The food is still really good and exceptionally fresh, however the service that is provided is a bit lackluster. The people that take your order couldn't be in more of a hurry to get you out of there. I understand being quick and efficient, but I don't think they've quite mastered the art of being welcoming in the process. Customer service isn't an easy gig, but some of the employees could benefit from a little smile and small talk training. For example, a nice "hello" would be a great start. To be fair, it was the same waitress that has taken out order twice now. Hopefully service improves. read more

Awesome food... pretty casual atmosphere. I had the seasonal bowl which was a little spicy but just right for me. My friends got the Korean bowl which had a good spice to it also. Another friend got the DIY taco bowl, he said it was very good. Fresh guacamole and fresh ingredients. Will go back. read more

I keep trying to convince myself it's worth waiting 30 min for a simple burrito. It's not. I'm done. There's better, cheaper, faster in Corvallis. read more

Wonderful customer service, HUGE compared to the Portland location. Super tasty food. We had the Thai bowl and shredded pork bowl. Amazing!!! Both were flavor explosions. The chips and guacamole are so good too and if you like hot sauce get the hottest sauce it's very tasty. read more

Laughing Planet - Vegan Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

Got drawn to this place while visiting Corvallis because of their original menu items. I really couldn't tell what type of food they were going for but it felt like a Mexican Asia fusion and it actually worked really well. Even though I'm not vegan or vegetarian, they had really great options and this is definitely the place for people with those dietary preferences! The smoothies were definitely not ordinary but I loved it because I'm always looking for something a little different. I was sad we couldn't sit inside because of COVID but it looked like it has a great vibe either way! read more

Easy quick eat place with great food, I typically get their tempeh royal burrito. Always good service. Good for families and a more casual place to eat with friends. read more

My sister and I were visiting Corvallis for thanksgiving weekend and I being both gluten free and vegan, stumbled upon this place. Instantly our favorite spot! My sister does eat meat and gluten so there is a great balance between dietary restrictions and no restrictions. Staff was absolutely incredible. We have been twice within 24 hours because this place is just that good. Flavors are on point. Burritos, bowls and specialty bowls were A+. Would be back everyday if I lived here!!! read more

Laughing Planet - Holiday bowl (specialty) best holiday meal I've ever had being gluten free and vegan! 10 out of 10 - Vegan Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

Great fast and cheery staff! Cool clean interior that is also comfortable. Not TOO cool with rustic hard edged wood and without those cheap metal seats that look like they escaped from your college science lab. This place has a nice feel AND function. Fresh salad materials and flavors. Tasty dressings. And the smithies are the real deal (frozen fruit, not ice cubes). Was in town for Claire's wedding and had some extra time. We liked the one we ate at several times in Eugene, but Corvallis' Laughing Planet is way better! Cleaner. More consistent. Happy staff. read more

I've been to Laughing Planet in Portland, OR, many times so when a friend suggested the LP in Corvallis as a meet-up-for-lunch location, I immediately agreed. Laughing Planet serves up delicious healthy flavorful food and my bowl of chili was no exception. And now they're serving kombucha, too! Win/win! I love that they have food for everybody - I can order vegan/plant-based and my friends can order something meat-based and it's all good food, fresh and tasty, too. I only wish Laughing Planet had locations everywhere on the planet :D read more

Vegan options AND dinosaurs? Yes. My road trip pal and I were in search of some tasty vegan eats to fuel us on our long drive to California and yelp came to the rescue. We LOVED this place! I had the veggies, rice and beans bowl and my pal had the soylent green. Delicious and filling! All the ingredients were fresh and the service was friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed the vast array of hot sauces to choose from. Aaand the nutritional yeast shaker. We both then ordered Che Guevara burritos to go for later down the road. Let me tell you. That burrito still tasted amazing at 2am. read more

My first visit to Laughing Planet! Great lunch, had the Zappatista salad and it was great. Green Goddess dressing is addictive. The service was friendly and efficient despite a large lunch crowd we were served quickly. The interior is light and open and there is outdoor seating in the front and upstairs. You won't be disappointed! read more

