Phenomenal experience from the food and drinks, sushi chefs, staff. The experience is hard to beat. Hidden gem. Very low key meets high end omakase. Everyone was so attentive... Chef Yang was AWESOME! Every course was so thought out, well explained and delicious. Insanely unique flavors, fresh fish flown in Japan that day. The cocktails and wine were perfect too. I could go on and on. Make a reservation- but don't take mine! I cannot wait to go back. read more

Hard to find the words. Best meal experience I've ever had. Was a very special occasion for us and as you've read, was not cheap. But I have no regrets about the money spent and in fact am already plotting our next special occasion there. There wasn't a single bite that didn't knock our socks off, all the way up to the dessert which was one of the best desserts I've ever had - maybe the one thing I totally unexpected going into it. read more

This place definitely has the "cool" factor going for them. You enter through a large door with very little markings on it. There are about 10-12 seats to the entire restaurant. The waiters literally stand behind you and wait on you throughout the experience. I would definitely call this tasting menu an experience that you will likely not forget. The food was amazing and mentioned to my wife that this one will make the Michelin star list. And recently it was recognized as such. read more

Did not know what to expect at Mujo, but was pleasantly surprised from the first bite to the last. The meal was superb, and the standouts imo were the chawanmushi(steamed custard) and the nigiri sushi. My favorite pieces were the sea bass, sea bream, and the chutoro but all the pieces were superb. So glad I got to try Mujo and look forward to visiting again next time I'm in Atlanta. Chef Jordan was great. Highly recommend checking out Mujo! read more

A beautiful, unique experience. The ambiance was so elegant and the entire night felt so smooth. The service here is impeccable and the staff are all so kind and informative. I loved our server and how knowledgeable he was on all of the alcohol pairings and foods. If you ever get the chance to experience it, I highly recommend the alcohol pairing. I also tried dishes I truly never had before. And even after a year later, I still think about my first experience here! Truly unforgettable!! read more

Best sushi in Atlanta hands down. Definitely a special occasion spot, but WELL worth it. Omakase is the only option I believe. The wine list is stellar! read more

Disappointed is an understatement. I have been waiting WEEKS for this reservation. Unfortunately, 2 days before our reservation we had to cancel because of a death in the immediate family. We notified 52 hours in advance, but the reservation policy is 72 hours. My card was charged $980. I called to explain the circumstances, but had to leave a voicemail. Instead of returning my call, Katy from Mujo texted me that she was sorry for my loss. She said unless I could come or have someone fill the spots, that the best they could do is use the fee as a credit towards the next time I come (no upcoming reservations available). I am a previous customer (before they received a Michelin star) and had raved about their service. I am shocked by the lack of humanity and understanding of a horrible situation I am in. I of course had every intention of returning at a later date, but this entire experience has made me not want to. 2/4 seats were filled, and still they said I am unable to receive a refund, and I should be thankful I am even getting a "credit". Mujo made no attempts to fill the seats until hours before the reservation. It feels like they don't actually want customers - just to collect your cancellation fees. Instead of spending today with my loved ones, I spent it texting with Katy from Mujō and trying to find someone to take a last minute reservation. 0/10 customer experience. This Michelin Star spot has lost my recommendation and respect. You can keep my $980, and I hope you are treated differently when going through an unimaginable loss. read more

It's expensive but easily the best sushi in Atlanta. The dining experience is very intimate. Great date night if you can snag a reservation. read more

best restaurant in Atlanta, by far in so many aspects. Fabulous service, excellent menu , wine, saki and food.

We were honored to sit in the presence of Chef himself. We enjoyed ourselves beyond our expectations. Staff was incredibly attentive and well-versed in the menu. There were thoughtful little details here and there. We have been waiting to score this elusive reservation that usually sells out within minutes of opening the slots for the next month. I'm so pleased we were able to get in last minute. We really hope to return sooner than later. read more

Wish I could rate the food, but I didn't get to enjoy. I had tried to get reservations here for months and finally snagged a coveted spot that would serve as our anniversary dinner (anniversary was the week prior). We flew into ATL earlier in the day, checked into our hotel, then I came down with an eye issue (turned out to be an adverse reaction to prescription eye drops) a few hours before our reservation. (The issue ultimately swelled my eyes shut & required overnight medical care). My wife called, told the restaurant the situation, and they asked if they needed to cancel both reservations. She said she would still be coming and went on to the restaurant. No mention of still charging me was ever made on the phone. Her meal was very good, if not worth (per her) the hype this place gets. After the meal, she was presented with a bill for her omakase/drinks/apps, plus the full charge for my missed meal. I own a business, as well, so I understand cancellation policies. However, I take individual situations into consideration, as any business should. I certainly didn't book $1000 in airfare, a $400 hotel room, and note that it was our anniversary on Resy as some sort of plot to screw this place out of money. The management here is greedy & inflexible and are simply poor business people. Any desire I had to ever some back vanished in a second, so I'll have to live without Mujo, or any of the group's other places such as C & S. May the owners here one day have a painful medical emergency compounded by getting screwed over while you're down. read more

