So we've been here and ordered delivery from this location too many timer to count, yet I ALWAYS forget to take a photo for reviewing. Why? Because the food always looks so wonderful and we always expect the food to be tasty- and typically it is! Their specials are always amazing and can be easily modified. The staff are always helpful and friendly. I love supporting this place and suggest you do too!! read more

We ordered delivery so I cannot speak to the friendliness of the staff or cleanliness of the restaurant. We ordered the Braised beef bowl, mini quesadilla, tween burrito with braised beef, large guacamole and chips, small kale Caesar salad, comfort bowl with grilled chicken. The food was delivered on time and everything was correct. Overall, the food was pretty bland and had very little of the proteins. The guacamole was good. For someone who is sensitive to spices, this may be a great option. read more

Always great food and service. We often come here when we realize it's too late to cook and need a dinner plan. Kids love it so a win win. Thanks Laughing Planet! read more

We wanted to try this place because it's supposed to be a little healthier, right? So we didn't get all of our order, but I really can't say if it was them or the delivery driver that didn't give us our beverages so although disappointed in that I won't hold it against them in this review. Mostly the food was just mediocre. I thought it strange that burritos don't just all come in the same size. Some are listed as small and others not, but you don't have a choice so it's just weird. It tasted fine but the prices are a little high for what you get compared to others. It was just an average experience so I can't say I'd make a point to return but it wasn't to the point where I'd avoid them either. Just kind of an okay situation. read more

Food at LP is always good. The diverse offerings and broad spectrum of flavors suits our palates well. Tonight I had the Korean BBQ bowl. While the quantity of beef seemed less than usual, the spice level was perfect and the pickled veggies hit the spot. What brings this review down is the sanitary conditions in the restaurant. Our table was quite sticky and there were ants crawling around on it. read more

Absolute joke. Rude condescending cashier. Literally had a posting saying "No quesadillas - too hot". It was mayyyyyybe 87 degrees outside IN JULY. Its frikken SUMMER! Unfortunately, for about 80% of the planet, it is warm in the summer. Get over yourselves and work an honest days work. Stop it, Portland. You are embarrassing yourselves with this entitled behavior. The food isn't even that good here. It isn't like you are really trying that hard anyhow. And, isn't the meat and beans & rice hot as well? Ugh. Not to mention that they trickled their menu down to bowls, burritos, salads & chips. Never coming back. Just ridiculous. read more

I know I already said this but great food amazing service and good vibes. Just so good.

Just got a Bollywood bowl at the lake Oswego location. It was the exact same as the one on Woodstock. However at Woodstock I was charged $1.50 for extra chic peas..... which they didn't even give. I thought it was such a rip off to charge that much anyway, but now I realized they just robbed me and gave me nothing extra!! read more

The serving sizes are ridiculously small. I had the comfort bowl for $25 and it was about 5 bites. I could of ate 3 or 4 of the bowls, and I'm a small to average sized person. The food is okay, but man is it not worth the value. read more

Always consistent and food that doesn't upset the stomachs. Portions are smaller than other restaurants, but undoubtedly better sourced. Just found out recently the bbq chicken quesadilla can be gluten free. Game changer. If you want a margarita that is the sum of its parts instead of weird ingredient bottle mixer this is it too. read more

EXCELLENT Food is filling and delicious Customer service is spot on Food comes very quick Would come back Nice atmosphere Many options Would rate 6/5 if could Unfortunately underrated... TrIcia & grandson read more

Laughing Planet - Best food ever - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Portland, Oregon

You'd think they were growing the food out back it's so slow. Worse yet, they don't tell you that bean and cheese burrito you just ordered will take 50 minutes to prepare when you're standing right in front of them placing an order. Been living in Woodstock and dining here since my 18 year old was little, and it's just gotten worse. The only reason they're still in business is that locals know the deal and order ahead. A teen friend orders a burrito by phone then comes and hangs out at our house for 1/2 hour before going to pick it up. A lovely routine, but really!? 20 year old in charge says they're understaffed. Even on promotion days when they know they'll get a rush they have 3 staff running front and back during lunch on a Saturday. Contacted HR to give feedback 2x and got NO RESPONSE. Ouch. read more

We have usually enjoyed Laughing Planet @ Woodstock. The people who work there, work so hard! My biggest disappointment with our most recent orders was that we paid $8 for a large chips & guacamole ($5.50 for chips, $2.50 for guac.) We received a skimpy serving of guac that would barely pass for a burrito. We should get a proportional size of guacamole to go with the chips we ordered. read more

