Tucked away and worth the find! This little gem was near an errand I was running and glad I found it. The team members are all great! They take pride in their restaurant's offerings, as they should. My server was wonderful, offering suggestions to this first-timer. I started with a Volcano Roll - hearts of palm substituting for fish. Well balanced and delicious. Next was broccoli "beef" - fresh broccoli and shitake "steak" with mushrooms really balanced the dish. I ended with something so unnecessary and so wonderful, I'm glad I did it: The sticky toffee pudding. Just pure delight. It was relatively quiet when I was there. I could see how it could get a bit noisy if it were crowded. But even so, the people who visit are friendly and I ended up having a great conversation with the table next to me. I'll be back. I'm not exactly local, but it's definitely worth the trip! Planta is on my faves list now! read more

I am not vegan. If it weren't for our friends who are, and having eaten already at the kopino fest, we probably would not have gone. Funny enough, we met our only other vegan friend there. So, from the vegan perspective, this is a popular and tasty place. We started with drinks, being lunchtime, we opted for non alcoholic drinks, the matcha colada and the salty maple macchiato. The matcha colada had a nice color but tasted mostly like coconut and pineapple which was still yummy. Friends ordered 3 different kinds of sushi and dan dan noodles with tofu. I was confused with the sushi as I thought vegans didn't eat fish...so yes I asked and was told that they probably made the "fish" with tapioca. I did try a bite of each roll (I was still full from the fest) and I was surprised that it tasted pretty good. They did a nice job with the roll and presentation. The matcha cheesecake was nice and creamy. I would not have known it was vegan. I don't normally like food that pretends to be something else because it usually doesn't live up to the real thing. The idea is that it is not pretending to be something but rather substituting with vegan options, I do think from a health perspective, I am more open to trying more vegan foods. Ambiance felt upscale and wait staff were helpful and congenial. I hear dinner time gets packed here. I may have to try again when I have not eaten already. read more

Grabbed a late vegan lunch with a friend at Planta Queen in Nomad, Manhattan NYC. Favorite dishes (they were outstanding) were AVOCADO BEETROOT TARTARE pine nuts, citrus soy, sesame, cilantro, taro chips And RED DRAGON ROLL carrot salmon, avocado, pickled watermelon, masago, spicy mayo. Dan Dan noodles, fried mushrooms and general d cauliflower was just OK. Service was quite good. Seated immediately. We were stuffed after these dishes. #vegan #gf #glutenfree #vegetarian read more

I came here by myself at 5:45 before a 7pm show and I had plenty of time. I was the first person to be seated downstairs that evening. The lights were low and the tables were quite close together. The service was prompt but thorough and the food was delicious. Thankfully the server suggested a side of steamed rice to go with the "beef" and broccoli. Together it was delicious. read more

PLANTA Queen Nomad - BEEF & BROCCOLI and a side of steamed rice wok seared shiitake 'steak', tofu, scallion, sesame - Vegetarian Near Me - New York, New York

As a non-Vegan I was kind of impressed by how far they could take vegan food. Remember, ALL the menu items are vegan so even when they said "chicken" or "steak" it's vegan versions of them. They have a varied sushi menu that does taste pretty close to the real thing. If you're worried about protein or anything of the like, they have extra orders of meat, including the steak and it tells you the grams of protein it contains which is great (though not the total calories, so who knows what the protein: calorie ratio is). My favorite of the night though was the bang bang broccoli which is fried into a really nice texture, somewhat soft in the middle but a nice little crunch throughout. The service was kind. The vibes were cute and there's always res available at a reasonable time. read more

Came here for happy hour and it was so good ! We had the mezcal ginger drink and the margarita. For food we devoured the unagi eggplant with a delicious truffle touch. We had the spicy tuna roll and the crispy rice, both amazing although the toasted coconut detail on the spicy tuna took it over the edge! Service was delightful with Miguel as our bartender. He maintained conversation and recommended both the crispy rice and the mezcal drinks which were both hits. Ambiance was great with a cooling down and low exposure vibe on a sunny and warm day. Will certainly be back and bringing friends ! read more

