Spicy Moon - Bowery

Some of the best tofu I’ve ever had. The drinks were strong & the appetizer buns were also delicious. The Dan Dan noodles can be very spicy so be wary. We got the normal spice at a level 3/10 but that was also super spicy. However, the noodles were delicious! I’d love to come back here and try more items. Highly recommend this place

I am thoroughly impressed with the whole experience my husband and I had at Spicy Moon! First of all, you can't miss it when walking up- the bright pink and well decorated facade ensures this. Once I saw that, I was very excited to see what the inside was going to be like. We were greeted and seated right away, it wasn't overly crowded or anything, we were fairly early on a Saturday, but regardless- this place is huge! The atmosphere is absolutely to die for, and they probably have the most beautiful bathroom I've ever been in. It's comfortable, with lower lighting (but not to the point where it's a struggle or anything) and music is kept at a reasonable level. Every person that we interacted with on staff were wonderful and attentive, but not overly so, which is very much appreciated. We ordered the Thai Iced tea, the Hen of the Woods Bao Bun, Dan Dan Noodles, and Vegetable Lo Mein. We were blown away by the flavor, the smell, the texture, and literally everything about each item we ordered. Each dish was a delight, prepped and cooked perfectly, perfect portion sizes and ingredients that really compliment one another. The price point is higher end, and it is honestly worth every penny for the entire experience. We cannot wait to return to this establishment!

I recently dined at Spicy Moon, and it was an incredible experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish bursting with flavor. The restaurant had a fantastic vibe, making it a perfect spot for a night out. To top it off, the service was excellent – friendly, attentive, and efficient. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience!

Kind of traditional to have entrees come with rice, but we had to order that separately. I get it tho, not everyone would want rice. We really liked the curry style, it was flavorful and contains a little bit of everything: lotus roots, mushroom, snow peas, umm long green beans, tofu skin(bean curds??), cauliflower and broccoli, spicy long horn peppers, golden triangle tofu, and potatoes. Cumin fries were tastyyyy but the spicy mayo is a lil watery, The stir fry rice cake was a table favorite, good for those who arent crazy about spicy. Along with the garlicky pea shoots. The sizzling plate fried tofu is suppose to mimic garlic fish,! It was tasty and pipping hot, w the topping thats diced up mushroom! I was a fan of those diced mushrooms. The wonton soup had seaweed in it very comforting dish cause I eat that at home, but my mom said the wonton filling was a lil spicy. The scallion pancake was not delicious would not recommend. Bathroom is downstairs and lighting is good inside. The restaurant interior lighting is too colorful and overwhelming after a little bit while. Love the staff uniforms, cutesyy.

Came in a bit skeptical of vegan food, but left very I've been to the West Village location and while I didn't enjoy the items I had that time, this time i decided to try some new dishes and I found them pretty tasty. This time, I was with a party of about 15 people and was able to try many different dishes and drinks. Space wise, I wish we had the bigger tables since the tables we sat at were quite narrow and hard to fit a lot of food on. The decor and furniture were nice and I really enjoyed how everything was very on theme. I had a lychee martini which was delicious but I would also recommend the Mango Moon! It had a nice kick from the ginger in it. As for food, this time I went for the Dan Dan noodles, cumin fries, scallion pancakes, salt and pepper style with tofu, and the Kung Pao style with totu. I will say this - they are spicy!! I am not very tolerant of spice but even so, I couldn't help but scarf down all of the Dan Dan noodles. They were very delicious and the sauce on it wasn't too heavy. I enjoyed the fries as well, nice crispiness to them. The scallion pancakes were a bit average for me and some seemed to get stuck together. The salt and pepper style tofu was really too spicy for me and unfortunately I was not able to finish it. However, the crispiness of the tofu and other vegetables added a nice texture that paired well with the style of cook in this dish! Finally, the Kung Pao style with tofu was my top dish of the night. I really loved the sauce and balance of flavors and I found it very addicting that I just kept going for more. All in all, I think I've been able to see vegan food in a better light and would give it more chances. They're definitely creative with the food here. Shoutout to the staff as well, we had such a large party and they handled it with such grace and patience! Definitely a great spot to meet with friends or an intimate date!

