From Chef Minh Phan of porridge + puffs, PHENAKITE is a love letter to Los Angeles. The art practice takes form as a modern angeleno restaurant, blurring lines and redefining fine dining and art.
A rare mineral that forms into gems under extreme pressure and conditions, our namesake PHENAKITE reminds us that food is beyond animal and plants, taking into account terroir, minerals, and the exchange of energy between earth and atmosphere as well as eons and epochs of stories.
Our tasting menu takes a journey of the land, sea, and air, juxtaposing introspection, expression and transformation.
