Intriguing vegan dishes

We stopped by Planta Queen early Saturday evening and got on the waitlist. An hour later, I received the text -- we had a table... but it was outdoors. Even though I wasn't dressed for the cool temps, we hurried back and took our spot. I forgot the cold and enjoyed having a front row seat to Chicago life on a summer night.

Our server Alondra was very helpful suggesting dishes for us to share, and just the right amount of attentiveness, checking in but not hovering.

The dishes we got -- a maki roll, noodles, and beef/broccoli -- were all good. My only complaint is that they all arrived at different times, and there was a long gap between the second and third items. If we hadn't been sharing, that would have been awkward.

Most notable: Herb your Enthusiasm. One of the most interesting drinks I've ever tried!

Amazing food!!

Excellent menu with so many great items to choose from. We tried about five different plates and they were all amazing.

Canola oil

At the price point, use of canola oil is inexcusable. Good tasting options, but not "healthy" choices.

Pros: Good tasting food, Good service , Nice decor

Cons: Use of seed oils is a major disappointment

Planta

Everything was very interesting flavor wise. Felt a few things could have had more spice. The matcha cheesecake is very delicious.

Unwelcome substitutions

The Al Pastor bowl had lovely flavors..

Both the spring roll bowl and the al pastor bowl came with a lot of very dry, un-massaged kale, which was neither mentioned on the menu nor shown in any of the picture of the dishes online (which shows romaine lettuce and cilantro, both missing). The spring roll salad particularly suffered from this over reliance on kale. I sort of suspect, given how many things were unavailable that day (2/3 of all things ordered), that they were making do with some unfortunate substitutions.

Waiter mostly MIA. Went wandering to get our own water and track down our check.

Always the best

Traveling and on my own. No reservation so I went in early (5pm) and got a table! Food was sooooo good and no worries about anything being non-vegan. This place is the best!

Singapore noodles

We went with three people and our opinions were mixed. While I enjoyed my Singapore noodles the others found their noodles a bit weird, they were tasteless and chewy. The portions were quite big so unfortunately we couldn't try any dessert.

Pros: Appealing interior, Spacious, Friendly staff

Work dinner gone great

Had a late dinner while at a conference. The 1000 layer potato dish was amazing!!! The lettuce cups just as delicious and the Cauliflower D’s was great and filling. Too full for dessert.

Pros: 1000 layer potatoes, Lettuce cups, Cauliflower D’s

Cons: A little slow on food coming out but it was late

Almost perfect

Great food, variety impressive. Special mentions for the miso tofu salmon tasty (even though it didn't taste like salmon, which was still ok), ahi watermelon hand roll, gyoza dumplings (though wish there was steam-only option), carrot cake and the Al Pastor bowl was yum. Sadly, service was slow and inattentive during mid afternoon which took away from the experience.

Pros: Great food, variety, Flavor, convenient location

Cons: Slow service , price

Nice spot

Pardon the lame title. Stopped here for lunch. Lots of seating options, tables, booths, bar. We had sushi hand rolls, udon noodles, General D’s cauliflower, banana pudding, and cookie w/ ice cream. The cookie and a glass of sparkling wine were comped for my birthday. All the food was good - nothing mind blowing, but good.

Pros: Corner spot with lots of windows , Excellent service, Nice decor and ambiance

Cons: Higher priced

Amazing experience as always.

You can’t go wrong with a PLANTA restaurant. When my husband and I were visiting Chicago, we were so happy to find one. The food is always delicious, the atmosphere is always chic, and the service is always excellent. The menu is a flavorful vegan paradise, and a sober person, I always appreciate the variety and complexity of the mock-tails at PLANTA.

Pros: 1. Always a great experience for vegan dining, 2. Excellent mock-tail list for sober people, 3. Chic atmosphere and great service

Vegan Gem in River North

This is the second visit I made to Planta Queen in Chicago’s river north neighborhood. Great location and within walking distance to many hotels in the area. The food is all vegan with many interesting items on the menu to try. I loved the bang bang broccoli and the dan dan noodles was spicy with an outstanding mix of vegan chickens and crispy vegetables. Service was great and attentive.

Pros: All vegan menu, Tasty and well thought out dishes, Convenient location

Cons: Menu prices in general

Gorgeous venue

This restaurant was stunning. I loved the menu options and I think it’s a great place to share things. The bang bang broccoli was unreal. I also really liked the flavor combinations in the sushi bowl. Especially the watermelon tuna.

Top Notch! Gotta try

The vibe is chill and venue is perfect. All you can eat sushi rolls on Monday after 5pm for $29 bucks. Slamming good. Volcano was my favorite.

Pros: Food, Venue, Price

Cons: Cold weather in Chicago :-), Loud Ambulance. Lol!, Otherwise it was perfect!

Best food I’ve had in Chicago

I moved to Chicago from the PNW so I had lots of food from Portland and Seattle. This is the first place I’ve been to in Chicago that occupies time in my mind. Incredibly delicious food! I’m not much of a sushi person either but this place has convinced me to try everything on their menu. It’s pricey but completely worth it. Go on a Monday for $9 Maki Rolls (Maki Monday) and try 3-4 of them (between 2 people) if you don’t want to spend a lot of money.

Wowowowow!

One of the best vegan places I've been to. I had already tried the location in Toronto and my expectations were very high. Well, they weren't disappointed! It might be a little expensive, but it's worth every penny. The truffle mushroom noodles are a must!

Pros: Food quality, taste, presentation, Service

Cons: Spritz (it wasn't bad, but not worth $15)

Amazing!

I loved every dish we had! Bang Bang Broccoli, Eggplant Nigiri, Chiken Katsu Ramen, Dan Dan noodles (tho a bit strong with the coconut milk flavor), and the banana pudding 🤤 #Veganuary

Excellent fully plant based dining!

Great ambiance that feels like a fancy restaurant but still has food that is fully plant based! Everything was delicious and the portion sizes were enough to fill us up!

Pros: Amazing appetizers, Fully vegan menu with gluten free options, Great take on Asian FUSIAN food
