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.

    Moon Rabbit is absolutely incredible. The chef reinvented Vietnamese cuisine into another level. Unique, well organized and nothing overwhelming. While each dish was great, I was impressed by dessert which is perfectly built.

    The pick up was smooth and instructions for preparing were very easy. Everything was beautifully and carefully packaged. Would have paid money for a delivery option! Turkey took a LONG time to get to an internal temp of 165 - much longer than the listed time. Maybe we did something wrong? Sweet potatoes with the chili sauce were amazing, mashed potatoes and gravy were really good, along with the creamed spinach. Cornbread was a little dry and didn't have a ton of flavor, but was a good sidekick to the rest of the meal. Butter and rolls were decadent. The sichuan green beans were disappointing - they had very little flavor. The pie was good, though the crust was super thick. Overall, a great meal, just would have liked some more flavor/spice for the green beans.

    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.