Laughing Planet - Zappatista salad - Vegan Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

If you have a group with varying dietary wants and needs, Laughing Planet likely has you covered. If they don't, maybe you don't get to eat on the go often and/or should reduce unnecessary restrictions. This said, their accommodation of diets-gluten, vegetarian, vegan, meat eating- is not overdone and pompous. Nothing self-righetous about any choice, you're free to eat what sounds good to you. I often indulge in a veggie bowl with a meat substitute (though meat eating) because they do them well here. Most recently the Spanky's Bowl (mashed potatoes) called my name so that's where I went. I also had a bite of the Korean Bowl (very good with decent kick) and the quesadilla. My husband, from the midwest who I'd once assume might be afraid of such an establishment, asked to go here when we were most recently in town. Reaching all audiences, I tell you. There is good beer, drink, smoothie offering. Tasty desserts. And dinosaurs on the tables. Eat good food, have lots of choices, and let your inner child out for a short time. Laughing Planet does good! read more

I had the BOLLYWOOD BOWL. It was cold when it arrived. I needed something hot on a cold day, so this was really a let down. There wasn't much chicken, which I was imagining would be roasted hot, but not. I could barely taste any sense of the coconut sauce, nor feel the creaminess of coconut milk in my mouth, which was a large part of the draw for me for this dish!! The chick-peas were dried and HARD, which was not pleasant on my teeth or jaw. Maybe they meant dried chick-peas, but that was not indicated on the menu. It says they are "Roasted" which means to me that they're cooked well in an oven, and soft like roasted veggies. Nothing tasted fresh, and the green beans were kind of shriveled. There was barely any flavor. Bleh! I also had bought a chocolate mint cookie to eat later. It was terribly dry and crumbly, and also barely had any flavor...tasted dry and grainy. I had been on a long road trip to deal with my father's death, felt depleted, and really needed some hot comfort food. This food was practically an insult to my sense of being a human. :( read more

IPA selection is awesome! Basically all the food is good! At least everything I get! Bollywood bowel is exceptional. read more

One of my go-tos around town. Been here multiple times, always trying a different bowl and so far they are all unique and yummy. Especially when you use the coupon in the Student Survival Kit, its definitely a cheaper, filling, yet healthier option around town. read more

What a welcome evening of amazing food after a long drive from Ashland. I LOVE the menu. So hard to decide what healthy/ yummy dishes to order. I made a great choice w the Harvest Bowl. The Simple Margarita was great too.., This place would thrive in Ashland! When r you coming? read more

These guys have the best pork tacos in town...and that is saying a lot for someone that doesn't eat many!! Give them a try and enjoy!

Went here with the fam for a quick dinner (parking sucks in this area of Corvallis). Really fresh food prepared here. GF, VEG and regular options here, but with stuff flying around in the kitchen, be wary. Overall, a really good bunch of burritos were had. The mole version did have a flavor in it that we didn't care for, but other than that, good healthy food. read more

I wanted to go there for a very long time and finally last week I could go. It didn't disappointed me! I ordered o bowl and it was amazing, spicy and tasty. Less than a week after I've done a new visit again, this time ordering a Bollywood Bowl, also very good! Good food, good atmosphere, not pricy... Don't take your date to a place like this for dinner, but to hang out with friends and enjoy a good burrito it's perfect!! read more

Laughing Planet - Bollywood bowl - Vegan Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

This is a great place to get a healthy, reasonably priced meal. I tried the seasonal pot roast bowl and the beef rivaled what my mom makes back home. They also have other menu options like burritos and smoothies that I would like to try if I lived in the area. Each table has a big plastic dinosaur on it which I thought was cute and quirky (and which my 5 year old cousin especially enjoyed). read more

