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 was a vegan for close to 6 years and this place was my go-to. The creative cuisine and forward thinking take on vegan food is like none other. They have a variety of flavors whereas I feel like most vegan places I go everything on the menu really tastes the same, that's not the case at planta. I would typically go on maki Monday for the deal special and you couldn't beat it. read more

I have swung by Planta a multitude of times and I am finally coming around to writing a review. If a restaurant can make vegan food scrumptious, this is the place to go, however, I have had mixed experiences. Their crispy gyoza is my staple. Next on the list of the truffle fried rice, they have never gone wrong with this one. I occasionally switch between the Singapore noodles and the udon noodles, the udon noodles almost always win. Their maki rolls have been a hit or a miss for me. I have had rolls that are sometimes too salty or sometimes too bland. The interior is chic and upscale and the service is decent, but could be quicker. Overall, a great vegan restaurant and I love that it's fully Asian! read more

Hands down one of the best Plant Based meals we've had. It's always tricky to find such well prepared and tasty food when out and about!! read more

3.5/5 Planta is a little upscale and has prices to match. It's a pretty big place with sleek decor. We came in on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and got a table right away. We had a very friendly and helpful server who made some recommendations about popular appetizers and how many plates to order. It's family-style and smaller plates unless you get the entrees. For 3 people we ordered a bao slider, 2 crispy mushroom hand rolls, an ahi watermelon nigiri, an unagi eggplant, a firecracker roll, a poke bowl, and 2 bubble waffle sundaes for dessert. The hand rolls, nigiri, and unagi were all tasty but felt a bit overpriced. The firecracker roll, bao, and poke bowl were delicious and substantial. But most dishes were a little too salty for my taste. The bubble waffle sundae, however, was fantastic. My only complaint was that the spoon was too big for the sundae dish, so you couldn't reach the bottom to get the crispy rice and strawberries out. But the taro ice cream, black sesame caramel, and fruit were all a great combo of flavors. I'd like to come back and try some other entrees, because I don't feel like anything but the waffle had a wow factor. But I appreciate any restaurant making an effort to create interesting and delicious vegan dishes! read more

The glass walls in the vestibule were so gross and greasy. Like rag marks everywhere. Such a turn off. Then we noticed all the windows in the place were filthy too. Then the table was 20 mins late for the reservation. Host was very matter of fact and unapologetic. Food was good, but it's fighting an uphill battle within the overall experience. read more

I am so glad I finally got to come try this place out. The food was just as good, if not better, than what everyone has told me. The prices are a bit higher but this is all vegan food and a restaurant in River North. They do not skip out on flavor - don't come to this restaurant expecting it to taste like non-vegan food or if you don't like alternate sources of protein! Service was very fast and kind - can't wait to come back here and try some more things. read more

I loved it. I recommend the crispy rice (soooo good), eggplant nigiri (nice smoky flavor), spicy tuna hand roll (amazing, next time I'm getting the regular spicy tuna sushi roll), and firecracker roll (can never go wrong with sweet potato). I went with 2 non vegan friends who weren't the most impressed but who cares about their opinion. Ambiance was great- really pretty and well decorated spot. read more

My god daughter was looking for a vegan spot for her birthday. After doing research she decided with this place. Great choice! The ambience and lighting were perfect, the staff were very friendly and the food was as great! Some of the best sushi around. Less than $200 for the four of us and that includes mock-tails. There's some more sushi I'd like to try. read more

My review is based on quality of food for the price you pay. Breakfast was the best "meal"; I had the French toast. I had the truffle fried rice & it was very overpowering, HEAVY on the truffle. I had a matcha, it was blah, solid 3/10. The rolls are good, don't get me wrong, but they didn't make me want to say I need to come back. What will I come back for, that crab Rangoon dip!!! 20/10 you hear me! They were a little stingy with the chips. Speaking of they...I went on a random weekday with very little traffic & our server was a cool 4/10. I'm easy to please, difficult to impress, when it comes to service. I had to ask for a refill on my water way too many times. There was also a change in shifts or he went for a break and didn't even tell us. It was like "surprise, I'll be replacing the other guy" The ambiance is beautiful. Lighting is not too bright but not too dark. Bathroom is intimate with great mirrors, also very clean. Overall, I was underwhelmed by the service and most of the food. read more

