Delicious! If I lived in New York I’d be a regular. The menu is very robust and the food tastes so good. The food did take a little while to come out but worth the wait. My favorite was the DanDan noodles. The spice was perfect.

The only place that could turn me vegan! Love the dandan noodles so much! The wantons do not disappoint every time. Spice levels are great and do not overpower the dish. The mango cocktail is amazing and delicious. It was my second time here and unfortunately they had a power outage that disrupted operations causing a hold up in orders. Staff was apologetic but quickly got our order as soon as everything was fixed. Food came out swiftly which was great!

Had the Dan Dan noodles and the fried eggplant. They say small plates, but either could have been a meal. Loved the joint and can't wait to go back

Spicy moon is a great place for some good vegan food! All the chicken dishes taste like actual real meat, and it doesn’t feel like you’re eating vegan meat. The vegan meat dishes I tried which were the kung pao style and the chicken and broccoli which were bursting with flavor and truly delicious. They had a good mix of the sauces in it. Their French fries were also really great and flavorful. Service was alright and our food came out fairly quickly. The prices are alright and moderate. It’s not too expensive nor was it really affordable, just in between. The decor of the place is also nice and fun, I liked the pink theme that they had going. I have to come back here to try their noodles. Price: $28.00💸 Rating: 8/10📝

Spicy moon delivered at a level in line with my expectations for vegan food. As a non vegan I would definitely recommend as an inclusive option for your leaf loving friends or partner. The drinks were solid, ambience inviting and service friendly. Highlights were the scallion pancake, general tso’s chicken and the spicy wontons.

As pure vegetarians this pure vegan Chinese restaurant In Lower Manhattan was a bliss for us. Authentic Szechuan & Chinese Dishes. And great taste. Nice clean cozy place.

It's a quirky and inviting restaurant for cozy dinner. Highly recommend for vegetarians / vegans. The Dan Dan noodles are must order and chilli oil wantons were also good. Staff will nicely help to toss and mix noodles in front of you. Staff is really helpful and recommends food as per your taste.

The duck wraps, dumplings in chili oil, and the dry pepper/pot-style big bites are repeat favorites — consistently flavorful and satisfying. Appreciate their seasonal desserts, especially the moon cakes they brought out around October–November this year. Always a reliable, delicious stop.

Good vegan spot in the city. We were seated at a small, wobbly table placed on a steel plate right in the middle of a busy pathway — not ideal, especially since most of the staff had to pass by us constantly. It’s not the staff’s fault, of course, just an unfortunate spot (kind of a blind spot next to the bathroom and far from the larger tables). That said, the food was good! Highlight of the night: The Kung Pao Veggies — absolutely delicious. The fried tofu was amazing, and the mix of tempura-fried veggies tossed in a sweet and spicy gochujang-based sauce really hit the spot. Dumplings in Chilli Oil: 2.5/5 — Flavor-wise they were decent, but way too oily for my taste. Mushroom Bao Bun: Tasty, but the portion felt a bit small — just one bao per order, which was a little underwhelming. The servers were kind, humble, and clearly doing their best amidst a packed weekend crowd. Service was fast considering how busy it was. There’s a wait time if you haven’t reserved a table make sure to reserve one.

If you’re looking for vegan Chinese food in NYC, this is the place to be! The dishes are flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The ambience is perfect—cozy and inviting inside, with a great vibe outside as well. Truly a must-try spot

Spacious place nice vibes. It is one of those ultra dim moderate music place where it is difficult to read the menu. The food was decent. The general tso chicken was great. The shitake bun was too sweet. Schezuan fried rice grows on you but the initial taste is a bit tangy and flowery. Also got the green beans, they were simple sauted but wouldn’t really pay $18 for it next time.

A funky place with spicy vegetarian/vegan options. As a vegetarian, I’ve been seeking restaurants that adapt normally meat-full dishes into vegetarian options, and this place fit the requirements. I got the calamari which was actually made of mushrooms. They were crispy, and the spices were awesome. Full of cumin and I love cumin. The rice cakes were saucy with hints of ginger. The rice cakes themselves were chewy, and I liked how many vegetables they added. The vegan sausage was also quite tasty. The crispy, almost burnt bits were the best.

One of the better Chinese restaurants in New York, IMO. This one is Szechuan and the flavor profiles are spot on every time I'm here.\n\nThis is not a cheap restaurant for Chinese standards. I woul…

Some of the appetizers were really good, but some of the main entrees are hit or miss. The black pepper chicken was the best thing on the menu. I would not recommend the vegetarian ramen.

Nothing special about this place. The food was bland and expensive. Not sure why people raved about the noodles.

I had high expectations from the place but it was a let down. I was excited about a vegan Asian restaurant but the food wasn’t great for the price they asked. The veg spring rolls only had 2 pieces. The chopped cheese rolls were okay. The wonton soup was too salty and not balanced. The moon bowl tasted weird, it was a lot of raw veggies without any broth like I was expecting it to have. The Schezwan rice was nice and spicy but very very oily. All the food came together in one go, and the table was tiny for 3 people to keep their plates and the food. General Asian places are much better, even if they have just 2-3 vegetarian options.

Our expectations were high and honestly we didn’t enjoy the food much due to the crazy spice levels. The szechuan rice was so ridiculously spicy 🥵 I couldn’t even taste any other flavour. The spice in that thing was insane. I ate it bc I didn’t want to waste it but boy was I dyin. The dan dan noodles were alright but the flavour wasn’t fully there either - something was missing with those too. We had to mix the rice and noodles to bring the spice level down. Honestly my bad for not inquiring about it, also the waiter didn’t mention anything about spice levels at all but I now understand with the name of the restaurant being literally spicy LOL Otherwise, the ambience was great and the staff were really really nice. Appreciate the vegan activism in the resto. Maybe we chose the wrong dishes.. 🤔 I was so sad because I really wanted to enjoy this meal. We had minimal days and we picked and chose the vegan restaurants to visit in the city, and when it’s not up to par, it’s a little disappointing.

Ok so I went to this place because of the 4.5 rating 🤷🏽‍♀️ it looks pretty cute and is in good area. But the food was serious let down. I tried the dan dan noodles with “vegan beef” which the server recommended,it smelled weird too. I think the high ratings are from people who are vegan and dont eat regular noodles. I tried adding the chili oil which diner on other table recommended after he probably saw my disappointed face. You can find way better noodles at any regular place in china town 🤷🏽‍♀️ not worth the $25
