Amazing restaurant!! Best Greek food in town, the calamari always super fresh and the roast lamb is the best item ever, big portions always. Been going to Kisamos for over 15 years!!
Such an amazing place. It's decorated in such a homey manner and the service was amazing- at one point I wanted my water filled up but the waiters were elsewhere, and then as if to read my mind, she was there filling up my water.
We ordered the Kisamos and seafood platter- they were spectacular. I tried moussaka for the first time, which was very so-so to me. I wish the calamari hadn't been covered in so much flour, as I'd rather be eating the calamari. All the dishes are quite oily, but very nice, disregarding that. The dips that came with each platter were spot-on! I would love to eat the dips and pita bread again.
Would 100% recommend this cheery restaurant! :)

This place was easily one of the better Greek restaurants I have been to. We shared the calamari to start, and even though the potato and rice pilaf were standard, the mains were outstanding. I really enjoyed the savoury roast lamb, my eating partners had lamb souvlakia and spanakopita and thoroughly enjoyed theirs as well. The follow up with ek mek was nice too, and they have a variety of other desserts. I would eat here again no question.

Being an avid Greek Food lover thought of visiting this Tony Greek eatery in our historic village.the ambiance was warm and pleasant. The hostesses were quite friendly and charming. The food we ordered was scrumptious. The lamb toast accompanied with rice pilaf, roasted potatoes, Greek salad and yogurt was quite tasty and filing. The chicken pasta was quite nice and the flavour was lingering. We ordered for half liter Sangria which was just awesome. The place is not only value for money but also a great place to spend some quality time with friends and family. My recommendation... GO FOR IT!!!
This is my girl's favourite Greek restaurant. We always dine here when we are in the Steveston area. Food is pretty damn good! The roast lamb shoulder melts in your mouth and the platter for 2 is great if you just wanna have a few beers. Very hospitable staff. Highly recommended!
Went here for a late lunch/early dinner with some school friends for a former club reunion. Decor of the place was the homey feel of a typical taverna. Can't complain.I had the kefthes meatball dinner and the ekmek for dessert. Also had the privelege of trying some wonderfully tender lamb ❤ All of our food was delicious! All of the food (including the desserts) are all made in-house and that definitely shined through! Our server was friendly and attentive as well. Kisamo's I will come visit you again soon ☝
P.S. Service on my latest visit was quite questionable. Our server seemed very impatient, almost irritable. Not very pleasant at all! The food however, was spectacular and reallly was the saving grace of this particular visit.

Ok, so I have read the Reviews and have determined this so far:
-older Cranky waitress who is Rude
-hit and miss food quality
-inconsistent
So after having a special someone ( cute girl😉) suggest this restaurant I've decided to give it a chance, with an open mind I will either dine in or take out for the 2 of us.
So once I do this either tonight or sometime this week I will document the pictures and food Quality/experience. I hope they knock it out of the park as I hate eating bad food , but if they don't I will def not spare any thoughts or details.
This is a clean slate for them, I've never eaten there and I do know my Greek food.
To be Updated:
UPDATE:
So as I mentioned, I walked in with an open mind, the waitress was older, but was in no way rude, she didn't do any backflips and sing us a song either but very acceptable serving etiquette.
She was prompt to take our drink order and appy order, the Calamari was fresh and batter done well so I can't complain at all, good portion, decent price.
Ordered our meals and she got the orders right, I did find that my pork souvlaki was a bit undercooked on bottom 2 cubes but forgivable given the overall performance ...
I noticed in an earlier review that someone described them as "pricey" and I must say I didn't find that at all to be true! It was decently priced for a decent portion, sure they could give a bit more tzatziki but I have yet to visit a Greek restaurant that I didn't have to ask for more so that's neither here nor there!
I would definitely go again And I'll gladly review each time, there was some room for improvements but overall I was satisfied with my meal and service!
I read all the reviews before going and was unsure, but definitely give it a chance, I'm glad I did.
Thanks for Reading!!
Happy Eating!!
Went to gary point park for a walk and decided to have dinner around the area. Ny husband said theres a Greek restaurant that's very good so we were walking around looking for it and found it!! We ordered caramari, greek style ribs and moussaka. We ate all the caramari but couldn't finish our entree. It's quite big portion. Very tasty. I would recommend people to come here. The service is good too
I find that with Greek places, it can be tricky to find one that balances price, quality, and portion size nicely. If one were to lean too heavy towards portion sizes, you have a Stepho’s situation. Lean too much towards price, than you have a Neighbor’s situation. That said, Kisamos does a REALLY good job not only for their service, great pricing, and overall quality of their food!
Great authentic greek food, huge portions for a very good price. Service can be a little slow during rush hour but it's so worth the wait. The meat platter is fantastic and my favourite. Easily can share it between 4 people
My wife and I were about 4 years ago. We came back to celebrate my birthday. This local family run business didn't disappoint. I ordered the roast lamb and my wife ordered the calamari dinner. We had the hummus and pita to start. All the meals were so delicious. I used to be able to finish this meal but I hit a wall about 1/3 of the way. I took the rest home and ordered extra pita and tzatziki. Its like I barely touched the meal. I'm gonna enjoy my leftovers. They know their stuff here. Staff are friendly and attentive. Thank you for a very special meal.
The lamb chops are good and so is the soup with rice. Love this salad, it is loaded with shrimp. The dressing is very good to the last drop. The calamari dinner is ok, the squid was a bit gummy. The pita with tzatziki is a very good choice. I think the management treat their staff well coz they seem happy. I observed that they have lots of phone orders, the food pick-up was efficient.
Tasty Souvlaki. We had with chicken and calamari. Saganaki a bit too oily but also tasty. 4 stars for that both of us had one olive in the salad and their interior needs renovation.
Wonderful spices and large portions. The staff are attentive and friendly. We may have to come again!
LOVE THIS PLACE. My fave Greek place and I’m glad I live so close to it. Portions have not changed even with covid. Delicious as ever. This time we tried the 2 person seafood platter… yes. These pictures are for two people… you can for sure feed 4 people or more with it haha. Everything tastes delicious!!
Kisamos is one of the best kept secrets for Greek food lovers. The restaurant has been there for decades and has been serving Richmond with delicious food and a huge portion of food back then and now. The roasted lamb is my entire family's favourite. The lamb is so well marinated, soft and tender, and simply so satisfying. A dish you must try. After the pandemic, the portion of food is slightly smaller but the quality is still the best for the value of your money. Many hospitality businesses struggle immensely during Covid and Kisamos is no difference. Lately even the take out orders were steaming hot and well prepared. I for one would always go back there when my craving for Greek food gets the best of me.
Very impressed. Friendly reception. Reasonable price, Quality and quantity of the food are great. My plate is chicken with pantabano mushroom. My wife plate is Kisamos pasta with chicken. Strongly recommend
The best place to eat greek food! Lamb roast are awesome. Good service and ambience to lighten the mood. A definite recommend!