Went here for a quick lunch, and as a typical meat eater I ended up very satisfied with this vegan meal! Started with the bao sliders and was immediately obsessed. When I bring my vegetarian friend here next week, this is the dish I will not compromise on getting! The crispiness of the mushrooms with the soft fluffy bao buns creates a magical pairing. The spinach dumplings are a favorite of my mom's, but I can't say i'm a huge fan myself. If you like spinach and a kick from the chili- you'll love this. The poke bowl was fantastic. Full of fresh and delicious ingredients that were topped with a few excellent sauces. I loved how much mushrooms they included in the bowl, and I thought the ratio of the vegetables to rice in there was perfect. The service was prompt and polite, having us in and out within an hour, which was very helpful because we were there during a work day. Overall, a sleek environment with modern decor and good vibes. Cant wait to come back! read more

I'm so happy to finally write a review for Planta Queen. This place deserves all the love! I've been to this place so many times and to celebrate multiple occasions. It has been my constant source of good times and amazing food. I recently visited this place with an out of towner friend who loves plant based meals just like me. We ordered a bao slider, dan dan noodles, crunchy peanut tofu, and spinach and shiitake gyoza. All the dishes were yum! Crunchy peanut tofu was our favorite. It is served with a Malaysian dip and it's so tangy and compliments with the crunchy tofu. Dan Dan has been my constant dish on all of my visits. Not gonna lie, at times I just dream about this dish randomly and cannot stop appreciating how lovely it is! In my past visits, I've also tried crispy gyoza, Singapore noodles, dragon roll and crispy chilly tofu. Everything is so good and flavorful. For drinks, we tried Herb your enthusiasm, Lych Please and Mezcal me Maybe. All were yum and love the creativity with names. As an avid follower and lover of plant based dishes, I recommend this place 20/10. Please give it a try for good food, amazing ambiance and creative cocktails. P.S. Huge shout out to our server who went above and beyond to find if any of the dishes could be customized without onions/ scallions. read more

You guys...? We were seated right away for a 9pm reso, but what does that matter when it takes until 09:35pm??!! for a drink to show up?? The app items we ordered : broccoli, potatoes, and cauliflower were killer. Amazing. So so so good. We actually ordered everything at once, because it took half an hour for us to order. Apps, and Ruben to split after the apps, all at once. After finishing the apps and then waiting for a while, we then reminded the waitress about the Ruben we ordered to split with a salad. Which came out sometime later but it came with fries. When we told the lady who ran the food that the side choice was incorrect, she stated, "it said fries on the screen." As she pulled the sandwich away... to fix their mistake? So because we pointed out their mistake, our sandwich will then disappear, further get colder, as they scrape fries away to replace with a salad? Is this amateur hour? Listen, when YOU as the establishment make a mistake, you dont take the food item away from the costumer. You also don't argue? I don't care what it says "on the screen" We just wanted to get the hell out of there at this point. So we said just leave it, forget it. I don't know why we didn't walk out. read more

i need to find my go to... i ordered the poke bowl and the mushrooms were divine - just the right amount of breading and not overly fried. it's so amazing how they transform veggies into faux fish! i hate watermelon and the "tuna" watermelon was incredible. as a vegetarian/wannabe vegan, i'm really trying to focus on 100% plant based/whole food - no fake meats. planta will surely help me pave that path. excited to try more. read more

