really outdated.

  • 4/5 Kenzie B. 4 years ago on Google
    First time visit to loving hut Richmond. I had the green curry which was a vibrant green and just delish to eat. I would say that food is on the spicey side so just beware and pick less spicey option if your not a spice fan. Me on the other hand love spice and the green curry had a good kick to it. I will be going back to this place as the vegan options are just too good to miss.

  • 3/5 Dennis C. 4 years ago on Google
    A vegan cafe. Good value.

  • 5/5 David P. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Tully'z K. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing Asian vegan food. Gotta try their Rendang and Massaman curry. 5 star place if you love to eat compassionately...and if you want to eat more compassionately this will be a great place to start?