We were so excited to visit this place. The super tasty style of cuisine seems perfect for vegan food. Maybe we picked the wrong things, but 4/6 dishes we ordered were extremely bland. And I’m British so I know how bland food can get. We were SO disappointed. The ethos of the brand is great, the space is fun with tons of room. Apparently they are going to start brewing their own beer soon too, which will be cool. I think I’ll give them a second chance as I really wanna like this place.

Wonderful restaurant with excellent! The Food is delicious! We had the lunch deal (Small Bite + Big Bite). -> Steamed Veggie Dumplings + Dry Pot Style -> Cumin Fries + Fried Veggie Rice I can highly recommend! Go in and see yourself. 👌🏻 I also want to mention that the bathrooms are very clean. The atmosphere is great (Interiour design etc is awesome). And to me the most important point is the service: excellent! Everyone was so friedly, helpful and respectful. Thank You guys for the great time we spent here ❤️

Visited here for lunch. This is one of the best vegan restaurants. We ordered dumplings, pancakes, fried rice and garlic noodles. Food was very tasty. Service was excellent too. We really enjoyed our meal here.

Amazing vegan Sichuan food! As a non-vegan/vegetarian, I didn't miss the lack of meat at all. We got the mayo tofu, Brussels sprouts, glass noodles, and dan dan noodles. All of the dishes were great and I would order them all again. They also weren't too spicy either-- I thought the dan dan noodles were the spiciest, and the other dishes weren't spicy at all. The interior of the restaurant is really well decorated and would be great for dinners. I did think the music was too loud though and opted to sit outside instead.

Dynamic hotspot on the Bowery, with ample space for special dining downstairs and a fine happy hour with rosy glows from all the shades of pinks and purples. Ample pours set a decadent mood. The string beans with beyond beef was exceptional, as was the fried eggplant. All the big spices were well-tolerated, and the desserts were sweetly novel. May need some patience with service, busy or not, but the food comes fast. Kind faces all around and relaxing, pleasant vibes.

Cute vegan spot, can hardly tell there's no meat/dairy/eggs. We ordered three dishes for three people and it was the perfect amount of food! The Dan Dan Noodles were springy and had a delicious spicy bean sauce. Kung Pao style was saucy yet crispy, I loved it with some rice. Cucumbers in chili oil reminded me of the cucumber salad at Din Tai Fung, but less expensive! This is a great spot to eat at, before a night out. Everything was great, and I'm speaking as a big meat eater!

If you're vegan or not, and you love Chinese food, you have to come here. I visit all the spicy moon locations, but Bowery has to be my favorite. Wonderful ambience with a larger dining space the food never disappoints and the service from the host to the waiters is impeccable. Love the drink menu , I can appreciate how quickly the food is served .

Every time we come here we have a great experience. I thought the general tsos style was my favorite, but I think the Brussels sprouts might have overtaken them. Cocktails are fun and delicious too. Service can be a little slow, but that just gives you more time to enjoy the cool ambiance inside.

Me and the main guy went to Spicey Moon at the Bowery. My main guy (Ray) took me out for Father's Day since he was traveling the world with JetBlue! I chose the Bowery location because it had more seating the east and west locations were a little more cozy. The food was amazing, the appetizers, scallion pancakes, chop cheese spring rolls, and the steamed vegetable dumplings were delicious. for the main course, we ordered the fried rice with vegan beef general Tsos-style vegetables, and tofu, which was delicious! I like the fact that they have a brewery on-site I chose the Devil's Path IPA was pleasant and enjoyable. overall, I had a really good experience. The service was good. I have no complaints. I would come back again.

