Gone downhill. Crustacean BH has been a staple of our family for years. My late grandmother celebrated her 80th birthday there and we love to go with friends, clients etc. We could always count on their excellent food & service. I've noticed blips and slip ups since the pandemic but nothing like the disaster of our Christmas Eve family dinner.

Made a 7:45p reservation for their special holiday Christmas Eve dinner. Upon arrival, made us wait 20 minutes for our table. My MIL is 82. Not cool. What was point of the reservation?

It took the server 15 minutes to take just the drinks and appetizers orders. So more waiting. We ordered:

A mocktail (they were out of the lychee cloud that I wanted. How?)
Cocktails:
Passionately in love
U-be mine

Starters:
Caviar & langostine rolls
Shrimp dumplings
Wild mushroom wontons
Tuna cigars (added later)

Mains:
2 orders of crab
2 orders of garlic noodles
1 spinach

Dessert:
Lychee sorbet
Warm beignets

Service was a DISASTER.

First the server did not KNOW which drinks were what. I cannot drink alcohol. I had to ask twice if he gave me the mocktail. After thinking, he finally confirmed.

Then he proceeded to smoke the entire table and hand the WRONG drink to my son who informed the server, nice smoke, but I ordered the U-be Mine. Again server looked confused. Said ok you can keep this drink. No one wanted it because no one ordered it. SMH.

Then he gave the last cocktail (again called it by the wrong name) to my other son.

Two of the starters arrived but not the langostine rolls. We ordered/added tuna cigars as we were still hungry. That arrived within 5 minutes, still no langostine.

A busser comes and starts clearing and changing plates. I tell him, WHERE is our caviar & langostine appetizer? He says let me check.

The main dishes arrive, we're happy as we were hungry and service was so poor at this point. Busser clears table again, drops silver on my arm with food. No biggie, it was an accident. Thank you for my dry cleaning expense on my new jacket.

Finally the langostine appetizer arrives. We were told our original order went to another table. Great. Honest mistake but why did it take until AFTER the dinner to arrive. It's a starter for a reason.

We order dessert. As we're waiting they are clearing the table NEXT TO US and they drop silverware which clangs to the floor and noodles fly up into my hair. My husband and I laugh at this point. We're like wow the bussers are really dropping everything tonight. Again, we say nothing. We are having our family holiday dinner and didn't want to make the evening about these crazy mishaps but really Crustacean?

We have dessert, it's delicious.

Then the bill arrives. It has the wrong drink in there. Why? My husband and I are trying not to get upset. It's Christmas.

We tell the waiter. He profusely apologizes and tells us he's removing the langostine appetizer. Ok fine.

Is this acceptable? The bill with tip was over $750. Cost was not an issue, we like this restaurant, but do you think Crustacean should have made this right? Many high end places would have said, we comp'd your drinks or dessert for all the mishaps.

We did not make a big deal in the moment. I have serious reservations about returning when the vibe now feels like "Vegas marketing" and not a high level, quality dining experience.

Overall the food was still delicious, hence the 2 stars & we tried hard not to dwell on the many little mistakes. But unfortunately many little mistakes ruin an evening to be honest. Once, twice you can let go but 3,4,5 mistakes is downright sloppy & unacceptable. This is a service issue.

I hate to say this but I think I would be reluctant return or recommend this place anymore. There are so many amazing restaurants that can rival the mediocre experience we received. And for the holidays too. Very sad at the decline. Think twice before booking here or know what to expect before you go.

They charge hidden “tax fees” at end of your bill . Food was good but they try to take advantage by taxing extra fees for staff. Why is the customer responsible for paying tax on BOH tax.. it’s a total scam and rip off to customers who pay a lot of money to eat there. We are already paying 20%+ in gratuity and they want to charge more $$

I’ve been an avid fan of crustaceans for over 20 years on December 22 I and three other friends, wanting a guest went to crustacean’s for the awesome experience. They’ve always displayed the experience feel short whereas the food was good. There has been a changing management and it reflected badly and was disappointing. Just a few items to point out there was no cap on the signature dish of crab in the shell. They did not have any beer. They do not have any mints. The waiters seem a bit off. They were approximately five various groups of possibly 3 to 5 persons in the entire restaurant which should’ve been a signal there was an additional cost of service once we receive the bill the attentive nest often provided at crustaceans wasn’t displayed by the servers. There was no walk around of management to see how you were doing sadly, going to have to take a step back and crustaceans ownership. May want to take a look at the new management that is now handling the company very sad and I may have to pull back on my January visit with two clients.
For the money he spent at crusta‘s at a whopping $130 for the crab, which had in short gone up over a three month period. We’ve gotta do better.