This isn't close to being a 1 star (or any star) experience The sushi/omakase is average at best for this price point I got an "supplement" that was perch and it was close to $30 for a single piece. The price point is way too high for what they serve The service, especially the sommelier, is overly fussy and, I found frankly pushy. With alcohol, the "supplement(s)," and gratuity, the meal was around $450 or 500. Just not worth it on any measure. Nothing was memorable. Don't confuse expensive with exquisite. read more

This was such a great experience. The ambiance is very chic and you sat around the chefs in bar style seating where you get to see them work their magic. The food was amazing and worth the price. Great for special occasions. read more

This is what you get from Mujo in return for sending a single, honest email in private instead of leaving a negative review for the world to see, out of the respect and appreciation I had for my experience at Cooks & Soldiers. I didn't even ask for a refund and my wife choked on a fishbone, for context. He said he couldn't trust a "frog" in a well with no view of the ocean, in Japanese (in case you couldn't read it, because I could), which is a common expression used in Japan to call someone "uncultured." Fred Castellucci, owner of Mujo, Cooks & Soldiers, Sugo, Iberian Pig, and Double Zero was CC'd on this email. Well, if you can't trust my opinion, then you certainly can't have my money. Although, I'm not so sure what was so uncultured about me. Was it because I walked in with an African American wife? Is that why you disrespected us so egregiously? I think the Kentucky in their sushi chef is starting to show. I don't know who they had to grease to get that star, but I no longer trust Michelin and won't buy their premium tires for my car as I am completely astonished by their lack of standards and integrity. Yokohamas and Perrellis are kinda cooler anyway. By the way, within an hour of sending my email, I was looked up on a Linked-In profile that I made and never even used once, years ago, and never received notifications from until the day I sent my email. Creepy. I will never eat at another Castellucci Hospitality Group owned establishment, again. Which is a travesty because Cooks & Soldiers was actually a really nice, unique for Atlanta experience, and I frequent that area so much with my wife and friends due to Westside Provisions District, but I will not allow myself to be disrespected like this again. I would have been fine with an apology. Correction, I'm irrelevant, if you merely would have ate your well deserved humble pie and apologized for what happened to my wife, on Valentine's Day, I would have been happy. But instead you provided us with terrible food, terrible atmosphere, and an overall terrible experience, and then proceeded to disrespect me for not being happy about it. You have no honor and you belong in Atlanta. -でーん read more

Mujo - The response. - Japanese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

What can one say about Mujo that hasn't already been said? My wife and I attended an omakase there last Saturday evening and from the moment we walked in being greeted by the maitre d' Katy Reese until we left a couple of hours later, we were in a state of pure bliss. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside while feeling incredibly intimate. We were able to sit right in front of the sushi chef who engaged with us throughout the entire process, educating us on the quality of the fish, where they ship it from, the difference in quality of the Uni, information on different fish that we hadn't experienced before. The staff were there every step of the way to make sure we were happy and not in need of anything. The quality of the fish and beef was unlike anything we've had and that is saying a lot as we have eaten at top locations in Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco and throughout Atlanta, but Mujo was the best. You just taste the difference. There are supplemental items that are offered in addition to the set menu for Omakase. We ordered two Otoro hand rolls and the A5 dish from Hokkaido. We've had A5 from restaurants like Chops, have prepared it ourselves from areas like Kagoshima and Olive Wagyu but this was different. The dish itself was crafted in such a pleasing way by having the beef sit on rendered beef jus, with a side of daikon (not sure how it was prepared). Our favorite sushi was the Blue Nose (Medai), Golden Eye Snapper (Kinmedai), and Spanish Mackerel (Sawara). The Uni they provided literally converted us from being Meh on Uni (We've had Santa Barbara Uni and other types) to OMG this is incredible (Their Hokkaido Uni is top notch). And the Atsuyaki Tamago was like eating the softest most wonderful egg pound cake pillow ever. Basically, they provided an experience the likes of which we'll never forget and that has lit an obsession for both of us when it comes to Omakase. read more

What an amazing experience! Just phenomenal! Awesome food beautifully paired with amazing wines!

Mujo is overhyped. That is to say, it's perfect for Atlanta - form over substance. As many have noted, the chefs have no personality. Explicit Rap music is blaring. If there is a rowdy group at the table (which was the case for us) the ambience is spoiled. Sushi has WAY to much wasabi. Waste of (a lot) money and not coming back. read more

It's absolutely worth it! Best experience in a LONG time. Would recommend the wine pairing!

