What I Order When I Eat at Phuc Yea

One of the questions I get asked all the time is: “Ani, what should I order when I come to Phuc Yea?” 

And honestly, I get it. Our menu is stacked. But if I had to curate my perfect spread—the one that hits all the flavors, textures, and comfort food nostalgia—it looks a lot like this table right here.

Let’s start with the Tuna Crudo. It’s one of those dishes that doesn’t just look sexy—it tastes sexy. Lightly seared with our house rub and kissed with caramelization, it’s laid over a bright coconut-passionfruit sauce that’s creamy, tangy, and just the right amount of sweet. Add the crispy spiced shallots on top and those fresh herbs? That’s dimension, baby.

Next up: Green Curry Tofu. This one is chef’s kiss. It’s spicy, herbaceous, and just bold AF. The tofu’s got that crispy-outside, soft-inside magic, and we top it with crunchy puffed rice for a textural trip you won’t forget. The sauce is so lush and green, it’s practically a love letter to Thai basil and lemongrass.

Now let’s talk starches, aka my comfort zone. I always go for one of two: the PY Noodles or the Millionaire Fried Rice. PY Noodles are our signature—deceptively simple, but buttery, umami-packed, and made to wrap you up like a warm hug. But if I’m in my bougie era? It’s the Millionaire Fried Rice for me. It’s what I grew up eating, just glowed up. We take classic egg fried rice and deck it out with black truffle oil, paste, and shaved truffles. Rich, savory, with that peppery pop—it’s elite.

So yeah, if you ever wondered what I order when I’m dining in? It’s all of the above. When in doubt, pick one of those two carbs, definitely don’t sleep on the curry, and always—ALWAYS—start with the tuna.

Come hungry, leave glowing.

Yours always ;) Ani 💛
