    Ambience is trendy and sexy. Valet parking available. The food is phenomenal. The restaurant is close to high-end stores.

    July 2026 menu
    Natalie F.

    Legendary spot known for it's Vietnamese Fusion cuisine, vibe, and the river of koi underneath. Above all, they're known for their secret family kitchen items, particularly the garlic noodles, which are often copied but never exactly replicated. On the eve of their closing, I've visited twice in recent weeks and last night we indulged in the garlic roasted Dungeness crab and lobster from the "secret kitchen". I ordered the crab out of the shell and the crab meat was beautifully presented beneath a glossy crab shell. I had the garlic noodles on the side and they were perfectly al dente and full of flavor, the perfect accompaniment to enjoy bites of both simultaneously. The lobster was served over the garlic noodles which absorbed the roasted juices. I asked for an appetizer suggestion and the server immediately suggested the tuna cigars which are presented in a cigar box which emits "smoke" when opened to reveal the two cigars. They were ok. I would have opted for the salt and pepper calamari without the suggestion and wished I had chosen that instead. It was about the presentation. My companion had the Yin & Yang cocktail so much she had two and really enjoyed the balance of flavors and coconut. She had hoped for the tableside ice cream but they were out of the "magic". Overall it was a delicious and well-paced meal. It was a fitting indulgence and splurge for a last meal at such a special place. We plan to stay in touch to enjoy any pop-up events to get our Crustacean fix until they re-open again. Thank you for all the special dining moments over the years.

    Friend and I wanted to stop by before they relocated and we're glad we did despite the menu being limited and items we wanted to try running out (e.g. Duck potstickers, shrimp toast, mushroom, etc)... Was able to make a same day, 1 hour prior last minute reservation for 8:45pm at the patio. Despite being seated almost immediately amongst the crowd of people waiting, we didn't get seen by a waiter for like 15 minutes. Thankfully we ordered right away because we wouldn't be attended to for a good chunk of time in between. - Aqua Panna Still $9.00 - Tuna Cigars $22.00: smokey, nutty, and a smidge floral - this has the taste of the cigar box it's served in. - Garlic Noodles $22.00: wish it was more al dente, but strong garlic flavor. Have had comparable for more affordable costs elsewhere tho. - Cauliflower & Brussels Sprouts $20: basic, but tasty! I would get this again lol - Lychee Cloud $14: Coconutty mixed with lychee. interesting - Crab Puffs 4pc $18.00: I thought this was OK, but friend liked it a lot! strong crab flavor - Classic Banana Ala Mode $17.00: yummy non-traditional viet fried bananas with ice cream. Would get again - Special Occasion Desert: Jasmine sorbet - tasty Overall, I've had better, but I appreciate the individuality of some of the menu items, like the tuna cigars. Free parking at the 485 N Beverly Drive Garage after 6PM Mon - Sat. across the restaurant (not at the parking structure that has the barrier arms which is like $5 for 4 hours)

    I finally tried Crustacean and ordered the Turmeric Mule, Cloud Mocktail, Wagyu Fried Rice, Garlic Noodles, Sea Bass, and Beignets. The Cloud Mocktail was disappointing. It lacked depth of flavor and was overall underwhelming. The Garlic Noodles absolutely lived up to the hype and were the standout dish of the meal. The Wagyu Fried Rice was also very good, although I wasn't sure what the pineapple added to the dish. The Sea Bass was decent but lacked flavor for the price point and felt overpriced. On the positive side, the portions were generous with the exception of the Sea Bass, and the Beignets were a delicious way to end the meal. Overall, I enjoyed the experience, but I found the restaurant somewhat overhyped. While the food was good, it wasn't memorable enough for me to return.

