Spicy Moon New York Reviews from The Last Year
I'm not sure why it took me so long to eat here but I'm so
I'm not sure why it took me so long to eat here but I'm so glad I did. Chill ambiance. The Dan Dan noodles were spicy but not crazy. The portions are wonderful. The price is reasonable. It was all good energy. I'll be back!
First of all, you can find plenty of delicious food here
First of all, you can find plenty of delicious food here even if you eat only mild dishes. Plenty of non-spicy possibilities. The brussel sprouts and eggplant are delectable!! The potato dumplings are a very pleasant surprise if if you like dill and potatoes. We loved other dishes too (my vegan chef cousin on another visit greatly enjoyed the tofu bun and her Asian ice tea). We were very fortunate to have WILL as our server. Will was highly attentive, yet gave us plenty of space; he patiently described the food and answered all of our many questions to help us select the best dishes for our group-members' variety of tastes. NICE, CARING service. Actually, I've had other fantastic servers there too, so the training seems top-notch at Spicy Moon and/or they hire exceptional staff.
Despite its favorable reviews, this vegetarian and vegan
Despite its favorable reviews, this vegetarian and vegan Chinese restaurant left me underwhelmed. The dishes, overly reliant on breading with scant filling, missed an opportunity to showcase the rich potential of plant-based cuisine. Expectations of a diverse and innovative menu were met with basic offerings, lacking in variety and culinary creativity. This establishment could benefit greatly from a refreshed approach to its menu, embracing the full spectrum of flavors and ingredients available in vegetarian and vegan cooking.
Waited like 30 mins for our table despite having a
Waited like 30 mins for our table despite having a reservation, which isn't a huge deal but just something to note. I really did not like the food at all. I got the kung pao style and it was so bland. The 3 cup stir fry dish was actually so bad. I tried every dish my party of 7 got and thought it was all super average but that also could just be personal preference. Aesthetically the dishes are really pretty tho!
Everything was delicious! General Tsos tofu was sooo good.
The noodles were also amazing. The veggie fried dumplings were okay, but it could've used more flavor. The restaurant is really dark, so bring your nocturnal friends. Service was very friendly, and they had fun music playing. It's a bit pricy, and also very filling, so definitely consider sharing.
Amazing vegan Chinese food!
Great vegan Chinese food! The mapo tofu, kung pao style tofu and the bun with fried mushroom was amazing. The bao with “chicken” was a bit bland. The food came really quickly. The cocktails were great (just a bit smallish, but most NY restaurants give small cocktails). The music is quite loud and the lights are dimmed, but that’s part of the atmosphere I guess. The service was really good, the staff is very attentive and kind. So we had a great night.
Not a fan of the dumplings, the dan dan noodles were great
Not a fan of the dumplings, the dan dan noodles were great though. Service was good too for a relatively busy night. It is a fun and bustling environment for sure though. It is an intimate space and also they are kinda strict on the time if they are busy.
Great vegan spot in east village! Ambience: I came here on
Great vegan spot in east village! Ambience: I came here on a weekday night and it was bustling! They do have a decent amount of seating! We were seated by the bar which was nice Service: fast and attentive Food: we ordered a lot for two people. Mt recommendation would be to get a few items to share so you can try more! The crabless Rangoon was my favorite - it had a lot of flavor and was well made! We ordered three buns: tofu, shiitake, and gong chicken! I liked the gong chicken one, the others I felt lacked flavor. We also got a main, which was the tofu dry pot! It was filled with veggies and I really enjoyed it! Note: you have to buy rice separately! Solid options all around Price: for all that food- it was about $70! So not cheap but also good value and a good experience
The space is smaller than I thought it would be, so I
The space is smaller than I thought it would be, so I definitely recommend a reservation if you can grab one! The tables are super close together and it can get loud, so it might not be the best place for a first date or something. BUT my friend and I were seated at the window side by side, and it was perfect for gossipping. I ordered the dan dan noodles and stringbeans, and both were simply so delicious. The noodles were perfectly bouncy, it was a HUGE bowl of noodles, and they were so peanut-y and sauce-y. They were spicy, but not too spicy-- just enough to feel a kick at the end. I was able to finish the whole bowl and I am still thinking about how they tasted right now. The stringbeans were equally as flavorful, and I cannot recommend both enough. My friend was also GF, and we were told the items with black stars on the menu were able to be made GF!
