" Crustacean was quite delightful! The crab was excellent, flavorful, and worth the price. The garlic noodles, while good, could be better in terms of texture. The environment was cozy and inviting. I look forward to returning to try perhaps a different dish as well. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Crustacean, and it was an unforgettable experience! The roasted crab was out of this world; it was so fresh and perfectly seasoned. The famous garlic noodles were a delightful accompaniment, complementing the crab beautifully. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a special occasion. I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Crustacean has been on my list for a while, and we finally made it! The crab was indeed delicious, and I can understand why they are known for it. However, I found the garlic noodles to be overrated; they were tasty, but I've had better elsewhere. The service was great, and the interior was charming. We had a lovely evening overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a seafood lover, I was enthralled by Crustacean! The crab was superb and definitely worth the hype. The garlic noodles were delicious, but for some reason, they didn’t quite hit the mark I expected. Still, the service was commendable, and the vibe of the place made the meal really enjoyable. I could see myself returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Crustacean was almost perfect! The highlight was undoubtedly the roasted crab; it was so juicy and well-prepared. The garlic noodles, however, could have been better—maybe less butter would help? Atmosphere felt elegant and cozy. Overall, a lovely dining experience, and I’d definitely recommend giving it a try. " (*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*)
