    Firecracker Roll
    Samantha S.

    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!

    Awesome Vegan-Asian restaurant with very good mushroom-truffle cream sauce udon noodles. Excellent service (was able to get refills of iced tea after getting an Arnold Palmer), and interior atmosphere very cool. Highly recommended!

    FIRECRACKER ROLL

    I got takeout and dined in the past two days. Let me tell you something. This is the most important restaurant ever. I've never had anything bad. Compliments to the chef staff managers waiters bar tenders and everyone's mama. I took advantage of the happy. I love the fried mushrooms kind of reminded me of calamari. The next day. I ordered the volcano rolls for takeout. Unfortunately there was a mix up and I got the firecracker roll but still amazing. I really love this place. Inject the udon noodles in my veins.

    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.

    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.

    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

    CARROT OLIVE OIL CAKE

    My friend and I went to PLANTA Queen for happy hour after 8 PM. Our waiter was new and learning, so there was quite bit of a wait to get the food. They also started cleaning up outside while we were still eating, which was quite disruptive. The edamame dumplings tasted very sour, and the portion of the sushi from the happy hour menu was small. Our favorite part was the carrot olive oil cake. I would say to skip the happy hour- the food on the regular menu is more worth your while.

    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.

    Planta is soooo amazing. I came here for my birthday & was nervous to bring my non vegetation friends but they love it too!!! It truly is somewhere you can bring anyone and they will love it too. Everything we got was amazing but my all time favorites are the summer rolls, crispy gyoza, and the torched and pressed roll. Great drinks too.

    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. Everything was super tasty. My personal favourite is the Volcano Roll. Will definitely visit again. This place is quite popular and busy, definitely make a reservation in advance.

    dragon roll and red dragon roll

    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!

    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!

    POKE BOWL
    Karol R.

    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.

    It's an upscale restaurant and feels fancy for sure but they don't care what you wear.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at Miru…read more We were visiting Chicago for a short trip, and with so many excellent dining options, choosing where to eat wasn't easy. I almost decided to save Miru for our next visit, but I'm glad I made time for breakfast here on our departure day. Located inside the St. Regis Chicago, the restaurant offers beautiful views. The service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and professional. I ordered the Tokyo Breakfast. The salmon was perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with rice, a soft-poached egg, and salmon roe. The miso soup was slightly salty on its own, but it worked surprisingly well when enjoyed with the rice toward the end of the meal. Overall, a memorable breakfast experience. I'd love to return and try the lunch or dinner menu on my next trip to Chicago.

The sushi is phenomenal, as were our drinks... but the other entrees are disappointing. The karaage and duck yakisoba in particular in quality could be from any corner restaurant in Chicago. The service lends itself more casual, and I noticed they were consistently quite slow to clear our table. I don't think people come here for the food as much as the views. Overlooking Streeterville from this angle and vantage was truly jaw dropping and for this reason I still strongly recommend Miru.

My only critique is the pacing. Since the chef already had the fish sliced and prepped, I expected a smoother flow, but the meal took about an hour and a half for 14 pieces of sushi.

Both were great. Our bartenders were lovely and very friendly. Found out this is a Malort tasting room and we were able to sample some different Malorts (the cocoa one was good!). Then we were taken back to our table for dinner. Our server was super friendly as well. Started with the miso soup and crispy tuna bites which were probably my favorite dishes. The taki yoki fritters weren't bad either. We saw people getting omakase, so we ordered a yummy looking piece they were receiving. It was just okay (chutoro truffle). The nigiri was also okay. The tuna piece was the only I really loved. The fish quality wasn't as high as I was expecting. The sushi was decent. A little too much truffle in the spicy blue fin tuna and a little too vegetable forward in the hamachi serrano. All in all, the atmosphere and amazing service pushed this up to a 4 for me.

The restaurant houses both an omakase counter and an izakaya, but in completely separate spaces. The omakase side is an intimate, beautifully designed counter with around 10 seats. We were the only guests that evening, so the whole experience felt wonderfully private -- just us, Chef Shoji, and the fish. Chef Shoji opens the meal by presenting the actual fish you'll be eating, all flown in twice a week from Japan or Spain. It immediately signals what kind of meal you're in for. The 20 courses were well-paced and the quality was consistent throughout. Nigiri and sashimi were pristine, but the hot dishes were equally impressive, which surprised me. Both sides of the menu showed real craft and attention to detail. Service was fantastic -- warm, attentive, and never stuffy. At $210 per person, it's a special occasion meal, but one that genuinely delivers on the price. As someone who eats a lot of omakase back home in LA, I wasn't sure what to expect. I left genuinely impressed. Highly recommend if you're looking for a serious sushi experience in Chicago!!!
