A toko (Malay for shop) is a shop in the Netherlands selling mainly Asian food products of which the owners are generally Indo-European, Indonesian, Surinamese,[1] Chinese or Vietnamese.
Tokos have become a common type of shop in Dutch cities since the repatriation of Dutch colonial expats and Indo-Europeans during and after the Indonesian revolution in the late '40s and early '50s. Tokos originally sold products from the former Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia).
In the Dutch language the word toko has become an informal name for any type of company or organisation.
