Loving Hut Northcote just keeps getting better and better. The food has always been good and the service has always been friendly, but the menu has gotten way more expansive. Most recently, I tried the chicken katsu curry, which is such a treat to be able to eat veganised. I also ate the crispy pork on rice (a bit dry for my liking, but still good). I would have preferred a mock pork to fried bean curd but alas. It features tapioca noodles to mimic the pork fat which is kind of freaky but interesting.

I also tried my friend's Hainan chicken rice which was a special, but hopefully becomes a permanent menu addition. I always enjoy the nasi goreng with vegan egg (!) as well. One last perk about this spot that I just discovered is that they serve coffee well into the night, which is a huge point of attraction for me.

A spacious place with lots of seating and froendly service. Being a vegan place, these was quite a variety of cuisines from thai, vietnamese, Japanese and more. A perfect place for when you're unsure what to eat.

Tofu bites - thin crisp layer dusted with flavoursome herbs, garlic and crush sea salt flakes, the tofu is ever so soft. The homemade tartare sauce was great too but the tofu is great on its own as well.

Big mac bao- it's the real deal, the sauce tastes exactly like big mac sauce and the guo bao is lightly pan fried.

The broken rice was good too. Small bite sizes bbq chicken, a vegan egg and shredded vermacelli. Very flavourful and tasty.

Always a pleasure to dine here. Its not fancy, but it damn delicious food, that even your non vegan friends will enjoy. Highlights include the crispy chicken bao, bun bo hue (my favourite but only for those who can tolerate spice) and the fried tofu puffs. We ordered the lemongrass and pineapple fish this time round which was great mock meat but could have benefited from more of a sauce. Will be back.

If you love mock meat and asian fusion, you’ll love the Loving Hut!

Can’t recommend the Southern Fried Chicken enough!! A truly meaty experience, without the guilt or cruelty. A great restaurant, doing good things, with tasty dishes to satisfy those cravings!

Popped into Loving Hut for a quick take away treat. Left with a delicious apple slice. I have had the southern fried chicken with rice here a few times and it’s 10/10.
All vegan, large portions and a great selection of desserts.

The place is the best! Don't care if you're not vegan, everything on the menu is for everyone! I've been here about a dozen times, had someing new every time and loved them all. The mock meat is fantastic (not rubbery or tasteless like others) the sauces are delicious and the service has always been quick and friendly. Cannot recommend highly enough. And if you have a "it can't taste good unless it's real meat" friend - give them the southern fried chicken, it's better than the real thing! 😀

On a chilly day, I had a cold and wanted some wholesome nourishing food. I ordered the laksa and was delighted. A bowl of absolute fresh goodness. The service was fast and efficient. Lots of space and tables so you can really relax and not feel rushed. I found it quite peaceful and quiet. I'd definately return.

Yum! We had the silken tofu pad Thai and the southern fried chicken and were so happy with our food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The pad Thai was light and lovely - packed and full of fresh veggies, though not the most flavoursome. Alec had the fake chicken and despite being a meat eater he loved it. I tried some and the batter was unbelievable and the taste was spot on. The only fault was the size of the chicken, it would have been better if the pieces were smaller and it was $25 which isn’t cheap! In saying that we absolutely loved the food and feel great after eating here- we’ll be back again 💚

BEST VEGAN FRIED CHICKEN!

We ordered the Sweet n Sour Pork, Fried Chicken on Rice and Tofu Bites. The fried chicken beats any other vegan offering i've tried in Melbourne. Nice and crunchy, big portions and heaps of flavour in the coating. The Pork in the Sweet n Sour was really nice. The sauce is a little spicy for those shy to spicy food but I loved it. The Tofu Bites were really well cooked however I wasn't a big fan of the herb coating only because I would have preferred a spicy asian style flavour instead but that's only a personal preference.

Food definitely worth the pricing, and many different options! Don't like the whole cafeteria style setting and how some food is just sitting out, but for the price the flavors didn't disappoint. It's hit or miss with some of the options, but because there are so many, everyone can find something that they'd like.

Had the katsu curry don with tofu - it was satisfyingly scrumptious.
My friend had the salt and pepper tofu served on crispy rice noodles and a dipping bowl full of sweet chili sauce. "it was nice but eh".

