Many dishes are extremely hot. Choose appropriately. Drinks are unique and delicious. Expect to spend a good amount.

Very small portions, very small dining room. If you don't like eating at the bar you have to make reservations. The music is so loud you can't hear the person next to you. Very expensive. We spent $170 and left hungry. The mixed drinks are some of the best around and the staff is friendly. Great for young people who don't eat much.

Great food and cocktails. A bit on the pricey side but the quality is worth it.

The food was outstanding- particularly the appetizer dishes. The environment was delightful. The restaurant was poorly managed, however. The bar was fully occupied by employees of the restaurant in their work clothes. Not great optics for a space with an amazing chef and a lovely environment. That said, I would return for the appetizers.

A bit hard to find, but well worth it. Counter service for lunch. Limited seating inside but covered patio is great.

I really enjoyed my experience here. Just a couple snags that kept me from rating 5 stars all around. I had an early reservation for 2 at 530. It was my first time there, so I was 5 minutes late (location is a little confusing, gps, and pull into the parking lot before you pass the restaurant, or you have to go around). They only had one other table with guests, but they sat us at a very small table in the middle of the room. My very tall friend was ducking and crouching so as not to be hit with the hanging decoration just above his head. It seemed strange to seat us at that table. The service was excellent otherwise. The food came quickly, and the drinks were amazing! Unfortunately, part of one of our dishes was served at room temperature, which was pretty obviously an error. I tried to be gracious about alerting them since this can be a huge health issue and pretty embarrassing. They got it remade extremely quickly, and it came back perfect. The food was very good, but I wasn't convinced it was worth $70 per person cost. They also auto grated, which felt weird since I always tip well (I am a restaurant manager). If that's something they always do, then ok, but I felt a bit insulted since I was very tactful about the error. In no way did the error impact my opinion of the restaurant other than being pleased to have it fixed so quickly. I guess being sat in an awkward area and then auto grated on a 2 person table just felt pretty snobby and judgmental. I think this place is probably amazing on specific nights for specific people. I might try again on a better night with a better outfit ?.

The beef shank noodle special was succulent and flavorful, and the dumplings are deliciously tangy and hand-made! Their cocktail menu is absolutely original and worth checking out. I only wish there was more of everything!

The food was good. The environment was super friendly and nice. The vibe was amazing. The food we ordered came quick and was super tasty. A great place for brunch. We will definitely come back to try the dinner.

Parking: There’s plenty of parking space right in the front.

Never had a bad drink or bite of food here. The best.

Tom Kastoryano

Loved it. The atmosphere was amazing, service was phenomenal, and the food was top notch. All the dishes we had were so good, especially the snapper. Very recommended.

Want a fancy cocktail and a flavorful meal without having to pay for parking? Puma Yu is your cup of tea. The bartenders are especially friendly and knowledgeable. Make sure to make reservations, the spot is tiny and fills up quickly. Do not skip the tempura.

Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian options that are tasty. The veggies themselves are fresh and full of flavor. The mushrooms are especially good.

Parking: Parking is easy to find and more than plentiful .

Great restaurant concept, very unique and tasty cocktails. The food menu is not quite fully developed, and we were disappointed with our meals. It was also very expensive, prepare to spend $50-$65/person, as they add an automatic 20% gratuity to your bill. Would only recommend to come back for cocktails.

This is a great new spot in athens. Food is great, drinks are great and menu is very creative. I have no doubt they will be expanding to downtown soon : )
