Found Laughing Planet one night after a local event that was by UNR as online said it was open late - woot woot!! Found parking on nearby Tenth & Virginia went inside but it looked like they were closing for the night, totallyyy bummed we started to head out. An employee popped out from the back asked if we were ready to order, so to our surprise and delight we were happy to realize they were still open and confirmed by them - we asked if we get a moment to look over the menu. We looked over the menu, grabbed a table and decided on the Korean BBQ Beef Bowl plus an order of chips with side of guacamole and for drinks Kombucha and Lemonade. Staff was friendly, helpful but unfortunately as we sat and sat wondering where are order of chips with guacamole wandered off in the completely empty restaurant - they had just forgotten that we had even ordered drinks or chips & guac...hence my minus 2 stars. The Korean BBQ Beef Bowl fixed our hunger pangs being deLISH, healthy and we would eat it again should we pop into Laughing Planet for a late-night healthy food option.

It's no laughing matter that we all need more plant friendly options to save our planet and our health, and Laughing Planet delivers that on many accounts. We ordered online for pickup which was super easy and convenient. The website allows you to fully customize your order too without needing to ask at the cashier, especially if there is a line. Our dinner consisted of the Sumac Salad ($11.50) w/o feta, and was a delicious blend of kale, spinach, crispy chickpeas, green applies, quinoa, raisins, and olives. The vinaigrette they used was very refreshing and I'd definitely order this again. We also had their Black bean Hummus ($5.50) which was a good, carby side, and their Tempeh Royale ($9.75) which was a solid burrito that can easily be shared with someone. The salad was my favorite but everything was good overall.

I love the laid-back vibe and casual bar seating almost as much as their decor. My most recent visit was with my cousin from out of town and her children and of course myself and my children; we had a party of 7. The kids were impressed with their chicken quesadillas and beans. My cousin and I ordered two chicken bowls, and my kids ordered two orders of their salsa and queso with chips and bean and cheese burritos. Some time had lapsed since my last visit there, but my tasebuds were overwhelmed with all of the fresh flavors in our bowls. We ordered cookies for the kids to eat on the way back to my car. If you're looking for a local spot for lunch in Midtown, check it out. They offer a more vegan and paleo friendly menu, and they don't dig too deep into your pockets. Although it took a while for us to even order, I knew our food would be worth it. There were food delivery drivers waiting by the bar and a full line behind us. There was only one girl running and trying to aid everyone. We felt for her. She was doing her best! They gave us our drinks, chips, and queso for the long wait. We came in during the normal work week and caught their lunch rush. I recommend ordering ahead if you're pushed for time. If you have time, enjoy this cool restaurant or get some sun on the patio.

I was in Reno, NV for a business trip and unfortunately the food that was served at the event I was attending was not vegetarian friendly... Due to this, I did a little research and happened to find Laughing Planet Cafe which was about a 15-minute walk from the event center. I am SO GLAD I found this place!! The food was incredible! I hesitated slightly when I ordered the Vegetable Quesadilla as it included carrots and cauliflower - something that I wouldn't think to put in a quesadilla... But the combination of vegetables plus the queso fresco and their house made green sauce was beyond perfect!! I ate the entire thing and could've probably eaten more. They were low on fruits for the smoothies, so I ended up going with the Mango Banana that's typically a kinds menu item because they ran out of peaches for the Mango Peach that I wanted to try. Nevertheless, it was equally delicious! Also, the service was fantastic! This place is counter-service and the guy behind the counter on this day was doing basically everything himself, but was friendly the entire time and handled it all with grace. Much appreciated!! Y'all be sure to stop by and support this local business!! I know I will if I ever end up in Reno, NV again.

I was craving something healthy and fresh and this restaurant was recommended. I ordered the Highway to Kale salad with chicken added and wasn't disappointed. The salad consisted of kale, carrots, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, queso fresco and a lemon-parsley vinaigrette. It was exactly what I needed! Very light and filled with fresh ingredients. I do think the chicken could have looked more appetizing but it was fine. Cashier who took our order was very helpful. They have outside seating available as well as interior.

Crunchero with chips and salsa and mango peach lemon smoothie.

This place was just what I needed. Healthy, quick, clean, not super expensive, lots of vegetarian and gluten free options and the smoothie was so good and refreshing. They had a lot of daily specials also This place is on the corner across from the university, two story historic building, lots of windows to look out. It looks like they also have live music nights. Chic interior. Parking is a bit of a struggle. But overall really glad we came here. I got the crunchero, mango peach lemon smoothie and chips and salsa. It was tasty!

