I finally had the opportunity to try Planta Queen in Dupont and it did not disappoint. I'm not a vegan, but I was genuinely impressed by the food, ambience and drinks. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, making it a great spot for dinner. We decided to sample a variety of dishes, and everything was deliciously presented. Drinks: Cherry smoke show and Emperor's old-fashioned. Food: We ordered the bang, bang, broccoli, thousand layer crispy potatoes, beef, and broccoli, spicy tuna roll. Sweet ending: The sticky toffee pudding Moriah, our server was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience. Definitely a good time. read more

Meh. Was fine. Surprisingly few vegetables in the noodle dishes. The broccoli appetizer was very crispy but drowning in peanut sauce. Food came out super fast. We got our appetizer and hadn't even finished it when our entrees came out. Our drinks from the bar (that we ordered first) came out after that. Overall the food was pretty bland. Vegan doesn't have to be boring. Our server was lovely. read more

I came back to attend a birthday dinner and it definitely redeemed itself from a couple years ago where they didn't have any other other things that I wanted to eat so then I picked something that I ended up not really liking. This time was a little different. I had the red dragon roll and I couldn't quite tell it's vegan and not actual dragon roll of some sort. And then I also tried the thousand layer potatoes, which was nice, but I don't know if I liked it that much. And I got the Unagi eggplant which was really really good. I also really like eggplant at baseline. Other people got the sprig and run drink (it's under free spirits and it's a mocktail) and they loved it. Two of my friends got the udon and mushroom - they loved it (clean bowls). So I enjoyed it but only for special occasions. It's not very affordable to come to Planta regularly you see (or maybe I just need to have a better paying gig hahah) ... a roll and a nigiri plate came out to be over $30 ... which is somewhat typical in the expensive city of DC. In the end, we all concluded Planta Bethesda has more options whereas this one is more Asian fusion type of food (which I love). But I'm still dreaming of that miso salmon tofu from Planta Bethesda (now a year later? Also higher end prices for me and can't afford to go too often). They do only have two bathroom individual stalls and for some reason it took a while for my friends to use the restroom (she said one person was trying on outfits in there?!) and it can get a little messy in there with the trash bin, but it probably isn't consistently so... read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Wow, I'm not a vegan, but I was BLOWN away by the food here. I thought I'd still feel hungry after eating here because of the lack of meat, but I felt I didn't even miss the meat at all. The food here were very creative, filling, and flavorful. The four of us tried the following: - Kimchi baos - the fried mushrooms were seriously incredible. I can't believe this is vegan, as the texture of the mushrooms was quite like crispy fried chicken. I was really impressed by the crispy rich texture as well as the flavors. - Crispy gyoza - good flavors, but honestly...I don't think anything can beat pork gyoza, which will always be my favorite type of gyozas :) - 1,000 layer crispy potatoes - very interesting dish. I enjoyed the caviar, but otherwise, it's just potatoes, so personally, I wouldn't get this again myself. - Dragon roll - the tempura broccoli was amazinggggg and perfectly crispy. - Torched & pressed - oh my! My favorite here so far! Sooooo flavorful. I never had truffle in sushi before, and now I'm HOOKED. I love sushi, and I love truffle, so this is double the love already. - Japanese salad - quite light with fresh ingredients. It could use a bit more flavor though, like a sweet-spicy sauce. - Dan dan noodles - while all the other dishes were great, this one was disappointing... The dish was thick and filling but pretty bland in flavor. I found the Szechuan kamut wheat to be a really unique aspect of this dish, replacing the texture of traditional minced pork, but it didn't hit the spot for me. There was no Sichuan peppercorns or peanuts, which, in my opinion, really *make* the dan dan noodles. I hope the restaurant will consider adding Sichuan peppercorns and peanuts for the future... - Big chocolate chunk with vanilla ice cream - delicious. While I can taste the difference in the texture of the ice cream (this vegan ice cream is denser and less "fluffy" than regular ice cream), it still tastes as delicious and sweet as any regular ice cream. read more

