[2][3] Dimayuga was included in the Zagat's "30 Under 30" List in 2015 as an upcoming culinary star[4] and was also part of 2015 class of Eater Young Guns.
[5] She was nominated for a James Beard Foundation Award in 2016 and named a 2017 Rising Star Chef for her work at Mission Chinese Food New York.
[8] In light of the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, Dimayuga signed an open letter addressed to Joe Biden, President of the United States, calling for a ceasefire.
[16] In 2012 she was cold-called by Danny Bowien to help open the first New York City iteration of his San Francisco restaurant, Mission Chinese Food.
Dipping into her Filipino roots, Dimayuga's menu at Mission Chinese Food was what she called "New American";[3] a cuisine not simply about Asian fusion or even Asian-American, but rather, reflective of the kind of hybrid dining.
At MCF, Dimayuga was not only the executive chef, but helped to contextualize the restaurant within the culture of the surrounding Lower East Side and Chinatown neighborhoods, through various artist collaborations.
