Mr Chow Restaurant Debuts in the Middle East

The Riyadh flagship translates the Chinese concept’s brand identity for a new cultural context

Words by: Stephanie Chen • Photos courtesy of MJS Holding

Saudi Arabian restaurant venture MJS Holding enlisted Dubai-based Allen Architecture Interiors Design (AAID) to design the inaugural Mr Chow in the Middle East.

The flagship restaurant, located in Riyadh’s King Abdullah Financial District, marks a milestone for Mr Chow, an upscale Chinese dining concept with locations across the U.S. and UK.

AAID worked with MJS to capture the essence of the restaurant’s brand identity and translate it into a new cultural context. The result is a timeless interior design that reflects a modern deco style with a French-inspired twist.

Ceilings feature embedded LED technology that showcases local and cultural elements through dynamic graphics. At the heart of the space is a circular elevator and a 20-foot-high wrap-around staircase, a focal point that’s synonymous with all Mr Chow venues. A seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces is achieved with a façade that opens out to an outdoor terrace.

Chrome accents are thoughtfully positioned throughout the restaurant to add a touch of modernity and luminance. Limestone, used for flooring and stairs, exudes grandeur, while black mirrored wall panels add depth and mystique. Curved ceiling soffits introduce an artistic dimension and Venetian plaster walls and columns offer a rich, tactile experience.

Gun metal chairs blend comfort and contemporary design, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to elegance and functionality. The fluted bar, bedecked with black stone, stands as an opulent centerpiece for guests to gather around.
