Planta Queen

What an amazing experience! Accepted my reservation early. Tasty non alcoholic drinks, I love the functional aspect! The hand rolls, 1000 layered potatoes and the poke bowl were so delicious! Cassi was amazing, the service was seamless and so quick. Multiple people helped me. I felt so welcome, thank you again for a top tier experience.

I had been looking forward to trying Planta Queen, but unfortunately, it felt a bit overrated—or maybe I just had high expectations based on the glowing reviews. While the food was decent, it didn’t quite live up to the hype for me. We started with the Bao Sliders, which had a decent taste but didn’t seem to use any mock meat for replication. The portion size was also disappointing—we only got one small sliders, which felt underwhelming for the price. The Spicy Salmon Hand Roll was just one piece, and while I appreciate the effort in crafting a plant-based version, the taste was just average. On the other hand, the Crispy Rice Roll was quite nice, and the Truffled Mushroom Fried Rice was flavorful and well-prepared. The highlight of the meal was definitely the Chocolate Brownie, which was really good—rich, indulgent, and a satisfying way to end the meal. Overall, the experience wasn’t bad, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations, especially given the portion sizes and some of the flavors. It’s a nice spot for plant-based dining, but I wouldn’t say it’s a must-visit.

I have been to Planta more than 4 times now! I am a preferred vegetarian and love this place because the menu is all vegan. Every dish in the menu is mouth watering! I got my mom here too and she liked it so much that we came back twice. It is great to see how they keep changing the menu so everytime you visit you can expect so try new dishes. However, I want them to bring the rainbow sushi back to the menu it was my favourite!!! Overall great food, great service, awesome location and one of my favourite restaurants in NYC.

We had the most incredible experience at PLANTA! The food was absolutely exceptional, the service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was beautiful. We ordered the bang bang broccoli and the crispy rice for starters, and for our main, we ordered The Torched and Pressed, and Volcano roll. I highly recommend the Bang Bang broccoli (we didn’t get photos because we ate it too fast) which is a delicious creamy savory and fried broccoli, and the torched and pressed which is a phenomenal avocado roll with truffle. Will definitely be going back anytime I visit NYC!

The three of us shared the Baked Crab Roll, Queen Caesar, Bang Bang Broccoli, 1000 Layer Crispy Potatoes, Udon Noodles, and Singapore Noodles. For dessert we shared the Pumpkin Cheese Cake. All were delicious, perfectly prepared and presented. Efficient and friendly staff. Lovely ambiance. Very popular too.

Exceptional vegan food that makes you forget that you are at a vegan restaurant, with strong Japanese, Asian and some new American influences. Decent prices, nice ambience and wonderful selection, primarily designed for sharing with a group. They have great daily specials/ deals as well. Very strongly recommend. Our favorites were the torched and pressed Maki roll, Bang Bang broccoli and the special Black summer roll but everything we had was great and bursting with flavor. Our favorite dessert was the matcha cheesecake. The mocktails were also quite good, especially the spa day rose.

Was looking forward to coming here for a while, so came on a Wednesday night. It was pretty busy but I grabbed a seat at the bar. I got the beef and broccoli for my entree and the matcha cheesecake for dessert. The beef and broccoli had nice flavor and I liked the addition of tofu for some more protein and a different texture. However, a lot of the "beef" was too crispy/crunchy and some pieces were borderline burnt, so it didn't give a very beef experience. The matcha cheesecake was also tasty, with an excellent smooth texture, and the berry compote was a nice way to cut through the richness. Besides the green color, there was nothing else that made this a matcha cheesecake. I couldn't taste the matcha at all - all I could taste was strong coconut flavors (which wasn't described on the menu) and the buttery crust. I like coconut, so it was still yummy, but I would strongly suggest avoiding it if you don't. Would come back to try some different items.

A full vegan restaurant with so much variety and amazing dishes. We reserved a table for Monday evening dinner with friends. Our table was ready at scheduled time upon arrival. The has two floors, the big bar is on the first floor, lower floor has a smaller bar and few more dining space, with some wonderful interior. The menu had lots of small plates, sushi rolls, shareable entrees and of lots of drinks. We ordered 10-12 items all together. Most of the dishes were really incredible. Some of the best ones were bang bang broccoli, bao slider, avocado lime tartare, chili garlic tofu, dragon roll and spicy tuna roll. All items came out at a decent pace, we were able to enjoy the dinner for almost 3 hours. The 500ml sake was got enough for 2 rounds of shots for 4 people. I liked the cucumber mint lemonade as well. We ended the dinner with a chocolate brownie and matcha cheesecake, both were decent dessert items. The service was amazing throughout the night. Our server was a pro. He kept checking on the table, took out empty plates, kept filling up water and drinks. Never thought a vegetarian restaurant could be this much creative and popular, was really amazed by the experience.

