I can point at the food that I would like to order, because there is a plastic
representation of it. Is it called _purasuchikku shokuji_?

answer
If you uttered "purasutiku shokuji" (it would more correctly be "purasuchikku"
or プラスチック) in the right context you could make yourself understood, but 食品サンプル
("shouhin sanpuru") is definitely the right term. Also, those models are
sometimes made of other materials different from plastic, such as wax.
