Stepping into Loving Hut Vegan Restaurant at Westfield Mall or Valley Fair Mall is more than just about grabbing a meal—it’s about joining a movement rooted in compassion, sustainability, and delicious plant-based cuisine. I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Jingwu, the owner of these two Loving Hut locations, and what followed was an eye-opening and heartwarming experience.
Jingwu was kind enough to showcase some of Loving Hut’s most popular dishes for a food tasting, and I have to admit, by the end of it, I was blown away by the flavors. One thing I realized for certain: “It doesn’t have to be meat to taste this good!”

The Loving Hut Story: A Vision of Peace and Compassion
Loving Hut is no ordinary restaurant. It was inspired by the visionary ideals of Supreme Master Ching Hai, a spiritual leader and humanitarian who believed in creating a world where all beings could live in harmony. This belief gave birth to the Loving Hut concept—a restaurant chain that promotes a plant-based lifestyle, spreading the message of kindness to animals, the planet, and ourselves.
For Jingwu, owning these restaurants is about more than just serving food; it’s about spreading compassion. During our conversation, he explained that Loving Hut’s mission is to make veganism accessible, showing people that plant-based food can be flavorful, satisfying, and deeply nourishing. Every meal at Loving Hut is crafted with love, aiming to inspire people to make choices that benefit not just themselves, but also the world around them.

A Taste of Loving Hut: Flavor That Stands Out
Our food tasting was nothing short of spectacular. Jingwu generously showcased a variety of Loving Hut’s most popular dishes, and with each bite, I realized that plant-based eating can be an explosion of flavor and texture.
We started with the vegan shrimp Saigon Rolls, a light yet satisfying dish made with fresh vegetables and vegan shrimp wrapped in delicate rice paper, accompanied by a delicious peanut dipping sauce. These rolls were fresh, crunchy, and bursting with flavor—an ideal introduction to the Loving Hut experience.
Next, we tried the vegan beef Mongolian Wonder, which quickly became a personal favorite. This dish was a perfect blend of sweet and savory, with plant-based beef sautéed in a rich sauce, served alongside onions and bell peppers. The texture and flavor were spot-on, proving that vegan food can be just as hearty and fulfilling as traditional meat dishes.
There was also the Golden Vermicelli, a dish full of vibrant colors and fresh ingredients, along with the Heavenly Curry, which featured tofu and vegetables in a creamy coconut curry that was simply divine. Every dish had its own unique charm, and I found myself forgetting that none of the food contained animal products—it was just that good.

"Be Vegan, Make Peace": The Loving Hut Mantra
What sets Loving Hut apart isn’t just the food, but the mission behind it.

Their motto, “Be Vegan, Make Peace,” captures this perfectly. By choosing vegan, we’re not only making a healthier choice for ourselves but also contributing to a more compassionate world.
Jingwu is passionate about this message. “Every meal we serve is a small step toward a more harmonious planet,” he said. For him, the act of running Loving Hut is a way to help others see how their food choices can have a ripple effect, reducing harm to animals, the environment, and improving health. Each customer that walks through the door becomes part of this bigger picture, one filled with hope and positive change.
