Harrison Ono, Chef

Harrison Ono is the Executive Chef of Momofuku Las Vegas. Born and raised in Fountain Valley, California, Harrison Ono got his start in the medical field before making the leap to the kitchen. After trading in hospital scrubs for chef whites, he gained experience across Southern California—from luxury hotels like Montage Laguna Beach to restaurants such as Hiro Nori Ramen in Irvine and ARC Food and Libations in Costa Mesa —before moving to Las Vegas in 2021 to join the Momofuku team at the beloved Majordomo Meat and Fish, before joining Momofuku Las Vegas in summer 2022. Since then, Ono has risen through the ranks from cook to executive chef, driven by a love of Korean cuisine, a deep respect for teamwork, and a desire to create joyful dining experiences. He's excited to fold his Japanese heritage into his work at the restaurant through embracing simplicity and high quality ingredients. When he's not in the kitchen, you can find him out on the golf course.