Laughing Planet - Mini-guacamole with a large chips order...disappointed! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I ordered a Southwest bean burrito. The burrito was super bland. It tasted like they only used salt and pepper to season the beans, corn, and onions. The food was hard to get down. Going out to eat should not feel like a chore when I'm eating. Food is supposed to be fresh and taste good. The servers were polite, but the service was slow. I waited 15+ minutes for a burrito. The building had plenty of space with big tables. My table was sticky and the servers did not seem to be cleaning tables. The flavor of the food is laughable. I won't be returning because of the slow service and super bland food. read more

I love getting a quesadilla and the chocolate chip cookie! Really good vegetarian options here too

Hello. My friend and I dined at your Vermont Street location yesterday early evening. Both of us had chicken quesadillas. Honestly, they were awful. There was very little inside...a tiny piece of chicken and a few shreds of cheese. Additionally, they were dry and tasteless. And it took about 20 minutes for the food to even come. I honestly feel ripped off paying $12 for nothing. Shame on you. I will not return. read more

Size Matters. The Incredible Shrinking Burrito. I would rather pay more for the original size, than to be paying the same price for HALF of what it once was. This was not a meal. I am left wondering... if this is inconsistency or the new normal? read more

Spectacularly slow for a counter service burrito joint. 35 mins to get two burritos. Painful. So so slow. But, perfect if you are with the family looking for an excuse to put down two or three beers before the food arrives! But you better get your kids some cookies to munch on while you drink the beers! read more

I'm doing Whole30 right now and finding compliant restaurants is really difficult. The fact that nutrition facts are transparent on the website is great. I didn't have the ingredient list, but when I walked into the restaurant and asked about it, the associate happily pulled open a binder and we looked together. I appreciate the fact that they were patient with my dietary needs. The Paleo bowl had two options (beef or chicken). The food comes out quickly and just the right portion size for no leftovers if you skip grains/rice. It's healthy and largely guilt free here! I like the seasonal specials. Some things are hit or miss as far as flavor impact. Bonus is there's a parking lot and the restaurant is fairly sizable! read more

I love this place, and go often. Food is healthy and consistent. I almost always get the veggie bowl. I would caution against ordering online, because the online system will tell you your food will be ready in 15 minutes, but it lies. Call instead for takeout. read more

This place needs a seriously face lift! Super dirty and dingey--windows filthy--flooring hasn't been changed in twenty years. Your entree here will run about 14-17 a plate which is sort outrageous for fast casual place that's fairly pedestrian overall! read more

Meh. Over-rated. Basic dishes, bland, and no longer a revolutionary concept, as many others have joined this food genre. I paid way too much for a bibimbap pork bowl that had ONE chunk of pork in it. Decent patio. read more

I feel the food is super expensive for what you're buying. I got some beans and rice in a modest size and some salsas for about $7. There's tons of vegan options and my friend is just happy that there's vegan options close by so +1 there. The salsas are veeeery good. There's one that's kind of like a creamy cilantro or something. Yes yes yes. Do it. read more

LITERALLY MY FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WORLD. laughing planet makes THE BEST burritos. as someone who has a bunch of struggles with food laughing planet is the best place to eat read more

A very kid and dinosaur friendly place. There were a few menu discrepancies and a service issue. The gal that took our order at the counter had a great personality and was friendly and helpful. We ordered pints of beer along with food. They were dry on our first two choices of beer but the alternative suggestion was pleasent. We had pints of Migration IPA. It had a fruity nose and a nice hoppy modest bitterness. My date ordered a burrito, the Santa Fe with tempeh. I ordered a cup of Hungarian mushroom soup and the grains and greens salad. My salad was fresh and yummy, with lots of grains mixed a in with a vinaigrette dressing. However, much like their beer tap having a few issues, my salad was dry on the dried cranberries or butternut squash, as described on the menu. The mushroom soup came too hot to initially sample, and in a small "cup," but was good, creamy and had nice shrumes. And here comes another "however", I had to remind them about my soup and got an apology having something to do with it being an appetizer and there is no ticket for it. Say what!? My date's burrito with huge and excellent. She said she couldn't imagine it not being smothered in the green chile sauce. Overall, I would like to give them a better rating but there were several issues, not enough to say we would not be back. We can recommend and may return. read more

