Every dish we tried was delicious! For sharing we had the Korean Baos, 1,000 layer Crispy Potatoes and Chick’n Fried Mushrooms. Each plate was delicious and good portion size to share between two. The truffle fried rice was delicious and good size for sharing as well. The Dragon Roll was delicious. Food was delicious. The restaurant has a cozy, serene atmosphere and it was peaceful. Server was very attentive and treated us well. Would recommend!

We arrived here on the time for our reservation , the receptionist kept asking us to stand near the bar area even when we saw so many tables empty. We checked on her twice and both the times she asked us to stand near the bar, and it felt like she doesn’t like us and wants us to leave. When we asked her if there is anything wrong she then started saying that the table is not ready and thus wants us to stand there and kept saying sorry every time. It just felt very absurd to us; if that was the case, she could’ve politely mentioned the same. She didn’t have to say anything else, we could’ve waited quietly near the bar or entrance area.
After seating our server who served us was really nice to talk to and spoke with us really well. We tried their bang bang broccoli and it was heavenly. We also ordered their 1000 layer potatoes but we felt something was missing and was probably a little too hyped. We also tried their Dan dan noodles with tofu, the tofu was sooooo tasty and soft but the noodles lacked that punch, after adding soy sauce it tasted good , but just wished the noodles came in all tasty already.
We were full but wanted to try their matcha cheesecake after reading all the reviews, and I am really happy we tried it coz I am amazed with how delicious any vegan dessert can taste. It came with cherry compote, this compote could have cut the sweetness but being tangy but it was also sweet. If they just make this compote a little less sweet then this dish with be perfect 10/10.
All in all nice place leaving just the receptionist experience. We will certainly come back here to try other dishes, hopefully our experience at the reception would be nice next time

Recently celebrated my 12 year veganniversary here at Planta Queen! It wasn’t my first time there but first time being seated upstairs. The restaurant is beautiful and I love that they don’t rush you out the door. We were able to savor our food and have such an enjoyable dinner. Our server was great! It’s hard to pick a favorite dish but probably my beef rice would be my pick. We had the watermelon mocktail which was tasty. The friend I took with me is not vegan but she couldn’t stop saying how great the food was. By the end of our meal she said it was in her top 5 restaurants of all time. The flavors and quality of ingredients are top notch. Definitely one of the best vegan restaurants in the city.

Had a wonderful experience at Planta in Manhattan. It’s a fully vegan restaurant, which is already impressive, but what really stood out was that they were able to accommodate Jain dietary requirements as well, which can often be challenging to find.
We tried the Kimchi Rice, sushi, and noodles, and everything was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The dishes were creative while still being comforting and satisfying.
The service was excellent. Our server was very attentive and made sure all our dietary needs were properly understood and accommodated, which we truly appreciated.
We visited again after 4 years, and it definitely did not disappoint. The quality, taste, and experience have remained consistently great. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious plant-based dining in Manhattan.

Decent vegan good. Been here a couple times before and it doesn’t disappoint. We got a bunch of items to share. The truffle fried rice was not as flavorful as I remember, unfortunately. But absolutely worth getting the Torched and Pressed, and Bang Bang Broccoli! Can’t go wrong with Singapore noodles either.

We stumbled upon Planta Queen last night and honestly, what a gem. It’s a fully vegan restaurant, and absolutely everything we tried was delicious. We made last minute reservation and ended up waiting about 20 minutes past it, but it wasn’t an issue at all since the place was clearly very busy and buzzing.
The restaurant itself is super cute and aesthetic with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. They have a full open bar, and while waiting for our table we were able to sit at the bar and order drinks, which made the wait feel effortless. The service throughout the night was great.
We started with appetizers and everything was a hit. The thousand-layer potato topped with caviar and coconut sauce was incredible, perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We also ordered the crispy dumplings, which had a delicious filling, and the dragon roll, which was so refreshing and light. They even brought out bang bang broccoli on the house with hot sauce and spicy mayo, which was such a nice surprise and tasted amazing.
For entrées, we ordered the steak udon noodles with truffle sauce, which were absolutely delicious, along with the truffle fried rice that was so good it instantly became a favorite. Everything felt flavorful yet light. We were full by the end but not overly stuffed, just perfectly satisfied.
The drinks were immaculate. I especially loved the hibiscus drink, which was so refreshing and well balanced. I would definitely come back again to try more items on the menu. I highly recommend making a reservation, but even if you walk in, the bar area is a great option to grab drinks while you wait. Overall, such a great experience and highly recommend.

Grabbed dinner with a couple friends last week at Planta Queen. Wanted a place with plenty of vegetarian-friendly options. We enjoyed the meal and had a big selection of the share plates. The table next to us had a beautiful spread of sushi rolls, so we ordered a couple as well. Volcano roll was disappointing, but overall the meal was really fun and creative. We enjoyed the bao buns, bang bang broccoli, and tater tots. Staff was friendly and efficient. Lettuce wraps were recommended, and flavor was peppery with a great cook on the ingredients! I think the lettuce wrap though would have needed a few condiments to pull it together. Highly recommend this place for lots of great vegan and vegetarian options!

incredible vegan food! i came here for dinner on my first night in nyc as i had heard so many positive things about this place. the ambience of the restaurant is amazing and it is great to see a fully vegan restaurant be so full. we ordered the bang bang broccoli, gyoza, spicy ahi tuna roll, and the crab roll. the ahi tuna was a standout – they make the tuna with watermelon and it is so delicious! the service was very attentive and we felt very well looked after. i dined with someone who wasn’t vegan and they were also very impressed with the food. i will definitely be returning next time i am in nyc!

Everything was great overall and it honestly didn’t even feel like a vegan restaurant. Our favorite dish was the bang bang cauliflower. The kimchi bao bun was good, but it didn’t really taste like kimchi and lacked any Korean flavor. The dragon roll wasn’t our favorite, while the sweet potato sushi was surprisingly delicious and tasted very similar to regular sushi rolls. The watermelon sushi was interesting, but the slices were too thin and it would’ve been better without the ginger on top and with a thicker piece of watermelon. The truffle mushroom udon was okay, and the service was excellent. Overall, we enjoyed the food and the experience.

A sushi lover’s dream! I came for happy hour, the spicy tuna watermelon maki is a vegan dream. Loved the Lyche Please cocktail, tasty bao buns, hand rolls, friendly service. It’s a must-visit plant-based spot in New York. Can’t wait to return with family and friends