Oh my gosh, the food was simply amazing! My boyfriend's favorite is the Spicy Tuna Roll, and I absolutely love the Red Dragon Roll. Everything tasted so authentic and flavorful. We're not vegetarian, but we came to visit with my cousin's vegetarian girlfriend, and I'm so glad we did. I've been here before and strongly recommended it to them. Definitely order the rolls and tartare--the Gyoza was outstanding: crispy and delicious. Another standout was the Crab Rangoon, which had an absolutely excellent taste. Every time I tried something, I had to check the menu because it was hard to believe it was vegan--it tasted so real! We tried the Japanese steak for the first time, and holy cow, the texture and flavor were amazing--it genuinely tasted like meat. The place is absolutely beautiful. It's slightly dark in there, but it's a pretty ambience and gives it a very intimate atmosphere. I love the bar and the servers are fantastic. Oh, and don't skip out on their drinks! We will definitely be back.

my vegan friends said this was their favorite vegan restaurant in NYC so i had high expectations. it ended up being very hit-or-miss. the highlights were by far the japanese sweet potato appetizer (perfectly charred with a lovely miso glaze - i would come back just for this) and the Torched and Pressed - it sounded boring but somehow the combo of pressed rice, avocado, and torched truffle was so good together. the bao slider was just ok; i thought the fried mushroom was a bit dry. the al pastor bowl with pineapple was tasty and had a great spice mix but i didn't notice that it had potato "chorizo". the green goddess was fine but i wouldn't recommend the chick'n cutlet addon as it tasted kind of odd and not at all like chicken. the main disappointment for me was the truffle cream udon. maybe it was just an off night but the sauce was watery rather than creamy and had a strong coconut aftertaste; the noodles were too soft. the space is on the noisier side but feels very hip. we tried the non-alcoholic paloma and cucumber mint lemonade - both were tasty but especially the lemonade.

Such a delicious vegan Asian inspired restaurant in Nomad. We really loved the tuna sushi, pad Thai salad, lettuce wraps, and Dan-Dan noodles (this last one was to die for and I could've sat there all night eating this!). We had some kind of tofu mushroom garlic dish, which we disliked immensely so skip that one. Cocktails were clever and inventive. Service was great as the waitress kept checking in on us. You should note the tables are tight and right on top of each other (and small). You're definitely gonna feel close to your neighbor, and like there's not enough room on your table for all the food!

PLANTA Queen Nomad is a vegan restaurant and we were in the mood to eat light before a late dinner. The restaurant is nice with black and white tile floors. Unlike most restaurant, the hostess counter is half way inside the restaurant, past the bar, past 5 small tables. There were about 10 additional tables deeper inside the restaurant. They prefer reservations but the hostess was able to find us a table. She helped us "book a table" and within 2 minutes, we were seated. The table was so small across the bar, so was probably intended for quick drink (as an alternative from sitting at the bar). If I would had known than I would had opted for another restaurant down the street. The restaurant is cute place, lighting was very dim (like some energy saving half-light) for atmospheric reasons which I didn't mind but can be difficult to read the menu. Two of our party were not vegan and couldn't tell that they were having plant based meat!! We also got the al pastor bowl which had a very large serving size and was very tasty! I got the spring rolls and the spicy tuna hand roll and both were good, the presentation was nice but the serving size was small for the price.

We originally wanted to come here for Monday specials but they're only after 5pm. We ordered the bang bang broccoli (so flavorful and crispy, wish it was less saucy), the spicy tuna roll, torched and pressed, spicy crab, sweet potato hand roll and the bao buns. Our favorites were the spicy tuna and torched and pressed. They have such good happy hour deals, would definitely come back for that.

Second time here and honestly very disappointed. I was excited to come back but the novelty definitely has worn off. The concept of being all vegan is very cool but I felt like most dishes were underwhelming. I was particularly excited for the udon noodles but they were lacking flavor. The torch press roll was pretty good, and the bang bang broccoli was nice but the portion was small for the price. The chicken bao bun was also nothing special. Additionally, we were seated in the front of the restaurant and we felt completely forgotten. Our waitress only came over 3 times and we had to flag her down for water after waiting 15 minutes. Overall I wouldn't pay premium prices for subpar food and less than average service.

