Great food, Had spring & egg rolls, both delicious! We will definitely be going back.

I absolutely loved my experience here! The food was incredible, every bite was packed with amazing, mouthwatering flavor. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, making the entire experience even better. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal, and I'll absolutely be coming back! read more

Late review of this little gem in the heights. Went here to try the food and drinks with my ex gf and we had so much fun. The wings are exceptional. Try them, I love a good Asian style wing sauce and this hits the nail on the head with what I am looking for when I think of Asian style. No notes. Would order just these 9.3/10. Beef carpaccio is not something I would order again. I don't really care for carpaccio to be fair. 6/10. Shaken beef had great flavor, but it was less beef cubs and more big beef chunks. Flavor was excellent, but the beef should be in smaller bites. 7.7/10. The stuffed crab pocket was unlike anything I have ever tried. Great seafood taste in the inside, crispy shell. 8.7/10. The calamari squid dish was nice. Flavor was good. Fresh ingredients. 7.2/10. Drinks and services were really the standout here. Super friendly staff and fun Thai drinks. Cute location and seating. 9.6/10. read more

In the mood for elevated Asian/Vietnamese in the Heights with cool, modern vibes? Check out Moon Rabbit. Made a reservation for 4 via Resy. Easy peasy. We got there 15 minutes before to make sure we could find parking. They have a small lot but all the spaces were taken despite being before 6 pm on a weekday. And a few spots had noticeable broken glass so be careful. We fortunately found street parking close by; double checked the signs because I ain't getting towed for nothing. Then I double checked inside with staff to make sure where I parked was ok. On to the food: we got several happy hour appetizer items: soy garlic wings, Brussels sprouts, bao bun, roasted oysters. All was good but not amazing. I then ordered the pho tai chinh for myself - I was quite impressed with the portions and the price! Wifey got the lemongrass pork banh mi - good but not amazing. Overall I would say the food taste and portions were good, but note this is elevated Asian cuisine, so it'll run you $20-$30 minimum. Now the service - definitely super friendly staff. It was our first time there so maybe they brought out the extra friendliness. Even the chef came out and greeted us to make sure we liked the food. Waitress was very kind and checked on our table a LOT. Almost too much. Overall a good experience, yummy food, not a fan of the parking (a common problem in the Heights), and expensive for Asian food but that's expected. Enjoy! read more

Moon Rabbit is a modern style Vietnamese restaurant that also serves a fantastic drink bar. Upon entering you are greeting by the host and impeccable service at the start to end from the server. The interior is spread out decorated with an intimidate feeling. Not only was it nicely presented, the food came out aesthetically. The food came out so good that I had to order more as to go for later. Highly recommend trying this Asian restaurant out in the area. read more

I made a reservation via Resy for Thursday at 6 pm and the restaurant was quite packed when we arrived. Like most restaurants in the Heights, parking sucks and the parking lot is small. We were able to get street parking close by so it wasn't super inconvenient. The restaurant decor is nothing special. The waitress was very friendly and upbeat and we received water and refills on a timely basis. We were able to take advantage of the happy hour specials (5 pm-6:30 pm). The Brussels sprouts were hot and nicely seasoned. The oysters were very small and the toppings were okay but nothing outstanding. The garlic soy wings were a nice size and tasty. The Banh mi had slightly different bread that I'm used to; a little more airy than I would expect but the bread was nicely toasted. The lemongrass pork was flavorful but slightly on the dry side. My diagnosis: modern Vietnamese food that is pretty good but not outstanding. read more