After a long day @ DC's World Pride Parade, I knew I needed sustenance, something to wrap the day up with a warm tummy smile. So, I picked Planta Queen! Something told me to go a little bit on the adventure side, so I tried two hand rolls to start - the Spicy Tuna Hand Roll (wild card) and the Crispy Mushroom Hand Roll (tried & true w/ the taste expectancy). As a wild card, it definitely got wild! The "tuna" resembled the real thing in look but of course not taste. Get ready for a dried watermelon fruit texture, but let it be complimented by seaweed, and ginger. Let the Crispy Mushroom do its thing (as it should), and be delighted by the batter! Next up was the General D's Cauliflower. The sauce was on point, but I'm wondering if the light batter could have gotten a tad soggy from the sauce? Either way, I cleaned the plate! The most refreshing part of the evening was the Cucumber Mule, garnished and shaken with mint and house tequila. It cleansed my palate and really calmed down my taste journey for the evening. All in all, a great night! Service was polite, multiple people waited on us, and the bar ambiance was well decorated. Shout out to the bartender! read more

I'm not vegan but I came here with some friends recently and we all loved it! We lucked out that we arrived for their 8:30 to close happy hour which meant $9 sushi and other discounted food/drinks. The things that really stood out were the bang bang cauliflower and the matcha cheesecake. Definitely leave room for the matcha cheesecake if you go! We couldn't stop talking about it. We were there to celebrate our friend's birthday and they were very nice and also gave us a complimentary sticky toffee pudding. Overall, the food was great and would definitely come back again! read more

Thank you Planta for squeezing in a table of 9 on short notice! Service was awesome :) I have heard about Planta and have had it on my list for a really long time. I was excited to go for a friends' birthday. There were a lot of options on the menu and we got a great range of food. I was a bit disappointed with the food though. Nothing was very flavorful. Even the sushi seemed regular. Nothing felt very creative and so I wasn't wowed by the food at all. read more

They had a fun prix fixe for New Year's Eve. It was plenty of food and having options was nice. The sushi wasn't their strong suit, but the other starters and entrees were quite good. The service was a bit off, I guess they're not used to being packed for a prix fixe meal. The entrees came, separately, well before the sushi, which was supposed to come first. The drinks came irregularly. Our primary server, Joey, was great--friendly, helpful, and didn't seem stressed. None of the strange service timing was Joey, were had maybe five or six different people bringing things at odd times throughout the meal. But towards the end of our meal, a supervisor, Malik, came over and basically pushed us out the door, and it was all very awkward and an unfortunate way to end what had been a good meal. Our dessert course had come well before we'd made a dent in the entrees, and the vegan ice cream proceeded to not melt but sort of disintegrate in front of us. They have two bathrooms for the whole big restaurant, so that's also not great. read more

Fabulous. Was in town on business and was looking for a vegan restaurant. When I realized there is a Planta in DC that made the choice easy. Been to the NYC Planta and this measured up in every way. Thank you Planta! read more

