Tingly and Yummy - Edit
One of my favorite vegan restaurants in NYC. I always request for the highest level of spiciness. Their dishes are just so addictive.

Good value vegan Sichuan lunch - Edit
Real nice address in village. Lunch was excellent value at under $20. I had veg dumplings and dan dan noodles with beyond beef. Everything was good but noodles were excellent!

Tasty food - Edit
Really tasty food in a casual restaurant with eclectic deco and great service. The fried vegetable rice with beyond beef was very good as was the kung pao tofu.

Very tasty, but not super balanced - Edit
The food was so tasty and addictive. I loved having such flavourful options. We had some kick-ass mocktails and a super tasty black sesame fried Bao. Some wishes:
Read more- the menu is extensive and would benefit from descriptions. What does "homestyle tofu" look like?
- some dishes don't come with protein/veg (i.e, the Dan Dan noodles are basically just noodles in sauce with a very small amount of greens). You sometimes have the option to pay more for protein (Beyond).

A really fun time, great food - Edit
Finally made it to Spicy Moon and it lived up to the hype! The spot is super cute, service was great, and the menu is incredible. So many options, so much looks amazing, and it is really hard to choose. The Dan Dan noodles were probably our favorite, followed by the wontons, but everything was delicious!

Great food! - Edit
Spicy Moon never dissapoints. Tried the spicy tofu and shitake buns and steamed veggie dumplings. Loved the shitake bun, the veggie dumpling were excellent as well. Staff were very friendly.

Amazing food, do not miss - Edit
Our whole meal was delicious - scallion pancakes, wontons in chili oil, cabbage with dry pepper, salt and pepper tofu and Dan Dan noodles. I don't think the beef added to the noodles so would skip that next time, but even so everything was delicious and we had to roll me back to the subway.

Not bad lunch special - Edit
Stopped by for lunch, got there and it was empty but completely filled by the time I left. They have a pretty good menu (think all the vegan stuff from Din Tai Fung plus some more) along with a couple lunch special options.
Read moreI opted for the small plate plus bowl/entree lunch special, I think $17 so not too bad. My small plate was just 2 steamed veggie dumplings, good but nothing to write home about. Then I decided on Kung Pao Tofu for my main, which in hindsight was probably a mistake since it’s generally a pretty mediocre dish. And yeah, it was pretty good but definitely not a stand out.
I think sharing a few more dishes between a group would be a lot more fun, so I’m cautiously giving this place 4 stars. Pretty good value for the lunch special too. Only gripe is the god-awful tiny stool they had me sitting on. I’m a spry young person, and I still was not feeling great hunched over my food like a goblin since the short little stool had no back.

Amazing vegan Szechuan food - Edit
LOVED the Dan Dan noodles and also the spicy tofu buns! The duck wraps were also surprisingly meat-like according to my non-vegan friends. It was great getting to try a variety of Szechuan dishes that are typically not vegan-friendly.

Great spot! - Edit
I can see myself coming back here. I came with my sister (omnivore) and she loved it too! She has some pretty serious allergies and they fully took that into account and walked her through what to avoid on the menu and even double and triple checked on all the items she ordered! It was awesome. I will definitely come back here

Such nice service, pretty space and good noodles - Edit
The dan dan were delicious, though too rich for me to eat more than half (and I don’t have a small appetite!). The scallion pancake was good but not the best I’ve had, especially for $9. Char siu mushroom bun was good but very sweet. My omni family said this was the best fried rice they’ve ever had!
Read morePros: Dan dan noodles, Ambiance, Kind staff

We Prefer the 6th Street Location - Edit
Excited to go back to Spicy Moon, but this was the only one open this late on a Saturday night.
Read moreThe place is larger than 6th St, but OMG, so f’ing loud (at 90 decibels) — it was an assault. If I wanted to go clubbing, I’d go to a club or bar.
Our waiter was very nice.
We ordered much of the same as 6th St., and added the Vegetable Wonton in Chili Oil. The wrappers were so delicate, but this is a HOT dish. If we order this again, we’d ask for the sauce on the side.
We thought this is what we got before — Garlic Sauce Style mixed veggies with a side of white rice (add $1.95) & tofu, but it was NOT, and there were a lot of different veggies in there, but it just was a bit muddy in taste & the pieces were small — making them hard to eat.
The Cold Sesame Noodles were drier than the creamy 6th St version (that I dreamed of for weeks after), and was a much smaller portion. I did appreciate the julienne cucumber — very refreshing.
The General Tsos Mushrooms with their crunchy coating, fresh squeeze of a lemon, and (as we asked for it) sauce on the side (because at 6th St, they drowned the nuggets in the sweet sauce — no good) was a nice break on texture. Could use a bit more flavor, or salt.
Overall, not bad, but pricy & too loud.
Pros: Open late(r), Delicate wonton, Come on, vegan Chinese Food!
Cons: Too loud, Too pricy

I’ve been to this location during the day and it was very peaceful! They probably crank up the music at night time only.

Kung pao - Edit
Loved the atmosphere and tunes. Also really liked my kung pao, but the stir fry noodles were spiced weirdly (not too hot, but just had an unusual taste).
Read moreSeparately, had the most fantastic strawberry cream filled pastry from the pop up on the High Line! Definitely recommend.

Don’t hesitate!!! - Edit
Absolutely amazing. So good, we cancelled a booking elsewhere on a different day so that we can go back to try more menu items! The food, service and atmosphere was 10/10. We had the tofu and veg dry pot and green beans. Now, they may just seem like green beans and nothing special but they were AMAZING!! So flavoursome, highly recommend this place!
Read moreAlso to add, a meal for two adults (sharing one main and the beans) came to around 50usd including tip. The portions were absolutely massive!

Creative Szechuan - Edit
This place is not a typical Chinese restaurant; in addition to being all vegan, its dishes are more creative. I am not their ideal customer, since I don't like food that is too spicy. I had their peppercorn brussel sprouts, which were very tasty.

Pros: Creative, nice atmosphere, good service, for those who like spicy food

Spicy food for the win - Edit
I've been eyeing this restaurant for months ever since I saw it on TikTok, and today I decided to order it through DoorDash! I scheduled an order for 12pm and they started making the food the second they opened. I was so excited to get my food and the first thing I noticed was how heavy the bag was! I spent close to $37 in food which was a bit hefty in my opinion, but once I was done with lunch I realized how worth the food is for the price. I barely made a dent in my meal! The portion sizes were huge. I ordered the mapo tofu and the spicy wontons and only ate a third of the wontons and a bite of the tofu before tapping out. Please note, if you cannot handle a lot of spice, this might not be the restaurant for you. Spicy Moon specializes in dishes from the Sichuan region in China and they are known for their mouth numbing spice. I love spicy food and have a pretty good tolerance and ordered the tofu in level 4 out of 10. It was still pretty spicy!
Read moreEven though the food did make my nose run a little, I would for sure go back to this restaurant. The food is genuinely so tasty and flavorful and the restaurant is completely vegan! Definitely worth it in my opinion
Pros: Spicy food, Huge portions
