A Michelin-recognised destination redefining Chinese cuisine in the Kingdom.
Toki, one of Jeddah’s most distinguished dining destinations and proudly featured in the Michelin Guide for Saudi Arabia, welcomes guests into a world where heritage, craftsmanship and contemporary refinement come together with effortless grace.
Celebrated for its ability to harmonise Cantonese and Szechuan flavours with subtle Western influences, the restaurant offers an experience that feels deeply rooted in tradition yet seamlessly aligned with today’s dining sophistication.
The spirit of Toki is reflected not only in its cuisine but in its meticulously designed interiors. Modern sophistication is woven seamlessly into the timeless aesthetic of Chinese art-deco, drawing inspiration from the glamour of old Shanghai to create a space that feels serene and inviting.
Soft lighting and vibrant music add to the ambiance, shaping an environment defined by dimmed elegance, curated energy and the quiet confidence that only true artistry can bring. Boldly modern, yet unmistakably rooted in authentic Chinese soul, Toki’s setting elevates the dining experience while preserving a sense of intimacy and comfort.
Complementing this refined setting, Toki introduces a Monthly Special that showcases the restaurant’s evolving creative vision. This month’s feature: Caramelized Beef Ribs (SAR 158), enriched with caramelized cream, peanuts, tograshi pepper and soy sauce, offering a flavour profile that is both bold and beautifully balanced.
Toki’s menu is shaped by a commitment to honouring the foundations of Chinese culinary heritage while embracing contemporary techniques. Each dish is crafted with precision and intention, unfolding like a series of moments meant to be remembered. Textures interplay, flavours deepen and every plate reveals a considered balance between richness and restraint.
Delicacies such as the Wagyu “Shen Jing” Bun with crispy duck skin and quail egg, the Black Cod Dumpling touched with caviar and the Foie Gras Roasted Duck Su layered with sesame, mango, coriander and XO orange introduces guests to an elevated expression of dim sum tradition. Starters such as the Mango Prawn and a classic Bang Bang Chicken, deliver a balanced interplay of freshness, warmth and understated depth.
At the heart of the restaurant lies the celebrated Duck Roastery, home to some of Toki’s most iconic preparations. The Szechuan Crispy Duck presented with homemade pancakes and plum relish, and the Toki Peking Duck accompanied by both classic and reimagined garnishes, exemplify the kitchen’s devotion to technique and flavour.
The Toki Style Tomahawk offers a bold interpretation, pairing duck-oven roasting with Chinese crushed potatoes and a rich black pepper sauce. From the Land and Sea, highlights such as Black Pepper Wagyu Tenderloin, Braised Beef Ribs with king mushroom and white radish, Honey Black Pepper Lobster and Chilli Tiger Prawn with Chinese water chestnut and black mushroom continue the narrative of balance, innovation and respect for time-honoured tradition.
A selection of signature mocktails brings a refreshing dimension to the experience, from the vibrant Jade Fizz with cucumber, apple, passion fruit and yuzu, to the delicately balanced Pink Lady and the tropical Dragon Sour. Tea infusions such as the soothing Flowering Tea of jasmine, lavender, amaranth & green tea, and the subtly fragrant Mango Mohalabia blend, further enrich the sensory journey.
With its distinction in the Michelin Guide for Saudi Arabia, Toki stands as a testament to enduring culinary excellence. It remains committed to celebrating the beauty of Chinese cuisine while embracing the tastes and expectations of today’s diners. Whether hosting a family gathering, celebratory occasion or an romantic intimate evening, Toki offers an experience defined by elegance, cultural reverence and heartfelt hospitality – an invitation to savour time, tradition and pleasure of shared moments.
