Loving Hut

Have eaten here twice and didn't get sick. I had the noodles the other reviewer said looked like wheat noodles. They were homemade rice noodles and we're delicious. The woman who works behind the counter was wonderful, so kind and friendly. She went out of her way to make us happy. Mention Celiac, and she will make sure the chef is cautious. We aren't vegan, but the food is so delicious, I didn't notice the absence of meat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love this place! You do have to verify with the waitress about your specific dietary needs. For instance, they list the French fries as being gluten free but when I asked if the fries were fried in the same oil as the chicken nuggets, she said yes. When I explained about contamination she was very understanding and even suggested that they could clean out the pot and use fresh oil if I wanted to try the fries! I decided to try them and they were great! I have never gotten sick after eating here but you have to use your own judgment and definitely express your needs. At least one person does speak English so hopefully she's there because the food is really terrific. Sometimes they even have gluten free desserts!

This place was a disaster for me! Tried to treat myself to a gluten free lunch while on Oahu for the day for a dr appt. Parking is almost nonexistent, finally got there, the guy behind the counter does not speak a word of English. If you don't have food allergies you're probably fine eating there. I pointed to a soup that said gluten free, when it arrived it looked like it had regular wheat spaghetti noodles in it!! Wanted to ask the guy about that, but since he doesn't speak English??!! I just returned the dish and walked out, then puked up what I ate on the street, not worth being sick for two weeks over some idiots!!

Celiac friendly?

No

Vegan menu, Gluten free menu, optional gluten free choices!Desserts are also vegan

I have been to this location many times, and have always enjoyed the food and never had any reactions. There are plenty of gluten free items or items with gluten free options on the menu. I enjoy the pad Thai, Royal Noodle Soup, and Heaven Rice Rolls. They also have gluten free vegan cheesecake! Note that not every Loving Hut location serve the same items.

Other Characteristics

• Good for dairy-free

I got the mapo tofu and I thought it was pretty good! It was definitely pretty mild, I have a pretty okay spice tolerance but not extreme at all. So if I felt close to nothing, someone who has a true taste for spice will be pretty disappointed. And it’s not a big deal but I guess I assumed that rice was included since it normally is at a lot of Chinese restaurants, so I guess I was a little surprised that I was charged for it. Overall, it feels safe and it’s pretty okay, if you’re both gf and vegan I say it’s a good spot

I used to really like this place until I ordered (delivery) a fried rice they assured me was gluten free but resulted in having to use an epi pen.