I came tonight with a few friends for dinner. We didn't have a reservation, but it wasn't super packed and we were able to get seated before happy hour ended. The space itself is quite nice, with a large bar up at the front and lots of tables towards the back. For our drinks, we ordered the dragon and lychee martinis, which were delicious. For food and since everything was meant to be shared, we ordered the bao buns, the crab and sweet potato hand rolls, the cold peanut noodles, the summer rolls, the firecracker wings and the chick'n fried mushrooms. Everything was super flavorful with the standouts for me being the sweet potato hand roll, the bao buns and the firecracker wings. The service was attentive and we were able to order fairly quickly after sitting down. I would definitely come back again!

Sushi is my favorite food. If it were up to me, it'd be my last meal. Which makes being in a relationship with a vegetarian very hard. I don't want to say that PLANTA saved our relationship, but I'd be lying if I said this place hasn't greatly improved our happiness as a couple. The atmosphere is cool, staff are friendly, and everything we've had here is delicious. The sushi is especially great, it's shocking to me how good it tastes and how close the consistency of fish these people are able to get with just vegan ingredients. It's nice to be able to come to a restaurant and have my date look at a list of options rather than limitations. On our most recent visit we came for their all you can eat maki roll deal, which is an absolute steal. We ate to our heart's content, downing every roll on the menu (and a few more than once). The Torched and Pressed is by far my absolute favorite - the seared avocado and miso truffle glaze tastes decadent, similar to the way uni melts in your mouth. Even die hard pescatarians will enjoy it here. Don't skip this place.

The Quick: excellent vegan food with fun specials on certain nights of the week. Our meat eating friends enjoyed it as well! Trendy and fun vibe The Details: We really enjoyed dinner at this fun Nomad spot. The service was excellent and super quick, The Vibes were good, and the food was delicious. Overall a fun spot. It was cool that on Monday nights they have all you could eat sushi rolls or discounted options. The Damage: a bit pricey, but as mentioned they have cool specials during the week that are worth checking out

We came before a show and were running a bit late which they accommodated. Everything was delicious. The sushi roll wish crispy onions on top was our favorite. Very hipster vibes inside. You'll definitely want a reservation on a weekend, probably even a weekday evening.

Stop everything you're doing and just go here. I've been wanting to visit planta for a really long time now. I used to live in jersey & was able to visit nyc whenever but of course, planta came to town after I moved and since then, I've just been drooling over the menu. I visited mid November for a late lunch with 4 of my friends. We got seated fairly quickly & there were plenty of diners at the same time as us. First off, I'm a vegetarian but allergic to tree nuts, so when our server came around, she adjusted my menu to cross off the items that I wouldn't be able to eat. I LOVED that. The guys had ordered the fresh juice to start, and my girl friend & I ordered cocktails - mez cal me maybe & a cucumber mule. Both were outstanding. For food, we ordered spicy tuna roll, summer rolls, bang bang broccoli, lettuce wraps and more. Everything as so delicious, even my husband thought so and he's a carnivore. Definitely recommend this place & I absolutely cannot wait to be back!

My first time in a vegetarian restaurant and may I say that I'm blown away by the flavor of all the dishes. I like everything that we ordered. Layers and layers of flavors. Beautiful plating. I enjoyed it visually and tasting it. Service is wonderful. Restaurant vibe is really chill, people talking and laughing, nice decor on the wall. Definitely recommend!

Stopped in solo for lunch last week and had an amazing time! Beautiful room, excellent service, and I ordered too much food and ate it all, lol! Everything was delicious, and beautifully presented. Planta Queen remains one of my favorite restaurants.

Incredible vegan food. I recommend the bag g bang broccoli, the Cesar with crispy mushrooms, layered potatoes, and watermelon sushi. This is our new spot for vegan food.

Came here again with parents who are vegetarians, and they loved it. Also a great place to impress the omnivores. Quick seating for Sunday lunch with a resy. Good background music. Waiter is responsive. We LOVED the torched and press. And then the udon noodles and eggplant. Everything else was okay. Least favorite, not pictured, bang bang broccoli

I heard a lot of great things for this place and I love that it's a vegan sushi restaurant. However, I was a bit disappointed by the taste; all of the rolls tasted like just rice and vegetables and there wasn't anything too special honestly. I think my favorite would have to be the bang bang broccoli but I could have made it at home easily. Dan Dan noodles were on the saltier side so I was not a fan. But the presentation was beautiful and I loved the ambiance inside. Maybe I should have ordered something else, but I probably won't try it again if I didn't want anything specific. Everything was also pretty pricey