The comfort bowl
Tori Y.

What an awesome healthy dining option! We went mid afternoon so there was only one other couple there at the time. It is seat yourself with TONS of seating options. The ambiance is very eclectic, with fun and interesting decor. The food was DELICIOUS!! I personally had the Bollywood bowl - I cannot rave enough about the coconut curry sauce that came on it. Dining in was just fine, but the lack of a lively environment is why it didn't get 5 stars for me, but their food was all incredible and an also great takeout option for lunch.

This place is perfect if you want healthy! Great atmosphere and the guy that helped us was very nice. I did ask for no cilantro and well I got HELLA cilantro on my bowl. Whatever I picked it off but it's that attention to detail. I would not sit out back because it's infested with small bugs, flying into your face and hair. Other than those two things it was a nice place! I'd never go to this location again because it's impossible to find parking as it's right across from the University. Great spot for students if you ask me. The prices were good too!

CRUNCHERO

I had tried a few restaurants before finally feasting at Laughing Planet. I was in town visiting a friend, and can't thank them enough for pointing me to the best crunch wrap supreme something I could have ever met. Order the crunchero now and thank me later.

Crunchero quesadilla
Joanna B.

Laughing planet is a great option for lunch. This location is one of the only food choice options near unr, and definitely the only healthy option. This is really convenient for students and anyone who has a job near campus. The food is very fresh and has so many options for all kinds of people. There are meat options, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, smoothies, pretty much anything you're in the mood for. I have gotten some things I don't like but that happens. However I've gotten a lot of great things. My favorite is the crunchero quesadilla. It is my favorite quesadilla out of anywhere I've been. The spankys bowl And the comfort bowl are my other favorites. They also have never been "out" of anything before, which is saying a lot considering they're in a popular spot. The turmeric mango smoothie is also amazing. The staff is always nice and the food comes out fast. Thumbs up!

Finally got to try this spot out, after years of driving past it when visiting Reno. I came here…read morefor a late lunch and ordered the Mediterranean chicken bowl which is quinoa, farro, arugula, diced chicken, tomatoe and cucumber salad, Kalamata olives and served with a tzatziki sauce and toasted pita slices. This was exactly what I was in the mood for! Somewhat light but very filling and packed with goodness. My husband ordered the Reno deli special which had salami and pepperoncinis, pesto and served with a small side salad with blue cheese and cranberries and a white balsamic dressing. I didn't try his sandwich but he said it was delicious and the salad was very lovely. I also got to try the tomato bisque which wasn't super smooth but I w joyed hw texture. Service was great by every staff member we came in contact with. This will be a new regular stop for me, anytime I am in Reno. There is seating inside and some tables outside as well. Location is in midtown with lots of shopping to do nearby.

Check out his epic Instagram congratulations blast: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJR_-CuSXKx/?igsh=MTh3bDgwMHoxeWw4 The Great Full Gardens is a local favorite and must stop when in Reno near a meal time. I don't get to the Midtown location very often, but when I do, I'm glad I came. Located in a little shopping center off Virginia Street it's centrally located in the heart of Reno. Outdoor/Indoor seating is available offering a nice shaded and/or air conditioned dining area. The food is always some of the best around with one of the cleanest set of offerings you could hope to find on a single menu...! Lots of organic and wholesome choices. I usually go for a lot less carby of a meal, but today I was feeling a Grilled Cheese made their way with several melted cheeses on sourdough with tomatoes and pesto aioli. So delicious! No matter which Great Full Gardens you're near, try it. You'll be a fan! And if you're in Midtown, hopefully you get King Tracy as your rock star server!

I was so excited to try this place after reading so many great reviews, which made our experience…read moreeven more disappointing. When we arrived, we were seated immediately, which was a great start. The restaurant was busy, but no busier than many other places we've visited. After being seated, however, we waited... and waited... and waited for someone to even acknowledge us. Nothing. During that time, we watched our server attend to several other tables, clear dishes, grab items, and process payments. We also noticed two employees standing near the register. One of them looked over at our table multiple times, so it was obvious they knew we were there. Still, no one came over to greet us or let us know someone would be with us shortly. As we looked around, we realized we were the only Asian family in the restaurant. Whether intentional or not, it left us feeling overlooked, uncomfortable, and wondering if we were being treated differently. It was an awful feeling. Eventually, our server came to our table but never apologized for the long wait or acknowledged that we'd been sitting there unattended. By then, the experience had already left a bad impression. I was there with my husband and our three boys, and it was difficult trying to explain why we seemed to be the only table being ignored. Will we come back? NO I'm sure this restaurant has plenty of customers and won't miss one family, but every guest deserves to feel welcomed and valued. A simple greeting or apology would have gone a long way. As for the food, it was good. But good food alone doesn't make up for poor service or for making guests feel like they don't belong. Dining out is about the entire experience, and unfortunately, ours was overwhelmingly disappointing. I'm typically a very generous tipper because I appreciate good service. However, when a restaurant makes my family feel out of place and overlooked, it's hard to justify leaving anything. Respect and hospitality should be extended to every customer.