I came here once and got two items to go. The chopped cheese spring rolls and the Dan Dan noodles. The spring rolls were great but I found the Dan Dan noodles too spicy. But even with that, I decided to give my usual vegan go to a rest and celebrate my birthday here with a party of 8. Reservations online weren't possible for that party size but they said they could accommodate once we called. Luckily we got a hold of them when we did because it was literally impossible to get anyone on the line once we tried calling again later that day. I even called Spicy Moon East Village with the hope that they may be able to get in touch with the Bowery location somehow but no luck. Thankfully, everything went smoothly once we arrived. We ordered the: Chopped Cheese spring rolls (9/10) Vegetable Fried Rice (10/10) Vegetable Lo mein (10/10) Crispy tofu (9/10) Vegetable spring rolls (I didn't bother tasting because they looked rather dull) Scallion pancake (also didn't taste because dull) General tso mushroom (9/10) Dry pot (7/10) Peppercorn brussel sprouts (6/10) Steamed vegetable dumpling (8/10) I feel like I'm forgetting something but the food was amazing and the aesthetic is instagrammable. I'd do the vegetable rice, crispy tofu and chopped cheese spring rolls when I do come again!

I was visiting friends and they took me here for dinner. I was excited to finally try this place. This location is huge and there is ample seating available. The decor is fun but the music is def on the louder side. I had my friends order their tried and true classic and it didn't disappoint. We had the scallion pancake, the Dan Dan noodles, the mapo tofu, and the wontons. Every single thing was seasoned so well and very delicious. I'm impressed at how much is on the menu and how quickly our order was able to come out steaming hot! If you're vegetarian or vegan, come here for dinner!

This is such a cute and quaint location. We tried the Crabless Rangoon, Hen of the Woods Bao Bun, Chili Glass Noodles with Beyond Beef, Black Sesame Moon dessert, and a mocktail margarita. The star of the show was the Black Sesame Moon dessert. Everything else was good but not amazing. Also, I think we were forgotten about outside since our waiter never came out to give us the check. We had to go inside after a while to ask for attention and our takeout box.

First time I went to their east village location and fell in love instantly. The spice was strong and the food was good. It was a very small place though so couldn't take a large group The Bowery location is out of a dream and has got very chic decor. It's spacious and has couches everywhere. There are booths for groups and tables for smaller parties Unfortunately though the food was less amazing than the first time. The spice kick simply isn't there unfortunately. It's all vegan so that's their USP. I have been multiple times (counting all locations) and these are my go-tos 1. Dan Dan noodles - one of the better Dan dans in the city 2. Kung pao veggies - missed their original dish; it's now on the sweeter side and tbh not for me 3. Scallion pancake s are pretty amazing 4. The bRussell sprouts are my absolute favorite 5. Their string beans are also a must try 6. I don't particularly care for vegan dumplings but that's me I'm guessing Their signature drink the spicy moon is highly recommended :) Overall, if you have vegan friends this place is a must try. Good service, good decor, good food

Love love love spicy moon! A great spot for vegans and non vegans alike because the food is so good. Vegetable based but they're all prepared perfectly. It's also so cute inside and huge!

I absolutely recommend Spicy Moon to anyone wanting amazing food in New York! With an all vegan plant based menu the options are endless. We tired fried veggie dumplings, Spicy tofu bun, Vegetable Lo Mein, scallion pancakes and Dan Dan Noodle. Everything was delicious! We also ordered the pea shoots and spring beans so delicious! The vibes here are great they have a wonderful atmosphere, comfy booths and clean gender neutral bathrooms. Blackberry mojito was delicious and great! Wonderful friendly service and I got a free mochi since it was my birthday ! Spicy moon is on my list every time I head to New York!!

My vegetarian friend was visiting town and I was recommended this spot by a friend so decided to give this place a shot. Vibes: The first thing you notice when you walk in is that it's very dark. There's actual candles on every table that gives it a cute ambience. The decor is a very retro diner mixed with chinese restaurant feel, makes it feel very Chinese American. Food: We got the dry pot style with mixed veggies and tofu along with wonton in soup. I was a really big fan of the taste of the dry pot style, it tasted exactly like some other authentic chinese restaurants I've been to. There's definitely a kick though, and especially with the dark lighting I kept accidentally eating spicy peppers. The wonton in soup was also really good, the aroma of the sesame oil made the soup smell really good and it tasted pretty good too! Overall as a non vegetarian I was really happy with this place, the only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I feel like we got almost no tofu/protein in the dry pot style dish

Deliciousssss! Everything was a 10 - we ordered the tempura eggplant, Dry Pepper Style, Steamed Vegetable Dumpling, and Pea Leaves (sooo good but not pictured). Wow still thinking about this meal. We were so full.

