"We like Buckhead Village's Planta Queen much better than the original Planta in Krog because it dials up the flavor—concentrating on dishes from across Asia—and the fun. You’ll drink yuzu-watermelon sake punch out of a cat-shaped glass under neon lights, and eat vegan sushi rolls that are decent spins on the real things. When you're trying to rally the friends who've been avoiding eating with you since you became vegan, suggest Planta Queen and make them order the hearty dan dan noodles with spicy faux-pork grounds." - nina reeder, demarco williams, juli horsford
"Planta's premise feels a bit like a dare: sushi, minus the fish. And they pull it off so well you won't even miss the pescatarian element. The brand's NoMad location feels palatial for New York City, with high-ceilinged dining areas, moody lighting, and good conversation filling both of its floors. The “torched and pressed,” a deceptively simple roll made of avocado glazed with a miso truffle sauce and kissed by a blow torch, is nutty, sweet, and has a mouth-coating richness. If you're craving more than rolls and nigiri, the bang-bang broccoli, Japanese “steak,” and Singapore noodles are sure to leave you satisfied. Within the city, Planta also has two other locations in Williamsburg that serve burgers, pastas, pizzas, and other American comfort classics, all vegan."
"I appreciate Planta Queen for a boozy or booze-free brunch offering bottomless cocktails and Asian-inspired vegan fare such as scallion pancakes, bang bang broccoli, and sesame peanut noodles, plus nonalcoholic options like Vietnamese iced coffee or oat milk matcha." - Sam Nelson
"Opened last spring in the West End, Planta Queen is an Asian-influenced branch of the Planta group, part of the company’s expansion that helps make the DMV the only metro area to host all three Planta brands." - Evan Caplan
"Say hello to the Westside’s best option for a fancy vegan dinner. Planta Cocina's glitzy space is right on the Marina Del Rey boardwalk, and it feels like the West Coast version of the Versace mansion. They serve vegan sushi, pasta, and bar snacks that closely replicate their meat-and-fish counterparts. We especially love the miso-glazed eggplant nigiri, which tastes better than a lot of the sushi we’ve had in LA. If you’re looking for a restaurant to bring that vegan DJ you met on Hinge, book your table on a “Maki Monday” or “Pour Decision Wednesday,” when you can make the most of Planta’s specials like unlimited rolls and half-priced bottles of wine." - Nikko Duren
