OPA! of Greece Richmond Centre

Standard Opa at a mall. This food court is pretty new with lots of seating. Usually pretty good wait times. The falafel wrap is good! The fries here are amazing!

I recently ate at OPA! and was disappointed with the quality of the food. The ingredients didn’t seem fresh, the presentation was unappealing, and unfortunately, the taste was quite bland. I expected more based on previous experiences with the brand. Hope they can improve on quality and freshness.

I went there a few days ago, at 840 pm and while all the other restaurants in the food court were open, these guys had already started cleaning and when I asked if I could order something, they said “sorry we are closed”. You’re supposed to be open till 9pm. Why start cleaning and shutting down operations at 840 pm?

If you’re not going to be open till the hour you claim you’re open, then change your hours. I wasted 20 minutes to drive there, get there before closing only to be turned away.

Awful all around and I will not be back. There’s better Greek food out there.

Here in the photo you can see the opa staff at the counter, cleaning. This is 840 pm and the menu has also been turned off. Edo is still open.

I ordered the Spanakopita ... terrible. I think they went in the back and microwaved a frozen pie.. took it out and put it on the grill for a minute or 2. This ended up being a luke warm rubber boot, soggy mess. If you cant pull off one of the most basic greek dishes..then don't sell it !! Took it back, to the counter and walked away. The manager did nothing.This is at Richmond centre mall. I have been to other Opa stores, and it has been fine. The problem I believe is this location... needs training, and a proper manager.

Had to be the dryiest plate of food I've eaten in a while.
Rice=dried out like been sitting for several hours.
Potatoes= like eating sand.
Chicken= been under a heat lamp all day
Lamb= how dare you 😤 😒

This was the most disgusting food I’ve ever had from a food court. The lamb tasted like rubber and was completely overcooked, on top of that it was the fatty parts of the lamb so it was chewy and tasted really bad. Overpriced and not worth it. I recommend you never eat here.

The food was sub-par. I’ve had OPA! before at other places but this was quite disappointing. I ordered the lamb platter and added a chicken skewer.
The rice was dry and bland.
The Greek salad was also bland. The feta cheese was a sparse, dry powder - gross. It’s supposed to be chunky and plentiful.
The meat was also dry and tough.
The only thing I liked about my meal was the pita bread and the tzatziki.
I won’t be dining there again, sadly.

Came yesterday around 6 pm and ordered a shrimp skewer with a side of rice. As soon as I sat down and bit into the shrimp I realized it wasn’t cooked properly so I had to spit it out and stop eating completely so I don’t get sick. I then went back to the OPA and told them and instead of refunding me my shrimp AND rice since it was contaminated, they attempted to refund me only for the shrimp. I told them I will not be able to eat the rice either because the raw shrimp touched the rice and the two girls working looked annoyed, had the worst attitude and acted like the refund was going to be coming out of their paycheque. They then kept looking me up and down and speaking a different language while I’m inserting my card into the machine.

Overall such bad service, terrible staff, disgusting food. Please be very cautious when eating here whether you get shrimp, chicken, or anything else really because you could seriously get sick. Also, stand up for yourself if these staff treat you as bad as they did to me or worse.

Not worth. This is their calamari (~$14 post tax and before tip)

Quantity not there.
Chicken not well cooked.

Chicken portion laughable!
Ordered the Souvlaki & Salad for $15. I’m very disappointed with the portion of chicken, there are literally 4 small pieces of chicken in that plate, also they cheep out on the Greek salad adding just 2 olives. They put the massive pitta bread to cover up for the small portion of chicken.

They cheep out on the main ingredients of the plate and for that price you can get bigger portions at BASHA that’s located in the same food court.

Food is expensive and it’s not worth it, I ordered the Pita wrap fest and guess what, they gave me 3 pieces of chicken and the rest salad, payed 15 bucks for this “meal” and it doesn’t even have enough chicken, never going back to this place. If you want a real meal you should get BASHA it’s wayyyy better and not this expensive, real scam !

Ordered a salad with a skewer to go with a bag, paid 0.25 for the bag. Server in front said they don’t have any bag. Why charge me for the bag?

Well I went here last month and told me why they put hardly any toppings, I paid a lot of money but for the salad they hardly put any lettuce or tomatoes and on top of that they ask for a tip, why? I went in person, ordered and took my food. This place used to be good, won't eat here again

I ordered from door dash and it came from this No.3 Road location. It was the most disgusting meal I have ever had from Opa. I eat Opa a few times a month, from the Sullivan location in Surrey which is absolutely amazing. I was at my parents place and wanted Opa so I ordered it and it was a regret. The portion was so small that even my 5 year old wouldn't be full from eating it. The tzatsiki was only half full and the rice was stale and the chicken was cold and rubbery. It is as if the food was sitting there for hours because it definitely was not prepared fresh. It is such a shame because my experience at other locations has been nothing but great. I will never order from here again.
