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
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!
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.
I could eat these again and again, so good with good Spice level without setting your mouth on fire. I will definitely order these again #veganisnotscary
Asked for a 7/10 on the spice level and it was absolutely amazing. Will be coming back for this.
