Moon Rabbit is a stylish Vietnamese haven where creative twists on traditional dishes delight, complemented by warm service and a cozy vibe.
"A restaurant co-founded by Susan Bae and Chef Kevin Tien during the pandemic, where she leads an all-female pastry team." - Nancy DePalma
"Celebrating Women's History Month with a dim sum and desserts dinner featuring six female pastry chefs, all James Beard semifinalist nominees. The event includes savory and sweet pastry courses and a takeaway dessert box." - Emily Venezky
"Run by Chef Kevin Tien, known for its Bún Chả Hà Nội and other innovative dishes, ideal for celebrations." - Michael He
"A Vietnamese fine-dining restaurant that was previously located at the InterContinental Washington, D.C., known for its innovative cuisine and recognition as one of the best restaurants in the country by Food & Wine readers." - Tierney Plumb
"After closing at the Wharf last spring, James Beard-nominated chef Kevin Tien’s fine dining Vietnamese gem made a triumphant comeback to D.C. in January. With fresh Penn Quarter digs comes all-new dishes filled with his familiar contemporary touches. Highlights include koji-marinated cumin lamb, aromatic perilla leaves stuffed with beef wagyu, and impossibly soft dinner rolls from pastry chef and fellow James Beard Award finalist Susan Bae. Bar manager Thi Nguyen, a Punch finalist for bartender of the year, whips up a savory Out Of Dipping Sauce cocktail that makes creative use of Tien’s fermented fish sauce. Moon Rabbit 2.0 isn’t done yet, with plans to add a next-door cocktail room and Vietnamese bakery soon." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