I have always relished the food at Spicy Moon ever since I discovered their first location back in 2022 The Bowery location isn't any different... the quality of the food is just as flavorful but what makes this location special is their clubbing vibe on any weeknight I wanted to get up & dance the whole time I was eating my dinner haha... Shoutout to Joanna!!!

The inside of this location of Spicy Moon is by far largest with several seating areas that are suitable for both large and small groups. The music was lively and lights were dim, felt like the right vibe to get you in the mood to go out afterwards. I also saw there was a sign for happy hour from 4-7 on weekdays, seems like this is for drinks only. The service here was lackluster, our waitress didn't seem eager to answer the questions we had about the menu and didn't check-in with us too often. That didn't dissuade us from ordering away though -- the scallion pancakes were great, I was hesitant to order such a basic appetizer but these were perfectly crispy, soft, and flavorful. The dumplings in chili oil were also delicious, there were about 6 in the order and each was filled with what tasted like minced tofu and veg. The crispy eggplant was my least favorite of the appetizers, I felt that the eggplant was in such large large pieces that it wasn't crispy throughout. The kung pao tofu was my favorite dish of the evening, the sauce had a nice balance and sweetness and heat and the tofu had a light crunchy tempura-like batter. I preferred it to the dry pot style tofu I tried last time, but you can get all of the main entrees with just tofu or half tofu half mixed veg. The lo mein was solid, we got it with beyond meat which added a bit more umami to the dish. Overall, I left feeling very full and happy, there's a lengthy menu that I'm excited to come back and explore more of!

Came here for a friend's birthday and really liked the vibe. It's so pink inside! It was a Saturday night and the place was packed. The music they played was definitely fit for us group of millenials! I ordered the Dan Dan Noodles which was the perfect amount of spice. The drink I ordered I didn't really care for, it was some canned tea. The Buffalo chik'n egg rolls were also a hit. I'd come back just for those!

spicymoon is a vegan Szechuan-style gem! The dim, red-lit ambiance sets the mood for a fantastic dining experience. With a diverse menu featuring small and big dishes, there's something for everyone. The meals are not only delicious but also come in good portions. It's become one of my top plant-based spots, and I'll definitely be visiting again. Check it out for a flavorful journey into vegan Szechuan cuisine.

Spicy Moon shines so bright, That try as I might, I can't resist the cliché: It was love at first bite. And I don't care if that's trite, Because I'm still full of delight, After a glorious dinner on Saturday night. We loved dan dan noodles despite there not being very much chili oil in sight. Of course we had rice (not brown, purest white). Kung pao was delish -- at least, so says my wife; She hoarded it all, the greedy little sprite! But there was no need to fight, Because in the spotlight, Was dry-pepper tofu, all mine, damn right! We got maximum spiciness, which looked like a fright, I wished I had milk to manage my plight, But it didn't need changes, neither big ones nor slight. My only regret? The meal being finite.

Quick drink at the bar in this very fun & Hugh vibes spot. I used to come here all of the time when it was the German beer hall & when they closed they left all of their brewing equipment so the space is definitely interesting. Prices are higher then I would have loved, especially when I found out this is a vegan spot. So I'm not sure if I would do dinner here but a quick drink at the bar was fun. Loved that they had a small brew Asian hard seltzer, love Lunar!!

If you're a vegan or kosher, this spot has extremely flavorful dishes and a variety of spices. The portions were reasonable, some dishes are great for sharing. Service was consistent and the ambiance was chill with great music. Great place for a date too, Would come back!