Came in to eat on a Saturday night around 8PM. They take walk ins, but we made reservations and I am so glad we did. Upon arriving, every table was taken except our table w a reserved sign on it. The restaurant was bustling, but I could still hear my husband over the music and noise. The menu is huge!!! I didn't know where to start. But our server, Vanessa, helped us make a few choices. We started off w bánh xèo tostadas, bánh béo, & carpaccio. Then we had calamari and their steak special. I asked for a side of papaya slaw for some veggies. My favorite dish of the night was the carpaccio. So many flavors perfectly melded together. Loved the crunch of the fried onions and peanuts. 10/10 dish, in my opinion. Authentic banh xèo usually has an airier, crisp crepe, but theirs was more crunchy - great for their tostada take. Very flavorful. Each piece had one shrimp, but plenty of pork belly bites. The nuoc mam drizzled on it was tasty. Fried calamari - this is a big dish for, I believe, $'19. I prefer the dipping sauce on the side so that the batter doesn't get soggy. This did happen here, but it didn't stop us from finishing every last bite. The green sauce was good, not the usual dipping sauce for fried calamari. Steak special - they have another steak dish on their menu, but this one was pepper crusted w smashed potatoes. The potatoes were super crispy and flavorful and the steak was perfectly cooked - a beautiful pink medium rare. The portion was huge and justified the $39 price point. The staple steak dish came with a papaya slaw and I had to have it. It was bright and limey - I can see why they serve it with their steak. Bánh beo - my least favorite of the night. A bit thicker than I like. Still good, but there were a lot of other great dishes that I could easily pass on this one. Try their hibiscus artichoke tea. read more

Went back to Moon Rabbit after 2 years and it was just about as I remembered - good ambiance, friendly staff, and high quality food. We shared the spring rolls, egg rolls, pho, and garlic shrimp - everything was great. They were also baby friendly and provided a high chair and helped adapt one of the entrees so that our toddler had a yummy meal too. Would definitely recommend and will come back sooner next time! read more

Arriving the the restaurant: parking is limited. The parking lot is small so we had to find street parking. This restaurant was very busy the entire time we were here. Staff were slow to bring food out. Some food that was supposed to he got came out hot while others came out cool when it's supposed to be warm. Drinks we ordered were the old fashion and margarita. Both were ok. First up was the banh xeo tostada. This was like a thick banh xeo with all the flavors of banh xeo with shrimp and pork on top. So the banh xeo is the tostado and then the shrimp and pork where the toppings. It was very good and flavorful to me I would eat it again. 8/10 Calamari sautéed with onions, jalepeno and the green sauce. Very fresh and crunchy 10/10. I wished I would have ordered 2 of them. I will come back for this dish. And order some rice to eat with it bc it's that good. Shaken beef: tender and soft. I would recommend it with a side of white rice and extra lime. It came out a bit in the cold side for me 7/10. Shrimp goi-this was just super salty. I think the wrong sauce was used in it. The shrimp in it was very fishy as well. My fav part of this fish was the shrimp chips that I can get at any local Vietnamese shop. I would not recommend this dish. 2/10 My impressions: I was delighted to eat the calamari dish; which is one of my fav calamari dish of all time. That's the only dish I would come back here to eat. Most disappointed in the shrimp goi dish for the saltiness. I don't think the ocean was that salty. read more

Located on 19th st in the Heights, with street parking available near by, Moon Rabbit is a good option for a casual weekday dinner or weekend hangout. The interior is modern and the menu leans towards Vietnamese fusion. We started with a few appetizers: roasted oyster, banh beo, and shrimp & pork belly spring roll. All were solid, my top two were the roasters oyster and banh beo. For mains, we shared a Vietnamese cold cut banh mi, and tried out the bun bo hui and pho dac biet. The banh mi (3/5) was a miss for me, while the ingredients were fresh and the texture was right, the sandwich lacked flavor and tasted pretty bland. The bun bo hui (3.5/5) was decent, but didn't quite deliver the bold flavors you'd expect compared to more traditional spots on Bellaire. The pho dac biet (4.5/5) was excellent, with rich and flavorful broth and high quality beef. Overall we enjoyed dinner. While the price is higher than most Vietnamese restaurants, the quality of the ingredients is noticeably better. I'd come back again. read more