Decent spot for vegan food, but not life-changing. Decorated like Miami exploded in midtown. Everything leaned a little sweet or fried--not perfectly ideal, but solid if you're vegan looking for a treat (sorry, vegans. I need fish not watermelon on my nigiri). The cubed potatoes with fake caviar had an odd coconut flavor that threw me off, and the bar staff seemed confused when I ordered a dirty martini. Like they've never seen an olive. Lol. The vibe was beyond fine--a little hot even for the chilly nyc night. 3/5, maybe a 7/10. Not wildly amazing, but much better than mid. Would I go back? Sure, but I wouldn't sprint there.

This spot nails the flavors, service, ambiance, and variety! I've been a couple times and have always loved my shared plates and cocktails. Don't miss the sushi- try a couple different rolls.

My friend is vegan and gluten free, and Planta had so many options for her! This is a great spot, and I really loved the creativity that was on the menu. It's actually incredible that everything on the menu is vegan. That being said, what I had was decent, but not great. We shared the crab roll, and I ordered the scallion pancake with egg. The crab roll was soft and had great flavor. I only wished that it had some kind of difference in texture like a crunch factor, or some kind of difference in taste as I found it somewhat one note. Not to go all food network, but maybe some acidity would have helped it. The scallion pancake with egg was underwhelming. The egg was scrambled which didn't make any sense to me as that meant that I couldn't pick the wrap up since the egg was falling out of it. I think it would have made more sense to fry the egg or make it over hard so that it was one piece that would make it easier to eat. I had to eat it with a fork and knife because of this. The pancake itself was also extremely flour-y and didn't have that flaky quality you crave in a scallion pancake. It was more cakey than anything. The eggs were nicely seasoned though. The interior of this place is also really beautiful. I'm not sure if I just ordered the wrong thing, but I would still recommend Planta to any vegan eaters who are looking for something slightly more upscale.

Went with some friends on a Wednesday when their bottles of wine are half off (so basically free) and we shared a bunch of dishes including two noodle dishes (the truffle one was so rich!) and a seasonal shishito pepper small plate. It was pretty busy so there were some issues with our order but they were super helpful in setting it all straight.

Probably the best vegan food you'll ever have. I'm not vegan, but I loved everything I ate at PLANTA Queen! It's going to be crowded and loud indoors and so we opted for outdoor seating, and 10/10 would come back. Be sure to make a reservation! Recommending the Ahi Tuna Roll. You can't go wrong with that. The Crispy Mushroom Bao. And the Mushroom Truffle Udon!

We were here for a friend's birthday and were not disappointed. The food was perfect - we almost tried all the appetizers on the menu. I personally had a Kimchi fried rice (reminded me of Schezwan fried rice from India!). Even our non-vegetarian friends loved all the items they tried. The place was buzzing with patrons. The service was good for the most part - except where the change in shifts messed up our final check. Would 10/10 recommend.

This is my first time trying vegan food and the dishes were all so good! My favorite dish is the bang bang broccoli! I love how the fried layer of the broccoli was still crispy after being tossed in sauce

I can't say enough about Planta! It's such a vibe! The interior design is dark, modern and chic. The staff is amazing! I wish I could remember my servers name; they had the best energy and was so charming! His energy was infectious! We ordered several dishes and each one were so tasty. The bang bang broccoli is a MUST. So is the crispy rice. The only dish I didn't like as much was the faux oxtails. The flavors were spot on but the texture was off for me. I dont think that would be a problem for others though. For a vegan spot, you don't miss the animal products at all. The drinks are also really good. So if youre going for happy hr and a quick snack or dining, you will enjoy it. The only negative is the price and the serving sizes. A little on the pricier side and not as much food. Other than that, I love Planta!

Beautiful ambience and one of the best plant based restaurants that I've been to! Our favorites were the 1,000 layered potatoes, crispy rice and unagi eel :)

This is an exquisite dining experience if you are vegan, vegetarian or just appreciate great vegetarian food. They have daily specials, but the key to having a good experience is to go early. There is quite a long wait, even with a reservation we waited about 40 minutes to be seated. My friends and I went on a Monday for their all you can eat sushi special. It was a popular option though, the kitchen was backed up with orders, so I would not recommend ordering this if you go after 8pm, they may not be able to accommodate. They only allow one roll per person at a time and they were anticipating 45-60 mins for rolls to come out. They also price sushi special on Monday, where maki, nigiri and hand rolls are $9 and under. The highlights were the crispy rice tuna, dragon roll and glazed miso roll. Meal and ambiance were fantastic, flavorful and filling. I recommend getting a spread with noodles, rice and some of their wok or small plate items. Overall this was an incredible and enjoyable meal and great if you are boujee on a budget, but love fine dining!

