Moon Rabbit is a highly-regarded Vietnamese restaurant situated in the heart of Washington D.C., drawing inspiration from the virtuous rabbit depicted in the Buddhist Jataka tale. Led by acclaimed Chef Kevin Tien, the restaurant embodies an innovative approach to Vietnamese cuisine, showcasing a menu that is both unique and complex. Chef Tien's main objective is to pay tribute to his heritage as a first-generation Asian American, using Moon Rabbit as a platform for expressing his love for Vietnamese culture and food.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Kevin Tien

From the OpenTable editors: Come to the Moon Rabbit reboot for chef Kevin Tien’s singular approach to Vietnamese fine dining. In a modern, library-like space, his ambitious menu—think Mực Nhồi Thị (squid-stuffed boudin) and Cá Viên (barbecued monkfish with collard greens)—is both rooted in his Asian heritage and Louisiana upbringing while boundary-pushing, for a singular experience every visit.

    The best! We had an amazing time-delicious desserts and appetizers and the drinks! We opted for the prix fix which is a really good deal ($75) per person with plenty of food. I’m going to be thinking about this meal for awhile. Service was top notch

    We had an awesome time celebrating our anniversary here. Very friendly and efficient service. The space we were seated in had a soft and quiet elegance which was great for conversation. The Chef’s Visit to Vietnam was a great way to experience elements of the menu that we might not have ordered ourselves. Standouts included the “snack” and surprisingly- Dessert! Thanks Moon Rabbit Team

    Moon Rabbit was fantastic. The quality, portion size, and flavors were all remarkable. Despite having several rooms for dining, the atmosphere was calm and relaxed.

    Loved the creativity of the cocktails and food. Chef Kevin and his team all seemed to take pride in their work. Each dish was so impressive right to the last course with the savory mashup with the dessert. The service was also on point- from the front door to the table!! Look forward to returning

    A fantastic experience from start to finish. We’ve been big fans of Kevin Tien since the Himitsu days and this was just as amazing as we remembered. Every dish, dessert and cocktail we tried was an explosion of flavors and textures. Standouts included the cocktail with shrimp salt, cumin lamb, crab gnocchi and tofu cheesecake. The space was beautiful and service was just right for our date night. Looking forward to returning!
