    It's no laughing matter that we all need more plant friendly options to save our planet and our health, and Laughing Planet delivers that on many accounts. We ordered online for pickup which was super easy and convenient. The website allows you to fully customize your order too without needing to ask at the cashier, especially if there is a line. Our dinner consisted of the Sumac Salad ($11.50) w/o feta, and was a delicious blend of kale, spinach, crispy chickpeas, green applies, quinoa, raisins, and olives. The vinaigrette they used was very refreshing and I'd definitely order this again. We also had their Black bean Hummus ($5.50) which was a good, carby side, and their Tempeh Royale ($9.75) which was a solid burrito that can easily be shared with someone. The salad was my favorite but everything was good overall.

    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 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. If you're looking for a local spot for lunch in Midtown, check it 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 was in Reno, NV for a business trip and unfortunately the food that was served at the event I was attending was not vegetarian friendly... Due to this, I did a little research and happened to find Laughing Planet Cafe which was about a 15-minute walk from the event center. I am SO GLAD I found this place!! The food was incredible! I hesitated slightly when I ordered the Vegetable Quesadilla as it included carrots and cauliflower - something that I wouldn't think to put in a quesadilla... But the combination of vegetables plus the queso fresco and their house made green sauce was beyond perfect!! I ate the entire thing and could've probably eaten more. They were low on fruits for the smoothies, so I ended up going with the Mango Banana that's typically a kinds menu item because they ran out of peaches for the Mango Peach that I wanted to try. Nevertheless, it was equally delicious! Also, the service was fantastic! This place is counter-service and the guy behind the counter on this day was doing basically everything himself, but was friendly the entire time and handled it all with grace. Much appreciated!! Y'all be sure to stop by and support this local business!! I know I will if I ever end up in Reno, NV again.

    I was craving something healthy and fresh and this restaurant was recommended. I ordered the Highway to Kale salad with chicken added and wasn't disappointed. The salad consisted of kale, carrots, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, queso fresco and a lemon-parsley vinaigrette. It was exactly what I needed! Very light and filled with fresh ingredients. I do think the chicken could have looked more appetizing but it was fine. Cashier who took our order was very helpful. They have outside seating available as well as interior.

    This place was just what I needed. Healthy, quick, clean, not super expensive, lots of vegetarian and gluten free options and the smoothie was so good and refreshing. They had a lot of daily specials also This place is on the corner across from the university, two story historic building, lots of windows to look out. It looks like they also have live music nights. Chic interior. Parking is a bit of a struggle. But overall really glad we came here. I got the crunchero, mango peach lemon smoothie and chips and salsa. It was tasty!

    The comfort bowl
    Tori Y.

    What an awesome healthy dining option! We went mid afternoon so there was only one other couple there at the time. It is seat yourself with TONS of seating options. The ambiance is very eclectic, with fun and interesting decor. The food was DELICIOUS!! I personally had the Bollywood bowl - I cannot rave enough about the coconut curry sauce that came on it. Dining in was just fine, but the lack of a lively environment is why it didn't get 5 stars for me, but their food was all incredible and an also great takeout option for lunch.

    This place is perfect if you want healthy! Great atmosphere and the guy that helped us was very nice. I did ask for no cilantro and well I got HELLA cilantro on my bowl. Whatever I picked it off but it's that attention to detail. I would not sit out back because it's infested with small bugs, flying into your face and hair. Other than those two things it was a nice place! I'd never go to this location again because it's impossible to find parking as it's right across from the University. Great spot for students if you ask me. The prices were good too!

    mango smoothie & chicken bbq casadilla

    Drink we could not finish, in my opinion it was overwelmingly lemonady with an odd texture and though i can appreciate fruity chunks in a smoothie we found a waxy seedlike booger thing in it. quesadilla ingredients were very good but the breading was soaked/damp- overall unappealing. some of their burrito options are good tho- would recommend the tempeh royale.

    CRUNCHERO

    I had tried a few restaurants before finally feasting at Laughing Planet. I was in town visiting a friend, and can't thank them enough for pointing me to the best crunch wrap supreme something I could have ever met. Order the crunchero now and thank me later.

It's family owned by a father, brother, and sister, which adds to its welcoming and authentic feel. I also loved learning that the building has historical significance. Be sure to check out the plaque outside if you visit. The customer service was outstanding. Zach greeted us as soon as we walked in, seated us quickly, and took the time to explain the menu and answer our questions. His friendly personality and knowledge made us feel right at home. I had a tough time deciding between the Homegrown Burger and the Alaskan Salmon, but I went with the burger. It was cooked exactly how I requested, juicy, flavorful, and easily one of the better burgers I've had in Reno. I'd give it a 9.2/10. My wife ordered the macaroni and cheese. She thought the flavor was delicious, but the sauce was a little thinner than she prefers, so she gave it a 6/10. Even so, she still finished the entire plate, which says a lot about how good it tasted. For dessert, we shared the apple cobbler with vanilla ice cream, and it was the perfect way to end the meal. It wasn't overly sweet. The warm cobbler paired perfectly with the cold, creamy ice cream. To top it all off, Zuck even gave us a mini tour of the restaurant, which made the experience feel even more personal. Great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere make Homegrown Gastropub a place I'll definitely be returning to. If you're in Reno and looking for a locally owned restaurant with character and quality food, this place is absolutely worth a visit!

I don't get to the Midtown location very often, but when I do, I'm glad I came. Located in a little shopping center off Virginia Street it's centrally located in the heart of Reno. Outdoor/Indoor seating is available offering a nice shaded and/or air conditioned dining area. The food is always some of the best around with one of the cleanest set of offerings you could hope to find on a single menu...! Lots of organic and wholesome choices. I usually go for a lot less carby of a meal, but today I was feeling a Grilled Cheese made their way with several melted cheeses on sourdough with tomatoes and pesto aioli. So delicious!

When we arrived, we were seated immediately, which was a great start. The restaurant was busy, but no busier than many other places we've visited. After being seated, however, we waited... and waited... and waited for someone to even acknowledge us. Nothing. During that time, we watched our server attend to several other tables, clear dishes, grab items, and process payments. We also noticed two employees standing near the register. One of them looked over at our table multiple times, so it was obvious they knew we were there. Still, no one came over to greet us or let us know someone would be with us shortly. As we looked around, we realized we were the only Asian family in the restaurant. Whether intentional or not, it left us feeling overlooked, uncomfortable, and wondering if we were being treated differently. It was an awful feeling. Eventually, our server came to our table but never apologized for the long wait or acknowledged that we'd been sitting there unattended. By then, the experience had already left a bad impression. I was there with my husband and our three boys, and it was difficult trying to explain why we seemed to be the only table being ignored. Will we come back? NO I'm sure this restaurant has plenty of customers and won't miss one family, but every guest deserves to feel welcomed and valued. A simple greeting or apology would have gone a long way. As for the food, it was good. But good food alone doesn't make up for poor service or for making guests feel like they don't belong. Dining out is about the entire experience, and unfortunately, ours was overwhelmingly disappointing. I'm typically a very generous tipper because I appreciate good service. However, when a restaurant makes my family feel out of place and overlooked, it's hard to justify leaving anything. Respect and hospitality should be extended to every customer.
