Mujō is a one MICHELIN star modern, edomae-style sushiya led by Executive Chef J. Trent Harris. We are inspired by the Japanese concept of ichi-go ichi-e, 一期一会, or “one time, one meeting. Mujō is an omakase-only, tasting menu experience. Reservations are required. 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 and dessert. The cost of this menu is $245 per person. Additional specialty items will be available daily. 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.

    How have I not dined here before! Wow. The seafood flavors were delicious, the service was excellent except for a few misunderstandings which were corrected, the ambiance and seating was nice, I was a little cramped in a seat next to a pillar and could not adjust my seat, bad spot for a table. Plenty of open tables and not sure why they put us in an uncomfortable space, would have been nice to sit in a comfy partial booth. That is my only complaint. The king crab legs were cooked well and seasoned perfectly, the crab cakes were delicious. And they kindly helped us celebrate a birthday! We will definitely be back soon (for a different table location)!

    Great overall experience. Sushi was fresh and met expectations. It wasn't very busy that evening and service was friendly and prompt. Definitely a whiskey bar type atmosphere with dim lighting, which is not a bad thing. Prices are what I'd expect for the locale. Otoro carpaccio was probably the highlight of the dishes ordered.