This spot has been a first choice for me whenever we have a date night or special occasion so naturally I wanted to have my birthday dinner here. The food was great as always. We were able to try a lot of different rolls and dishes and they were all delicious. The downsides to the experience were more service related. Our server was very polite and in top of things but the service was still quite slow. We had to wait long periods of time to order or put in second rounds of food, get more drinks etc. I don't blame the server but I think they were taking care of too many tables at once and that caused the service to be slower than we would've liked. When we sat down we were giving the option to still water or sparkling, I opted for sparkling and my partner asked for still we were told they had run out of pitchers of still water (??) so we both just got sparkling. When we got the bill we found out it was a $10 bottle of fancy sparkling water. The water was more expensive than a lot of the sushi rolls and almost as much as some appetizers. We were both kinda shocked that no one thought to mention the upcharge and especially after being told the still water wasn't an option at that moment I would think the reasonable solution wouldn't be to up charge a $10 bottle or if we were told it was $10 we would've declined. Not the biggest deal ever but it's never fun to get an unexpected extra charge on your bill. Lastly this is more of a personal thing but we did write down it was my birthday in the reservation and everywhere I've gone including places that are much less upscale than this atleast offers some type of birthday /special occasion something. One waiter did say happy birthday, but other than that, it was kind of obsolete. I understand it's not necessarily like the restaurants job to do these things, but in my experience, most upscale places and nice sitdown restaurants in general will do something for you, even the dive bar I went to over the weekend, offered me a free drink for my birthday. My partner did ask them and they said they don't do anything for birthdays or special occasions which I just thought was kind of interesting for a place of this price point and vibe. Overall, it was a good experience will still be back for me. This is a better value for the happy hour and the discounted days. Definitely better to come on an off day when it's a little bit slower so you'll get better service and always ask how much everything costs even water read more

We've tried this place in NYC a few years ago and decided to give the Chicago location a try. Overall, the food is just...ok. The portions are pretty small for the prices, which made us feel like the dinner was a bit overpriced. Good: - eggplant miso nigiri - this is really tasty, but you only get 2pc so plan accordingly! - bang bang cauliflower Skip: - tofu wok stir fry The ambiance of the restaurant is moody and cool - a great date spot, but probably better for a corp card than personal spend read more

The food is all vegan, and they do a great job making it creative and flavorful. The spicy "ahi" watermelon sushi roll was definitely a standout--super unique and packed with flavor. That said, I wasn't a fan of the Thai noodles; they were kind of bland and didn't live up to the rest of the menu. The space is sleek and modern, and the service was friendly. Overall, a great place for plant-based eats with some real highlights. read more

For Maki Monday, the $15-16 rolls are either $8 or $27 for unlimited amounts. The cheaper options on the sushi menu don't count for maki Monday--you can always order separately. The spicy tuna roll was a stand out. I preferred it with soy sauce over the spicy mayo, but try it with both! The baked crab roll was interesting. It was kinda like eating a rice paper roll of fried kimchi read more

I went here for a quick bite as it was 3pm and I had to get to airport, and there were not many options that stood out that were open nearby. This place is interesting as it is a vegan restaurant, and as it was 3pm, there was no wait and I just opted to get seated at the bar. I got their bang bang broccoli as that seems to be the #1 dish here, and it was pretty delicious. It's hard to justify paying a base price of $15.75 for broccoli, but the execution is on point as the broccoli is fresh and the batter is nicely crispy. I really like the sweet chili and peanut sauce as it is not quite sweet and sour but the distinctive flavors make it quite addicting and reminiscent of the Chinese American fusion flavors. read more

Let's start with the pros... The food was absolutely incredible as a vegan. I was so pleased. I love the look of the restaurant and I have to say I enjoyed the fact that everything was encouraged to be shared with the table. I feel like it builds bonds and is a wonderful touch. Unfortunately, I do have some cons when I initially entered the restaurant two staff members walked past my party and didn't speak. Finally almost as if it was a chore. One of the staff members made eye contact and gave us a table. This initially affected my view of the restaurant, however, that was changed by our waitress and the staff members who brought our food over it was a complete 360 compared to the service we received when we initially came in the door. Overall, I'll definitely check this place out again. I'm glad I didn't let the initial encounter affect the Space. Food was amazing ample vegan options. Dessert was absolutely delicious and there is some actual wonderful staff members at the establishment. I highly suggest you check this out. read more

