Beverly Hills' Crustacean Restaurant to Close After 30 Years
Crustacean, a renowned Beverly Hills restaurant known for introducing modern Vietnamese cuisine to the U.S., will close permanently on October 31. Founded by Helene An, who fled Vietnam in 1975, the restaurant became famous for its fusion dishes, combining Vietnamese, Chinese, and French culinary elements. Despite its success and cultural impact, the restaurant is closing due to a change in building ownership and lease issues. The An family plans to continue serving their signature dishes until the closure and is exploring options for pop-ups and a new location.