Generous quantity. As light eaters, this order lasted 5 meals?!?! Did our entrees come with the tortillas? Ambiance - A small local business. Did this used to be a Subway...? Open kitchen. Indoor seating and 1 outdoor table. Plenty of parking. Open 7 days a week from 10:30am to 7:30pm, Sundays until 6pm. Service - I could not tell if they were open or not. As we got here early and the sun was so bright, I could NOT tell if their open light was on or not. Plus I was the only customer here. Not friendly or welcoming, but also not rude. Price - $35.68 non cash price. It would have been nice to have known that there is a charge for using a credit card. It would have been nice to have had the option to pay cash. Not a fan of surprises. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 2013.

I'm in love with the grub here

I will not be returning. The food was not the best to me. I love falafels but I've just had way…read morebetter. Now that's just my opinion about the food someone else might feel differently and that's ok. What really bothered me and the main reason I won't be giving this place a second chance is because of what happened while I was there. I'd never been here so decided to try it. We chose to sit in the court yard because even though there was trash and it wasn't clean and furniture was just stacked on top of each other in the corner of the entrance it was quieter for me then inside. And it looked ok plus it was a nice day to sit outside. Well even all that wasn't the problem. The part that bothered me was how a situation was handled. A homeless guy entered the courtyard and was really drugged and under the influence and he was covered in feces and he was very badly injured and was nodding off near me going in and out. He looked like he was going to overdose and then he wakes up and walks over to me and asks me for food. I said yes. Which I truly had no problem giving him food if that's what he needed. But his behavior left me and other uneasy feeling and so I had my knife out hidden just in case. A family of 10 was sitting next to us and felt so uncomfortable they went inside. So I go inside to order what the guy wanted and asked him to please wait on the side walk before I went in to order. So I get to the register and I explain to the cashier that there is a very drugged guy nodding off in the courtyard and that I didn't mind buying him food but could he give it to him and take the chance to tell him to please stay out of the courtyard and on the side walk. I explain I was disabled prier to this when I ordered for myself earlier and I am a 5"1 female and felt uneasy going back to the homeless guy alone. I asked the cashier if he could give the guy his food and ask him to please stay out of the courtyard and on the sidewalk. The cashier said no to me cause he didn't feel comfortable going up to a guy who was on drugs and acting the way he was. I told him another reason I had bought this guy food was so that he would wait outside which he did and this guy couldn't even do anything to help me. So your customer doesn't feel safe and you can't ask this person to please go on the sidewalk cause you are scared? Also i don't know what reason they have for not having the corner of the courtyard clean and trash picked up. This isn't my business and I did what I could to help since I saw the family feel uncomfortable and no one at THE FIX or any other restaurant there was doing anything? So if you don't care about a customers concerns I don't care to support you. I could honestly have overlooked the fact that it wasn't the best falafel I myself have ever had but I can't support a business who doesn't care about their costumers. Edited After speaking to someone at The Fix: I called to speak to someone about this. Apparently the guy has autism. Ok well then idk I'm disabled I have autism and I don't know what to say about that. I am not mad if this is the case but it doesn't change the experience I had. I am understanding being legally disabled myself but I wish i would of been able to speak to someone else about it who could of helped me with this concern. The guy I spoke to on the phone informed me I could have spoken to any of the businesses as there are multiple and I could of asked any one else for help and they would of helped me. But I went to THE FIX NOT ANY OF THE OTHER ESTABLISHMENT. So I feel it was THE FIXs responsibility to help me since I was their customer. Well all that aside once again i dont know why the courtyard is dirty and there is trash and chairs and tables piled on top of each other in the corner of the entrance. Your courtyard is a really nice feature and maybe you guys should keep it nice and clean. Like I said it was nice outside but not clean. Go here if you'd like this was my experience and there for I won't be returning. Sorry but you can go check it out yourself if you wish.
