Crustacean’s Return Is a Fancy, Dungeness Crab-Laden Delight | Eater SF

"After more than 30 years on Polk Street, the 2025 move to the Financial District brings an updated space perfect for power lunches and splurge dinners. Chef Helene An’s legendary garlic noodles and garlic-roasted Dungeness crabs are must-orders, and the Dungeness crab thankfully arrives out of the shell here. A new kohlrabi Caesar reimagines the classic with curls of crunchy kohlrabi tossed in Caesar dressing and dusted with Parmesan “snow” and black pepper; despite the ubiquity of Caesars, this feels like a fresh take with kohlrabi a worthy substitute for romaine. The steamed shrimp and lobster dumplings are also worth a try, hiding beneath a squid ink tuile and soy–mustard vinaigrette; the tuile adds a wow factor to the look and a nice crunch when placed on top of the dumpling for each bite. Do plan for traffic, which can be a nightmare for early dinner reservations as workers make their mass exodus out of the city, or book later. For now, it’s only open for lunch Tuesday through Thursday; much of the dinner menu is available at lunch (including the noodles and crab), and lunch-only specials include a roast half-chicken, a chicken chopped salad, and a standout rib-eye “banh mi” with a pho dip and salad that’s their take on a French dip." - Dianne de Guzman
