Crabby Tuesdays!

Crabby Tuesdays at Anqi

Experiencing a culinary delicacy doesn’t get much better than at Crab Tuesdays at AnQi at South Coast Plaza. It's a rare weekly foodie event hosted by celebrity Chef Helene An, the matriarch and executive chef of all An Family restaurants.

She travels from Beverly Hills to cook her famous garlic roasted crab that she perfected at Crustacean in Beverly Hills and San Francisco decades ago, served with her legendary garlic noodles. (Even Anqi’s Chef Ryan Carson doesn’t know her garlic roasted crab and garlic noodle recipe.)

Chef An prepares the meal in her secret kitchen that only family members and chefs who have worked with the family for more than a decade can enter. The crab Tuesdays experience is limited, so it’s best to reserve your Dungeness crab order, a minimum of 24 hours in advance.

The roasted crab dish is available in the shell ($48) or shelled ($53) that’s easier to eat. We’ve tried both tasty versions, and it’s hard to decide which is better. However in the shell is preferred by the An family. Along with the crab, you can order appetizers and others courses, such as the char-grilled jumbo prawns with saffron fries, fra mani chorizo, manilla clams, piquillo pepper fumer, and quinzoi liaison a la carte.

AnQi by Crustacean is adjacent to Bloomingdale’s at South Coast Plaza, 3333 Bristol Street in Costa Mesa.  714.557.5679.
