Great vegan food

I have been looking forward to trying Planta for years but was a tiny bit disappointed, don’t get me wrong it was really good but I think Beyond sushi and omakaseed were better

Delicious

Have been before and remembered the spicy tuna roll fondly. This time, tried so many more things and everything was amazing. The noodles! Broccoli and beef! The dessert was phenomenal!!! Went with my sister who is recently celiac and they had a whole gluten free guide too, so amazing.

Not as good as I had hoped

The food overall was mediocre. Our group of 4 ordered 7 appetizers/snacks and 4 dinners, so we tasted a good portion of the menu. Many items were over-salted and tasted overwhelmingly of soy sauce (Firecracker maki and Drunkin chicken entree). Others were bland. Sauces were good. The best entree was a mushrooom noodle bowl.

There are much better vegan restaurants in NYC.

Pros: Sauces, Mushroom noodle entree

Cons: Too much soy sauce overwhelms the taste, Too salty , Overall underwhelming

Bring your carnivore friends

This is the restaurant where you can bring carnivores that are skeptical about vegan food.
I brought several already, and all of them were pleasantly surprised.
I used to go to the Planta in Williamsburg frequently before it closed. This location is similar, but the menu is not the same. For example, this one doesn't have pizza.

A must visit

I’ve been to the DC location so I wanted to try this one as well. Did not disappoint. Bang bang broccoli is everything. Went with a group of vegans and non vegans and everyone raved about the food. Also very accommodating with reservation changes and party size!

Amazing. So delicious.

I got the kamut and mushroom “steak” lettuce wraps. I loved every bite. So tasty. So many other options I want to try too. Ordering is hard! Always busy, always packed, friendly staff.

Definitely get their 1000 layer potatoes, it was the favorite for both my girlfriend and I. The bang bang broccoli was great too

Amazing Noods at PQ

Had the Dan Dan Noodles (w/ Tofu and Avocado) and it was an incredible combination. Rich sauce, super complex and satiating. Very flavorful with chewy kamut noodles. The General D's Cauli was spectacular as well (pic doesn't do it justice) but was nice to dip those cauli heads into the Dan Dan sauce and eat. Very nice ambience inside. Friendly and professional staff. Really fantastic. Would love to try more from PQ. Definitely visiting again next time in NYC

Vegan Asian Cuisine in NoMad

This restaurant is beautifully designed, and the atmosphere was buzzing on a Sunday lunchtime. I was given three menus, the main menu with specials, a brunch menu and a drinks menu, and all the options sounded delicious - it was hard to decide.

I ordered summer rolls to start which were refreshing and served with two perfect spicy sauces. My main course was ‘drunken chicken’ a saucy stir fry with delicious vegetables and mushrooms with really delicious plant-based chicken.

The service was exceptional, three different helpful servers looked after me during lunch.

I would love to work my way through this menu, and come back for Maki Mondays!

Great vegan place!

Great atmosphere and lots of yummy choices to choose from! We got sushi, udon noodles, edamame dumplings, and a chick’n cutlet. Everything tasted great and came out in good time. And it was my birthday dinner and they surprised me with a tiny vegan cake😄

Excellent !

We had different starters to share. Portions are good size, ingredients are fresh and combination of them is creative. Really good dinner ! We recommend the crispy rice, firecracker sushi roll and crispy gyoza. Desserts are good but you may want to share. Service is fast and efficient. They also have a few mocktails. We will definitely come back for the sushi and to test the noodles

Creo que es el mejor vegano en el que he comido, comparable quizás a wild food en Granada o a los menús especiales de los viernes de estación quimera en Málaga.

I absolutely loved this place! There were so many options for happy hour and I got to try lots of new things. My favorite were the fried oyster mushrooms and the bao.

Asian Vegan Food

Food was great but the service was extremely slow… especially with more employees there than customers. As long as you’re not in a rush and don’t mind waiting, the delicious food does make up for it a bit. But they definitely could work on taking your order or acknowledging you sooner.

