Crustacean

Crustacean is a true San Francisco gem, and I was thrilled to visit their brand-new location in the Financial District during opening week. The flavors were just as incredible as I remembered, elevated, authentic Vietnamese cuisine with that unmistakable Crustacean touch. I had the pleasure of meeting the family behind this decades strong legacy, and it made the experience even more special. You can feel the heart, history, and pride in every dish. Plus plus are the fun innovative dishes. So excited to have this iconic spot downtown. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-timer, Crustacean FD is a must-visit - I’m lucky to have them in my neighborhood

We had an unforgettable evening at the new Crustacean! Wow, the space is absolutely stunning, the updated cocktail program is fresh and elevated, and the new specials are next-level delicious. We sat at the bar with Shane, and let me just say: he’s a whole experience. From expertly guiding us through the menu to snapping our date night photos and keeping us laughing all evening, Shane made us feel like VIPs. Evan was also wonderful, and the entire experience was truly exceptional from start to finish. Thank you, Shane, we’re already planning to return for lunch and try even more of the amazing dishes. Highly recommend this gem of a spot and if you can, grab a seat at the bar!

The new reimagined Crustacean is amazing!! Food was out of this world, everything was delicious from the waygu dumpling appetizer to the sea bass and branzino entree. Plus they have refreshing cocktails + mocktails!

There’s a story behind every curated dish. I won’t say much - you’ll have to come to find out for yourself 😋I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic cocktails surprisingly fresh yes complex, garlic noodles can’t be missed!

The roast crab and garlic noodles are as delicious as those found at their original location, Thang Long. We also tried some of the new menu items which were great as well. Given the recent opening of this location the service is still getting up to speed.

Our family just had the most amazing meal at Crustacean. It is our new favorite restaurant. We indulged in the unique and flavorful cocktails and the kids really enjoyed the delicious mocktails as well. We ordered most of the menu and each dish was divine. Some standout appetizers were the chicken truffle and wagyu beef dumplings and langoustine rolls. The tuna cigars were not only tasty but the presentation was fantastic and fun. Of course we LOVED the classics - the crab and garlic noodles! But the sea bass and wagyu fried rice competed for the limelight with their beautiful presentation and rich flavors. Just when we thought the meal could not get better, we had 3 AMAZING desserts - the Baked Alaska, Coconut Tapioca and Chocolate Lava Cake. Each dessert was executed perfectly. We have had the Chocolate Lava Cake at many other restaurants but Crustacean has really perfected this dessert. The decor was classy and elegant and the service was friendly, attentive and timely. We expect to come here frequently in the future and can’t wait to go again soon!

The crab - phenomenal. Amazing recommendation by an A1 server - Eric. He sold us on it and it was seasoned so well, I’ll definitely be back. Carlos the busser, top notch. That man made me feel well taken care of, vip and at home.
