Planta Queen was the perfect birthday dinner! I've previously been to Planta Queen in New York and Florida, and the Chicago location absolutely did not disappoint. We ordered the Firecracker Roll, Korean Chicken Sandwich, Caesar Salad, Curried Beans & Lentils, Spicy Crunch Ramen, and finished with the date cake for dessert. Every single dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and memorable. If you're celebrating with non-vegans, this is the place to go. The food is creative, delicious, and approachable for everyone. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is incredible. The lighting, wallpaper, and overall ambiance make the experience feel elevated and special from the moment you walk in. Huge shoutout to hostess Chanel and our server A for making our birthday celebration feel so special. We loved it so much that we came back the next night for more sushi! read more

My dining partner and I tried the Bang Bang Broccoli, the volcano roll, the avocado-beetroot tartare, the steamed bok choy, the chilli crab noodles, and the brownie with ice cream. The broccoli was fabulous- super crispy with a flavourful peanut sauce. It was definitely the highlight of our meal. The volcano roll was a mountain of salty mayonaisse heaped on top of relatively good sushi. The overall effect was not altogether pleasant. The avocado beetroot tartare was quite good but nothing exceptional. The steamed boy choy was done very well, with a lovely soy ginger sesame sauce that paired beautifully with it. The chilli crab noodles were near inedible: very little flavour and basically floating in oil. The brownie and ice cream were good. Service was decent, and the food came out super fast. We sat outside, and enjoyed people-watching more than the meal itself. In sum, we will not return. I am vegetarian, and was super excited about going to an all-vegan sushi place, but was left quite disappointed. My pescatarian dining partner was also similarly unimpressed. read more

My recent experience was not the same as when I came in two years ago. While the service was quick and the appetizers were good, around a 4 out of 5, the drinks were a solid 5 out of 5. The mains, however, were disappointing and I would rate them around 2 out of 5. We tried the bang broccoli and 1000 layer potatoes, but the potatoes were underwhelming.The drinks, Spicy Not a Rita and Cosmic Colada, were refreshing and pretty good. One thing that was disappointing was the mains. They were under seasoned with barely any salt, and we had to use soy sauce and ask for extra seasoning to adjust the salt in the dish. read more

We had reservation and were seated in a nice booth. It has a nice casual ambiance. The serving size in this vegan place is small and most of the food are meant to be shared. Some of the dishes were very good while some are just okay. You'd may be think there's meat but don't be fooled. All dishes here are vegan. A favorite was the kimchi bao. Very flavorful with different textures from the fried mushrooms and other fillings were very good. I also liked the firecracker roll which had different textures and flavors. The edamame dumplings and spicy tuna roll were also fine. The summer rolls are like Vietnamese spring rolls except that it's tofu instead of shrimp. The Singapore noodles are not bad but they could be more flavorful. For desserts, we were disappointed that they did not have mango sticky rice even if it's just 6 pm. The matcha cheesecake had berry compote and whipped cream on top. It was good. The sticky toffee pudding had coconut caramel and vanilla ice cream which went well together. Our server Alondra was very personable. read more

Tl;dr great happy hour and daily specials! Food is generally quite flavorful, and I don't think you can go wrong with most of the sushi rolls. Ambiance is more upscale, and I'd recommend coming early or at off hours, or having a reservation. ===== Been here quite a few times, mostly for happy hour. If you can make it, Maki Monday during happy hour is definitely the best deal so you can get lots of decently priced maki rolls in addition to their happy hour specials! I always order the spicy tuna rolls, chicken fried mushrooms, and whatever dessert tempts me. The truffle udon was also quite good, though the singaporean noodles and the ramen (that I think has been removed from the menu) were disappointing. All in all one of the better vegan sushi spots I've been to! Not quite as good as Shizen in SF, which is my gold standard, but not too far off. Ambiance is more upscale and they have a good variety of seating options for both large and small groups. They get pretty busy but overall service across my trips has been responsive and friendly. read more

This is a review of their chosen delivery service, DoorDash, and their customer service. I really don't understand why anyone does business with DoorDash at this point. They are the worst of the worst, really scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as delivery services go. Once again, DoorDash abruptly canceled my order without a word about a refund. That company is trash. And this will be the last time I patronize PLANTA, either for delivery or in person food. I'm sorry, but if you take my money and give me nothing, you don't get another chance. Beware before ordering delivery from here. Their delivery partner is a total scam artist. UPDATE: DoorDash refused to refund my money, saying I needed to contact PLANTA, and PLANTA's worthless automated system made it impossible to reach a human, repeatedly refusing to give me a refund or connect me to a person. Nice little scam they've got going. Do NOT order from here. read more

