incredible vegan food! i came here for dinner on my first night in nyc as i had heard so many positive things about this place. the ambience of the restaurant is amazing and it is great to see a fully vegan restaurant be so full. we ordered the bang bang broccoli, gyoza, spicy ahi tuna roll, and the crab roll. the ahi tuna was a standout - they make the tuna with watermelon and it is so delicious! the service was very attentive and we felt very well looked after. i dined with someone who wasn't vegan and they were also very impressed with the food. i will definitely be returning next time i am in nyc!

Great place with good ambience and service. The food is great too. I’ve tried their brunch and sushi varieties and appetizers. Loved their bang bang broccoli and sweet potato/tater tot appetizer. In the sushi really enjoyed their volcano and red dragon roll

I went here with my ex to reconnect. Jose was an amazing enthusastic server and made it feel normal. He curated an experience thst felt otherworldly. Jose even asked our allergies to look out for us. The food was superb. The acoustic could have been better - overheard too much. The bottomline is that I enjoyed myself and plan to come back.

A large group of us went to Planta Queen Nomad for lunch today! This place is amazing. These are food scientists/chefs/magicians. I don't know how they did it but they made caviar and it was fabulous because it wasn't actually fish eggs 😂😂😂 the food is like artwork and we enjoyed that it came out in stages because we were stuffed already just after the appetizers lol. The desert was totally on point as well and the coffee and all the drinks we had were delicious! I love supporting fully plant-based restaurants, way to go New York City!!!

As a Non-vegan...lol....I had a great experience. Our server, Dan, was the greatest. He was patient and answered all our questions and made spot-on suggestions. The cauliflower "wings" were delicious. Good drinks....the place is gorgeous, hosting families and lovers. I will definitely be returning

Decided to try this place because the menu looked so good, and as a non vegan I can say the food was very tasty. I’m impressed how the combination of the food and flavors worked well together. The only con was that the service was a little slow and we had to wave down our waiter a couple times. Otherwise, everything was great.

Grabbed dinner with a couple friends last week at Planta Queen. Wanted a place with plenty of vegetarian-friendly options. We enjoyed the meal and had a big selection of the share plates. The table next to us had a beautiful spread of sushi rolls, so we ordered a couple as well. Volcano roll was disappointing, but overall the meal was really fun and creative. We enjoyed the bao buns, bang bang broccoli, and tater tots. Staff was friendly and efficient. Lettuce wraps were recommended, and flavor was peppery with a great cook on the ingredients! I think the lettuce wrap though would have needed a few condiments to pull it together. Highly recommend this place for lots of great vegan and vegetarian options!

Great restaurant. Fully vegan. I got the firecracker roll, the 1000 layer potato and the ahi watermelon. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the potato. The roll was so good. It’s just insane cramped inside. Gotta be careful to not knock anyone’s table over when maneuvering

A good spot for vegan sushi in NYC, especially if you want to lean towards less processed fish alternatives and more fruit/vegetable swap-ins. The host staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had luggage with us as this was our last stop before the airport, and they were able to set it aside in a separate area for us and accommodate our booking earlier than the original time. Food-wise we went for: -Unagi Eggplant Nigiri -Bang Bang Broccoli -Spicy Tuna Maki Roll -Volcano Maki Roll -Banana Pudding All of them were tasty, although we found the portions to be a little small for the prices paid. The wait staff seemed a bit stretched – the restaurant staff refill your glass if you opt for tap water rather than provide you with your own filled bottle to pour yourself, and we found ourselves waiting for long periods between emptying the glass and receiving a refill. There were also much longer periods than we had gotten used to in NYC between finishing and being able to request dessert or the bill, and when I requested a paper receipt this appeared to have been forgotten and I had to make a second request for it to be fulfilled. The wait staff were clearly very friendly and knowledgeable, so I imagine they may have had fewer staff than usual for the demand at that time and as such were a bit run off their feet and unable to visit tables as much as they would like. Still, we can only review the experience we had, not one we imagine you would have – for all we know this could be a regular occurrence. All in all, our visit was still a positive experience and we would recommend it if you're craving sushi but want to err on the side of a less processed meal.

We had a quick lunch. The food was great, flavorful and quick served (although we were dining at low traffic hours). We took everything our serving recommended and it all was great picks. The broccoli and fried rice were recommended and were good.

Everything was great overall and it honestly didn’t even feel like a vegan restaurant. Our favorite dish was the bang bang cauliflower. The kimchi bao bun was good, but it didn’t really taste like kimchi and lacked any Korean flavor. The dragon roll wasn’t our favorite, while the sweet potato sushi was surprisingly delicious and tasted very similar to regular sushi rolls. The watermelon sushi was interesting, but the slices were too thin and it would’ve been better without the ginger on top and with a thicker piece of watermelon. The truffle mushroom udon was okay, and the service was excellent. Overall, we enjoyed the food and the experience.

