Before we even walked into the restaurant, we were informed that the left entrance door had been broken for quite some time. Since we had a double baby stroller with us, getting inside was a bit of a challenge and not exactly the best first impression. Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 3/5 Service - 3/5 Food - 3/5 Parking - Street Parking Atmosphere - The restaurant feels a bit old and dated and could probably use some updating. Interestingly, while the dining room definitely shows its age, the ordering system is modern and up to date. The contrast between the two was pretty noticeable. Service - Service was just okay. This is more of a casual setup where customers place their orders at the counter and the staff bring the food out when it's ready. There wasn't really anything memorable, either good or bad, about the service experience. What We Ordered - -Spring Rolls (Good) -Pho Dac Biet (Special Beef Pho) - The flavor was good overall, but the broth was only lukewarm when it arrived. A bowl of pho really needs to be piping hot, so this took away from the experience. -Grilled Pork Rice Plate - The pork was a bit too salty for my taste and was just okay overall. Final Thoughts - This was an average dining experience. The food was decent, the service was adequate, and the atmosphere was nothing particularly special. Nothing stood out enough to make me want to go out of my way to return, but I also wouldn't discourage others from trying it if they're already in the area. There are simply other Vietnamese restaurants nearby that I would be more inclined to visit first.

The standout for me is their spicy lemongrass pho - I had never tried anything like it before coming here, and honestly, it was kind of life-changing. It's like the perfect fusion of pho and bún bò Huế, with that rich, aromatic lemongrass flavor and a spicy kick that you can level up if you're feeling bold. It's one of those dishes I think about long after I leave. Of course, I had to get a Vietnamese iced coffee (cà phê sữa đá), and it did not disappoint. Super strong, perfectly sweet, and I love that you can actually watch it brew right at your table - it just adds to the whole experience. The vibe of the place is warm and homey, which makes it really easy to relax and enjoy your meal. The staff are always incredibly kind and welcoming too, which keeps me coming back just as much as the food does. If you're in the area and want something a little different from your usual pho order, this spot is 100% worth checking out.

You come here for the food, it's a very no frills place where if you come enough times, they will get to know you. I didn't know what to order but I know I wanted something spicy so I went with the spicy lemongrass pho. With that one, you can pick your protein. I did chicken. It was so tasty and full of flavor. I was overwhelmed by the size of the bowl at first but ended up finishing it because it was so tasty, but more than that, it was comforting on a cold day. I also did the egg rolls, which were so crispy and almost too hot on my first bite of how fresh they were. I was so glad I finally got a chance to visit, it didn't disappoint!!

Service was very kind and they gave suggestions for what was most popular and what they liked, and I went with their suggestions, and it was all so good! The hamachi crudo had a really nice refreshing sauce to go with the yellowtail, and the curry for the duck was really really good. The tofu was what I liked the least because the fry seemed a bit too doughy, and not crunchy enough, and the sauce wasn't the best. Overall very positive though! Definitely recommend this viet fusion restaurant!

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Moon Rabbit on a Friday night. The restaurant was relatively full,…read moreyet we were never rushed or made to feel anything but fully welcomed. There are many tables in the restaurant and it is much bigger than you realize when you first walk in. Our server was extremely helpful, both with choosing drinks and food. I chose the IPA from Brooklyn that I very much enjoyed. My friend selected the the Vietnamese beer that he liked a lot. The ladies enjoyed their wine, my wife chose the one from S. Africa. As this was our first visit, we decided to go with the tasting menu. It has various names as the chef includes different dishes. It includes an amuse bouche, several appetizers, entrees from fish, meat, and a vegetarian choice. I think my favorites of all were the stuffed leaf with wagyu beef and grilled bamboo. The bamboo was sweet and chunky, I had never eaten bamboo-it's great!. Everything we ate was excellent. The pacing of the meal was comfortable: we were able to enjoy each course without hurry but dinner didn't require a 2 1/2 experience. Our dessert was also very interesting with a combination of flavorful ice cream with other delectables. The price of the tasting menu was $95pp plus tax and 20% service already added. I highly recommend this for dinner. I've paid much more for a lot less in quality and quantity in the District.

Please forgive me for posting this so late. But on to the review.... I absolutely love it! The bowl I had, I believe was called "The Works", which included ALL the beef meats & parts such as bone-in rib, bone marrow, oxtail, sliced beef, beef shank, and beef meatballs. I rather not say how much it costs me, but it was well worth the money. I will say I wasn't a fan of how oily it was & they did not give enough noodles for such a massive bowl. But they were sweet enough to give me extra noodles to go without an upcharge, so I greatly appreciate that. This bowl lasted me at least 2 to 3 days for lunch because it was THAT massive. The ambiance was rather quiet but very alluring. There are only 10 seats on a first come first serve basis & I was lucky enough to get a seat a few minutes after showing up. I came there on a very cold Sunday late afternoon/ early evening. The staff was very busy but very kind and accommodating to customers/ patrons. It was great to see the cooks work their magic behind the counter. I highly recommend this place, especially during the fall & winter months. I will likely return in a few months for a smaller bowl as it starts to get chilly out.

After hearing praise from West Coast friends that Pho 75 in Rosslyn serves the best pho in…read moreAmerica, I returned to put that claim to the test. Ordering No. 5 (eye-round steak, flank, tendon, and tripe) alongside No. 15 (eye-round steak), I was immediately struck by the broth's appearance--remarkably clear and seemingly delicate. At first glance, I worried it might lack depth. Quite the opposite. The broth delivers impressive concentration and balance, offering clean, beef-forward flavor without heaviness. Every sip is nuanced, satisfying, and remarkably refined. The assorted meats were expertly prepared, with tender beef, silky tendon, and properly textured tripe complementing the bowl beautifully. Is it the single best pho in the country? That remains debatable. What is undeniable, however, is that Pho 75 serves an exceptionally well-executed bowl that easily ranks among the DMV's finest--and one well worth returning for.
