Master Critic Review
PLANTA Queen Nomad
8.5
A high-energy, Asian-fusion plant-based room where the kitchen leans into sushi-bar precision and glossy share-plate drama. The menu’s strength is texture play—crispy, torched, chilled, and sauced—making it one of the easiest “everyone’s happy” vegetarian dinners in NoMad.
Must-Try Dishes:
Bang Bang Broccoli, Truffle Udon, Ahi Watermelon Nigiri
