Very lovely dinner! My partner and I came to celebrate and we were very happy with the food overall. The Dan Dan noodles were delicious, a sweet blend of spicy and savory. The poke bowl is worth everything as it incorporates so many of their original non-meat substitutes, such as mushroom chicken, watermelon salmon and caramelized carrot tuna. The torched and pressed remains the most amazing roll that Planta has, the avocado melts on your tongue and the truffle is smoky. Absolutely delicious. We personally did not like the matcha cheesecake, even thought we’re normally both huge fans of cheesecake. But this felt like biting straight into butter, very little flavor and too much fat. We can’t recommend it. The service was also weirdly cold, we were asking for food recommendations but really felt like we were bothering. We hope for a more professional experience for a future dinner, especially considering the price, but we will come back for the delicious and original dishes.

I love this place. The food is all so delicious (and meat product free)! The staff are friendly and usually even remember me even after only a few visits. I look forward to my next visit. If you're like me and don't like your food drowning in sauces, get them on the side. I don't think they are using more sauce than most places, but I find their food is extremely delicious and flavorful as it is, and only use a tiny touch of the sauces. The staff is always happy to oblige so this isn't a complaint at all, and the sauces are definitely delicious.

Planta queen is one of my favorite places to eat in the DMV. Even if you are not vegan the food is seriously so good. The best part of this place is that the items are a little small so you can get many plates and share them. That said some of the entrees are big enough for a single person. Truthfully I wouldn’t go for a single dish but rather only for many. I got the Singapore noodles and they were good but I would probably rate them a 7/10 as it was little dry for me but the flavor was good. The dan Dan noodles were amazing flavor wise but I’m not going to like the presentation looked very unappetizing. However just mix them up and pull up the noodle and trust the flavor is worth it!! Lastly be sure to try their desserts because they are amazing. For me I love the cheesecake because it has a beautiful smooth flavor. Unlike many vegan options that tend be more sour their cheesecake is more akin to a traditional one. Smooth and a little sweet but not too sweet. If you get the chance be sure to come here!

Went in for quick bite based on other amazing reviews, even tried the highly recommended Dan Dan Noodles - taste wise it was good; but it was way too oily - there was simply inedible amounts of oil in this dish (photos attached below). Portion was filling for one person. I also tried the match strawberry cheesecake - taste wise it was good but the base could have been more softer- but overall the combination of vanilla sorbet, strawberry sauce and cheesecake went well with each other. I was hoping to visit again to try the creamy truffle mushroom udon but I changed my mind after this experience. Again it might have been just my dish on that day but in all honesty it was too much oil; the overall ambiance and environment was good; staff was polite and professional.

I visited PLANTA Queen last night for dinner and overall had a nice experience. The Bang Bang Broccoli was my favorite — perfectly crispy with a delicious sauce that really stood out. The Dragon Roll sushi and 1000 Layered Potatoes were okay, but not something I would personally order again. The Dan Dan noodles were slightly undercooked and a bit too oily for my taste. For dessert, we tried the Sticky Toffee Pudding (recommended by our waitress), and it was lovely — not overly sweet and very enjoyable. The ambience was beautiful, the atmosphere felt lively yet comfortable, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Overall, it’s definitely worth trying at least once!