Even on limited time, I make it a priority to visit PLANTA whenever we're in the same city. I walked here from the Empire State Building, and it was bustling on a Saturday evening. I happily sat at the bar. FIRECRACKER ROLL This was on their April exclusive menu. Filled with Japanese sweet potato, avocado, unagi, and topped with gochujang mayo & chili salt. DELICIOUS! It deserves to be a staple menu item. TORCHED AND PRESSED One of my go-to menu items. This roll is so melt-in-your-mouth creamy. I drool every time. I even convinced some girls sitting at the bar to order this roll. BANG BANG BROCCOLI My numero uno go-to dish since I visited the SOBE location a few years ago. Will never not order this. Crunchy. Flavorful. Amazing in every way. As they were leaving, a couple asked me about this dish and I let them each have one floret. They were sold! (Not all PLANTAs have the same dishes, but luckily, two of my favs have been at all the ones I've visited: FL, CA, IL, & NY.) TRUFFLE RICE I tend to avoid the main dishes and stick with starters and sushi, but I wanted to try something different. Unfortunately, I should've followed my instincts. It had a nice flavor to it, but it was dry and the rice was overcooked. Disappointing. There was so much potential with the cumulation of ingredients. As a PLANTA Passport holder who doesn't live near a PLANTA, I was excited to be able to use my birthday reward - a free dessert! But they didn't have my fav available- the giant chocolate chip cookie, so I ended up passing on dessert. Service was great. As busy as he was, he kept my water glass filled. The worst part about my visit is that I rushed out to catch my Uber back to Brooklyn and left my leftovers on the counter. I may have shed a tear about it. Tip: there are outlets and hooks at the bar.

Planta is always must visit when we travel to New York. They have a lot of incredibly delicious plant-based dishes. However some of the dishes are more of a miss. For example I had the Singapore noodles during brunch and they were fine, but needed more seasoning. They also have a decent happy hour deal for the last hour the restaurant is open. The ambiance is New York chic and the service is always very fast!

My friend is vegetarian so we decided to try this place out. The vibe and food were all really good. Service was also top notch. UNAGI EGGPLANT NIGIRI (2 PIECES) miso truffle This is a must get. The eggplant really mimicked the slimy texture of an eel and the taste was on point with unagi sushi. Maybe even better. AHI WATERMELON NIGIRI (2 PIECES) ginger, citrus soy gluten free The flavoring was really good, but it doesn't beat the eggplant sushi. Their sushi rice was flavored really well, giving each piece a flavor bomb. It doesn't actually taste like tuna but looks close enough to it. TORCHED AND PRESSED avocado, miso truffle glaze gluten free This is really good as well, on par with the eggplant sushi. This is also a must try. BANG BANG BROCCOLI sweet chili, peanut sauce contains nuts gluten free Reviews said this was really good and it really was. A lot of flavor, crunch, and it felt substantial. 1,000 LAYER CRISPY POTATOES caviar, sour cream, chives gluten free Personally didn't care for this dish because the caviar wasn't really close enough to real caviar because it didn't have enough seafood flavor. The potato was good though but it was massive. We are friends with the table next to us and gave them the remaining two we had and they seemed to enjoy it. My friend and I thought it was ok. SCALLION PANCAKE EGG WRAP kimchi, hoisin I didn't care for this dish either. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great. It's not particularly memorable. THAI LETTUCE WRAPS shiitake mushrooms, tofu, lemongrass, crispy rice noodles, cilantro, nuoc cham gluten free This was really good. The mushrooms were packed with flavor and felt like real meat. I'd recommend. it's a matcha: oat milk, matcha powder It was a fine matcha, nothing too special. chaga chai'ccino: turmeric, cinnamon, organic chaga, add espresso If you like chai latte, you'd like this. Overall, really good experience! I'd come back again even if I'm not vegetarian.

As someone who usually prefers her meals with meat as the protein, this vegan restaurant did not disappoint! I highly recommend going. The space was soo cute, Tulum vibes. A must try is the Truffle Fried Rice which was my personal favorite. Everyone also really liked the Mushroom Udon Noodles, but it was too creamy for my taste. I loved the Chick'N Fried Mushrooms because the sauce was like fish sauce, and the Firecracker Wings was soo tasty as well (I forgot to take pics). Their happy hour is M-F from 3-6pm. Also keep in mind the portions are small since it is tapas style and meant to be shared!

