Puma Yu's

We absolutely LOVE this place! You instantly feel the warm energy from all the love and care that goes into the operation. The menu is small but fierce. Execution is always stellar. Cocktails, both regular and specials, are beyond artfully designed. The gimlet and daiquiri of the day never disappoint. And while I'm not a dessert person, their cake is wonderful (but changes regularly). If you like an espresso martini, they make a damn fine one. Staff is fantastic! For those with diet restrictions, I would call ahead to confirm they can be accommodated. **Edit: They've added vegan and gluten free markers to the menu. Interior design is thoughtful. They use the space exceptionally well. Patio is wonderful with the heaters and party lights. Love the mismatch vintage dishes. The servers remind you that a tip is already included in your bill, no matter the size of your party, and is split among all the staff...which is epic. Love ❤️

Great addition to the Athens food scene. It is still early days for the restaurant. I expect that the dishes will evolve a bit and improve further. Drinks are great. Atmosphere is very good, especially the outdoors area. Nice music too. Great place to hang out with friends over drinks and some Asian inspired food. The best dish, in our opinion, from the ones we ordered this time was the Thai hot chicken sandwich. Will be back another time to try some more dishes, snap some photos of the food and drinks, and perhaps upgrade the rating. Overall rating: 4 stars ————— Second visit was for Sunday brunch. The overall assessment was similar to the earlier visit. Photos of the dishes posted are from the brunch.

Great service, amazing food and cocktails. Love the complex subtleties and diversity picked up in the food and drinks. Amazing hospitality and menu creation. Look forward to our next visit.

The food was great, especially the rarity of having a chance to enjoy a full fish dish complemented by Thai sauce. The chicken wings were also quite satisfying. The noodles were average in relation to their price. However, the dining environment was terrible. With no available indoor seating, we were forced to sit outside, enduring intense sun exposure. To make matters worse, bees and flies were buzzing around the whole time, causing additional discomfort. Consequently, everyone was sweating profusely, making the experience quite unpleasant. Adding to our disappointment was the unexpected mandatory 20% tip. While we would have been fine with it if we had been informed beforehand, it caught us off guard. Although the waitress was nice, the overall ambiance was not deserving of praise.

The dishes were absolutely delicious! I believe they have a seasonal menu but the beef rice noodle bowl was fantastic - along with the savory bowl of broth that comes with it! Will definitely visit again soon!

Best cocktail bar in athens. The vibe. The FOOD. The music. The people. The slay. If you aren’t at Puma Yu’s once a week, dishonor on your family. Serious. Get the wings. Get the crispy salad. Get yo a** a puppy brother and don’t sleep on the dessert, unless you get one to go. Amazing. P.S. Tell ya friends.

This is a great addition and unique spot for the Athens food scene. The owners are personable and kind people- and it shows in their food and drinks. Best whiskey ginger I've ever had. The 20% flat gratuity is a genius model that I wish was adopted by more restaurants across town. Anyone who says otherwise can go eat at Subway. 5/5- favorite long dinner spot with friends.

This place is an absolutely ideal addition to Athens. Every dish we ordered was incredible- full of flavor and texture and fun combinations. The ambiance- from the decor to the music- is also great. I’d recommend for a date night or a delicious meal with foodie friends/family. Patrick, our server, was also awesome!
