Michelin-starred edomae-style sushi bar with intimate omakase menus
"Lauded for its one-Michelin-star omakase in West Midtown, this restaurant began in 2021 as an intimate pop-up tucked inside Cooks & Soldiers before evolving the next year into a standalone space next door. It now offers a multi-course tasting menu centered on Edomae-style sushi and kappo-style small plates, making it one of the most exciting new restaurants in Atlanta. It earned a Michelin star in 2023 and has retained it since." - Henna Bakshi
"I love Mujō's intimate, moody elegance with a U-shaped Southern cypress counter where Chef J. Trent Harris stages a rollicking omakase that begins with zensai—like Florida cobia grilled over binchotan with red miso and local pattypan squash—moves into compelling nigiri and supplemental items such as Hokkaido hair crab with tosazu and mozuku, and leaves no doubt that dessert is treated as an important and satisfying part of the meal." - The MICHELIN Guide
"I experienced a rare, nearly three-hour Edomae-style omakase at a 15-seat tasting counter helmed by J. Trent Harris, beginning with three warm courses, followed by a leisurely tasting of about 10 pieces of expertly aged fish, a signature horsehair crab addition, thoughtful sake pairings from a sommelier, and a finishing miso caramel ice cream topped with crunchy sweet potatoes — an intimate, windowless room with a curated playlist that feels like pure luxury." - ByPervaiz Shallwani
"Mujō remains the city’s hardest-to-book enigma, so scoring a place at the stellar 15-seat omakase table in West Midtown is the ultimate special occasion flex. The space is equally enigmatic—a hidden door leads to a dark room that looks like the only way to enter is with a secret greeting and wire transfer to an offshore account. Servers, dressed in black, nearly disappear into walls until one steps forward to fill your glass. But the biggest mystery to unravel will be which of the 12 courses will be your favorite, especially when every bite of high-grade nigiri is worthy of the title." - team infatuation
"Getting a reservation, even at the hottest places, isn’t usually a challenge in these parts. But Mujo remains the city’s hardest-to-book enigma, so scoring a place at the stellar 15-seat omakase table in West Midtown is the ultimate special occasion flex. The space is equally enigmatic—a hidden door leads to a dark room that looks like the only way to enter is with a secret greeting and million-dollar wire transfer to an offshore account. Servers, dressed in black, nearly disappear into walls until one steps forward to fill your glass. But the biggest mystery to unravel will be which of the 12 courses will be your favorite, especially when every bite of high-grade nigiri is worthy of the title.