We are here from the 1990s, 2000s. The food is cooked by Miss Ans at the time. We are here today. The foods we order 6 items, especially the crap out of shell, the taste is like a regular chinese seafood restaurant, all the fry rice is so salty and oily. We are very disappointed it. The food is not cooked by her anymore. I don't recommend spending your $$$ here. You can try it and give me the truth comments afterward.

Do you wanna see a fish channel under your feet? So fun to walk on the glass, and see the fishes under swimming here, and there in a sort of serious restaurant. It felt like a dream eating here although I had heard a lot before eventually came here. High-end service, good table manners, vivid natural vibe I mean the fish, and all the good reputation. A definitely iconic restaurant in BVH.

We were surprised that not all this time was perfect. Bill nearly $300 without drinks .
Loved appetizers , samplers ones, but lobster 🦞 with pasta super expensive and Chevy, hard to even eat. What’s going on here? We were celebrating big birthday and chose you guys, because food was always the best! Not at this time☹️
Sea bass was not to much flavor. Brucellosis sprouts were good .
Lobster definitely needs to be fresher! For that cost😅
Loved new seats on the house, but got to be more !
Hopefully next time

Birthday dinner with family. The atmosphere and interrier were beautiful. Service was impeccable. The food was disappointing, the waygo was tough and I'm thinking having the staff try to bring it out and cook at the table was awkward, and felt rushed. They really tried to get it perfect, but I feel it was a huge waste of money. The famous garlic noodles are meh. Other family members had the garlic crab and stated it was really good. . They automatically bring bottled water to the table for everyone. I feel the appetizers are better than the main entrees. I feel this place is really great for ambiance appetizers and drinks. Sadly my brother-in-law received a small scoop of vanilla ice cream for his birthday. I feel the restaurant could have done a lot better considering I spent almost $1,000 on this meal including tip. It was a nice one time experience but I would absolutely not go back. Tip: the garlic noodles can serve 2 people The filet mignon entree was kind of tough. The staff are wonderful.

Caveat emptor!!!
Server didn’t mention the market price for adding crab to the $22 noodle dish. $130 for a crab. More than doubled the meal price. Granted, my fault for not specifically asking, so I paid… will still never return. Don’t want to need to protect myself while having a gracious experience..

I rate my recent experience a 2.5, but I would normally give Crustacean a 4. My wife and I had dinner there on Sat, 9/28. The food was very good as usual, the waiter was very good, but the rest of the experience was a ZERO!!! They had the door facing Little Santa Monica open for most of the evening making it pretty cold inside, which I could handle, but several little bugs landed on our plates. I told one of the floor people about the bugs and asked that the door be closed. He came back several minutes later and said the door couldn't be closed. After a couple more bugs landed on our plates and on the table, we asked our waiter to move us to a table further away from the door or simply ask management again to close the door. A few minutes later the door was closed. A manager never came to speak with us. We did see a few more bugs after that, but didn't bother bringing it up again. This was a very disappointing experience.

Today was my birthday 🎂. I wanted nice ambiance, good food and excellent service. Crustaceans 🦞 is the place we started with champagne, crab 🦀 cakes and delicious delicate wontons, truffle Caesar, accompanied by lemon drop martini and for main course garlic noodles & Dungeness Crab. Absolutely delicious 💕

專程嚟食蟹,但係啲蟹唔新鮮,因為早已烚熟然後再煮,同我哋係三藩市食嘅時候有天淵之別,如果為食蟹嘅話完全唔值得嚟,可能因為嚟呢區食飯嘅人,出街唔想用手食蟹,所以餐廳會幫你先拆肉再次上,等你唔使用手食,就係因為咁便要先烚熟啲蟹先拆肉然後再賣出嚟。

