“ 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! ”

“ The food was absolutely amazing and everything was portioned well. The spacing between each piece was perfect. We went for our anniversary and would definitely come back again. ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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). ”

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

“ 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! ”

“ 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! ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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. Atlanta, GA ”

“ 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. ”