The ambiance and service was good. The kids menu was nice and had variety. My daughter loved the avocado sushi rolls and ended up with two orders of it. We got the bang bang broccoli, 1000 layer crispy potatoes, Raman crunch noodles and a couple other items. I felt some dishes were really good and some was not as flavorful or something was off. It was good overall and worth trying for one or two times. It was nice knowing everything on the menu was 100% vegetarian as that made it comfortable knowing the broths and ingredients were plant based. We need more places like this read more

I loved every second of my time at PLANTA. I'm vegetarian so I was intrigued but I am absolutely mind blown by how great this food is. Everything tasted so fresh and perfectly done. I got great energy from my meal and really appreciated the entire experience. I'm from California so it's at the top of my list to visit the Los Angeles location. The world needs more of this. read more

This place is a heaven for vegans and sushi lovers. The ambiance was so good and pretty. The food menu was so well crafted that even a meat eater could easily enjoy the food here without missing the actual meat. The service was super amazing, they were quick and so good to us.

Wow what a meal! Everything from the tater tots to the broccoli to the sushi were so creatively presented and tasted phenomenal. I do have to specifically mention their matcha cheesecake dessert. I have no idea how one goes about making a vegan cheesecake, but I have to say that this one tasted better than any cheesecake I've ever had (both vegan and non vegan). I would come back to dine again just for another cheesecake slice. The service here was also fast and very friendly. Our waitress was able to make personalized suggestions to us on what to order based on our dietary preferences read more

it was okay. went for work, all vegan!! most items were not bad but i wouldn't go again if i couldn't expense it. not enough protein i liked the texture of most dishes but a lot of them were kind of bland tbh. we ordered a bunch of stuff family style, some i didnt take pics of but here's what i remember: gyoza 6.5/10: served super interesting shape, almost like a pancake with stuffed pockets of veggies. was ok crispy potatoes 5/10: mid! i liked the texture, it was crispy on the outside and i liked the potato layers. but tasted okay. truffle udon 8/10: prob my fav thing on the menu but i love truffle! super fragrant summer rolls 6/10: fresh spring rolls. nothing special bang bang broccoli 7.5/10: liked the texture! crispy, broccoli inside was kinda mushy. but tasted okay, not super flavorful. not too greasy. again, kinda bland... spicy tuna roll 7.5/10: good but no protein LMAO. feels illegal to eat dragon roll 6/10: mid mid mid... mushy, i only remember avocado and cabbage. pepper steak lettuce wraps 8/10: this was one of my favs along w the udon. one of the only things w flavor kimchi brisket fried rice 2/10: no little to no taste. little to no kimchi. don't get. singaporean noodles 8/10: i really liked these. chicken was good!! noodles were good too. my coworkers also liked the crispy rice but i didnt try service and ambience were great! read more

I came back to try the truffle udon and it was LIFE CHANGING. The sauce is sooo creamy and the flavor is insane. I would have appreciated even more truffle but I truly cannot complain it was already heavenly. Since I came twice in one month I also received a surprise reward in the app for a free maki roll, so I will inevitably be back again soon. Update: Came back and got the torched and pressed roll and the 1000 layer crispy potatoes. The torched and pressed was INCREDIBLE. Definitely a must if you like truffle, the truffle flavor was so intense and the miso glaze was very unique as well. My favorite out of the sushi options for sure. Crispy potatoes were also really really good, not sure what the caviar was made out of but I've never had anything like it before. My server Jasmine was really wonderful and definitely made my visit. There were some technical difficulties applying my free roll reward so she ended up just comping my roll for free and let me keep the reward to use another time. Hostess was really lovely as well. I came here 3 times in 4 days... should tell you all you need to know! read more

