    Beef stew
    Wayne D.

    Interesting selection of pickles. Some are pretty good. Helps open up the appetite Unfortunately the other things are kinda disappointing. Curry pork katsu has very mild flavor. Need some salt. And too much flour, not enough meat in the middle. Beef stew on cast iron is very large portion. Pretty tender and serves hot. Just wish the seasoning is more strong. Very nice staff and service

    Teriyaki salmon
    Traci F.

    A friend recommended this place while we were in town visiting OSU. This place is located in downtown Corvallis among lots of cute shops and eateries. The service was fast and friendly. We ordered the chicken katsu and teriyaki salmon. Banchan was served while we were waiting for our order. Everything was so good! The katsu was made with chicken breast and was fried perfectly. It was served with sushi rice, glass noodles, and cole slaw. The teriyaki salmon came sizzling on a hot plate and was served with rice. It was perfectly seasoned and yummy! The portions are big and the prices are reasonable. They also serve gelato for dessert.

    Spicy pork udon, Stunning presentation and generous portion.

    My YELP hunting always pays off yet this find was another level of excellence! The name alone is super creative but the menu is perfection. I had tremendous difficulty making a choice because I wanted to try everything. I'll admit I skipped the seafood pancake appetizer because it was $21 bucks and my guess is it was too much food for an appetizer. I wanted to try more than one thing. There's no hostess station so when I walked in and saw a counter I was a bit confused until another customer waiting to for take out hinted for me to wait by the door to be seated. The young waiter showed me to a table and was very professional. There was a waitress as well and they handled the busy front house efficiently. The decore is open, bright, and simple. It's not elegant but it can have an upscale feel. The wings appetizer was unbelievable! Crispy huge wings that are obviously brined. They are meaty moist and huge and the most crispy wings you could imagine. Doused in this certainly house made sauce yet the crispiness preservereste. The Spicy Pork Udon is remarkable. The sizzling dish is stunning when it comes to the table. The mix and abundance of vegetables in those dishes is impressive. I guess by now reading this you get that I was blown away by Koriander. Don't think twice just get there and see for yourself. This place is a MEGA GEM!!! A must visit restaurant in Corvallis. BRAVO!!!!!

    Seafood pancake
    Audry P.

    Awesome little Korean fusion place I found while visiting family. Quaint dining area can accommodate large or small groups. The menu has a great selection of Asian fusion, so you'll more than likely be able to find something you like to eat. I ordered Gimbap, seafood pancake, and japche And my aunt ordered soup. The food came out fast, it was hot and fairly delicious. I would have liked to have gotten a little more seasoning on the seafood pancake, but other than that, this place was a good lunch choice. I truly enjoyed the japche and the gimbap, two things I used to get all the time in South Korea. If you're looking for a decent Asian fusion place, swing by and give it a try.

    Love this place! We always make it a point to eat here when in Corvallis. Plenty of seating, staff is nice and friendly, good food too.

    Good downtown lunch spot (they have adult beverages so maybe dinner as well). - Billed as fusion cuisine and I suppose they offer that but I am more interested in straight-up Korean food. That's on the menu too. - Spicy beef soup (yukgaejang) is very good, although not terribly spicy (I believe you can order that if you wish). You get a large bowl, as is typical, with four banchan (also good) and some rice. - Service is efficient but wooden. Not many friendly greetings or smiles to be had here but you'll get your food in a reasonable time. And the check too. - Ambiance and seating are neutral, comfortable. All low-top tables and banquets so the mobility-challenged will be fine here. - It's quiet. You're not assaulted by dreadful music. - Very convenient to all the downtown shops and doings.

    A dreamy photo that takes the mind to a better location.

    **This account only reviews restrooms** While visiting Koriander, a nice little spot in Corvallis, you may feel the call to excuse yourself from the table. There are two restrooms, both single occupancy, one male, one female. Immediately upon entry you are greeted by the throne itself. No frills, straight to business. The decor is interesting. While sitting upon the porcelain delight you can look to your right and dream of the ocean. But... if you need some inspiration on what to do while in the restroom, take a gander of the photo left of the door and you'll see a nice photo of some chocolate gelato. A great reminder of the business you find yourself engaged in. The sink is a little dirty and the door looks like is was gripped by a mechanic that didn't wash his hands over a full day's work, but the restroom has all the tools you need to pull off the job you came there for.

    Dolsot bibimbap
    Iris L.

    Came here for a mother daughter lunch date yesterday. Keeping my review consistent 4 star since I last reviewed 5 years ago? Was going to give 3 because quality of food did go down a bit and price did go up a bit however to support local business through pandemic I changed mind. After all the Korean food they served were still able to bring joy and to the table and tasted good, so that was enough to earn the star back. They still maintained serving delicious banchan (side dishes) and giving more to you with a heartwarming smile made up for it. Portion size wise we ordered dolsot bibimbap ($15) which is stone pot mixed vegetables with rice cooked topped with a fried egg and some bulgogi. You break the egg up and mix all the veggies in and the side of bibimbap sauce. The hot stone pot kind of serves it purpose of charring or "cooking" the rice a bit more while it's being mixed. It was delicious and side dishes went well with the entree and rice will always fill up hungry stomachs. I did wish there were more veggies and meat. It was a good mother daughter lunch date.

    Pork curry katsu

    I had the pork curry katsu and bul-duk beagee. The food was amazing! It was ready on time and the portions were nice for the price. Both dishes came with rice and sides. I did find a hair cooked into my katsu which is why I am only giving 3/5.

    Pinolo is absolute perfection, you won't find better gelato…read more The space is adorable with both indoor and outdoor seating. The piles of gelato can be seen through the window, calling you inside. The menu has a few staples and a few seasonal items. They forage for the seasonal ingredients or work directly with local farms, we love supporting small local businesses! They also have a dairy free menu, so lots of options for everyone. Everything I've tried has been exceptional and super flavorful. You can really taste the flavor, even something as subtle as blueberry. They often have combinations of fruits and herbs which are fun to try. Despite loving everything I've tried, I get the same thing every time. I get chocolate and hazelnut, the perfect combination. The chocolate is dark and rich, but not too sweet. The hazelnut is nutty perfection (and I'm not really a nut person). The combo is absolutely divine - think nutella or baci. You really truly can't go wrong here, we are so lucky to have this in our city!

    It's my one and only spot for gelato these days. I love their seasonal flavors! There are always…read more1-3 pints of their hazelnut in my freezer at all time. My adult children got hooked and enjoyed them every time they visited. If you haven't been here, what is wrong with you?

We're talking early 80s... a whole different world. You had folks still hanging on to the 70s like it owed them money bell-bottoms, wild personalities, and people that were just downright funny without even trying. I swear, half the entertainment wasn't even the ice cream, it was just sitting there watching humanity stroll by in all its glory. But let's not get it twisted the ice cream absolutely hits the spot. This is that soul food for the student grind. When studying runs too long, when the day's been rough, when the Oregon heat sneaks up on you, or when you just need a little reset... this is the place. Scoop after scoop, flavor after flavor, it never lets you down. And being right there by the University of Oregon? Come on. There's just something about grabbing a cone on campus that feels right. Timeless. Like it belongs there. Customer service has always been solid, the vibe is iconic, and the whole place carries this charm that refuses to fade. Some things change over the years... this place just keeps being exactly what it should be. Five stars. Always has been. Go Ducks !!