Before pandemic: 5 stars. Ate here 2x month and liked the staff a lot. During pandemic until now: 2 stars. Orders are consistently wrong. Staff can be rude. I ordered a veggie bowl with avocado and not only did they forget the avocado which they up-charged for, but they forgot the rice. How do you forget the rice lol. I called the store several times after I got home but it was busy each time. I contacted corporate and no response. Not the end of the world, but don't waste your money here. read more

I like Laughing Planet, because they offer healthy, tasty, options. Also, pre-pandemic this location was good about allowing groups to use the space for meetups. I've had some issues with delivery though. Several orders I have made via both Uber East and DoorDash were canceled right after they were placed. My UberEats delivery today was delayed by 20 minutes and it wasn't clear what happened. So I feel that there might be a disconnect between this restaurant and the delivery services it uses. I got the Bollywood bowl today and it's not as good as I remember. I didn't like the sauce and thought the chickpeas had a weird texture -- I think they were roasted so the texture felt more like eating a nut than a chickpea. It also wasn't very warm by the time it got here. The comfort bowl is a good, basic west coast burrito bowl and lately it's regular order. I also love the pork taco and the smoothies. Spanks bowl is a great option if you are looking for comfort food. The staff there are always willing to make adjustments and the menu has several, clearly marked, gluten free options. I like that there are dishes from different cuisines and monthly specials as well as small bites. I also really love the smoothies. read more

This place definitely has its pluses and minuses. I like the fact that you can get a variety of healthy foods (Gluten free, Paleo, Vegetarian, Low Crab, etc.) in one spot. And I'm telling you, that "killer green" sauce is CRAZY AMAZING. And yet... a lot of the meals themselves are pretty bland. And when I ordered my bowl "vegan" the cashier asked if I just wanted the vegan sour cream or did the vegan cheese, too? Well, duh. If I'm ordering the bowl vegan, I want all the vegan choices. Plus, on the website, it says there's no charge for the vegan options, yet I was charged .75 cents extra for mine. But again, I like the healthy choices, the clean restaurant, the fact that they mix in seasonal veggies, and my bowl was so filling it could have been two meals. And again: that killer green sauce!! So. Tasty. read more

Amazing options for vegans, meat eaters, gluten free, whatevs... We come here often. Awesome food, amazing staff, great prices

$36.90 per lb of chicken!! Ordered side of chicken this is what I got...and of course they don't answer their phone anymore since they only do online orders. Lame... read more

How does this place stay in business? You walk in and the first this you notice they turned the heat way down and on a weekday at 3 pm there is just one other customer there. Not a good sign. Had to wait 30 minutes to get a burrito. 30 minutes. No large line for to go orders either. " waitress" after a 30 minute delay just barely mumbled "sorry for the delay" Wait staff was giggling and yakking behind the counter" At least they were having a good time. Never came over and said anything like " We are having delays because ......" Had to go tto the front counter to get a fork. Avoid this sad incredibly slow place. read more

The restaurant is uninspired and run down, as are the staff. They weren't busy, but we waited forever for our meal. The whole experience is kinda in slow motion -- Tai Chi speed. The food was hard to get down. read more

I don't know why, but staff here felt compelled to order me and my daughter around telling us where we had to stand in an empty building citing "COVID" (We both wore masks, I am vaccinated). I felt that was a bit rude and demeaning, but it wasn't until I saw numerous white customers come in and apparently they can stand wherever they want when they order even with multiple parties inside. I guess those rules only apply if you have dark skin. Super white Woodstock has a bad reputation. Laughing planet did not disappoint. read more

I've lived in the neighborhood for over a year and just stopped in for the first time. The restaurant is bright and clean with lots of tables. The servers are great. You place your order at the counter, no table service. The food is quality, but bland. I like a bit more kick personally. Prices reflect the quality of the food. I won't be rushing back as I can spend the same at a few other places in the neighborhood and get just as good quality with better taste. Probably a great place to take your kids if you want to feed them healthy food. read more

I bike to this location fully intending to load up on super healthy good food. And that is reliably what I get, that's the draw for me. I'm not stuck with the one healthy option on the menu like I am at a lot of places. That's a treat. The staff, in addition to being friendly, are surprisingly knowledgeable about the food on the menu. "How much chicken comes if I add it to a bowl?" I ask. "3 ounces, the USDA recommended serving size," I get in response. Snap. Makes it easy for me. Laughing Planet is a chain but it doesn't have the homogenized feel most chain restaurants get stuck with. The consistency is there but it still manages to feel uniquely fun and neighborhood-y. Speaking of neighborhood-y, expect to encounter a lot of families and children here. If that's off-putting to you, sit in the bar; it's quieter and a kid-free zone. Cheers to LP for recognizing some of us prefer that. read more

