Mujō is a one MICHELIN star, intimate, omakase-only tasting menu experience serving modern edomae sushi led by Executive Chef J. Trent Harris. Our menu changes daily and reflects the best seasonal ingredients available, as well as fish flown in directly from Japan. The experience consists of a series of small plates and a progression of seasonal nigiri. We are inspired by the Japanese concept of ichi-go ichi-e, 一期一会, or “one time, one meeting. Our goal is not to recreate the sushiya of Japan, but to offer an experience that represents who and where we are, while respecting and honoring the traditions of edomae sushi. Inspired by the concept of omotenashi, but rooted in southern hospitality.

Our family with 2 college aged kids had a fabulous and fun experience dining at O-Ku as part of our holiday celebrations together. We had the Osusume chef tasting menu and loved every bit of it. Our outstanding server Elena described it as a tour of the menu. It included sushi and sashimi courses as well as delicious braised beef and dessert. We also enjoyed tasting different sake's and learning more about the flavor profiles. A great experience overall!

This was our third visit to UMI and they continue to exceed our expectations on every visit. Along with a couple of dishes we knew, we tried some new items. The tuna tartare with crispy rice was amazing. The New Page roll continued to be our favorite; the lemon slices make it so unique and refreshing. The cocktails were also excellent. Our servers were professional but friendly, and were very attentive to our needs. I spilled some dipping sauce on the table and before we could even say anything, the team swooped in to clean up, replace our placemats, and get us resettled. UMI is unquestionably the best restaurant we have experienced in Atlanta.

Overall was good food! The sushi tasted really fresh! Great tuna, great rice had the eel roll. My only opportunity I can see for this restaurant personally is that the booths were not very comfortable for a lower back. Simple change could be to request a chair instead. sushi
