Since its grand debut in January 2025, Chotto Matte Riyadh has swiftly positioned itself as a culinary landmark in KAFD, offering bold Japanese-Peruvian (Nikkei) flavors within a dynamic, design-led setting.

The venue is a feast for the senses, blending urban sophistication with natural motifs. Its bold interiors—designed by London’s Superfutures—feature lava-stone elements, Shou Sugi Ban wood, plush greenery, and striking graffiti by street artist Big Moe, all under a mirrored ceiling that echoes the angular architecture of Riyadh’s skyline.

At the core of the experience is Nikkei cuisine, artfully interpreted by Executive Chef Jordan Sclare. Signature highlights include tuna tataki with truffle ponzu, black cod ají miso, flame-seared wagyu with yuzu soy, and spicy yellowtail sashimi—all celebrated for their depth and presentation. The theatrical open sushi counter and robata grill amplify the ambiance, while innovative mocktails crafted to pair with the menu complete the indulgence.

From stylish mocktails and dramatic plating to deep cultural roots and an energetic soundtrack, Chotto Matte delivers a polished, immersive dining experience—one that speaks to both Riyadh’s evolving culinary scene and the bold spirit of Nikkei cuisine.
