This is what you get from Mujo in return for sending a
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
Be the first to ReplyWish 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.
Be the first to ReplyThis 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.
Be the first to ReplyOne of my favorite omakase experiences in Atlanta.
From the moment you walk in, every single staff treats you like royalty. They sand down the counters after each group of guests. The omakase chefs are such a vibe and great conversationalist. Each dish was an elevated experience of ingredients/foods I've had. For example, the steamed eggs with scallops are a common comfort food in many asian countries. However, its usually made with dried scallops and the egg was put through a strainer to have a perfectly smooth flan like texture in Mujo's version. All the cuts of fish were extremely fresh and eat bite was the perfect size. I've never had nigiri sliced so smoothly! The starter amuse was a smoked salmon (literally you eat a puff of smoke) in a thin pastry crisp. Such unique textures! We opt to add on wagyu and caviar- both were exquisite and i was very full at the end of my meal!
Be the first to ReplyThis 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.
Be the first to ReplyThe tale of Mujo is the tale of change.
Atlanta, a city known for comforting southern food, never competed or wanted to compete for that matter in fine dining space with the rest of the world. Yet, things are evolving. Mujo, is ran by chef Trent Harris who trained at world renowned Ginza Onodera in Tokyo and New York. The restaurant is the most exquisite entry to dining space by Castelucci group that also owns Iberian Pig, Cooks and Soldiers and Double Zero. And one must say, the execution is beautiful. Our waiters Kiki and Alex were unbelievably attentive and highly knowledgeable, arguably making this experience whole. Even some of the more challenging sake inquiries were addressed with ease by Kiki. Alex anticipated every detail of service, from chairs when people got up to folding napkins. He even wiped the sushi stone in between courses. It was a pleasure to converse with him also. The service front of Mujo is comparable to 2 and 3 Michelin starred restaurants in major metropolitan areas. Only tweak that could be recommended is figuring out a way to do menu introductions and course descriptions facing the guests and looking at them instead of standing behind them, which felt slightly uncomfortable for the duration that it lasts. On one hand you want to look the person in the eyes who is going out of their way to tell you about every line item on the menu, on the other doing so requires doing some sort of a 180 turn of the back for a rather long time. The meal started off with a whitefish foam crisp, continued to a few vegetable focused dishes like Japanese Squash with curry and Egg custard with fried mushrooms. As with any dining experience of this caliber, it would not be expected that guests would love every dish and such was the case here, with some mixed reactions. The rest was nigiri courses edomae style. The fish here is pre-cut at the start of the dinner instead of being sliced individually for each course. The fish selection is unique and interesting. While there are a few more common fish served like fatty tuna and golden eye snapper, many were more surprising choices like Kohada, Aji and Pike mackerel. Hokkaido Uni is spectacular also. The main improvement areas are in the space of balances. The fish profile and taste was heavily obscured by the rice which was quite substantial in its rice vinegar percentage, thus overshadowing the beautiful cuts. The cuts also seemed a bit on the thinner side for the rice, thus creating a constant desire to actually taste the fish, yet making it very difficult to do so. Without a doubt, preparations were still very tasty, yet for a restaurant of this caliber, a few details must still be pointed out. One of the unexpected highlights was the house made pickled ginger, which was incredibly tasty and could be enjoyed without anything else. Presentation across the board was extremely solid, with a certain level of creativity and edomae tradition. Gorgeous plates, Reidel glassesware and gold accented spoons. The only presentation item that was disappointing was miso soup, served in a thin plastic cup that was neither pleasant to hold nor considerate health wise to pour a hot liquid into thin plastic that almost certainly releases toxins. While picking apart a few details may be overbearing, the team here did a remarkable job putting together a show in the form of a dinner. Mujo could not be a more welcome addition to the city and can only continue to build its reputation from this point.
Be the first to ReplyThis isn't close to being a 1 star (or any star) experience
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.
Be the first to ReplyMujo 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.
Be the first to ReplyGreat omakase experience where the whole team is attentive
Great omakase experience where the whole team is attentive to all the details of your experience! Look forward to coming here again and checking out their beverage pairing.
Be the first to ReplyWhat can one say about Mujo that hasn't already been said?
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.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent! 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!
Be the first to ReplyWell 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.
Be the first to ReplyWhat 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.