Crustacean never disappoints, and our recent visit was a testament to its enduring excellence. Celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday with their Power Lunch was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm welcome from the receptionist set the tone for a fantastic meal.
We were seated at a corner table with a lovely street view, adding to the overall ambiance. Our waiter, Sean, was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and full of great recommendations. His enthusiasm for the menu was evident, and his suggestions were spot-on. We started with the Ube cocktail with Kalamansi, which sparked a fun conversation with Sean about Filipino cuisine and a local Filipino restaurant he recommended owned by a former co-worker at Crustacean. A fellow Filipino success story that was heart warming:
A special touch was Sean offering us a taste of the iconic noodles, even though it wasn’t part of our pre-fix menu. The appetizers were delightful: my girlfriend enjoyed the Philly cheesecake ravioli, while I opted for the upgraded yellowtail sashimi. For the main courses, she had the scallops ravioli, and I enjoyed the white fish on a bed of rice with silver noodles. Each dish was meticulously prepared and incredibly flavorful.
Dessert was a highlight; we were surprised with all four kinds, each adorned with a candle for the birthday celebration. They were all delicious, capping off the meal perfectly.
The ambiance at Crustacean remains as iconic as ever, with its beautiful modern Asian decor enhancing the dining experience. The impeccable service and fantastic food make it a top choice for special occasions. Parking is convenient with initial two hours free across the street, making the visit stress-free.
Having dined at Crustacean for decades, it’s reassuring to see it maintain its high standards and continue to impress. It’s a place that keeps us coming back, eager for the next memorable experience.

DRINKS
The lychee cloud and yin yang drinks were amazing!

FOOD
Garlic noodles were good!
Turmeric white fish was soft and moist not bad at all.
Pineapple yellowtail not bad definitely gives off a fresh vibe
Dumplings were okay, but if I came back it would be a combo with the garlic noodles.

SERVICE
Entire staff was friendly and attentive no issues at all

My wife and I hit this place the last time we were in Beverly Hills, and I gotta say the sea bass I had was so good it rendered me speechless. I was literally dumbstruck at how tasty it was (seriously, ask my wife, she was having a good laugh at my expense). It was a perfect fillet, cooked to perfection. Add a side of the famous garlic noodles and start with the Tuna Cigars. The whole meal is best described as being "life-affirming." Also, the service was crisp and professional and the place had a relaxed vibe. Will definitely return the first chance I get!

Crustacean Beverly Hills is a dining experience that never disappoints! From the moment you step in, you’re greeted by an elegant and inviting atmosphere that sets the tone for a fantastic meal.

The menu offers a stellar selection of dishes, and the An’s Famous Garlic Noodles are an absolute must-try. Every dish is prepared with care and precision, delivering fresh, vibrant flavors that keep you coming back for more. The seafood is always top-notch, and the warm, inviting service makes the meal even more enjoyable.

The attention to detail from both the kitchen and the staff is evident, making each visit a memorable one. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just indulging in a great meal, Crustacean continues to exceed expectations. I can’t recommend it enough!

I really liked the place. Very classic the decoration, a little sad those fish on the floor I know they live in optimal conditions but it's sad to imagine you're one of them trapped there, anyways, service is great and fast, very knowledgeable of the menu. Food is so good, best steak I've ever had or at least top 3, desserts are great, the banana one not so much only the ice cream in it. We got seated in a space which used to be a four seat table now divided into two 2 seat tables, it's basically like having dinner with the other compelled, a little uncomfortable. I got steak that is cooked at the table so even if the other ones don't eat meat or smell good they're gonna be impregnated with that smoke. Other than that everything is great, very busy, better to call in advance.

My family, visiting Beverly Hills for the first time, sought an upscale and memorable brunch experience during a weekday. Making a reservation at this restaurant was a breeze, even during the busy lunch rush hour. The detail-oriented and brilliant five-star wait staff ensured our service was prompt, which we appreciated given the tight schedules of relatives working nearby. Several of us opted for the brunch specials, while I followed the host’s recommendation. The food was beautifully plated and met very high culinary standards, and I particularly enjoyed their coffee, a welcome treat before my 6-hour drive to the Bay Area. However, the brunch offerings didn't quite meet my expectations and seemed to pale in comparison to what I suspected might be available for lunch or dinner. Despite this, the beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, and seamless service nearly made for a complete five-star experience. I’m quite sure I’d return to try their dinner menu—if I can manage to get a reservation!