Not dog friendly! Mixed messages. Was yelled at by Mary, the hostess, for asking if we could sit outside with our puppy. However, we went there three times before and sat outside with the pup. We enjoyed our past meals at Planta but was turned away this time. Mary basically kicked us out and told us to leave as she screamed at us because we had a puppy with us. Too bad because the food as it is quite yummy here.

Back again to our favorite eatery PLANTA Queen Nomad Broadway, and 27th St. If you're into vegan food that's the spot. The food is delicious. The Service is awesome. The atmosphere is great. They have seatings for two or more. The main guy and I have eaten there several times and by Far, it's our favorite vegan spot. If you're in the area and you're hungry, give them a try. You never know you might like eating Vegan, I'm just saying.

I went here with a coworker for lunch (and later ordered delivery from here) and can't say enough good things. We sat at the bar where our bartender/server was hilarious and helpful. The inside of this location is definitely a more cool/hip vibe, slightly upscale, but no need for more formal wear. We decided to share the Crispy Gyoza, Spicy Tuna Roll and the Torched and Pressed. I had wine and she had a cocktail. Everything was PHENOMENAL. Seriously couldn't even tell it wasn't really fish! Torched and Pressed was a favorite of mine. For delivery, I've tried Unagi Eggplant Nigiri and Ahi Watermelon Nigiri, as well as Cold Sesame Peanut Noodles. Perfection. Everything tastes so fresh and you can tell the chefs have spent a lot of time curating this unique menu. Really cool concept and my vegan friends have shared they love coming here as well. Can't wait to return!

SERVICE - located in Flatiron District near Broadway and w 27th st - highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time - plenty of indoor seating on first and lower floors - ambiance good for a nicer meal or a date night - service is amazing! Our server was very good about checking in on us and providing menu suggestions as needed MENU - Asian inspired small plates and entrees with inventive drinks menu - all vegan - slightly pricey ($25 per entree) - look for their weekly specials like maki Monday FOOD - dragon roll (8/10): tempura broccoli, spinach, and avocado roll with a spicy unagi sauce. This is one of the more unique rolls as it has broccoli and spinach which are not typically found in sushi. I liked how the sauce was actually spicy but balanced out by the avocado, I wish the broccoli tempura was crispier. - torched and pressed (10/10): rice topped with avocado and miso truffle glaze. This was our favorite of the dishes we got. The miso glaze is like butter coating the slightly charred rice. If you are not a huge truffle fan then maybe skip this but if you love umami, this roll is perfect for you. - firecracker roll (9/10): Japanese sweet potato and avocado roll topped with crispy potato sticks and gochujang mayo. This roll was also a favorite. The only reason I would not give it a 10/10 is because the edge pieces were not as evenly filled as the center pieces. Otherwise, it really highlights the sweetness of the potato and the slight kick of the gochujang. - crispy rice (5/10): fried rice cake topped with watermelon tuna and avocado. Although the flavors of this dish were unique, the rice was very sticky which made the dish harder to enjoy. - spicy tuna roll (7/10): watermelon tuna, avocado, and coconut roll with a side of spicy mayo. Between this and the crispy rice, the flavors were very similar but I think this one was better texturally. - baked crab roll (7/10): heart of palm, spicy mayo, and ponzu inside a soy wrapper. This roll was also unique especially the fish like texture of the heart of palm. It was a nice contrast to the rest of the more classic rice based rolls. WOULD I GO BACK? Absolutely! This restaurant is one of my favorites and I cannot recommend it enough.

Both the food & service were very good. The Bao slider wasn't what I expected but I loved it. The avocado tartar was very good as well. I would eat here again.

You just can't beat the sushi deal on Monday. The rolls are tasty, a good size, filling, and come out quickly. Was looking for a lighter dinner, so got the $9 rolls and got 5 for two people and even that felt like a little too much food. Great weeknight dinner.