This is definitely awesome vegan food, but as a non-vegan,
This is definitely awesome vegan food, but as a non-vegan, I didn't feel conscious that anything was missing or an "approximation." It was just really good Sichuan style food. We had the green onion pancakes, steamed eggplant in pepper sauce and Kung Pao tofu (side of brown rice). We saw another table having the Kung Pao and we just pointed and said, "we want that" because it looked so delicious. And it was! We were having a pretty chill dinner vibe wise, despite our spicy tongues thanks to the eggplant. Towards the end of the dinner my friend noticed the waiter seemed a bit stressed about getting us to settle up. I laughed and mentioned that I had read about the "GTFO" attitude another Yelper encountered after being given a heads up that their dining time would be limited to an hour during the weekend. This was a Tuesday and more folks were streaming in, but there was some space still in the tiny restaurant. No one said anything overt to us, but we paid the bill and made for the door. Knocked a star off my review for the rushed feeling, but the food is 5 star.
The food was delicious, service was quick which is good.
However, the attentiveness was heavily seasoned with eat your food and GTFO. My friends and I made a reservation for 6pm and upon arriving I was informed that it's their busy night and they're booked solid and they allot for 1 hour per table so be sure to finish our meal and GTFO by 7pm. A friend called before arriving and the 1 hour was reiterated over the phone. We all made it to spicy moon by the 6pm no lateness. When we were seated we were again reminded of the 1 hour time deadline. The restaurant is small so I get it. By 7 we were wrapping it up and the check was eagerly offered. I would steer clear of this location. The area has so many other vegan options so if you really want to sit, chat, and enjoy your meal either make a reservation at one of the other spicy moon locations OR find a different restaurant.
As a diehard meat lover who will generally not eat at
As a diehard meat lover who will generally not eat at vegan/vegetarian establishments, this vegan restaurant was legit. Spicy Moon captures the Szechuan cuisine perfectly using only vegan ingredients and I have to applaud them for that. It's super difficult to replicate the real dish especially if it has meat in it but this restaurant absolutely nails the exact taste of Szechuan cuisine. Ngl, this vegan place is better than some other Chinese Szechuan restaurants I have been to. Szechuan cuisine is normally greasy so I came into this restaurant with that expectation. Food: Dan Dan noodles with beyond beef: my favorite dish and was packed with flavor! Sesame taste does stick out and was a tad (barely) spicy. Vegetable wontons with chili oil: EXACTLY like pork wontons in chili oil. Greasy but expected since it's oil. Not too spicy but delicious and stuffed. Mapo tofu with beyond beef: EXACTLY like mapo tofu. No other words, just goodness. Char siu shiitake bun: They managed to make the texture like char siu meat and the sauce tasted exactly like char siu. I don't like mushrooms but I didn't even taste it. Excellent execution! Salt & Pepper Mixed Veggies: super crispy batter and I could barely taste the veggies but that's okay because the batter was perfectly fried and salted.
Cute and snug spot with quick service and overwhelmingly
Cute and snug spot with quick service and overwhelmingly good food. The vegetable fried rice with Beyond beef crumbles was solid, as were the scallion pancakes. Ample portion sizes.
Amazing food.
The veggie wontons in chili oil were the best! But the Dan Dan noodles, fried eggplant, and general tso tofu were all excellent too. You can skip the scallion pancakes.