Just got back from dinner with my wife at Crustacean. Beautiful inside. Our lead server was Sean who was very knowledgeable, personable and funny. The rest of the service was also excellent. We started with the salmon and yellowtail sashimi - the fish was super fresh and the sauces, esp on the yellowtail, were superb. We then had the prawns with garlic noodles and the Dungeness crab fried rice - both outstanding texture and flavor. For health reasons, we added the Brussels sprouts which were the best i have ever had. Even though we were quite full, we had a scoop of the jasmine frozen yogurt, which was so good that we asked Sean to find out and tell us how it was made so my wife ( a gourmet cook!) can try and duplicate it. A fabulous dinner!

We came for a birthday celebration. I hadn't been to this restaurant in years but the service was still impeccable and the food delicious. It's a typical Beverly Hills restaurant so don't expect a lot of food for your dollars. We were all still hungry after the 6 of us spent almost $900!! (Yes. $900!). But again, everything was great. Drinks are tasty and unique but not very strong. Vegan garlic noodles were delicious with the heart of palm crab cake and the beef. Don't know if I'll be going back any time soon unless someone is treating me though. The atmosphere is lovely especially with the open patio area.

I was absolutely excited about going here, only to get here spend $400.00 and honestly didn’t mind, however I was extremely disappointed in the way I was treated, because of a tip! We tipped twice and that wasn’t sufficient… So am I supposed to not eat, so that my gratuity can be better!! I say maybe lower the price, and then the gratuity can be better!! And remind yu I’ve tipped the parking attendant, on top of paying for my parking… and I
Could see if the waiter was doing an exceptional service for me and my party! No, only rushed me to give him back the shell of the lobster, almost made me feel they recycled the shell, very small portions.

Outrageously priced for terrible food, sorry to say. This beautiful restaurant that has been in business for over two decades and has good reviews by some, it was a failure in my opinion.
Loved the atmosphere (floor designed aquarium, beautiful color theme…). Tastefully designed setting, with great service. However that where the positive features end. The waiter was explaining various options on the menu, and one of them that caught our attention was, “multi generation secret recipe” part. Naturally, we decided to try this secret. The fried rice was bland devoid of any Asian spices, the noodles were lacking the flavor one would expect of any Asian dish. The fried eggplants were okay. The crab was definitely overrated. No soups on the menu (soup options are always good idea, especially when the weather is still cold). The vanilla ice cream was melting upon arrival and the coconut flavor was left out of the coconut ice cream. Not worth $750 for party of four.

Honestly this place would have gotten 5 stars across the board. I did the power lunch with the garlic noodles. I was in a rush and couldn't finish all of the options at the restaurant. I asked if I could get a to go container for my current dish a box the rest to go. I paid and left a really tip just to find that my to go bag was missing one of the dishes. I couldn’t turn around due to an appointment so it will be a loss. Other than this everything was excellent.

A truly excellent dining experience. The price points are high but you get what you pay for: great great food, decent people, wonderful surroundings, and an elevated cuisine.

Everything is good and you can choose any item and won’t be disappointed. If you do you want to pick on one item that doesn’t excel, you can skip the Ramen Casio e Pepe. It’s still good, though, but you’re better off with anything else.

I cannot emphasize enough how good the Marry Me Chicken is.

Went to Crustacean in Beverly Hills for lunch to celebrate a birthday, and it nailed it! Started off with the Yin and Yang martinis, which are a must - perfectly balanced and so refreshing. The tuna cigars were my favorite - absolutely incredible and a must-try. Then came the lobster and shrimp dumplings, out of this world with their flavor and perfection. And the crab with noodles? To die for. Plus, the service was fantastic. Can't recommend it enough!

Top notch. For appetizers, tried the dumplings, coconut shrimp and several other things. All was delicious and well made. Didn't care for the duck pot sticker but that was a matter of preference. We both had the garlic noodles and the Garlic Roasted Dungeness crab, one in the shell and one out of the shell. Incredibly juicy and well seasoned. Some of the best we've had in the US.

