    The staff is friendly, inviting, and gets orders taken quickly. There is often a wait, but I haven't had mine last more than 25 minutes. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable and worth it. Their specific brand of teriyaki sauce is sold by the bottle and I bought two. The tempura ice cream is to die for and I have loved the crispy mahi-mahi since I was a little kid.

    Working from out of town and stopped here because it was in my hotel dining list and the menu online looked great. This place is clean and nicely decorated and even has a couple tables where you can dine on the floor if you like. Everything was tasty and my dinner portion was huge! Leftovers for days! Your dinner comes with miso soup, a salad and green tea. The service is super fast and friendly as well and they even packed up my leftover food for me. I dined in on a Tuesday night and it wasn't busy at all. I would recommend dining here! Impressive. I don't get this where I am from.

    Service was fantastic. I got their teriyaki beef and friend got teriyaki chicken, was not disappointed. They give you lots of sauce as well so that was heavily appreciated as most places don't. Hours are super weird so definitely check if they're open before going and go early because it fills up QUICK! highly recommended if visiting the area!

    Usually my favorite restaurant, but wasn't tonight. Their food is always delicious, but tonight was disappointing. We had 4 orders of the same thing. Chicken teriyaki combination with no shrimp. Got shrimp on all of them and hardly any veggies!! 3 vegetable to be exact and 3 shrimp. And the portions of chicken as you can see is tiny compare to what we we would usually get. The lady even repeated the order back to us correctly but it still came wrong. Still support matsukazes, but I/we were looking forward to the normal sized meal with vegetable tempura we requested.

    When I made my reseravation for an overnight stay in Grants Pass I had never stayed or stopped there. The room was a room like any other and looking out at the smoky horizon dashed any curiosity I might have had about exploring. Pizza? Mexican? Burger? It had been way way too long between sushi and a Sopporo- Matsukaze was one of the options the internet suggested, and google maps directed me easily. Matsukaze opens at 5. I arrived shortly after 5 to find the place already full and others seated waiting for a table. This was in my opinion - a good sign! Peering around I noticed there was two rooms and servers busy attending both. When I was seated I glanced through the menu and saw Philadelphia rolls; Salmon, Cucumber and of course cream cheese. Now, I happen to think that cream cheese in a roll is tantamount to a misdemeanor, at least a tort! So I asked if I could have the cream cheese replaced with avocado. We call that a San Francisco roll where I'm from. "Sure" was the reply from my server. I sipped my beer and awaited my Grants Pass, Matsukaze "San Francisco" rolls. When they arrived I had to admit they were quite attractive; colorful and exactly as I request (and remembered). I ceremoniously applied my wasabI to the soy and fumbled a bit with the "sticks" and dipped my first roll into the light brown sauce... What had always been a perfunctory move quickly became an experience. Now I have never, to my recollection, ever written a review about a meal. But after consuming those rolls ... well, I felt like should have had a cigarette (old joke) NEVER have I had anything close to the wonderful taste of those rolls. Ever. They were an event! And that is why I intentionally took so many words to get here on the page... Look at it like... well, culinary foreplay! The locals already know...You can see it in their faces, and nods. Bravo, Matsukaze! I will make it a point, should I be anywhere near Grants Pass in the future, to visit you again! Thank you! glenn raggio

    Best restaurant in town hands down! Always delicious, whether enjoying a takeout order or dining on site. Terrific service, this place is very special 💫✨ Teriyaki is the best I’ve ever had, and amazing sushi and Mahi Mahi too! Can’t go wrong with anything on their menu.

    Dinner was delicious as usual. However, they gave my wife chicken and not the pork tomkotsu she had ordered. No biggie, she would have settled for the chicken however, they made her wait another 20 minutes to remake it while sitting there with nothing to eat watching the rest of us eat our meals. Very disappointed in how they handled it. Whatever happened to the old days when they comped that one person's meal that they screwed up. We won't be back for a long time, if ever.

    Favorite restaurant in town. Staff are so kind, and the food is incredible. The atmosphere is very clean and peaceful, a great place to eat! You must try their tempura.

    Our group of 4 stopped here for dinner after a long day of driving. It was a relaxing, delicious dinner that I'm so glad we came across. The waitress was very welcoming and helpful, the beef sukiyaki my friend ordered was amazing. All of the food we got was quite good! It was a quiet and wonderful rest with delicious food.

    Great tasting food, wish they had sushi or sashimi, or ramen.

  • 5/5 Tina R. 5 years ago on Google
    I love this place. The grilling they do on the spicy chicken and the kalbi ribs is so yummy. The service is great here, the prices are not really high and I just wish they were open on Sunday .

  • 5/5 Matt R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and service. A popular spot that is not very large so you will likely wait a bit during peak hours.

  • 5/5 Mel G. 1 year ago on Google
    Love Japanese food and this spot is great. Delicious authentic food made with amazing flavor. Really cool set up to seat traditionally on the floor too! A certain visit when in GP.

    Too busy enjoying our meal to take pictures. Everything was very tasty. The miso soup in perticular was amazing. Katsu was crisp and juicy, with a great sauce.

    There are gems hidden up and down the I5 corridor. Matsukaze's restaurant is the crowning jewel of best kept secrets. Each bite, whether the spicy chicken or their succulent sukiyaki, nothing on their menu is less than incredible. If you're in Grants Pass for any reason, do yourself a favor and stop here to experience culinary perfection.

    We were seated quickly. Server was efficient and friendly. Our disappointment came with the teriyaki chicken. We had ordered it in the past and it was tender. This time one third of the chicken was too tough to cut with a fork. Past experience encourages me to give them another chance.

    The restaurant is super cute and clean. The host was a very nice gentleman. The waitress was the best I've had so far in Grants Pass. The food was real good. The miso soup is fish base and no seaweed which was really good and not as salty as most here. The Lunch specials are a great selection. They make their dressings and it was super yummy.

    I love your restaurant and hadn't been there in some time. I pulled up and a big sign was on the door saying your hours, Mon-Thur. 5-8 and Fri & Sat 5-8:30. Well, it was a Monday and it was about 6pm... Doors were locked. I saw several people pull up and walk to door, only to find it locked and nobody there as well. Then online, hours are different. This is very conflicting!!!! I was really sad we didn't get to eat there. Please VERIFY correct hours!!!
