My recent Wok Star Supper Club at Phuc Yea was hands-down the BEST so far! Held on Sunday, November 17, it SOLD OUT fast—and for good reason. The food? A knockout mix of Vietnamese and Latin flavors. The vibe? Warm and personal, from the eclectic decor to the beautiful murals. And let’s not forget, Phuc Yea is a 3-time Michelin Bib Gourmand winner!
Event Highlights
Co-owner and Chef, Ani Meinhold shared the heartfelt story behind Phuc Yea, and I loved her shoutout for my role in curating and organizing the evening. Pietro Morelli of Dona Rosalba wines brought a bubbly touch, sharing stories about his rosé while guests sipped and mingled.
The Vibe?
Guests couldn’t stop raving about the decor at Phuc Yea—every space felt unique, from personal mementos to bold artwork. It made for an intimate and inviting atmosphere.
The Food?
The curated menu Ani and chefs put together was a perfect symphony of Vietnamese and Latin Flavors. As Ani says, “Mixing temperature and acidity and crunch is very important to our dining experience.” I heard people were trying to squeeze the Oyster Mushroom Curry sauce from the Vegan Menu out of Ani, ha, ha.
The People
The crowd? A fantastic mix, from CEOs, a TV producer and attorneys to a Filipino judge and even a 12-year-old Supper Club alum! I paired a few singles together—instant connections! So many remarked how much they enjoyed the company at their table.
Final Thoughts
Phuc Yea nailed the flavors, and the energy in the room was electric. A huge thank you to Ani, Chef Cesar, and the entire Phuc Yea team—you all ROCK! If you’re thinking of holding a party or event there or visiting to try their food, don’t wait too long.
