So it's been a whopping 6+ years since my last glowing review of this spot, and I'm glad to say that they are still killing it. I was inspired to write this after discovering that they have Gluten-Free burritos! I had no idea such a thing existed so I decided to try one (the current Holy Mole special). I was skeptical, but lo and behold it was great! The GF wrap doesn't appear to be much different from a standard one, and it actually tastes good! And there's only a $1 upcharge. I am so stoked that I can enjoy burritos again. I also discovered they serve cocktails here -- current choices are: margarita, moscow mule, gin & tonic and old fashioned. So on a nice day, you can plop down on the outdoor patio and enjoy a margarita with some chips & guac. Now I just need a good excuse to try one... My go-to move is to look at their webpage from time to time and see what the weekly special is. I usually end up ordering it and it always satisfies. Laughing Planet thanks for being awesome! read more

First time coming to this place. I was not really sure how things worked but the employee helped me out. He was very helpful and patient with me. He explained everything to me. I ordered a few things. And they came out within ten minutes. But that did not deter the taste. Everything I got was delicious. I ordered the median spicy salsa which was delicious. I would have ordered more. The food was amazing customer service was amazing. The place was clean and spacious. I would definitely come back again. read more

The food was not visually appealing. It was not prepared according to the description or the modifications such as no corn, no killer green sauce, paid extra for chicken and yes there was chicken but pretty sparse. It was a group order and sadly nothing was labeled The extra sauce requested was not received, just overall disappointment. read more

Laughing Planet - Supposed to be an Amaizin Grace quesadilla. - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I've been to laughing planet many times and it's always a reliable spot to get something healthy and tasty. They have bowls, salads, burritos, quesadillas, smoothies, and more. I got the green chile burrito this time and it was pretty good. It was huge and I did really like how packed it was with veggies. Only $9.50 which I think is pretty reasonable given the size. I do think the better thing to get here are their bowls or salads though. If you have dietary restrictions or are vegetarian etc this is a great spot to try out. Indoor and outdoor seating. They have an online ordering system and do delivery as well. read more

Laughing Planet - Green chile burrito - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Ordered a chili that was lukewarm and when I asked if they could heat it up, they said no they would just get me a new one which I never received. The chips were stale not sure what happened to this place but I will never go back. read more

Best place in Eugene for healthy, tasty food with extensive vegan options. Everything is great but I especially like the Spanky's bowl (w. added spinach and medium salsa) and Veggie bowl (w. extra pickles and tahini dressing). Their cookies are superdelish! Super clean and pleasant atmosphere, friendly service. I love the Blair Street location but based on this past week's meals (5/8 days - don't judge!), this location may be even better. Long live the Laughing Planet Café! read more

Laughing Planet - Needs more pickles and sauce, but otherwise a heap of perfection! - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Laughing planet is always great but this one was even better! The employees are so nice and the smoothies are a staple in my weekends 10/10 love the vibes read more

It takes quite a bit of bad food to make me sick. This place did it pretty quick. The food was cold, tasted old and perhaps from a customer's leftovers. The room was cold and dark. Don't know what happened to this store because it used to be very good. Service was good, that's why 2 stars. Ambiance was like a dungeon and the food - very bad. read more

I don't understand how I keep forgetting that Laughing Planet is a viable place to get quick, healthy, fulfilling meals. I did a couple hours of remote work here recently and ordered the tempeh royal, and it was great! I was starving when I got there so it was exactly what I needed. I ordered a side of sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. I barely touched them though. So now I know that the burrito on its own is plenty. read more

I really do like the food here, when they get it right. The issue at Laughing Planet is their quality control, both in food prep and in order accuracy. I've been coming to their various locations for years, and this maybe was always an issue - but given they've messed something up two of the three times I've gone recently, that's not a great recent record. The first time I ordered the amaizin' Grace quesadilla plus chicken, and got a veggie quesadilla - mostly an issue because the one and only food I can't stand are non crispy mushrooms (flavor is great, I don't dig the slimy texture). Thankfully, I noticed before taking the order home. This time, I ordered the same, and they got the quesadilla right except forgot the chicken (which I definitely paid for). Additionally, the quesadilla got soggy in the four minutes it took to get home. I'll always come back here, but please get your sh together! read more

Laughing Planet - Amaizin' Grace missing the chicken I added, and a sloppy mess. Still tasty though. - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

affordable, quick real food( somehow hard to find in this town), a place to linger and study, amazing cookies, delicious tempeh in any recipe / greattttt smoothies, too read more

What happened to this place...? Terrible service that pushes you the screen to tip when it's not a sit down dinner. The staff had trouble putting orders in their bags to go and just seemed unpleasant. Horrified at the front counter, who is hiring here? read more

Healthy and affordable. Tasted great and could tell they have high quality of ingredients. Highly recommend

We've dined at laughing planet for years, since they first opened on Blair st. I love the veggie quesadilla and they make really good smoothies too. Not a fan of the steamed tortillas for the burritos but they have some really good, healthy, organic foods. read more

