- BbrendaGoldAtlanta •236 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoMujo was incredible on every level. I booked this for my wife’s birthday and from the moment we entered the restaurant and Katy, the Maitre D, greeted us everything was magical. Jared seated us like we’ve never quite been seated before. The large sturdy bar seats were quite impressive, and Jared told us to sit completely back in the massive stools, and he took care of everything else by gently pushing us up to the bar counter! Every question we had about the menu he was able to answer. We wondered about adding the caviar service to our experience and he expressed that the caviar was his favorite thing on the menu. Of course we followed his recommendation and ordered the Amur caviar, and I have to say, we’ve had caviar all over the world, and this was the absolute best we have ever had, and it wasn’t just because of the caviar, but because of the absolutely delicious tickle and melt in your mouth, crème fraîche soufflé type accompaniment, and the thick perfectly toasted bread that made it spectacular. My wife enjoyed a martini and I ordered the wine pairing. Rachel, our sommelier, was so knowledgeable and took the time to not only show us each bottle, but give us an eloquent description of each pairing. She was so gracious and has an absolutely beautiful smile! Mickey, our sushi chef, was so entertaining to watch as he had great precision in slicing the fish perfectly! Speaking of the fish, there were several more exotic fish that we had not tried before, and it was all delicious. When he prepared the Nigiri he stressed to us that the rice would be warm and that we should consume it right away. That’s the first time we’ve ever had Nigiri with warm rice and now we’re spoiled. During our service Jared and other associates quietly cleaned any crumbs we had managed to drop on the bar and we hardly noticed they were so quiet and good at their jobs. Thanks Mujo for a most amazing birthday dinner. We’re telling everyone we know they must come and try you out! Will be back!More infoMujō$$$$• Japanese• West Midtown•4.9
- MMadisonNashville •2 reviews4.0Dined on 2 Nov 2026One of the best dinners we have had in a while!! Everything was spot on. The sake aioli, yellowtail jalapeño, and the new page roll were definitely some stand out items. Our server was great and helped us get another bottle of wine when the one we ordered was out of stock for the evening. He made our celebration definitely something to remember. The only thing we had an issue with was the lighting. In the middle of dinner they turned the lights even lower and it felt essentially dark in the restaurant where I had to use my flashlight for things. The lighting at the beginning was fantastic, dim but not dark. Overall, we will definitely be returning and would recommend this to everyone who wants to go spend some money on a great dinner.More infoUMI$$$$• Sushi• Buckhead•4.8
