8 Arms

5.0 | so so sad 8ARM will be closing their doors. I hate that Ponce is becoming a space catering to its tourists more than its locals. I’m hoping that 8ARM will relocate close by and it won’t be permanent, but knowing how the engine of capitalism works, I don’t blame them if they want out. This weekend is their last 8ARM pop up, with a very talented chef Maricela, who does elevated Mexican cuisine. everything was sooo incredible. I tried the jicama with the pour of mezcal. wow! what a pour, and pairing it with the jicama was an experience I feel like folks should at least once. the oysters were incredible and the taco, WOW. I inhaled it lol. everything was amazing, my friend got the rice and the frioles, incredible as well. you came rlly go wrong with anything on this pop up menu. it’s not going beyond this weekend though, so if you see this go now! hopefully you make it in before they close their doors I believe officially in October. 8ARM is an ATL treasure.

This place is SOOOO beautiful and unique/timeless/accessible for all bodies AND everyone who works here is gorgeous and so sweet. It’s tastefully designed and when I went to the bathroom and smelled the fish from the kitchen omggggggg!!! And you know that old school rule to not try new things at places?? Mmm mmm, try the thingsssss! I got a dirty ume martini and I have NO regrets at all!!!

I took my uncle here for dinner tonight. He was a bit skeptical of the decor, but as soon as he started eating he was very impressed. We started off with seaweed salad and the chicken karaage. Both dishes were excellent. The seaweed salad was very fresh and the chicken was perfectly fried- nice and crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. The next course was the octopus skewers and the beef tartare. The octopus was perfectly grilled so that there was a little bit of bite but not chewy and the flavor was nice and savory. The beef tartare was the star of the second course. The mixture of the Wasabi, beef, yuzu, and tobiko with the nori was a truly exciting experience. We could not stop eating it. This dish is a must try!!! Finally, we ended with the monkfish and the yellowtail collar. Both were as delicate as I was expecting and perfectly seasoned to add depth and richness to the fish without overpowering the flavor of the meat. I will absolutely be back with more people, so that I can spread the word about this wonderful restaurant! Overall, my favorite dish was the beef tartare. What an unexpectedly delicious combination of flavors! I can't wait to come back and explore the sushi menu

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to mid-pandemic. Vaccine and masks required was a major plus for us. Food was immaculate, all incredibly fresh and well priced for the quality. We had steak, chicken, and sweet potato yakatori, two rolls (spicy and regular tuna,) the beef tartare, a very fresh crudo, and mushroom soba noodles (so much umami!) No dish was a miss and service was super quick without being rushed

Absolutely phenomenal dining experience for brunch. Very cool laidback and casual atmosphere with unbelievably wonderful cuisine and cocktails. I just thought that I had the perfect combination with a Sangrita cocktail and Pork Belly Biscuit as my entree... until they brought out the Sweet Potatoes with pink peppercorn labneh, charred jalapeño, violette kale. I have no words! It was absolutely fantastic. Great service, great food and cool vibe. We will be back. 😎👍

This was simple, delicious. Our server was a mind reader, and miraculously found chopsticks. Interesting, limited menu, but what they have, is very tasty, and high quality. Great cocktsils. Plus they had Weller's. Most bars, don't. Convenient to parking across street. I got lucky and found a free space at small front lot for patrons. Great meeting place for a date.
