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!

I have been to Planta many times, but this was my first time at Planta Queen. I like the design and lighting a lot. The seating was very comfortable. Most of the staff was very friendly. Our main server and the host stood out as especially warm. The food was wonderful. We had the spring rolls, fried rice, beef and broccoli, and the sticky toffee pudding cake with icecream. The only thing that was not great was the bathrooms. There were only two bathrooms , which for a space that large does not make sense.

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.
