Spicy Moon Opens One of NYC’s Largest-Ever Vegan Restaurants

One of New York City’s largest restaurant openings this year belongs to Spicy Moon – an acclaimed Chinese restaurant serving all-vegan Szechuan-style cuisine.

“We are so grateful for everyone who has supported us in this journey to 265”

The new Soho location, situated at the corner of Bowery and Houston, was formerly occupied by vegan gastropub and brewery Belse. The freshly painted building now features a bright pink exterior and outdoor seating. According to its liquor license application, Spicy Moon plans to take over Belse’s enormous brewing equipment to possibly open a new vegan brewery.

Spicy Moon in addition runs an online shop selling merchandise and food products, including its popular Vegan Chili Oil and Vegan Spicy Mayo. Spicy mayo ©Spicy Moon Upon the restaurant’s soft first day earlier this week, Spicy Moon posted online: “S oft debut for our newest location 265 Bowery!
