Crab dish. It used to be a great place for vietnamese crab. but now it changed , maybe a new owner , do not order crab out of shell. they sub crab meat with spyder crab insted of more expencive dungeneese, but charge the same. I will not eat there again.
Fabulous !. We came in from texas, staying at a nearby hotel that recommended this restaurant to us . We were so happy with the cracked version of the dungeness crab and garlic noodles that we came back 2 days later for the exact same thing. The first night there we were seated upstairs . The second time we were seated downstairs. We plan to go back next time we are in LA .Eating crab can be a mess obviously but they do give bibs and nice steamed hand towels .
Real Asian. The staff is off the boat . Really great to take clients . Super fresh fish swimming right before you eat it . Decor moving water in the place what work . Saki is the thing . Shrimp the size of your hand wow
Secret ingredient: s%#*load of butter on your garlic noodles and crab. Heavy and unhealthy. Old-fashioned whitebread Americans will love!
You must be kidding. Dirty, over priced, sad, ugly patrons, obnoxious service, warmed up fast food, loser joint – stay at home and order pizza.
The food is great upstairs and downstairs. The food and atmoshere is wonderful! Salmon and garlic noodels was just fantastic and I’ll even try eating downstairs too. One thing I don’t do is go out to dinner on any Hallmark Holiday. Even the best resturants have a difficult time maintaining quailty and service for the masses that believe in that type of hoilday! Eat well and enjoy this place, it’s great!!!
Great food but…. If I could give this place zero stars I would. My boyfriend and I had been to Crustacean once before and really enjoyed their Garlic Dungeness Crab and Garlic noodles. So when Valentine’s day rolled around I suggested we spend our first Valentines day here. BIG MISTAKE. The hostess sat us upstairs which at the time I thought was way cool since I’d never eaten upstairs before but this time the circumstances were different…i’ll get to that later. First the menu was a special Valentines pre-fixe menu that was $95 each with an added on 18% gratuity. If I had known this we probably could have waited until Monday to go but my boyfriend is so wonderful he didn’t even blink at paying that price. The first course was an array of weird stuff I guess the kitchen just wanted to try out, ahi tuna on a tortilla chip, hamburger on a stick (was yummy), watermelon, and shrimp wrapped in some kind of seaweed. Next came our crab and garlic noodles which was just as yummy as I remembered, and then dessert, some cheesecake puff and chocolate pudding thing that they could have kept in the kitchen. But overall the meal was good, not $95 good, but good. Now let’s go back to revisit that seating arrangement thing. After we were seated upstairs I looked around and noticed that there were quite a few African American couples seated around the dining room and as the night went on the tables around us filled up with more African American couples which struck me as odd since I remember the clientele during our previous visit had been very mixed. So when my boyfriend got up to go downstairs to the restroom I jokingly told him to see if there were any black people downstairs. Much to my surprise and lament, when he returned he told me NO. Dinner came and went and so we got ready to leave. I really thought my boyfriend was joking around when he said there were no black people downstairs until I got down to the last step to enter the downstairs dining room where there were nothing but white couples and a few Asian people sprinkled in here and there. I was totally shocked and my boyfriend had to grab my hand and pull me towards the exit because I was just in awe at how different the dining room was. I mean we’re on day 14 of Black History Month and this restaurant looks like Woolworth’s in 1962. Needless to say, the CEO is going to hear about this and I suggest that everyone on here rethink going to this restaurant that obviously doesn’t believe in treating their customers equally.
