Finally made it over here!

Planta has some of the best food in LA, but be prepared to spend some serious money here (~$50 per person). Love this place! Waaaaay overpriced though

Pros: Good food

Cons: Overpriced

Very tasty

Tip top location, beautiful restaurant. Food was great. Two of us shared two starters and a main and had plenty of food. Went for the bang bang broccoli, avocado and beetroot terrine (large for a starter and delicious), and the lettuce wraps

Pros: Harbor views , Seals, Beautiful sunsets

Cons: Some of the tables are quite close together

Good food but not amazing

Solid vegan food with lots of options.
Interesting attempts at veganizing dishes, but sometimes different items are indistinguishable.

Pros: Lots of options, Validate parking, Beautiful atmosphere

Cons: Some house-made ingredients taste the same

Love Planta

I ordered this via UberEATS so not as fresh as if I dined in but I ordered the ever so delicious bang bang broccoli and the Korean kimchi chicken burger. Both good

Great location, small portions, overpriced

Gorgeous location and the decor is also A+. Those are the main reason to go. Food just average but very tiny portions and very expensive. Service is not good.

Love this place, and been there many times!

At this point, I've lost count of how many times we've been at Planta and I'm so glad that this restaurant has done so well. Menu standouts include the Unagi Eggplant, Red Dragon Roll, Mushroom Croquetas, as well as the Rosarita and Oaxacan Old Fashioned from the bar.

Fun ambience

The ambiance is my favorite part of frequenting this restaurant. I have only been here twice so far. The first time, I found the food to be quite creative and tasty. The special margarita was also unique and delicious. I have to say, however, when I visited a second time, my experience was quite the opposite. Possibly, I just had bad luck on my choices, but I found the 3 food items to be lacking in creativity and tasting over salty. They were out of the specialty margarita I wanted so I was advised by the waitress to have the watermelon margarita. I questioned her advice since it seemed like it would just taste like a watered down margarita….and found my instinct to be correct. It did taste like a watery margarita. Don’t they taste test these offerings? So I still gave 4 stars with the hope I just visited on an off night.

So much great food!

If you sit outside, you have a beautiful view of the Marina. There are so many delicious types of food they offer here, it’s really nice during happy hour because of the prices.

Pros: Sushi, Burger, Cauliflower

it was good but not to my liking

honestly I was so excited to try this spot but was somewhat dissatisfied.

maybe it was the items I chose but it just wasn’t to my liking. I would be willing to come back and try something different but wouldn’t necessarily go out my way to come back on my own.

on the positive side I really loved the spring rolls

Good Food But I Got Food Poisoning

Love this restaurant. Have eaten at chain in many cities. Ate a simple salad with tofu at this one. Got food poisoning. Won't go back.

Great food

I used to love going to Planta when I lived in Canada, so I was genuinely happy to discover they have locations in California too. The menu offers a fantastic selection of fresh, flavorful vegan dishes that make plant-based eating exciting, not restrictive. It’s fast, creative, and satisfying — definitely not your average vegan fare.

The bar is impressively stocked, offering great cocktail options that complement the food well. However, the service left a bit to be desired. We had to wait quite a while for our drinks, and our server barely checked in throughout the meal, which took away from the overall experience.

Still, if you're looking for high-quality vegan food with bold flavors and great variety, Planta is absolutely worth visiting. Just cross your fingers for better service.

Gorgeous dining room

Port food on the marina of Ray. The dining room is breathtaking. The food was very good but I did expect more chef personality. Everything ordered was yummy but not unique and easy to find elsewhere. The service was okay. The restrooms weren’t the cleanest. There I said it. But that dining room was so inspiring that it still feels luxurious to dine there.

An Experience

You don’t eat at Planta Cocina - you experience it! The ambience, the food! I love this place for special occasions, date nights, and indulgent evenings. The food and presentation are delicious and beautiful.

Good sushi and wonderful desserts!

I ordered the sushi, chicken sandwich and burrito. Sushi is the best. The chicken sandwich also really good. The burrito is ok. The sour cream is good. I love the desserts so much even its kind of over priced, but the location is expensive

Love

Beautiful, bright, nicely spaced indoor dining room. Too windy the day we went to enjoy outdoor space but that is an option. We were incredibly impressed with every dish we ordered and would recommend each. If we had to rank them, I'd say don't miss the firecracker roll and bang bang broccoli. Super honorable mention for the maitake mushrooms. The horchata cheesecake was almost perfection, although there was a bitterness to the fruit in the compote topping, so we just brushed that aside and enjoyed every last bite.

Pros: Very unique flavor combinations., Fun drink offerings, beautiful dining space

Beautiful Setting, Great Meal

This is my second time trying PLANTA after enjoying them at their Chicago location a year ago.

We went specifically for happy hour (16:00 - 18:00) and were able to get a few orders of bites and drinks in before it ended. Everything on HH was discounted about $1-2 so it's not huge savings, but every little bit counts.

Some of the dishes we had were great while others were simply okay. We loved their mushroom tacos the most but found their "loaded nachos" to not be very loaded, and the avocado dip ended up being a ceviche which was fine but not great.

We also ordered a sushi roll and their truffle mushroom udon, which was a favorite of mine from Chicago. Both were good but I was definitely surprised at how little udon we had for the $30 price point. Great flavors, but I feel it could've been a bit better for the price.

Aside from that, PLANTA was still another good experience. The drinks were well made, the ambiance is stellar, and service was great.

Pros: Happy Hour available

Cons: Some HH options pretty forgettable

Beautiful venue!

Had dinner New Year’s Day and must say even though the food service wasn’t the best I will still give 5 stars! Kitchen was short of staff front of house were running around apologising it seemed quite a few tables were having issues. Our starter came once we finished main course. Food is amazing front of house staff great! Building amazing and location. Has not put me off 😊

Pros: Venue, Food , Choice

Cons: Getting food out on time

Beautiful venue, friendly staff, tasty food

Not every dish was a hit, but my picky eater of a boyfriend and I loved most of them, and the ones we didn’t were handicapped by filling up! A good problem to have. #Veganuary

Pros: Variety, Service, Taste

Cons: Price

Good but expensive

The food was tasty and nicely presented, but compared to the size of the plates and the quality not being that different from other places I've been during this trip, I think it's was over priced.

Great upscale vegan food

Great upscale vegan restaurant with excellent food. Portions are on the small side and service was a little slow….but slow because the place was busy.

Pros: Great outdoor seating , Excellent food
