An Experience - Edit
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! - Edit
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 - Edit
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.
Read morePros: Very unique flavor combinations., Fun drink offerings, beautiful dining space

Beautiful Setting, Great Meal - Edit
This is my second time trying PLANTA after enjoying them at their Chicago location a year ago.
Read moreWe 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! - Edit
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 😊

Beautiful venue, friendly staff, tasty food - Edit
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

Good but expensive - Edit
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.

Overpriced bar - Edit
Trader Joe’s next door has picnic tables. Nothing like Planta in Brentwood (which has great pizza). Outdoor seating is a hot commodity here. The food is bland and unfilling. Half the menu here is drinks, despite the name “Cocina.” They do not have the oven We had the “lobster” (heart of palm) rolls, on par with Wienerschnitzel. We also had the 5 croquetas, which were decent, but not 16 dollars decent. The restaurants layout is also very unsettling, constantly people moving around you in the front. No view unless ur in the very back.
Read morePros: Pretty venue, All vegan
Cons: 1. Ridiculously overprice

Very good upscale vegan restaurant + plenty of GF options - Edit
Great experience overall. Required a reservation, which was quick to make online. Staff was all super friendly. Got seated outside in a comfy booth, which was super vibey at sunset on the marina. Server Zach was great, food came extremely fast in well-timed courses. Music was a little loud but otherwise was a perfect visit.

Excellent - Edit
Open layout right by the water. Great views friendly staff.
Read moreThe food comes out as made. The tuna wasabi nachos were delicious and unique! The French toast comes with a heaping pile of cream! It kind of tastes like a funnel cake. The truffle udon noodles were super great. I went with non vegans and they really liked the b fast burrito.
Pros: High end, Location
Cons: Expensive

Vegan sushi is always fun - Edit
They do a great job on so many things but the watermelon tuna sushi had way too much rice. This is worrisome because it is a dramatic change from before. Is it indicative of the decline?

Beautiful views of marina - Edit
Always enjoy Planta, no matter the location, but this one has beautiful views of the marina. Favorites are the torched and pressed sushi, crispy rice and the best was the spicy tuna tacos.

Taste matters - Edit
While many vegan restaurants are closing or adding meat and dairy to survive, Planta is thriving. It goes to show that taste matters. If you want to be successful in vegan world, you have to work hard, be a top chef, and be creative in the kitchen.
Read morePlanta has that. It has top chefs, pleasant atmosphere, and the most that matters is the food taste is incredibly delicious.
I doubt it that their customers are all vegans but customers just keep coming to this restaurant. It is not cheap eating here but it seems that it doesn’t matter to most people as they want to get what they pay for.
We enjoyed Firecracker Roll, Bang Bang Broccoli, Udon with mushrooms and black truffles, French Toast with blueberry compote, and desserts: banana pudding and big cookie. The cocktail I tried was Herb Your Enthusiasm which was delicious too.
Pros: Yummy food and drinks, Service , Atmosphere
Cons: Parking, Noisy

You probably work for the restaurant maybe you own the place because honestly it's not worth it to go spend money over there I'm vegan for 40 years and this is the worse foods ever!

I don’t own nor work for the restaurant. I like and you don’t like it, is fine. It’s a free country so there is no need to pass judgement about my taste and be a nasty person.

My favorite restaurant - Edit
Planta Cocina in Marina Del Ray is I think by far the best or makes it in the top two best vegan restaurants of all time. The location, the food and the service couldn’t be any better. Never disappoints. Only con I’d say is that there can be a bit of a wait on weekends, but other than that, I’d recommend any vegan to visit this restaurant.

Went there for our anniversary dinner and we were thoroughly satisfied. Service was great, food was awesome. Will definitely go back and will enjoy their patio sitting facing the marina and would enjoy the sunset.

Devine! - Edit
After celebrating my birthday at Planta Queen in Chicago, we knew we had to try Planta Cocina while visiting California.
Read morePlanta never disappoints. We had reservations for lunch and were able to sit outside on the patio. Both inside and outside dining areas were exquisite. The entire restaurant was so beautifully decorated, it was hard to decide whether or not to sit inside or outside.
We were a party of three and were able to try 6 different dishes thanks to the power lunch special. As always, the food was devine and the ambiance was just as pleasant. It’s hard not to feel like royalty while dining here.
When we finished our meal, we were brought out a plate of three, oh so decadent, Chocolate Chip cookies. They were gooey on the inside and crunchy on the outside.
We will certainly be trying out the other Planta locations, as this has now become a staple restaurant for us.
Pros: All vegan, Gorgeous decor and location , Large menu, delicious food
