    First bite. Tartlet with eggplant, miso, and Asian pear. It was hard to hear/discern the Japanese name.

    We had a great time at Mujo. The food, drink, and service were outstanding; excellent quality with an incredible attention to detail. That said, as someone who has been to a lot of comparable restaurants I give Mujo "only" four out of five stars. Relatively speaking, I thought the overall experience and value was good, not great. Mujo opened on February 16, 2022, next door to popular Basque restaurant Cooks & Soldiers. They're part of the same restaurant group with Double Zero, Sugo, and The Iberian Pig. All good restaurants. Mujo is located on street level of the Cottonwood Westside apartment building. The low-key storefront/entrance faces Howell Mill Rd. Enter from 14th St for valet parking. Unfortunately, during our visit on a Wednesday night, the valet lot was full. One of the valet guys suggested parking across the street at The Interlock. Instead, I parked across the street inside the Westside Provisions District garage. The WSPD garage is less expensive and about the same walking distance to Mujo. I paid $6.50 (rate for 2-4 hours). Mujo's claim to fame was earning one of Atlanta's first Michelin stars in October 2023. They retained their star in October 2024. Mujo releases reservations at 10am on the first of every month for the following month. For example, on February 1, you can book reservations for March. I did the booking for our party of four on the third of the month and there were still several times available. Mujo does two staggered seatings per night: (1) 5:30 and 6:00pm and (2) 8:30 and 9:00pm. The dining room seats only 15 people, at a wraparound bar/counter. There's also a koshitsu (private room) that seats five or six guests. At the time of writing this, the koshitsu offers a "seasonal" omakase experience at a higher price: $275 per person. In our reservation confirmation email, Mujo wrote: "Guests are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy our private craft cocktail bar prior to the sushi bar seating, time and space permitting. This intimate 6 seat bar is reserved for sushi bar guests only." All four of us arrived no later than 40 minutes early to take advantage. It was fun. The bar is tiny, though. Below is a list of what we had. If you order any temaki supplement, I recommend one temaki per person. The hand rolls here are small -- the smallest I've seen anywhere. For the omakase items, I added more detail than what the printed menu showed based on what I heard from the staff as they served each dish. Cocktails * Pendennis Club ($22) - not on printed menu * Silent Bishop ($24) - Alipus mezcal, yellow chartreuse, rabarbaro (Italian for rhubarb), ginger, lemon, egg white * Hojiso Highball ($24) - barley shochu, shiso syrup, lemon, soda, preserved plum * Tanabe Club ($23) - Cognac Park VS, Old Tom Gin, umeshu, kabosu, vanilla, Peychaud's Bitters Seasonal Omakase ($245 per person) First Bite * Tartlet with eggplant, miso, and Asian pear; hard to hear/discern the Japanese name Zensai * Mushroom Ankake - grilled matsutake mushrooms, local hakurei turnip, seasoned dashi glaze, shavings of (indiscernible) * Buri Daikon - wild yellowtail grilled and glazed with kabayaki sauce, braised daikon; radish and ginger on top * Chawanmushi - savory steamed egg custard, celery root, seared Hokkaido scallop, gin-an sauce, chives Otsumami supplement * Kegani ($65) - Hokkaido hairy crab, tosazu, mozuku Nigiri Sushi - made and served by our assigned sushi chef, Grace * Shima Aji - striped jack * Kohada - Japanese shad * Sawara - Spanish mackerel * Aji - horse mackerel Temaki supplement * Uni Temaki ($28) - Hokkaido uni, cucumber, shiso Otsumami supplement * Foie Gras Monaka ($29) - persimmon, shiso, Japanese wafer * Sanma - pike mackerel * Miso Shiru (miso soup) - served halfway through sushi portion of omakase menu * Kamasu - Japanese barracuda * Tsumuburi - rainbow runner * Toro - fatty tuna * Uni - sea urchin Temaki supplement * Negitoro Temaki ($25) - fatty tuna, wasabi, green onion * Atsuyaki Tamago - my piece was made with whitefish because of my crustacean allergy; standard version made with shrimp * Hot green tea Dessert * Roasted Sesame Ice Cream - miso rum caramel, satsumaimo, puffed rice Final Bites * Muscadine yuzu puff (?), campari nectarine mizuoka (?), white chocolate matcha ganache with coconut - I put question marks because it was hard to hear/discern The main differences between Mujo and most of my other omakase experiences: 1. Loud music and less intimate vibe. It's certainly a chance of pace; a lot more Westernized. 2. More of an "omakase by committee" rather than being tended to by a single chef and one or two servers. There were several sushi chefs, each assigned to a group of customers. 3. Least filling. Even with supplements, I wasn't completely full afterwards. Usually, I'm bursting at the seams after omakase. 4. Less personable and more pretentious. We felt like just another number being churned through a system (a very nice, well-coordinated system).

