Ordered through DoorDash during the blizzard. They were open the night before. Food was flavorful and huge servings. Came in on time, got our order correct and they were still warm. I recommend their ramen and onigiri.

Great food, appetizers and yakitori were a great combination going back and forth between great hot and cool food. I ordered the chicken skin yakitori, chicken karaage, and the waitress suggested the black caterpillar maki. If I lived here this would be an instant craving spot as I do want to try out everything in their menu.

Who prepared the menu for you? Do you have access to the text with the descriptions? Regarding the food: the soup is so diluted that you end up eating water with seaweed. The noodle soup is okay, but it’s quite ordinary. The rolls are heavily coated in mayonnaise, and nothing can ruin them…

Matsuba Izakaya was underwhelming, to say the least.
We (4) made a reservation for this place on a Friday night (7:30) after seeing the glowing reviews and we left very disappointed just because of the service. The food was actually good, but the service was atrocious.
First off, we never got our drinks, which were simple diet cokes and a Japanese soda. Second, two of the 5 dishes we ordered came out wrongly. Our server (young man with glasses) barely stopped by our table to make sure we were okay and we ended up having to call another server (long-haired lady) for what we needed.
We brought a cake to this establishment because it was my birthday and we were told it was okay, in fact they offered to put my cake in the fridge, but quickly after we finished our food and our dirty plates were taken away, we were dropped the bill on the table, nobody offered dessert, hot beverages or plates to cut the cake we have brought. Honestly this was incredibly rude, we felt we were getting rushed out and the restaurant was by no means busy.
When we received the check, the sodas that we never got were there, so we called the server (the lady that ended up serving us, not the inicial guy) and we told her we weren’t done there, that we would like to order a cup of tea and a couple of plates to eat the cake we brought.
As we were taking pictures of the cake and of us, this server asked if we wanted a picture of all of us and we said, sure why not. I was trying to hold the cake up for the picture and the server goes “hurry up”…ok that was honestly the cherry on top, I started laughing, lol. The service in this restaurant was atrocious. Nobody apologized to us for the wrong dishes we got (and for that, obviously our food got delayed), or for not giving us our drinks at all, nothing. It was extremely rude and we left so so disappointed. I would say, again, the food was good and I might try it again for a carry out/pickup order, I would NOT go eat inside this restaurant.

Passable izakaya. The sushi rolls were missing avocado when they mentioned it should contain it. The sake karma collar bone was very raw still. The ramen was just eh. Not the type of noodles you usually get from say kyuramen, but at least portions were large for it with decent flavor. The geso karaage was very burnt and chewy. Overall, the redeeming quality was the chicken skin and thigh skewers and relatively cheap sushi rolls and food. Otherwise, I would pass this place, unless you want a fix for skewers and some ok sushi rolls.

When I read the reviews of this place I thought that me and my partner were going in for a good experience. The waitress that took us to our table and served us all night didn’t smile at all, and the atmosphere didn’t feel welcoming. Everything felt incredibly rushed for no reason, we were rushed to pick what we wanted on the menu (the restaurant was almost completely empty) when it was our first time here with the waitress coming back two minutes after giving us menus (I asked for a little more time) and she came back again after what felt like another two minutes. She felt like she really didn’t want to be there or serve us.
After we ordered, we just got waters for the table. Our water had something floating in it… it looked like tobiko and dust feathers? It was hard to tell. Embarrassingly, I asked for another water for my partner (mine had stuff floating in it too but his was worse) and she brought back another glass. It didn’t have anything floating in it, but it had this gross snot? thing stuck to the side of the glass. Needless to say, my partner didn’t drink from that either. I’m not sure how you could trust the dish washing facilities at this restaurant.
At least our food tasted good, and the sushi was very well made. The fish tasted fresh.
Only at the end of the night when we paid and left her a tip did she smile at us. We’re walking away from this restaurant knowing we’re not coming back, even though the food was good.

Staff was wonderful on our visit. However, I feel that the food lacked a bit of seasoning across the board. A bit pricy for what we received.

$8 rolls that are amazing, generously sized, delicious, and an amazing value. Great date night place in downtown Medford. Parking is free after 6pm.

Small set of vegan options but all delicious. Wait staff were friendly and knowledgeable about which items could be made vegan. They have gluten free soy sauce.
The edamame was tender and cooked perfectly with the right amount of salt. The asparagus and garden rolls were tasty and a nice change from the typical options of only avocado and cucumber. The fried rice was really good.
Will definitely be back!