    I will give Crustacean **** four stars. The 5th star is not a penalty per se for anything that went wrong, it's a somewhat subjective perspective and opinion... It's either that the portions are small for the price per entree or the price is too high for the portions served. At best, if you come here to eat "family style" where you order to share among a group, every dish seems to serve 2 people as a series of mini appetizers that you need to order 4-6 dishes/servings per "couple" (pair of diners) and once you pass 2 patrons, if you want everyone to try every dish, you need to double the order to 2 or more portions. This is an elite prestigious restaurant however and expect to budget about $150-200 per person without drinks. It's unique and a great experience. They suggest a 20% tip. Valet parking is $20, alternatively there are adjacent public parking options much cheaper. Tax is approx 9.75% in California. Factor in all of that on the budget of your bill where $300 food bill grows to $400 total out of pocket after tax and tip and parking.

    Been to the SF location and with the recent news of this location closing(moving to a different location) I was enticed to visit before they moved. In the middle of Beverly Hills this place had that cool casual LA vibe. Where stars were regulars and the all guests were cared for. They did say the attire was business chic but people were able to pull off shirt slacks and tennis shoes. With Two stories the first floor was the main dining more intimate as the second floor was more spacious. The service was top notch. Arrived an hour early for our reservation was accommodated. The servers were quite attentive. They even recognized that I had dropped my napkin during the meal and before I can pick it up they came to the table to offer me a new one. The servers knew the menu well. Even offered a perfect drink to pair with the amazing food, a tequila based drink with coconut agave lime and Black Sea salt on the rim. I could've easily had 5 of those. First to our table were the crab wontons it was a creamy seafood delight, I wish the wonton wrapper near the center of the item was as crispy as the edges. All in all it's flavor profile was spot on as the flavor of crab definitely stood out. I recommend nibbling at it as it It came out piping hot so I def nearly burned my tongue off as I popped the entire wonton in my mouth. A few moments after finishing the wontons the Vietnamese chicken oyster skewers arrived which had the perfect subtle char and smokiness with the sweet soy ginger sauce coating the tender juicy meat. The pickled veggies added a refreshing flavor to round out the savory flavor of the grilled chicken. Main entrees we decided on the The garlic noodles, the garlic roasted Dungeness crab, Prime filet mignon shaken beef. I really wanted to get the wagyu fried rice but the server advised us that what we had ordered was plenty. All three dishes arrived at the same time, The garlic noodles was Al dente not greasy and perfectly infused with a garlic, the crab arrived pre deconstructed as I didn't want to end up flicking crab shells all ofer the place. Huge chunks of Crab along with shredded peices. Eaten with the noodles made it the perfect combo. The filet mignon shaken beef reminded me of a lomo saltado as it had all the elements sautéed tomatoes, red onion, fried potatoes. The beef was medium rare and tender, wish I could've ordered a bowl of white rice to complement the intense flavor of the shaken beef. The server was right we order just enough to be stuffed. At the end she asked if we wanted dessert and I pointed at my belly saying we were unable to take another bite of anything. The server than said "that's ok you don't want to go beyond your pleasure point" she was right we were in food ecstasy. Over all an awesome place for a great meal and good vibes. And if you're lucky like me you might spot a famous actor

    Jasmine panna cotta dessert
    Keith Y.

    Crustacean was such a great restaurant. The staff was very friendly and they had great recommendations. For appetizers, the tuna cigars and lobster dumplings tasted amazing. The smokiness of the tuna just made it better and the bite of caviar was reall my delicious. For the main course, I ordered the garlic noodles with crab, and shaken beef. Both were enjoyable. The crab was packed with flavor. I chose to crack my own crab and while it was a chore, it felt worth it for the freshness. The restaurant itself was busy but they were quick to serve. They had nice decor and the seating was comfortable.

