From time to time I like to venture over to Opa!, a little greek fast food chain that is to be found at many locations in and around Vancouver.
For a fast food restaurant I find the quality of the food really good, they also seem to use pretty fresh ingredients which goes for their vegetables, meats and bread. The Pita bread is very delicious, especially when freshly toasted. I also noticed this particular store to be always clean - the exact opposite to many other establishments in this sector (you know who you are!).
The pricing is very reasonable and I was never disappointed with what I received.
Recommended!
Cheers

This place is far too overpriced for "fast food" style Greek! (in this city you can find amazing inexpensive greek food and get a waitress & a glass of wine!)
And the few time we have been its been hit & miss with quality.
I'd head accross the street for "fast food" style Mexican first. -

Sometimes you just need a fast food fix. When the hankering hits I'm off to Opa. This is a small local chain (I've only tried this location and the one in YVR), but does a really good job for what it is. I'm a big fan of gyros. Yes, what is fast food without mystery meat?!?!?! At Opa they slice it fresh, grill it to get it nicely warmed up without getting those overcooked portions that are common at many other places. They also freshly grill the pita so it is hot and crispy on the outside while still being fluffy on the inside. They pop in some fresh veggies and place a dollop of tzatziki on top.
So much more satisfying than the other fast food options out there, and the fresh veggies give me the mental satisfaction of convincing myself the mystery meat is healthy! -

I really like Opa! The staff here are friendly, and remember who you are. The service is quick (extremely quick if you phone ahead), and the prices are good. Sometimes the sauce on the wraps is just a huge dollop on top, and not throughout the wrap - but, hey, it's still yummy!
The fries, which I try to avoid (it's tough), are crispy and fantastic! -

Hands down, the best Greek food in Yaletown. Well, maybe the only Greek food in Yaletown, but I digress.
The nice guy behind the counter always greets me with a smile. Not just that, but the customer service is pleasant for a 'fast food' eatery.
I'm happy to eat an Opa! wrap at my desk at work. Wonder if my co-workers don't mind the garlic. It helps when they get take-out from Opa! too. -

Opa is a bit of a conundrum, one the one hand it's a fast food greek restaurant that populates many food courts around lower mainland. Fast friendly staff hurrily prepare peoples meals with the efficiency of an army troop. The food they prepare is really excellent rivaling that i've had in actual sitdown greek restaurant establishments. On the flip side one usually isn't prepared to have an actual decent meal at a food court establishment. Also food courts lack any sense of décor or ambience which adds, I think, a big part to the dining experience.
That being said the dishes are not bad. Opa has probably some of the nicest, freshest tasty pita I've ever had. They also have a very decent tzatziki sauce which isn't watery and flavourless like most places. My only real comment is I wish the potatos were baked a bit crispier, but still they aren't bad at all.
I recommend to go for lunch, get the pita wrap with extra sauce and their signature Opa fries which are amazing. -

EDIT (first review below) -this is the new review:
Ok, so Feta cheese is now included in the price! Nice work guys!
I was wrong about the staff - they are very friendly.
It is definitely oilier than I would like, but whatever.
I would add another star to my rating, BUT for the problem/issue of the containers/plates that they use (polystyrene?) - It isn't the 80s any more, there is more economical packaging! (or maybe I am mis-informed?) The wraps are already wrapped in a bag/baking sheet - do they really need a polystyrene container as well?
----
First/Old review:
Slightly disappointing after visiting the Opa in the Pacific Centre - but at least they only charge 50 cents for feta instead of $1 at PC (I find $1 for a teaspoon of cheese ridiculous).
Staff aren't as friendly, or quick to serve/prepare food (as PC), and it seems more oily and the chicken isn't as perfectly cooked and tender. But still satisfies my greek fix. -
