Spicy Moon East Village
8.6
Buzzy vegan Szechuan spot that nails chile heat, smoky wok flavors, and Beyond-meat comfort without feeling like a compromise. The room is tight and lively, and the kitchen reliably turns out craveable plates for groups and solo spice runs alike.

Dan Dan Noodles with Beyond, Crispy Eggplant in pepper sauce, Mapo Tofu