As a non-vegan and also, an ex-vegan as of 5 years ago, I wasn't expecting too much from here but I also appreciate vegan food as I am dairy intolerant. I went to have lunch here with a friend and we tried the Pho and Bambam (deep fried eggplant in some special sauce). Both the Pho and Bambam were excellent. I was especially surprised about the Pho as vegetarian Pho's tend to lack that rich flavour you get with meat broths. However, it was perfectly light and fragrant, with familiar vegetable stock flavours and nice array of fresh vegetables. For what it was, it was a god effort to make vegan Pho taste good. The deep fried eggplant sounded like a winner from the menu and it tasted as we expected, nice crunchy batter, delicious but probably naughty sauce over some crispy noodle things. 
We didn't try the cakes at the counter but they look yum.
I have been back a few times as I have vegan friends I usually take there and I've never felt like I'm missing out on a complete meal or that it was ever bland, it's good what they've managed to achieve here. Although there are better vegan restaurants around Melbourne, for Northcote, it's one of the better ones.

My first time to review on Zomato. Loving hut was so good, I just had to! I'm not vegan, but all the food served was outstanding. Definitely going back to explore the rest of the menu. Would've given them a 5 if their decor was nicer, and if they had more fresh fruit drink options.

I'd liked the Richmond Loving Hut well enough, and the Northcote one didn't disappoint either. In fact, it was even better in my opinion! I had the beef pho while my partner had the homemade curry, and we shared a Southern fried chicken between us. While the curry was a bit watery and underwhelming, the rest was spectacular. Easily one of the best vegetarian/vegan pho I've ever had. The fried chicken was on par with the stuff at Cornish Arms Hotel and came with a lovely dipping sauce and pickled veges which really helped to offset the deep-fried-ness of it all. Anyway, definitely recommend this place and I can't wait for a chance to visit again!

I’d been wanting to try Loving Hut for a while. Tonight was the opportunity on Uber Eats. I’m impressed. The rice paper rolls were lovely. The green vegetable stir fry was great too. The food was as fresh as and full of flavour. This is a sound take out option. I must eat in soon.

We're frequent visitors and have never had a negative experience. Staff are great and the meals are very good. My family loves the lemon chicken which has fooled our meat eating relos. My favourites are the home made curry, chili Thai basil rice and the nasi goreng. The steamed mushroom mince rolls are excellent. We always have leftovers to take home. Probably our top family vegan restaurant.

Apart from being able to eat everything on the menu (being vegan) the staff were super lovely and the food was pretty amazing!
We had the CFC fried chicken with rice. It came with salad and a sweet chilly mayo which was super delicious! And then the char fried kway teow with beef was NEXT LEVEL! The beef actually tasted like beef!

I love that this restaurant exists. I see mock meat as a humerous curiousity that is fun to eat sometimes. Loving Hut gives the impression with it's lack of meat and hippish name that it's going to be health food, but it's certainly on the oily takeaway variety of meal.

So I have walked passed this place a million times and have eaten in Restaurent's all round it but for some reason never actually walked in here. Was it the big massive space which makes it look like a uni cafeteria, the heavy sliding door, the fact that it's vegan, not really sure but I have always found this place very popular with locals and very good reviews.

Today I walked in with three of my staff for lunch. I spoke to the chef who recommended 4 dishes.

Chilli basil fried rice: I loved this the best. Very flavourful. The chef added some Thai red chilly to make it spicy. Must try. 5/5

The volcano (fried chicken): This was really different. The sauce was really spicy. 4/5

Japanese Katsu curry don: The chef made this into a main and divided the dish between eggplant and duck. This was deep fried and a bit oily. The duck was nice and tasty. 3.5/5

Pad thai: we got the tofu. 3/5.

The black currant drink was nice. Overall good experience. Costed just over $80 because we ordered for 2 mains in larger portions.

Excited about trying everything else in the menu in the near future:)

Love the concept of Loving Hut, love the all vegan menu and the food always tastes amazing !! 
I have been to a few loving huts and generally the decor is a little weird and I found this one to be no different. 
the restaurant is in a massive space and there aren't quite enough tables or chairs to fill it out so it gives of a little bit of a weird vibe ! 
however that aside the food is always amazing, I've never had to wait to long to receive my meal after ordering it and the staff have always been lovely to me !!