Planta is a franchise with a mission to reimagine plant-based dining, centering on seasonal, locally‑sourced produce, eco-friendly practices. Planta Queen DC is an offshoot of the brand focused on Japanese-inspired fare (think sushi, dumplings, noodles, bao, etc.) with a plethora of creative vegan dishes and luxe vibes. I made a reservation for one on a Friday night for 6:30pm, and was immediately led to my table, where the restaurant was about half-full. This Planta location is tucked into the ritzy neighborhood of DC's West End at 1200 New Hampshire Ave NW, Planta Queen has a polished, modern street-level entrance with large floor-to-ceiling windows that hint at the stylish interior. The façade feels refined but welcoming: no neon splashes, just modern signage tucked under stark black tinted windows. Step inside, and you're greeted by an Asian-inspired, with a stunning 8-foot neon dragon light hanging on the main dining wall, complemented by Chinese dragon-themed wallpaper and fun floral motifs. The interior is bathed in a warm, ambient glow, complete with gold accents and shimmering mosaic tiles, and there's ample seating at plush booths, a cozy lounge area, and an elegant bar decked out with greenery and artfully lit bottles. The menu is extensive, with plenty of plant-based options. There's appetizers, sushi, salads, entrees, and more, and many items are customizable. Some of the most famous, Instagram-worthy dishes seem to be the 1,000 Layer Crispy Potatoes, Bang Bang Broccoli, and Udon Noodles with Truffle Mushroom Cream, so I'll have to return to try those! My server was more than happy to give recommendations, though I had a promotion from the inKind app for $30 off $30, so I opted for the Japanese Steak ($33) with sweet potato, furikake, and truffle mushroom cream. This was truly one of the most unique dishes that I've ever sampled, and well worth the relatively high price tag, in my opinion. The restaurant uses Chunk Steak, a relatively new product that boasts a "proprietary fermentation technology" that delivers the texture, color, and taste of traditional meat (think of a real steak!). There's a certain pull-apart stringy tenderness that truly mimics a filet mignon, and it's a generous portion of at least 8-10oz. It's topped with a bright, acidic chimichurri, and there was a stir-fried cabbage underneath that I found quite pleasant, if a bit oily. The sweet potatoes on the side were nothing special (I would have preferred Japanese sweet potatoes as opposed to regular American ones), but dusted with a bit of red pepper flakes to add a unique heat. In summary, I highly enjoyed my experience at Planta Queen: this goes to show us that gone are the days where a vegan entree simply means leaving out the protein in a dish, or frying up a piece of Beyond/Impossible Meat. Planta Queen has an innovative, flavorful menu of unique, filling items with an Asian flair, and while the prices may be high for non-meat dishes, there are often promotions that you can find on inKind or the Planta Passport app. Additionally, their stellar service, luxurious vibe (in a nice part of DC, no less), and novelty factor of the food justifies the high price tag, and I'll certainly be back to sample some of their other dishes! read more

Our 2nd visit to Planta Queen (despite being dedicated meat eaters) was both a hit and a big old fat MISS at the same time. For the hit: the food at this restaurant is very good! To be very honest, I do not miss meat on the menu at all. Full stop! The food is tasty, interesting and filling. The flavors are full ranged and satisfying. To be fair, I - and the other 3 people who were with me - decided that the appetizers and rolls were better than the dishes that were meant to be main courses. In particular, we loved, loved, LOVED the Bang Bang Broccoli, the Red Dragon Rolls and the Fire Cracker Rolls! Our other main dishes were good, don't get me wrong, but we all agreed that the appetizers were the stars of this show. Next time we go to Planta Queen - and there WILL be another time - we will get a compliment of appetizers and rolls. I am quite certain that we will be happier that way! Now on to the big old fat MISS of our evening. The server was horrible (and I use that word specifically because the customer service was, in fact, horrible). From the very moment the server approached our table, bad attitude and snarkiness were evident. The server, Cris, did not listen to us, did not answer our direct questions, rolled his eyes when we asked for forks, walked away in the middle of asking questions, did not help with explanations about the food, was dismissive, spent as little time with us as possible and was basically just bad, bad, bad. Cris did not care at all about serving us. At first, we thought Cris's attitude was somehow his way of being funny, maybe sarcasm or a dry sense of humor. But, as the service continued to deteriorate, all 4 of us reached the conclusion that Cris was simply a bad server. At the end of dinner, Cris stacked up all the dirty plates & utensils right in front of me and walked off. No thank you, no have a nice night, no nothing! And, when Cris brought the handheld credit card machine for payment, there were again no niceties or thanks PLUS he stared at the screen as we entered the tip to see what it was. Seriously, Cris was the worst server I have ever experienced. Cris needs a new career choice. I will probably go back to Planta Queen. Probably. Because the Bang Bang Broccoli is so damn good. But I will only do so with a lump in my throat and I will make damn sure that Cris never waits on me again. read more

I came here after attending an event nearby that did not have good food. I knew Planta would save the day!