    We had an amazing experience at Mujo! Their Michelin Star is well deserved this place is truly a hidden gem. Finding the restaurant was a bit tricky since the sign is so tiny, but once inside, we were warmly welcomed. We had a 9 PM reservation, arrived a little early, and were seated at the bar while we waited. The bartender was fantastic! I told him I didn't see a drink I wanted on the menu, and he offered to create something special with tequila and passion fruit mind you, I don't even like passion fruit, but this drink was perfect. Not too strong, not too sweet, just right. I also appreciated how detailed he was; he carefully brought down all the ingredients and crafted the drink right in front of us, which isn't something you see often. Once our table was ready, we moved to the Omakase area and were greeted warmly by the staff. The service was top-notch they even pulled out our seats and made sure we were comfortable. David was our chef for the night, and he was incredible! Super knowledgeable, about each fish. He explained how some of the fish are prepped and dry-aged, which was fascinating to hear. Watching him slice each piece in front of us was such a treat. Unlike other places, he made each nigiri one by one, ensuring we ate it at the perfect moment while the rice was still warm. I honestly can't remember all the types of fish we had, but every single bite was phenomenal. The best quality fish I've had in Atlanta! If I had to pick a favorite, it would hands-down be the fatty tuna (Toro) it was the most buttery, melt-in-your-mouth Toro I've ever had! A close second would be the horse mackerel, which completely surprised me. Normally, I expect mackerel to have a fishy taste, but this one was sweet and savory, absolutely delicious. We also got the caviar add-on, and wow it was perfectly paired with the warm toast and that incredible butter (I need to know what butter that was!). Every bite was perfection. Overall, Mujo delivers an immaculate dining experience, and I highly recommend it. From the service to the drinks to the Omakase itself, everything was flawless. If you're in Atlanta and looking for an unforgettable meal, this is the place!

    I was home visiting family and friends, and decided to check out the Atlanta food scene again. It's been a while since I've been in New York for a minute now. I was surprised walking in because it felt like I was back in New York. The ambience and food were amazing. Looking forward to coming back again in the future.

    Exceptional omakase dinner with high end sake' served in stemware. The timing of the meal was perfect, no lag time in between courses, and the portions were good. It was a thoughtfully planned and executed meal including the toasted sesame ice cream for dessert. I enjoyed the atmosphere and music, as well as extremely attentive service throughout.

    Went here for my 25th birthday celebration! My first Omakase experience which also happens to be a Michelin Star restaurant. It is $$$ experience ofc. Valet only and in the heart of midtown. The restaurant itself is small but beautiful. Simple and elegant design. A very authentic experience. The service was immaculate. There is staff on the floor throughout the experience to answer any questions and to clean up. They were so nice that I asked for a Coke (yes I know) and they got it from next door. The dishes were well curated and we had a wonderful chef who served us each piece of nigiri by hand. Each with a different flavor profile. The dessert was chef's kiss. Why I deducted a point is because it wasn't the best food I have ever had. It was unique yes, but the food was very mediocre. I would not pay that price again for the food I got. I highly recommend for a unique experience!

    If you're able to secure a reservation at @mujoatl you're so lucky. I enjoyed my experience and met some amazing people there. The amount of fun I had at my visit was amazing!!! Even our servers were entertained!!! The food was delicious!!! The service was outstanding!!! The atmosphere was incredible!!! I was so lucky to grab a spot at this @michelinguide restaurant.

    Nice sushi chef, and the fish was all very fresh. Wasn't anything mind-blowing, but it was a really good meal.

    Perfection. The price tag is worth it. The Omakase experience is something I love and cherish and this place just does it right! I absolutely love it here and I will continue to be a customer and a fan! Mujo is by far my favorite Omakase spot in Atlanta!

    I've been hearing that this place was amazing so I gave it a try even though i thought the pricing was over the top. Mujo is located in Howell Mill Rd next to Cooks and Soldiers. There's valet in the deck that's right across from Interlock, in the same building as Mujo. They do free coat check for you as soon as you walk in and they help you push you in on the chair, like an actual omakase spots in NY and there was about 20 bar seats and about 5+ chefs preparing and serving you. I thought the hot foods were amazing start. It infused French sauces and they selected all the ingredients that are hard to mess up like scallop, cod, and fried Asian pumpkin. For the nigiri, the texture of the fish was great but lacked innovation as it came with the same exact sauce every time. Towards the end, everything just tasted the same. Please integrate wasabi, salt, or other sauces. Also, please do not ruin tomago. It's a simple ingredient and yet they give you a bland egg bread. For someone that can't go without sugar, I took one bite of the dessert. I would recommend getting a pastry chef. I know they were trying to make a fusion mattang but it wasn't that great along with the sesame ice cream. Overall, Castellucci group has another great restaurant under their belt but the meal cost me more than the 3 stars Michelin omakase that I just had in Tokyo. While it is one of the top omakase spots in Atlanta, definitely overpriced and I'm not sure that I would be back. Also, please stick to one genre of music. Since you're going for the clubbing vibe, I would stick to the music that's playing in the restroom or stick to classical. It killed the vibe when the songs went from r&b, pop, and then country. As many of other reviwers, I wasn't a huge fan of being herded to eat my food by the staff members in the back either. And typically, staff do not carry on a conversation right behind you in other omakases. Reservation wise, you have to set your calendar at 10AM on the first of the month to grab a spot through Resy or check back for any last minute cancellations.

