The service was pretty slow despite not being busy, but I understand that they're closing in two weeks. I tried the Thai bowl, add green chilis. They also upsold me on their homemade habanero hot sauce, which was very good! One of the hot sauce bottles I grabbed off their free to use sauce shelf was over a month expired, but again, they're closing in a month. It was very good! I'll check out their other locations if I'm near one. read more

Laughing Planet - Thai Bowl - Vegetarian Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I have truly never had anything here I didn't love! Their burritos are fantastic, their bowls are fantastic, their quesadillas and salads, also fantastic! They are fast and friendly and always there when I need them. And they always make me feel welcome and comfortable. One of my favorites is their seasonal Pozole which is comforting and hearty. My husband and I like to even come here for a snack or afternoon pick me up. Also, all of their ice tea offerings are wins! read more

I cannot believe I've lived in Reno for nearly 10 years and never had Laughing Planet until last week?! I liked it so much I went two days in a row and got the same thing both times! This review is based solely on the Comfort Bowl and first impressions of service/ambiance. First off, the Comfort Bowl!! It's the food of my dreams, truly (I'm a huge sucker for rice and bean bowls). I am lactose intolerant, so the option for vegan cheese and sour cream was awesome. I had never had vegan sour cream, and it was great! I then made the bowl un-vegan by adding pulled pork for extra protein. What makes this dish stand out is the green NY sauce that comes with it. I believe it's a nutritional yeast sauce and incredibly addictive! I think I might have to head over for lunch now! The restaurant is clean and vibrant. Very aesthetically pleasing. The patio is also a lovely option. The staff is super helpful and cheerful, whether the restaurant is packed or not. It's always great to see folks in the service industry having a good time with each other at work. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious, healthy, and fast food. read more

I used to love Laughing Planet but the last several months they have gone downhill. I noticed the food portions have really gotten smaller, but the prices have gone up. The food is lacking seasoning too. Counter help could use some training and realize without the customers they would not have a job. It used to be a fun place to go, and my friends and I would go a couple times a week. I hope they can get it back to the fun, happy, place they used to be cause I miss it and would love to bring my friends in again for our weekly lunch. read more

10/10 highly recommend every single time! We love Laughing Planet so much and are never disappointed when we visit. The guacamole is bright and fresh as if it had been prepared table side. In the past I have also enjoyed many of their burritos and wraps that have been equally exceptional as the recent Korean BBQ Bowl. Pretty much just go there, close your eyes and point to something. You won't regret it. I love the clean and inviting open atmosphere. There's alot of space for everyone including large groups. The artwork seen throughout the space is beautiful, bright and creative. As for the service from the staff, they are all so nice amazing people. We have never had a bad experience and always leave more than satisfied. I cannot wait to come back and try the small Thai burrito. It was a hard toss up to choose that or the Korean bowl, but I am very happy either way. read more

My go-to for lunch or brunch when in Midtown and Greatfull gardens has too long of a wait. I love the laid-back vibe and casual bar seating almost as much as their decor. My most recent visit was with my cousin from out of town and her children and of course myself and my children; we had a party of 7. The kids were impressed with their chicken quesadillas and beans. My cousin and I ordered two chicken paleo bowls, and my kids ordered two orders of their salsa and queso with chips and bean and cheese burritos. Some time had lapsed since my last visit there, but my tasebuds were overwhelmed with all of the fresh flavors in our bowls. We ordered cookies for the kids to eat on the way back to my car. **Do pay attention to the signs. You might find yourself on one way road and pay to park parking. ** If you're looking for a local spot for lunch in Midtown, check them out. They offer a more vegan and paleo friendly menu, and they don't dig too deep into your pockets. Although it took a while for us to even order, I knew our food would be worth it. There were food delivery drivers waiting by the bar and a full line behind us. There was only one girl running and trying to aid everyone. We felt for her. She was doing her best! They gave us our drinks, chips, and queso for the long wait. We came in during the normal work week and caught their lunch rush. I recommend ordering ahead if you're pushed for time. If you have time, enjoy this cool restaurant or get some sun on the patio. I look forward to having lunch here in the warmer months and a brew. Save room for dessert, they serve that here or visit Batch. They're a skip and a hop away! read more