Called to order food, the food was delicious and fresh and full of flavour. I asked for the amount needed for free delivery and was told $35, I spent over $35 then was charged $3 for delivery. It dosn't bother mean, but I don't think you should advertise free delivery if it intact is not free. Will return and recommend! Between loving hut, the bakery a couple of doors down and Black Waffle northcote is becoming a vegan heaven.

wow !! I came here today on a groupon, $40 for a three course meal for two people. Food was AMAZING, probably the best vegan restaurant I have been to. Service was also brilliant, staff were polite and lovely, meals came quickly, prises were reasonable and there was a huge variety of dishes to choose from. The only downside was the interior design of the restaurant, it could do with a few booths, bit more casual etc. Still nice though. Hopefully when they gain popularity it can be an option! Definitely would recommend, I am definitely going to be a monthly customer, despite it being an hours drive from where I live. THANK YOU!

Volcano Chicken and Sweet n Sour duck.
2 seriously amazing dishes. And they most certainly fill you up.
My wallet was crying at the start. $19 for a dish is a little more than I'm used to pay for takeaway.
But once the food hits your tongue you realise, it's worth it. And once it hits your stomach, you realise you've got more left over than was previously anticipated when you stole an extra piece of chicken from your sister's plate (it's that good).

Do yourself a favour, whether you're vegan or not, give this place a try and don't miss out on their chicken. It'll be worth your while.

Oh my gosh this place is wow! 100% vegan and 100% my favourite dinner restaurant. It has a simple look but don't let that fool you, their food is full of flavour and their service is super friendly.

I have tried quite a lot of the menu. On my most recent visit my sister and I ordered a few things to share, we ordered the laksa, spring rolls and a noodle dish with a mix of tofu/mock chicken. First time trying mock chicken and it's been ages since I've actually had real chicken so I can't remember the taste but I can say the mock chicken is quite tasty!! The chef kindly spilt the laksa in two bowls for us. My go to meals here are always the spring rolls, nasi goreng and the laksa.

The servings are massive and I am always able to take leftovers home for lunch the next day.

This restaurant is also suitable to non vegans as the food is so amazing and versatile that they won't be missing meat.

Tried my first BBH and can say, this place has made me a lover. And i'm a fan of tofu so i love how this is vegan friendly. The icecream is so creamy!! Really loved both flavours; strawberry & vanilla. I can actually taste the coconut. The spring rolls were crispy. It was already sweet with the sweet potato/pumpkin filling so adding sweet chilli sauce was a tad too sweet. Definetly coming. I really did under estimated this place. :)

The food here is really delicious. As much as I like evil fat, salt, and sugar (don't we all), I love vegetables too, and here they incorporate generous amounts of super fresh ones into their dishes.

Really great food, especially for vegans/vegetarians who aren't used to having so many options! However, the interior decor leaves a lot to be desired. The fact that the building used to be a supermarket is very obvious and leads to quite a stark and bland environment. The food is good enough to keep me coming back in spite of this though!

Don't be put off by the cult rumours, weird sliding door entry and tacky interior decor, this is the best asian dining in Northcote vego, vegan or otherwise. Excellent quality food, very friendly staff, everything I've tried on the menu is delicious but particularly recommend the steamed rolls with mushroom mince, the salt and pepper tofu and the mushroom stir fry. MSG free and non oily - tasty, fast, healthy go-to option.

Behind the sect-like glowing signage, yellow walls, plastic bamboo, and tv screen illuminating Batman cartoons (on mute thankfully), Northcote Loving Hut is a damn good place for a consistently delicious meal, and it's huge interior makes it an easy choice for last minute dining if you have a big group to feed.

What a lovely experience for a Vegan on L Plates.  The attention paid to the appearance, texture and taste of the food was outstanding ! The service was quick and friendly, and the price ? Fantastic! I wish there were more restaurants like this around in every town, especially down in South Gippsland where I live.  It was an amazing treat to eat prawns, sizzling roast duck and southern fried chicken (and all faux) although I could swear that was exactly what I was eating, and the deserts, fresh and rewarding.  I am so glad my son brought us here for lunch.

