The Moon Rabbit comes from a folktale shared across many parts of Asia. In one version, a deity visits earth in disguise, asking animals for food. An otter brings fish, a monkey offers fruit, but a rabbit, having only grass, offers himself instead.

Moved by this act of humility and sacrifice, the deity brings the rabbit to the moon, where he lives on as a companion to the moon goddess, often depicted preparing the elixir of life with a mortar and pestle.

You can still see its silhouette in the moon… if you know where to look.

We recommend the one on 10th St NW next to Ford’s Theatre, directly across the street from us. Limited street parking may also be available.

Come as you are comfortable! Most guests opt for smart casual or cocktail attire. Some dress up for a night out, some don’t.

Because of how our menu is built, certain allergies may change the scope of your experience. The more we know (and the earlier we know it), the better we can do.

A 20% service fee is added to your bill, of which 100% is distributed to our non-management front of house team as wages and benefits.
