Overall very good. Some of the best tuna tataki I've ever had.
Dumplings were nice-looking but underwhelming. Sushi was very good.
Not so much food per portion (more like a tapas-style Japanese restaurant), so don't go in too hungry.
During my family’s recent vacation on Vancouver Island, we visited the University of Victoria, where my wife spent part of her undergraduate studies. We made it down to Cadboro Bay to explore the beautifully updated Cadboro-Gyro Park in Saanich and found ourselves in need of lunch. Our son, the sushi monster, wanted to have sushi, and his sushi monster parents were happy to oblige.
You can taste the quality and the care put into every ingredient.. We ordered a 50 pc rolls platter, and it was amazing. Well worth the visit, especially if you are looking for food quality that doesn't compare to other places in town. Read up on the story and you will know why.
Great sushi, but only if you have time. We walked into Mutsuki-An at lunch time to find 1 other table occupied. We wanted to try the sushi, so ordered a party platter. It did take a while to arrive, but we did have 7 different rolls coming. Imagine walking into someone's home kitchen unannounced, ordering lunch and waiting for them to prepare it. It took about that long, but maybe they had to cook the rice. Anyway, it was worth the wait. Rice was well cooked and seasoned. I think the quality is above most places I've tried, but so is the price. I would definitely return for a special occasion, if I had the time.
Excellent! Best sushi in Victoria! Always so fresh
Easily the best sushi in the Victoria area. We come here frequently for take out and always have great service and great food. They have the best spicy tuna roll and I always enjoy their miso soup. Happy to have this restaurant in Cadboro Bay village.
This place is the best!!! .... This place is the best!!!
Never again will I eat sushi ANYWHERE else in Victoria. Sushi starts with rice, and they have it down to a science. Too often good fish is paired with subpar rice. Mutsuki an combines both for a winning combination. Have read some reviews about poor service and the restaurant reaching it's 'maximum limit'. Having never experienced either of these faults, I can't really comment. The service is exceptional as is the food. Tea is perfect, atmosphere and aptitude. I will return and I would recommend this sushi spot ahead of ALL others.
Konichiwa. This is the place to go for authentic Japanese service. The menu is limited by their kitchen but it is still a very nice place to dine and feel at peace. Located close to Oak Bay High, and Oak Bay Rec. Find the time to acquaint yourself to this family run business for your own peace of mind.

Great place. Every time I catch this place open I feel blessed. The food is excellent, same with the tea, and atmosphere. Everything is so fresh and tastes like the food was touched by an angel. The Japanese curry is to die for and I always hope to time it when she has a batch made, and you can never go wrong with the tuna. I love this place!
A treasure. Was a pleasure to find this little gem. Beautiful food, nicely presented, kind staff. Will definitely come back. Costs just a little more than the average but it's worth it.
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.
Friendly staff. Great menu and the food was fantastic. Excellent quality for the price. Would come again.
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.
The quality of food at this restaurant is outstanding. We have been visiting Mutsuki- An since they opened in the old location which I am told was around 15 years ago. At this new location (10 years ago) it is larger and spacious so you do not feel penned in. Nice sized tables. Attentive staff. I ordered the lunch menu which allows you to choose an additional 3 small items. All of the items are presented with such care and attention. It is noticeable. Delicious flavours. My friend ordered the spicy meal plan. All was well received. A special place with a calming atmosphere.
Excellent sushi & service. Ordered take out and was ready quicky. Good prices and large quantities (salmon Sashmi bowls). Friendly staff
Quality of ingredients is very high. The seasoned 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.
I love this little ‘moms and pops’ place. I do very much appreciate the wonderfully fresh, always very high quality sushi. This is not one of those cheap fill your belly places, and I am thankful for that. This is truly Japanese sushi which is rare in Victoria. The price is absolutely worth it because you know that this small family really cares about the food they serve. A true treasure in Victoria.
Had dinner there last night. Great food, and even stuff that our 6 year old loved. It’s a family run business and holds that charm. Excellent saki selection and the Donburi bowls were tasty and good portions. Thanks for the great dining experience.
Setting feels modern and relaxed. Service was great, with waitstaff being very kind and polite. Food was all good, had nothing to complain about, and a reasonable price to boot. Only thing I wish they had was a smaller meat dish, as the smallest beef dish was about $20 for a don. All in all, would definately go back.
This is our must-go sushi place in Victoria anytime we are in town. It’s so fresh and delicious!