Love Loving Hut, one of my favourite vegan restaurants! They have a great variety of food, you wouldn't even know it's vegan! They have a lot of vegan meat, egg and 'fake' food, that imitates non-vegan food. But I wish they had more fresh and 'clean' food, which isn't as processed. Everything tastes great though and they have gluten free options. Love their Vietnamese fried rice and pineapple fritter with ice cream. Really good prices, could do with a bit of renovation or fix up though as the atmosphere isn't that great. Overall a great restaurant!

Sparse decor, unlike the dishes, which are packed full of scrumptious flavours. All hail mung bean! the BAMBAM dish was an on trend mix of battered shrimp and tofu with sriracha mayo. too cool for school. too cool for Northcote. Not many Asians inside though, so I'd have to question it's authenticity.

Someone recommended Loving Hut to me and I wasn't sure about the place because of the decor, but I'm so glad we tried it. This is possibly the best veg/vegan food in Melbourne. My non-veg partner and I shared the takeaway: (all vegan) Southern Fried Chicken, mushroom mince rice balls, spring rolls, sushi, curry laksa and lemongrass soup. He said: if all vegan food was like this I'd have no problem being vegan. Honestly, everything was just delicious! I ate until I could barely move it was that good. I can't wait to finish our leftovers today and hopefully go back soon to try every other dish.

Oh, the cakes are great too!

You wouldn't know it was vegan, I swear. My friend eats here at least twice a week (usually the Vietnamese rolls with three kinds of "pork"). I tried a roll and the cold spring rolls with "beef". Loved the pesto style dipping sauce. For vegan dining open around the clock, this is a great option. Super cheap as well, which makes me like the establishment even more for not jacking up prices just because it's trendy and healthy. Cafeteria style space, but with all the offices around, it kinda suits.

Love it here! Such a cool, chilled out atmosphere and really good food! Quite large servings, last time I was there I got the Crispy Noodle Stir Fry + extra rice. Stir fry was delicious! Quite a large serving too! Their servings of rice could be a bit larger (I love rice), but apart from that it was a great feed!

Although a little on the pricey side (13 bucks for a bowl of vego Phó) the taste and service definitely made up for that. Really authentic flavours and a really extensive menu. Will definitely be back!

Loving Hut is one of those places that you try once and want to go back to again and again. It may not be that flashy looking but the customer service and food make up for the setting and decor.

I was dragged there by a vegan friend reluctantly (I’m a carnivore so this place wouldn’t have crossed my mind) but after my first time dining there I begged my friend to take me back, that week. I too have started recommending it to people who live on a diet of meat and so far I haven’t had one person give it a thumbs down. If anything they want more.

Impressive vegan cuisine. Loving Hut has delicious vegan food, ranging from fresh salads to creative and (I'm told) convincing mock meat dishes. I've been several times and every dish has been great - the Southern Fried 'Chicken' is amazing and the coconut milk based icecream is also a favourite. The staff are friendly and attentive and the ambience is pleasant. I look forward to sampling more of the huge menu soon!

Good god how do they do it? Love it!. The food here is lovely! It even looks lovely on the plate. Fresh, green and colourful, vegan! Lots of snazzy salad, perfect summer food. The staff are all friendly and helpful.

Favourite, please never leave!. Although associated with the culty 'be vegan, make peace' supreme master followers, I would happily support them... the food is too tempting.

We keep coming back for more. I have been veg for 8 years now, and nothing at all has really topped this place - there are a few of similar quality (enlightened cuisine, gong de lin, the cornish arms) but nothing that really matches these guys on price or friendliness.

fave dishes include the katsu duck in plum sauce, and of course the southern fried chicken (my boyfriend eats meat and still says its way better than kfc). We are definitely gunning for the pho and laksa (my favourite dish anywhere of all time), the well priced viet rolls, and of course to try everything else out. The bakery area is good too, I think they stock from the vegan bakery owned also by supreme master further down in high street preston.

Again, this is now one of our favourite places to go, great for sharing and a great experience for everyone.

You've gotta give it a try, even if you're not vegan!. Enjoyed lunch here with my daughter who is vegan and the food was just fabulous. We had the steamed rice rolls with mushroom mince and the lemongrass 'chicken" with rice noodles, both dishes were really delicious. The service was also very fast and friendly. Will definitely take our other meat eating family members there to try Loving Hut's super tasty food.
