Crowd-favourite restaurant Tokyo is coming to Jeddah

The Japanese concept has been in Riyadh since 1985, A slice of Tokyo is coming to Jeddah.Tokyo Jeddah is officially opening this year.

The original Riyadh branch is a dining destination for many families, and it is a place where people have grown up.

Tokyo Riyadh is considered Saudi’s first Japanese restaurant. It opened in 1985 with the goal to deliver true Japanese flavours and teppanyaki live cooking using the finest ingredients. Fast forward decades later, Tokyo has expanded with another larger location in the Saudi capital and incorporated more fusion dishes, but the concept still remains a fine-dining favourite for all.

Now, we’ll get to experience all of that firsthand in the Red Sea city with the launch of Tokyo Jeddah.

Tokyo Jeddah is anticipated to open in 2023, and we will be keeping you updated with the latest.

The Japanese restaurant is known for its signature crispy crab salad, prawn tacos, and Shrimp Blast: a twist on Dynamite Shrimp featuring panko-fried prawns mixed in Tokyo’s signature Blast Sauce. The Saad Maki Rolls are another favourite thanks to a combination of deep-fried shrimp, crab, sweet potato, mint, and a special sauce.

A range of Japanese-influenced mocktails and desserts – including homemade ice creams and sorbets – add to the appeal.

If you’re after more places to try, ROKA recently opened in Jeddah. It is the second location of the robata restaurant in Saudi following the original in Riyadh’s As Sulimaniyah.

Additionally, there are several exciting new restaurant openings at the Jeddah Yacht Club from wagyu and ramen concept Mashi No Mashi to the renowned Italian spot Madeo direct from California.
