Planta queen is one of my favorite places to eat in the DMV. Even if you are not vegan the food is seriously so good.
The best part of this place is that the items are a little small so you can get many plates and share them. That said some of the entrees are big enough for a single person. Truthfully I wouldn’t go for a single dish but rather only for many.
I got the Singapore noodles and they were good but I would probably rate them a 7/10 as it was little dry for me but the flavor was good. The dan Dan noodles were amazing flavor wise but I’m not going to like the presentation looked very unappetizing. However just mix them up and pull up the noodle and trust the flavor is worth it!!
Lastly be sure to try their desserts because they are amazing. For me I love the cheesecake because it has a beautiful smooth flavor. Unlike many vegan options that tend be more sour their cheesecake is more akin to a traditional one. Smooth and a little sweet but not too sweet.
If you get the chance be sure to come here!

I have been to Planta many times, but this was my first time at Planta Queen. I like the design and lighting a lot. The seating was very comfortable.
Most of the staff was very friendly. Our main server and the host stood out as especially warm.
The food was wonderful. We had the spring rolls, fried rice, beef and broccoli, and the sticky toffee pudding cake with icecream.
The only thing that was not great was the bathrooms. There were only two bathrooms , which for a space that large does not make sense.

Very lovely dinner!
My partner and I came to celebrate and we were very happy with the food overall.
The Dan Dan noodles were delicious, a sweet blend of spicy and savory. The poke bowl is worth everything as it incorporates so many of their original non-meat substitutes, such as mushroom chicken, watermelon salmon and caramelized carrot tuna.
The torched and pressed remains the most amazing roll that Planta has, the avocado melts on your tongue and the truffle is smoky. Absolutely delicious.
We personally did not like the matcha cheesecake, even thought we’re normally both huge fans of cheesecake. But this felt like biting straight into butter, very little flavor and too much fat. We can’t recommend it.
The service was also weirdly cold, we were asking for food recommendations but really felt like we were bothering.
We hope for a more professional experience for a future dinner, especially considering the price, but we will come back for the delicious and original dishes.

I visited PLANTA Queen last night for dinner and overall had a nice experience. The Bang Bang Broccoli was my favorite — perfectly crispy with a delicious sauce that really stood out.
The Dragon Roll sushi and 1000 Layered Potatoes were okay, but not something I would personally order again. The Dan Dan noodles were slightly undercooked and a bit too oily for my taste.
For dessert, we tried the Sticky Toffee Pudding (recommended by our waitress), and it was lovely — not overly sweet and very enjoyable.
The ambience was beautiful, the atmosphere felt lively yet comfortable, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Overall, it’s definitely worth trying at least once!

Enjoyed an evening with the family at this restaurant! The food we ordered was very tasty and flavorful! The bao buns, truffle udon noodles – excellent flavor, kamut noodles – greasy, edamame dumplings, rainbow sushi – very good, eggplant unagi – exceptional but a very small serving of 2 pieces! The only item we did not appreciate was the miso soup which seemed a bit lacking in flavor. Will certainly revisit.

Good experience with a good food. I always refrained myself to go to sushi place being vegetarian. This vegan restaurant sushi amazing,drinks were great not dilated. Server and food service was fast and good.
One thing was missing, clean restrooms and no waiting area for big crowd while table is getting ready. Otherwise 5star experience

Excellent vegan restaurant!
Friendly service and good flavors won us over. We tried then Dan Dan noodles which had a nice kick to them with a dominant coconut flavor.
The beef and broccoli were also delicious. The broccoli was cooked very well and the vegan beef also did not disappoint even though in general Im not a huge fan of vegan meats.
Last but not least, the bao buns were incredible and I strongly recommend to whoever likes mushrooms and some heat. The fried mushrooms were perfectly crispy and the sauce was incredible!

Stepping into Planta Queen in Washington, D.C., feels less like entering a restaurant and more like being transported into a sophisticated, high-energy sanctuary. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between sleek modernity and organic warmth. Vaulted ceilings, gold-toned accents, and lush greenery create an atmosphere that is both glamorous and approachable—a hallmark of the city’s evolving dining scene. It is the kind of space where the buzz of the crowd feels like a rhythmic soundtrack, setting the stage for a plant-based menu that consistently defies expectations.
The meal begins with the Bang Bang Broccoli, a dish so iconic it has earned a permanent spot in the plant-based hall of fame. The texture is the initial triumph; the florets are battered to a delicate, airy crispness that shatters upon impact. They are then tossed in a sweet and spicy chili sauce that clings to every crevice, enriched by a subtle peanut finish. It manages to be indulgent without the weight of traditional frying, leaving a lingering warmth that primes the palate for what’s to follow.
Next, the 1,000 Layer Crispy Potato arrives, looking more like a piece of architectural art than an appetizer. These are meticulously pressed cubes of ultra-thin potato sheets, fried until the exterior is a golden, glass-like shell while the interior remains buttery and tender. Topped with a dollop of “caviar” and chives, the dish plays beautifully with salt and earthiness. It is a technical marvel that proves how much respect Planta Queen gives to the humble spud.
Transitioning into the sushi program, the Dragon Roll is a vibrant centerpiece. While many vegan rolls rely on avocado alone, this one features tempura broccoli and savory unagi-style eggplant. The smokiness of the glazed eggplant mimics the richness of eel perfectly, while the interior crunch of the broccoli provides a necessary structural contrast. Topped with a glossy kabayaki sauce, it is a savory, umami-rich bite that even the most dedicated seafood lovers would admire.
The noodle courses bring a change in tempo. The Singapore Noodles are a masterclass in aromatics. Thin vermicelli is infused with a fragrant, golden curry spice that isn’t shy about its heat. Tossed with kale, peppers, and crispy shallots, the dish offers a bright, herbaceous profile that feels light and energizing. In contrast, the Dan Dan Noodles are pure, unadulterated comfort. These noodles are thick and chewy, coated in a luscious Szechuan kamut and coconut milk sauce. The heat here is “numbing” in the traditional Szechuan style, balanced by the creaminess of the coconut and the grit of the mushroom-based “mince.”
Planta Queen succeeds because it doesn’t try to “replace” meat; it simply elevates plants to a level of decadence usually reserved for fine-cut steaks or rare seafood. In the heart of D.C., it remains a vibrant, essential destination for anyone who appreciates culinary craft.

Love always Jasmine
Food was amazing especially the chkn appetizer and the mushroom udon. I had a Diet Coke which came out of a cute glass bottle (they did not have Coke Zero). The customer service was top notch. The ambience was top tier. We celebrated my mom’s birthday and they came out with a cute matcha cheesecake with a candle on top. Highly recommend for all vegans and non vegans!

I went to Planta for a solo birthday dinner and I had a great experience. I got the beef & broccoli and for me, it was a tad on the salty side but it was still yum. I also got the matcha cheesecake and it was divine! It was the perfect balance of the earthiness from the matcha and tart from the berry compote. I highly recommend to come to this place
