Crustacean is one of those old, legacy restaurants that would be easy to write off, if the food weren’t so good. Their website is packed with photos of celebrities like Viola Davis and Margot Robbie, the dining room feels like a Las Vegas nightclub, and half of the Vietnamese menu is trademarked. However, they have a surprisingly killer lunch special, a three-course set meal for just $35 that includes truffle Wagyu burgers, turmeric glass noodles, and a heavenly coconut cake. Plus, those garlic noodles—super thick and coated in “Chef An’s secret sauce,” much like Cher’s performance in Moonstruck, they’re just as wonderful as everyone says.
