"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."
