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.

Food Great! Server enthusiastic, but actual delivery of food and drinks was uncoordinated. Wine ordered before dinner delivered SLOWLY to each individual at different times, and not until we were nearly finished with food. Had to ask for it at least 3 times. Food from Gluten fee menu (salad with NO croutons) delivered with croutons. Sent back, but had to wait 20 minutes for the new one....all while the others were now eating. Hey...it's the holiday season and we recognize that it was busy, but...???? All in all was a nice evening out with family, but service delivery left a lot to be desired. Server's enthusiasm didn't quite make up for the quality of service. Food was 95% perfect (when it arrived). Only issue was that the shrimp in the Stuffed Flounder entree had a distinct chlorine taste. Picked them out and the rest was the dish was wonderful. Oh....we were charged for two Caesar Salads on the bill (the one with AND the one without croutons). Manager was needed to redo the bill. It happens.... Valet parking GREAT value and quick. Seating was ready when we arrived just before our reservation time...well done.

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!