The staff is friendly, and service is adequate. We asked a variety of questions about the menu items and microbrew. The waiter generously offered to bring samples to try. They were interesting and original, but not to my taste. I could have ordered one of their intriguing sounding cocktails, but decided to skip alcohol. They also have wines, including offerings from Europe and US (an Oregon Pinot caught my eye). We have two less than positive observations: 1. We found the food be rather dull. We ordered the scallion pancakes and some vegetable dumpling appetizers. Both were kind of on the greasy side, lacking in flavor, and the pancake was a bit doughy. I've had much better scallion pancakes at any number of places. I was hoping the dumplings would have some interesting flavors and a nice shell. They seem to have some green (not easily identifiable) chopped green vegetable, and not much flavor. The sauces accompanying both the scallion pancakes and the dumplings were very similar, with very strong and salty flavors. Not much subtlety. We ordered also Dan Dan Noodles and vegetables and fried tofu with garlic sauce as entrees. The noodles were fairly succulent, but had a very strong and not very interesting sauce. The tofu and vegetables were fairly tasty, and the tofu had a nice crunch. The vegetables were mainly broccoli and garlic pieces, and not much else. The sauce was tart and sweet and a bit salty. We didn't finish either of the appetizers, because they were just too doughy, greasy and uninteresting 2. The ambience was the second issue - loud music wherever we tried to sit. We had asked for a quiet place in the restaurant, and tried several locations, but there was loud music playing throughout the dinner. Made it difficult to converse, and although we requested that it be turned down, and was somewhat, it was still quite intrusive. I realize that there's quite a range of tolerance in this area, and we are noticing that many restaurants have music that is simply too intrusive.but that doesn't make it acceptable. Someone who works here needs to pretend to be a customer and take a different view on this unpleasant ambience. I suppose there's a way to enjoy eating here, if you know what exactly to order. But as a newbie, and also someone who embraces the vegetarian and even vegan ethic and flavor palette, I was a disappointed with my experience at the Spicy Moon. In its favor, I will say that the entire dinner with two "small bite" and two "large bite" dishes was under $100. My advice to this restaurant: turn the music down and let people enjoy socializing without intrusion. Find a way to make some more interesting vegetarian dishes with much more flavor and inventive use of a variety of vegetable flavors. That is not saturating your food. Work on improving your sauces.

The food is always good I have to double check it's vegan. I would recommend any type of noodle dish here but my fave is the Dan Dan noodles and mango cocktail

Came here on for dinner on a Tuesday night and was lovely! There's some fun music that plays in the background but not too loud that it interrupts any conversations. The inside is huge and really nicely decorated. We ordered the dan dan noodles, vegetable wontons, scallion pancakes, dry pot with veggies and tofu, and general tso's mushrooms and they were all incredible! My favorites were the dan dan noodles, wontons and scallion pancakes (which were the best I have ever had!). I also got the ube mule and was really refreshing - didn't really get an ube taste but it was still delicious. For dessert we ordered the red bean bun and since it was my friend's birthday, they also threw in a coconut mochi! Both were really delicious. The red bean bun was pretty doughy but the inside was incredible. Food came really quickly and the staff was super attentive. Would definitely recommend!

BEST vegan restaurant I've ever been to. WOW. I'm obsessed, if I wasn't told it was vegan I would have never know. I know why my friends are regulars here. My favorite was the kung pow chicken. I could have had like 2 more plates of it. So delicious. All of the food was delicious there wasn't 1 thing I didn't like. The drinks were great with lots of options. The atmosphere is so fun - we asked for specific music and they played it for us while we had a friends bday dinner. We also brought a vegan cake to celebrate which they handled with a lot of care.

The menu has my whole heart!!! This restaurant came highly recommend from several vegetarians & boy did they deliver. The flavor was absolutely on point! It was spicy, tart, sweet & nothing short of delicious! We tried a handful of options from the menu. Some of our favorites included the bok Choy, the crispy eggplant & all the tofu items were FIRE! If you are visiting OR live in NY .. I highly urge you to go check this place out. It will NOT disappoint. Service was a bit slow at first but food came out pretty fast. The entire restaurant also has a very girly & bright vibe.