This was a fun place with a friendly atmosphere. The workers were welcoming and nice. I ordered the Korean BBQ Bowl with chicken (9.50). This dish usually comes with beef or tofu, but I'm not a big fan of beef and I wanted some meat so I asked for chicken instead and they were super accommodating. I thought the bowl was really tasty but still healthy and I would totally get it again. I also got the Peach Berry Chia Smoothie (4.75), it was pretty tasty but kinda spendy so I don't know if I'd get it again. My friend got the Southwestern Green Chile burrito and thought it was good but not amazing. She also got the oatmeal cookie and I tried some. I thought the cookie was DELICIOUS. It was also vegan so I did not feel guilty eating it. Also you have to bus your own table so don't forget! Overall I thought it was a cool and funky place to eat that offers healthy food and I would probably come again. read more

Really fresh, delicious, filling but not heavy. Staff was friendly too. I had the chicken burrito with avocado and I'll be back to try some other things. Good green salsa. read more

A 5-star shout out to Edgar! He is always personable, welcoming and gets my order out quickly! He is a big part why we keep coming back to Laughing Planet. read more

Quality of the food is good but portions' size are underwhelming and it's pricey. Menu rarely changes except for one or two monthly featured bowls, and daily soup or chili. read more

Actually forgot that I'd previously done a review back in 2011. Even harder to believe LP has been open that long! Since LP has opened, I've probably dined there at least 50 times, and gotten take out another dozen times or more. I could be way low on both of those estimates too. Here's why Laughing Planet has literally become my default go-to restaurant for dates with my wife, take-out, quick solo meals, and business lunches: 1) Consistently friendly service over a period of years. "Friendly" means a couple primary things for me- smiles and eye contact and flexibility with my weird orders. It's not uncommon for me to swing in and order 3 side orders of guacamole combined into a single dish along with a small portion of grass-fed beef in another small bowl :) I have never, ever gotten a whiff of impatience or an eye roll when customizing an order at Laughing Planet. On top of that, they've always found a reasonable way to price these "off-menu" requests. Contrast that with many experiences where I paid for a full order of "this or that", just to get the one a la carte item I was interested in. 2) Consistent food. My favorite jam for a typical meal at LP is their Paleo Bowl with Grass-fed Beef and double sauce. They've changed the style of sauce a couple times and all types have been fantastic. The beef is always juicy and tender and the vegetables perfectly cooked. Every time. I appreciate consistency, especially when I'm considering taking a client or future client to lunch. I rave about LP to my guests, and LP always delivers. Side note- The variety of the menu makes it a great default spot for business meetings- my guests never have a problem finding something that looks great to them. 3) High quality food for the price. For roughly $10 I'm getting a large serving of Oregon-grown (often Willamette Valley) vegetables and a filling portion of fall-apart, Oregon-raised grass-fed beef, along with a freshly made sauce. Some may not care about organic or grass-fed, but for those that do, Laughing Planet is a fantastic food value. 4) Mobile ordering!! (This is the newest rad thing about LP)- Some time in the last year, they partnered with ChowNow. You can download the Laughing Planet app for android or iOS and very easily order your food ahead of time AND pay for it through the app using Apple Pay (my favorite) or store your credit card in it. Then when you arrive at the restaurant, you simply walk over to the side counter and they have your whole meal waiting for you- either in a bag to go, or on a tray for your table. Super easy to use and I've never had a mishap. Great app design. It would seem that culture drives a lot of this experience- Recently my wife and I were grabbing dinner and the new GM came and introduced herself and we sat and chat with her about her background and what she likes about Laughing Planet. It was clear to us that she was not only proud of the menu and experience they have in this regional restaurant chain, but was very enthusiastic about the company culture, and the local owner of the Corvallis shop. When a businesses' people enjoy what the do, it always spills over onto guests IMO. (And vice versa of course) There are several great food venues in town, but if you're in to clean food (ie. paleo, vegan, veg, Whole 30, etc) and you're looking for a new jam that's affordable, very tasty, and easily fits your food ideals, give LP a try. read more

