“ This was an amazing experience! My husband and I met some friends here for brunch to celebrate our anniversary and I was blown away by the food, the service and the atmosphere! As someone who enjoyed traditional sushi before transitioning to a more plant-based diet, I have to say that the textures and flavors were SPOT-ON!!! My husband got the French toast and he said it was amazing. I enjoyed the baked crab rolls and the Singapore noodles along with a kettle of Jasmine tea. The portion sizes were appropriate and filling. Even the service was on point. Ivory was efficient, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations when needed. She was pleasant and made sure we had everything we needed our entire stay. If you want great atmosphere and excellent food with high quality ingredients, come to this location!!! I highly recommend Planta Queen! ”
“ Went with a big group for my friend’s birthday and Rebecca, our server, was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and patient and supported a very special evening!! Rebecca and the rest of the staff were extremely attentive to the allergies in our group and we felt very well cared for. They provided special menus for nut allergies and gluten allergy/celiac, with notes/annotations for everything. For my uncommon allergies they reviewed the menu with me specifically about my allergies. With a group of many dietary restrictions, we felt so cared for and truly appreciated the staff’s awareness and acceptance. We were there for over 2.5 hours and did not feel rushed by any staff, who were wonderful about checking in throughout. The entire experience and the environment were fantastic. The food was insanely good and our group was stunned at the high quality vegan food (especially the steak!), mocktails and cocktails, and the great atmosphere. ”
“ My first fully vegan restaurant experience and it did not miss! Visited this location with some friends visiting from out of the country and I'd like to say we all enjoyed ourselves (minus the mid-lunch fire evacuation)! I tried the bao bun, the 1,000 layer potatoes (favorite!!), the truffle udon, and I believe it was a lychee drink from the bar at the suggestion of the great host we had! Overall, it was a great experience and I'm definitely going to come back for the potatoes!! ”
“ Good service. We sat down a few minutes before 6 and weren’t helped until a few minutes after, but they gave us the happy hour price for our drinks and the summer rolls. Everything we ordered was great. ”
“ Went for Maki Monday. Super busy (make a reservation) but fun atmosphere and great deal. We did the unlimited maki for 29 and were so full and happy by the end. Photos of some of our favorite (torched and pressed, spicy tuna, and volcano?). Will be back! ”
“ PLANTA Queen was an impromptu choice for me since it was so close to my hotel Yours Truly. I was eager to try it out because besides the name, you wouldn’t guess it was vegan. The food was amazing and flavorful!! I ordered the Dragon Roll which I enjoyed so much I forgot to get a picture before demolishing it. Being a vegan restaurant, they had a substitute for traditional soy and eel sauce that still had a good taste. My favorite part of the meal was my entree - the Singapore Noodles. It was very filling and the curry base was delicious!! The onions and green peppers were a beautiful compliment to tie the dish together. For dessert I ordered the big cookie, which was the only item on the menu that I could distinguish as being vegan. It wasn’t terrible, but I could tell the batter was messing something traditional which can be expected. Overall 9.5/10 experience. The interior was nicely decorated, clean, and it wasn’t busy around 1:30 PM. The staff was very considerate of my seating preference so I could take a meeting in peace and quiet which was very appreciated. ”
“ This is a fully vegan restaurant in DC. This is my 2nd time at this location and it doesn't disappoint. I never would've thought vegan food would taste this good! They do change their menu sometimes, but the food is still good! Please get the bang bang broccoli (not pictured here). I will say, make reservations so you can be seated in a timely fashion. But once seated, the service is pretty fast even with a packed house. I love the ambiance at this restaurant. It's nicely lit, and a great place for a date. When I go back to DC, I will be here again! ”
“ This was the first vegan restaurant I’ve been to and was not disappointed at all. The restaurant was beautiful and I loved the ambiance. The food was (to my surprise) really good! I could’ve been fed this blind folded and not have had a clue that it was not meat. The drinks were tasty and unique. Overall a great experience! ”