Tougher than expected to find Whole30, was sad that the 100% apple juice advertised was just normal apple juice. My meal hit the spot though :) I was happy to be able to get a bowl with pico de Gallo read more

Laughing Planet - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

This is a joke. Do not get delivery from here. They do not give you forks. The manager basically told me to F off. Ok rad how am I going to eat this food I ordered?? They added napkins but no fork?? Make it make sense!!! read more

My sister and I tried this place and are very happy with the options we had we've actually both got the Molay burrito. My sister got it vegan and I got it with meat and I tasted her. She didn't taste mine, but I would recommend this restaurant for both vegan and non-vegan eaters. read more

We were outside the restaurant and were calling to place an order. They finally answered the phone and asked if they could put us on hold. I said yes and then watched him unplug the phone! The staff wasn't even busy! Not coming back. read more

One of my favorite spots in Eugene. Was so happy to learn they opened a second location on Willamette. I had the Bollywood bowl with no rice. This is my go to dish. Very good! It is chicken breast, steamed broccoli with roasted cauliflower, garlic green beans (my favorite), spinach and yams. It has a real tasty Indian spicy coconut sauce and they top it with these delicious curry roasted chick peas. Yes! Delicious in every aspect and it's healthy. That is a win win. My son had the crunchero quesadilla. Wow! That was amazingness in itself. Jack cheese, black bean hummus, lettuce, avocado crema and they garnish it with cilantro and radish. I almost wanted to trade dishes and eat his! They both were excellent choices and you can really taste each individual flavor in each dish. They used to have a lavendar lemonade to die for but I didn't see it on the menu. Give this place a go if you haven't already. read more

Laughing Planet - Bollywood Bowl minus the rice - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

See all

Fresh ingredients and diverse menu. Seems like they take food allergies/dietary needs seriously. We ordered two bowls, and one didn't have enough sauce, while the other had way too much sauce. One of the bowls had plenty, while the other was only half full (leaving my partner hungry afterwards). Feels bad especially since these bowls aren't cheap. read more

I love Laughing Planet. I have frequented both this location (Willamette) and Blair, and ordered out from the Hillsboro a few times. Some may see the following as a small gripe, but every bowl containing beans comes out closer to soup than burrito fillings. I have ordered more than 20 bowls (thanks, punch cards, for counting!) at this location over the last couple of years, so believe me when I say it is a consistent issue unique to this location. I finally had enough and asked them to re-make the pictured bowl, and they brought out a slightly drier bowl with the sauce on the side, as if that was the main contributor to the problem. I have covered my bases, dropping several written suggestions in the box, asking the manager nicely, and trying to remember to request a more thorough every time I order. Maybe a negative online review will finally grab their attention. I will gladly revise or delete my review when something changes. UPDATE: 4 years later and all their bowls are still soup. Come on y'all! This rice bowl is full of water!!!! Get it together!!!! read more

Laughing Planet - Korean BBQ Bowl - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Second order for take-out in 6 months that wasn't properly prepared. This time, no sauce provided for a bowl. When called, they told me to come back and they would provide it. Wow, that's looking out for the customer. read more

This joint is good. They use only organic ingredients and have dinosaurs to play with. Who wouldn't like that? I always get the SW Green Chili burrito while my better half swears by the Spinach and Black Bean burrito. Add a side of green salsa and you can fill up and feel good about it. Grabbed a vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. Was a bit worried it would be dry and yucky, but it wasn't. Delicious. Don't be afraid! read more

Laughing Planet - Cookies! - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

See all

Korean BBQ bowl is simple, satisfying and delicious. I get it with the pasture raised beef, which is generously topped in the jasmine rice (or brown, but I prefer the softer and fragrant jasmine). And it's got lots of color from the veggies! They also sell hearty cookies! The oatmeal chocolate chip is one of my faves. read more

Over priced and no flavor. If you're into no flavor or seasoning, go here! People working were nice, and it took no time to get the food but it was really lack luster for the price. ‍ would not eat here again. read more

This place is going downhill. For starters, you can't find a more COVID-phobic business. It's almost August in 2022 and the whole staff is N95'd up. They have a sign up saying "masks recommended" and literally no one that goes in honors it. And the customers are all cautions Progressives themselves. I ordered a quesadilla and the cashier told me they weren't making them. When I asked why the manager told me it was out of respect for the kitchen staff and the heat. Yes it was pretty hot (earlier in the day) but the thing is, the place is cool as a cucumber and air-conditioned! The food all tastes the same, but I gave it 3 stars because the ingredients are quality (yes you pay for it though) and it's relatively healthy. read more

I feel compelled to say just how good I think the pork tacos are at Laughing Planet. They surprised me for sure! Great flavors from this restaurant. Korean BBQ bowl was delicious. A very underrated spot IMO read more

If you want great, healthy food - this is the place! The people who work here are great as well! The tacos, korean bbq bowl, crunchero- it's all so good!The only downside is that they can be REALLY busy sometimes, so the food can take a minute. Other than that, this place is awesome! read more

literally took 30 minutes to get food and there is no one else in here. staff don't seem to know what they are doing.