It was good, but wouldn’t go back

Service was good, food could be improved

We had the fried rice with ‘truffles’ but there was barely any truffles

The rest of the food was ok, but we mentioned we couldn’t deal with spicy and they didn’t let us know that the Singaporean noodles and the lentils was actually quite spicy

I ordered two rolls (firecracker roll, and torched and pressed) from a delivery app, and they were delicious. Would love to go to the restaurant and try more😄

Best Vegan Brunch

We just sat at the bar for Valentine’s Day brunch at Planta Queen. The kimchi bao starter is maybe the best appetizer I’ve had in my life. I had the French toast main, and it was also excellent. Indulgent but not overly sweet. The bartender made incredible cocktails and mocktails, and took great care of us. Highly recommend!

Fabulous vegan pan-Asian food!!

2025-08-16: ORIGINAL POST
Love PLANTA Queen! Have tried a few different locations (including the one in Williamsburg that closed and the awesome one in Toronto) but this main location is still my favorite. Great ambience! Somewhat slow service but friendly staff.

Been here many times. Some of our go-to dishes are:
- Torched & Pressed maki roll [highly recommend]
- Firecracker roll
- Dragon roll
- Unagi Eggplant Nigiri [highly recommend!]
- Crispy Rice [highly recommend!]
- Bang Bang Broccoli [highly recommend!]
- Thai Lettuce wraps: surprisingly very good, healthy, and tasty

Other dishes we’ve tried that were solid dishes but weren’t our favorite:
- Singapore Noodles: very good but beware if you’re not a fan of cilantro
- Udon Noodles: quite rich in flavor but can feel heavy
- Truffle Fried Rice
- Beef & Broccoli: takes very fake meat-y
- Wafu Crunch Salad

Previously went for a larger family gathering for a weekday lunch. Restaurant staff were able to accommodate a young infant and provide a high chair.

2025-10-15: UPDATE
I went back to Planta Queen and was seated in the downstairs dining room for the first time. Cool ambience but had no AC and was quite humid, which meant I was lightly sweating throughout my meal.

I also tried more more dish:
- Poke bowl: Definitely the best poke bowl I’ve ever had (since those are rarely ever vegan-friendly) but certainly not my favorite Planta Queen dish

2026-01-30 UPDATE:
Came here as a walk-in for brunch on a frigid Saturday afternoon. Was eager to try their brunch menu but was, surprisingly, disappointed. The regular menu is MUCH better!
- French Toast: lukewarm temperature, overall sweetness but not memorable flavor
- Breakfast Bowl: too salty, inedibly spicy sauce
PLANTA Queen has always been 5 ⭐️ consistently except for today’s brunch! Now, reducing to 4 ⭐️.

Good ambiance, inconsistent food quality

We ordered summer rolls, kimchi baos, steamed edamame dumplings, chick’n fried mushrooms, dan dan noodles, matcha cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding. Some were tasty but dumplings and baos were mediocre. Dan Dan noodle was overcooked to me. I liked the ambiance and the happy hour menu, which allowed us to try many snack items.

Food quality wasn't consistent

Heard amazing things about Planta over the years and finally got to try it.

Absolutely loved all of the maki rolls, the red dragon was my favorite.

Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the dan dan noodles. They were incredibly bland and lacked seasoning, not sure if it was just an off day for them. There was faint heat from the szechuan peppercorns and the sauce itself just tasted like plain coconut milk.

Korean chick'n sandwich was alright, didn't get any Korean flavors besides a faint gochujang taste in the aioli for the fries.

Dessert was delicious. I would go back just for the matcha cheesecake (and red dragon roll). Loved the texture of the banana pudding cake and the caramel was great.

Our bill totaled over $200 and we left still feeling like we could eat (something to think of).

Service was slow, but again could have been an off night. They calculate their tip on the total price including tax which I disagree with.

Cons: Pricey, Expect tips based on tax total
