You gotta try this place - Edit
Once our waiter brought out my friend’s dish, I knew just from the smell alone that it was game over. We ordered the tofu edamame nuggets and those were SO FULL of flavor - so dynamic yet cohesively worked together to create a delicious flavor. They were addicting. The veg noodles are just so so good. You cant go wrong here.
Read morePros: Cool pink ambiance interior and solid music , Friendly and helpful service, Absolutely anything you order will blow ya mind
Cons: Small restaurant so big groups are tough

Enjoyable! - Edit
Tasty and authentic cuisine. Food arrives very fast so that does make me wonder how fresh it is although it tasted great. I wasn't a fan of the lighting in this restaurant and the music was really fast so it would get you to eat faster and get out. But the food was yum.
Read morePros: Extensive menu
Cons: Weird lighting

Inauthentic and Badly Seasoned - Edit
I really cannot understand the fantastic reviews surrounding this restaurant. I visited and ordered a variety of dishes off the menu and was genuinely so disappointed. My dan dan noodles were sweet and tasted nothing like they are supposed to. The mapo tofu lacked ma and the beyond meat overpowered all of its other flavors. Maybe I am just spoiled from all the Chinese restaurants in my home city of Vancouver, but this place was so overpriced, weirdly sweet and disappointing.

Really cute super busy - Edit
Definitely need a reservation to go here- even on a Tuesday night when I went. Super packed. The fried dumplings were great and other things were okay. Definitely was very hyped up and I liked all the food but wasn’t INSANE. but very good though and a fun place to go for a date :)

Everything is phenomenal - Edit
Everything we ordered (and we ordered a lot) was amazing. The pea shoots were one of the unexpected favorites. The kung pao tofu was amaaaaazing. We also had the dry pot, the sesame noodles, and the scallion pancakes, all of which I would eat over and over every day of my life if I could.
Read moreMy father has celiacs and as such can’t eat gluten. We mentioned this to the waiter and she brought over a menu showing all the gluten-free items, of which there are many! Most of the menu seemed to be indicated. The above-mentioned dry pot is one of them.
Decor, atmosphere, vibe are all great. Exactly the funky, fun, small place you would expect of the east village.
Probably the best food I’ve had all year.
Pros: Amazing Szechuan food, Atmosphere, The food again! It’s so good.

Good things come in small packages - Edit
I’ve been twice and had a great experience both times. We’ve probably worked through 50% of the menu and everything was outstanding with the exception of the sesame noodles. The ramen was good but not too exciting. We loved the wontons, mapo tofu, and veggie fried rice. The service was great too. Looking forward to my next visit.

Incredible Szechuan food - Edit
Hard to come by Szechuan style food that is also vegan. I got the Dry Pepper Style which was absolutely incredible, so many different fried veggies, my non-vegan gf got a Dan Dan Noodle bowl with Beyond beef which she was astounded how real the beef tasted, and we shared some cold cucumbers in a delicious chili oil sauce. Brown rice option and pretty fast service. If you go during dinner you'll need a reservation if you don't wanna wait. Wear something bright for the blacklights in the entrance!
Read moreCons: bit pricey

Spicy moon is the go-to place for vegan/vegetarian food in New York. I highly recommend it. Please note that space is limited and you will need to reserve. Try the noodles. They’re just amazing.

Authentic Szechuan for Low Pricepoint - Edit
This place is comparable to Red Bamboo in price point and ambience, but far outperforms it in all capacities- especially flavor! You can get a lot of delicious food here for cheap by NYC standards. I came with a non veg friend who loved it! Everything was so delicious and bursting with flavor. If you get the ramen, I recommend eating it first as it has the mildest flavor and will be overpowered by anything else you eat. Truly excellent place with great service- I was never in want of anything, and my water glass was always full.
Read morePros: Spicy and flavorful food, Great value for money, Excellent service

Very nice place - Edit
This is a nice Chinese vegan place. I did not find the food overwhelming, either in taste or healthiness department, but if you want Chinese food and are in the area, this place is fine; no complaints. BTW, if you don't like spicy food, they have many non-spicy options.
Read morePros: Vegan Chinese food, Everything is fine here
