Celebrity Chef's Restaurant Opens At Foxwoods

MASHANTUCKET, CT — Momosan Foxwoods by Morimoto, the seventh location of Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto's restaurant, opened this week at the resort casino's Great Cedar Concourse.

Momosan "isn’t just a dining experience; it’s a masterclass in craftsmanship," according to Foxwoods. "From signature Gyoza and artfully crafted Nigiri to world-class Ramen like Tonkotsu, Spicy Tan-Tan, and Tokyo Chicken, Chef Morimoto is bringing his A-game. And if you haven’t tried fan favorites like the Soft-Shell Crab Bao or Sticky Ribs yet, prepare to be wowed."

The 150-seat restaurant joins other recent celebrity-related additions to the Foxwoods dining lineup, including Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen and Sprinkletown by pasty chef Zac Young. Martha Stewart's The Bedford was announced earlier this year and will open in the fall.

Momosan is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday.

Morimoto "has created a bridge between the culinary traditions of his native Japan and the American palate, bringing intense excitement, exquisite technique, and perfectly balanced flavors to countless diners throughout the world," according to his bio.

He is well known for his role on Iron Chef, a Japanese cooking show that aired regularly on The Food Network and has a total of 24 restaurants.

He opened his first restaurant in Philadelphia in 2001, which was followed by locations in New York, Napa, Honolulu, Boca Raton, Mumbai, Mexico City, Tokyo, and Maui.
