    5,500 yen per person for THE FULL GREEK course for lunch. Quite expensive but no hummus with the pita bread so we ordered it as an extra plate. i’m like, “OK,what restaurant serves peta bread without hummus?” Lunch for three but all the food had to be shared. pita bread on cardboard was also not impressive. If I’m going to a nice restaurant and paying more than $50 per person, I would expect a fancy plate not a cardboard. All in all the food was not bad but definitely not worth the price. Will not be returning here.

    This restaurant specializes in Greek cuisine. The vibes are very good and romantic, especially at dinner, giving the good night view of Ginza town.

    Looks good at first, but the quality of the place is not great. Baskets on the floor are made of steel(and have holes in them) therefore if you put there your bag , it will be the same as you put it directly on the floor. Spots on the cups, spots on the teapot. If I pay such money for my tea, I want it not only to taste good but to look good also. Food is ok. But not super great. I would say medium. Do not recommend peach dessert as it is just frozen peach with alcohol, so so.

    Although the food is good, the portions are quite small. The restaurant advertises that the plates are for sharing, but they are a typical small sized entree. I would say that each adult would need an individual entree as opposed to buying only one to share. Because of this, dinner is on the expensive side. The sides are pretty tasty. The grilled cheese appetizer is delicious! Don’t miss the rooftop green space!

    The food here is good - one of the best places for decent Mediterranean/ Greek food in Japan. Lunch deals are pretty well priced ¥3800 pp for a feta salad, hummus and pita bread, a main of choice and dessert. The restaurant is on the 11f of Tokyu plaza so nice views and spacious space but the music at lunch was annoying a bit loud and too lounge / club like for day time weekday.

    A restaurant where you can enjoy Greek food, which is rare in Tokyo. This time I ordered the lunch course. The course is a style where you choose a main dish and an appetizer and share it with two or more people. This was my first time to try Greek food, but it was all delicious. The lemon pie, the restaurant's famous dessert, was innovative and tasted delicious with the sourness of lemon. The restaurant is very popular, so it is recommended to make a reservation.

    I was here for their Christmas dinner, and the food was delicious. It was a course meal that had costed 30,000 (without tax) for two people. Some dishes were beyond incredible, namely the “Taramasalata Mullet Roe Dip”. If you like yogurt and fish (may be a weird combination to some, but it works), then you may just love this dish like I did. The “Saganaki Cheese Honey Oregano” was insanely good too, it’s definitely a must try. We did order the Moussaka which bumped up the price by 6,000 (for two people), and although it was really good, the portion size was VERY small. The main problem I had with this restaurant was that they make you pay 30,000 for two people, and not only is the portion size so small, but every dish is “shared for 2-3 people”. So, you’re paying twice the amount for every single course dish to be shared between each other despite it not actually being a portion size fit for two people. I understand that they are a high class restaurant, and with that means that the portion size is small. BUT there is no reason to charge customers that much money for them to be forced to share each dish. Regardless, the food is delicious and the service is great. If you do not mind having to share a small portion of food while dishing out hundreds of dollars, then go for it.

    My wife is Greek and approved she said the pita was like how it is in Greece so overall it was very authentic. The Greek salad has snap peas and radish in it which was interesting.

    Only good here is the atmosphere which is quickly ruined by rude server/manager and mediocre over priced food. Celebrated an event there with friends and we had the steak and lobster pasta and some drinks and appetizers. The steak was as chewy as rubber slippers(even if we ordered it medium rare) We were also overcharged as our 2 friends couldnt make it and we did not know there was a headcount cancellation fee(we were charged twice and the manager was raising his voice on us) I feel it’s because we were foreigners even if we spoke proper japanese. Waste of money. Frustrating experience 😩

    One of my favorite restaurants in Tokyo. The food is great and the service is good. English menus are available and some of the staff speaks English. Also please note that you need to have a reservation. I recommend making a reservation a few days to one week before you want to eat here.

    It’s fairly cheap for the food, experience and the view that they bring. Went for late lunch. The imported bread and the hummus? Was really good. They also offer some of their signatures dishes as a takeout. So that’s probably something to consider if you want to try a little bit first to see if you’d like their food or not.

    I found this restaurant accidentally while visiting Tokyo. We loved everything about it. I reserved a table online and requested a birthday cake(they have the option to order cake for special occasions which is amazing!). They emailed me immediately after reservation and ask me what I want to be written on the cake. First thing that amazed me was the great service. Our server was fantastic. The view and the ambient is also very nice. We tried the chickpea dip with pitta bread and also olives for the appetizer and for the main dish we ordered bbq chicken and grilled beef with the side of potatoes. Beef was great and chicken was so flavorful. Everything was 10/10.

