Nene’s at Akabane is pretty good. It’s not the cheapest but it reminds me of home when I’m too lazy to make food. Sometimes they do all you can eat too.
There’s another restaurant near the embassy in Roppongi that’s also not bad. Good luck in your search!
Nah find a kabayan
Remember when they were going to open a Jollibee in Japan? Pepperidge Farms remembers….
Ahh i remember a few years back i ate at a ph restaurant over there. Was excited since i got to eat “kare kare” again after so long. They made it using chicken, had watery soup/sauce. You could also taste the “mama sitas” on thier other dishes. Garlic rice that was made using really mushy rice if felt like eating a garlic flavored “puto”. If you ask me dude, most ph restaurants over here just capitalize on other filipinos missing a taste of home so they do just the bare minimum to make the food.
Bahay ko
While it’s not Tokyo, I would recommend making a trip down to Yokosuka to try this place. Great food with a home cooked vibe. [LOCO COCO](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ianNY8RMbTzG3J3L8)
Filipino restaurants here isn’t good. They are expensive and the portion sizes are small.
I’d recommend you cook your own food. Filipino food isn’t popular outside the Philippines. Filipinos I’ve spoken to don’t know of any restaurants.
I’m not Filipino so I don’t know how authentic it is, but I enjoy the food at [アミーズロティサリーチキン](https://amies.owst.jp/).
(Despite the name , it’s a rotisserie chicken + Philippines cuisine place)
I’ve been to New Nanay’s in Roppongi, which was pretty good.
I’m Filipino and I lived in Tokyo for almost a decade so I can vouch for the Filo restaurants below. This is where I usually go to relieve the homesickness haha
There’s a buffet in Kinshicho. I forgot the name of the resto but I do remember how to get there.
Go out at the South Exit. Turn left and cross the pedestrian to Parco. Turn right, straight ahead and cross another pedestrian lane to Mizuho Bank. Walk straight ahead. Turn left on the first alley by SMBC. If you walk straight, on your left, there will be a small door with a tarpaulin that says “Tapsilog Philippines” or something like that.
They have a grocery store and the food is pretty decent. It’s also run by Filipinos.
Another one is Ana’s Trading in Saitama. This one is pretty difficult to access since it’s in a countryside but the food is also pretty decent. They also sell Filipino pastry.
For New Nanay’s, their food is okay. Not spectacular. Very expensive imo but not satisfying. I only go here if I have business to attend to at the Embassy.
Thai food &Filipino food Dining bar HAROHARO in Nakano.
This one’s an actual restaurant.
I am not Filipino but one day ended in this place and greatly enjoyed the food and the ambiance. Everyone was super welcoming and made me feel included, it was actually a really touching moment, polar opposite from the usual Tokyo vibes!
I would be really surprised if there wasn’t a decent one near one of the bases either in Yokosuka or Yamato/Ayase/Zama area. There are a ton of Filipinos both in the military and as military dependents. While not quite as good as food found in the Philippines, there is a restaurant I quite like here in Sasebo and also a decent one in Misawa.
I’m from Hawaii but I still crave adobo and make it quite often. It’s literally an idiot-proof recipe, you don’t even have to actually actively cook anything. Just throw all the required shit in a pot, turn on the pot, wait 40minsish, bam you’re done.
Not a restaurant but there are some folks selling Filipino food outside of St Ignatius Church at Yotsuya right after the Sunday 12 PM mass. They sell a wide variety of foods like sisig, laing, afritada, adobo, binignit, bihon and a lot more. In terms of quality, I wouldn’t complain since its very to hard to find Filipino food in Tokyo.
Kamayan’s at Tachikawa..Not too “homey” and more of a cafe vibe inside..frequently see some guys from Fussa Airbase since its not that far from there..would recommend their sisig..they also serve set meals served on top of banana leaf as well

would recommend ATE in Nishi-Ogikubo, was my first filipino food experience but I thought it was great!
According to the Filipinos I know, there aren’t any. Happy to be proved wrong though.
Always wondered why there are no Philippine restaurants. Luv the food but not available anywhere
Not in tokyo, either bando or shin matsudo.

Mother’s Kusina ni Ate Glo Philippine Restaurant, near Ueno: https://goo.gl/maps/aEcvpkvdin6gEaPn7
There’s a whole Filipino community around there with a few other restaurants and some questionable bars in the surrounding alleys.
I know this doesn’t help but there is a tabaihodai Filipino restaurant in kakamigahara. It is really good. only 1000yen too!
My friend who is Filipino American and an expert chef does a Filipino pop up kitchen every now and then. It’s really really good!
Looks like there’s a few events this month. Check it out!

Ipo-ipo in Kinshicho
I think there is one in Lala garden Akabane. But I don’t recommend it if you are not from the Philippines yourself.
