At first you will be enchanted with the decor of this artfully and beautifully designed restaurant. Very Miami #wynwood #asian #artistic style!!! Once your in your table good luck getting your waiter's attention except at the very beginning to take your drink order and if your ready and lucky your food order too. Be prepared to wait for a long time to get anything including your drinks. The whole restaurant looks like they have one waiter and maybe two assistants who pretend not to speak any languages when you ask for anything. Now let me address the food, we all go for the food right? Ok, I have to admit the Pho soup is excellent there!!! if you can get it with proper utensils to eat it and serve it before it's cold. Ours came with plastic spoons that bend and break before you can lift anything from the bowl and their reasoning after several attempts to get their attention is they ran out of real spoons. By the time they brought a proper spoon to serve our soup with, the soup was already cold and we each had to eat it with the plastic spoons which was not easy and the noodles kept slipping and sliding off it. We ordered several rolls the first was the salmon roll which was delicious but we lost interest after waiting for so long to get sriracha and ponzu sauce. After a while the other two rolls veggie rolls and beef rolls finally arrived. Oh no!! they were basically the exact replica of the salmon roll, they just substituted the salmon for veggies in one and the other they added the worst tasting beef to touch my taste palate #yuck. All this while we kept trying to get our drinks right. Now the Cajun fried rice was great if you don't mind your food to be very greasy. Just remember, if you go there, the service charge will be included regardless of how your service was, that explains the lack of motivation to make us happy with the one server they had. Finally, be ready to spend a lot of money on food and drinks that you didn't get in time to enjoy and deal with the snobbish attitude of the servers and the worst manager who could care less if you didn't think you should be paying for the disgusting beef roll that no one would eat at your table. The manager is there to make sure they get every penny out of you regardless of how you feel about your meal or service. Finally, enjoy your evening if you can after spending it dealing with such attitudes and all night trying to get the server, waiter or manager's attention. They should change the name to PHUC Nooo!!! read more

I had often come across Phuc Yea in various Miami food guides on social media, but it hadn't quite captured my attention. After my recent visit, I have to admit that I was pleasantly impressed by the delightful food and great service. Phuc Yea presents a selection of dishes inspired by Vietnamese cuisine. During our visit, my husband and I ordered three plates to share: the Braised Oxtail, the Curried Lemongrass Quail and their P.Y. Noodles. Let me start with the star of the show, the Curried Lemongrass Quail. Having never tasted quail before, I must say this dish set a high standard for anything that follows. It was truly delicious! The green curry is the standout element here, beautifully tying all the flavors together. My only minor complaint is that I wished there was more quail; the serving was small. The Braised Oxtail was also quite good, soaked in a tamarind pineapple broth and accompanied with red cabbage, onions and bean sprouts. Personally, I'm not a fan of broths or soups, but I can't deny this was tasty. Now, as for their P.Y. Noodles... well, they left a lot to be desired. It could be because we had to exclude the oyster sauce, but they were lacking in flavor and a bit dry. It's important to note that a significant portion of their menu incorporates seafood, so if you have allergies like I do, your choices may be somewhat limited. Be sure to inform your waiter or waitress. Speaking of which, a shout-out to our waitress, who was incredibly kind and friendly. She patiently explained the menu and ensured my food allergies were accommodated. When it comes to cocktails, I opted for the Purple Rain. Think coquito infused with ube - it's a unique flavor, but I'm not entirely sure I'd order it again. Phuc Yea offers a savory culinary experience that blends vibrant and bold flavors together. The service was great, nice ambiance and a fantastic plus is their free parking in the back. However, I found it to be a bit pricey, so if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option this may not be your best bet. read more

TLDR: I GOT FOOD POISONING followed by subpar customer service and an over charged bill. My experience at Phuc Yea left much to be desired. Despite its Bib Gourmand status and the promise of a unique fusion of cuisines, I suffered from severe food poisoning after dining there, and the service fell short of expectations. The lackluster attitude of our waitress was evident throughout our meal. There was little engagement, and no inquiries were made about the quality of the dishes. Our attempts to flag her down for the bill were met with frustration, and we were unpleasantly surprised to find an overcharge on the papaya salad. While we had been cautioned that the Vietnamese-inspired dishes might not be entirely authentic due to the restaurant's Asian fusion concept, the overall quality of the food was disappointing. My Chu Jon Shrimp Toast arrived with raw shrimp, a clear misstep. Though the bread was toasted, the inside remained wet and mushy. Despite sharing my concern with my companions, their apparent interest in eating their own toast led me to reluctantly consume the dish. As we prepared to settle the bill, I felt a sudden feeling of lightheadedness and rushed to my car while my partner finalized the payment. As I approached my car i felt cold chills hit my body and started to vomit in the parking lot. I had to return to the restaurant, where I used the bathroom, enduring a distressing ordeal of cold sweats and chills while on the toilet. The handling of the situation was deeply disappointing, particularly for a Bib Gourmand establishment. Serving undercooked food is entirely unacceptable. My attempts to address the issue yielded no response, highlighting the restaurant's apparent unwillingness to take responsibility, seemingly prioritizing profit over customer experiences. read more

