My omelet at home is better - Edit
Their Just Egg omelet was nothing special and I make a better one myself.
Read moreWe had the little caviar bits for appetizer and it was kind of plain.
The coconut ceviche was great though it was the best plate of the meal.
Pros: 100% plant based, Nice open seating space
Cons: Expensive for the taste, No cinnamon rolls today!

Exceptional - Edit
From our awesome server Jake to dessert this was a delicious experience. It’s a small plate kind of eating experience. Jake recommended 4 plates which 2 of us shared. We were stuffed! 3 between 2 people would be sufficient but you just want to try everything. I took a cinnamon bun to go. Mmmmmmm. Thanks Jake all your recommendations were stunning.

Good food but unorganized seating - Edit
I would give this place five stars except that the hostess and waiting situation was unsatisfactory. We reserved a spot for 3 at 6:30pm. My friend got there early but they would not seat her because two of us were not there. When we arrived around 6:30pm, we tried to tell the hostess, but one of the people who works on seating people stated that the hostess was too overwhelmed and would seat us shortly. He never told the hostess that we were there, and we proceeded to wait for 20 minutes until we saw other people who had arrived after us seated. Then when we complained and made a fuss about it, we were finally seated. They also had no real waiting area for people, and the place is very popular. Everything else was great. Our server was great. We ordered four dishes including rainbow sushi, bang bang broccoli, cauliflower tots, and the truffle fried rice. The dishes were so good that even my friend who is a carnivore loved it (and she has had less than favorable experiences at other vegan places with me). The food is not very healthy necessarily (a little oily) but it is really good.
Read morePros: Your carnivore friends will love it, They are very creative with vegetables
Cons: Very disorganized seating situation, Long wait on weekends/peak hours

I don’t think they even have a hostess anymore; I’ve come a couple times by myself and it’s a little off putting to seat yourself by the bar and not get good service.

A must visit in New York - Edit
PLANTA Queen is a must visit for anyone in New York. The place was so busy and had a wonderful atmosphere despite it being a little cramped. The food and cocktails were absolutely phenomenal. Between two of us we ordered AHI WATERMELON NIGIRI, DRAGON ROLL (tempura broccoli, spinach, avocado, spicy unagi sauce), 2 x BAO SLIDER (chick'n fried mushrooms, hoisin, pickled cucumber), BANG BANG BROCCOLI (sweet chili, peanut sauce) and UDON NOODLES (truffle mushroom cream, shaved black truffle). Highlights for me were the bao and the dragon rolls but I wouldn't hesitate to order any of the other dishes again.
Read moreWe also opted for cocktails LYCH PLEASE (hibiscus-infused gin, lychee liqueur, pineapple) and HERB YOUR ENTHUSIASM (thai chili-infused tequila, dry curacao, lime, pineapple, herb syrup) these were very good.
I'm not really a dessert person but since it was a special occasion we ordered the MATCHA CHEESECAKE to share. It was the perfect way to end the meal.
Pros: Fully Plant Based, Tapas style small plates
Cons: Pricey, Tables are a little close together

Neat menu, pricey - Edit
Enjoyed a light lunch of cucumber salad (served on ice for chilled crunch), exquisite sushi, and incredible (but $10!) vanilla soft serve! Expensive place , attractive food.

Fun spot with friends - Edit
Even my picky, dairy-loving partner loves this place and non-veg colleagues have been blown away by the sushi. Downstairs “speakeasy” bar cute, but a little dark so recommend upstairs. A lively vibe, but their delivery is beautifully done too.

bury me with a jar of torched and pressed sauce - Edit
if i could eat one meal for the rest of my life it would be the torches and pressed roll, specially from the $27 bottomless menu because it's better when i get to eat ten rolls for $27 just to prove a point.

I'll be back to try everything else on the menu! - Edit
My friend and I had a great dining experience at PLANTA Queen! The food, service, and vibes were spot on. I started with the melon rosé cold-pressed juice. It's exactly what I wanted; refreshing, balanced and not too sweet. I don't drink, but my friend does. Apparently, on Wednesdays, they have half off all bottles of wine. That's a pretty great deal!
Read moreMy friend and I ordered a bunch of small plates to share. We favored the crispy rice roll, smashed cucumber, and I have a new obsession with the unagi eggplant nigiri sushi. I liked it so much that I ordered it again before I left. The truffle was heavenly. The rice and eggplant were both cooked to perfection. It was salty, creamy, and one of the most perfect bites of food I've ever had.
We weren't impressed with the chick'n fried mushroom bao buns. It ate on the dry side. Also, the potato dumplings fell short for me as they seemed one note. However, the coconut lemongrass broth they were in was scrumptious! I could have ordered a bowl of just that and been happy! However, for the price, the dumplings should have been phenomenal too.
I'll definitely be back. I can't wait to try everything else on the menu!

Go! - Edit
Really cool to see a bigger all vegan spot with a giant kitchen. Love smaller places usually, but gives more people access to incredible vegan food. Good vibes, friendly staff, and tasty food. Would like to see just a smudge bigger portions or even out the number as many people split evenly (odd numbers make it harder to decide who gets last bite when you are with your partner). The noodles and rice options are portioned larger and good to share with 2-3 people. One of the servers (Babs) was so nice and that went a long way to complete the enjoyable experience.
Read morePros: Friendliest staff
Cons: On the smaller side for some portions.

Hopping, happening, overrated - Edit
A group of 4 had dinner at Planta on. Sat night, and all were underwhelmed. Portions were meager, some were bland, others gloopy. It is a very busy, pleasant, and happening place, which is surprising for a vegan joint, but not uncommon in the neighborhood.

Delicious!! - Edit
The food and drinks here are TOP NOTCH. My boyfriend and I came here for dinner and devoured everything we ordered. The spicy tuna roll with watermelon tuna is amazing. The spinach and shiitake dumplings had a little too much spinach and not enough mushroom flavor for us, but the sauce on it was great. The bao bun was INCREDIBLE. It had a perfectly plush soft bun and super crispy mushroom, balanced out with hoisin and cucumber pickles. I could eat a million of them. The dan dan noodles were not my favorite (just not my favorite flavor profile), but my boyfriend loved them. It was very nice they added coconut milk to mellow out the spice. Besides the bao bun, the star of the night was the bang bang broccoli. It was lightly battered, perfectly crispy and cooked well, and the peanut ginger sauce on top was to DIE for. It was peanuty, gingery, spicy, and crunchy. Overall everything was super delicious. The one flaw is the classic Manhattan style seating, and the loud club-like music. They really pack you in there, and I could barely hear my boyfriend who was sitting right across from me. If they toned down the music a little it would be perfect!

Best vegan food I have ever had - Edit
PLANTA Queen has some of the best food I have ever had and it happens to be entirely vegan. The “tuna” sushi tasted exactly like actual tuna but was made from watermelon. My friends (veg and non-veg) all adored it as well.

Beautiful place, great service, super delicious food. Must try their Caesar salad, cheesy broccoli, mushroom dumplings, baby gem salad and the boss tonic👌 Been there twice and loved all the food but way too expensive for the size of their portions.

Not the best vegan food I’ve eaten but pretty good nonetheless. Gyoza was spicy! Eggplant nigiri was smoky and silky. The best was bang bang broccoli.
