Moon Rabbit DC

Moon rabbit 2.0 pop up. I heard good things about the original so I came over. Nice open ambiance at the end of a food hall. Tables are really close together so you'll be one big family. The menu differs from the original spot but everything was delicious. The server said I couldn't go wrong with anything and I didn't! Lots of different flavors. Impeccable presentation. My only complaint was the service charge not including the tip.

We came for the lunch.
The chicken salad is good and authentic. They also have different options for the dessert and the cake we chose was tasty.
However, the Chicken pho I ordered was too bad. $19 for a not authentic Vietnamese Chicken pho.
The taste was ok, however, chicken pho can not be mixed with beef slices inside. The broth was not proper either since they added mushrooms and the flavor was similar to duck noodle that my friend ate with me on that day. Not to mentioned the bad bean sprouts they served me on that day.
Hopefully that was only once in the blue moon. They really need to focus on the food quality to deserve with the price they charge.

Modern Vietnamese at the wharf, a must stop. I loved the lemon grass chicken salad, and chili wontons, and the fried cat fish had so much flavor. The three appetizers were enough for probably five people. The main meal that ginger scallion fried rice the grilled pork. The gumbo ramen was smokey although a bit heavy. The fried flatten chicken was also perfectly fried. For desert, don't skip the ube donut. Very attentive and friendly service.

Fabulous lunch. Beautiful venue on the wharf. Service was excellent. We ordered 5 dishes between three people. Good size portions and everything was delicious and homemade. Bottle of wine is very reasonable as well. We even had a carrot cake dessert with cream cheese icing highly recommend

Great food, solid service & great ambiance. We had a reservation at 8:30 pm but it took 20-25 extra minutes to get seated. After we were seated, nearly everything went well. One piece of advice to management: consider fixing the table and booths. For the entire experience, while sitting alone in a booth, my booth kept sliding back and forth. Additionally, it took barely any effort to slide the table. Unacceptable for fine dining. HOWEVER, the food was amazing! Our waiter was attentive and quick to serve. I recommend!

This place was outstanding!! We were referred here by the owner's brother who happened to own a restaurant we tried in Louisiana and boy are we happy we came because Moon Rabbit was awesome! We started with the cornbread which came with butter and cane sugar syrup on the side - superb!!

We ended up ordering their shareable tray of food for our entree which was an absolute deal considering it could easily feed three people. It consisted of a smokey sweet pork, crispy duck leg, brisket, salt & pepper shrimp, raw veggies, and noodles. The pork and brisket were my favorites but it was all cooked to perfection! My bf had a mezcal cocktail that was delicious and not shabby on the alcohol although I cant recall the name of it. Definitely give this spot a try!

Honestly, a disappointing experience. It was decent! But not what you’d expect from a Michelin star. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but overall it felt like another flashy restaurant without any substance to back it up.

I’ll start with the best- the catfish! Spicy & great flavors! Would recommend trying!

The biscuits and gravy were hard and burnt on the bottom. The gravy had a lot of grease that had separated so overall it looked unappealing.

The dumplings were fine. Nothing else to really say about them.

I would contemplate trying again — but definitely walked away disappointed after hearing all the hype.
