Our server was fantastic! Knowledgable and friendly. Both dishes were very salty, but otherwise delicious. Would recommend.

If you come really for the cocktails it's perfect. After 10pm it does get a little more hype so choose your adventure! We just wanted to grab some drinks and food so we came early and it was a fantastic idea. The drinks were exceptional, all complex yet delicious. I highly recommend checking this place out before the club crowd arrives and sampling everything they have!!

West Midtown

About the restaurant

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.

This was my second time visiting Park 82 and I LOVE this place. I pray the TikTokers don’t find out and ruin it because it’s truly a gem! How many places in Atlanta have free parking for starters? The ambiance is amazing, they had a live singer that I almost didn’t notice and thought it was a recorded song playing (He was THAT good), and the food was great! My only complaint was I wish the food had a little more flavor, the oxtails and short ribs were lacking flavor in the meat and could have been slow cooked a little longer for tenderness. I also wish my server was a little more attentive (I shouldn’t have to hunt my waiter down for more water). All in all, this place is a gem and I’ll definitely be back!
