Food is fresh and there are many healthy options, including gluten-free and raw. This is an Americanized Loving Hut, so if you're looking for those favorites like Spicy ChaCha, Noble Broccoli, and other Asian inspired deliciousness, you'll be disappointed, as was I.
Raw Taco Salad -
Anything with the word taco in it should be amazing. Point blank. Period. This was underwhelming. The salad part was a spring mixture with iceberg lettuce, carrots, and avocado added. As always, I omitted the cucumbers and tomatoes. The raw - it pains me to say this- "taco" meat fell short of flavor. The spicy cashew nacho cheese attempted to save this dish, but could not overpower the sea of bland beneath it. This was basically crunchy lettuce.
Veggie Rice -
All that missing flavor from the raw taco salad was injected into this dish. My first visit was during lent and I was eating no gluten, so I ordered this without any protein, making it GF. It was delicious! Flavorful jasmine rice topped with tons of broccoli (my fav!), carrots, and onions, all seasoned and sautéed to perfection. Then there's a Vietnamese sauce they add to seal the deal. Simple, yet remarkable.
I returned after lent and tried this with udon noodles and with the protein, which is Gardein Chik'n strips. I preferred it without the protein. The noodles were ok, but it faired best with the rice.
I also tried their desserts after lent. The chocolate chip cookie and zucchini bread. Both were very good.
I didn't frequent them as much as I would have had they been a traditional Loving Hut. That being said, this is still an awesome place for healthy, vegan, allergen-free, and/or raw meals. They even offer comfort foods like burgers (Beyond Meat and Impossible) and brats.
Being that this is Cincinnati, it's pretty awesome that they have a Loving Hut to begin with. Not all major cities are so lucky. (There is a LH location in Columbus, whose menu features some of the traditional favorites, but they were temporarily closed due to COVID-19.)
