We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Puma Yu's. Our server, the cocktails and the food were all spectacular! Definitely a fast favorite, we'll be back! Thank you 😊 Attached is a picture of the Mango dessert, which I highly recommend!

Our family has been able to dine here twice since they opened in 2022. Both times were phenomenal. The food is fresh and delicious and The staff is so friendly and welcoming. We don’t get out much these days because bringing small children places is a bit intimidating but Puma Yu’s welcomed them and even accommodated my picky eater. We ordered all courses while dining and truly enjoyed each of them. Our last time dining there we enjoyed multiple amazing cocktails, the Egg Rolls, Dumplings, the whole Branzino fish while my daughter enjoyed some fried chicken bites the chef so kindly made for her, we also enjoyed a recommended dessert from the menu. All EXCELLENT! Puma Yu’s is a family and staff oriented restaurant, they make sure that you feel welcome like family while also ensuring their staff is properly compensated for the amazing service they provide. Coming from a long history in the service industry I hold the upmost respect for how they value and care for their staff with an auto gratuity of 20% Our next family night out we get the opportunity to have we will definitely be going back to Puma Yu’s to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere they’ve created and some of our very favorite

Puma Yu's is a great example of how lackluster alot of the Athen's food scene has become. Nearly $200 for two people, and we left hungry. The service was painfully slow from beginning to end. The food took forever to come out, and after our check was dropped off, we sat for nearly 30 minutes just waiting for someone to take our card. It felt like we were completely forgotten about. We started off our meal with the pork dumplings and espresso martinis, then had the pork belly clay pot noodles and the lamb shank hung lay curry, followed by the apple cake and dark chocolate tartlet for dessert. Nothing was outright terrible - but at this price point, "fine" just isn't good enough. The food portions were small, the flavors weren't bold and exciting and overall nothing felt special. Our cocktails and desserts were the highlight of our experience. The desserts were familar but different enough to have a unique experience. However, when you charge premium prices, you're asking to be judged by premium standards and nothing here felt premium, just overpriced and forgettable. Overall I'm just frustrated, I want to like Puma Yu's. The atmosphere is very nice, the food is presented wonderf

Dear Puma Yu’s owner. I hope this warm weather is enjoyable for you as well. (I have an organic and uncooked chicken that is find to consume at your gourmet high end restaurant) I was loving my valentine weekends until I was eating fried chicken that is NOT fried. Your server that was a white oldest lady server gaslighted me by saying “the chicken I organic and local from near by Athens so it’s okay. But I can get u another if u want” without any apology and not acknowledging the issue. So we had to talk to other (male) server with ring bleached and he looked at it as I was explaining, noticed, and immediately took the plate to the kitchen. He was well mannered and dealt with the issue way more professionally. And the fact that your business is “high end quality” and regardless of service taking a customer’s right and a power of choice on tip for the unprofessional performance/ service, nausea, and untimely delivery of professionalism is absolutely unacceptable.

Puma Yu's treads a very fine line between comfortable/casual and classy/fancy and I think it actually nails the vibe very well. I don't think you'd look out of place in a T-Shirt and Shorts but can easily come in dressed in a tie and not look out of place. The drink menu is OUTSTANDINGLY huge, it's essentially 4 times larger than the food menu and has some very interesting and unique flavors and picks. The seasonal nature of the menu makes it more difficult to talk on the food as it changes. I will say everything tends to be somewhat spicy, you can ask for things on the side but just BASELINE the way the food is prepared/cooked, it's going to have kick. Parking is very easy, the whole Rivet House complex is very pleasant to get into and out of. So why not 5 stars? I think the food menu is just SMALL, there's not a lot of diversity, you essentially have ONE noodle dish, ONE fish dish, ONE curry. There is often going to be an interesting special like Fried Chicken or Flank Steak and again, I think the food is delicious, but it's nice to have options, especially if you're coming with a larger party. Pictures are from my most recent visit in October 2025.