Had a great overall experience. The vibe is calm and inviting, with a spacious interior. There's also a parking lot across the street with plenty of spots, which is a huge plus for the area. The menu has a lot of great options, and the portion sizes felt very fair for the price. I ordered the bun bò Huế, which tasted very clean and flavorful, with plenty of meat. I also appreciated the add-ins, especially the shrimp paste! For appetizers, we had the garlic soy wings and the bánh xèo tostada, both of which were absolutely amazing. The portions were generous and easily enough for four people to share. We also tried the lemongrass vermicelli. The fish sauce was clearly high quality and generously portioned, which I loved. I do wish there had been a bit more meat, as the noodles and veggies slightly overpowered it, but it was still good for the price. Service was solid throughout. Our waters were consistently refilled, and everything came out at a good pace. Overall, a great spot in The Heights with quality food, a relaxed atmosphere, and good value. Definitely worth checking out. read more

This place is highly recommended online and across different blogs so I took the opportunity to see for myself. Overall, I thought the service, atmosphere and food were amazing. This is pretty traditional Vietnamese food and I tried several things on the menu: shaken beef, the tostada, morning glory egg rolls and a drink. The waitress was super kind and attentive, gave me some recommendations and came to check on me pretty frequently. I made a reservation just to be safe and they do have a dedicated parking lot which is really nice in that area. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for some Vietnamese food and wanting great service. read more

First time here came with a friend during their happy hour. Wow absolutely wonderful and flavorful food options. The salt and pepper squid was SO delicious, whatever that green sauce it comes with elevates the plate x10. I could take that sauce home and eat it with everything. Tangy, spicy, but just the right amount of balance to add some freshness to the plate. If you get anything here please try this dish! The garlic soy wings were also really yummy and great portion sizes too. Lots of meat on the bone and flavors all around. The bao bun was yummy but just like your typical buns. The oysters were also really delicious. The vermicelli was a huge portion, definitely shareable for two. There were a lot of greens which kinda overpowered the rest of the dish after mixing all together. This is a cozy ambient spot located in the heights. Great for happy hour or just lunch/dinner. Highly recommend this place! The staff was so friendly and attentive too! read more

Love Moon Rabbit! It's one of our fave Heights restaurants. The food never disappoints!

This is my last review for the 2025 season and I'm happy to report we are ending on a high note. We arrived a little late to our lunch reservation but were promptly greeted and shown to our table. Kate, our server, was an absolute angel. We ordered the following dishes and they all came out in a timely manner. * Thai Tea - (3.5/5) A solid drink. The tea aromatics were hittin'. Could have been a little bit sweeter, thats all. * Banh Beo - (4/5) Simple and fresh. Tastes of a traditional Banh Beo that reminds me of home. * Veggie Egg Rolls - (4/5) Crispy, flavorful, and refreshing. Wrapping the egg roll with lettuce and dipping in the fish sauce is a match made in heaven. Fish sauce tastes better and more creative than other spots. * Bun Bo Hue - (3/5) Light in flavor and aromas but I was able to amend the situation with the provided fermented sauces. Meats were nice and tender, especially the pork knuckle which was fall off the bone. I just wish there was more to fall off that bone if you catch my drift. * Pho Dac Biet - (4/5) Very flavorful yet light and clean on the palate. Exceptional portions of meats, noodles, and garnishes. Sometimes I find pho broths too salty but this was well balanced. It could have a stronger beef stock flavor but I ain't mad at it. The Pho broth was more aromatic than the Bun Bo Hue broth in my opinion. * Miso Marinated Claypot Fish - (3.5/5) The sauce? *chef's kiss* It's not the traditional fish in clay pot I know and love but I see the vision. I need more sauce to eat with my rice. The brussel sprouts were unexpected but cooked to perfection. Overall, lovely service and chill ambience. I could see a cute first date happening here. If you're looking for classic Vietnamese dishes with a modern twist then this is the place for you. I will definitely be back. Happy New Year read more

