Vegan Szechuan restaurant with art-forward vibes and great food
"If you’re looking for vegan Sichuan food, head to one of Spicy Moon’s four downtown locations immediately. All their restaurants have a full menu of dishes that suit a plant-based diet, like spicy wontons with mushrooms, fluffy eggplant buns, and super crispy Sichuan pepper brussels sprouts that we order every time.The Spicy Moon in the West Village has a bigger bar and a mini-lounge, but we prefer the red, darkroom lighting at the original East Village spot, which makes feasting on dan dan noodles and dry pot with tofu feel like an intimate dinner party." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang
"Classic Sichuan dishes get the vegan treatment at Spicy Moon, a cozy space tucked away on the East Village’s buzzing Sixth Street. (There are four locations now.) Options include General Tso’s mushroom and vegetable wontons in chile oil, with bigger plates featuring vegetables, tofu, eggplant, or potato in dry pepper, dry pot, and kung pao styles." - Eater Staff
"Spicy Moon in the East Village serves vegan Sichuan food like dan dan noodles (with the option to add vegan beef), vegetable wontons in chili oil, and mapo tofu that's so good you’ll wonder if the dish is better without meat. It’s a top-notch takeout option, but we also like coming here before a night out. The red darkroom lighting makes feasting on chili sauce eggplant and dry pot with tofu feel like an intimate dinner party. They also have locations in the West Village and the Lower East Side." - neha talreja, hannah albertine, diana kuan, molly fitzpatrick

"This vegan Szechuan restaurant has two options for outdoor dining: a covered area with heat lamps and a few enclosed shacks with no heat lamps. Choose your own adventure based on the weather, but don’t miss the incredible cucumbers in chili oil or the cabbage-mushroom wontons." - hannah albertine
