Dan Dan Noodles are recommended as Spicy Moon's most popular dish, so we felt it would be good as one of our entree options. It's made up of warm flour noodles in homemade chili oil, sweet soy sauce, sesame paste, and sesame oil. It's served with scallions and we added Beyond Meat for an extra $4. Unfortunately, I wasn't really into this. It was sweeter than I was expecting, and the sesame paste gave it a flavor I wasn't really a fan of. I was also surprised by how spicy it was! They show how spicy things are on the menu with zero through three peppers. This one only has one, so I'd be interested to see what a three pepper dish like the mapo tofu would be like! I don't think I'd be able to handle it. #dandannoodles #noodles #sesame #soysauce #chili #chilioil #sesamepaste #sesameoil #scallions #veganbeef #veganmeat #spicy #chinesefood #manhattan #newyorkcity #nyc #beyondmeat #whatvegansslurp

I've never had crab rangoon before, but I understood generally what I was getting into because cream cheese wontons were my favorite food as a kid. These ended up being my favorite dish of our lunch here! The inner vegan cream cheese with "crab" was so creamy and delicious. It wasn't too fishy and I don't think I really noticed the "crab", just really good vegan cream cheese that had a pink hue. #crab #veganseafood #crabrangoon #creamcheese #ditchdairy #chinesefood #asianfood #sweetandsour #deepfried #manhattan #nyc #newyorkcity

Spicy Moon is one of those restaurants that seems to show up on everyone's favorite NYC restaurants list if you ask. I made it my first stop after checking into the hotel this time! This East Village location is tiny! We went around 1:30pm and all the tables were full except for one two-top and the two seats at a bar looking out the window. Since we didn't have a reservation, the server had us sit at the window, which was perfect imo. I was happy to people watch and just look at the beautiful flowering trees of NYC! This dish has such a wide variety of veggies! I noticed, pea pods, broccoli, cauliflower, pepper, onion, potato, Chinese eggplant, and lotus root. I also saw two types of mushrooms; I think it was black fungus and shiitake. On top of all that, there's thinly sliced tofu that did a really good job of soaking up the delicious sauce! Unfortunately, this dish does not come with rice, so you need to add it on for $1.95 (or $2.95 for brown rice). At least the portions are large! #stirfry #broccoli #cauliflower #peas #peppers #onion #potato #eggplant #aubergine #chineseeggplant #lotus #lotusroot #tofu #mushroom #blackfungus #shiitake #chinesefood #asianfood #rice #manhattan #nyc #newyorkcity #eatyourveggies

Every dish we had here was DIVINE, including this huge bowl of dan dan noodles!! Flavourful minced meat, noodles had a creamy soft texture and portions were generous. In total we shared 3 dishes between the two of us but even then it was alot and we ended up with leftovers for every dish to take home. Wish we had more space to try the other dishes, I loved everything we ordered!

Needed my spicy cravings sorted and this hit the spot 🤤 Succulent veggie dumplings bathed in szechuan chilli oil, gave my tastebuds a much needed zing! Definitely a must order if you love some heat in your food 🔥

When we ordered this I did not expect it to come in THICC generous slices so this was a pleasant surprise! Batter was delightfully crunchy and eggplant was still slightly juicy inside. The sauce also tasted amazing. We were 2 pax so this was a hefty appetiser that’s better shared between 3 pax…we had to takeaway 😹

The star of the meal. The real deal. The Kungpao Tofu 😍 y’all, it was perfection. The outside was super crispy, with the sweet and salty contrast of sugar and soy sauce. The portion abundant and fulfilling, with all the right veggies. 18.95$ well spent. #sichuan #chinesefood #newyorkcity #nyc #vegantravel #veganchinese

The most expensive string beans of my life🥲 they were excellent though. Also essential to a real Chinese meal. They were 16.95US$ + 2 extra dollars to add Beyond Meat , which we of course chose to add. Just perfect, juicy and meaty. Lovely patio with a view of NYC😍 #sichuan #veganfood #veganrestaurant #newyorkcity #vegannewyork

We ordered scallion pancakes to accompany our lunch. I have to say they didn’t really remind me of the ones I used to eat in China, but they were good nonetheless. I mean, they are fried, how can they be less than yummy? 🤣 8.5$ , a bit pricy for me but well, it’s New York City… #sichuan #veganchinesefood #veganrestaurant #newyorkcity #vegannewyork #scallionpancake

This mochi was a very nice treat at the end of a hot meal, but it was a bit pricey. The hazelnut chunks were very nice, and the chocolate flavor isn't too sweet. #chocoholic

This dish was much much spicier than it looked, but I was still able to enjoy the other flavors. The sauce seemed to have a lot of sesame oil and was very rich. The Beyond Beef crumble also had a great texture and taste.
