"Vegan chain Planta arrived in Chicago to deliver an upscale experience with plenty of Japanese, Thai, and Chinese options. The spotlight is on vegan sushi, which eschews fish in favor of vegetables that are manipulated to look like the rolls customers would find in a traditional sushi spot. Not everything looks perfect, but the food — including the dumplings — benefits from the absence of meat because they’re lighter and won’t fill you up. Nevertheless, as in the case of conventional sushi restaurants, the food at Planta is plenty satisfying if you order enough." - Ashok Selvam