I am so HAPPY I was able to try planta! It took me going to Chicago versus the two cities that are closer to me (Atlanta and WPB) to finally try it. I was also amazed how my meat eating husband was willing to try it too and HE ENJOYED IT! The inside of the restaurant is so cutesy, so demure, so pink (including the glassware) and so me lol it was really nice! And FINALLY to go to a place on a Sunday where everyone is not flocking to it and there is not a 2 hour wait was exactly what I miss about big city living! We had no line, no wait, absolutely was able to sit down immediately! The waitstaff was very nice and made us feel welcomed and had suggestions and recommendations for us. My husband tried one of the drinks (the same one I wanted to try) but unfortunately because they make it in batches it couldn't be nonalcoholic which I completely get. I chose one of their nonalcoholic drinks (purple one) and it was delicious and refreshing. We started with the 1000 potatoes (without the caviar, because they were out of it) and the cauliflower-BOTH were so delicious! I wanted to try the broccoli but my husband has a peanut allergy so I will be back to have on my own! We also had 2 hand rolls; I got the mushroom one and my husband got the spicy tuna! This place was worth the wait and worth the price! I enjoyed it and so happy I got to go! If you are vegan, vegetarian or a meat eater, love trying new foods, mixed with Asian influences-it is a must you add to your list! I can't wait to come back and try some other items! read more

My visiting manager was interested to try vegan food in Chicago. So I found Planta through online research and recommendation from friends. It didn't disappoint! I had vegan food before but it was fried gluten or soy, but Planta changed my mind. The chefs actually transformed vegetables and fruits in a way that I would not have missed the "real thing". Give it a try! You might surprise yourself! read more

Bro, I am such a fan. This spot is on-point--all day and all night. A colleague of mind who is plant-based made the reservation and a spectacular one at that. I love plant-based options--being from the South, we love a good vegetable plate, but Planta Queen on on a different level. I love the vibe. Our waitress, Jasmine, was kind, honest, and very accommodating. We deserves six stars. I love the family-style of this spot. It creates belonging and community in dining which you don't see a lot of restaurants. We should all be more willing to share and this concept is a dying art. We had several items as mentioned, but the Beef and Broccoli is by far my favorite. It is almost orgasmic and I would would've love to have had a small bowl of sticky white rice with it all by itself. This is a dish I'd come back tomorrow for. They have a large menu and about three different assortments of options with sweet potato, which is a good vegetarian stable. I sipped on the Mint Lemonade which was remarkably refreshing. Grab a table and enjoy some plant-based delicacies. Planta Queen reigns supreme! read more

This place was so disappointing. We got the cauliflower wings, sweet potato hand roll, bao, unagi nigiri (eggplant), sake to me (drink), and ahi roll (watermelon). 1) Service. It took a while to come take our order. The unagi I ordered came out long before the unagi my partner ordered. 2) Old seaweed. I told them right away I have an avocado allergy and I asked for a certain roll but no avo. They told us that their sushi is pre-rolled and they can't customize anything because it's all prepared in advance and then covered. I thought surely just the ingredients are prepared in advance together or something (still massively terrible for a place with a large portion of the menu being sushi...) but when the rolls came out the seaweed was VERY rubbery and chewy. Tasted very old. Not at all appropriate to serve in a place that charges same prices as a sushi restaurant. The only time I've had seaweed this bad is grocery store sushi where it's been sitting in a fridge all day. The rice also tasted very old. I don't understand how sushi places can roll things on the spot but this place has stale rice and stale seaweed. Gross. I'm so, so sad about this experience. I came here for a celebration and we left absolutely shocked at how bad every part of the experience was. The service, the food (the biggest disappointment), the drink stained menu I was given, and the sticky table. I always want vegans and non vegans to be able to experience awesome vegan food but I will never take anyone here. This is why non vegans think all vegan food tastes bad. My advice: just go to a sushi place, a Korean restaurant, or any number of the decent fusion places in CHI. It'll be far better. read more

Service was so bad tonight. Hostess and person that seated us both in dismal moods. Our server was very kind, but not attentive or timely. My date got his drink half way through dinner. No apologies though we inquired about it early into appetizers. Food was delicious, yet pricey as usual. I will happily pay for good vegan food. Maki Monday is still my favorite night. An attentive server still the best, too, on any night. read more

I have nothing but good things to write about Planta--creative, flavorful vegan bites at a reasonable price point. This was my first time here for lunch, and we were able to get a table with no wait, which is always a bonus! The service and the upscale-but-not-stuffy ambiance was lovely as well. The Bang Bang Broccoli is consistently a must order, and this time was no different. New to me, however, was the bao slider, which I LOVED; the textures of the bao and the mushroom were out of this world. The firecracker roll was one of their specials and very robust flavorwise, especially compared to most vegan sushi options. The peanut tofu was probably my only skip. It's a great plate of tofu and peanut sauce, but I don't know that there's much more to it. read more

