I visited this joint in 2009 and must say that I like the new ambiance after the renovation. In terms of quality food, I must say that this would be one of the best Japanese that I had eaten in the Middle East. Considering that I am in the middle of a Riyadh, the sashimi is quite fresh. Top marks... More

the idea of sushi in a desert, in one of the most conservative arab countries, many hundreds of kilometres from the nearest open water, let alone the ocean, did not seem like a particularly good one. But I was impressed by the quality, the artistry, the taste and the quantity. It is not cheap, but the special sushi for about... More

I was in Riyadh with colleagues for business and our local host invited us to Tokyo House for dinner. There were 10 of us in a private room, sitting around a grill. The food was plentiful, beautifully prepared and delicious. Our host ordered multiple courses, teppanyaki, tempura, terriyaki, etc. The sushi was exquisite. I do not know how expensive the... More

First trip back since their interior renovation. My previous review was very good, everything was great. The renovation and decor is nice, with large Saudi style family booths and some open areas for family as well. The interior is simple and in a Japanese style. Some points: -our server was very good. he knew the menu well and took time... More

The food and setting is superb. The owner still cooks and supervises the place. The quality of the food and service is excellent and consistent. I usually end up ordering more than what I can eat.

This is one of the oldest Japanese restaurant in Riyadh , if not the first . It had a major renovation in November 2012. The original owner (Japanese old man) still cooks and serves at the place , and travels to Japan frequently to get fresh ingredients for the restaurant. The quality of the food is just perfect "real Japanese... More

Toyko has opened its doors again after needing to be rubbed out and drawn again. As there is some heavy competition in town (e.g Shogun, Behname)for Japanese nowaday, it can now boast to be back on the restaurant list for many locals including my family. The service was excellent, the cruisine delicious and the atmosphere delighful.
