The young guy at the counter wasn't super helpful, but we ultimately figured out what we wanted and the outcome was 5 stars.

So nice to be able to choose everything I wanted! Wish this place was closer so I could go more often. Maybe 4 tables inside, and one outside, but we still got a spot without a problem.

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.

I really want to like Common Fields because I think the concept is a really wonderful option to…read morehave in the community, but I am let down one way or another every time I try it. It is not a totally pleasant place to sit - kids and sometimes dogs running freely is a common occurrence. They also do a bad job of advertising their events (in case you want to attend or avoid). Most of the food options are not under the same ownership as Common Fields, so I don't want to leave misleading reviews about those businesses. However, food from Kalamata Bistro has been consistently bad; food from the chicken truck was terrible (like, we should have complained, terrible). The tap list is fine, but bartenders are inconsistent in their knowledge and service. Most importantly to me, however, I don't agree with their business practices or local politics. There has been too much community discussion about Common Fields badly treating the food trucks that rent space there for me to feel good about supporting the business.

Order up here for both food and drinks

This restaurant is close to OSU, which is honestly where they get most of their business. We were tired from a long drive up from our home state of CA during our anniversary trip and were stopping to sleep near the OR coast. Corvallis was our rest stop to fuel up before heading to our dispersed campsite. I really wanted Thai food, and from my initial scouring of reviews, Thai Chili looked good. Obviously I was keeping my expectations low given that I come from a state that is known for its wide variety of delicious Asian food. The restaurant was small and spartan, and you order up front before you take a seat. I went with the boat noodles because I wanted soup, while my husband went with the tom yum fried rice. The food arrived promptly and piping hot to our table. I was immediately off put by the type of veggies in my broth. There are no broccoli or carrots in traditional boat noodles. I tried the broth, and it was decent. However, there were also no beef balls in the soup, which is standard for this dish. The noodles were fine. I also noticed that the bean sprouts were already included in the soup, as I did not receive a separate plate of herbs for me to put into my bowl. The spice powder was also already mixed into my broth. I've had boat noodles plenty of times to know what goes into the dish and on the side. In contrast, my husband's fried rice was pretty good. It was a little moist but the flavors were good and the texture wasn't mushy. Again, the spices were already mixed into the rice. We both ordered a medium spicy and both of our dishes were pretty spicy. For what we paid, I expected better Thai food, but honestly, what can you truly expect from a tiny college town in the middle of Oregon? While we left with our bellies full, I was not truly satisfied. I'd like to try some of the other noodle dishes if we go through Corvallis again, as others seem to enjoy the stir fried noodle dishes, but Thai Chili is not high on my list.

I came here with another person and they only brought one entree out first. The other entree and appetizers didn't come until 20 minutes after the other person entree was finished. Don't come here if you're on a date, one persons ramen will go cold while waiting or they're eating without you. They really need to work on the timing of their entrees and appetizers. read more

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.

The sushi was never the best, but it was better than grocery store sushi and didn't cost $200 for a family of four. About two years ago, Sugoi changed hands. It has been a steady decline since then. Most of the rolls now have fried shrimp/cooked fish or cream cheese - both of which I avoid. There are never enough servers to take orders or sometimes even bring water out. And last night, the whole place was so disgusting we felt dirty after eating there - the belt itself had sticky fingerprints and old splashed soy sauce all over. And it looked as if the train was corroded, with white powder between the belt links. It felt like cleaning had been neglected for ages. To boot, I got sick this morning... Likely from the food there. I pains me that we've lost another fast, family-friendly option in Corvallis, but I recommend avoiding Sugoi Sushi.