Amazing vegan szechuan food at such a BEAUTIFUL and spacious spot with the kindest staff! Got a mix of their top hits. Loved the mala brussel sprouts !! the crispy eggplant appetizers, and the dan dan noodles. Huge selection of unique cocktails too. Got the ube mule ($16) which tasted like a moscow mule, did not taste ube flavor but the color was pretty.

Amazing tasting food! Honestly can't even tell it's vegan. New restaurant in the area so wanted to check it out and it was great. Food came out quick and as ordered

Ambiences fun like eating in a nightclub! This food is amazing and way healthier than what I would eat otherwise. Highly recommend the dry pot if you buy a little spice, with both veggies and tofu... add rice. I have had lots of good drinks here, but with this dinner at the Basil Bliss is perfect

The food here is SO delicious. I've tried their various locations in the city but this was the most spacious. We ordered the Dan Dan noodles and kung pao tofu, which were both so tasty! I would definitely recommend these. Service was fast. My only complaint is that the space was too loud. I could barely hear my friends speaking, even though we were practically shouting. Overall, great experience but protect your earbuds!

Excellent food, great bar program, strong Chinese beer selection, delightful waitress with good recs. Loved the dumplings, beans, dandan, mapo, etc.

I liked this spot even before I shifted to a predominantly vegetarian diet. Now I love it even more. The meal feels incredibly satisfying. The won tons and dumplings are excellent. The eggplant is amazing, perfectly crispy and tender at the same time. The Jiajang mian hits the spot with its savory goodness. Don't miss the brussels sprouts. The sichuan flavor is revelatory. The chow mein is fine but not my favorite. Everything overall is just so good here.

I've gone to the original location in east village and was surprised to see that they expanded! This place is way bigger they have their own brewery in the back. Colorful lanterns and dragons hang from the ceiling. The food came out super fast, suspect that they have premade a lot of items. Good service as well, we got Dan Dan Noodles, now this they say is gluten free but I am unsure what kind of noodles they use because I'm almost certain they have gluten. We also got spinach dumplings and pea shoots with garlic. Pretty good food, ask for the chili oil!!! Pro tip! For dessert got coconut mochi and a black sesame moon.

I love Sichuan food and had tried to go to the East Village location once without a reservation but it was too full. I tried again with the Bowery location at an off-hour and was thankful to get a seat! It's a much bigger location so that helps. However, even though it wasn't busy when we arrived, service was still quite slow. I also found the red lighting to be too dim which made it hard to see the food (very important if you are trying to avoid the searing-hot chilis; also why there are no photos). Those are the reasons I knocked off a star. With that out of the way, the food was delicious, combining authentic spicy Sichuan flavors with effective vegan modifications. We got Mapo tofu, with silky tofu and Beyond beef that lent it an interesting smoky flavor and not in a bad way. We also got the dry pot with both vegetables and tofu, filled with the complex mala flavors I expect. It came with a yummy variety of veggies including tender green beans and snappy lotus roots in addition to crispy fried tofu, but this dish is also where the sneaky hot chilis came in. Even with two tofu dishes, the textures were completely different and both great in their own ways; Spicy Moon would be a good place to convert tofu-skeptics. Textures and flavors considered, the meat was not missed at all. Prices are around $15-20 a dish which may seem a little high for meatless dishes, but the portions are big and I took home an extra meal's worth of leftovers. Overall a pretty solid Sichuan restaurant that can compete with its meaty counterparts, and absolutely unmissable for vegetarians and vegans who may feel marginalized in other restaurants.

this is probably my 5th time at spicy moon and they never fail to disappoint. i'm always amazed at how everything is vegan and i always have a good time here even though im not vegan. i HIGHLY recommend the dan dan noodles, mapo tofu, string beans, and mushroom. Honestly everything at this point haha. the service is also always great, portion sizes are huge, and even the leftovers taste better the next day. will be revisiting over and over again.