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. And so many amazing options for my Vegan wife. I can't believe they don't have a Michelin star, they certainly deserve one.

And the tableside Ice Cream is one of the most amazing things I've ever had for dessert. It's like a whole show. The presentation is out of this world.

Wow! The remodel looks amazing. The food just seemed like it had more flavors, garlic noodles, roasted garlic crabs, fried rice, lobster, calamari, and bok choy. Service was great from our waiter Andrew to the valet who took the car. Phenomenal !

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Crustacean, one of the best brunch restaurants in Beverly Hills. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service. The atmosphere was chic and inviting, making me feel instantly relaxed. The menu had an extensive range of options, and I opted for their famous lobster Benedict. The dish was an absolute delight! The poached eggs were cooked to perfection, and the lobster was incredibly tender and flavorful. The accompanying hollandaise sauce added a creamy richness that elevated the dish even further. I left Crustacean with a satisfied smile on my face, already planning my next visit!

I got invited to the power lunch summer social - they’re trying out their new power asian fusion menu and it was amazing. The dumplings and wontons were insanely good, the best I’ve ever had. Their meatball was also really flavorful - also the best meatballs I ever had. The interior experience was amazing, you walk in and beneath you is a tank of colorful fish, the design of the rest of the space and seating is just gorgeous. The service was intentional - you can tell they make an effort to make you feel honored and comfortable. The mock tail and cocktail were also so good; I had the crimson spice mock tail and it had a taste of ginger and it was just so good. The power lunch menu is designed for people to pop in and out, 39$ per person which is pretty good. It was a three course meal and everything on it was just delicious. Great place to have a quick lunch with a client or business partners, it’s classy, upscale and very Beverly Hills. Would highly recommend coming here and trying their lunch menu if you’re looking for something nice but don’t want to break the budgets — their dinner menu gets more expensive. The waiters were super accommodating as well. Highly recommend coming here for a meal! Experience, food, a tomo sphere were all amazing. Would give it 6 stars if I could!

Visited Crustacean on July 2, 2023 for dinner for a 70th Birthday celebration . This has always been one of my favorite restaurants but this evening the restaurant was so not functioning. Waited 20 minutes for cocktails and they were wrong. Waited over an hour and half for appetizers and they actually forgot 2 dishes. Dinner arrived and they forgot one dinner so one in our party had to wait 20 minutes for their dinner, by that time, all the others had finished their meal. Then it was time for desert and this time 2 out of the three deserts were forgotten. They did not get one course correct.The service was the worst I ever experienced in any restaurant, yet alone one at a restaurant of this caliber. I will not be returning nor will the other 3 couples that joined me. The service was so bad, that no one really enjoyed their food and it ruined the 70th birthday celebration. Beware this place is terrible.

Terrible. Used to love this restaurant. No bread offered. Paid over $300 for simple pasta and chicken soup for 5 people. Nothing special at all about the food and limited options on what to order. Appetizers are crazy expensive for tiny portions that we had to fight over. The salmon sashimi was terrible. Never again.

I recently visited Crustacean Beverly Hills for their brunch, and I must say, it was absolutely amazing! The variety and quality of the food left me in awe. The chef definitely knows how to keep things exciting by changing up the menu often. The mushroom blue cheese ricotta ravioli I had was simply divine; each bite was bursting with flavors that made my taste buds dance with joy. Even a simple salad with candied pecans had a delightful twist that made it stand out. The attentive and friendly service added to the overall experience. Whether you're a local, a visitor, or just passing through Beverly Hills, I highly recommend Crustacean for an unforgettable Beverly Hills brunch. You won't be disappointed!

Crustacean Beverly Hills exceeded all my expectations when it comes to their food. It is truly amazing! The flavors and presentation of each dish were impeccable. I have to admit, it does get quite loud during peak times, so if you prefer a quieter dining experience, it might not be the ideal choice. However, if you can overlook the noise, you're in for a treat. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality and taste of the food justify the cost. Don't miss out on this brunch in Beverly Hills gem!