    Crustacean is unfortunately closing on July 27. The reason I am giving 3 stars is due to poor ownership/management. I heard that the workers only found out the establishment was closing a week prior to actual closing date. Food was delicious but expect to pay $150-$200 per person if you want the full experience. By that, I mean adding deluxe seafood items to the garlic noodles (totally worth IMO). Tuna cigar was AMAZING and the caviar topping was just BAM fish taste in your face. The jasmine panna cotta is one of the best desserts I have ever had. 10/10 service

    Crustacean is scheduled to close during the last week of July in 2026. We love the garlic noods and crabs so we found time to visit before they disappear. This time around, we tried some appetizers and got the crab and garlic noodles. We didn't care for the crab puff, but the beef skewers were good. The crab and the noodles were as good as we remembered. Overall experience was great. Service was good, our water was never empty. The owner family made their rounds to say hi to everyone, it was very welcoming. Not gonna lie, it is sad to see them go. I hope they can find a new location and re-open soon.

    AN's Famous Garlic Noodles®, Vietnamese Satay, p
    Jonai B.

    I was excited to try Crustacean after seeing their happy hour menu and having a Resy credit to use. Unfortunately, the experience got off to a disappointing start. Upon arrival, the front-of-house staff member was cold and unwelcoming. I was told that happy hour seating was first come, first served, but received no guidance on where to wait or how the process worked, leaving me to figure it out on my own. The restaurant itself was beautiful. I loved the decor and the koi fish aquarium beneath your feet. After eventually finding a seat, another guest informed me that the restaurant would be closing after 30 years due to losing its lease. Shortly afterward, I learned that they no longer offer happy hour at all--a surprise considering I had waited nearly 30 minutes expecting it to begin. It would have been appreciated if this had been communicated upon arrival, especially since outdated happy hour information is still easy to find. Service throughout the meal was slow, though I will give credit where it's due: once our order was placed, the food arrived surprisingly quickly. We ordered the Vietnamese filet mignon satay, tuna cigars, banh hỏi, and the famous garlic noodles. The standout dish was easily the filet mignon satay--it was flavorful, tender, and the highlight of the meal. The remaining dishes were enjoyable but didn't leave a lasting impression. The shrimp also wasn't cleaned. For drinks, I ordered the Passionately in Love and the Saigon Silk. While both were decent, the Saigon Silk arrived only about one-third full, which was disappointing given the price. Overall, the food had its moments, particularly the filet mignon satay, but the lack of hospitality, poor communication, and underwhelming service overshadowed the experience. I can appreciate the restaurant's long history, but based on this visit, I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to dine here.

    Mango lobster salad
    Bianka C.

    Had our farewell family dinner at one our favorite restaurants! We were a table of 12, service was not as attentive as what we are used to but overall had a nice time. Their garlic noodles are to die for!! Their mango lobster salad is one of my favorite dishes but I do have to admit it lacked a bit in flavor but still satisfied the craving. Also one of my favorite things to eat there is their table side ice cream and coconut tea but both were not available. A bit of a bummer but totally understandable. There was a magician going from table to table performing tricks. Overall we had a fabulous night!

    Can't believe it's the end of era! So happy that I was able to snag reservations before the closing. As always the ambiance and energy was mellow and welcoming. Bar service A1. All waitstaff did a wonderful job. Started with calamari and chicken satay. It wouldn't have been right not to order the Dungeness crab and garlic noodles one last time. In addition, we also had the garlic green beans, gem salad and ginger sea bass. Everything was tasty. Can't wait to see what new location awaits for the An family. When they open, we will surely return!