Manhattan, NY (NoMad) - there's no shortage of outstanding vegetarian & vegan restaurants in NYC these days, and I'm all here for it! I don't do dry January, new year's cleanses or resolutions (there are 12 months left of the year to disappoint myself with - why rush into it), but after a gluttonous holiday season, it felt righteous to clear the slate and palate with something more wholesome. The Asian inspired, plant-based dishes here are full of flavor and tickled our tastebuds. My appetite demanded something heftier than the well-touted vegan sushi, so I ordered a noodle dish: an udon bathed in rich and umami truffle mushroom cream, and could've licked the bowl clean! I opted for a protein add-on of "steak" (unfortunately they ran out of the crispy chick'n cutlet that I'd originally wanted), which was less interesting, made of textured bean curd sheets that lack muscularity and chew - I'm fond of them as a popular Asian pressed-soy snack, but am partial to a beefier kind of fake meat product if it's to be sold to me as steak. Despite the impressive simulacra of flesh marketed by the imitation meat industry, haute vegetarian cuisine tends to explore the flavors and creative qualities of fresh produce and non/less processed plants, grains, nuts & seeds, and legumes, in a way even dedicated carnivores can appreciate, so don't fear missing out on meat or "meat." The surprisingly simple bang bang broccoli is bangin'! And a crowd favorite. Definitely get that. The avocado beetroot tartare and crispy rice were excellent as well. My dining companions variously ordered sushi, fried rice, and other noodle dishes, and all were happy with their meals. Service was very warm and knowledgeable. When we asked our waitress Stasia for recommendations, she rattled off a list of items and their attributes, gamely answering our questions and clearly knew her way around the menu. "One of everything please!" read more

I've had Planta on multiple occasions. They have great food, tasty mocktails and lovely service. Overall an upscale experience. The food is so good, you don't have to be vegan to enjoy it. I'm a big fan of the crispy rice bites and special rolls. It's fun to try new dishes here and I've never been disappointed. Sometimes they have specials. It's perfect for a date or catching up with friends. read more

Tons of vegan options and perfect place to go with your friends. When we ordered the noodles, one of them was completely missing salt but the waiter was super helpful and accommodating. Bang bang also didn't hit like usual but everything else was amazing. Because of the number of options, recommend going with a group so you can eat family style. read more

Decor has a sophisticated look and nice color scheme. It would be a pretty date spot. The food came out quickly and was tasty. My observation is that rather than closely imitating real meat, I can still feel the food is all plant-based, which doesn't bother me. The beef was chewy but tasted a bit like mushrooms. For the 1000-layer potato, I didn't like the faux cream, but liked that the faux caviar wasn't fishy, and the potatoes were crispy. read more

We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday and the overall experience was amazing! Most specifically regarding the food and the service. However, they're only getting 4 stars from me due to the horribly uncomfortable layout this restaurant has, which I'll review at the end. However, it's important to note that when you arrive, you'll find the host stand in the MIDDLE of the restaurant, towards the end of the bar. It's in such an awkward spot. We had to wait about 10 minutes for our table (despite having a reservation) and there was no where to stand where we weren't in the way. We were either blocking the bar, blocking the entrance to the kitchen or blocking the walkway for people to get by. It was soooo awkward and weird. Not the best place to put a host stand... We're vegetarian, this 100% vegan sushi restaurant is perfect for us as we know we can order anything from the menu and be "safe". We started our meal with the 1000 Layer Crispy Potatoes (recommended by our server) and they were delicious! The perfect amount of sauce combined with the crispness of the potatoes made for a beautiful start to our celebratory meal. Next we indulged in the Red Dragon Roll and the Volcano Roll. Both of which were equally impressive in texture and flavor, we had a hard time deciding which was our favorite between the two. Still hungry after sharing these three menu items, we decided to order the Kimchi Baos. I was a bit skeptical because I'm not a fan of kimchi, however I was surprised at how much I enjoyed them! I really couldn't tell that they had kimchi on them, however they did have a unique flavor that makes them worth ordering again. Additionally, I loved the combination of the crispy fried mushrooms and the soft texture of the bao bun. Lastly, our server surprised us with a Sticky Toffee Pudding on the house to celebrate my husband's birthday! That was so nice and it was actually pretty tasty considering that it wasn't made with eggs. I typically don't enjoy Vegan desserts, but I'd say this one was an exception. Okay, now to the issue with the floor plan here.... The tables are CRAMPED everywhere in this place and they are arranged in such an awkward manner. Where we were seated was definitely one of the worst spots in the entire restaurant. Our tiny little two-top table was on the end near the area with the coat racks....and was next to a table that had someone in a chair sitting in the aisle. To help you get a better idea of the issue: the person in the chair took up half the aisle, meaning every time an employee or guest walked by (which was OFTEN) they had to awkwardly squeeze by and try not to knock into us while doing so. It was so annoying. What's worse, they have these horribly awkward setups with the tables in the middle of the restaurant where there's a little half wall thing in between us and the table next to us....but it was merely inches higher than the table itself. This meant that we were basically sharing a table with the people sitting next to us. Again, this was awkward and uncomfortable because the table next to us had 3 women and a baby who were not only incredibly loud, but they were letting the baby throw food all over the place. Had the floor plan not been so terribly arranged, this would've been a 5-star experience. Instead, we spent the evening trying to ignore the chaos around us. Note to the owners: figure out a new floor plan that is COMFORTABLE for the people eating here. Yes, your current layout is "cool" and has a nice vibe, however it's not functional in a way that is relaxing for your guests. read more