Welp, planta queen has done it again. Every time I try something new I think, how are they going to make the vegan version of this, good? But I never lack trust because I know everything on this menu is superb. I got the cosmic colada, made by amazing bartender Johnny. With coconut water, pineapple, and lemon, this tropical drink is fruity and sweet and I feel like I'm on a damn island. For my tastes it a little sweet but hey that's never a problem in my book. For to eat, I got the red dragon roll, made by chef Kelsey (the goat). Carrot salmon in a roll topped with crunchy pickled watermelon and masago. The perfect blend of crunchy and sweet, topped with a creamy (but remember folks, vegan!!) spicy mayo. And of course, I had again the pleasure of being seated in server Sarah's section. She is always such a joy, so helpful with information about the food and recommendations for plates, and of course, keeping my water filled. She knocked it out of the park! read more

PLANTA Queen Chicago is such a standout in the city's dining scene. Everything from the space to the service feels intentional and well thought out. I had the edamame dumplings and the poke bowl, and both were so fresh and beautifully presented. The dumplings were smooth and flavorful, and the poke bowl had a great balance of textures and ingredients. I asked for the sauces on the side, and it still came together perfectly. You can tell the kitchen really knows how to build flavor. My husband had the Korean Chick'n Sandwich with kimchi, gochujang mayo, unagi, slaw, and cilantro, and he really enjoyed it. The flavors came together so well, and he said the tots that came with it were some of the best he has ever had, super crisp and well seasoned. The miso soup he ordered was warm and comforting, a perfect start before the meal. I also took the summer rolls to go, and they were incredibly fresh with such a nice flavor combination. They held up perfectly and still tasted bright and balanced later. They have WiFi (network: pqchicagoguest) and it is a nice calm spot to start your day, especially in the early hours on a weekday. I did not try it, but they also have oat milk vegan matchas, which I will definitely come back for next time. The restaurant itself is beautiful, modern but cozy, with an energy that makes you want to slow down and enjoy your meal. The staff was welcoming, kind, and attentive without being overbearing. It is clear that everyone here cares about creating a thoughtful plant based experience that feels elevated but still approachable. If you are in Chicago and want something vibrant, fresh, and made with care, PLANTA Queen is one of those spots that deserves to thrive. I highly recommend supporting them. They are doing something special. read more

I absolutely love the twist on Asian vegan food at Planta Queen. The atmosphere is astonishing and they have gone above and beyond on every detail. The drinks are wonderful and the presentation is beautiful. I've been twice now and it was a hit with both friends and family. The sushi is heavenly, especially on unlimited sushi day. During my first visit I tried a range of entrees and every dish delivered a burst of flavor that touched every taste bud. Planta Queen perfectly combines creativity, quality, and style. I can't wait to go back. read more

As someone who has never really eaten vegan food, this was such a great brunch! We went to celebrate my cousin-in-law who just turned 21, and is also vegan. And the food and drinks were amazing! Decent prices, not too bad, great drinks, awesome food. I had the brunch breakfast loaded burrito and it was great! Even their version of eggs tasted great! Our server was awesome. She checked in on us occasionally but not too much. But she also filled our waters whenever needed without us asking so it was great. Lastly, the ambiance of the location was really cool! Great design and honestly it gives a vibe outside of Chicago. It was awesome! 5/5! We'll be back! read more

We had an excellent dinner. We arrived during Happy Hour and ordered 2 drinks and 4 things to share: Lychee tini, Espresso martini, Bang Bang Broccoli, Wontons, Korean Chicken Bao, and Spicy Tuna roll. The wontons were more like a spinach cheese dip with wonton chips. Everything tasted good but my 2 favorites were the broccoli and the sushi. The broccoli was the best that I've ever had. Service was prompt and friendly. The noise level started out ok but as it became more crowded it was hard to hear. read more

+ handrolls and nigiri - fried mushroom and fried cauliflower + lychee martini and espresso martini - only one type of beer option Planta is a favorite go-to in the city when I want to enjoy a nice sit-down dinner with an elegant ambiance and enjoyable music playlist. It's an absolute treat to have so many plant-based options to choose from and feels indulgent and exciting anytime I can convince others to go along with me. We had excellent service from the hostess stand and especially from our server (I forget her name, she's from Moldova though?). She was attentive, energetic, helpful, friendly, and checked in on us just the right amount. It's not everyday anymore that you walk out impressed with service! The handrolls and nigiris are the absolute best part of the meal here - we got one of each and none disappointed, though the eggplant was a cut above (vegan food pun intended!). The deep-fried appetizers can be skipped next time - the cauliflower and broccoli were clearly pre-fried and arrived cold and soggy. The "calamari" mushroom had very little mushroom and mostly just fried flour. Instead, I highly recommend the decadent 1,000 layer potatoes and the Japanese sweet potatoes as highlights for the shared plates. We got Singapore noodles and fried rice for our entrees but I would rather have had more of the handrolls. They simply weren't as stand-out as the other items mentioned above, but you can think of it as comfort food I guess. I quite enjoyed my lychee martini too. read more

