Lovely little local sushi joint. I had the spicy mix dinner and added a spicy scallop nigiri, because other reviewers mentioned portion size was small. It was too much to finish. The cucumber and noodle salad in vinegar dressing was light and refreshing. Miso soup was elevated from your standard miso with two types of tofu. And the edamame and wild rice salad was nutty and unique. Fish was outstanding. The soybean wrap hand rolls were particularly great. Price was on point, I think the combos are a great deal considering everything that is included.

I really like this place :) My friend and I came just as they opened on Saturday morning and got great service. The waiter was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the Mutsuki-An lunch, which came with a number of small dishes. I liked the variety and I got to try some of everything without getting too full. This place is a little on the pricer side but I think it's worth it because it serves more traditional style Japanese food rather than some of the more westernized restaurants in Victoria. Come here if this is what you're looking for.

Quality of ingredients is very high. The rice is a standout for me, great consistency and perfectly seasoned. Everything we eat here tastes good, is comparable in price to other places in Victoria. And they are a small restaurant that really has good customer service. One of my top recommendations outside Downtown Victoria for visitors to eat at.

Authentic Japanese food, super tasty and great service. Big portions for the price. Appreciated that you can take the bottle of wine home if you can’t finish it.

I have been going to Mutsuki-An since they were in Oak Bay in the late 90's. I was so happy they found a place in Caddy Bay after the Oak Bay location was demolished. Great food, fantastic service and relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere. Thank you to this wonderful family .

Enjoyed the Shrimp and scallop Don for lunch - came with perfectly cooked sushi rice - some firmness and some stickiness but not overly sticky. Sauce was delicious and enough to cover the rice, don't recall if it was ginger and garlic or just garlic, but it was yummy! Several pieces of shrimp and two large scallops cooked perfectly. Lovely presentation with red lettuce pieces and a couple of cherry tomatoes.
