In 2001, he opened his first restaurant in Philadelphia, which was later followed by restaurants in New York, Napa, Boca Raton, Mumbai, Mexico City, Tokyo and Maui. Morimoto Asia Orlando at Disney Springs debuted in 2015; followed by Momosan Ramen and Sake NYC and Morimoto Las Vegas at MGM Grand in 2016; and Morimoto Asia Waikiki, Momosan Waikiki, Morimoto Dubai and Morimoto Doha in 2018.

This year, he will continue to expand his Momosan brand with a location opening in Brooklyn in addition to Hub Hall.
