Best Contemporary Asian Restaurants in Newington

Great food, great service. I highly recommend this place if you’re in Chinatown or visiting the Smithsonian

Outstanding food. We did family style so we got to have a wide variety of food. Generous portions!

Another phenomenal dining experience at Moon Rabbit. It’s a place I visit every time I’m in D.C. - and tonight’s dinner reminded me why. I had the Chef’s Tour of Vietnam, which was a multi course tasting menu showcasing modern Vietnamese food with French techniques and influences. The level of precision and appearance of each dish was matched by the equally complex and delicious flavors. The emotion and care by Chef Tien and the kitchen was evident in every bite. The cocktail and wine program are well curated to enhance the cuisine, with a nice selection of non alcoholic beverages as well. The world class service and hospitality made the dinner one to remember. I can’t wait to return!

Great experience. The shared small plates were delicious and portion sizes were adequate. Our server was amazing. We will definitely return. Definitely recommend this spot for a date night or special occasion!

I've been to Philippe Chow multiple times and always enjoyed the food and had excellent service. Last night I had the Shanghai Noodles and my friend had the Shrimp Satay with brown rice. We were both very happy with the food. One bit of feedback - service seemed a little rushed - they came to pick up our dishes literally the second my friend put her fork down after finishing her plate. That said, it was a Saturday night and no doubt they had a lot of reservations. Just don't expect a leisurely meal.
