My party of 2 was sat in the back, with all the dishwashing noise, I was reminded TWICE that there was another reservation after ours so we had to finish in an hour, and the food (Dan Dan Noodles, Lo Mein + Beyond Beef) was meh. I can make better for far less than $100.

Food is great specially the Spicy Tofu bun and Kung Pao Style Tofu. Service is fantastic, very attentive, kind and got served pretty fast after ordering. Tables and chairs are quite small not comfortable for me. Would reccommed for the food and the service. Prices are decent too for the taste and quantity.

We’ve come so many times to spicy moon. I started coming to the first location pre-Covid and remember speaking to one of the founders. The food is phenomenal every time. However, at this particular location, the hosts always tell us that we can only have the table for 45 minutes for a party of three even though we have a standing reservation for weeks. I find this completely outrageous and it really affects our experience of spicy moon and dining. we feel really rushed and feel like we have to inhale our food. One of my friends who loves coming to this place and lives out of town has had surgery on her tongue because of cancer and cannot eat quickly. We shouldn’t have to explain this since we were not sitting at the table for 3 to 4 hours and we had a reservation. It takes us a little longer to eat compared to the average table. She even shared with the server that she had tongue surgery and cannot eat as quickly, and they still rushed us out and cleared our table. You shouldn’t have to put personal health information into our reservations because their turnaround times are absolutely ridiculous. I don’t think we will be coming back as a matter of principle.

Had to sit in the cold because they didnt have space inside even though we had a reservation.Food was Really spicy, I only was able to eat the wonton soup, scallion pancakes, and dumplings which were all good.Drinks were delicious except for some had so much garnish and we barely were able to have the actual drink because so many seeds of fruits in the inside of the glassNot sure i would come again to this location

This was my first time experiencing after many passings and knowing about Spicy Moon. My friend and I met at the train ready for an adventure and all NYC shenanigans! When we arrived, our wait for seating took a few minutes. We got seats on the right near the entrance, thanks Teddy(very hospitable and gracious), Angel(loved ya ?) was our server and patient, informative and kind. It was family style…We ordered Dan Dan noodles with beyond beef, Brussels sprouts, the wontons in chili oil, small brown rice and the Thai iced tea with white rum. After that, it was on and popping! Our food came out with lightening speed, the server(blonde free formed locs) asked if we would like our Dan Dan noodles with beyond beef mixed. Absolutely! It was such a great experience, staff, atmosphere, energy was intentional. McKenna was very nice too, she checked in on us and got us our check. I like how they all worked as a team, I felt at home. Thank you, I’llBe back soon, thinking I try all locations. Please go!!! Ps…we inhaled the goodness so quick and present in the moment pics never realized. It’s good to be present in the moment, makes a great memory. ???

We had a wonderful experience from the food to service. Thoroughly enjoyed an Ube Mule while dining on Cucumber in Chili Oil, Dan Dan Noodles, and Rice Noodles with vegetables. Our server was busy but still very attentive, making sure we were having an enjoyable meal. Will definitely return to try other menu items.

Nestled in the heart of the West Village, Spicy Moon offers a vibrant escape for both vegans and curious omnivores alike. My wife and I recently enjoyed a delightful meal on their heated outdoor patio, a perfect spot for people-watching while indulging in a taste explosion.Spicy Moon lives up to its name – the menu boasts an eclectic mix of plant-based Chinese and Szechuan dishes, all served in a casual and inviting atmosphere. The decor itself reflects this playful spirit, with a touch of whimsy amidst the exposed brick and warm lighting.Our culinary adventure began with the impossible beef dan dan noodles. These were a revelation – the impossible beef had a satisfyingly meaty texture, but the real star was the sauce. Creamy, nutty, and with a subtle kick of spice, it clung perfectly to the springy noodles, making each bite a flavor sensation.Next up was the dry pepper style stir fry. This dish showcased Spicy Moon's talent for balancing bold flavors. The vegetables battered and were cooked to crisp perfection. Each bite was a delightful interplay of textures and tastes.Finally, we couldn't resist the allure of the faux duck wraps. The "duck" itself was incredibly flavorful, with a convincing meaty texture that surprised us both. Wrapped in fluffy pancakes along with fresh, crisp vegetables and a tangy sauce, these were the perfect finishing touch to our meal.Spicy Moon is more than just a vegan restaurant; it's a celebration of bold flavors and innovative cuisine. The heated outdoor seating makes it a perfect year-round option, and the friendly service adds to the overall positive experience. Whether you're a seasoned vegan or simply looking for a delicious and exciting meal, Spicy Moon is a must-try in the West Village.
