PLANTA New York

We got a pick up order and were all blown away by the quality and flavors and textures that we experienced! The sushi, bao, fried mushrooms, bang bang broccoli, udon were just plain delicious! Then the cheesecake!! My goodness! Hopefully soon we will get a chance to sit down in the restaurant and enjoy the food along with the atmosphere but the at home experience was beyond our expectations!

✨ Holy moly!!! What did we just experience on our wedding anniversary?! ✨<br><br>I had heard so much about this place and had been dying to try it for years. I never got the chance when we were in DC, so it was at the very top of my list for this NYC trip—and wow, it exceeded every expectation.<br><br>As a vegan, this place is absolute heaven. 🌱💚<br><br>We ordered three entrées because we wanted to try as much as possible, fully expecting leftovers. Nope. Every single plate was wiped clean. We had the Chili Crunch Ramen, Dan Dan Noodles, and Pepper Steak Lettuce Wraps, and they were unbelievably delicious. The Crispy Gyoza lasted about a minute before disappearing. 😂<br><br>For drinks, my Kombucha Mojito and Pom & Get It were fantastic. My husband loved the Sunday Beer Light so much that he ordered a second one.<br><br>And then came dessert… 🍫🍰 The Chocolate Brownie and Matcha Cheesecake were the perfect ending to an incredible meal.<br><br>The food, drinks, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. If you’re looking for an elevated vegan dining experience in NYC, this place is a must-visit. It’s definitely on the higher-end side, so I’d recommend making a reservation in advance.<br><br>10/10. Already dreaming about my next visit. 🤤✨🌱

Everything about this place is 5 star!<br>What I just don’t understand is why the waitress whom surely knows the menu back to front would not point out that the food I picked from the menu was also served on the plant menu!?!<br>Guess it’s not their job?<br>Paid $40 for a meal that cost $28<br>Still absolutely stunning and delicious food.<br>I wish the bang bang broccoli would come with the topping separately for it was too much… but I ate every single bit of it.

The food, the vibe, the bartender and server 10/10! This was a pitstop I made after a long travel from Boston to go to a birthday party later that day, which I knew would not accommodate my dietary needs as a vegan so I wanted to find somewhere filling before attending. I checked on Google and planta came up, I was inclined to try and now I can’t wait to go back!! The food was delicious I over ordered and have no regrets. The bartender was so kind and so knowledgeable about all of the food items on the menu along with the server who didn’t shy away from telling me what was her favorite and what she didn’t prefer. I also needed to use the restroom to get dressed to go to the party which took me about 45 minutes but they were so kind and let me do so lol<br>And overall great culinary experience and overall vibe experience.

I have frequented Planta Queen in Chicago and have tried the DC location, and I didn't realize that the food would be even better at this location! Recommend the crispy rice to anyone, as it's by far one of my favorite apps anywhere! We shared a truffle fried rice with Chkn and the Udon noodles which were way creamier and rich than I remembered, and in a good way. We took dessert back to our hotel and really enjoyed the dining experience!

The food was great! I had been meaning to visit this NYC location after I went to the Atlanta restaurant in ‘24. I had the volcano roll and it was great both times. Great consistency! I also got the Dan Dan Noodles the 1000 layer potatoes… All really good!<br><br>We dined at an ‘odd” hour (430p) and it was extremely quiet. However when we left around 630 it had gotten much busier.<br><br>Danny was our waiter and extremely attentive and personable. I almost had to twist my friends arm in coming here as she was extremely skeptical at vegan food. However, he was able make some recommendations which she went with and we left with her telling him she’d visit again for sure!

During our visit to New York from India, we were specifically looking for a good vegetarian restaurant because we strictly prefer vegetarian food. While exploring the city, it was not very easy to find a place that offers completely plant-based options. Luckily, we discovered PLANTA, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences during our trip.<br><br>The restaurant has a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere, and the entire menu is fully plant-based, which was perfect for us. The food was incredibly delicious, creative, and well presented. Every dish we tried was flavorful and satisfying, and it was amazing to see how they prepare such wonderful dishes using only plant-based ingredients.<br><br>As visitors from India who follow a vegetarian lifestyle, finding such a high-quality vegan restaurant in New York was truly a great experience. The service was also very good and the overall dining experience was memorable.<br><br>Definitely one of the best plant-based restaurants we visited during our time in New York. Highly recommended for anyone who loves vegetarian or vegan food.

