ATLANTA, GA – With roots in Japanese and American culinary tradition, Mushi Ni is preparing to open its first stand-alone brick and mortar. Still under construction, they estimating opening at 337 Elizabeth St NE b, Atlanta, GA 30307 this fall in mid-October or early November.

Owners Michael Le and Tanya Jimenez told Business Debut that they are excited to bring their vision to life after years of operating as a pop-up and in a food hall.

A Fusion of Asian and American Flavors

Mushi Ni offers a popular Hong Kong-style French toast, yuzu olive oil cake, bao buns, dumplings, and even tempura Oreos. They are also known for their line of soft-serve and Vietnamese coffee ice cream flavor.

Casual Lunch, Full Service Dinner

Lunch will feature a casual counter-service setting, and the evening will offer a full-service dining experience. Expect seats for up to 80 guests.

From Pop-Up to Stand-Alone & Team’s Culinary Roots

Before opening Mushi Ni, the couple trained and worked in respected culinary institutions; one attended the Culinary Institute of America, while the other studied in California and worked with The Ritz-Carlton. Their careers took them through New York’s fine dining and hotel scene before settling in Georgia.

Mushi Ni first made its mark through pop-ups and is currently inside The Works food hall in West Midtown, where menu options were limited by the shared space.

“This is really our first stand-alone,” Le shared. “We have a lot more space to do our thing.”

Opening Hours

Mushi Ni plans to open seven days a week, with lunch service from around 11 a.m. – 3 or 4 p.m., followed by dinner service from 5 p.m. – 10 p.m. on weekdays and until 11 p.m. on weekends. The owners emphasized their excitement about contributing to Atlanta’s dining scene.
