Prepare to say Nihao to the latest dining concept in Riyadh, YÙ by Toki.
The Saudi capital is no stranger to cool new restaurants openings. Kingdom Tower alone has welcomed a fresh concept in the form of the Kingdom’s first-ever Tonic Bar with an all-female team behind the marble counter.
The elegant space is located close to Chef Boulud’s eponymous Cafe Boulud which is set to open the most exclusive dining space in Riyadh. Julien by Chef Boulud will offer an intimate 10-seat only dining experience.
Now, the iconic tower has added another delicious jewel to its Al Mamlaka Social dining crown, YÙ by Toki.
The new Chinese restaurant has fired up all the grills and is where heritage meets modernity. Drawing inspiration from the timeless elegance of traditional Chinese dining utensils, the restaurant reimagines these familiar forms into sleek, minimalist patterns that feel both nostalgic and contemporary.
