Ever been scrolling through those Instagram Japanese pancake videos, thinking, “Where on earth can I find these jiggly delights in our city?” Well, worry not, because we’ve cracked the code and found the two Japanese pancake paradises you’ve been dreaming of here in Riyadh!
First up, meet Okawa! Their Instagram is practically a pancake wonderland, filled with stacks that’ll make your eyes pop.

And as if that’s not enough, pair ’em with matcha or raspberry cold brews that are like the pancake’s cool BFFs.
They’re open from 6:00 AM to 1:00 AM on most days and even stretching it until 2:00 AM on Thursdays and Fridays. And the best part? Prices are super friendly, ranging from 32 to 34 SA!
The pancake party doesn’t stop there! Head to Eat Lazy Cat for the fluffiest and thickest Japanese pancakes in Riyadh! Coming all the way from Kuwait, this spot in Laysen Valley is not just about pancakes – it’s a whole vibe! And guess what? They’ve got blue matcha – talk about a game-changer!
At Riyadh’s Eat Lazy Cat, you can explore the flavor town with matcha Japanese pancakes at SAR 45 or go all-in with the Crème Brulèe Japanese Pancakes at SAR 50.
