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

This place is fine. Service was a bit lacklustre. Wontons in chilli oil were tasty but the bun was very average, only had a tiny bit of filling.

Terrible oily food - Edit
Happy Cow reviewers tend to rate vegan establishments highly and as a vegan, I get it…you want vegan restaurants to thrive; however, this place is just not good. I came here the week before Christmas and had a reservation, yet we were still seated at a cold, tiny table by the door. The table was incredibly small, like I’ve seen bigger end tables, so it was a struggle to get three apps and two drinks to fit. There weren’t chairs but instead these little stools to sit on and no place to put your winter coat, so I had to fold mine up and sit on it. The food was either tasteless or ridiculously spicy. A bottle of still water cost $10! One bao bun cost $8! My husband had a non-alcoholic Thai iced tea that was possibly only one cup in volume that was $14! Now I understand that this is NYC (I lived in BK for over a decade) but c’mon! Small portions, terrible tasting food, high prices, AND horrible ambiance… how does this place get good reviews?! The only redeeming quality was the staff. Our waiter was attentive and kind and the host was friendly. Aside from that, I don’t understand how this place has repeat customers. Two stars for it being vegan and having nice employees but do yourself a favor and try vegan dim sum in Chinatown, or Zen Vegetarian in Flatbush where you will enjoy your meal and save a hundred bucks.

Cons: Food, Price, Table and stools

I have yet to go, in SPITE of being a NYC resident. Apparently, I haven't been missing anything - and oily food? Nope, that's a definite pass. Thanks for the honest review.

So yummy - Edit
The decor, service, and food was wonderful! Very quick! We had the Dan Dan noodles w vegan beef and the mapo tofu w a side of rice - so yummy. The drinks were a bit expensive but not out of range for the West Village. Cupcakes are pretty good too :P.

They Don't Miss - Edit
You come in here knowing it's a vegan restaurant, but honestly, once you take a bite you'll forget because everything tastes awesome.
Read moreHad their beyond fried rice, dan dan noodles, chopped cheese spring roll, and shiitake bao. The chopped cheese spring roll sounds whack, but I would've eaten a whole basket if they had given it to me. Couldn't fit the crabless rangoon in my stomach if I tried, but that looks tasty too and something I miss a lot since I became vegan.
Definitely coming back here.

Yum - Edit
I’ve been to one of their other locations before so I knew what to expect - yummy food. My only complaint is that I absolutely hate that the menu writing people just assumed that every one is very familiar with Szechuan cuisine so the menu is basically just dish names without any descriptions. Well, I’m not everyone so I always end up pestering the servers…ordering ends up a very inefficient and long process.
Read moreOther than that, I’m always happy to return to Spicy Moon and wouldn’t be ashamed to bring a carnist here.
Cons: Menu lacks dish descriptions
Ameisherry
It’s a chain store, they actually have three locations , did you try all three? Each one of them are very different. The one that I’ve been to the waiter is actually Latino though lol and I heard he only work there three days, and I went at Jan 3rd, which means someone just quit right after the new year count down lol, too much stress ….

Yesss I’ve been to their other locations. The waiter this time also wasn’t Asian to my surprise, but he was very knowledgeable about the menu and very sweet!

Tasty tapas - Edit
Spicy Moon checks all the boxes: fun vibe, shareable tapas so you can sample a lot, and delicious food.
Read moreThis is a popular place so you might want to get a reservation. Note that apparently they have a 10 minute late policy and won’t seat you if your full party isn’t there yet. They also asked us to leave after about an hour so it’s not a restaurant you can just hang out at.
Pros: Setting, Tapas style