Highlight of our trip to NY! Just one word-- spectacular! This restaurant was very close to our hotel; given how frequently this came up in our searches, we ended up making an excellent decision. We got the mint lemonade and What are you waiting for, and for starters it was the 1000 layer crispy potato with caviar and bang bang broccoli. Vegan caviar was Wow. Wasn't too sure about the coconut foam as the nuttiness was overpowering the flavors. Bang Bang Broccoli was superb. The Red Dragon Roll sushi with carrot salmon and spicy miso was excellent-- just too good! The truffle fried rice was mind blowing. It had the right flavors.,The Dan Dan noodles were not as spectacular as all the other items but still good. 100/100 for the variety of items on the menu. Service was also a 100/100. Our waitress was really sweet. Service was very quick! Highly recommend for anyone looking for one of a kind vegan food! read more

Came here for all you can eat (Maki Mondays) and had a great time! We had requested a table on the first floor, but weren't able to get it even though we waited and had placed this request in advance as this was for a birthday, but the downstairs seating is still nice. They did tell us we could only have the table for an hour and a half though the service was quite slow and it didn't seem they enforced the time restriction as a result. Overall, we had a great time and the crispy rice and torched and pressed are the best!! read more

Wish I liked this place a little bit more, but for the price and quality, I don't think it was worth it and don't plan to return. I ordered online and the person at the front desk didn't really seem super happy to be there - he just gave me the bag without saying anything. When I got to my hotel room and opened the bag, I saw no napkins, and the food really didn't look like the photos on the website or on Yelp. I got the bang bang broccoli. Sauce came on the side which was nice to prevent sogginess but the broccoli pieces were overly fried and a bit too crunchy. The red dragon roll looked super sad and didn't look or taste as advertised. read more

I was honestly a skeptic about vegan sushi, but I'm a convert now. A friend recommended this place and the 'crab' in particular is actually wild--it's eerily close to the real thing. I got the Volcano Roll to go; it didn't look like much in the container, but the flavor was definitely there. The inside of the restaurant is really nice too--very dark and romantic. Highly recommend if you're looking for a new spot. read more

PLANTA Queen Nomad - Volcano Roll - Vegetarian Near Me - New York, New York

I'm not vegan or a vegetarian, but every so often I'm encouraged by family to try a vegan restaurant. I admit there are impressive and creative recipes in the vegan world, and this restaurant offers really tasty vegan sushi and other items. Of the things we tried here: Torched and Pressed, Bang Bang Broccoli, Firecracker Wings, Red Dragon Roll, and Hawaiian Crunch - we enjoyed all of them. (Unfortunately, they were out of Spicy Tina Roll.). I will note that the Red Dragon was pretty heavy on the vegan spicy mayo, at the expense of the other flavors. When we ordered, the server told us that the items would come to the table as they were made ready by the kitchen. That was a good reminder, because things did come out at different times, which was fine. The server filled our water glasses a couple of times without us having to ask and he was very patient as we lingered after finishing our meal, even filling our glasses one more time after we had paid the bill. The restaurant is modern and nice inside, but not pretentious. read more

I went to PLANTA for my 21st birthday on 02/17/24, and it is by far my favorite vegan restaurant in New York City. Everything from the atmosphere to the food felt special, and it was such a memorable way to celebrate. The absolute standout for me was the vegan matcha cheesecake, it was genuinely incredible. I'm allergic to dairy, so finding desserts like this can be tough, and this one completely exceeded expectations. Even my sister, who isn't dairy-free, said it was the best cheesecake she's ever had, vegan or not. As someone with a dairy allergy, PLANTA was such a convenient and reassuring find. The menu is thoughtful, the food is flavorful, and you never feel like you're missing out. The servers there were also very charming and super inviting. They also helped out a lot since I'm pretty indecisive sometimes. Huge thank you to my sister and my cousin for taking me here and making my birthday so special, I can't wait to come back next time I'm in New York! read more

Perfect. Phenomenal food. Excellent service. I'd go back 5 nights in a row. Go there!!