We arrived here on the time for our reservation , the receptionist kept asking us to stand near the bar area even when we saw so many tables empty. We checked on her twice and both the times she asked us to stand near the bar, and it felt like she doesn't like us and wants us to leave. When we asked her if there is anything wrong she then started saying that the table is not ready and thus wants us to stand there and kept saying sorry every time. It just felt very absurd to us; if that was the case, she could've politely mentioned the same. She didn't have to say anything else, we could've waited quietly near the bar or entrance area. After seating our server who served us was really nice to talk to and spoke with us really well. We tried their bang bang broccoli and it was heavenly. We also ordered their 1000 layer potatoes but we felt something was missing and was probably a little too hyped. We also tried their Dan dan noodles with tofu, the tofu was sooooo tasty and soft but the noodles lacked that punch, after adding soy sauce it tasted good , but just wished the noodles came in all tasty already. We were full but wanted to try their matcha cheesecake after reading all the reviews, and I am really happy we tried it coz I am amazed with how delicious any vegan dessert can taste. It came with cherry compote, this compote could have cut the sweetness but being tangy but it was also sweet. If they just make this compote a little less sweet then this dish with be perfect 10/10. All in all nice place leaving just the receptionist experience. We will certainly come back here to try other dishes, hopefully our experience at the reception would be nice next time🤞

Have been here many times and felt the time had come for a cumulative review. The all vegan menu is great for vegans and vegetarians but as neither of those it took a few visits for me to explore the full menu and come up with a comprehensive review for the non veg diner. The vegans will absolutely love this place as it easily ranks in the top decile of vegan offerings. Inventive flavorful dishes which don’t insult those who have always been vegan or vegetarian. For the non veg visiting the faux meat in the form of various incarnations mimic the texture and flavor of what we love most in Asian food without making us think we’re settling. The “beef” and broccoli the spicy “tuna” the dan dan noodles have consistently been my favorite dishes offering everything their fully non veg versions provide. For those that have always been vegetarian I can attest to the fact that if you’ve had the watermelon tuna you are getting a very good reproduction of real tuna. I prefer the sushi offerings to the rest of the menu because I really can’t tell it’s vegan in most cases. The Dan Dan noodles are fantastic and though the wheat berries don’t taste like pork I actually quite like them as a substitute. The seitan beef in the beef and broccoli is great in texture and flavor. I thought the dumplings needed more umami in the filling and the generals cauliflower underwhelmed but frankly that’s because any dish with the word generals in it has a huge amount of anticipation and expectation built into it so it was going to have to be amazing to come close to all the versions I’ve had in chinatowns in Boston, San Francisco and NYC…maybe call it admirals or emperors. Just a thought. Overall though the vegetarians in the group love the options and the all vegan menu and the non veg love it too. The inventive drinks evoked flavors of India and Thailand which we loved. The desserts were great as well especially the matcha cake. The starters and big dishes though are what brings us back and what we crave. We’ve come back more than a dozen times so clearly we are fans and we encourage veg and non veg folks to rush there. As a non veg I would like more experimentation and a couple more dishes. A great beef lo mein, a ground chicken spicy basil, a Thai coconut curry. But then I’ll be coming weekly.

Decent vegan good. Been here a couple times before and it doesn’t disappoint. We got a bunch of items to share. The truffle fried rice was not as flavorful as I remember, unfortunately. But absolutely worth getting the Torched and Pressed, and Bang Bang Broccoli! Can’t go wrong with Singapore noodles either.

Full review: Torched and pressed- by far my favorite 10/10, balanced and super good Spicy tuna- very good, a bit fishy 8.5/10 Bang bang brocolli- amazingly crispy but I didnt like the sauce at all(gingery and I’m not a big ginger fan)- 7/10 Udon- this surpised me. I could smell that it was a coconut based cream sauce immediatly which I usually don’t like but it was actually really nice. There was some random bites which tasted of ginger which didn’t mesh well. 8/10 Korean baos- good texture of fried mushrooms but dont like kimchi much 7/10 The two of us were still hungry after this so ordered more. Portobello nigiri- didn’t like this, bland and subtlety not good 4/10 Spicy crab hand roll- meh 5.5/10 Overall this place was really fun to try a bunch of different flavors/textures. DO NOT sit downstairs after 7. It was insanely dark and I could barely see my food. Made it much less satisfying/enjoyable. Pro is the food comes out super fast. But overall just good, not great. Which for the price it should be.

Not sure what the point of having 1 piece per serving is, but found that a little steep - think it was the hand rolls (not pictured), so keep that in mind! Ordered starters for the most part and was disappointed with the volcano roll - it tasted extremely fishy and as someone who hates seafood, just one bite gave me quite the ick and I did not feel like eating any more of it. I just don’t understand why most vegan fare is curated to mimic seafood/meat? Why can’t it just taste like vegetables lol? A lot of people are vegan by birth or vegan just because they don’t like how meat tastes/smells and this doesn’t help. The edamame dumplings were flavorful thought I wish they had like a mushroom-based option as well. Thai rolls (not pictured) were good, especially the peanut sauce!Loveddd the berry compote on the matcha cheesecake! Service was pretty good though our server came across as a little reserved!

What I’ll say is that the salad was honestly really good. I enjoyed it. BUT (and a big but) the proportion was extremely small for the price point. The container was smaller than my iPhone and it costed me $27.05…….😳😭☠️ The restaurant is very pretty, the staff was very kind, the salad was delicious. But for crying out loud….. please at least give reasonable portions for that price. This is advertised as an entree, not a side. Really not cool. I’m still hungry lol. (The drink was not included btw I just included for size reference but bought at a bodega)
