Sukiya (ãÂÂãÂÂ家, stylized as SUKIYA) is a Japanese restaurant chain specializing in gyà «don (beef bowl). It is the largest gyà «don chain in Japan. It operates over 2,000 stores in Japan, and has branch stores across Asia. Sukiya's owner, Zensho Holdings, is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and had sales of ÃÂ¥511 billion in 2016.
Its slogan, printed in English outside the restaurant, is "Save Time and Money". Aside from beef bowls, Sukiya also offers curry, and a wide variety of other foods.
The first Sukiya opened in 1982 in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. It was founded by Kentarà  Ogawa (å°Âå·Â賢太éÂÂ), who originally worked at Yoshinoya, another gyà «don restaurant. Ogawa also founded Zensho Holdings, which owns Sukiya.
Unlike its competitor Yoshinoya, Sukiya did not stop serving gyà «don during the 2004 ban on American beef imports, instead switching to beef imported from Australia. In response to Yoshinoya's butadon (pork bowl, a substitute for gyà «don), Sukiya began serving its own version, tondon.