    This restaurant deserves to be Michelin star! Truly the best restaurant in Atlanta. I would like to begin by saying the services was exceptional!! Everyone is very attentive to your needs, they hold fresh conversations, & the services just makes your experience so enjoyable. Seating is very small, I think it's aprox 14 people allowed during 1 sitting. You have the opportunity to speak with the chefs. I didn't get a chance to take much pictures because 1 dinning is very intimate, & 2 I did not want to take away from the restaurants menu. Their menu changes often therefore the pictures I post probably won't be there again. The food is sensational! My boyfriend and I are very big on flavors & texture. The food met every single taste bud requirement. We also left very satisfied. We added the snow beef to our meal, which I highly recommend. This place is very pricy, but it's definitely worth it. My boyfriend & I agreed we would make a yearly visit here. This is probably one of the best restaurants I've experienced in my life time.

    Last week I finally scored a reservation at the intimate, 20 seat, @michelinguide Mujo in West Midtown. The unparalleled omakase experience comes with 3 Zensai, 10 sushi courses like Japanese barracuda, miso soup, delectable dessert, and a beverage pairing with an array of tasty sake, wine, and cocktail pairings to add on if you chose. On top of that, they have a list of amazing add ons and a large cocktail, wine, and sake menu you may try a la carte. Here's more about my meal: Zensai: Included some delectable dishes like my favorite the Hata Sakemushi that's the best piece of grouper I've ever had then topped with a sensational cream sauce and peas. I wanted to lick the bowl. Also really liked tempura mushroom with burnt eggplant and squid ink, as well as the warm custard with soft white asparagus and ramps. Sushi: The fish they selected are incredibly unique like fluke, seabream, or spotted knife jaw to name a few. They're super fresh and my favorite was the almost creamy and fatty toro, the goldeneye snapper, and I have to tell you about the Japanese barracuda! Earthy and charred! I was excited to try something new like this! Dessert: Roasted Sesame ice cream that's creamy and topped with rich and boozy miso rum caramel and puffed rice. Beverage pairing: 7 different beverage tastings that including a sensational Seikyo sake and a surprising Smith Madrone Riesling out of Napa Valley that drinks like a voignier! Add ons: I got two add ons and they were both upscale delicacies! The foie gras was creamy and topped with biter and sweet jam on top and floral arrangements in a puffy crunchy shell that is to be eaten like an ice cream sandwich. Waygu hand roll is two very meaty, charred, and rich meat rolled up with accoutrements in seaweed. Cocktails: The celery and gin cocktail was one of the best I've ever had! The celery infused gin was perfection. They vacuum seal the celery to bring out the flavor and it really is earthy, and herbaceous. The staff waited on me hand and foot and knew everything about the menu and beverage pairing to a T. They were impeccable!! I will admit it is pricy, but it is about the experience.

    Well done edomae style sushi. Very expensive, so definitely plan for it to be a real splurge date night thing. Service is excellent, all the staff were very attentive. The Omakase course consists of 3 Zensai (Appetizers), 10 Nigiri Sushi, and Dessert. Miso Soup comes in part way through the Nigiri course. Some green tea is provided as well. There are some add-ons you can request as part of your Omakase course, each costing extra from Tsumami (Snacks), Hand Rolls, and drink pairing courses. Everything was prepared with the utmost care, except one piece of nigiri where the rice fell apart. Hence, the one star reduction. Was it the best sushi I've had ever? No. Was it a great experience, yes. That being said, there does appear to be very high potential here and I can see why it's popular. It's been awhile since I've been to either Hayakawa or Umi, but those two still stand out as my favorites in ATL for Sushi Bar / Edomae style omakase.

    Mujo is amazing. Finding the entrance can be a bit tough. However, you should use the valet parking in the cottonwood lot. You will the. Go up the stairs, down a hallway and turn right at the street. This is ALL worth it because the experience is unbelievable. Start in the ante-chamber bar where you will have a complex drink made right in front of you with a very knowledgeable bartender. Ready to explain the drink and its story. After that the staff will escort you to the back room sushi bar which has very limited seating and a great atmosphere. You get personalized chef prepared sushi (omakase). The flavors of the entire menu was amazing and complex. Be sure to really savor all of the tastes as they change and evolve in your mouth. Just an amazing experience. Do yourself a favor and visit this restaurant! It's an experience like no other.