By no means is this a 3-Star restaurant. This is a 5 star experience from front to back! I always wrote my review based on the 3 pillars of hospitality: ambience, service, food. Ambience The decor and design is only surpassed by the story behind it. The owners Ani and Cesar literally had artists take old pictures from their family's photo albums to create unique artistic works that hang on the distressed grey walls adorned with Egyptian repurposed doors. The 90s hip hop playlist took me back to my teenage years when I used to DJ and held true to some other restaurants I like such as Eating House and Threefold Cafe. Service: Attention to detail was given by our waitress 100% to our tastes and allergy requirements. Additional drinks were offered organically and not in a pushy way. Timed well, our 7 dishes were escorted from the kitchen to our table stead accurately and with great care. Food: As I mentioned we ordered 7 plates. -Duck Confit -Vietnamese Guacamole -Steak Roll -Pork Belly Buns -Oysters -white Rice -PY Noodles Words cannot match the flavor we tasted. The slight splash of cinnamon on the duck, the jalapeño spice on the pork Belly Buns, the freshness of the oysters and the crunch contrast of the chicharrones with the Guacamole. In conclusion, restaurants there are many. But when it comes to making a Yes/No recommendation, I cannot say either/or for them. I can only say "Phuc Yeah!" read more

Phuc Yea is one of those places that just feels cool the moment you walk in. The atmosphere feels like a trendy house party in the best way possible -- stylish Vietnamese-inspired decor, a great bar setup, and an energetic vibe that still somehow feels intimate. On top of that, the service was excellent from start to finish. Food-wise, the standouts for us were definitely the PY Noodles and the Million Dollar Rice -- both packed with flavor and easily dishes I'd come back for. We also tried the famous Sancocho Pho, which was absolutely massive -- easily enough food for 4-6 people, which somewhat helps justify the hefty $85 price tag. If you're already a huge pho fan and regularly go to more casual Vietnamese spots, I wouldn't say you're missing out on some dramatically different flavor experience. It felt more like a fun spectacle than a reinvention of pho. That said, it was really cool seeing ingredients like corn, yuca, and potatoes incorporated into the broth, giving it that true sancocho twist. Overall, Phuc Yea nails the vibe, service, and creativity. Definitely worth checking out, especially with a group. read more

Every time I visit Miami I check out a new restaurant. Once I learned that the same crew from the Federal had opened up a Viet Cajun restaurant I knew I had to check it out. I made reservations and when my reservation was coming up I received a text making sure I would be there and on time. i arrived at the restaurant and was greeted by the host and was then taken upstairs to my table. The lobby area is beautiful and makes you feel right at home. The upstairs dining area is even better. This place has great decor and a really great bar area. It was Saturday night so, there was a good amount of people and the music playing was great. We ordered the Salt and Peppa seafood, Green Papaya Salad, summer rolls, and Crispy Fish. All of the food came out in a timely manner and the service staff was great. Everyone was really attentive and gave us a few pointers on drinks and dishes. My overall experience was great . We tried to come back for lunch another die but did not have enough time. I'll just have to wait till the next time I visit Miami. read more

I've driven past this place for almost 10 years and never stopped in--what a mistake! The ambience is really cool, the food was amazing, and the service was excellent from the moment we walked up to the host stand. Our server, Caro, was fantastic and made the experience even better. We tried the PY noodles, bao buns, cucumbers, pickles, and fried chicken, and honestly, this was hands down some of the best food I've had in Miami in a very long time. Everything we ordered was delicious. It's a great spot for both couples and groups, and I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable everything was, especially considering the quality of the food and overall experience. They were also celebrating their anniversary and gave us a complimentary coconut cake for dessert, which was a really nice touch--and it was great! We will absolutely be back very soon, especially to check out Happy Hour and grab some more bites. After driving past for all these years, I can't believe it took us this long to finally come in. Highly recommend! read more

