Tokyo Tokyo (東京 東京) (Romanization: Tōkyō Tōkyō) is a Filipino restaurant chain specializing in Japanese cuisine.

## History

[edit]

The first Tokyo Tokyo restaurant opened on April 22, 1985 at the Quad Carpark (later Park Square 1) in Makati and at the time was the first Japanese fast-food restaurant to serve unlimited rice with its dishes.[2][3] The chain initially served Japanese dishes such as tempura, tonkatsu, yakisoba, sushi and sashimi. When it opened its first restaurants in 1985, other Japanese restaurants were more traditional; the 'mainstreaming' of the chain's market contributed to the restaurant chain's growth.[3]

By the end of 2013, Tokyo Tokyo had 50 locations nationwide.[3]

As of 2018, Tokyo Tokyo is owned by Hansbury Inc., under the One Food Group, which also owns the Philippine franchise for KFC and Mister Donut.[4]
