TOKO

in a nutshell: A downtown izakaya with all-you-can-eat dim sum An izakaya-style restaurant that’s luxe yet laid back, just like the Vida Hotel that it calls home. A hidden green oasis in Downtown Dubai, the natural tones, pale wooden furniture and pastel paper parasols will make you feel like you’re in a Japanese garden, although it’s actually an Australian import. To make the most of the menu, check out the newly launched all-you-can-eat dim sum nights on Tuesdays, when you get unlimited dim sum plus three bottles of beer or three mocktails for Dhs195 from 7pm to 10pm.