Overall I think Id need to come back to try more things,
Overall I think Id need to come back to try more things, but based on my order I'd give it more of a 3.5. If you don't like oily food, I wouldn't recommend it. I think it's great that everything is vegetarian though. For 2 ppl we got 3 apps and 1 main dish: - chili wontons: these were good! I esp like the sweet soy sauce that goes with it - tofu bun: also good! We shared one, the bun was soooo soft and fluffy, and the filling was flavorful - Brussels sprouts: this took a while to come (well after everything else, and I had to ask about it) and it's very crispy but oily - dry pepper pot with tofu and mixed veggies: when we ordered we said tofu, but the waiter asked if we also wanted to add mixed veggies, I thought why not. I didn't realize however that it would be ALL potato and barely any tofu T_T. There was also some eggplant. The worst part though was just how fried and oily everything was. I thought there would be a lot of dry peppers, but I saw mostly fried batter. It was a lot. What I really wanted to try was the honey walnut edamame, but they said they were out :( some other reccs I've gotten before are the Dan Dan noodles, but I probably won't be back any time soon. Service was great though, and the space is pretty small. You don't really need to make reservations but it can get packed
The food, ambiance and service were all 10/10.
Some of the best vegan Asian food that I've had- all the dishes that I got (which was many) were delicious!
Could the food be any more flavorful? Could the service be
Could the food be any more flavorful? Could the service be any more fun and entertaining. Love spicy moon. I crave and must come back to the village to get my fix.
Absolutely wonderful experience here! I wasn't expecting
Absolutely wonderful experience here! I wasn't expecting much from vegan Sichuan food, considering that so much of Chinese cuisine is based in non-vegan ingredients, but this really blew my expectations away. The kung-pao tofu is a must get. The tofu is fried, so it develops a super crispy exterior (probably the crispiest tofu I've ever had), while still maintaining an amazingly tender inside. The sauce is pretty classically sweet and savory. The eggplant sticks (forgot what they're called) were also great. They're long sticks of thick cut eggplant, battered and fried. A super crispy exterior, and the eggplant is cooked just right, so it has some chew to it, but is still tender enough to easily bite through. They also throw a ton of MSG on top, so it's reallllly umami, which I loved. The mapo tofu was also great. Tasted very authentic, actually quite spicy, and overall didn't feel the "veganess" of it at all. The spicy wontons and the zhajiang noodles weren't as good. The wontons were too sweet for my taste, and the zhajiang noodles weren't super authentic (more just like slightly spicy noodles, not black bean). Will definitely be back to try other dishes here! Wonderful experience.
unpleasant food, and worse service
I'd like to save others from wasting their money and time here. From the moment we walked in to the restaurant, with uncomfortably loud music blaring, they immediately told us how quickly we had to leave. They assured us the food came very quickly, and indeed it did, within minutes. Unfortunately our drinks only arrived as we were finishing the food, so I only wound up drinking about 1/4 of mine since I was done with the meal. They were grabbing dishes away the moment we took the last bite and we were out less than 30 minutes after arriving, leaving us with an unexpected hour to wander around in the cold before the play we were attending. The dan dan noodles tasted great at first, but after a few bites the amount of salt was absolutely overwhelming and I couldn't eat any more. The crispy eggplant tasted only of oil, and the steamed dumplings were disappointingly bland. I ate just a few bites of each and left hungry, which seemed better than eating the food. It was pretty expensive, and I was extremely sorry to have spent my money there. I wouldn't consider going again.
Unsatisfied!
We thought the food was somewhat tasty, but it was heavily saturated in grease. I felt some of the dishes were overpriced for the amount you received. Especially the vegan duck wrap. $16.95 for two bites in my opinion is extortionate. I didn’t decide to leave a tip as the service was extremely poor. The waiter did a check back at the end which is too late. We felt very rushed and the waiter stormed off when we decided not to tip. For this reason I would not return or recommend this restaurant to anybody.
Excellent Vegan Sichuan Restarant in the West Village
The Spicy Moon is an excellent vegan Sichuan restaurant in the West Village. We started off with Vegan Duck Wraps and then had Salt & Pepper Style Tofu and Vegetable Fried Rice. The meal was excellent, We arrived hungry and left full.

Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

When it says working on bid, it means there are people looking to fill it.
