Matsukaze Japanese Restaurant

A good place to eat if you are passing through or staying in Grants Pass. Japanese, Korean, and Hawaiian cuisine. Wait staff are friendly, kind, and understanding especially Sarah. Owner is a pleasure to chat with. Good spacing between the tables and booths, not cramped. Three Japanese style low tables too. Good prices on entrees and drinks especially beer and Sake. Kalbi ribs were nice. Meat was tender. Tempura was also good, lightly breaded, with a tasty sauce. My wife liked her Red Snapper, but I thought it needed more flavor. Pickled veggies and kimchi were good. Miso soup was little salty. Overall, a good value for the price with friendly service in a pleasant atmosphere.

The owner takes pride in his restaurant and customer. . Clean and relaxing environment. My take out tonight was a last minute decision on the way home instead of my usual phone in. It was ready so quick that the owner himself brought it to my truck since I told him I was gonna pop out to make a quick call.

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.

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.

Only open for dinner. Get there early. Line starts around 4pm, they open at 5. Also not a lot of seating. I'd say @25 tables. Parking is tight too. If the lot is full, you will be waiting for a table.
The food is very good, we had teriyaki. Service is excellent, they are always filling water glasses up.
Would definitely go again.

Absolutely shocked that they had a spot open ok valentine's day a couple days before it. It is a little bit of a shame that you do have to book most spots in advance. BUT, there's no extra cost and they're pretty quick with their amazing food. We also had desert, and it was bussin🔥

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!

Is a beautiful Restaurant with a nice atmosphere the Manager very professional and kind I Recommend it the food is very delicious very Romantic place quite it for the whole family thank you very much for the excellent experience.

This was my favorite restaurant as a kid. It's been 30+ years since I've eaten there and the food is as good as it was then. Lived it

It felt really authentic and the waiter was super good to me and my family. The food was the best! If your in town and don't know what to eat I suggest eating here

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!

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.

Was surprised. Price was what I hoped it would be. Great service. Clean. Need to do Matsukaze more often.

So glad we visited, after a long time. Everything was very nice.

Best restaurant in Grants Pass, hands down. Has been for as long as I can remember, this place holds so many happy memories for me and my family over the years. Superb sushi, and a variety of fresh and flavorful options everyone will enjoy. 💓💫✨
