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.

    One of the top 3 meals we’ve had in DC over past 30 years. Definitely a place for special occasion - the $85 tasting menu is outstanding and good value. Only the delicious and interesting cocktails pushed our bill up into a top tier in cost. Great service and I appreciated that it was quiet enough to have normal conversation.

    Inventive flavor profiles transform traditional Vietnamese seasonally inspired sharing dishes. Order two dishes per person (or more if you’re starving) and be sure to include the Bo La Lot as one of them. Creative cocktails or mocktails and a well-designed dining room help to round out a nice dining experience.

    Amazing. Really unique twists in familiar ingredients. Our favorites we the squash, hand-rolled noodles, crab Rangoon and the wagyu beef rolls. Amazing. We were too full for dessert after sharing 6 dishes. The service is impeccable. Everyone was very knowledgeable. Water glass constantly filled. The decor is beautiful. Each chef has a shelf to display their favorite things. And every employee is listed on the back of the menu which shows how much care goes into the staffing.

    Our second visit and it was just as good as I remembered. Congrats Thi on the recent Michelin award - well deserved! I would come here for the cocktails alone. Slowly but surely I am going to try every single one on the menu. The crab gnocchi remains my absolute favorite dish but everything is good. We got the pork belly large plate this time but were too full to make much of a dent. Still had to get a tofu cheesecake to go though. We’ll be back!

    Such a unique and exciting dining experience. Every dish was something you’d never seen before, and in the best way. From the bread to the cocktails, the team at Moon Rabbit knows how to create a special dining experience you won’t want to forget. Special mention for the staff that was the icing on the cake!
