Overall, everything was very delicious. The quality of the fish and the execution were excellent. A few personal thoughts, though:
• I wished some of the sushi had a slightly firmer, more springy texture.
• Most pieces were seasoned with soy sauce, so I missed having more variety like yuzu or salt-based pairings.
• The course leaned very classic, and I personally would have loved to see one or two more creative or adventurous pieces.
I was a little surprised that I wasn’t very full by the end, as the portions felt small.

Remarkable sushiya experience in Atlanta’s ascendant omakase scene. We loved the lighting design, which highlighted the cuisine while creating a light dam in front of the counter and behind the guests—from which the ninja-like staff served with stealth and precision. The charcoal-kissed wagyu (an addition to the 13-course prix fixe menu) stole the show with fat-rendered smoke enveloping the room for a wonderful few moments. The standard wine pairing was surprisingly meh, with some questionable couplings. (Next time, we’d opt for bottles off the impressive wine list.) Playlist was on point. Super fun (and expensive!) experience!

5/5 for sure! I booked this experience for the hubby’s b-day today and wow! We got the seasonal omakase! And,
Food
Uh-mazing!!!! I’m Chinese and lived in Shanghai for years before moving to the US and Shanghai’s got so many great Japanese restaurants, and I’ve tried many of those in the US but NOTHING beats this one at all! All the courses were just out of this world!
Service
Eeeeeeeeeverybody on the team was absolutely phenomenal! The quality and level of service is just beyond words. The attention to detail was unbelievable!
Big shoutout! You’ll be missing out if you don’t go there!!!

We treated our parents to a birthday dinner here a couple weeks ago and they’re still raving about it. They said it was the best sushi experience they’ve ever had! Katy went above and beyond to help me with the reservation and payment over the phone, and she made sure every detail was perfect. We’re so grateful for the unforgettable experience Mujō created!

Relatively normal omakase experience. A lot of modern rap playing in the atmosphere which we as a group were mixed about. Pretty traditional pieces but which they had some more like a chu toro or a botan ebi piece. Highlight was the ice cream dessert for all 3 of us

Food quality is ok, but for more than $300 spending, it is not well prepared. Sushi is over seasoned and you cannot tell the difference between different fishes. Fatty tuna has hard part inside and stuck on my teeth. Similar with squid.
The restaurant’s music list is a disaster. I really cannot appreciate modern music with full of anxiety emotions and rap with people screaming in side together with Omakase. I asked them to turn the volume down a little because it is really bothering me but nothing happened. The speaker is right above my head and made me suffer.
Food portion here is for kids. 10 pieces sushi is really not enough for an adult. After the diner, I went to McDonald….. They can feed you till full, but you need to probably order at least additional $200 worth of food besides the standard $245 omakase set. Maybe I’m a cheap person, but I think no matter how good a restaurant is, the basic principle of a restaurant is to solving the starving need of customers and provide them a comfortable environment to eat.
Valet is available, but you need to pass nasty stairs with oil marks everywhere to enter their restaurant. Underneath the stairs is where they store their food trashes. I can’t imagine how the summer humid and elevated temperatures will make that stair smells like.
Moreover, before you start to eat the meal, be prepared for their aggressive selling of extras. They even put their dirty menu on my un-used chopsticks. Excuse me?

Mujō has exceeded expectations every time I’ve gone. I’ve now done the dinner seating and private room. It is such a calm and ‘good vibes’ environment to enjoy the amazing technical artistry and top tier fish. The staff makes sure every need is taken care of promptly. Personally, I like the bit of personality that the hip-hop infused playlist brings to the place. Feels like modern day meets traditional sushi. Exec Chef Trent Harris was our private dining chef and he was so easygoing and downright funny. He also gave us a small bonus course as we were celebrating our engagement.

A beautifully crafted progressive meal service.
It was an inspiring experience. Every bite was delicately prepared right in front of us and it’s evident there was a lot of thought placed into every single bite.
Service was detail oriented; I loved that they picked up on me being left handed and adjusted their service accordingly.
The venue is lovely. It’s a joy to sit in front of the chefs and get to chat with them about the quality of the food.
There is valet parking ($10).
I will say that my only quarrel was with the pricing. I truly value the fresh ingredients that are flown in to provide a quality product and the experienced chefs that have dedicated themselves to the craft, but they could have added 2 more bites to the meal. Would have been perfect amount. We did the omakase and ended up adding on a couple things to be properly full. I would’ve loved to just get full off the omakase alone and not have to fuss with additional things.
Special shout out to the ice cream! Superb combination!

Wowowow!! I went to Mujō for dinner as someone who really has never had nigiri or craved it (my boyfriend reaaaaally likes this kinda stuff though). I was honestly nervous about whether I would enjoy the food if I hadn’t previously enjoyed raw fish. I WAS SO IMPRESSED!! All of the food was so amazing (except for the uni/sea urchin but I feel like that’s an acquired taste). Even things like mackerel (which I’ve had before but was always way too fishy for me) were perfectly prepared and not fishy at all. There were a lot of other supplemental options, but the staff were not pushy in the least. The chefs were friendly and welcomed conversation if you asked questions. The vibe wasn’t pretentious at all but was definitely luxurious! Even the bathrooms had heated seats and one of the most fancy bidets I have ever seen. This meal was so much fun from start to finish and was such a joy to experience. The price tag is very high but I feel like the experience we got was so worth it. Everything was so thought through, every flavor was beautifully balanced, and they even give you a pretty little Japanese fabric as a thank you for coming.. GORGEOUS!! If I had unlimited cash, I’d come here all the time! Don’t get me started on the ice cream.. it was so perfect.

Mujo has five star potential but I gave it only two stars for a specific faux pas for fine dining.
Let’s start with the positives: The ingredients were fresh with fish flowin in twice a week from Japan. The atmopshere was intimate and comfortable. The service aura behind, both, the sushi bar and cocktail bar was what you would find in Japan: more introverted, serious about the craft, soft spoken. The service staff were friendly, attentive and had great attention to detail. You can tell they were well trained in their protcols. Finally, I liked the diversity of the staff for the goodness of that and proving strong training can give you the feel of a cultural experience.
Now for why I am not giving this place five stars…
I have had many omakase experiences, and separately, many Michelin rated restaurants. This is the first Michelin or omakase restaurant that tries to aggessively upsell you. For example, they gave you a menu with nine items to purchase in addition to the omakase. Typically, I would see a list of what they are serving in the omakase instead of a list of things they want me to add-on. This demonstrates where management’s empahsis is: on the upsell vs the core omakase menu and experience. Another example, the service staff asked at least three times (maybe four) if we wanted to add more. In all the other omakase experiences I have had you would get more than you could eat and the decisions you had to make were the win pairing and maybe a caviar add on.
Keep in mind the term omakase is Japanse for “I’ll leave it up to you” referring to the chef. It is not supposed to be a normal restaurant experience.
To the owners or management, I urge you be more true to the omakase experience and take out the aggessive upsell. Fair if you want to charge more – your clientele is prepared for it. But it’s not a great fine dining experience when you are being asked multipel times if you want to buy more.
Overall, I enjoyed my time here and the food was good. It was not the best sushi I’ve had but it was high quality. Aside from the upselling, the service was excellent.
My friend and I ended the night with a $1,056 bill in which we tipped an extra $250. This was about the same as my bill at Alan Ducasse in Paris (3 Michelin stars). Ducasse was far superior experience and they did not try to upsell me once.
