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.

    Just an incredible experience all the way around - the restaurant setting is small & intimate. The food and service were impeccable. Highly recommend the Edo Caesar and Otoro Aburi as starters. The Kaizan sashimi was a wonderful mix as well!

    This was my second time at Celestia, and it definitely did not disappoint. My first visit, I sat outside on the terrace—the view was stunning, and the food was incredible. I had the mussels, sliders, egg rolls, and a few other dishes that were all amazing. This time, because of the rain, I sat indoors, and the vibe and décor inside were just as breathtaking. Kim, our server, was so sweet and provided amazing service. Celestia has officially become my favorite rooftop spot in Atlanta, and I’ll definitely be back!
