Laughing Planet Gabriel Park

I’ve never tried Laughing Planet before, though I’ve really meant to. I found a deal on Too Good To Go, an app meant to reduce food waste, and I saw it as a sign that I should finally try it. For $5 I got a small chicken, cheese, rice, and corn burrito; a side of rice and beans with a green salsa sauce; and three giant chocolate peppermint cookies. Everything was delicious! The chicken in the burrito was plentiful and moist. I have no idea what that green sauce was but it was SO good! I liked that the black beans weren’t over cooked—they still were still in bean form as opposed to overcooks beans that mush up (but aren’t supposed to be refried-style). The cookies were amazing and I feel so lucky to have gotten three lol. Everything I ate was fresh and didn’t feel stale. I’m definitely intrigued now and will be back to try something on the menu.

If you are looking for a great family friendly veg-vegan-gluten free eco options restaurant, this is it. Try the spicy Thai bowl with peanut sauce with tofu, or the warm spicing of the Harvest bowl. Eight local beers on tap are always available. The grandkids love the guacamole and chips here, and the burritos are popular, too. The Buoy IPA from Astoria was an excellent choice. A popular family friendly neighborhood restaurant means it is frequently busy, but there is a patio out back weather permitting. Phone and online ordering is available.
