Even a Heatwave Can't Beat Lunar's Spice 🔥

Calling all spice lovers in NYC — Lunar serves legit, fiery Chinese “Jianghu” cuisine that even my Hunan‑born friends approve of! 🌶️ We started with their crispy golden sesame tangyuan — fried until crunchy, coated in Sichuan peppercorns, with a sweet black sesame center. A brilliant sweet‑spicy combo! 👍 The ginger‑blast tender duck 🦆 was chopped fine with bone‑in, packed with bold flavor and serious heat — perfect over rice 🍚. The Sichuan peppercorn poached fish took 20 minutes to arrive (a good sign — definitely not pre‑made!). The fish was tender, fresh, and soaked in aromatic numbing broth — highly recommend! Even the simple hand‑torn cabbage 🥬 was vibrant and spicy. Every dish had me reaching for tissues! To cool down, try their rice‑wine‑style cocktail — refreshing and great for balancing the heat. We ended with jasmine ice cream 🍦 — floral, creamy, and the perfect finish on a sweltering day. 📍 Address: 12 E 37th St, New York, NY 10016 If you’re craving authentic, mouth‑tingling Chinese spice in the city, Lunar delivers in every bite.
