    Sushi

    So Planta made some of my favorite drinks. I had a Delicious lychee cocktail and I also had a delicious elderflower drink. The bartenders know what they are doing. There are a number of other drinks I want to try. I had the matcha cheesecake and it was also Delicious! I must go back. The bar area was fun. It's a nice looking spot. This restaurant is all vegetarian. I enjoyed the creativity and variety of food options. However, l need my protein. The sushi was decent. I felt like something in the flavor profile was missing.

    Firecracker Roll & POKE BOWL

    I thought it was impossible to make delicious gluten free AND vegan food. Planta proved me wrong! Many of their offerings are GF and vegan, and everything is delicious. My group shared the Firecracker maki, Chick'n fried mushrooms, poke bowl, and the Singapore noodles. While all the dishes were great, the poke bowl was the stand out, followed by the Firecracker maki. How DO you make the mushroom bacon, Planta?? It's amazing. I look forward to coming back next time I'm in DC!

    TRUFFLE FRIED RICE

    During our visit, we were disappointed by the level of service and overall dining experience, particularly because it was such a stark contrast to the excellent experience my husband and I had at this location just two days earlier and later in the evening . Throughout our meal, we had three different servers, yet there was very little communication regarding who was responsible for our table. One server was inattentive despite there being only a few occupied tables in the dining room. Several items were not entered or delivered correctly, including a side of grilled bok choy and requested spicy mayo that never arrived. Most concerning, I finished my meal nearly 20 minutes before my guest received her Korean Chick'n Sandwich, creating an uncomfortable dining experience. The lack of hospitality continued throughout our visit. We were never offered a dessert menu, after-dinner drinks, or a refresh on our cocktails. We repeatedly had to wave down employees for assistance, including requesting a to-go box, ordering tea, clearing soiled dishes, and ultimately obtaining our check. After the second entrée was delivered, no one checked back on our table. Communication among the staff appeared disorganized. I was asked multiple times whether I wanted iced or hot tea, and a third server eventually approached our table without introducing herself or informing us that she would be taking over service. We later learned that multiple server transitions had occurred due to shift changes, but this was never communicated to us during our meal. While the restaurant was not particularly busy for most of our visit, there were significant delays in food delivery, missing items, and a noticeable lack of attentiveness. The experience fell well below the level of hospitality I have come to expect from Planta, especially having dined at several of your locations in different cities and consistently receiving excellent service. I am sharing this feedback in hopes that management will review the service issues we experienced and provide the necessary coaching and training to improve communication, attentiveness, and overall guest experience. Unfortunately, based on this visit and inconsistency. I would definitely hesitate to recommend this location or bring future guests here. Thank you for taking the time to review my feedback. Sincerely, Mrs Rhone

    TORCHED & PRESSED
    Kyara S.

    Food: 9/10 - Everything I had was amazing. The BANG BANG BROCCOLI was the most favorable dish that impressed me. My father and I really enjoy bang bang broccoli and the sushi (spicy tuna rolls and TORCHED & PRESSED). Service: 8/10 - Waitress was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and gave good recommendations. Ambiance: 10/10 - Has a nice upscale restaurant type vibe. Came on a weekday for a quick bday lunch so it wasn't crowded at all, but I will try to come back for dinner one day to see that experience as well. Parking: 6/10 - there's parking garage on the left side of the restaurant on M st. Took a while to find parking and the garage. Overall: It was my first time coming here and I will most definitely be back. Favorite vegan spot in the city!

    SPICY CRAB HAND ROLL
    Fatu D.

    This was my first vegan dining experience in a high end setting and it did not disappoint! Every time I've been, the staff has been super accommodating. Recently, I went with a group of friends and saw two other friends sitting across from our table. The staff kindly joined the tables together and were attentive the whole night. Let's get to the food! First, the crispy broccoli is a MUST!! I would come back here just for the broccoli. It's fried to perfection and the accompanying sauce adds to it. Their sushi rolls are surprisingly good and you don't even realize you're not eating meat. This time around, I got the spicy crab hand roll and wasn't the hugest fan. Felt a bit oily to me. Friends also got the Dan Dan noodles and the kimchi fried rice. The rice was a 10/10 and the Dan Dan noodles were perfectly seasoned but also tasted a little oily to me. Overall, would definitely add this to my rotation.

    BRISKET KIMCHI FRIED RICE

    So happy that this restaurant exists. The abundance of vegan options never disappoints. Very good deals on holiday prix fixe menus!

    Just went back to planta queen for maki monday- it was incredibly disappointing and terrible service. It took 25 minute for our server to come over to greet us. Didn't even have water for almost half an hour. We finally were able to order and everything came out at once. The manager (I think it was the manager he didn't introduce himself), he sent some items to our table (not enough bao buns for our number of guests in the party). No one explained what any item was when it came to the table and finally, once the maki came out, we had to take soy sauce off the servers station because no one offered it to us. Finally, it took 20 minutes to get the check. I'd save your money and go elsewhere. The service and staff alone make this place mediocre at best.