OMG, you've outdone yourself Laughing Planet! I went in there for lunch today (I usually have the Zapatista salad with avocado lime dressing which is sublime) but instead I tried the 'special' whose name I forget.. It started with Bimbi... and it had kimchi, baked tofu, jasmine rice, steamed spinach, napa cabbage... and it was the best thing I've tasted in a very long time. Love the service here, (29th & Willamette restaurant in Eugene) The staff are always real friendly and helpful. PLUS the hempseed chocolate cookies are to die for. My favorite place to eat in Eugene. Also, I took my 4 yr old grandson there a few weeks ago and he loves the dinosaurs! (as well as the kids Quesadilla meal) read more

We eat at Laughing Planet about once a year, basically until we forget a decidedly mediocre experience and decide to try it again because it's so close by, but this will have been my last visit. I hope that this was just a really off night for them. We came in well after the dinner rush; there were only 4-5 people there and all had food on the table. No one arrived after us. It thus came as a surprise when our simple order took 30 minutes to arrive. I ordered some sort of mashed potato bowl that sounded warm and hearty, and instead received a bowl heaping with barely lukewarm corn and broccoli from the freezer. Unappetizing to say the least. No salt, pepper, or spices, just half-heated tasteless frozen veggies. Underneath were some mediocre mashed potatoes with a little cheese mixed in. This was hands down the worst meal I've had at a restaurant in Eugene. The bloke's "BBQ" burrito was probably 2-3 stars. The veggies were the same tasteless frozen sort and there was a tiny dollop of BBQ sauce at the bottom of the burrito. Definitely a miss on all counts. read more

I love Laughing Planet, but I've learned a few things to keep it so I love this place. The food is healthy, fresh, and affordable. On nights when I don't feel like cooking, this is my go-to place. We almost always call our order into the restaurant for take out. Their menu (and nutritional info! Yay!) is online. We get there right when the food is ready, and it's almost always as we ordered it (once they messed it up). The few times we've eaten at the restaurant, we're usually annoyed by the loud kids or the long wait, and sometimes they flat-out forget we ordered something, and it'll sit in their warmer until they notice or we say something. Bottom line: eat food from here, but not at the restaurant. read more

Laughing Planet - Inside seating - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

There food is always on point, and it's healthy while also being delicious. It's decently priced and they are relatively inexpensive.

I wanted to love laughing planet because one of my friends raves about it. I have tried it a couple of different times and both times it left me thinking "meh" its good but i don't think its worth what i spent...I could walk next door to Market of choice and spend less probably for a more flavorful dish. I do like that they cater to food allergies. it just wasn't for me...definitely recommend trying, everyone is different. read more

Wish there were places like this close to our home. It's quick and relatively healthy so I suppose it could be called healthy, fast food. It's clean, lots of choices, food is decent, fresh and the staff is nice. read more

Food is always good but the service seemed off. We ordered online to pick up and specified "dairy free". When we got the food, it had cheese in it. We went to the counter to ask if they would be willing to change it. They said "it doesn't tell us when you make a modification". We showed our online order receipt and they just stared at us. Eventually, they said they might be able to make a new burrito. The online platform might need to be update? Again, the food is good, the experience was just a bit off. read more

The laughing planet is a truly wonderful place to eat! I have been going there since I was a little kid and the quality has never declined. Their atmosphere and staff are wonderful! I have made many memories at this place with my father it is one of my favorite places in the entire area! If you want high-quality food this is the place to go. Plus, it's affordable and filling. It is also not too far from Sweet life. A meal at laughing planet it's not just food to sustain you it is an experience to be treasured! It perfectly captures Eugene's culture I hope this place will be around for many many years to come they are fantastic.I highly recommend them! read more

Service has really gone downhill at the South Eug' location. In the last 6 times I've ordered, I got 1 correct order. Yesterday, I ordered a chicken paleo bowl and got pork. Other times they ran out of veg and didn't bother adding anything else, or the time I waited over an hour for a pick order that said, will be ready at 6pm. not sure if they just don't care anymore but I won't be ordering here again. Which is sad because I want to order from these healthy fast food places. They do not have a complaints process, no e-mail, nothing. I've thought about calling them to tell them but I think it's just time to find a new place to get take out. read more

We ordered delivery after coming hone from a long road trip and this was just perfect! Every thing we tried was delicious and light and filling. Laughing Planet is going into our permanent rotation. read more

Laughing Planet? More like laughing at customers who walk in and will pay 6 bucks for a rice burrito. I wanted something hearty, and healthy. I called and asked. Broth in the rice? Nope. Lard in the beans? No way. Can I get dairy free? Yes. IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG! Placed an order of beans, lite rice and pico. Got watery tasteless beans, tons of rice and little pico. Pequeño pico, if you will. And the burrito was laughingly small for all the hype. Plus it was cold. Wham, bam, no thank you ma'am. read more