    I had an amazing experience here on Christmas Day. The food was insanely good. I loved the lamb and potatoes 🥰 the cocktails were amazing too. It is slightly expensive but it is worth the price you pay for it! The staff were very friendly and gave fantastic service. I would highly recommend!

    We booked for a lunch course on a weekend. Delicious food, nice ambience, and very good value for its price point. Would love to come again for dinner time. Tip: if you book, they will ask you about your dietary restrictions. So I think this is a good option for vegetarians and vegans (always check with the restaurant first)

    I truly enjoyed my experience here. I went for dinner and the ambiance, with it’s high ceilings, dark interior, and abundance of windows, is fantastic. And then there’s the food. The skillet cheese, roasted potatoes, and lamb stand out. All were so good. The pork and mozzarella salad were also delicious. Great staff with great service. Highly recommend this place.

    The food is very good. Grilled cheese dish is a delight. Lamb shoulder is tender and juicy. Goes very well with the yogurt sauce. Pita bread with a hint of zaatar was good, too. In short, all of the food on the Full Greek Course was delicious. I hope to try some more dishes next time from the a la carte menu. Location, service, and the atmosphere are great. Very good vibes.

    Happy with the food but not the seating. We made a reservation in advance but got seated at the counter facing the wall and the kitchen. Even though there are many window seats available.

  • 5/5 Nanako 2 years ago on Google
    High quality Greek food in Tokyo. Ordered 7 plates from the menu to share with 5 people and everything was delicious. Unlike other reviews, pricing is extremely fair compared to the other Greek restaurants in Tokyo. The total came out to be around 5000 yen per person and we even ordered some mocktails. The only thing that felt lacking was the amount of pita served with their hummus dip.

    We had a great dining experience at The Apollo Ginza. First, the open kitchen was quite unique - and when I say “open,” it was honestly open. We walked through the main kitchen when being seated, and our dining was at the pastry bar where we watched the chef create the desserts for the evening. The restaurant has wide windows and overlooks Ginza, so the mood and atmosphere is stylish and inviting. The granite countertops create additional elegance. Our server, Hinata, was wonderful - she was friendly and knowledgeable on the dishes. Hinata made pleasant conversation with us and just made us feel welcomed and at home. Of course - the food - delicious! We chose the Greek set and opted for the Kanpo Wagyu which was amazing! We do not like the full fat of many wagyu cuts or Kobe, however this was lean and so flavorful - almost sweet and perfectly cooked. The salad with a creamy block of feta was fantastic. Everything was delicious (although the mullet roe dip is an acquired taste - one to which I have not yet acquired). Wine list was great! We tried two new Australian whites - both complimented our meal and taste preferences well. Overall - I really enjoyed this Greek fusion restaurant and am anxious to try some other menu items on our next visit.

    The best dinner we had in Tokyo. The ambience is great, the staff is extremely friendly and makes you feel welcome and the food is absolutely delicious. Best of all, they have many vegetarian options which can be hard to find in Tokyo. I can’t wait to come back next time we are in Tokyo.

    Oh my, the BEST hummus I’ve ever had. I’ve been in search for good hummus and I might have found the one. Their other dishes were great as well. Drinks selections are also very wide too. I had a glass of mock tail and that was amazing. It is a fairy huge venue and got lots of big table so great for big group for sure. Ambience here is great with elegant interior and huge window looking down the Ginza Main Street. I would definitely go back. Highly recommend to make reservations for the weekend.

  • 2/5 Yeonwoo C. 1 year ago on Google
    Had to wait for an hour for the food to be served. Small portion for its price & overpriced food compared to its taste. It was salty and oily - no other flavors at all. I regret visiting here. I give one extra star for the ambience.

    The food the atmosphere was superb! The lemon cake was delicious! Great for lunch gatherings and celebrations too

  • 4/5 Michelle Louise S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place and ambiance. We had the course menu which was good! The flavors from each plate were just exquisite. Specifically loved the olives as appetizer as it is simple. Then going to the dish with cheese and honey (forgot what it’s called) then the salad. But the beef was not the best I would say. I’ve tried a lot of good beef in Japan in this price range but theirs was not very special.. so im only giving 4 stars since the main dish was important. Also, we were sitting on the counter which was uncomfortable. We reserved 2 days ahead without notification that we will not be seated on a table so that was quite annoying. The waiter just said that if they are full, last reservations will be placed on the counter. If we had known, we would have reserved on different time.

    I had dinner tonight at The Apollo by myself and it was a wonderful experience! I was able to sit at the counter and enjoy watching the ambiance. The food was not only delicious, I had the lamb and potatoes, but the staff were also wonderful! They were so welcoming, kind and made my experience special.

👍 A very nice sushi bar at Tsukiji Outer Fish Market. We went in the morning and there were tables available. The selection was great and the sushi even better. Ordering in English was easy via a tablet. The bill is attached to the back of your seat, you just take it to the till to pay.
