Incredibly delicious as always!
This is not a restaurant. It is an experience. Although I've done fine dining, I've never been to a Michelin star restaurant, and they did not disappoint. They knew me by face upon entering, any waiter/waitress/sommelier in my vincity was mine, my water was never empty, the music selection was vast, and the atmosphere was chic, intimate, and neat. As the only single diner, I was placed right in front of one of the 3 chefs, so I had a clear view of all preparation. Since it is omakase, there is no point in saying what I had because you'll likely have something totally different. They do have "supplements" that are constant to my knowledge, and I had the foie gras monaka. Everything I ate had a layers of flavors. A literal oral symphony. The uni (sea urchin) is indescribable. The bathroom had a bidet, which is a first in any restaurant I've been to, everyone is knowledgeable and warm, they had Japanese chopsticks ( there is a difference in chopsticks!) and anytime I need to get up there was someone to pull my chair out and push me in. I could go on and on. As a teacher, I can't do experiences like this often, so it was just a pure delight for me. Just go. It is so worth every cent spent.
Mujō was my first Omakase experience and it was absolutely wonderful. The chef was very informative about the dishes and flavors. The staff overall were great and attentive. The food was amazing it was truly immersive and delightful.
Best meal and best dining experience I ever had
We were very excited to try Mujo for the first time. We have had omakase in other cities but this was the first time in Atlanta. We were celebrating birthdays for three out of the four of us and thought this would be fun. Unfortunately while the food was good and presented well the music was so loud we could t hardly hear. We even had trouble hearing the waitress. When I asked if they could turn the music down a bit we were told we should just speak louder. One member of our party was also sat on the corner and was awkwardly placed to engage in conversation. The chef, not the lead, barely spoke to us other than to tell us what was being placed in front of us. Only when asked or prompted was more detail provided. All in all we just felt like they were not concerned with our satisfaction and that we were wrong to ask for any change. For this price point I left with ringing ears and dissatisfaction. Maybe it would be ok for just a couple but not for more than that if you want to talk to each other.
This was the best dining experience of my life. Head chef went out of his way to take care of a parking issue for us.
I've been lucky to have had several experiences at Mujo, and one things that consistently impresses me is the service. A lot of reviewers have already mentioned the food, so we know the food is good, but the true jewel of this restaurant is the GM, Katy. Her personable manner really makes a real difference from the moment you enter the restaurant to the moment you leave. The first time I ever walked into the restaurant, she greeted me by name and really made the entire experience feel very personalized and special. The little details feel attended to at Mujo, from the folded napkin awaiting you upon your return from the bathroom to the printed menu that’s given at departure. If you’re lucky to be able to snag a reservation, just know that your service experience is going to be top notch.