This place is quite the vibe! It's not very big inside but it's the perfect size. Theres a bar with sports being viewed upon entering and a host station to get seating. Service was great. Very attentive and knowledgeable waitresses. I got the cucumber salad. OMG! Talk about bomb flavors. While on the topic of flavorful I also ordered the fried garlic shrimp. Delicious is how I will sum it up! It came with some type of lime dip and was served in a bed a yummy cabbage. My sister ordered the Miso marinated clay pot fish. Silent scream ... talk about an explosion of flavors. The brussels sprouts were everything. There was a slight kick to the dish but in the best way possible. She also ordered the wings which She said were cooked and seasoned perfectly. We also ordered the pho which came out with all the dressings but I didn't try as I was compelled to finish every drop of My cucumbers LoL I ordered a peach margarita on the rocks which had a burst of delight in every sip. There's seasonal flavors offered here which is a plus. They bring in ice cream from a local creamery which is nice. I wanted to try the ube bc I'm a sucker for it in any form but unfortunately when I attempted to order it had just been sold out so definitely something I'll try next time bc this place is worthy of visiting more than once! My sister got the bread pudding to go so I'm not sure what it tastes like but I'm sure it didn't disappoint. I'll be sure to take more photos before diving in next time. See You next time Moon Rabbit! read more

Came by on a whim, on a random weekday at 8pm this place was pack. Did not realize it was a modern Vietnamese place until we saw the menu. The servers were very knowledgeable and patient with the plethora dishes they offered. The prices were also reasonable for something slightly upscale looking place. We had a few drinks at a different bar and came here for food. We ordered the ribeye steak with sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts. Steak came out perfectly tender and charred right off the grill. The potatoes was soft and creamy. and thr brussel sprouts were well seasoned and crunchy. We alo had the bun riel, for 16 dollars the bowl was large. Not bad price for the area. Well seasoned and love the crab and tomato aromatic. We also order calamari. It was sauced very well and really crispy. Perfectly balanced salty and spicy. read more

My husband and I came for his birthday dinner. It had been on our list for a while. The food and prices don't disappoint. We were shocked at the prices for the quality and quantity of food we received. The service was exceptional! I had just gotten my wisdom teeth removed a few days prior and this was my first real meal. I asked for a fork and knife to cut my chicken, and I also had to request water without ice and both of those things were accommodated immediately. I can't wait to return when I'm a little less high-maintenance. ;) The restaurant was beautiful and well maintained and designed. It was a comfortable space for a lovely evening! They even gave my husband the most delicious bread pudding for a birthday treat. 10/10 would recommend and will return again. read more

Easy to grab a table on a weekday night. There's a small parking lot next to it and across the street as well. This is a cute place serving a more modern style traditional Vietnamese cuisines. We ordered a couple of dishes to share: Chicken goi: shredded chicken was dry. There wasn't enough ginger fish sauce dressing for the veggies to really soak in which also made the veggies dry and lacking flavor. Miso marinated clay pot fish: comes in a small clay pot, better for two people to share. The caramel sauce had a lot of flavors, went perfectly with white rice. Shaken beef/bo luc lac: the filet mignon was super tender. Pretty much melts in your mouth. Salt and pepper squid: fried calamari with a spicy green sauce. The sauce really brought out the flavor of the dish. Beef carpaccio: this was a little on the sour side, a bit too much for my liking. Service was friendly and fairly quick. I do like that they put their own twist on the traditional Vietnamese cuisines while keeping the original element of the dish. There were some hit and miss but overall, delish. read more

First visit and ordered takeout. Wait was bearable during early dinner time. Honey Lime Chicken vermicelli w classic spring rolls; shrimp and pork belly. Also lemongrass sandwich. The sandwhich is a bit smaller compared to California sandwiches but I like that the sandwhich is toasted and have the crunch when you bite into it. Although small size, they make it up by filling the sandwich full of goodies including the meat. Fullness in every bite! Very clean and comfortable dining area. Would love to come back and enjoy the full dining experience. Large bar area where you can also order from the full menu. Looking forward to coming back to try other items from the menu! read more

