Hung told TV Guide that he wants to open his own restaurant at some point. "Definitely, in maybe three to five years; I'm not in a rush to be an owner, because that takes so much risk. I would want to do it in New York City or San Francisco, but primarily New York."
He added, "It would be very approachable to the general public; I want the real people and have repeat customers, not have people come once or twice a year. It would have a lot of Asian influence, with great technique and global influence. Servings small, big plates, where people can try a lot of dishes. I want people to come in and have fun."