If you haven't been here yet...do yourself a favor and go! I had the Korean bbq beef bowl and it was memorable. So tasty! The staff are friendly and the whole restaurant is mindful of how to reuse. They are part of the green box program so you can even take your meal in a returnable container. My fiancé had the SW green chile burrito and there was nothing but a clean plate when he was done. It's fun art on the walls and bright color separate it from the rest. read more

Really really nice menu. Food is very fresh. We had a bit of a wait today, but the worker was kind enough to let us know that it would be 20 minutes or so. The bowls are flavored very well. I had the Thai and my partner had Korean. We got an oatmeal cookie to go for the road. It was so good. We nearly wish we had to, but it was a generous size. Definitely place to go if you like healthier options. Staff is friendly, and the place is clean. read more

Flies inside landing in my salad. I didn't even finish eating because I watched a fly leave my dish :(

Was visiting my sister in Reno who suggested we order delivery from Laughing Planet. We both prefer to eat healthy and clean so after looking over the menu, I was all about it. We started out on their website, where you can easily order online. I love this since I prefer to order online, rather than call in an order. I ordered the Bollywood bowl and a side of chips and salsa . The bowl was delicious. It was hardy, filling, full of flavor and healthy at the same time. The salsa is also good and spicy. However, my only complaint is the chips we got were mostly crushed into dime-sized chips. I don't know if it was that we got the bottom of the bag or if they got crushed in transit so that kinda sucked. I will say for the ones that weren't crushed they were a thicker corn tortilla chip so we may give it another try in the future. If your looking for healthier options but want to fill satiated then absolutely give them a try. You won't be disappointed. Next time I go I'll happily order something different from their menu again.. read more

Tried to give this place another chance, still disgusting horrible service, staff is rude and slow, and they are very unprofessional.

Having a tough protocol to follow and being restricted of so many items on the menu, laughing planet went beyond to help me customize a healthy bowl. Alegra was very helpful and patient while helping get what I needed. The place is nice, lots of seating options (indoor and outdoor). Make sure to try their beverages and giant cookies too. read more

Laughing Planet - Paleo bowl (customized) - Vegetarian Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I hate to do a negative review but my husband and I had dinner here last night. I had the Buffalo burrito- it was extremely spicy (I usually like Buffalo sauce) but this had nothing to help balance the heat... it was dripping juices out of it, super soggy and completely falling apart. I couldn't even get half way through it. My husband had the Tempe burrito and it was very salty. He also didn't finish it. Our daughter had the steamed veggies and rice which was fine... flavorless with no seasonings but edible. We spent over $50 on dinner and won't be going back. read more

I'm sad to have downgraded Laughing Planet and took a day to make sure I was not overreacting. Was looking forward to having lunch there yesterday (Saturday) and got there just a little bit after opening, 11:10 AM. I think I might have been the 3rd customer since opening that day. I was surprised at how dirty the restaurant was with food on the floors and food on the chairs. It was obvious that the restaurant had not been cleaned prior to opening. I watched a server walk past a napkin on the floor a few times and there was a poster on the floor that everyone was ignoring. It wasn't until another worker picked up the napkin. My tempeh burrito was good, no complaints, but my son's comfort bowl looked liked 3 spoonful of items were thrown in the bowl and did not look very comforting to me. Very small serving of black beans, rice, salsa, sour cream, avocado, and olives. Seems like the pride of ownership has faded a bit with this restaurant. Hopefully, owners and workers will get their mojo back soon because this place has so much to offer, healthy food wise and great vibe! read more

A friend recommended this restaurant and it turns out it was around the corner from a venue we were attending the next evening. OMG - this place is wonderful. The staff and the service were wonderful - professional and yet so friendly and helpful. The food is so good and very unique. We are flexitarians that lean the vegetarian/vegan. You usually find salads and soups on the menus (which there are) but a lot of very creative dishes that are healthy and delicious. The location we visited is near UNR so the ambiance is youngish and very colorful. Will definitely be going again. read more

