Franchising a Tokyo Tokyo Restaurant

There is no question that Filipinos really love to eat – proof of that are the many restaurants, food stalls, carinderias, and shops you will find everywhere you go.

And while most Pinoys prefer Pinoy food and delicacies, we have also learned to embrace cuisine from other countries, particularly from neighboring countries like China, Japan, and South Korea.

Tokyo Tokyo is a Japanese restaurant whose first shop in the Philippines was opened at the Quad Car Park (now the Glorietta) back in 1985. Today, there are over 60 Tokyo Tokyo restaurants across the Philippines – and the next one to open might be yours!