Maybe I should try again... but the strawberries were sour, and I couldn't taste anything besides the sour strawberry and creamy avocado then with the addition of soy sauce after trying to find a good balance, I found the roll confusing. Any of the ramen choices are fine, it's good enough, but I would personally go elsewhere if I was craving ramen in Midtown.

It's in a very walkable area if you happen to be day-chilling on the Beltline, so parking is truly up to you.

And if you get lucky, there's street parking! A friend and I arrived a little earlier than our group and sat at the bar for our first drink. The decor is so soft and modern, and the plush bar seats were definitely a plus. The cocktail menu was very balanced in my opinion, with something for everyone. If you have a specific taste, definitely talk to the bartender or server for guidance before ordering. I believe I had a cocktail called Smoking Jacket that was delicious! We were seated promptly at our reservation time and had a great time. I'll need to go back to try the rolls because I was too caught up in the miso soup with crab meat, the baked lobster tempura, and the fatty salmon sashimi. The only thing I would say is that service dragged near the end when we had to wait a while before receiving our checks. Everyone had been done for a while, but I also understand that restaurants have pops of business and volume, so it wasn't a big deal. Still one of my favorite sushi experiences this year!

The hand rolls aren't pictured here but I also love those. The Otoro tuna is INSANE. If there's anything you have to try on the menu it's that!! It melts in your mouth. Parking isn't validated, but you might be able to find street parking in the area. Right in the middle of everything on the Beltline, which makes it a perfect stop. Get a reservation!

I went on a Friday morning, and the restaurant was moderately busy there were spaces open, however, it was still active, and there were a few full tables and people having conversations. They had anime and various other things playing on the televisions throughout. I went in for simply a pastry and specifically to try out the apple pie Matcha. I will say it did not disappoint. One thing I always love when I'm getting a Matcha is stellar presentation and it met that. With the piping of the cinnamon cold cold foam, to the apple crisp and caramel on top, it looked beautiful, and I was happy to enjoy it! This had a great balance between the whole milk, and the amount of Matcha you can see it is a nice dark green color It also wasn't too sweet, and I felt I was getting apple pie from the drink through the hint of spices in there, along with the garnish. I was able to secure a table against the wall for two by myself to take a quick snapshot of my tray and try out my drink before leaving. I also got a caramelized onion croissant with Gruyère cheese. These were both strong flavors, that worked well together. I do wish I could've gotten heated, but maybe that's something you have to do upon request. Overall, I can't wait to go back and try some of the other items, and dine at the restaurant in the future, looking forward to the next seasonal drink! ** be sure to park in the lot next-door, to have it validated inside!**

It's a great place people often celebrate their birthdays at with top quality tastes. While Nakato didn't quite compete with Kobe's elegant interior or food quality, I did find it to be one of the best I've found so far in Atlanta! The exterior is very nice and I read that they renovated the interior. It feels very family friendly and welcoming. My husband and I got an avocado roll and a shrimp tempura roll (minus the masago this time) to share as an appetizer, which were so yummy! These rolls definitely hit the spot and we were tempted to order more but decided to be patient for the main event. We were seated at a table with a bunch of teens celebrating two birthdays, which was fine. The chef was funny in his interactions with them, and was polite to us as well. For my protein, I chose the shrimp & chicken. I almost just chose chicken because the meal already comes with a small serving of shrimp (I believe two shrimps), but my husband convinced me to get both so he could help me finish the shrimp (he doesn't really eat chicken). For my husband's protein, he went with the shrimp and scallops. As with most hibachi/teppanyaki places, we had clear broth mushroom soup to start. They were simple but comforting. Then, we were given our ginger house salads. The dressing is intense but I love intense. I mixed it into the lettuce and it was great. Next, our chef started on our meals. We were given grilled vegetables, noodles, fried rice (you can have for an upcharge from the regular white steamed rice, which is what our entire table and us did), and our proteins. I'm so glad I ended up getting half shrimp because it was very good! Sadly, I must say, skip the chicken. It was a little chewy, a tad dry, and pretty flavorless. The yum yum sauce helped. My husband's scallops were great... very tender and flavorful. The noodles were okay... I just prefer the linguine I get at Kobe's to these squiggly thin noodles that feel almost more ramen-like but not quite. I can't help but compare... and I understand that what I'm used to is probably not "authentic." Please excuse my ignorance. The veggies were pretty good but I'm used to a bit more of an al dente grilled bite versus soft. The fried rice was excellent. Very tasty! Portions are great and prices seem fair! Over all, we had a good experience here and are excited to return.