    Asian fusion x fine dining perfected...of Vietnamese heritage, born in San Francisco, but iconically Beverly Hills. Enter Chef Helene An, whose family in the 1970's purchased a small Italian deli in San Francisco & started selling Vietnamese food. When the locales weren't exactly taking to the more ethnic flavors, Chef An brilliantly decided to combine the roots of her Vietnamese upbringing that were more conducive to the American palate, in turn, perfecting Asian-American fusion cuisine. DRINK: Jalisco to Saigon - 8.5 / 10 I've been on a "tequila kick" as of late & this cocktail of blanco + reposado fit the bill. Be careful though, the black salt that rims the glass brings a smokiness that's not for the feint of heart. FOOD: | Appetizers | Tuna Cigars - 9.0 / 10 Quite easily the most popular appetizer on their menu - at least the most social media friendly. Don't let the stunning presentation fool you. The flavors & textures run the entire gamut: you have the crispiness of the wonton wrapper, with the softness of the tuna, the rich, brininess of the caviar, the sour bite of the squeeze of lime, & of course the smokiness of the, well, smoke. Being presented in a cigar box filled with smoke, this small plate is the one to get if you could only order one. Truffle Chicken Dumplings - 8.6 / 10 My good friend loves truffles & in effect, introduced me to & is directly responsible for my love of truffles. This dish was a "no-brainer". The chicken & sauce was delicate enough to let the earthy truffles shine through. The chili oil ponzu adds a surprisingly nice, acidic + spice pop. Caviar & Crispy Langoustine Roll - 8.0 / 10 An amuse-bouche of a classic Filipino-style "lumpia" egg roll, but with the most sophisticated of ingredients. This appetizer embodies classic Asian techniques with American / European ingredients. The crispy egg roll wrapper carefully encases delicate pieces of langoustine. The Winter Citrus Sweet Chili is the classic sweet chili sauce that everyone knows as the quintessential Asian condiment. The bit of Royal Kaluga Caviar is the fancy upgrade that elevates this rather humble dish to the upper echelon of "fine dining". |Entrées| Himalayan Salt Block Steak | All Natural Prime Ribeye, 16oz - 9.6 / 10 I love my ribeye & theirs is no exception. But here, you get the beauty of having it finished on a giant-sized slate of Himalayan Salt Block. No, it's not too salty. As someone who's admittedly hyper sensitive to salt (I prefer to never add additional salt whenever possible), I wish that I could finish all of my steaks on a "hot-as-a-grill" Himalayan salt block. AN's Famous Garlic Noodles with Dungeness Crab - 9.8 / 10 The dish that literally built the Crustacean empire & the "Crown Jewel" of the An family legacy. The embodiment of Asian fusion cuisine. The story goes that Chef Helene would make spaghetti for her children on special occasions. But because it was rather pricey, she modified the Italian-American staple & put her own twist. Now, that twist is iconic & beloved my many around the world. I now understand why this dish is on some people's "Last Meal" requests. Granted, I've been known to order Yard House's rendition, this is the original, & in essence, perfect. Every bite is a lovely mouthful of garlic & complex Asian flavors - salty soy, floral ginger, nutty sesame & a plethora of complex ingredients known only to the those permitted to prepare this dish in their secret kitchen. A "must-order" when you come here. Granted, we also ordered a variant with lobster, the dungeness crab is the way to go. Biggest props for the presentation of the shell. I've never seen a place that has extracted every piece of dungeness crab for your dining pleasure. Truly an iconic + timeless dish. | DESSERT | "Ice Cream Parlor" Vanilla Ice Cream with Berries - 1.2 / 10 Given the extenuating circumstances of the restaurant's surprise closing (with intent to find a new location), no liquid nitrogen means that their usual vanilla ice cream couldn't be prepared table side. In effect, that's what I think "makes" this dish. Otherwise, you're paying a hefty six dollars for a meager scoop of Tahitian vanilla ice cream (which you can get a comparable portion at a nearby Whole Foods), garnished by 2 blueberries & a single blackberry. I'll have to visit their new location to see this made table side. Warm Beignets - 7.8 / 10 A recommendation by our server. These did not disappoint. Fresh, warm pillows of tender, but flaky, dough. The Vietnamese Coffee Crème Anglaise is another shining example of why Chef Helene An is the "Mother of Fusion Cuisine". The classic tastes of a Vietnamese Coffee, but in a more non-traditional format of a silky, not-overly-indulgent sauce. Huge shoutout to our server, Leland, who was beyond phenomenal & made us feel more than welcomed. I look forward to following Crustacean (Beverly Hills) to their next location & chapter in their already renowned storied history & legacy.

