About this restaurant

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.

    Nice interior, good ambience, good service. It got louder towards dinner peak time and was sometimes hard to hear server's explanation of dishes. Dishes were good overall. Some of the desserts were experimental and savory. Wasn't bad but not sure whether I like them as desserts.
