About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

Enjoy one of three tasting menus with options of three courses for $65, five courses for $85, or seven courses for $105 with each menu including a few fun surprises. Due to the nature and style of our Restaurant Week menu, we are only able to accommodate gluten-free, pescatarian, vegetarian, and vegan diets. Unfortunately, we are unable to adjust for specific allergies such as alliums, soy, onion, or garlic, which are present throughout the menu. We hope to welcome you on another evening when we can better tailor your experience.

    Went for a birthday dinner, and we were blown away. We had a great server, Amanda, who offered excellent recommendations when we had a few questions. Great lighting, and not too noisy even with positive energy throughout the dining room with servers chatting up guests and delivering plates. Not a disappointing bite the entire evening. Would love to return at some point. Highly recommended!

    We absolutely loved the experience. Our server was so knowledgeable and made our night that much better. Best of all was the unique menu and dishes which you could sense the chefs heart and soul in the dish. We will go back next time we are in DC.

    Incredible. Service is top tier and the team are so knowledgeable about their craft. They are also so proud of their chefs- and for good reason. To Chefs Kevin and Susan- that was the best meal we have had in DC. And thank you to the entire MR team for making our experience memorable.