Wow... the house burger is stellar. It FAR exceeded the best veggie patty I've ever had. Extremely impressed! House secret sauce was to-die for. The side of salad that comes with the house burger, is entree sized? Flavorful and the right amount of seasoning. Volcano roll is good. Enjoyed the "crab" and sweet potato crunches being mounded atop a small bed of lettuce and in the middle and op top of the roll. Great sever team! read more

This place is unique because it's a vegan take on sushi and the setting is really nice, but the service was not great and the food itself was pretty subpar.

Planta Queen Chicago absolutely slays. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is fun, welcoming, and effortlessly cool, but the food and drinks are the real royalty here. The smoked miso tater tots are nothing short of sublime. Crispy, savory, smoky, and completely addictive, I am still thinking about them. The happy hour is incredibly generous, both in portions and prices, making it dangerously easy to order just one more round. Do not miss the chicken fries mushrooms. They are rich, satisfying, and packed with flavor. The dumplings are perfection: tender, well balanced, and clearly crafted with care. The creative drinks deserve their own applause. They are thoughtful, unique, and expertly made, with flavors that actually stand out instead of trying too hard. Planta Queen manages to be playful and polished at the same time. Whether you are there for happy hour, a full meal, or cocktails with friends, it delivers on every level. Can't wait to come back. read more

We went to Planta Queen for lunch today for my husband's birthday. It's a great vegan restaurant. The space is pretty, the food is good. This is a nice, upscale place. It's a great date night/ small group meal. This is a leisurely place, things move a little slow. Dishes came out at different times, so ordering family style/ tapas style seems best (plus then everyone can try more things). The cocktails sounded great. Bang Bang Broccoli- very good. Nice crispy texture, and good sauce Singapore noodles- great. Delicious well seasoned dish. Good size. General D's cauliflower- great. Nice crispy texture, nice mix of ingredients, great flavor. Chocolate brownie- very good. The brownie was good, the chocolate fudge was great. We ate on the outdoor patio, which was nice. read more

Planta.... What can I say abt this place but I have made it a "must" on my agenda when I travel to Chicago!!! The dishes I thoroughly enjoy as a foodie; Udon & 'shrooms. Planta. Chicago. Planta Chicago delivers one of the most balanced Udon dishes I have had on the planet!!! And I do not say that lightly as I have been around the globe multiple times & hands down... the trip from ATL to the Chi... is so worth it for this=*} The standout quality is the restraint. The kitchen does not drown the noodles in sauce, which allows the aromatics to come forward. U can clearly taste the garlic, green onions, & herbs w/o interference. It's ideal for anyone who enjoys Udon but doesn't always want the heaviness of Udon soup. When the craving is for clean, flavorful noodles w/ defined seasoning, this is THE dish!!! Their mushroom preparation deserves specific recognition. The texture is consistently firm w/ just the right level of sear, & the flavor profile leans into natural umami w/o being overly salty. The variety they use picks up heat & seasoning exceptionally well, & it pairs seamlessly w/ the rest of their menu. For n/e1 who appreciates mushrooms as a core component rather than a garnish, Planta delivers a deeply satisfying option. Overall, Planta Chicago excels at showcasing flavor through balance, fresh herbs, and technique. The Udon & mushroom dishes reflect that perfectly. There was a Planta in ATL ... unfortunately, that location is no longer=*{ Would've posted the PiX but every time I come... it's devoured whether it's take-out or dining in. Sry guys... U just gta experience it for Urself=*} #Planta #MyFaveUdon read more

I love vegan sushi! I'm not vegan but sometimes I prefer it to regular sushi-it doesn't feel as heavy and it's just fun to try. I absolutely loved the hand rolls and wish I just got several of each one. The red dragon roll was a bit too picky for me (it had pickled watermelon and cabbage) in and I found it overwhelming. I probably would not get that one next time. The potato appetizer was also nothing special unfortunately. Just tasted like tater tots. But the hand rolls were amazing! read more