I absolutely love Planta!! I've been here a few times now, and I think I like it even better now than the first or second time. Firstly when you walk in, the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. It is so cute on the inside! There is a nice bar area with seating, a main dining hall and also a downstairs area. All have a slightly different vibe. Upstairs is mostly earthy modern and downstairs is more modern with dragon decorations on the walls. The food here is very delicious- mostly Asian fusion cuisine. I've only been here with non-vegans, and they've all loved it. I think the food here is on the "heavy" side to me (fried, cream sauces etc) so either come hungry or try to mix it up to with lighter dishes. Favorites: truffle udon noodles, bang bang broccoli, corn dumplings. The udon is a star with generous truffle flavor and the portion is plenty to share amongst 2-3 people if you also order other apps and sides. The bang bang broccoli is fried with a yummy peanutty sauce. The spicy tuna sushi was good in terms of filling and creative watermelon ahi tuna, but I will say they put too much rice and the rice isn't like the type of sushi rice you get in a real Japanese restaurant. It's more like the kind of sushi you get in a supermarket kinda rice.. so I think they can work on that. It looks like it's rolled by a machine, which could very well be the case in a high volume restaurant like Planta! They also have a drinks and cocktails menu with pretty yummy cocktails with good presentation. Other things on the menu include a good selection of vegan sushi, dumplings / appetizers, salads, noodles, rice dishes. They also have vegan dessert such as a vegan egg waffle with ice cream! I tried that and it was ok- the waffle could be better. Service was good and they staff adequately to ensure a busy restaurant has fast service. Food came out quickly. Everything ran well and smoothly. It was very busy on a Thursday night- almost full. I would recommend making a reservation! Overall for me, Planta is a go to vegan spot, not just for vegans but also non-vegans. Great "intro" spot for someone who has never had vegan food. Fun and pretty place for almost any occasion- casual hangout with friends, date night, birthday, anniversary etc. Conveniently located in Nomad near many trains! Come check it out.

Ummmm the food was incredible. Service, not so much. We had reservations, though it wasn't very busy, and it took a long time to both order & get our check. Once we did order the food came out in a reasonable timeframe. We shared the spinach shiitake dumplings and those were very good! We also tried the Kimchi egg Fried rice - there was a tonnnn of rice but I wish there was more kimchi in there. The Beet "tuna" tartare was amazing! My Pumpkin Spiced Cider beverage was incredible! I think this is seasonal, so if you're here in fall you should definitely try that!!

Wow! Wow, wow, wow. This was recommended to me by a Californian vegan who doesn't play about good eats. They claim this to be their favorite all time restaurant and I see why! Everything from atmosphere, service and accommodation for a gluten allergy was amazing -- then each thing we tried seemed to be better than the last. Our first course, mushroom udon (made GF) was perhaps one of the best dishes we'd ever experienced. Then somehow each offering got better, and it wasn't just the sake! I can't recommend the cheesecake or spicy tuna hand roll enough. If the kitchen had not closed I'd be eating those two things all night until they kicked me out. Yum!

Absolute favorites were the bang banh broccoli, japanese sweet potato, and the 1000 layer potatoes. I'm not strictly vegetarian or vegan but I'd definitely go back and get more small plates and drinks to try. Service was smooth and vibe was pretty nice for a Sunday night. Worth going if you want to change someone's mind about what vegetarian and plant based food is! Really great tasting selections.

The restaurant is gorgeous, but unfortunately I didn't have a reservation and was seated at the bar, which I didn't mind much. I'd love to come back and experience being seated inside. Initially I was not so happy because it took a good 5 minutes for the bartender to acknowledge me and give me a menu, and I wasn't given water when I was finally provided the menu. There weren't many diners at the bar so it was strange. She was also a bit cold towards me, so I was uncomfortable. Later on a different bartender was far more attentive, kind and smiley so it turned my initial experience around. I ordered the bang bang broccoli. I honestly can't emphasize how truly delicious this is. I will come back just for this and make it my whole meal honestly. I don't even like broccoli, but this was phenomenal. Chef's kiss all around. The spicy tuna hand roll - I would pass on this, it was not much of an ode to the real thing, and to me it was more sweeter and bitter than I would have preferred. It looked gorgeous though. The Dan Dan Noodles, were just okay. The kamut in this dish was too much and taking over the dish in my opinion. The flavor was very coconut creamy. I've had incredible Dan Dan Noodles before, and this was different and not what I was expecting. The portion is huge and can be shared by 2-3 people. I will be back to try other menu items and give it another chance. I would rate my experience a 3, but the second bartender was so nice and the bang bang broccoli was out of this worldd, so bumped it up to a 4. Just happy to have a vegan/vegetarian restaurant to visit. Looking forward to going back :)

We had the most incredible experience at PLANTA! The food was absolutely exceptional, the service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was beautiful. We ordered the bang bang broccoli and the crispy rice for starters, and for our main, we ordered The Torched and Pressed, and Volcano roll. I highly recommend the Bang Bang broccoli (No photos because we ate it too fast) which is a delicious creamy savory and fried broccoli, and the torched and pressed which is a phenomenal avocado roll with truffle. Will definitely be going back anytime I visit NYC!

