"Crustacean has resided on the same Beverly Hills corner since 1995, undergoing a complete interior makeover a few years back. The brunch menu offers a playful approach to dim sum (and tribute to its matriarch Helene An) called “an sum” with duck potstickers, vegan crab rangoon, or beignets. Larger plates include ube soufflé pancakes, a Wagyu crispy rice Benedict, or the breakfast fried rice. The pop-lini cocktail is a must-try with Prosecco, Wakamono peaches, and white peach sorbet." - Eater Staff
"For more of a lunch splurge, head to the famed seafood restaurant Crustacean in Beverly Hills. The $45 menu includes a choice of torched salmon sashimi, kohlrabi Caesar, or steamed spicy chicken dumplings, plus baked turmeric whitefish, orange chicken paillard, grilled prawns, or for an additional $15, branzino. A jasmine panna cotta is included in the price for dessert." - Rebecca Roland
"Crustacean is open for Christmas Eve dinner, serving a handful of specials alongside its usual menu. Look forward to lobster, potato, and leek soup, five-spice roasted duck with raspberry hoisin, and the Snow Globe with whipped banana chantilly, meringue, and a vanilla wafer crumble. Book a table through Crustacean." - Rebecca Roland, Mona Holmes
"When: Tues-Fri, 4:30-6:30pm The Deal: $2 Oysters & $10 Martinis Beverly Hills is lined with legacy restaurants where dinner for two can cost as much as a car payment. Crustacean is one of them. Which is why their weekday oyster and martini Happy Hour at the restaurant's Anna May Bar immediately caught our attention. Don't fact-check us on this, but we're pretty sure nobody has seen a $10 martini in BH since the '90s." - nikko duren, garrett snyder, brant cox
"Crustacean is a Beverly Hills institution, and for Valentine’s Day, they’re doing both a la carte options and a four-course, prix-fixe menu for $95 per person. Expect a menu filled with things like king crab with uni aioli, lobster salad, braised veal shank, and more. Pickup only." - brant cox
