Used to like this place but today they had this horrible, loud, annoying music (or rather noise). Asked pls to turn it down and was ignored. So we left and went nearby to quiet and nice Tatte. I want to talk with my wife while we eat, and we could barely hear each other. They clearly don't care. Will not be back.

- most dishes came cold / tasted stale (broccoli, “chikn” mushrooms, etc)
- drinks were pretty bad — small, incorrect ratios, etc
+ the rolls were okay
This place has really gone downhill since last time we came in Dec 2024

Enjoyed an evening with the family at this restaurant! The food we ordered was very tasty and flavorful! The bao buns, truffle udon noodles - excellent flavor, kamut noodles - greasy, edamame dumplings, rainbow sushi - very good, eggplant unagi - exceptional but a very small serving of 2 pieces! The only item we did not appreciate was the miso soup which seemed a bit lacking in flavor. Will certainly revisit.

Excellent vegan restaurant!
Friendly service and good flavors won us over. We tried then Dan Dan noodles which had a nice kick to them with a dominant coconut flavor.
The beef and broccoli were also delicious. The broccoli was cooked very well and the vegan beef also did not disappoint even though in general Im not a huge fan of vegan meats.
Last but not least, the bao buns were incredible and I strongly recommend to whoever likes mushrooms and some heat. The fried mushrooms were perfectly crispy and the sauce was incredible!

Our server was AMAZING! (young woman, my apologies I don't remember her name) She provided several recommendations, all of which did not disappoint. I was celebrating my birthday and she definitely made my dining experience a wonderful one. The brisket kimchi fried rice was one of the best fried rice dishes I've ever had. The matcha cheesecake was also very impressive. Please make these two menu items forever staples! When I return to PLANTA I want to be able to get these 2 dishes every time, lol. Thank you again for a memorable birthday dining experience!