Laughing planet is hit or miss. Sometimes it's great, and your chances of this are earlier in the day... but they can get busy with a lunch rush. Evenings, well, that's usually more the miss as the food tends to be not so warm, plating is much less appealing, and certain dishes might be missing some items... but, it's usually less busy later in the day. I am a fan of the quesadillas, the burritos and the bowls. They have a lot of vegan options and you can also go with some good protein dishes as well. Tip: Ask about their rewards program, which they do not tell you about... ever, and you can earn free food. read more

Laughing Planet - Calexico Bowl! - Vegetarian Near Me - Reno, Nevada

The menu here is everything I love. I ordered the sumac salad and it was delish- fresh veg and yummy dressing. It was supposed to come with roasted cauliflower but was missing from my order. B ordered the Bubba burrito which was supposed to come with chipotle BBQ sauce, but they were out. I understand that there are supply issues everywhere, but would have been nice for them to let us know. We placed the order for delivery on their website and got the email confirmation that our order was received and would be delivered in ~45 minutes. After waiting over an hour, I called and the person on the phone seemed confused about if they even offered delivery and how the delivery service worked. She said our order was ready and was just sitting there. For some reason they never bothered to call us to let us know that they were no longer offering delivery. We ended up driving over to pick it up. A day later, they kindly refunded the delivery charge. Good food but confusing service. Would try again, but plan on pick-up or order through a 3rd party app. read more

Great fresh lunch located in Midtown. This location is much larger than it looks on the outside. Love that it's tucked down a backstreet. All the throwback posters of Tour de Nez are rad. I love the bowls here. They have a variety of inclusions. Most recently I enjoyed the Bollywood Bowl. They really layer in the flavors of their food and the portion size is just right for their price. Service is always on point and they make it super easy to order online for pick up. Yum! read more

We Loved Laughing Planet Cafe! This place is so delicious! We ordered the "crunch wrap" (may not have words right). It was so bomb! Also a friend ordered the Mediterranean bowl with chicken and that was delicious. I ordered the Thai burrito and quesadilla. Both were just bursting with flavor and delicious. Omg you have to try the sparkling horchata ! It was absolutely divine!!! Everyone was really nice who was working and the prices were great! The Arnold Palmer lemonade wAs also really tasty! I will definitely be back here again as soon as I come back to town! Thank you laughing planet cafe! read more

I've dined here personally, but today was the first order I've placed for our leadership team/company. LP's online ordering/payment process is easy, but what REALLY made the whole experience memorable, was order pick-up. Admittedly, because it was my first experience ordering with them online, I didn't know what to expect. Was the order ready? Was it correct? Was it good? Were they going to point to the food and not acknowledge me and my questions? All I can say is that Carmen had me at hello. She greeted me warmly and even joked around (which I loved)! Our order was ready, accurately labeled as requested, and she efficiently helped me make a few last minute adjustments. I would return in a heartbeat just for her, but we'll definitely return as a company for the healthy, delicious food and awesome service! A huge thank you to Carmen and all who made our order happen. The Leadership Team had a fabulous lunch! read more

We were looking for a place with healthy food prior to heading to the airport, and Laughing Planet did not disappoint. Both my wife's Thai Bowl and my Harvest Bowl were really delicious. Both of us had some left to take home too. We sat outside in the front patio area and it was very pleasant. Bottom line: The menu has so many interesting things that we wish we could go back again soon...although we don't live in Reno so it might be a while for that to happen. read more

Laughing Planet is a concept I am fully behind. From organic and sustainable ingredients, to internationally inspired flavors, recyclable and compostable packaging, all served up in the right proportions always leaves me happy and satisfied when I eat here. I'm always drawn to the seasonal bowls. Typically they're the most interesting. Also, who doesn't love a limited time offer? This time it was a vindaloo bowl with braised greens, pickled onions, stewed lentils, slow cooked pork, raita, and a vindaloo sauce that was spicy and pungent in all the right ways. I was off pork for a bit and asked if they'd sub in their beef and they did with no issue. I loved every bite, but I must say my wife's harvest bowl had me a little jealous! Service was friendly and efficient. Due to COVID the dining room is closed but they boast two patios, and we sat outside. Worth noting that shade is at a premium. I felt like the food came out a little slow too. We were quoted 15 minutes for our order, so we took a stroll and when we returned it still wasn't ready for quite a while. All that aside, the meal was great and I will continue to return again and again! read more

