    The food is always good and service is great! Big space so good for groups, well air conditioned and kid friendly!

    My girlfriend and I had a wonderful night out last night, and we started the night with a great dinner here. I ordered the Krunch Roll platter and she ordered California Rolls which was very similar to mine. We both ordered two glasses of their Merlot wine, while we were perusing their extensive menu and having a great conversation. The sushi chef was on his game last night and he did a great job preparing sushi for everyone. From the moment we were seated, until we finished our meal, everything was outstanding. The restaurant is beautiful and it was not as busy as we expected. It was a team effort, and they really do have a great process. After dinner we spent the rest of the exciting evening enjoying the Waterfront and surrounding area.

    I honestly don't know why this place has bad reviews. It's literally one of the best Thai spots in Navy Yard and has always been my go to spot! We got the smoked salmon rolls which were so good! I got the basil fried rice and my friend got the pad thai. I meant to take pictures but by the time I realized, the food was gone. Waiters are attentive and food was delivered fast.

    Hands down some of the BEST Thai food I've had in my life! I dined with two of my friends, one of whom is vegan and we were all in awe of our dishes. We will definitely be back!

    The service was excellent. The sushi tasted awesome and the atmosphere was peaceful. The waitress was prompt and on point the entire time. We told her at the beginning that we had to leave at a specific time...she made sure we were out by that time. Excellent customer service.

    This quaint restaurant is in a great spot one block from the Navy Yard waterfront. It was not as busy as the restaurants facing the water. It was quiet, dimly lit, and traditionally decorated. We enjoyed the various focal points around the room. Given that it was just an hour before closing, there was only two other parties dining in the restaurant at the time. I can't speak to how they are on a busy night. However, they were very attentive, friendly, and informative. Our appetizers and entrées arrived quickly. They were hot and delicious. We loved that they looked like the photos on their website. We received a generous portion of food for the price which was reasonable. Check them out if you are ever in the Navy Yard area.

    It was a beautiful day and they wouldn't seat us on their awesome and huge patio :( that was a big disappointment. However, the ambience is nice inside and the pad Thai was tasty. I also enjoyed the Thai iced tea. Service was very fast. It's the only Thai in the neighborhood so I'll be back I'm sure haha.

    A group of us were taking a boat ride from Navy Yard so, we wanted to have dinner first. After a quick vote we landed on Thai food. We were a group of six. We were greeted and sat immediately about 5ish on a Friday night without a reservation. Once seated our server was NOT friendly at all. I mean short and rude. I'm unsure why she was so rude since the restaurant just opened at 4:30. The menu was reasonably priced and there is quite a variety to choose from as well as sushi. I do think that it's a little unreasonable to charge an additional $4 to add broccoli to any dish broccoli is just a vegetable and pretty cheap to come by. The food overall was delicious and very flavorful and they understood spice levels well. We didn't order any drinks so I can't give my opinion on those. Of course the gratuity was included in the check since we were a party of six, but our server definitely didn't even deserve that. Overall I might order to go because the food is good, but I definitely would not sit in. We should have went to the Mexican restaurant ‍

    6-10 Piece Shrimp Tempura Roll & 6-10 Piece Spicy Crab Tempura Roll

    Not sure why this business has 3 stars. I went friday night after leaving a winery tour since my friends and me were all craving sushi. This was right across the street from District winery. I ordered miso soup and a green salad to start. It was cold outside so the Miso soup hit the spot. The salad came with a peanut dressing. The peanut dressing was very potent so I was not a fan. They didn't have any other dressing choices so the server recommended a sweet & sour sauce. It was good. I was able to enjoy my salad. For dinner I ordered two sushi rolls. Their prices were reasonable. I order a shrimp tempura roll & the spicy crab tempura roll with cream cheese and eel sauce. They were both very delicious. I am glad we checked out this place. I would recommend you try it out for yourself dont go based off that 3 star rating.

    Pad Thai Noodles (Chicken)
    Rachel S.

    Good option for take-out sushi and thai food in Navy Yard. I order everything mild because the spiciness levels are quite high compared to some thai spots. The pad thai has good flavor without too much greasiness, and the basil fried rice is phenomenal (very spicy though). Their sushi is fresh and decently priced.

The layout is interesting -- there's an upstairs when you walk in, but the sushi bar and a good bit of seating are downstairs. The menu is pretty straightforward with a mix of hand rolls, appetizers, specialty rolls, nigiri/sashimi, and traditional rolls. They also have a few solid combo deals, though I usually prefer trying a variety of items instead. Service was quick, which is always appreciated at a sushi spot. We ordered a few specialty rolls, two traditional rolls, and a couple orders of sashimi, all served together on one platter. The rolls were a great size -- filling without being overly large. The sashimi was fresh, and the traditional rolls really balanced out the meal nicely. The flounder and tuna sashimi were both excellent, and the California roll made with real crab was simple, fresh, and really satisfying. The total came out somewhere in the $70 range, so after tip and splitting it between two people, it was about $40 each to try multiple rolls and sashimi. Definitely fair pricing for the quality and amount of food. This spot had been on my list for a while, so I'm glad I finally made it over. I'd recommend checking out the menu beforehand so you can go in with a game plan and try the items that stand out most to you.

I ordered the 5 set hand roll with Hottie scallop, Kanpachi, Torch me slowly, Spicy salmon and Mango Tango. I loved the flavors of each one but the wrapping was tricky. Some of the rolls wouldn't come off because the wrapping had a lot of moisture so I ended up just eating it deconstructed. I prefer how Kazu Nori gives you each roll one at a time to prevent this. Overall great hand rolls but it's super messy so I'd give it a 3.8/5.

I can honestly say it exceeded my expectations! First, let's talk about the view--absolutely stunning. Our table offered beautiful views of the water and skyline through the large windows. Although it rained for a bit during our visit, it didn't take away from the experience. In fact, watching the rain against the backdrop of the water and city made the atmosphere even more memorable. The ambiance inside Moonraker was incredible. The décor is elegant and modern, and I especially loved the statement lighting above the bar--it added the perfect touch to the overall aesthetic. While the entire staff was wonderful, I have to give special recognition to two standout team members: Jarae and Amber. Jarae, the hostess, was warm, welcoming, and made sure we felt taken care of from the moment we arrived. She checked in throughout our visit and provided exceptional customer service. Amber, our server, was simply top-tier. She was professional, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about both the menu and local attractions in the DC area. Her food recommendations were spot-on, she kept our drinks refreshed, replaced our utensils between courses, and made sure every detail of our dining experience was seamless. The sweet birthday treat that Amber and Jarae surprised me with was the perfect finishing touch and made my celebration feel extra special. The food was another major highlight. We ordered the Maryland Crab Fried Rice, paired it with the cod, and I also tried a sushi roll (I can't remember the name, but it happened to be Jarae's favorite--so definitely ask for her recommendation!). The cod was perfectly cooked and practically melted in our mouths. The crab fried rice was packed with real crab, and they certainly didn't skimp on the portions. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and worth every penny. Overall, I highly recommend Moonraker. It definitely gets busy, especially around the bar area, so I strongly suggest making a reservation in advance. Between the breathtaking views, amazing food, beautiful ambiance, and outstanding service, this is a place I'll absolutely be returning to--especially this summer to explore more of the menu. We returned the next morning for breakfast, and the excellent service continued. Elene was our server, and she was absolutely wonderful--friendly, attentive, and very pleasant throughout our meal. She made our breakfast experience just as enjoyable as our dinner the night before.
