Crustacean

With its opening in 1991, Crustacean San Francisco was heralded by the San Francisco Chronicle restaurant critic, Michael Bauer, as the birthplace of Fusion Cuisine in the U.S, celebrating Helene An as the Mother of exotic new cuisine. Located in the heart of Nob Hill, Crustacean resembles its more formal sister restaurant in Beverly Hills in design while offering a dining ambience close to the Bistro style that includes outdoor patio dining, a rarity in San Francisco. An family sister Monique who runs Crustacean San Francisco works closely with her mother, Helene, Executive Chef in her focus to introduce new fusion dishes to the current menu.
