Planta in DC!!! - Edit
Amazing! Great food, every time. I love this place and highly recommend it. Not only is it great food but the atmosphere is wonderful as well. Great location for date night or a business lunch.

Good food and drink, young atmosphere - Edit
We got several of the dishes including crispy mushroom hand roll, tempura broccoli sushi (dragon roll), Caesar salad, green curry, all were very well-made and delicious.
Read moreWhilethey say all the dishes are meant for sharing it is definitely pricey if you get multiple dishes,our final bill was $168 for two before tip,
We did get a couple of drinks each , the Plum vodka drink was delicious and not too sweet.
Service was friendly but a little detached. I can't quite put my finger on why I would not want to come back while it was enjoyable and delicious. I guess just a vibe, almost like a chain restaurant. Kind of loud and not intimate.
But no complaints about the food or drink, food was fresh and very well prepared and tasty. Maybe we would come back for lunch, just not my kind of bar scene.

Up-scale Asian Fusion - Edit
I loved the Dan Dan noodles I ordered. My sister ordered the all you can eat sushi special and most of the options were delicious. Service and atmosphere was impeccable as you would expect at this price point. I will definitely go again.

A Must - Edit
So many fantastic plates. The plant power lunch (monday -friday 11:30-4 pm) was a great value as you choose a starter and signature dish from menu, plus you get a matcha choc chip cookie to top it off. 3 of us shared our selections and the favs were spicey tuna roll, bang bang broccoli, udon and dan dan noodles. Had leftovers to take home too. The dishes were delicious and we enjoyed no crowds or wait at 1:30. An exceptional meal and experience. They also have specials other days of the week and have attached a pic of the sign of those specials as of September 2023.
Read morePros: many flavorful choices, beautiful restaurant , enough for leftovers

Expensive but really good - Edit
This restaurant is so beautifully decorated! Just by entering you can already see that it is a fancy place. The menu is not so varied but still many interesting options to choose from. I had the Udon Noodles and it was amazing! Everything about it was really tasty, and the combination of different flavors was perfect. It is one of the most expensive dishes that they have, but honestly worth it. I tried a bit of the other dishes that my friends ordered and the Udon Noodles was my favorite by far. The sauce was sooo good, I'm still not over it! For dessert, I had the bubble waffle and it was also great. Beautiful presentation, but a bit difficult to eat in the glass cup, or at least I couldn't figure it out properly. I am not such a big fan of ice cream but I loved the one that was a part of this dessert! It was very sweet and matched perfectly with the waffle itself. There were many other interesting elements and it all came together nicely, when I somehow managed to eat it. Overall, this was a high-end experience, and I would definitely recommend it!

pricey and trendy fusion - Edit
Decor is cool, and some dishes were really good. I have higher standards for sushi being from CA and didn’t like the sushi overall. It looked pretty but fell apart while being eaten.
Read moreThe restaurant decor was better than the food. The Chinese style dishes were good but too spendy. There was truffle in everything to make it seem fancy and it was overdone.
The service was pretty friendly and they let us stay past closing. The Hong Kong waffle dessert was the best thing I had. Second best was lettuce cups. Overall I think some things were good but there’s room for improvement.

Not up to the standard that other Plantas set - Edit
Since the restaurant is vegan, Happy Cow won't let me give it one star. If I could I would.
Read moreWent for dinner recently -- (1) how does a vegan Asian themed restaurant run out of vegan sushi? (2) backup choice 1,000 LAYER CRISPY POTATOES -- out of that, too (3) three desserts delivered serially 15 minutes apart.
The good -- the bang bang broccoli was as good as ever.
I've been to five other Planta family restaurants and have generally had great experiences. This one was by far the worst.
Pros: Bang bang broccoli
Cons: Worst service of any Planta family restaurant

Excellent, but room for improvement - Edit
PLANTA Queen was absolutely phenomenal. We did the Maki Monday special which was super fun. Some dishes were better than others--with a few standouts like the Dragon Roll and Torched & Pressed. I'd say the palm heart crab cake was a miss, and the spicy tuna roll was not very interesting. Otherwise everything was awesome.
Read moreIt was odd that the second time we got the Dragon Roll, it was different? Also, while all of the initial rolls came out very quickly (and snaps to our waiter Leo who had us order multiple rolls at once rather than making us wait), the last roll took like 40 minutes to come out. Leo comped us a Bangin Broccoli for that, but it was odd. The ambiance and vibe are absolutely lit at PLANTA. I'd def recommend this place to everybody and anybody.
Pros: High end food & environment, Delicious creations
Cons: Some dishes still require refining, Service was friendly and attentive but often slow

Nice high end all vegan restaurant - Edit
Amazing all vegan food right in the heart of DC. Great new addition to DC vegan scene. Went with a group so got to try a variety of things and all the food options were very tasty. Vegan fine dining that is surpisingly not very pricey. Good size serving of food. Was packed on a Sunday afternoon

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had - Edit
The service here is unmatched. One of the best dining experiences in DC. Great Asian-fusion menu. Everything is delicious and more plant-based rather than processed. Highly recommend!

Delicious Fine Dining - Edit
Planta is amazing! There was so much to choose from. I knew I would at least be ordering the Bang Bang Broccoli and it was AMAZING! I highly recommend you order it. The sauce, the crunchiness, it’s fantastic! I also ordered the Dan Dan noodles which were delicious as well. Visit Planta.

Needs work - Edit
I realize they are new and need to work the bugs out, but both food and service were inconsistent. One glass of wine was good, the other was full of sediment, obviously the bartender wanted to get the last drop from the bottom of the bottle. We had three sushi dishes, the bao bun, the sweet corn dumplings, and the brownie sundae. Two of the sushi were great, one was not good. The bao bun was fine. The sweet corn dumplings were pretty awful. The wrappers were soggy, the sauce was like cold bland soup, and the corn was burnt so bad it was crunchy. The hot fudge brownie sundae was mediocre. The ice cream was not fresh and had ice crystals. The brownie was good but a little bland and more like chocolate cake. The hot fudge was hot but not fudge-y. The service was a bit too friendly which made it too awkward to complain when we waited over 20 minutes between our meal and our dessert. I would recommend this place for a drink and appetizers, but go somewhere else for a full meal until they get their feet on the ground.

Matcha Cheesecake & Dan Dan Noodles - Edit
I really loved the Matcha Cheesecake and Dan Dan noodles. I wasn't sure what to expect because I ordered delivery, but everything was so delicious and high quality! I was happy with the portions, too. The szechuan kamut in the noodles are delicious, and the coconut milk makes for a rich and creamy flavor. The Matcha Cheesecake was satisfying. Now I can't wait to dine in.

You really should! I had never tried any of the other PLANTA locations around the US, and I'm not sure if you have, but I still think this one would be worth trying especially since it's a new location