PLANTA Queen is a higher-end Japanese inspired vegan restaurant in the Loop. My sister recommended this spot and I came here to try their lunch special ($28) which includes a starter, main, and a cookie for dessert. My oh my, were my expectations exceeded when it came to the high quality nature of our dining experience and the food. We tried two of each. For our apps, we had the Spinach Black Bean Dumplings and their Bang Bang Broccoli. OMG, the broccoli was fire! The fiery peanut sauce was fabulous and serving that with tempura broccoli was delicious. We also enjoyed our dumplings but for sure would get the BBB again. For our mains, we had their Ahi Tua Tartare made from beets as well as their Mushroom Truffle Udon. I enjoyed the marinade in the tartare and it was a nice dish with great texture served with chips. However, the real star were the udon noodles, where the mushroom truffle sauce truly elevated the entire meal. Although a bit on the saltier side, it was delicious and one that I'd order again and again. If only they had extra noodles or rice, because at the end of the day, we really wanted more ways to enjoy the stew. Not to mention that this restaurant is gorgeous. Perfect for a date night or with friends on a special occasion. Thanks so much Planta for a phenomenal lunch. read more

Planta deserves their flowers. This vegan food was delicious and fun and creative. Came here for happy hour and still stayed for dinner. My friend and I ordered a ton of food so that I could try an array of items. My favorite item that we ordered with the torched and pressed sushi. 100/10! Just amazing. The crispy rice was really good. I didn't even taste the watermelon and the avocado blended in well. Just wish the rice wasn't so chewy. The bao buns are great. They did really well making sure the bun wasn't thick but just enough to still taste the mushrooms and kimchi. I could go on and on but you get the idea. PLANTA did a wonderful job with their menu, the textures, and flavors. The meat substitutes are endless and I love they didn't have to use any soy. I highly recommend coming for happy hour to get a taste of what they offer for half the price. The service is great and the ambiance is calm and welcoming. read more

Whether you are a vegan, a plant based eater, or a food explorer - rest assured - this is your safe haven. EVERYTHING is vegan and is inspired by Asian cuisine. The vibe is a couple steps down from fine dining but definitely a couple steps up from your fast casual spot. Let's call it upscale casual? Come cute, comfy, and ready to eat!! I came with a party of four and just did not stop ordering. We ended up getting 3 items from the "Sushi" part of the menu, 2 "Chilled & Raw", 2 "Small Plates", 1 "Wok & Noodle", and 2 desserts. We were MORE than satisfied. Plus, we imagined this would be a $300+ meal which ended up being ~$45 per person. You get way more than you pay for in our eyes. Does not seem like you can go wrong when it comes to ordering. Now, we weren't able to substitute much - but I have a feeling it's to maintain the integrity of the dish. This food was ridiculously good. A couple of my favorites were: 1) Dragon Roll (all of their sushi tastes like LEGIT sushi. So good) 2) Matcha Cheesecake (maybe the best matcha dessert I've had.) 3) Singapore Noodles 4) Spring Roll (eyes got more hungry than my camera, sorry no picture!) 5) Avocado Lime Tartare Come with a few people, get about 2/3 dishes per person, share, and get to experience the flavor explosions. You'll definitely see me here again. read more

Amazing interior design, service and food. We made reservations and were promptly shown to our table upon arrival. We had just made it for the last 10 minutes of Happy Hour, but we still ordered a few items off the regular menu. Here's what we ordered: Lychee Tini Sake to Me: Super cute cup Summer Rolls: my favorite. Reminded me of a Vietnamese spring roll Baked Crab roll: nothing bad to say, was my second fave! Firecracker Wings: Pretty close to chicken flavor! Udon Noodles: tasted more like pasta than traditional brothy udon, but still delicious Steamed rice: Jasmine and fluffy We spent about $44 per person and I'd recommend trying everything! Parking is difficult to find, so if you do drive, account for about 15 minutes of driving around. read more

