At Crustacean in Beverly Hills, we enjoyed a unique brunch featuring a special Pop-lini cocktail, dim sum, and inventive dishes like Ube Soufflé pancakes, duck potstickers, and tuna cigars. Highlights included Langoustine Benedict, Ramen Cacio E Pepe, and for dessert, beignets with Vietnamese coffee crème anglaise and vegan coconut sorbet.

Chef Tony Nguyen of Crustacean Beverly Hills emphasizes the importance of being surrounded by family and friends during Thanksgiving. He suggests having a backup plan and ensuring there’s gravy or sauce available in case the turkey turns out drier than expected.

Crustacean: A southern California institution. The family-run, Vietnamese fusion restaurant has been around since 1991, with chef Helene An, the matriarch of the business, opening the Beverly Hills location in 1995. The spot even has its own secret entrance for celebrities. Lakzani and her husband seem to be regulars. Get the whimsical tuna cigars like they did, and order her cocktail “Daughter of the Dragon” for a bit of spice from the Thai chili-infused vodka. 468 N. Bedford Drive, Beverly Hills

Chef Tony Nguyen advises making stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce ahead of time to focus on roasting the turkey to perfection on the meal day.
