User reviews of Athena 雅典娜

Pretty bad

Review of Athena

Usually I like to go to a restaurant because they can make something I can't make and/or can make it better than I can. I could make the stuff at this restaurant better and I am not really a great cook. Coffee not great, baklava frozen, bad quality feta, canned olives, quality of the meat ok, price pretty high for low quality. Decor is quite pretty though, and nice outdoor seating.

Perfect for chatting

Being on the Sanlitun north embassy street, it's always really quiet. This is the restaurant we choose when we don't know what we want to eat, because it's not really expensive and the appetizers are in small portion, even when you don't feel like anything, you know you won't screw up and waste the food. Plus, it's easy to sit and talk for as long as you want. The staff are really friendly. It never gets noisy and crowded.

Athena - Don't listen to bad reviews

I think other reviewers have been really unfair towards Athena. It's not the most amazing place but its pretty good.

Good food, nice atmosphere and a great place in summer to sit out and enjoy the sunshine.

Not so bad

Just wanted to contradict other reviewers and say that this place is not that bad. Been there a couple of times this summer and the environment to sit outside is really nice. The gyros and the mixed grill platter is really good. Some was saying that it was not real Greek food, I would say that it's as good as any food I have been eating on any Greek island like Crete, Santorini and Corfu.

Right: VERY BAD FOOD

I went there for dinner way back in 2002 and was supremely disappointed. The olives were canned! Bad bad bad bad bad. Didn't even know it was still in business until I saw someone else had put a review up. Yuck!

Terrible, just terrible!

I'm Greek and I know what means Greek food.
This food there is not only very expensive, but also very bad.
This is not Greek food. Chinese-Greek maybe, but not Greek.

I'm new in Beijing and my friends told me that nobody Greek is guest there, but I would like to try it.

I think that Chinese and foreigner guests will have very bad impression about Greek food…
Greek embassy must to do something for it.

I gave 1/5 because the environment is real Greek.
