You know the place is good when you're full and you can't stop eating. Especially loved the bubble tea! Awesome food!

I want to try this out. I always wonder why there aren't more chain vegan/vegetarian restaurants around.
I tried this place last week and it was the strangest place I've ever been. Four people working, no one knew what they were doing. The people behind the counter spoke only broken English and were completely incapable of describing anything on the menu. The place looked much like the business that had been there previously and resembled a chain in no way whatsoever. I understand they've just been there for a few days, but they seem like they really need to get their act together if they hope to survive.
Am I the only vegan out there that doesn't go gaga for this restaurant? The food is always painfully boring and bland, and menu selections are limited. The new age cult weirdness behind this restaurant (and playing on the TV's and forced down my throat by the employees, btw) doesn't help. The stuff Loving Huts serve is the sort of thing vegans of the 1970's were *forced* to eat because they were without the wealth of recipes from inventive chefs and the readily available melange of grains, vegetables, fruits, and spices that we enjoy today. Let's not go back to that era. Sometimes simple food is good, but simple doesn't need to taste like grass and not much else.
Hi Jean see my comment to steve on the review page. We need better food everywhere I agree. If I wasn;t into full time production with my seitan I would open a place and show off some real cooking skills. I do food demos at the whole foods stores and a place called greensgrow farms in kensington. Ive been inviting other vendors there and I have rachels pantry coming and a guy named sanee who does great vegan and raw foods. He is called herbs greenhouse he is a non profit trying to launch his foods as well. We all need a push for help in this field. Have a great summer peace and out Michael C templ foods PS My product is michaels savory seitan my seitan is very different tasting than the other competitors I hand rub my seasonings into each and every batch. I am availabe in the whole foods stores and other locations around the city.
hi steve do you think this place could use seitan? i make and deliver the michaels savory seitan available in some locations around the city. Have you tried the p.o.p.e on passyunk ave or have you been to monks cafe on 16th? i do not know what they make at monks. The adobe cafe and a place called las cazuelas does a great job on the seitan. Las cazuelas is on girard near 4th and the adobe has 2 locations one on passyunk and the other on mitchell street in manyunk. I was just reading about this love hut place, sounds like they need help with cooking and alot of chains are what they are. chains. No real soul going into the food. thanks michael c
Been to like three of these before. Agree that the food was always boring and not worth the time, but since they sometimes have them in strange places like a Mall food court, I've been more often than it probably deserves, especially since I'm not even vegan. Also, Michael C, thanks for the recommendation of Adobe. Definitely going to check that out.
