Let me start with the positives: The place is nice to have dinner and drinks. Judging from the first (and only) time I went there a few days ago, the personnel where kind and courteous, served us with a smile and were very attentive to all our requests. The dishes we ordered looked nice. I am giving them 3 stars because, as with most "japanese" restaurants in Athens and around, the quality is no near that of a "true" japanese restaurant which I have experienced in other cities globally.

The fish in the sashimi was slightly cold which means attention to that kind of detail is not there.

Restaurants in Greece should stick with traditional Greek food where we...

The people running the place were another very positive aspect of the whole experience and the prices were outstanding and completely unexpected. Thank you so much for an all around...
Read moreMy wife and I love sushi, but we are very particular on the quality of sushi we can eat. Boa is some of the best sushi we have had anywhere in the world. It is quality every time we visit. We love the friendly staff, who always treats us and our daughter so well. We also love their noodles and poke bowls. Before trying Boa, we visited a few other restaurants for sushi around Athens. Now, we cannot possibly go anywhere else! It is one of our favorite treats...
