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

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.

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!!

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!

The food looked good but was a bit disappointing given all the good things I read online. Below is an itemized review of each dish. Will give it another try in case they are having an off day, but was not worth the price tag.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for awhile and my husband and I finally made reservations and tried it out. First, it’s a beautiful place, loved the way it was designed. We really wanted to love this place but we were disappointed. Nothing stood out about the food. We ordered the beignets and the combination of beignets, prosciutto, “coffee” and duck fat just didn’t go well together for us. The papaya salad was okay, I’ve had better ones and homemade ones so this one was just alright. My husband ordered the crawfish and noodles and the presentation looked great so I was excited to try a bite and it was too salty for us. He finished it because we were hungry but too much salt. I ordered the fried catfish and as I mentioned before, nothing special about it. None of the dishes stood out and the flavors were just okay.

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.

Came here with my family for a birthday celebration and was pleasantly surprised. Though this restaurant is tagged as Vietnamese cuisine, it’s far from the traditional dishes some readers may be familiar with… and that’s not necessarily bad! The menu is a highly modernized take on Vietnamese food, mixing in styles from other genres to create contemporary dishes.

The crawfish noodle, lemongrass pork from Banh Hoi platter and the papaya salad with lychee captured our heart with their harmonious and innovative flavors. It’s evident that the chef has invested great effort in seeking a balance between tradition and creativity, giving us a culinary experience that’s both familiar and exciting.