Been wanting to check this place out for some time and finally went this last week. This place has great vegan options for vegans and meat eaters alcohol drinkers and mocktail fans alike. The place is absolutely beautiful, the decor and layout of the restaurant is gorgeous. The service was magnificent!! We loved our server!! She was attentive and gave great and honest suggestions, the manager was involved and cared about service. Lastly, but most importantly, the food! Absolutely was really good. We tried the BANG BANG BROCCOLI, KOREAN CHICK'N BAO, and FIRECRACKER MAKI ROLL for mains and the BANANA PUDDING for dessert. For drinks we tried the PINK DRAGON and the CUCUMBER MINT LEMONADE! The broccoli was recommended by our waitress Rebecca, it so bomb we ordered another one to go!! The broccoli itself was pretty good but the peanut and chili sauce really took it up several notches. BAO bun was pretty good and soft! The maki roll (not pictured) wasn't my favorite but overall not bad. We were too full and needed up having the banana pudding the next day and I was shocked to see it was bread pudding not pudding pudding. Overall it was pretty good. Too strong of a banana flavor for my liking. The drinks were great!! The pink dragon is alcoholic although it wasn't very strong. The cucumber mint lemonade was sooo delicious and refreshing absolutely loved it. read more

I recently went back to Planta Queen after a couple of years not going with three friends and had an extremely disappointing experience. While we were seated on time, the rest of our service was underwhelming, both from the kitchen and our server. Our food took a long time to come out; once the food did come out, my Singapore Noodles came with tofu; an order mix-up, as one of my friends got a side-order of tofu and the Singapore Noodles don't normally come with tofu. Additionally, another friend had clearly requested a poke bowl with no avocado, and the bowl came with avocado. We all shared the gyoza, which were fine. I split the Singapore Noodles and the Poke Bowl with a friend. The Singapore Noodles were disappointing this time, as they were thinner and had less flavor. The poke bowl was solid, if unremarkable. We all split the chocolate chip cookie and the toffee pudding for dessert, both of which were terrible. They tasted like grit and sand with minimal flavor. It may have been an off-night for Planta Queen, but I hope that they can get back to the quality level from when they first opened. From September 2023: A solid, if a bit overpriced, restaurant that happens to be vegan. I recently went with a few friends and were seated immediately at our reservation time. Our server was outstanding, and other than one person's dish being brought out a few minutes after everyone else's, we received good service. The restaurant ambiance is an undistinctive but upscale white-cloth table-vibe. My friends and I split the sweet corn dumplings, which were delicious. They had great flavor, crunch, texture, and the right filling-to-dumpling ratio. The dumplings were perfectly steamed with a great consistency. I ordered the Singapore Noodles, which were fantastic. Although expensive ($22), I got a good portion size and the dish had plenty of vegetables and good spice. Planta Queen is a great addition to the DC food scene and I would especially recommend for vegans, vegetarians, and individuals with other restrictive diets. read more

We came here twice. The first was just for a normal dinner where we got their beef ans broccoli and the other was the unlimited sushi on Mondays (6-830). Everything is a but expensive but they have some stuff that is worth it. Thebeed and broccoli was super flavorful and was well cooked. Usually people overcook their brocoli but this was done just right and seemed like it was marinated for a long time. The Sushi was 30 per person for unlimited and we were fully expecting to go through a tone but we filled up really quickly. We had one of everything between the two of us and our favorite was the tuna (the dehydrated watermelon) which had a great texture and rich flavor. The others were decent but pretty similar to each other with not quite as much texture. The bar staff, who was our server, was great. She was super friendly, quick and took care of everything for us. We eneded up working at the bar and it was pretty seamless. The internet is great and there are plenty of outlets there. The atmosphere is sleek with nice lighting, plants, plenty of windows, and art that wraps it together well. If you use their app you can get some coupons too which cut the price down a bit too. Overall a good vegiterian spot for anyone in dc. read more

After a late flight, my coworkers and I stopped by PLANTA, which is conveniently located. Unfortunately, it took multiple attempts to get a server's attention, so when we finally did, we placed a large order all at once. In case it's not clear from previous reviews, this is a fully plant-based restaurant--here, "salmon" is actually carrots, and "chicken" might be cauliflower. While I appreciate tofu, I was impressed by their creative approach to using different ingredients. However, the execution fell flat. The bao was my favorite dish, but that was mostly due to the soft, pillowy bun. Overall, the food was overly fried or oily, and the flavors felt one-note. On the plus side, they're open late, and getting a table is easy. read more
