After discovering this place three years ago, I was excited to come back for some healthy food while in Reno. Unfortunately it was not quite as magical as I remember. I went there 3 times during my trip. The first time my bowl came out lukewarm and swimming in sauce which made it overly salty. Then I waited more than 40 minutes for my dinner later that evening. For that, they were kind enough to comp me a free meal. The next day I brought my friend and he really enjoyed his plate. So it's the healthiest place in Reno with a diverse menu, tasty options but it's no longer 5-star in my book. read more

Absolutely love this restaurant! Both locations are great! Their menu is delicious and has so many options. I love that the food is fresh. They are extremely allergy friendly. My daughter calls this "the dinosaur restaurant" because they hav toy dinosaurs out on a lot of the tables and the kids can play with them. Their salads and burritos are delicious!!! read more

This is one of my favorite places to get lunch! The dishes are full of fresh produce and flavor and the prices are pretty good for the quality! I'd recommend the mushroom tacos or the garden salad with quinoa. read more

This place has good food. I always get their veggie quesadilla, their specialty bowls, or green salad with quinoa. It's pretty disappointing though because every single time I come here or the the other location in Midtown Reno, they mess up our order. Trey either forget to tell us they are out of something, they forget the avocado or quinoa or extras we ordered. For example, the latest order was a veggie quesadilla with extra Cheese and it had barely any cheese for a normal quesadilla and there was only some veggies in the middle of the quesadilla and the green sauce (which is amazing) should be everywhere throughout and there were two bites in the whole thing that had it. Usually when I get the salad they forget something on it. Love the food but never is a smooth time. read more

I have been here many times and had very good meals, so I recommended it to friends and four of us ordered lunch from here yesterday. All four meals were poor, with one almost inedible. Three ordered the Korean bowl and it not only lacked flavor, there really was nothing about the bowl to qualify it as Korean. One of the bowls had a clump of meat in the middle that was 75%fat, with three humongous broccoli stalks in it. Well, given only a plastic fork in to to-go bag made getting through the broccoli impossible and there was almost no meat available. I had the Bollywood bowl with two large inedible broccoli stalks. Mine was barely decent, so disappointing with its almost complete lack of flavor. This used to be an automatic stop when coming to Reno, and I ententes here often when I lived here. It is permanently off my list now. read more

A great lunch place on the south side of campus! Not "college student cheap" but definitely affordable for something healthy and quick. There is seating both up and downstairs and has a casual atmosphere. The bowls are great and so are the burritos. I'd recommend the Korean BQQ bowl and the paleo bowl. The grilled chicken burrito and quesadilla are both good and quite filling. Get them both Deluxe (w/ sour cream and guac)! Drink wise, there are several beers on tap and other non alcoholic options like lemonade, tea, soda, and more, but I would try their smoothies. All are good but my favorite is the Peach Berry Chia, and if you like peanut butter try the PB&J! Finally, for dessert, try the chocolate chip cookie with sea salt! read more

I absolutely love going to laughing planet to get some work done. It is two stories with plenty of seating. The customer service was amazing and they were very helpful in answering any questions I had about the menu. The food was great, I really enjoyed how there were many gluten free, vegan, organic options available. A perfect place for a quick healthy meal option! They also have jazz nights on Wednesday, make sure to go check it out! read more

I absolutely love this place. The entire menu is just flat out delicious. It's by far from favorite Door Dash food. All there Bowls are just amazing, I routinely order there Thai Bowl. Which always exceeds my expectations, food is just on point. Might be my all time Favorite chicken burrito. I haven't prefer a single thing on there menu that I haven't been delighted with. Fresh food high quality ingredients is a easy place to give five stars too. They deliver five star meals everyday read more

Free-range meat offerings with fresh vegetables epitomize Laughing Planet Cafe. The restaurant sits across the street from UNR's Sierra Hall making it convenient for college students and their visiting families. The bistro flair includes both indoor and outdoor seating although the initial appearance gives the look of fast food. Do not underestimate this Reno gem. read more

This was my first visit to the Laughing Planet Cafe on Virginia. My husband and I had an impromptu lunch date and decided to stay close. Now, I have to admit we really like the original Laughing Planet, so we had high expectations for this location. However, I am happy to say that they held up to them! First, I love the decor! Love that I can sit downstairs or go upstairs. To me seems like plenty of seating! Secondly, the staff were super friendly and service was great. We ordered quickly, they answered all our questions without hesitation or annoyance of how long it took me to order. =o) Our starter (we always get) of guacamole and chips came quickly and was just as fabulous as always. With what seemed like perfect timing our food came out just as we were wrapping up the appetizer. I ordered the specialty salad and it was awesome! Greens, with quinoa, cranberries, feta, apples, chicken and other deliciousness. Definitely will return to this Laughing Planet! read more

Laughing Planet - Love it! - Vegan Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Great selection of wraps bowls and local brews. And half of for teachers during teacher appreciation week!

