    Teriyaki chicken, salad, and gyoza. Yum!!!
    Erica W.

    Wow! The teriyaki chicken was so fresh! Everything we had was so good! The gyoza was the perfect combination of fried and steamed. My son, who is a gyoza connoisseur at this point said it was the best gyoza he has had in Lincoln County. The cucumber salad was so flavorful as was the Miso soup! The ambience was traditional Japanese, which I love! And the service was great. All food arrived at a good pace and our server had a very kind and nice demeanor. Overall a great dining experience!

    This is the best Chinese food I've found in the area. Everything I've had has been good. I like the orange chicken, vegetable lo mein, strings beans and garlic and crab puffs are delish. For some reason I thought the sweet and sour shrimp would not be breaded. It was a little too thick and doughy for me. Other than that it's been pretty consistent. This is my go to fix when I'm craving Chinese.

    Small little hole in the wall that you'd drive by without thinking of stopping bcuz it's off a busy Main Street. But stop and try this amazing restaurant. Small and quaint. Very friendly, service was great. The food was fresh, cooked to order & the food was SO GOOD!!

    TLDR: Amazing! Get the Potstickers and Crab Puffs! We moved to Albany from Tigard, Or, and have been trying to find a good Chinese restaurant to replace our old favorite (Wu's Open Kitchen- if you're ever in Tigard). We've spent the last year trying different restaurants to come up disappointed, till now! The Show is the best Chinese food we've had in the Albany/Corvallis/Salem area, and would highly recommend!! Favorites: Potstickers, Crab Puffs, Pork Fried Rice, Sweet & Sour Chicken, Cashew Chicken Full Descriptions below! -------- Pork Potstickers: Homemade, pan-fried, stuffed to the brim with meaty filling. One of my all-time favorites Crab Puffs: Super rich cream cheesy goodness. Pork Fried Rice: Simple with a subtle buttery deliciousness. I'm sure their house fried rice is bomb, too. My bf just doesn't love shrimp. Sweet & Sour Chicken: Dished with the sauce on the side when it's take out (which is ideal!!). The chicken is perfectly deep fried puffy pieces with a great chicken to batter ratio. Also, not oily. Cashew Chicken - one of my all-time fav dishes that isn't available at all Chinese restaurants. If fried, you can't tell. It's a perfect texture in between fried and not, with a more marinated flavor. This one is packed with carrots, mushrooms, and a crap ton of celery. I'll be honest, I hate celery, but I love Cashew chicken. Personally, I'd probably order it light on the celery in the future, or without it, but the chicken is so worth picking through the celery for. Not a fan: Broccoli Beef - I normally find hit or miss at restaurants. This one was a miss for me. They nailed the texture (saucy- not gloopy), but it was very peppery in flavor. I am not a peppery person, So it's a pass for me. All-in-all, one of my fav Chinese restaurants of all-time!! Absolutely will be back!! *pic is after we ate all we could and more!

    A lot has changed since I left Corvallis 24 years ago. I remember we had a handful of Chinese places and they were of the old school variety. Now I come back here and there is new place all over including this one I had never been to. Came here with the family so was able to try several things including the beef brisket noodle soup and the stir fried noodles places. All were big portions and excellent. It was so hard to choose because there was many good options on the menu. Looking around at other plates from other tables I could tell that I would have equally been happy with other choices. This place seems to be a combo of ordering at the counter and table service. I think the place is small enough to where if they see someone sit down the guy can just pop out from behind the counter and take our order. I am looking forward to visiting my parents again so we can all come back here.

    If your idea of "real" Chinese food is overcooked vegetables, dry meat and sticky rice, then this is the place for you.

    General TSO chicken, fish fillet in hot and spicy sauce and pot stickers were all good. Will come back to try other dishes.

    They're alright but nothing really worth going back for. The flavor was there in the dish I ordered but it was overspiced.

    Wasn't expecting to find a basement sushi place in Corvallis, OR but here it is. Convenient…read moredowntown location. Sat at the sushi bar and ordered the sushi boat. Reasonably priced under $40. They have Sapporo on tap which is nice. Also had the edamame as an appetizer. The server wasn't super on top of her game so the sushi boat sat for quite awhile before I finally said something and she realized it had been ready. Not the end of the world but definitely a training opportunity. The sushi was good--not great. But it was also priced in that range so no problem. Good portions making it a good value. No complaints and everything was within expectations.

    We miss Sada! Not quite the same but still tasty…read more.. Sada roll - first time trying tempura mahi mahi in a sushi roll and it was great! Nice ponzu sauce with it that accented the roll nicely. 4 stars. Avocado cucumber roll - kiddo approved! Nice bite size maki roll. 5 stars. Hamachi roll - chopped up hamachi with green onion. Not super fresh but still good. 3 stars. Teriyaki salmon bento box - definitely the deal to get! Loved the real crab in the California roll and the large tempura pieces - shrimp, carrot, kabocha, broccoli and zucchini. No rice but came with miso soup. The salmon was a little over cooked but still good. 4 stars. Not sure if Sada is still around but hopefully we'll get to enjoy his food again someday!

    Cute spot on Corvallis' Main Street. Good sized dining area, but no patio seating for summer…read more Servers were super friendly and attentive. Oregon roll- super yummy, and fresh fish Bibimbap- comes in a heated bowl and various salads to add on top of Octopus salad- the vinegar dressing could've been added to the octopus rather than just the veggies, but it was good!

    First time here, some friends & I came in for an early dinner and it was not busy. We were really…read moreexcited to see they had Korean BBQ and all ordered meats we could grill. Turns out we could NOT grill them, but this was not explained to us when we ordered, and then had an extremely weird & uncomfortable meal. A man working at the restaurant came over with the raw meats, stood there the whole time, grilled it, wouldn't let us do it ourselves, which was weird enough, but then proceeded to tell us what to dip things in, how much salad to serve ourselves, what to eat the meats with, what not to eat meats with, and was generally bossy. Supposedly this is due to customers coming in not having done Korean BBQ before and not knowing how long to grill meats, however we had all been to Korean BBQ joints before, and knew how it worked, but were not asked. We just awkwardly sat there in silence as none of us felt like continuing our conversation until the guy was done and left us alone. (3 different meats we ordered, one cooked after another, no say from us on how or when) Staff were friendly enough and food was good but this was weird and I won't be back.
