Crustacean is an An family restaurant like Thanh Long in SFO that I mentioned in a different thread.

The review only alludes to it but the noodles and dumplings are made on site by hand and out of this world. The Peking duck with the salty plum sauce is crispy tender and savory sweet. The pancakes you eat it with are also fresh made and just out of the steamer.
I love Pan-Asian and I am a fan of our famed Wild Ginger, but Mr. Chow's is the best, and the original. The first time I went there I didn't know what I was getting myself into. My project was close to Beverly Hills and my hotel was there. I asked the concierge for some good local Chinese and he sent me there, just around the block. The facade and interior is nothing to write home about.

I like the black/white theme inside, but you are right....definitely nothing special. Atmosphere is important to me only if the food is good. If the food is mediocre, I don't care how they decorate...and that goes for dives, too. Some of the best food can be found at the local dive.