My vegan babies, this is the spot! My experience is from an 11am reservation (brunch) on a Sunday, which was also New Year's Eve. The restaurant itself is fairly large. There's a lot of room and it's very open if that makes sense, I never felt crowded. I really really like the small plate concept. This is a nicer restaurant so it's expensive compared to like... something else but for example a waffle (one) was maybe $17ish. Anyhow, the food was all great and I enjoyed tasting different dishes. The star of the show: bottomless mimosas. If you plan on drinking at least 2 mimosas, you might as well just get bottomless. I will say that service is very slow to refill your drinks and I FELT that they were kind of anxious for me to get out of there~ so whether or not that's true, I don't know but yeah bottomless mimosas!! Would definitely come back!

Innovative and tasty vegan sushi! With a party of four, we did the all you can eat option, which turned out to be a great choice based on how much we ate. We tried each of the rolls included in the all you can eat, and specifically enjoyed the torched and pressed, spicy tuna, and crispy rice rolls. The service was quick and kind. I would definitely be interested in trying some of the other options.

I have been to Planta Queen on several occasions, most recently celebrating the pregnancy of one of my close friends and mentors! It's one of the first restaurants I actually went to New York City, and I even went there for my 21st birthday because I enjoyed the food (and creative drinks) so much! As a vegetarian, I'm often disappointed by vegan and vegetarian restaurants, but this one really starts the standard. Each dish is packed with flavor, interesting texture, and there is so much variety on the menu. My go-tos are the crispy gyoza, bang bang broccoli, and my favorite roll, the torched and pressed!! I love the ambience created in Planta. It's perfect for a fancy occasion, celebration, or just getting a nice meal after work! The wait staff are always so helpful in making recommendations and pointing out special items on the menu! Overall, it's such a nice experience and a 10/10 meal for vegan/vegetarian Asian cuisine!

3.5/5 This restaurant is 100% vegan and plant based. The menu had a lot of mushroom based items which I personally don't like as a meat alternative. I liked the Singapore noodles and LOVED the dessert & drinks, I just wasn't blown away by a lot of the dishes. I'd recommend generally for vegan and vegetarian friends. The service was very nice, and we got all of our food very quickly. The restaurant is upscale and on the pricier side.

PLANTA Queen was a night of highs and lows. High: - the drinks: lots of options for 'free spirits', a fun spin on 'spirit-free'. They had one with watermelon, basil, cardamom, and yuzu, which is basically all of my favorite ingredients spun into one. An obvious choice, and it delivered. - the avocado tartare (can we just call this 'guac'?). I liked the beets-as-tuna angle, and the pine nuts and capers kept it from being too sweet. - the 'unagi'. How close can eggplant get to eel? Real close, apparently. I could have eaten an entire meal of just this dish. Lows: - lettuce rolls: they tasted kind of 'muddy', as one of my companions put it, and she was spot on. Not sure how that can be the case with ingredients like lemongrass and fish sauce, but it is. - upside down cake: too sweet, thin sauce that sort of dripped off it like water, and the pineapple parts tasted like the can they came from. The dan dan noodles were the only thing that sat in the middle, where they were tasty, but kind of blended into a mushy slurry and really needed either a crunch or something to keep the ingredients separate until the last minute.

Wasn't wowed but wasn't disappointed either. The decor is really nice and if you can get one of those slightly bigger booth type tables it can get pretty cozy We ordered plenty of things. I started with their matcha and unfortunately wasn't impressed. I should give a disclaimer though that I'm extremely picky with matcha Scallion pancake was 5/5. Loved the sauces it came with The bang bang broccoli you can't really mess with. Amazing dish as well Their best dish was prolly the 1000 layer potatoes. Elegant and indulgent :) Kimchi egg fried rice was nice and flavorful. Really hearty plate I wasn't really impressed with the lettuce wraps - it was a really 'flat' flavor for my taste. Nothing exciting about it. I also didn't enjoy the Dan Dan noodles - reason could be probably due to the fact that I do eat meat and this version of Dan Dan just couldn't match up. The coconut milk was too much of a reach for me, if that makes sense The Singapore noodles wasn't my favorite but it wasn't bad tbh. Again, the flavors may have been slightly monotonous for me. I definitely recommend this place for vegans. Amazing service and nice servers explaining everything :) Very cute decor as well