Giving this place a 3-star has been weighing on my conscience. For the most part, their selection of beers on tap is quite impressive, even if the choices are limited; after all, it's quality, not quantity. I can see myself frequenting this place for some choice suds. So why 3 stars? Well, a place like Laughing Planet is primarily known as a food establishment, and that to me is where they fail. I've been here twice for food, both to get their burritos, which seems to be what they're known for. Now, maybe it's the fact that I'm from Austin, but those ain't burritos. Wraps? Sure, but not burritos. Now, that would be fine, if I were in the mood for a wrap (which is never). But, for the most part, unless I'm missing something crucial on the menu, this place is a disappointment in the area of grub. read more

The food was a ok. The atmosphere and my appetite were ruined, however, when two females showed up, sat catty corner from me and began talking loudly. One girl went on and on and on about how her friend/roommate was an alcoholic, addicted to Adderall, and barely shows up for work half the time. Way to air your friend's dirty laundry when she's not around. Bad ju ju. Small talk, gossip, and very tactless. I had to wear headphones the whole time. read more

"Our mission is to promote nutrition, sustainability, and regular bowel movements." Remember kids, poop is good. But flinging poo is bad. Good poopers earn the privilege to play with Laughing Planet's many dinosaur figurines. Bad poo flingers don't get any of their thick, fresh smoothies or vegan peach blackberry pie... So eat your damned Smart Beans* already! It's not elegant or posh. But it is cozy and clean, with welcoming neutral hues and well-loved lush plants throughout. They have a special burrito that frequently rotates, which makes it very hard for a creature of habit: hard to say no to the familiar and reliable in order to venture into the land of funky and unknown. That's what their special burritos are. The Che Guevara and Elmer Fudd are two dishes I have to bite my knuckles to turn my cheek from. But alas -- how could I deny my belly's grumbling desires to take a bite out of Zorba the Greek? Black beans, marinated olives, spinach, feta cheese, and more, with my choice of salsa, for $5.50. Yum. The burrito was tasty. I even had a small portion left over. My only qualm is that the spinach hadn't been drained too well, so the ass end of my buritto was somewhat of a soggy swimming pool lined with tortilla. My eating buddy was stoked about the $1.50 iced tea. "Free refills! I'm going to drink a LOT of iced tea while I'm here..." The cheap refillable beverage option seems like a rare commodity these days. So we emptied that glass many times while glimpsing the adorable Sasquatch paraphernalia and posters. If Sasquatch visited Portland, I think his first stop would be Laughing Planet, where he'd admire the poster board dedicated to the preservation of his distant relatives, the chimpazees, who Laughing Planet have adopted to keep safe from the meat market... He'd sit at the bar, hunched over one of many choice microbrews, contemplating the ways of life. Then, belly full of unique goodness, off to the barber shop he'd go. Even Big Foot needs a trim on occasion. Talk about super heroes: sustainable, local, healthy food; chimpanzee rescue; Smart Beans. These guys are amazing. They need utility belts to wear over their aprons. read more

Laughing Planet - best directional restroom sign EVER. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Moderately priced, kid friendly, palatable- more healthy than your average dine in option. No GMOs, lots of locally grown/distributed products used. There is nothing truly outstanding as far as taste goes IMO though my husband would disagree as he has greatly enjoyed his choices both visits. It's a busy place (at least on weekends) and the wait for what seems would otherwise be quickly prepared food is reflected in that. They have fresh made juice and smoothies as well as brewed teas and loose-leaf options. It seems most any item on the menu can be custom made to tailor the customers specific need/request. I do love the dinosaur toys that are available for kids to play with. Crayons are nice but only hold a toddlers attention for maybe 5 minutes max having "new toys" (vs the ones mommy brings) allows for pretty much my whole meal to be eaten without having to try and wrangle a toddler back into his seat. That alone makes this place 4 stars to me but going off food alone it's only a 3. Over all it's decent food at a decent price and I would recommend giving it a try at least once or twice! read more

No kids here and I would dine here every day if I had the $$$. My go to is the Che burrito...so many ingredients, all perfectly prepared. Seems like most items here I *could* make at home if I had more hours in the day. The thai-inspired sauces tend to be really bland but the occasional mustard stout sauce? I would buy that stuff by the vat if I could. This particular location seems to be one of the most busy, always worth it to call ahead and see how long the wait is going to be. read more