    Do they still carry Truffle fries?

    I was there last night (Aug 12) and it wasn't on the menu.

    Gee, I'm sure the foods very good. Does it compare to the location in SF. What I don't understand is the only way to make a reservation is online and they'll get back to you…

    I enjoy the two San Francisco locations because the food is more delicious and feels like home. The Beverly Hills location is about clientele and of course show. I never heard of the deposit being required, but they really changed since COVID. I…

    How's the parking?

    It's not too bad. It's easy to find street parking. There's also a parking lot around the corner.

    How much are the garlic noodles?

    $15 - crab $78

    Is it open on Thanksgiving?

    They are closed on Thanksgiving.

    Anyone with a sensitivity to MSG have an issue with the garlic butter sauce?

    I have a little sensitive to MSG. I didn't have any issues the sauce.

    Can you order take out?

    Yes. They have takeout available by calling 424-303-8108. They are also working with Chownow, Ubereats and Tock for delivery and pick-up

    Is valet complimentary?

    It is $12 now.

    Is it possible to walk in without a reservation?

    When we came in, I saw some vacant tables. For 2, and an odd day (not Friday-and weekend) it may be possible. After we left at 9:30PM, it was more than half empty. We went on a Wednesday night.

    Is there any other number to make reservations ? Been calling and no one picks up for over an hour now and no one calls back........

    Send an email, that is what we had to do.

The meat itself was not tender delicious, just okay tasting. I ordered Medium Rare leaning towards medium cook, but it was Medium Well and kinda tough to chew. Very Disappointing for $77 steak at an overhyped place. I didn't complain because we didn't have time for a refire. Had places to go after. I've had much better cuts and much tastier meat of Rib Eye Steak at much less expensive places. They only broiler cook here, no char taste. I like charbroiled steaks much better. First time here, it's elegant and Beverly Hills, but I'm Not impressed with Menu or quality of steak. Not a destination dinner at all. No fomo- fear og missing out here folks. Over all service very attentive, but menu items are very basic, nothing interesting or innovative and don't garner the hyped up prices. I can afford fancy dinners, but this was subpar. The only real best thing was the truffle fries, But that doesn't make it a 5 star meal. Just saying.

Happy to say, every bit as good as the original, which is to say the best lobster rolls in Los Angeles, and that includes Salty Girl and Santa Monica Seafood. The lobster salad is also a great option as well as the lobster bisque. You are seeing the theme here, all lobster all the time and that is the entire menu but quality is outstanding. Only downsides are parking can be tough so go a bit early or a bit late and seating is also limited. Other than that, this place rocks if Lobster rolls are your jam so do not miss out.

    Delicious fresh lobster rolls! Although slightly pricier than I would have liked, it definitely…read moredoes hit your lobster cravings. This 5 oz came out to $55 ordered online. Not sure if there is seating inside. But the service was quick and the packaging was all done nicely. For around $50 it came with a side of chips, paprika salt packet, a slice of lemon, butter, and garlic aioli. Everything was fresh and paired perfectly together. The warm butter brioche bread and the tender sweet lobster were great. I also ordered a side of brioche for sharing which added an extra $4. If you want a fresh lobster roll, def recommend stopping by if you don't mind the higher price!