Always a great space. Despite parking be hard to find; yet the feeling of getting a parking tickets subsided as the food melts in your mouth, satisfying your lunch time craving. Got to get yourself a kombucha or fountain soda with your meal. If you're lucky enough, sit in the porch and meet some dogs! Very friendly staff, clean and cool atmosphere. Enjoy local good Reno food! read more

I loved this place! It's an order at the counter and they bring you your food kind of place but the staff was friendly and the service was excellent. The food was excellent. I'd definitely seek this place out again when I'm in Reno. It's an excellent choice when you have a vegan in your midst or if you'd like to try a vegan selection yourself. At the same time, for all of you meat eaters, there is plenty on the menu for you as well. I had the vegan chili which was excellent! read more

My obsession with the Thai Bowl is boarder line unhealthy. Jk, it's very healthy! The Thai bowl is a medley of veggies (broccoli, green beans and a cabbage/carrot mix) and tofu, served on top of rice with a peanut sauce on top. Though if you're obsessed with condiments like I am, I recommend asking for an extra side of sauce. They never charge for it, and then I can make my Bowl as saucy as I want! One of the most convenient things about this place is that they have the ability to order online. Most of the time I can order from my office, and walk over, and it's ready for me within that 10 minutes! Though if you have time I recommend eating there. The restaurant itself is so nice. It is two stories and has a very hipster vibe. read more

Me and my girlfriend ordered from here on August 18 2020 and were so sick from the food. Mind you it was our only meal of the day and were tossing and turning all night from this place (cramps, headaches, constipation we both were feeling this) we ordered a burrito and some tacos.

I have been here a few time to pick up take out on my way home from class and have been pleased each time so far. We each got a Havest bowl which is loaded with veggie, tempeh (could use a little more), quinoa and their killer green sauce that has a bit of kick. We also got two cups of soup, chipotle tomato and corn as well as, cauliflower and chickpea. Each were very tasty and completed our Harvest bowls nicely. The nice thing is their size is deceiving, they may look small but all those veggies certainly fills you up fast. It was priced pretty typical for two people being only $29. Everything was delicious and the staff is always so friendly. read more

This place was a LIFE SAVER. My partner and I got stuck in Reno halfway through a road trip from Texas to Washington and after days of feeling like nothing was going right for us we got a little bit of sunshine with this place. The food is fresh, filled with SO much flavor, and the customer service is outstanding. The environment is cozy and welcoming and the people who work there are so so helpful. The person who took our order was more than happy to answer questions we had about dietary restrictions and ingredients (nut allergy- cookies are great). Coming from across the country and being in an unfamiliar city we thankfully got a little taste of home. Thank you Laughing Planet, come to Austin! :) read more

This place never disappoints. We stop every time drive through Reno on our way to the Bay. Everything is super fresh and tasty and healthy. I always feel like I've done something good for myself after I eat there. I wish they would put out a cookbook. read more

Health. Yum. I eat here and I like it. Korean bbq bowl with beef. Try it. Not bad price

I love laughing planet! A great spot for a healthy lunch right by campus. Staff is always friendly, it's never super crazy busy. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. I personally love their grilled chicken burrito. read more

I love coming here for a healthy option when I don't have a prepare lunch on a workday. My go-to is the comfort bowl without the cilantro topping and just the tomato and onion of the pico de gallo. They make everything fresh so expect a bit of a wait whether you've ordered to-go or dine in. The food is vegetarian and eco friendly here so meat eaters be aware. They also have great options for gluten free and paleo diets. There are beer and cider options if you're craving a cold beverage with your meal, as well. Service is okay. Nothing to write home about but they're courteous as they rush around delivering all of the orders. It's rare that I come in here and have less than a 3-5 minute before ordering at the counter. I'll still continue to frequent this place for a meal right next to campus. read more

Was really looking forward to a meal here since it sounded delightful. I ordered queso and chips, a Korean bowl, and a side of mashed potatoes. The queso was ok. The Korean bowl was not. It was a pile of overly sweet and vinegary slaw on top of a smidge of meat and rice, surrounded by sad raw broccoli. The "spicy Korean sauce" was not spicy or Korean. The dish was inedible. I told the worker and she said she couldn't give me a refund because there was nothing wrong with it. :( read more

Laughing Planet - Empty harvest bowl & Korean bbq Pot Roast Bowl - Vegan Near Me - Reno, Nevada

My only regret is not eating Laughing Planet every day! With the location right next to the University of Nevada, Reno's campus, the pricing of their plates is very appealing. College students can afford to eat good, healthy food here. When you walk in, you are greeted by friendly staff members and an incredibly welcoming environment. With downstairs, upstairs, and patio space available, there is sure to be a nice little nook to settle yourself into. The vibrant colors suit the restaurant's theme and provide a modern look. Parking is incredibly limited so plan for a little bit of a walk. What I love most about Laughing Planet is that no matter what I order, I'm not disappointed. I love their bowls and my favorite is probably their Thai Bowl. All menu items are in the $8-13 and the serving size is about perfect. I'm never left hungry or overly full. All of Laughing Planet's ingredients are fresh and you can definitely tell. To the owners of Laughing Planet: please open a location in South Reno - somewhere with parking! read more