The food is still good. The service is still good. However, given the ambience prior to the renovation--how outstanding the former ambience and decor once was--the latest renovations looks terrible. The old bar was one of my favorites. The new bar has shrunk-to the max. The old restaurant was colorful and gave hommage to vietnam/far east decor. The new renovation looks like it was designed to please a kardashian's neutral palette. Vastly different in ambience. Same tasty food, same high quality.

Let’s start with the customer service: attentive, friendly and you could tell they were genuinely passionate about service to others. Then the food was delicious, the crab combination with the secret garlic noodles.. best I ever tasted! The beets cavier was well done and my first time eating something like that. Bone marrow too was great, I would caution to watch the salt.

This was our first time back since they re-modeled the restaurant. We sat in the warm inside dining area and it was very comfortable. We were greeted by the general manager and Luis was our waiter. Luis proved to be the best and very accomodating. This was my best meal while in Los Angeles. We ordered the Crab with the garlic noodles paired the a cloudy new zealand savignon blanc, which was perfect. We also saw the "mama" who we said hi to, have to tip your hat to her for all she has accomplished.

Food is overly expensive and taste is average. Famously hyped garlic noodles and prawns was a disappointment. Noodles were dry and rather tasteless. Not enough prawns. Ten dollars for small loaf of bread. Waiter disappeared for a long time after we received food. We had to flag down other staff.
This place is riding on past publicity. Doubt return visit.

This place was pleasant although the Ann’s secret garlic rice was bland, boring and hard. Nothing secret or special about that.
The sushi starters were nice but overall the vibe of the restaurant was a bit weird. Didn’t like the maze of rooms and the decor was quite mismatched.

I think I’ve done it. After being a massive foodie for years and trying so many different restaurants all over the world, I think I’ve found my new favorite restaurant. It’s Crustacean Beverly Hills, and it is everything I want in a restaurant!!!

The atmosphere, the service, the food and the whole experience is top-notch. This place is absolutely amazing. So what did we get that was so good?!

We ordered the: An Sun Family Tree to start, which I HIGHLY recommend. It has many different appetizers that you can split between 2 people (if you’re struggling to choose because they all look good, this is the way to go) - our appetizers were the Signature Crab Puffs, Wild Mushroom Wontons, Filet Mignon Satay, a special Vietnamese meatball (which I can’t remember the name), and a special rabbit dumpling as well! Literally every single appetizer was exceptional - not a single one we didn’t like! I would order all of them again. Such a great start!

For drinks, we got the Crimson Spice and Lychee Cloud mocktails. For mocktails, they were REALLY good. I would get 10 of these drinks if I could!

For our mains, we split the An’s Famous Garlic Noodles, Crispy Orange Peel Chicken, and Kung Pao Eggplant. The garlic noodles are a must-have - our waiter Aaron said it is like their bread and butter. You NEED to get at least one order of this. The orange chicken was the best orange chicken we’ve ever had by far, and the eggplant was amazing! I don’t even like eggplant and never would normally order it but I would get this every time I come back, it was that good!

Finally, for dessert we ordered the Cherry Bomb Alaska, Vietnamese Coffee Beignets, and a Vietnamese iced coffee and hot tea. The coffee and tea were perfect, beignets rivaled the best you’d get in the heart of New Orleans, and Cherry Bomb Alaska was to die for! They use real cherries and the flavor is just amazing!

The best part about the meal was the service and the overall atmosphere. We came at 2 pm on a weekday and it was quiet - not very busy at all. The restaurant is so nicely decorated - they even have live fish swimming in the floor!! And our waiter was awesome. His name was Aaron and he was so helpful with suggesting all the best menu items - really a great guy. All in all, this was the best restaurant we have ever been to, and we will come back again and again! Crustacean is a 1,000,000/10!

Went to Crustacean for a celebratory dinner with my wife. We ordered a couple of their “small plates” along with their Lobster and Garlic Noodles and House Special Crab.

Overall our experience was good, food quite tasty just missing the level of service and ambiance to put it in a Top Restaurant category and certainly not worth the $500 for dinner for 2.

Good but not fabulous.

Everyone that interacted with us during our dinner was so kind and very attentive. Our dinner was perfect we were a group of 8. We are definitely visiting again and recommend to anyone. This is an amazing restaurant for the whole family my son and nephew had a great and fun time. Lastly let me mention the valet service was great. ** Thank you! Crustacean team**