New location of the excellent vegan Chinese spot, now in a huge pink location on Bowery near Houston. This is the type of vegan food that is so good you won't really miss or crave any meat in your Chinese food here. For sure get some Mapo Tofu and any one of the stir fry options with some of the great tofu or just mixed vegetables. The menu has tons of options too, so I'll definitely be back soon for lunch or dinner.

Some of the best vegan food I've had. The kung pao tofu and the Dan Dan noodle were heavenly. Will dream about them. The buns and the dumpling were good but nothing to write home about. The restaurant is super cute and photogenic and has loud music.

This is one of my favorite places !!! Completely vegan, has the best vegan food in town !!! Every dish is to die for, you can literally pick anything on the menu and it's fantastic !!! A MUST GOOO

If I could marry a dish, it would be the kung pao dish. My god. The vibes so cute and aesthetically pleasing. Lots of space so im glad they expanded from their small east side location. Also recommend their Dan Dan noodles!!! Food is always on POINT!

Really loved all the dishes here. The dan dan noodles and the string beans especially were standouts. It's a fun atmosphere, with pink/purple lighting and a hip-hop/pop playlist but not too loud that you can't converse. Would definitely return!

I think I might have visited Spicy Moon on the wrong night. We were seated next to a huge birthday party (like 20 people) so the service was terrible. We had to wander around the restaurant to find our server to pay because she never came back to our table taking our order. The music was playing so loud it was like we were in a club. It was good music, but it was impossible to have a conversation. It's not cool when my Apple Watch gives me warnings about the volume level while I am trying to eat dinner... The food was decent but not spectacular. The noodle dish we ordered needed more seasoning, and the dumplings were greasy. I appreciate that is a vegan restaurant, which is why I think it's so popular. And given all the good reviews I would go back to see if I just experienced an off night.

I would fly to New York from LA just to sit alone at the bar eating noodles. Nothing compares I'm actually sad and would invest in an LA restaurant if they were expanding. Vibes and food are both immaculate

Lower the volume and improve the quality of the music. Not everyone appreciates rap music blaring at high volume (even in the bathrooms). Get rid of the screens (if we wanted to eat at a sports bar we would have gone to a sports bar.) Simplify your food by less grease and salt. Be more creative by preparing your food more simply and subtly with more vegetable flavors.

Fantastic vegan chinese food. They were able to fit us in on a Saturday night when they were pretty full already via Resy. Won ton with the hot sauce is fantastic. Scallion pancakes are great. Dan Dan oodle is excellent but be sure to mix it throughly before eating. The sauce is the key and it is on the BOTTOM. Its all good stuff and the prices are decent by nyc standards. At least when outside the direct zone an an indoor speaker the volume level wasn't so crazy I couldn't hear my date which is nice! Maybe it was too loud elsewhere. Hopefully they can seat you away from the speakers.

Love the new location at Bowery Dark, cozy and felt perfect for a rainy afternoon lunch. Everything on the menu is great. Tried the vegetable ramen - hot, comforting, filling and flavorful

***Great Service, Delicious Vegan/Vegetarian Options, Sharable Plates*** I highly recommend checking this place out especially if you're vegetarian/vegan. Reservations are highly encourage because every time I've been here it's been quite busy. The plates are all fairly decent sized portions and definitely you can share them. Every plate we got was a hit so you really can't go wrong in my opinion.

Best restaurant ever and love this new location!! Ambiance is always great and I love the Dan Dan noodles (new favorite, the kung pao style, dry pepper style, and crabless Rangoons. I've already been here multiple times and definitely will keep on eating here!! Amazing service too

Pretty large, clubby restaurant on Bowery that serves some pretty great vegan Chinese food and some of the better Chinese food in the city as a whole. This is the place where you take your non-vegan friends and they forget that what they're eating is plant based. The restaurant is loud with music blasting so you may have to raise your voice a bit when speaking with friends. All the food was great and were pretty authentically Sichuanese. Spicy moon may straight up have the best Dan Dan Noodles in the city. No complaints about the service.
