Spicy Moon did not disappoint! The flavors were bold and delicious — I truly enjoyed my experience here. It’s a cute, cozy space with a great vibe. The host at the front was extremely kind and welcoming. The food? So good — as you can see, we basically cleared the plates! I did have one issue with an eggplant dish that was unfortunately inedible for me, but the server handled it gracefully and took it off the bill right away, which I really appreciated. The energy of the space was everything. It started pouring rain after our meal, and they kindly let us wait inside — we chilled out and enjoyed their playlist, which was soooooooo GOOD. The ladies working there were absolutely fabulous. The men in shirts? Let’s just say they could use a touch more Junoesque charm . Overall: amazing food, great vibes, and kind service. Would definitely return!

Spacious place nice vibes. It is one of those ultra dim moderate music place where it is difficult to read the menu. The food was decent. The general tso chicken was great. The shitake bun was too sweet. Schezuan fried rice grows on you but the initial taste is a bit tangy and flowery. Also got the green beans, they were simple sauted but wouldn’t really pay $18 for it next time.

I found this place via online recommendation when I searched for vegetarian restaurants and I have to say that I was delightfully surprised at the flavors I got to experience here. The dishes are typically cooked with tofu and mushroom and you can have vegan add ons for a little extra . I bought the chicken and broccoli and the chili glass noodles with vegan beef. The chicken and broccoli sauce was a bit sweet but my favorite part was the crunch of the cauliflower and the dish was still very tasty. The chili glass noodles were not as spicy as I expected them to be but they packed a slight punch and highly recommend this dish if you want something spicier. I can’t wait to come back and try out more of the dishes here.

Our dinner at Spicy Moon was delicious. We tried Dan Dan Noodles that had a nice flavor profile to it and not spicy for us. We also tried Veg Steamed Dumplings that were good and Veg Lo Mein, which had more of sweet profile and Veg Fried Rice which was good too. The interesting appetizer was Taro Fries,which was thinly sliced and deep fried. They also drizzled some honey on these fries which was pretty delicious. In short, the food and service were pretty good and I would definitely recommend.