I'm a vegan from out of town. Here for a mini vacation. There was no vegan options at my hotel. So I ordered from Grub Hub from this place. First of all Grub Hub had to turn around and go back because they gave him the wrong order. He got here to deliver my food and my vegan burrito was so dry. I paid for the extra vegan sour cream and guacamole. Ruined my whole appetite. If you're looking for vegan options don't go to this place. Go to Great Full Gardens. Then when I call back to let them know, the dude on the phone tried to be a smart ass and say "The sour cream and guacamole are dry?" I said "NO, there wasn't any in there that I paid for. Just wanted to let you guys know. Have a great day." I don't want shit for free or anything. I just want them to know they ruined my freaking order. read more

I do not recommend this place if you are Mexican or Latino I drove 15 mins from work to get to this place because the menu looks good in the website, so I placed my order and waited 30 mins for my order only to realized that they never made it, I saw a lot of Caucasian customers placing their order and they all got their orders in less than 10 mins after placing it ... I was just observing from the second floor and wondering how much time they need to make a harvest bowl? How good was it going to taste if they were taking long time in the making? But because I only had 30 mins of lunch and I actually put personal time at work of 30 mins to drive there and back, I went back down to the register and asked for a refund from my order because I literally didn't have any more time to wait for my order, the person at the register asked me to wait five more minutes so they could make my order and that just make me more Upset, because I wasted my lunch time waiting for an order that could of be made in 5 mins! At this point I just wanted to drive back to work and forget this place, I felt out of place because I was the only Mexican person at this locations and felt discriminated specially when I asked for my money back. They made me put my information in a blank paper and they said the manager was the only one that could give any refunds... I didn't eat lunch that day and wasted an hr of my life. read more

December 26, 2016 Monday - 12:45 AM for lunch 2 Adults and 1 kid Atmosphere - 5 stars Food - 5 stars Service - 5 stars Background - Lunch for a day of post-Christmas shopping. Atmosphere - An old house converted into a restaurant. Glad I came during winter break, parking is limited in the area. Of course the classic dinosaur toys roaming the tables. Food Drink - My wife ordered me the Deathwish by Great Basin. Food - I went with a burrito, they are definitely on the fusion side, not a typically Mexican burrito. The Bubba Burrito has a lot of typically Mexican burrito items including the grilled chicken breast, pinto beans, jack cheese, pico de gallo. Borderline item was the brown rice instead of Spanish rice. The fusion was with the chipotle BBQ sauce. It worked, I would order it again. Service - Greeted when we walked in and thank you's when we left. My wife ordered after we sat and read the menus I did not have much interaction. Future - Sure. read more

Everything is good and for the most part is a healthy alternative to eating out anywhere else! Removed a star because despite heading inside with or without a massive line it always takes too long in my opinion (15-20 minute minimum)which isn't great when you need to eat and go. I always love seeing their seasonal/rotating menu options. I always have such a hard time picking because I want to try everything. Try it out! read more

We found this place is very hard to find it's on a street which has no street sign, the parking is ok enough for what they need. We came here looking for a healthy yet tasty option, found the menu hung up to be limited and almost walked out as we wanted some chicken for protein at least. As we were about to walk out the lady informed us the actual menu is in a pamphlet. After looking it over we found it interesting an decided to give it a shot. We got the hatch Chile naked bowl in and the bubba burrito; we also added green chillies and made it a deluxe which adds avocado for 2.50$ more (a bit pricey for slices of avocado, not even guacamole mixture, in my opinion) anyway took a good 20 minutes to get our order even though there were only a few people inside. When we got our food we realized the naked bowl had cold chicken. I took a bite of the burrito an water from the pico de Gallo spilled all over me. Overall it was bland an had no flavor. So I wasn't a fan as I found it was overpriced and not tasty at all not sure I would go back. read more

I'm trying to add in more vegetables to my diet, so I thought I'd check out Laughing Planet Cafe with my mom. She had a crispy veggie quesadilla with a whole wheat tortilla, which tasted really good!

This place has a wide variety of options for all! I especially love their vegan comfort bowl. It's delicious and the portion size is great plus a little bit more.

The services is always good and noon is usually their busy time. read more

First time at Laughing Planet and I'm so glad I got to try it. I ordered the grilled chicken burrito as a recommendation from a friend and it was delicious! They use jack cheese in their burritos and I thought it was a perfect addition to the burrito. Also, I thought it was really cool how they use brown rice. I also loved the decor, which was really interesting! We sat on the second floor and had a nice view of the street across. If I get the chance, I will definitely come back. read more

Had a great lunch with the Highway to Kale salad and veggie chili, with a recommended beer. Salad is super fresh, crunchy and delicious. Only thing that would have made it even better is to use less dressing. I'm not a vegetarian so was slightly skeptical of the veggie chili, but it was tasty. Casual but comfortable atmosphere. Want to come back soon and try the bi-bim-bap! read more