The raging reviews about this place is overrated. This place is horrible. Make it a point if you visit this establishment make sure TATIANA is not your server! When she approached the table inquiring about drinks, we all requested rounds of water. She then questioned "you guys were at the bar for a long time, and all you are going to drink is water?" Wrong start. After that it snowballed. We ended leaving the restaurant, sent all the food back. Manager DJ intervened to resolve the situation. He was nice enough to adjust the check by removing all the items that were sent back to the kitchen, however he still tried to stiff us a 20% gratuity on the check. Which was adjusted off as well. After settling the check, we were greeted upon departure by the manager DJ. Server TATIANA on top of her voice yelled BYE across the restaurant. Extremely disrespectful. Overall, horrible a experience. I will never return to this place. Service training is needed immediately. read more

I loved Phuc Yea. I went for dinner and had such a great time. The vibe is super cool, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious. I'm celiac and they were very careful with that, which I really appreciate. I had the ceviche de chicharrón, the millionaire fried rice, and the fried chicken with the spicy watermelon salad -- all gluten-free and absolutely amazing. The flavors are super unique and you can tell everything is made with love and intention. The cocktails were also on point. I had one with mezcal and passion fruit that I absolutely loved. Perfect spot to go with friends, on a date, or just to enjoy great food in a chill and fun atmosphere. Definitely coming back. read more

Crappy management. Food was cold and undercooked, looked sloppy. I don't like to write bad reviews but since there was no manager there to listen to my issues with the food, I guess Yelp is the place to express my feelings. Whoever owns this place seems to have 'given up' on the business. I understand that Covid times are hard for restaurants, but Covid times are hard for everybody. So if your customers are going to drop $75 on a meal, we should expect to enjoy it. This place is overrated (or is it?). Based on a lot of the reviews here it doesn't seem to be that great and tonight that was certainly proven. Go to Yakko San in north Miami Beach. Better food, prices and SERVICE. read more

Phuc Yea was such a fun and flavorful experience! The vibe is eclectic and energetic--perfect for a casual night out or happy hour. The food was bold and creative, with a great mix of Vietnamese and Cajun influences. We loved everything we tried, especially the bao and the noodles. What really stood out, though, was the service. David, the bartender, was AWESOME. He was handling the bar but still made sure to take great care of us at our high-top table. Super friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. A+ for customer service and personality! Great happy hour deals, delicious cocktails, and an overall fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! read more

Beautiful place! Loved the food and its exciting cajun fusion. Seems like most reviews are about this specific mix of flavors. And all i have to say is Phuc Yea!! No there is no PHo but who cares. Noone said there would be. Get over it!! The cajun fried rice was sooo flavorful and good to share, the pork belly and crispy fish were my favorite. Rolls were perfect to start off with. Loved the summer roll. Waitress was constantly checking on us without hovering too much. She definitely made us feel at home. Had a great time overall and will come back soon. With a reservation! If no reservation, you miss out on the beautiful dining area inside. read more

Phuc Yea is hands down one of my faves--especially when I'm in the mood for a solid drink and something that hits just right. The martinis at the bar are . Whether you're into a classic or something with a twist, the bartenders know what they're doing. Always balanced, always strong; plus, ngl--they're easy on the eyes too. Branzino? Easily my favorite in town. Crispy skin, flaky and flavorful, with my favorite is the herb salad that comes with it. Also--the staff is beyond sweet - good vibes and make you feel at home. If you haven't been in a minute, go sit at the bar. Thank me later. read more

This was our first time at this restaurant. The restaurant decor is eclectic and blends with the food theme (fusion Asian+Cajun) and we liked the ambiance. Ordered the Spicy beef salad and the short rib entree. The salad had some good flavors and liked the glass noodles, but it was doused in too much fish sauce, and was therefore too salty. We were mainly disappointed as there was barely any beef in the salad. The short rib was good, however, again, very salty. As we didn't try that many dishes, I would perhaps give it another try and ask them to tone down the salt. read more

Phuc Yea offers a vibrant ambience perfect for gathering with friends over drinks and delicious food. The seared octopus with green papaya salad makes for a delightful starter, while the smoked short rib steals the show with its juicy succulence, though those averse to fatty beef might find it overwhelming. Pair it with the flavorful millionaire fried rice and side bao buns for a satisfying meal. The attentive and helpful servers enhance the dining experience, making Phuc Yea a top choice for a memorable evening out. read more

We decided to celebrate our Chinese New Year here and what a fun time. From the dancing dragons, to the music it was a great atmosphere. We went with the pre fix menu and the beverage pairing. The beverages were delicious and all unique to taste. There were so many dishes that stood out to me. The scallops were definitely a Hit. The noodles in a Chinese box, with salmon roe. And wow that Pho!!! This place is a must visit. read more
