Tokyo Tokyo (東京 東京) (Romanization: Tōkyō Tōkyō) is a Japanese cuisine restaurant chain in the Philippines.

History

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 is also the owner of the franchise for KFC and Mister Donut in the Philippines.[4]
