Gourmet Restaurant

Located in Via Riyadh, Hocho presents a simple décor and relaxed atmosphere enhanced by pleasant music, with staff who are attentive and welcoming. The kitchen emphasizes fresh ingredients and clean flavors, while the exclusive Kobe beef section, authentic, halal, and directly imported from Japan, sets the restaurant apart as both a dining destination and a distributor for the Saudi market. Diners can enjoy both playful interpretations: samosa with chili mayo, kibbeh with yuzu tahini, tacos, grape leaves maki, crispy rice, or sushi flamed to order; and refined creations such as carpaccio with yuzu ponzu and truffle or premium ribeye, striploin, and tenderloin steaks, each cut showcasing the exceptional marbling and depth of flavor. A private area is also available, where the chef can prepare a tailor-made meal directly for you and your guests, adding a touch of exclusivity to the experience.
