Mushi Ni

Chili pork dumplings, soft shell crab bao, and a Thai tea martini that ruins other martinis

📍 Inman Park · Eastside Trail

Mushi Ni started life as a pop-up. Now it's got a real home at 337 Elizabeth Street NE in Inman Park, right off the Eastside Trail (and a few minutes from Freedom Park Trail too, if you're coming from that direction). It's a partnership between chefs Michael Le and Tanya Jimenez and Ian Jones of Victory Brands. Yes, the same people behind Victory Sandwich Bar. Open Sun and Tue–Thu 11am–10pm, Fri–Sat till 11pm, closed Mondays (respect the day off). Full bar, no patio/outdoor seating.

I went with a group, and that's honestly the move here. Go with people so you can pile the table with dumplings and bao and actually work through the menu instead of picking one or two things. We ordered too much on purpose. Here's what hit the table:

Order this

  • Chili pork dumplings — get these
  • Soft shell crab bao — get these too
  • Soy sauce ice cream — yes, for real, get this
  • Veggie pot stickers
  • Chicken gyoza
  • Shrimp dim sum
  • Brisket bowl

If you only order two savory things, make them the chili pork dumplings and the soft shell crab bao. Everything else was good, but those two are the reason I'm already thinking about going back. Don't skip dessert either: soy sauce ice cream sounds like a typo until you taste it, then it just sounds like a good idea.

Food and atmosphere were great, but the real surprise was the cocktail menu: genuinely good drinks at prices that don't punish you for having two. The Thai tea martini is the one to get if you're even a little into Thai tea. Calling it now, this is the new espresso martini.