Flight just landed and 2 starving vegans happened upon Planta. Thank gowd! Spicy tuna (watermelon) roll, general d's cauliflower, curry lentils and beans, and dan dan noodles. Every bite was like a hug. Wondering how many meals at Planta I can fit into this trip! read more

The bang bang broccoli was one of the best vegetables I've ever had! We ordered a second round. I like the truffle cream udon but did find the flavor a bit underwhelming, but the crispy chicken cutlet as an add on was good! Very spacious and beautifully decorated restaurant. Now, the service is why I'm only giving it three stars. We show up to our reservation and they asked if we thought we could be out by a certain time? Since when are we enforcing time limits on customers, especially those with reservations? And while the waiter was nice enough, they didn't return to check in on us that often. We had to flag down others for help. Also all I ordered to drink was a Coke and it took forever to come. For all of these reasons I'm not exactly in a rush to go back but I'm willing to try out their other locations. read more

I ordered the to go sushi box. Loved the presentation. Box came with chopsticks and all the sauces. It didn't seem like alot for the price but once I received the box, it was actually alot of food. I couldn't finish it in one sitting. My favorite for the watermelon nigiri. Second favorite was the torched and pressed. The crispy rice was good but would have been better if warm in person at the restaurant. The spicy tuna roll, I could have done without. Would order again but skip the spicy tuna roll. read more

PLANTA Queen Nomad - Vegetarian Near Me - New York, New York

If you're looking for a nice spot for Vegan dining, this can fit the bill! We ordered some apps: the "wings" (cauliflower), broccoli, and gyoza. The gyoza pieces are small and don't have much filling. The fried broccoli and sauce were good, but I felt the bang bang broccoli had too much sauce. I ordered the truffle udon. The coconut flavor was strong and the sauce was a bit watery. (I'm guessing they used coconut milk as a substitute for cream). It was udon + 5 pieces of mushrooms. I wouldn't order again. We ate as a party of 7. Unfortunately it was 20 minutes in between the time the first 4 entrees were served at once until the last entree. They seemed to have forgotten one of our orders. Considering we were one of 5 parties in the restaurant on that Friday afternoon, I was disappointed in the service. read more

Best vegan sushi. Such a good dragon roll. Such cool ideas and concepts. Allergy friendly

My date, who is vegetarian, and I stopped here for our first dinner in NYC this summer. Made reservations and were seated promptly upon arrival. The menu is an intriguing concept with some big hits and a few misses. I particularly enjoyed the Firecracker Roll and General D's Cauliflower. Sometimes it's a little unclear what the food is actually made from, so you may have to follow up with your server if you have any allergies. You'll want to try a few items on the menu, but be careful because the cost can add up on you pretty quickly. I certainly wouldn't mind trying Planta again. read more

I had a great experience at Planta. I just went in by myself for a little solo lunch, and it was a great choice. Beautiful interiors and vibe, the service was great the team had a great flow.

PLANTA Queen Nomad is a vegan restaurant and we were in the mood to eat light before a late dinner. The restaurant is nice with black and white tile floors. Unlike most restaurant, the hostess counter is half way inside the restaurant, past the bar, past 5 small tables. There were about 10 additional tables deeper inside the restaurant. They prefer reservations but the hostess was able to find us a table. She helped us "book a table" and within 2 minutes, we were seated. The table was so small across the bar, so was probably intended for quick drink (as an alternative from sitting at the bar). If I would had known than I would had opted for another restaurant down the street. The restaurant is cute place, lighting was very dim (like some energy saving half-light) for atmospheric reasons which I didn't mind but can be difficult to read the menu. Two of our party were not vegan and couldn't tell that they were having plant based meat!! We also got the al pastor bowl which had a very large serving size and was very tasty! I got the spring rolls and the spicy tuna hand roll and both were good, the presentation was nice but the serving size was small for the price. read more