    Tucked away on one of the quieter side streets just off Rodeo Drive, Marea feels like one of those…read moreplaces you stumble upon once and then can't wait to return to. The service is exceptional-warm, polished, and effortlessly attentive without feeling stuffy like many other restaurants in BH. The dining room strikes the perfect balance between elegance and comfort, with a refined, understated design that lets the food remain the star while still making the entire experience feel luxurious. As for the food... it's honestly difficult to put into words. These aren't the standard Italian dishes you'll find at most restaurants. Every plate feels thoughtful, creative, and incredibly well executed. Seafood is clearly the focus, and it shines here. The crudos, the apps, the pastas, all beautifully balanced, packed with flavour, and some of the best I've had anywhere. Everything about Marea feels intentional, from the service to the atmosphere to the execution of every dish. It's the kind of restaurant where every course leaves you excited for the next. I've eaten at a lot of restaurants in Beverly Hills, and I genuinely think Marea might be the best of them all.

My Co-worker convinced me to join her for lunch. The bar is quite lovely, and the main dining room of the restaurant is open air seating with a secluded dining area in the back. We were greeted by the hostess and general manager. Both were genuinely nice. Our serve was professional and courteous as were the bussers. We agreed to get different dishes so we could share. For the Antipasti we selected the Insalata & Caprese and Secondi we chose the Mafaldine & Branzino. As much as I wanted a martini, I couldn't justify spending $34 on one. However, I did have a glass of Prosecco for $18. A kind server came over with a tray of bread and asked if we wanted focaccia or sourdough. I selected focaccia and my friend got the sourdough. The bread paired well with the Caprese, which was a bed of creamy burrata topped with roasted cherry tomatoes. It was delish. The salad was also exceptionally good. Delicate little gem lettuce with pecorino & Mollica drizzled with a light Barolo vinaigrette and topped with white anchovy. I was skeptical of the anchovy but it wasn't salty or fishy, so I ate it. The Mafaldine was very tasty. It was topped with a dollop of burrata. The pasta was al dente and the sauce was molto bene. The Branzino was served on a bed of Sungold tomatoes & corn. It did not disappoint. It was flaky & tender and the tomato/corn mixture was yum. We both enjoyed our selections and agreed that the portion sizes were small for their standard price point. I also wish the cocktails weren't so pricey. However, I'm glad I had the opportunity to dine here. *Paid parking structure adjacent to the restaurant.

My husband and…read moreI have brought our families here, we've done delivery countless times, and every single order comes out ridiculously consistent and so good. Our favs our the spring/green rolls (I literally dream about these rolls and that peanut sauce), spicy basil rice and rib eye, papaya salad, pad thai, sea bass and tom kha kai - my sister-in-law says it's the best she's ever had. Save room for dessert too. Their roti and ice cream dessert and sticky mango are dangerously tasty. Really, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Plus the interior of this place is gorg.

    La Ong is now one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the Los Angeles area! The ambiance and overall…read morefeel of the restaurant are intimate, modern, and sleek. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive from the moment I arrived. When I checked in, the host greeted me warmly and had my table ready immediately, even though I had made my online reservation less than 10 minutes earlier. The waitstaff also regularly checked in on me throughout my meal to make sure I had everything I needed. I started with the Thai Limeade, which had a nice kick from the rum and paired perfectly with its zesty, tangy flavor. I also ordered the Brussels sprouts, which I was initially hesitant about because the dish is topped with an over-easy egg. My hesitation was completely misplaced because they were amazing! If you love garlic, you'll definitely love these sprouts. For my main course, I ordered the Crispy Pork Noodles, and flavor-wise, they were incredible. The crispy pork is paired with vermicelli noodles, watercress, egg, and chili garlic, creating a unique and delicious combination that you really have to try for yourself. Another thing worth mentioning is the portion sizes -- they are HUGE! And I'm definitely someone who likes to eat, yet I still brought home a ton of leftovers while leaving the restaurant completely stuffed. Sure, the prices are higher than what I'm used to paying for Thai food, but you have to take into consideration the location -- Beverly Hills on Santa Monica Boulevard -- as well as the fact that the quality of the food is top-notch. In my opinion, the experience and portions make it well worth it. I can't wait to go back because there were so many other dishes on the menu that I wanted to try. If you're a fan of Thai food, I highly recommend checking out La Ong for yourself!