Be the first to ReplyI've been hearing that this place was amazing so I gave it
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.

One of the most exquisite experiences I've had at a restaurant. While I will say this is a pretty expensive meal, I have not experienced service like this since I went to mujo. The ambiance is amazing, the level of service that we had was unreal, from being pushed in and pulled out of my chair, to our waters never being empty, to the food & plating. I haven't stopped thinking about it since I went. We added on some hand rolls and albacore, which was super tasty. We left feeling really full which is honestly rare these days after some omakase experiences. Definitely check it out if you're looking to splurge!
Be the first to ReplyHard 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.
Be the first to ReplyMujo is certainly not "bad" but the overall experience was
Mujo is certainly not "bad" but the overall experience was lacking which was not expected given the restaurant's hype, my difficultly in securing a reservation, and the price tag. I've tried several other Omakase restaurants in Atlanta, and there are certainly better options elsewhere. The food itself was generally good. I appreciated that courses were not just nigiri but also other small plates of food. My favorite bites were the squid and golden eye snapper. Generally the otoro (fatty tuna) will be one of my favorite bites at a nice sushi restaurant, however, the otoro at Mujo was pretty disappointing. My friends ordered the drink pairing with the Omakase service and enjoyed it. I did find it a bit strange that they were mostly served wines, some of which were quite strong, as opposed to sake, which I've seen at other Omakase experiences. I ordered a cocktail which tasted pretty good.The service is where Mujo was lacking more notably. We arrived early, as suggested in the reservation and online, to enjoy a drink at the bar. The cocktail menu is pretty limited, but my friends and I each ordered a drink. There didn't appear to be any other drink orders coming it, but it still took the bartender several minutes to prepare each of our drinks. He was friendly and the drinks were decent, but they should not have taken that long. I was the last to be served, and I had one sip before we were rushed from our seats into the dining area. While I was expecting our food service to begin momentarily given we were rushed away from the bar, we sat there for ~20 minutes before the meal began. While most other Omakase experiences I've tried have an additional menu of a la carte items, I've never felt like I needed to order items in advance. At Mujo, we were told that we needed to commit to a la carte items before the meal started (so they could weave them into the other courses). I understood the rationale, but my friends and I found it difficult to know how satisfied we'd be after our courses to know if additional food would even be feasible -- moreover, we were already paying the base Omakase price and found it tough to justify the cost of additional expensive plates upfront. Service was generally attentive throughout the meal, but at times it felt like the servers were hovering a bit too closely. It's a small space, so they would be standing ~3 feet behind us at most times which was a bit uncomfortable. The main other standout on service was with the actual Omakase experience -- whereas the chefs at other locations often give a bit more context about the dish, the fish, and it's preparation, the Mujo chef just placed it in front of us and told us the name. Warning: At the end of the fish courses, we were asked what our favorite bite was and if we wanted an "encore" of anything. While we weren't necessarily expecting it to be complimentarily, we didn't really know. We each got a second bite of the squid which was our favorite, and didn't know that it was $19ea until we got the bill. I'm certainly not opposed to spending a lot for great food and a unique dining experience (I wouldn't have had two Omakase tasting this month if I was), but I think you should save your money and try other Omakase in Atlanta
Be the first to ReplyThe service was excellent, very friendly and attentive
The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive staff. The cocktails were good. The tea house Negroni was a personal favorite, a conventional Negroni with the addition of Hojicha which gave the drink a nice toasted finish.The food was not on par with similar omakase experiences in San Francisco and New York. The small plates were fine, but nothing really stood out. Too much wasabi was used on the initial pieces of sushi, which overpowered the taste of the fish. The rice was well cooked, but a little over seasoned for my personal taste, which again masked some of the flavor of the fish. Several pieces of fish were very good, particularly the Kamasu, or Japanese barracuda, but the fish quality overall was lacking. The fatty tuna had a very tough connective tissue running through the piece. Not sure if it was a fish quality or preparation issue, but it was pretty disappointing.The venue is nice and the experience was pleasant overall, but fish is not the star of the show here, which in my opinion it should be at an omakase restaurant.
Be the first to ReplyA tremendous sushi experience but not what I'd call
A tremendous sushi experience but not what I'd call omakase; great fish but little chef interaction and personalization. I expected more out of the experience for the price point.
Be the first to ReplyArrived 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.