I love this Laughing Planet! The food always comes out quickly and the staff is very friendly. The food is always really good and I enjoy trying their season menu items, which are usually also very good. This is our go-to place when we want something quick, easy and relatively healthy. read more

So bland. Every single dish I've tried here: paleo bowl, Korean bbq bowl (had good pickles overall bland tho), chips w guac, mushroom tacos... read more

The food here was really good. We had the spinach and black bean burrito and the grilled chicken quesadilla. The green dream smoothie was also very good. The atmosphere at 12:00 on a Monday was really nice and comfortable. The crowd started about 12:30. I highly recommend this place for quality food at a fair price. read more

Well prepared and clean food. Great selection of bowls. The ingredients taste right. One of our favorite in town.

A really great change from all the deep fried pub and bar food that seems to dominate the scene here. Freshly prepared dishes and original ideas for seasonal specials were all great. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff were a big plus here. The Chipotle Corn soup was served hot, very flavorful, thick and seasoned just right and served with crisp and fresh corn tortilla chips. For the Seasonal Bowl the theme was Korean and came with scallion pancakes and roasted pulled pork that was tender and complimented that mélange of vegetables that were seasoned with gochujang sauce and other spices. Hearty and surprisingly filling and good. read more

We like the vibe of this place. It is good to feel like you are eating health food without cooking at home and we love the food.

I've been going to this location since it opened in Corvallis and always loved the food. It had been a couple years since I've been in and today I was appalled. We ordered for 2 adults and 2 children. The food took a long time, even though there was only one order ahead of us that got their food promptly. We got there right when they opened so they were not busy. When our food did come it was all COLD. Cold tacos and burrito bowl. Nothing was even remotely warm. The flavor was not fresh. In fact part of my meal tasted very off like dirty dish water and way over salted. The portions were also not as they normally have been. I was pretty disappointed and wont be going back for how much a meal costs. read more

Old faithful. They can put something together for anyone. The vegan and the carnivore coexist so easily. My fave is the vegetarian chili but the Comfort Bowl (like a classic yumm bowl) is really good. I also enjoy Highway to Kale salad which somehow makes kale taste good. Maybe it's the lemon dressing. Sadly, I do miss their mango margarita which can't happen during this covid take-out only period. Best cocktail in Corvallis. read more

This place is perfect for lunch! Their meal is very filling but also light at the same time. I have ordered the Thai bowl twice now, once dining in and once as take out. It was very flavorful. Also loved the pumpkin cookie that they had during Halloween. Literally one of the best cookies I've ever had. read more

What do you season your tofu with? It's the yummiest!! Great food, great quality! Highly recommend!

Don't bother trying to use their website or calling in to place an order with more than a few items. They will tell you they're too busy to help you. read more

Food was great, and the servers were extremely kind. I ordered the vegetable bowl and my mom ordered the bollywood bowl and both were delicious. My mom substituted sautéed kale instead the rice it came with and the flavor was great. Our only complaint would be the upstairs seating near the railing was strange as over the railing was the top of some kind of cooling system that was dusty and held cleaning supplies that could be seen if you just look to your right so we moved seats. Other than that everything was great and we would definitely go back! read more

I could eat here every day. My favorite menu item is their Cuban burrito. The bbq paired with sweet potato is delectable. Their chips are always served warm and pair great with their guac. A+. read more

Throughout all my dietary iterations Laughing Planet has always been a restaurant we could go to. There are many options and the employees have always been kind when I need to ask about specific ingredients and they can look at all the recipes easily. The Paleo bowl is a little heavy on kale for my taste but I love the Santa Fe bowl (a special), Zapatista salad, chili and the other things I've tried. Mostly I love that we can find food made with wholesome ingredients and friendly service. We've liked the baked goods as well. read more

We had the bean and cheese burritos, absolutely delicious! Did ask for mild salsa to go with the large chip order, and it was too spicy. The chips were good even plain, next time I'll see if they have a milder mild sauce, lol read more
