“ This food was *amazing* and I will absolutely be stopping by next time I'm passing through!! ”
“ Fresh, healthy and wholesome, the laughing planet is highly recommended. The menu is fully customizable. I offered the vegan chili and added tempeh for a protein boost! They were super helpful to my mother who has a very restricted doest, giving her a delicious vegan suit free meal. Highly recommend! ”
“ Had a grilled chicken quesadilla with pico de Gallo. It was delicious . Had a special root beer drink with it that went well with the main course but a little too sweet. I can handle that. ”
“ I wish I got a better picture of my bowl - but this should work! Bollywood with extra chickpeas and sauce, you have my heart!! Thank you for being my go-to reliable lunch that iz healthy and protein packed. You are part of my half marathon journey, and I will be back again this week! ”
“ Thanks Laughing Planet for being a weekly staple in our lives. You always provide a warm, fun environments for kids and parents to just skip cooking for a change. And the cookies are always a hearty treat. Just beware of the dinosaurs, they may eat your chicken burrito (get it deluxe!) if you're not looking. ”
“ Went there for lunch to brake my 3 day water fast. Ordered the "harvest bowl" and a glass of fruity kambucha. Together it was a little under 20. I expected good stuff, and what I got served did not disappoint. A bountiful selection of fresh veggies on top, sauteed/steamed in the middle (loved the sauteed kale) and quinoa/beans hidden on the bottom. The tofu/grain cubes are tastier than any meat and are plenty throughout the plate. The green fresh herb sauce on the side was fresh and balanced, fantastic for dipping. If you want to have a dining experience that fills, energizes, and tastes fantastic, this is the place. ”
“ I'm really grateful to be able to find such a hearty, nutritious meal for 14. Amazing variety of vegetables. I'm glad they recommended extra sauce for the Bollywood bowl too, so good! Can't wait to come back. Update: if you're gluten free and/or dairy free, you've gotta give their chicken burrito a try. It's so refreshing to have a great burrito after years of being gluten free! The green sauce is great. The tortilla costs 1 but is worth it. 10.50 with standard tortilla in 2024 is outstanding value. ”
“ The Harvest Bowl was recommended by one of the girls that work there. We are new to Vegan eating and she mentioned they have amazing Tempeh. And she was right. Our Harvest Bowl was so good. I had some left overs and the next day it was even great cold. ”
