PLANTA Chicago is one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Chicago for dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Chicago.

Most plant-based restaurants in this country are still making one of two mistakes: apologizing for what's absent, or moralizing about what's at stake.

Editorial review updated•Jul 28, 2026

Most plant-based restaurants in this country are still making one of two mistakes: apologizing for what's absent, or moralizing about what's at stake. PLANTA Chicago has apparently decided to do neither. The Chicago outpost of this plant-forward brand positions itself squarely in the maximalist, high-gloss lane — the kind of room that reads sleek and intentional, with a price point that sits at a single dollar sign, which feels almost incongruous given what the plating reportedly looks like. The crowd, by most accounts, skews young and diverse, and is there for dinner, not a wellness lecture. This is destination dining that happens to be fully vegan, and that framing distinction matters. What the menu is doing, specifically, is translating global comfort food through a plant-based lens without flattening the source material into beige obscurity. The Bang Bang Broccoli is consistently described as lacquered and boldly sauced — a dish that leads with confidence rather than apology. The Chili Crab Noodles have developed a reputation for real funk and heat, the kind of aggressiveness that registers as a deliberate creative choice. Diners tend to point to the Crispy Rice as the table-quieting opener — the one that earns immediate consensus. For anyone approaching plant-based cooking with skepticism, the Brisket Kimchi Fried Rice is the reported corrective: the kimchi's ferment-forward intensity does structural work, and the plant-based brisket is noted for its textural presence rather than mere symbolic inclusion. The Korean Chick'n Sandwich rounds out the lineup as the straightforwardly satisfying, no-asterisk sandwich option on the menu. Practical reality: this is a group-dining setup that performs best with four to six people moving through multiple dishes simultaneously. Weekend dinner reservations book ahead — walk-in optimism at prime hours is genuinely optimistic. Book the table before you talk yourself into something else.
