Great quality and flavor - Edit
This is one of the few options that are fully plant based and not junk food, bringing creativity to flavors and quality products. Quite pricey for the products used but overall good experience

Best Vegan in Downtown Chicago - Edit
PLANTA Queen is a higher-end Japanese inspired vegan restaurant in the Loop. My sister recommended this spot and I came here to try their lunch special ($28) which includes a starter, main, and a cookie for dessert.
Read moreMy oh my, were my expectations exceeded when it came to the high quality nature of our dining experience and the food.
We tried two of each. For our apps, we had the Spinach Black Bean Dumplings and their Bang Bang Broccoli. OMG, the broccoli was fire! The fiery peanut sauce was fabulous and serving that with tempura broccoli was delicious. We also enjoyed our dumplings but for sure would get the BBB again.
For our mains, we had their Ahi Tua Tartare made from beets as well as their Mushroom Truffle Udon. I enjoyed the marinade in the tartare and it was a nice dish with great texture served with chips. However, the real star were the udon noodles, where the mushroom truffle sauce truly elevated the entire meal. Although a bit on the saltier side, it was delicious and one that I'd order again and again. If only they had extra noodles or rice, because at the end of the day, we really wanted more ways to enjoy the stew.
Not to mention that this restaurant is gorgeous. Perfect for a date night or with friends on a special occasion.
Thanks so much Planta for a phenomenal lunch.
Pros: Excellent lunch set menus

Great - Edit
Went for the first time with my family on Christmas Eve and the food was great. They in particular loved the crispy rice sushi and the bang bang broccoli. Entrees were also amazing. The only reason I would not give it five stars for now was because there seemed to be a fruit fly/gnat issue. We kept getting a couple around our food and once we got rid of a few there would be more. Thought it was just unlucky but there was also a lot while we were near the exit and restrooms. Would definitely visit again and hopefully will have no issues with that the next time!

Best Vegan Food / Christmas Eve Tradition - Edit
Another amazing meal at Planta!! It's become a Christmas Eve tradition now. My favorite is the Dan Dan noodles and Bang Bang broccoli. The toffee pudding was out of this world and I wish I would have gotten two because my fiance gobbled it up despite being stuffed. The atmosphere there is amazing. It's a little on the pricey side but well worth it as I could never make these dishes at home. Highly recommended.

Exceptional! - Edit
If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. We dined here for my birthday dinner and had exceptional service, great food and experience. The atmosphere and vibes were good all around. It was a fine dining experience but casual enough to have Easy E playing on the radio. The food portions are all big enough to share so you can really try so many different items. The staff went above and beyond when it came to customer service, which is really hard to come by these days so that made the whole experience even better. I also should add that they are always pretty busy, reservations are recommended.

Worth the calories - Edit
Rich, mostly Asian fare. Excellent service and atmosphere. The dessert is worth it. This is the kind of restaurant that makes me wish I had a second stomach.
Read moreI rather enjoyed the Visitor N/A beer, and the December holiday dessert. The broccoli is decent but not a must-get.
10/10 will come back again.
Pros: Drink selection, Menu, Atmosphere
Cons: Price

Wow! Excellent menu and fun atmosphere - Edit
We really enjoyed this Tapas style restaurant. your table orders plates to be shared, which makes for a fun communal and conversational atmosphere. We loved the Thai lettuce wraps, Japanese sweet potato, 🍠 and cauliflower. The service was excellent as well. Really enjoyed the whole experience.

Happy with every aspect of the meal! Beautiful setting, helpful staff and delicious food. Most plates are really meant for sharing. So an appetizer and main per person works out about right.

Really no way around a 5/5 here. Incredible textures and flavors on the unique dishes on this menu. You can’t get vegan food like this everywhere! The ambiance was gorgeous making it a perfect place for a more celebratory or fancy meal.

Great vegan sushi! - Edit
I love Planta Queen, so it was a welcome surprise to find one in Chicago. The sushi I had was tasty, though not as well done (less flavorful. Warm sushi was served cold) as in their NY location. The wonton soup was surprisingly bad. However, I really enjoyed their non alcoholic cocktail selection . If you’ve never been to a Planta Queen, it’s worth a stop. Best vegan sushi around, but their execution at this location could be better.
Read moreI would most recommend the torched and pressed, eggplant nigiri, Japanese sweet potato and bao bun.

Amazing vegan food in gorgeous surroundings - Edit
Loved my experience at Planta Queen Chicago.
Read moreI had heard great things about it and was not disappointed!
The staff were all very friendly and talked us through the menu and also told us some of the sushi was half price on the evening we visited (Monday evening) which was a bonus!
I visited with 2 veggies and a meat eaters and they all loved it.
Me and my partner shared the Dragon Rolls, 1000 layer crispy potatoes, bao sliders and potato truffle dumplings - all of it was insanely good!
The portions were huge and even though it’s a bit on the higher priced side, you definitely get great portions, presentation and tastes sensations to justify it!
Lovely decor and lighting. Great place to to take people for a nice evening meal.
Would love to go back next time I’m visiting the States
Pros: The amazing tasting food , Decor, lighting and ambience , All vegan menu

I was underwhelmed by Planta Queen - Edit
Overall the food was good but I was expecting something mind blowing after reading other people's reviews. I'd give Planta Queen 3.5 stars but as Happy Cow doesn't allow half stars I went with 4 stars because Planta Queen is all vegan.
Read moreWe got a take away order of crispy gyoza, bao slider, torched & pressed, and unagi eggplant. I liked the torched & pressed the most out of the dishes we ordered. I didn't care for the bao slider. I wish there were more options on their menu that weren't spicy.
The restaurant had a pretty cool upscale atmosphere and the food was ready when we arrived to pick it up.

Meh - Edit
Took forever to have a server come and take our order and she didn't explain the menu structure well. When we heard a better server giving the lay of the land to the table behind us we had some order regrets. Food comes piping hot and beautifully plated and we did enjoy our dishes but it felt overpriced for what we got and I've had better. One high point was the GM bringing me another dumpling after I spilled water all over the one I had been eating.

Phenomenal food - Edit
Last place we ate at the end of a week long stay in Chicago. Probably the tastiest food we had. Took a while for the mains to come out but the super friendly staff were very apologetic and kept giving us updates so think was unusual. The egg plant miso truffle sushi was incredible as was the udon mushroom truffle noodles.
Read morePros: Tasty food, Super friendly staff , Nice atmosphere
Cons: Slow for mains to come out

More Protein options - Edit
Drink was fantastic and I loved the ambience. But while the food was spectacular, I wish there had been more protein options. Felt like a good place to go for appetizers, but maybe not for a full meal.