It was not great.. currently still at the restaurant at 10 minutes to 11 pm. Our reservation was for 8:30, we arrived 10 minutes prior and it was a SEA of people. We were informed that there was a 20 minute delay and we were sat at 9:24... so I mean.. granted, I do give them grace because it was for Valentine's Day, but I just feel maybe they shouldn't have booked many covers for the night. My partner wanted to leave but there would've been a $25.00 cancellation per person. Anyway , the staff were nice !! Let me be clear they were darling, We finally sat down and our server informed us about our pri fix for the night- and we were told the udon ' noodle' ran out. That they only had ramen but it was still going to be creamy. I got it anyway. The food was honestly... very mid. I'm a bit embarrassed to write out this review as it's my first sort of sub par but, it really wasn't that good and it was disappointing. My partners drink was very watered down for a dirty martini, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this but all of our courses were EXTREMELY bland with the exception of the cucumber caviar thing and the little potato cubes amouse bouse in the beginning. Apologies for the misspelling of my words but like I said we're still at the restaurant and still are waiting on desserts. My date and I had another reservation down town for a wine bar and we missed it due to still being here. The main courses were so so bland, my partner did not eat the lentils due to the lack of seasoning and I couldn't finish the noodles as they tasted like.. basic butter noodles. Aya I don't know. Just needed to let anyone know to be wary if trying to book around a holiday. We were looking forward to this as my partner made reservations ONE MONTH before and this was our experience. The place is beautiful but wow an extremely overwhelmingly underwhelming experience. It's now 11:02 and we finally got our dessert. QUICK EDIT: the raspberry cheesecake is to die for! read more

I wouldn't recommend this location to anyone, only the Williamsburg location. I would give the service 0 stars if I could. Our table went 15 minutes at a time without anyone checking in, and the staff came across as cold and unfriendly, which is a stark contrast to the experience I've had in Williamsburg and at other locations. I won't be returning to Planta Queen unless they change their floor team. It's a pricey restaurant, and the service should reflect that. read more

This place was amazing! The ambiance was nice, the food was great and, by Manhattan standards, the prices were reasonable. As vegetarians we loved having such a wide variety of unique dishes to choose from. We usually like to try new places but we would definitely come back here and recommen this place to out of town guests. read more

The food here is OK, nothing spectacular. The best dish is probably the Unagi eggplant nigiri, which tasted shockingly close to unagi with the char. I also got the potatoes, which were also just OK. Similar with the udon, they use a coconut base, which is a very pervasive flavor in the dishes and it almost lends itself to a somewhat sweet taste? I thought the noodles were pretty good in the udon, but I just couldn't get past the coconut flavor and every bite as it starts to become too one note after a while. read more

Went in on a weekday expecting a smaller crowd. Luckily we were early enough and got a table without a wait. The place filled up quickly and people were waiting at the bar.

Dare I say this spot is overhyped. I thought the food I hate was just okay. For drinks, I ordered the "Not a Rita" mocktail and it was too tart. I also tried the "Turm it up" juice and that was yummy. For food, we tried a few hand rolls and the bao bun from the happy hour menu. Nothing really stood out to me to particularly want more. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? It is very cute aesthetically-dim lighting, nice decor. Our waiter was decent, no complaints. I'm willing to go again and try something else! read more

A full vegan restaurant with so much variety and amazing dishes. We reserved a table for Monday evening dinner with friends. Our table was ready at scheduled time upon arrival. The has two floors, the big bar is on the first floor, lower floor has a smaller bar and few more dining space, with some wonderful interior. The menu had lots of small plates, sushi rolls, shareable entrees and of lots of drinks. We ordered 10-12 items all together. Most of the dishes were really incredible. Some of the best ones were bang bang broccoli, bao slider, avocado lime tartare, chili garlic tofu, dragon roll and spicy tuna roll. All items came out at a decent pace, we were able to enjoy the dinner for almost 3 hours. The 500ml sake was got enough for 2 rounds of shots for 4 people. I liked the cucumber mint lemonade as well. We ended the dinner with a chocolate brownie and matcha cheesecake, both were decent dessert items. The service was amazing throughout the night. Our server was a pro. He kept checking on the table, took out empty plates, kept filling up water and drinks. Never thought a vegetarian restaurant could be this much creative and popular, was really amazed by the experience. read more