This place has been on my food wishlist for months! I don't eat fish so I was incredibly excited to visit when my vegan friend came to visit. We got the Dragon maki roll and the Firecracker maki roll and they were both DELICIOUS! It was so incredibly fun to have vegetarian sushi that is more than just an avocado roll. The restaurant itself was gorgeous. We were sat by the open window which let the fall air come in and added to the ambience. The service was great and always refilled our waters. My friend had a few questions about the menu and our waiter was able to answer them all. Really excited to come back and try their happy hour menu read more

Went for lunch and as a longtime vegan it was so refreshing to be able to order anything from the menu without having to ask if the cheese can be taken off! Or if the broth is chicken broth! For appetizers we ordered the Bang Bang Broccoli and 1000 layer crispy potato which was topped with sour cream vegan caviar! Amazing. My Entree was the "beef" & broccoli with a side of ramen noodles. Couldn't finish it so another meal tomorrow. My friend enjoyed the dragon roll per the server's suggestion. And we just HAD to have dessert so chose the lemon matcha cookie sandwiches which were filled with vanilla ice cream. So good. Large portion of 3! I ate the ice cream and took 2 cookies home. No way was I going to finish them all. Great atmosphere and the hostess & waitress were as nice as could be. Will definitely be back! If you're in Chicago, you must check it out! read more

I've been to this place in the DMV area, so it was nice to try it again in Chicago. First, the set-up and the atmosphere was really nice and fit the restaurant's aesthetics. Second, I really enjoyed my food, which was very flavorful and spicy. My colleagues also enjoyed their food as many of them are not vegan as well. However, the service was interesting. The waiter was really sweet and friendly, but one of the hostess came to our table and asked if any of my colleagues gave a 1 star as review, and the approach was pretty abrasive. That's why I took the one star off, but other than that it was good. read more

A vegan's delight! Try their monthly specials and the sushi. With another location in NYC, this classy restaurant serves all vegan food with good flavor and good portions. They also have a beautiful interior. While their sushi interior is lacking, they pile on top large portions and well-cooked sushi rice. I also felt that their Singapore Noodles were missing a protein or toppings inside as it was just a large pile of noodles and seasoning. The staff are very courteous and respectful, even going so far as to mark up the menu for specific allergies (which already has icons for allergies). read more

Amazing food! We loved every dish we ordered. Menu is all vegan and extensive. They also have a Happy hour menu with some great drinks.

The food is incredibly good. An all Asian inspired vegan restaurant. They have all different Asian dishes and have some creative ideas as well as vegan recreations of classic Asian dishes. I love their beef with broccoli and curry dishes. They have had some monthly specials or special menus or pick up orders for holidays but not always. Either way can't go wrong. They have late hours and are easy to order online for take out. Their portions are large and filling. Their drinks are very creative, beautifully presented and delicious. They also offer some incredibly satisfying alcohol free beverages. I usually get a mix of both. Just whatever is new or sounds good. The ambiance is upscale and fancy but casual dress. The service is very friendly and personable and I've had the pleasure of getting to know the bartenders. It's a little frustrating trying to park here so I'd recommend taking public transport but there are lots of good options. There's also some parking garages nearby. They are in a busy hub and easy to get to. I tend to stay inside but they have some nice elegant outdoor seating whe.n in season as well. Overall a great vegan option for upscale Asian style foods, cocktails, great hours and great atmosphere. One of my go to's! read more

I came in for a quick cocktail and bite while shopping around Chicago because I had it book marked, and it looked aesthetically appealing from the outside. Once inside, I peered at the menu and was beyond fascinated with the vegan concept rooted in Pan-Asian flavors. I do not recall what drink I decided upon, however I do remember it was quick to be seated solo at the bar. The service was fine except for one mishap on my part- and we will soon get to that. Whatever I did order, it was pleasantly fruity and tasted like a refreshing juice. They also have a standout list of N/A drinks on the menu, I just know I didn't order one of those. The eggplant nigiri I noshed on was standout, I've been thinking about it ever since. The savory umami flavor from the "eel sauce" with the firm slightly slimy texture of the eggplant did mimic the flavors and textures of non-plant based sushi. I would order this again and again. But, what would I pass on? Accidentally ordering an 11 dollar bottle of still water and having to carry it with me to my dinner reservations. just because, I was not leaving something I didn't mean to buy but inadvertently bought behind. Learn from my mistakes and stick with tap water, or just sip a cocktail, unless you're a baller like that and like to pay for your water (; read more