This is one of my top 5 favourite restaurants in the entire world...! Need to look at a thesaurus for words synonymous to "wonderful" and "amazing" bc everything here is perfect. FOOD: - the Lych Please drink (haha...) is the best drink I've ever had in my entire life. - my mother got the bang bang broccoli and it was AMAZING. The sauce it's cooked in is incredible, we asked what it was & the server said the chef just adds spices :) - I ordered the cold sesame peanut noodles bc I remember loving them somewhere else. They were amaaaaaazing & I had half leftover to eat when later at the hotel. - the dragon roll comes with eight pieces & is phenomenal as well. I also had leftovers since I didn't finish my noodles bc I was so full, & the dragon roll was still wonderful after several hours of being in a bag walking around Downtown. ATMOSPHERE: The place is beautiful - upscale, but we didn't feel out of place in our casual sweaters. The interior is very romantic & also good for groups bc there is quite a bit of booth seating & more private booths towards the entrance/exit. I saw families with kids, friends on catching-up dates, etc. stunning place to take someone for a date. Very welcoming, gorgeous, & fancy but not in a way that you'll feel out of place if you come in wearing a sweater. The employees are also very sweet. Ate here last holiday break and this holiday break & both times were lush & very enjoyable. The pink water glasses are also beautiful...! Thank you Planta for bringing magnificent vegan sushi & other entrees to Chicago :) xx read more

My husband and I came here a few weeks ago for lunch. I am pregnant and needed a sushi fix. We were super excited but we did leave hungry. We started off with getting our first rolls so quick and then we just kept getting forgotten about. We asked about our remaining rolls multiple times. We were there about 80 minutes and only got 3 rolls and bao buns. We left because our last roll never came. I would have ordered more but I was afraid we would wait even longer. I want to go back so bad because it was really good and I need sushi while pregnant but the service left a bad taste in my mouth. I am really sad to be writing this review but it has been bothering me for a few weeks. read more

There was an accident outside of the restaurant while we were walking in and the staff went out and made sure everything was ok, getting anything they needed. This just set the tone for how wonderful and caring the staff were. The ambiance: beautiful, intimate, warm. Always had someone checking on you. Firecracker roll: just a little spice but tolerable from someone who does not like spice. Delicious roll. I would say more sweet than savory. No need for soy sauce. Bang bang broccoli: a dish that was slightly more spicy, but just enough spice. Delicious from someone who doesn't typically like peanut flavor. It was filling/ heavier than broccoli itself would be so make sure you order a small dish for the meal or share with your table mates. Great starter. Ramen (December special): presented beautifully. I mean.. the egg yolk, yolked. lol. Flavors are great independently and together. The noodles did make it slightly bland but were great (we would get it again). Chicken katsu- smell, taste and texture similar to regular chicken. My meat eater husband was very impressed. We had it separate from the ramen so not sure of the combo flavor together. We were talked into the seasonal sticky toffee pudding dessert and so grateful for the recommendation (all of them). It was melt in your mouth goodness with so much flavor. The ice cream was the cherry on top for this dish. We got a cookie to go and it was SO soft. Even soft the next day after sitting out. We also had the NA rose, old fashion, peppermint tea, espresso martini. We would recommend based on flavor. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. Plant eater or not, please try it out. read more

Alejandro was our server for the visit. He was lovely, attentive, and laughed at my bad jokes. I enjoyed the Dragon Roll very much.

Solid plant based restaurant with a beautiful esthetic. The decor is lovely. I went to PLANTA while hosting a friend who is vegan. The food was delicious. My favorites dishes that I ordered were the sweet corn dumplings and the firecracker roll. We each ordered our own meals and plates but had some of each other's because it all looked so good! Our waiter was very attentive and helpful when we were ordering and deciding between two dishes. I would definitely come back! read more

Disappointing once again! People working at this particular location are either asleep or completely clueless. It's the Management's fault. They are not trained properly in delivering customer care. Today was my second order for delivery within the last four weeks. Same issue as before. They completely ignore the order notes. I asked for chopsticks, soy sauce, wasabi for my sushi, which I shouldn't even ask for, it should come with Sushi, as well as pickled ginger. Common sense people! I received NONE of what I asked for. I have dined and ordered in multiple times in Planta in South Beach, as well as Coral Gables, Florida, and this one here in Chicago. NEVER had these issues in Florida. Only the Chicago location. You guys need to improve your customer service. I am actually going to reach out to the general manager because this is just beyond frustrating. read more
