" I decided to treat my family to dinner at Crustacean, and we were all delighted! The roasted crab is an experience of its own; the flavor was just heavenly. We shared some garlic noodles, which were also delicious but on the heavier side. The dessert was fantastic too! Just be aware the place can get quite busy, so a reservation is a good idea! " (*Curated Review*)

" My expectations were high for Crustacean, and they did not disappoint. The crab was juicy and well-seasoned, and the garlic noodles were delightful too! The staff was attentive, making sure our dining experience was top-notch. If you love seafood, this should be on your bucket list! I will definitely come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Crustacean offered a wonderful experience overall. The roasted crab was excellent, and I loved the garlic noodles even though they were a bit greasy. The service was attentive and friendly, making us feel welcomed throughout. The venue itself has an attractive ambiance. I would definitely recommend it to a friend. " (*Curated Review*)

" Perfect for seafood lovers—the crab was richly flavored and beautifully roasted. I found the garlic noodles a little underwhelming, but still enjoyed my meal at Crustacean. The service was top-notch and the ambiance charming. I could see myself coming back to try other menu options. " (*Curated Review*)

" Crustacean was good, but I was expecting something more special based on reviews! The crab was very tasty, no doubt, but the garlic noodles didn't live up to the hype in my opinion. Service was wonderful and the ambiance was nice, but next time, I’ll probably try the crab without the noodles. " (*Curated Review*)

" We enjoyed our meal at Crustacean. The crab had great flavor, and the lady who served us was friendly and attentive. Garlic noodles were fine, but I wish they would offer less butter. The ambiance was very welcoming, making it feel like a special dining experience. I would consider returning for the crab alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Crustacean has a nice setup, and the crab was impressive. However, I expected the garlic noodles to match the quality of the crab but I was a tad disappointed. The ambiance was nice, though I could hear the noise from nearby tables a bit. Overall, I would return mainly for the crab and perhaps try another side. " (*Curated Review*)