I reeeeeally want to love this place. But I can't give more than a 2 star review. The spot: One of the main reasons I give this place 2 stars is because of their really bad gnat problem. My family and I sat outside in the back outdoor patio. We were all being attacked by so many of them, all over our drinks and food. It was so difficult to enjoy anything. We were literally fishing them out of our drinks. We moved to the front patio area, it was pretty much the same. The restaurant really needs to attack this infestation problem. It was unfortunate to watch so many other customers spending time swatting these annoying little bugs away from their dinner too. They have a bike rack in the front patio. Plenty of parking. They also have a pretty big indoor seating area too. The food: Due to the crazy gnat problem, we ended up ordering the rest of our food to go. The tacos are fairly good, but a little overpriced for what you get. We tried all flavors: pork, beef, and mushroom. I don't have a favorite, they were equally okay. They could be better. A lot more tortilla than filling. The pretty basic BBQ chicken quesadilla was okay, but I wouldn't order it again. We ordered a few bowls, but we spent more time trying to get rid of the bugs, I didn't get to take a photo. The drinks: They didn't have too many alcohol options available. Only 3 beer options, 1 cider, and wine. The wine is served in a 5 oz. glass for $6, definitely overpriced for a small serving. After 1 glass, they ended up running out. So for someone that doesn't drink beer, the basic apple cider was the only option available. We also tried the Green Dream Smoothie, it would have been better if there weren't so many chunks of ginger. We had to fish the pieces out. We ended up having to go to a different spot for drinks. Overall, not the greatest first experience. I might consider coming back, if they get their bug problem under control. read more

Food is good, portions are on the smaller side. So if you are looking for anything to bust your belly this is not it. If you are looking for vegan/vegetarian or chicken options, smaller potions and an eco conscious atmosphere this is it. There's outside seating. The staff and and customers are all very friendly. Our cashier/waitress was new so wasn't able to suggest or explain much. read more

I'll tell you. I 100% CRAVE one very specific thing from here when I am not in town. The Thai bowl. This is nestled in the backside of midtown. Parking can be a struggle. That's where ordering online ahead of time is going to be your friend. Heads up on that. I've had a good majority of the menu here. It's all darn good. Very health conscious menu. Vegetarian/Vegan place to go! Their service has always been very swift & pleasant to me and the people who have picked up my order for me as I am getting services nearby (Such as my tattoo spot thats located right next to it). Did I mention I am obsess with that Thai bowl? Ok we can carry on to the other goodies. *Favorites* -Thai Bowl (Peanut sauce with all the veggies & tofu. Fully on 3rd time telling you I'm addicted to this item) -Korean BBQ Bowl (Both the beef and tofu options are great) -Mango Peach Lemon Smoothie (Refreshing all star smoothie) -Grilled Veggie Quesadilla (The sauce it comes with is so darn good. Great healthy & veggie option for a classic comfort food) -Buffalo Cauliflower Wrap (Imagine a vegan version of a buffalo & cesar salad wrap, its incredible) They always have different Agua Frescas, Teas, & Kombuchas. Ask them what they have. Cool trying the new goodies they have from local sources. read more

Satisfaction: 9 Presentation: 7 Taste: 8.4 Man, been holding out on laughing planet. It just seemed too healthy for my liking. I was wrong. They cook their veggies which is a lot better than just raw veggies with a boatload of dressing. There's some flavor to your veggies here. It's like a blast in your mouth. I wouldn't come here for the presentation. Food is amazing though. I can eat one meal and get all the nutrients I need. Otherwise, I usually just eat Mac n cheese or fry rie. read more

Great food but the wait is so long is makes me hesitant to recommend it. Go if you're not in a rush.