    CHICK'N FRIED MUSHROOMS
    Jeremy G.

    We came back to PLANTA for a birthday celebration, and it was the perfect mix of fun, flavor, and creativity. Every dish had something memorable about it, and the service made it feel like a real occasion. The Bang Bang Broccoli was an absolute standout -- crispy, saucy, and bursting with flavor. The Dan Dan Noodles with tofu were another hit: creamy, spicy, and deeply satisfying. The Beef & Broccoli was a clever, elevated twist on the traditional version, while the Volcano Roll delivered a delicious blast of flavor (though the rice was a little wet and didn't hold together perfectly). The Chick'n Fried Mushrooms had an amazing texture -- perfectly crisp with that meaty bite -- but could've used a bit more seasoning. Overall, it was a fantastic meal that felt celebratory and fresh. The only thing I'd love to see from PLANTA is a bit more protein-forward options across the menu to round out the experience without having to add the $4-$10 add-ons. Still, it's easily one of the best spots in town for inventive, plant-based dining.

    As a meat eater...this vegan restaurant absolutely blew my mind. Got a few appetizers and sushi rolls as my main entree- absolutely spectacular, delicious, fresh- and tasted like "the real thing!" Although embarrassing, I included a photo of my face/reaction when I was eating my sushi roll because it was that delicious (and it was watermelon as "tuna"). As a gluten free person, this restaurant is also extremely accommodating and easy to eat at. Many of the items can be made GF (with cross contamination as a risk), though they have a celiac menu for reference as well (with no risk of cross contamination). Ambiance is beautiful - service was great. Can't wait to return & get some sushi rolls to go!!!

    Nicole L.

    First time trying a vegan restaurant as someone who rarely eats meals without a meat or fish protein as the focus. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Fun and lively ambience with a cool factor. Cocktails were great. The food was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised about a couple items that I was unsure of. Specifically my favorite dish was the bang bang broccoli. I couldn't stop eating it!

    Came here for their late night happy hour. Service was spotty.. lot of staff standing around chatting, possible because it was near the end of their shift. The value you get for their happy hour menu was decent. Being that we were visiting from Los Angeles, food was just ok. Ordered the Kimchi Bao - to find out there was no kimchi in it, we were not advised until we inquired, as the dish appeared lacking from what the menu described the dish entailed. The fried cauliflower sauce was an absolute sodium salt bomb. Decor of the establishment was very nice.

    Yummmmm We had such a good meal here tonight! The happy hour has great deals, don't miss the eggplant or the mushroom udon. All the drinks were great too, honorable mention to the spirit free margarita.

    JAPANESE SWEET POTATO
    Shailee M.

    Had high expectations from this plant-based restaurant, but overall it was just fine--not great. Tried the Bang Bang Cauliflower, which was a unique dish with a flavorful sauce. The Japanese sweet potato was absolutely delicious and easily the best dish of the night. The Maki sushi was also good, with the salmon-like carrot being an interesting plant-based take. On the downside, the Dan Dan noodles were very bitter and not enjoyable--though to their credit, they didn't charge us for it. The interiors are fancy and upscale, but the restaurant is quite expensive for the overall experience.

    Do they do accommodations for people with nut allergies? Everything I'd want to try contains nuts.

    Yes, they do. Just notify the host/server when you go in or when you make a reservation online.

    Is there outdoor seating?

    Hi Bo, I was there about a month ago and at the time there was no outdoor seating. I'm assuming there isn't any now either just because of their location. They do have ample seating indoors. I'd recommend making a reservation. Hope you enjoy!

The layout is interesting -- there's an upstairs when you walk in, but the sushi bar and a good bit of seating are downstairs. The menu is pretty straightforward with a mix of hand rolls, appetizers, specialty rolls, nigiri/sashimi, and traditional rolls. They also have a few solid combo deals, though I usually prefer trying a variety of items instead. Service was quick, which is always appreciated at a sushi spot. We ordered a few specialty rolls, two traditional rolls, and a couple orders of sashimi, all served together on one platter. The rolls were a great size -- filling without being overly large. The sashimi was fresh, and the traditional rolls really balanced out the meal nicely. The flounder and tuna sashimi were both excellent, and the California roll made with real crab was simple, fresh, and really satisfying. The total came out somewhere in the $70 range, so after tip and splitting it between two people, it was about $40 each to try multiple rolls and sashimi. Definitely fair pricing for the quality and amount of food. This spot had been on my list for a while, so I'm glad I finally made it over. I'd recommend checking out the menu beforehand so you can go in with a game plan and try the items that stand out most to you.

I ordered the 5 set hand roll with Hottie scallop, Kanpachi, Torch me slowly, Spicy salmon and Mango Tango. I loved the flavors of each one but the wrapping was tricky. Some of the rolls wouldn't come off because the wrapping had a lot of moisture so I ended up just eating it deconstructed. I prefer how Kazu Nori gives you each roll one at a time to prevent this. Overall great hand rolls but it's super messy so I'd give it a 3.8/5.