Moon Rabbit is a cute restaurant in the Heights serving modern Vietnamese dishes. I've been wanting to try this place for a while now. It is pricy for Vietnamese food, but hey, this isn't Bellaire. Our server was very patient and attentive. By the way, parking is very limited during mealtimes. We ordered a couple sharable dishes. Can't go wrong with the classic shrimp and pork belly spring rolls. The server recommended the carpaccio, and I could honestly finish it myself, I really enjoyed it. The blistered shishitos were seasoned with flaky salt and came with a lime aioli. Simple, but yummy. Lastly, we shared the salt and pepper squid. The muoi ot xanh sauce reminded me of Vietnam, and although it wasn't as strong, I would definitely order it again. As for my entree, I ordered old & faithful; shaken beef. The filet mignon was cooked just right. My friend ordered lemongrass pork with rice and a sunny side up egg. She really liked it, and the portion was big. My second option was miso-marinated clay pot fish, which another friend ordered. Moon Rabbit's modernized take on a traditional Vietnamese dish, Cá Kho. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan because instead of using cat fish, they used atlantic cod. Just my opinion, but I feel like a fattier fish would've been better. I'm not sure how to feel about the brussels sprouts; it was good with the caramelized fish sauce, but it felt kinda out of place. If I'm in the Heights and craving Vietnamese food again, I would definitely come back to try more. I got my eye on the fried garlic shrimp next. read more

Moon Rabbit - Shaken Beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Moon Rabbit has a hip, clean space that feels carefully considered, the sort of place where the lighting is flattering and everything appears just polished enough to suggest that someone has thought very hard about how you should feel when you arrive. There is something quietly appealing about that kind of effort, especially when so many meals in the city ask nothing of the eye at all. We had the grilled pork bánh mì, a vermicelli bowl with beef, and fried rice with scrambled egg. The food was all right. Pleasant, fairly priced, and entirely agreeable, though nothing quite startled the senses or insisted on being remembered later. It arrived with a certain confidence, but not quite the kind that makes conversation stop for a moment. Perhaps that is the quiet difficulty of opening a Vietnamese restaurant in Houston, where so many smaller, busier places already serve food that feels almost impossible to compete with. Moon Rabbit is not lacking, but neither does it quite persuade you to abandon old loyalties. In a city where people already know exactly where they go for the bowl, the sandwich, or the plate they trust, novelty alone can only carry so much. What it does have in its favor is restraint in pricing, which feels wise. At these prices, the ambience and newer setting make the visit worthwhile. If that changes, I suspect I would return to the simpler places where the room asks less of you and the food somehow says more. Parking, unfortunately, is close to impossible, so expect street parking and a little patience before the evening properly begins. read more

Didn't have high expectations coming in since fusion restaurants tend to be a miss for me - but I was happily surprised at how flavorful and well executed these dishes were! 4/5 Spring Rolls - I could put the peanut sauce on everything.... The spring rolls were good, just wish there was a bit more shrimp/variety to them. It was light and refreshing for an appetizer, but mostly because it had primarily greens in the middle. I think there was one shrimp cut in half as the protein filling. 5/5 Salt and Pepper Calamari - the first bite was slightly spicy and tangy from the sauce...not sure what it was, but it balanced the crispy fried soft squid delightfully 4.5/5 Shaken Beef - The chunks of meat were perfectly cooked, soft, and not too chewy. I felt like the salad underneath had a bit too much dressing/sauce, but tasted great regardless. This came with a s+p lime dipping sauce for the beef! All in all, I was really happy with the dishes!! Wished a bowl of rice came with the salt and pepper calamari since it was listed under the entrees in the menu, because that was all that was missing. I'd come back for a nice dinner to try some other dishes. A tad high priced for a lunch, but it was reasonable for a dinner. read more