What a phenomenal experience. Staff was above and beyond. the food was next level. first class experience all the way around. Price points reflect the caliber of food and overall experience, which explain why the sell out almost instantly. read more

Arrived at 820 for a 9p reservation - too early. The 6 person cocktail bar was full and rather than awkwardly stand behind the bar, we chose to walk over to Holiday bar for a quick drink. We came back at 835 hoping to get a cocktail before the meal. Despite only two people at the bar at the time, that was wishful thinking. The bartender skipped over us while the manager was talking to us (trying to explain why the long wait) we ended up getting our drinks at 905 and were rushed to our seats. A 30 minute wait to get a drink is a painful way to start a $800 meal. The cocktails were fine - Negroni was the best of the bunch. After being shepherded into a full room we took our corner seats (one directly next to a column, and one staring directly at it). These felt like the 'obstructed view' seats at a stadium. Made worse by the fact that occasional water splashed out of the water station and onto my shoulder. The meal started with a couple zensai dishes. A bite sized hors d'oeuvre and a tasty mushroom and egg dish. The large chunk of raw mushroom was a bit of a mouthful though. Onto the sushi. We opted for a tuna supplement. Supplements aren't really necessary for the large tasting menu, if you're on the fence. The sushi was terrific, outside of a couple pieces overpowered by wasabi. The miso was perfect. The dessert was sublime. The staff was wonderful. The view was.. mostly staring at a tiled column. The chefs were generally attentive and helpful in explaining the dishes, although felt a bit bad for them having to strain over a sink and counter to shout their creations over loud music (which created an otherwise fun and unique atmosphere) Overall experience comes in at a 8.1. Adjusted for paying $400 a head (without the drink pairing) -- 6.1. If you're looking for a world-class restaurant experience in Atlanta, this ain't it. read more

Absolutely incredible sushi. Hip, high-end Manhattan vibe. Sushi rice is exceptional - they use akazu red vinegar and very good rice. It's actually served at the right temperature too. Only feedback: I would like to see more nigiri pieces as part of the standard omakase offering. Regardless, I will be back frequently. If you miss the very tiny window to make a reservation for the following month, sign up to to be notified when someone cancels and you will likely to get a spot. I hope they continue to be successful. What a rare gem to have in Atlanta. read more

Excellent! As good as any omakase I've had in NYC. The space is beautiful and the service is friendly and knowledgeable. A unique experience in ATL, where there is little to no great sushi! read more

A special place for a special evening. Top quality sushi in an intimate environment. Food and service could not be better!

UNREAL EXPERIENCE. If you value the whole restaurant/cuisine world from walking in the front door until you leave, you must go to Mujō. The food is of the highest caliber, the staff is so well educated and so friendly, the vibe is unmatched. Atlanta has needed this for some time and they delivered. Check the photos with this to see the cuisine. Best cocktail seen in Atlanta as well. Everything I tasted was unique and provided tastes I've never experienced in my life. read more

Absolute worst customer service of all time so beware of Katy who handles the reservations. I asked to change my reservation inside of 72 hrs and I was told by her on the phone that if they could fill the 2 spots they would cancel My reservation and book me a new one the date we discussed a few weeks later. I subsequently received a cancellation from them, and then a new reservation which I thought was great. I assumed the situation was over until she called me at the time of the original reservation that SHE canceled and said I'd be charged $450 for missing even though SHE WAS THE ONE THAT CANCELED. No customer should have to deal with this lack of professionalism and I'm shocked Mujo allows her to handle their customers. I have since canceled my second reservation, disputes with AMEX and will never go back...Stick to Umi's which has great service and great sushi! read more

The staff is very attentive, the food is very tasty. We were clearly on the clock. We sat at 6pm and the next seating was not until 9pm so we figured there was plenty of time. For that price tag we want to savor the meal and take our time. By 8pm it was clear it was time to clear the place out. I felt hurried all night. At one point there were 3 courses on the bar. The music was loud, fast-paced, more hip-hop than anything. Rush, rush, rush. For dropping $500 in two hours I felt cheated out of what could have been an amazing night. We won't return. read more

If there were 10 stars they would deserve it. Absolutely unbelievable food combined with even better service. Seriously, by far the best spot in ATL and rivals the best in any major city across the globe. It is that good. Great drinks, amazing food, ridiculously good service (aka Mr. Deed's level good) great music, so much fun. My wife and I joke, If we could pick a restaurant for a last meal this would be it. If you are fortunate enough to get a reservation, enjoy! read more