My fav salad in town is right here...Highway to Kale. Always fresh greens and the best light dressing. Tim was a friend of my ex-husband in another lifetime. He is really dedicated to making the place just as special as he made Deux Gros Nez back in the day when cycling was the sport to be in! read more

Updating my review to say that 4 years later I still love laughing planet. However, my newest favorite of their dishes is their SW green chili burrito. I skip the rice and add sour cream to make the best black bean burrito in town. I've also tried their juices and they're so yummy! Parking does suck for this location though and you may have to park a good distance away, so plan according. read more

I have frequented Laughing Planet over the years and myself and friends have always enjoyed the food. I particularly love the smoothies and the mango habanero salsa! This time, I ordered three burritos to go and a few cookies. The burritos are always delicious, I usually order the grilled chicken burrito and add the mango habanero salsa inside. My friends ordered the Tempeh Royale (adding vegan cheese), and SW Green Chili burrito (adding beef), and they both said they were great. The cookies were also a hit and really big. I like that there are vegan cookies also. I love that things are customizable, and I appreciate the vegan substitutes and options! With that being said, with the multiple times of me eating here, my burrito has been made wrong a few times. Enough for me to remember and always double check it. I usually add the mango habanero salsa, and take the pico de gallo off. There have been times where there was pico on half the burrito, like the person remembered to take it off halfway. This time, there was no salsa on the burrito OR on the side which I would have been fine with. Since it wasn't on the side, I just assumed it was in the burrito. The burrito was still good regardless. The restaurant has great seating on the inside, out front, and there is a back patio. I really enjoy sitting outside when the weather is nice, or on the inside when the big front window is open. Parking is difficult at peak times, which is common for Midtown. read more

Last time I ordered food from Laughing Planet was during Covid and the restaurant was shut down, but ordering food through a walk up window. So this tells you I haven't been there for a long time. I'm eating healthy these days so during my visit to Midtown it seemed like a good choice. I stepped in around 3 p.m. and the dining room was vacant which made ordering quick and simple. I thought the mushroom taco sounded good ,ordering one to try it out .. A combination of button and oyster mushrooms, guacamole and sliced radish for $4.50 , I needed more so the Comfort bowl was my main Entree choice Priced at $ 12.75. So I sat down and I was served within 10 minutes or so. The taco didn't have much filling, but it tasted good and was gone in three bites. I would call it really skimpy for the price.. So now comes the bowl, I regret not taking a photo of this bowl.. The ingredients were Brown Rice, Black beans, avocado, sour cream, Black olives and cilantro. It was served with a sauce dubbed NYC sauce which was green and mildly seasoned. Well... the black beans and olives being predominant here. Maybe a 3oz. tin of olives dumped in there, overkill ! The flavorless Black beans, again skimpy on avocado and cilantro and a basically flavorless bowl. I walked over to where the condiments were and grabbed an empty bottle of hot sauce, had the girl find me a new bottle and I sprinkled the sauce over it to Amp up this Bean/ Rice bowl of bland. I was disappointed in the meal all the way around sorry to say.. I'm thinking that maybe I just ordered the wrong things.. Possibly someone needs to step in and work on flavoring the food. Frankly, I can make better at home. Sorry, Laughing Planet! Ah, ha maybe I should have added chicken to it.. The photo below shows it with Chicken. I should also mention something positive in that the interior is fun and colorful. read more

Absolute worst experience ever. I used to come here RELIGIOUSLY from 2016/17-2019. I moved away and am back in town for a few days and wanted to bring my husband to one of my favorite places. After receiving sub par customer service at check out, I waited from 12:15- 12:54 for ONE smoothie. Keep in mind they weren't busy and there were probably 4 guests at this time. I will never come back and will never recommend this place to anyone visiting Reno again. read more

So, I love Taco Bell.... but now that I no longer have the metabolism of a teenager, Taco Bell doesn't love me. Enter, the Laughing Planet CRUNCHERO. It's basically a healthy(ish) cruchwrap that you can feel good about. There's so much flavor packed in with the avocado crema, and it's generously sized and very filling. I was worried I'd miss the meat that a typical cruchwrap has, but I'm happy to say I didn't even notice it wasn't there. The Berry Berry Good smoothie was also delightful and a nice change from "normal" beverages offered. Parking can be a bit tough but have some patience or order ahead and enjoy! read more