Great food and wonderful service once we were seated. The vegan dishes were packed with flavor—everything we tried was really delicious. Our server was amazing: friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel special. The only downside was that the check-in when we arrived felt a bit unfriendly, but thankfully the rest of the meal more than made up for it.

Great restaurant. Fully vegan. I got the firecracker roll, the 1000 layer potato and the ahi watermelon. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the potato. The roll was so good. It’s just insane cramped inside. Gotta be careful to not knock anyone’s table over when maneuvering

Every dish we tried was delicious! For sharing we had the Korean Baos, 1,000 layer Crispy Potatoes and Chick’n Fried Mushrooms. Each plate was delicious and good portion size to share between two. The truffle fried rice was delicious and good size for sharing as well. The Dragon Roll was delicious. Food was delicious. The restaurant has a cozy, serene atmosphere and it was peaceful. Server was very attentive and treated us well. Would recommend!

Excellent vegan restaurant with lots of delicious options. Loved the spicy tuna, and the dan dan noodles which had a lot of flavor! Had the udon noodles as well but did not like them as much as they were a bit heavier but still good! Usually they get pretty busy so reservation is recommended and might still be a bit of a wait with that too but staff are very helpful and try to get you seated as quick as they can. Great service overall!

Recently celebrated my 12 year veganniversary here at Planta Queen! It wasn’t my first time there but first time being seated upstairs. The restaurant is beautiful and I love that they don’t rush you out the door. We were able to savor our food and have such an enjoyable dinner. Our server was great! It’s hard to pick a favorite dish but probably my beef rice would be my pick. We had the watermelon mocktail which was tasty. The friend I took with me is not vegan but she couldn’t stop saying how great the food was. By the end of our meal she said it was in her top 5 restaurants of all time. The flavors and quality of ingredients are top notch. Definitely one of the best vegan restaurants in the city.

Had dinner with my wife on a busy weeknight.<br>Ordered one main and about 2 appetizers and 2 rolls.<br>The 1000 layer potato was good but nothing new<br>Crispy rice was amazing<br>Dan Dan noodles and the dragon roll were good<br>But the Torched and Pressed was one of the most unique things I've tried.. If you are going here try the TnP..<br>Also ask for a table on the main floor and not the basement, the basement is not bad but clearly not as awesome as the main floor

We arrived here on the time for our reservation , the receptionist kept asking us to stand near the bar area even when we saw so many tables empty. We checked on her twice and both the times she asked us to stand near the bar, and it felt like she doesn't like us and wants us to leave. When we asked her if there is anything wrong she then started saying that the table is not ready and thus wants us to stand there and kept saying sorry every time. It just felt very absurd to us; if that was the case, she could've politely mentioned the same. She didn't have to say anything else, we could've waited quietly near the bar or entrance area.<br><br>After seating our server who served us was really nice to talk to and spoke with us really well. We tried their bang bang broccoli and it was heavenly. We also ordered their 1000 layer potatoes but we felt something was missing and was probably a little too hyped. We also tried their Dan dan noodles with tofu, the tofu was sooooo tasty and soft but the noodles lacked that punch, after adding soy sauce it tasted good , but just wished the noodles came in all tasty already.<br><br>We were full but wanted to try their matcha cheesecake after reading all the reviews, and I am really happy we tried it coz I am amazed with how delicious any vegan dessert can taste. It came with cherry compote, this compote could have cut the sweetness but being tangy but it was also sweet. If they just make this compote a little less sweet then this dish with be perfect 10/10.<br><br>All in all nice place leaving just the receptionist experience. We will certainly come back here to try other dishes, hopefully our experience at the reception would be nice next time🤞

Enjoyed a delicious lunch. Fast service of flavor filled dishes. The layered crispy fried potatoes - goodness through and through. Poke bowl - another tasty combination with a variety of textures in one dish. Got bites of my husband’s orders - a cold Japanese salad and a hot, spicy cauliflower dish; both worth savoring.<br><br>Person delivering dishes seemed disengaged or maybe really busy. Dropped off dishes quickly then walked away without making eye contact. Maybe that’s a NYC thing; then five star service.
