A technicolor blend of bar, restaurant, cafe, house, and otaku museum, Yona Cafe is one of the city's finest hidden gems. A few blocks south of Dapuqiao, inside a xiaoqu, and around a few corners is this dimly lit place one could easily spend hours in. There's so much to dig, from the Fritz the Cat and Superfly posters to the video games and toys to the well-curated rock, punk, and soul to R&B coming out of the speakers. The drinks are cheap and good and they serve up some truly beautiful Japanese and fusion dishes that look like a pro chef cooking at a house party. You can tell right away that a lot of details and a lot of love went into this portal. One note: This is a small operation, so be prepared - service can be slow. Don't come here starving.