Ordered takeout and all I can say is get the eggrolls!!! Them thangs were crispy and well seasoned, and I'm grateful they included vegetables in the container so I could have a healthy meal lol. The banh xeo tostadas were extra crispy as well and loaded with lettuce. The shrimp on top was flavorful but the pork chunks were kind of dry. The fried chicken banh mi I got was pretty disappointing and pretty much flavorless, but the chicken was perfectly juicy. I'm kind of on the fence about the food but hoping to try more to see if I can change my mind! read more

The service here ruined the experience. The food wasn't bad, we enjoyed the egg rolls and the banh xeo tostada. However, there should be training on hospitality. We got sat down and looked at the menu for a bit. We weren't sure who was our waiter bc no one came up to us to welcome us or order drinks. We waited a bit and noticed the servers were going to other tables multiple times, but not to ours. I flagged down a waiter and asked if we could order. It felt unwelcoming and like a bother that I asked. We got our food and drinks, but it felt like we were excluded. We tried to just ignore it and eat our food, which again was not bad. There was a was a waiter that came by and checked on us and tried to be hospitable, but it was just too late. Overall, food was decent, but service needs to be worked on. read more

If you're able to unstick yourself from the floor, go ahead and find a new place to eat. And if you choose to stay in the sticky domain, avoid ordering the eggrolls, and as I sat here all night, trying to figure out how to describe them, the best thing I could come up with was pork turds: the peculiar consistency of these pork logs and the lack of flavor-- in the turd or the sauce--rendered them largely inedible. The vermicelli was cold and slimy, if not overcooked. The honey chicken was actually quite good, but a questionable color may poison me...pretty tasty though. The sandwich was fine. So, if you do choose to stay, the one delectable thing MR has to offer are the cocktails. So maybe skip the food and go to the bar. Our waiter disappeared for a while, too. read more

Food was good, service was ok. The ambiance was cool. I asked my friends to recommend a spot for me to try in the Heights for lunch. Unknowingly, they both recommended this spot in the same conversation. A quick lookup and I noticed that it's supposed to be Modern Vietnamese cuisine. I was excited to give it a try. I arrived in the middle of the lunch rush, where I had wait about 20 minutes for a table. The hostess kept pointing to the bar, but no seats were available. After sitting down and looking at the menu, I noticed that Bun Rieu is on the menu. This is a common noodle dish that is often overlooked. I grew up with this and, IMHO, it's way better than Beef or chicken Pho or Bun Bo Hue. I was excited to try it. I also ordered the egg rolls and lemongrass banh mi. The egg rolls came, and after snapping a photo, I noticed there was no dipping sauce. The server brought it out after I asked. I ate it like my mom showed me, wrapped in lettuce with carrots and dipped in sauce. It was so good, though the rolls were a bit small. The Bun Rieu came out, without a spoon or vegetables. Asking the server if they normally served it without vegetables, she politely asked if I wanted it. Growing up, I would load this with vegetables with a squeeze of lemon, which only complements the seafood and broth in this dish. The broth was nice, and the shrimp meatballs were really good. But I was missing the crab that I know should be in there. But every family has their own recipes. I just never had it without crab but always with vegetables. The lemongrass pork banh mi came out a couple of minutes later and my order was complete. The banh mi was exactly as I imagined it. Crispy bread, flavorful lemongrass pork and pickled and fresh veges to liven it up. A bit more staff training and better attention to detail would really give me a better dining experience. Still, I will be going back if I find myself again in the heights.ok read more

Great local spot for delicious Vietnamese food with friendly service and a welcoming, no-fuss atmosphere. Their food includes inventive takes on Vietnamese favorites as well as some fusion-type items. We got the tostada to start and then the lemongrass pork vermicelli for the main.
