Everyone around me had the roasted garlic crab, so that's what I decided to try...now, I get it...it's really good, but you have to like garlic. Also good is the garlic noodles...after eating here, I was ready to go out to the woods and fend off mosquitos. I had heard that the service could be sporatic, but the service was good when I was there...the waiter seemed very attentive. less

i wasn't sure whether to put $30~40 or $40~50 down for the price. i know some people would suggest the lower, but in reality, you'll end up spending a good amount if you want the good stuff, you know? what i mean by that is, yes, you' ... more

i wasn't sure whether to put $30~40 or $40~50 down for the price. i know some people would suggest the lower, but in reality, you'll end up spending a good amount if you want the good stuff, you know? what i mean by that is, yes, you'll most likely want to order the roast crab and garlic noodles as everyone is suggesting. <br> this contemporary vietnamese, asian-fusion, seafood restaurant has been around longer than most contemporary vietnamese, asion-fusion, seafood restaurants, and has lasted for good reason. it has great food, great atmosphere, great service, and even a not-too-shabby view from the rooftop. it's a fun place. it can be romantic, yet fun; so if you're looking for that kind of date place, go for it. less

For dinner, I had the roasted crab and garlic noodles. Prior to being seated, our group had drinks at the bar. The bartender was great but next time, we will make reservations. For a weekday dinner, our wait for a table of 4 was only 30 minutes. We started with the crab puffs and seafood cakes, which was a great way to prepare us for the main dishes. The crab is simply too excellent and go great with the garlic noodles. I got to try one tiger prawn from one of my guests and it had a great grilled flavor. But, if you do not mind getting a little messy, the roasted crab is definitely the entree of choice. less

The crab is FABULOUS, the service is haphazard for the prices. But, they have a lock on the market, other vietnamese (like Jasmine on Clement) have tried, but none can match the flavor of Crustacean. It's worth it, you can't get this roast garlic ... more

The crab is FABULOUS, the service is haphazard for the prices. But, they have a lock on the market, other vietnamese (like Jasmine on Clement) have tried, but none can match the flavor of Crustacean. It's worth it, you can't get this roast garlic crab anywhere else. Needless to say, if you don't truly love garlic, this isn't the restaurant for you. $8 valet parking for this neighborhood is also worth it unless you don't mind driving around for 20 to 30 minutes on a Sat night. Their dress code is mainly to discourage jeans and t shirts and athletic shoes, which is reasonable since they ALWAYS mention it when you make the requisite reservation. less
