Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto is bringing his acclaimed ramen restaurant, Momosan, to Foxwoods Resort Casino next spring.

Representatives for the Mashantucket casino announced the opening Thursday. It will be the seventh location of Morimoto’s ramen concept, and the first of his restaurants to open at a Northeast casino, they said. Momosan currently has locations in Boston, New York City, Seattle, Honolulu, Miami and San Jose, California.

The 150-seat restaurant will serve several varieties of ramen, including tonkotsu with pork broth and chashu pork, spicy tan-tan with spicy sesame broth and miso ground pork, and Tokyo chicken. The menu will also feature sushi rolls and nigiri, gyoza and small plates like soft shell crab bao and Morimoto’s signature sticky ribs.
