The food was tasty—the shrimp tempura was crispy, and the udon hotpot was warm and comforting, though it could have used a bit more chicken. Prices were on the higher side, and the portions felt a bit small for what they charge. Service was decent, and the atmosphere was unique, featuring traditional Japanese seating and large, eye-catching fish tank.

So this restaurant is in the basement of the same building as TacoVino, on Monroe, by the river. They are only open early for lunch on Fri and Sat, and closed on Monday. Other days the hours are 4pm-9pm. We went in the early evening of a Sunday, and did not have any parking issues. We ate a lot of sushi and other dishes and had flights of sake. With tip, the bill was a little over my price comfort level, but no complaints about that.
One thing is that we would have bought another round of drinks, but the waitress never came back. We had to wait too long to get our check. She just seemed too busy to be bothered.

Had late Lunch there with my family of 4. The place is really nice. Spacious and well decorated. The staff were courteous and helpful. They had bento boxes and Sushi which we ordered the Sushi Deluxe plate and chicken and Salmon Bento box and for appetizers.

Sada is my familys go to spot for sushi in town - we always enjoy our meals here. There's a good selection of sushi and still lots of options for those who might not enjoy sushi as much. We most often come for lunch and usually get a variety of sushi and a bento box - always filling and delicious! The lunch specials are great value as well. We recently came for dinner and I found out that the bento boxes for the dinner menu are slightly different, which was cool!
If you plan on coming on a weekend night, call ahead and try to make a reservation, otherwise expect a wait.
My only nitpick is that the restaurant could use a little TLC as age and wear and tear is starting to show. The world maps on the walls are a neat addition, but if you look closely, they are ripped in many spots and splattered in food/soy sauce.
We still love to eat here and come often!

Got there curry chicken Katsu and vegetable tempura to go. Food was good and fresh but a bit too pricey.

Let me start with this: Sada has the best sushi in Corvallis. Hands down. If you’re looking for silky slices of salmon, inventive rolls, or a satisfying agadashi tofu, this is the place. The fish is fresh, the presentation is solid, and on a good night, the whole experience is flawless. Unfortunately, that “good night” is a bit of a gamble.
We eat here all the time—because we are addicts. Probably 80% of the time, the service is fantastic. The staff are warm, fast, and genuinely welcoming. You feel like a regular, even if it’s your second visit. But the other 20%? Buckle up.
The worst night? New Year’s Eve. We arrived hopeful and hungry, only to discover that our server and the hostess were clearly auditioning for a Seth Rogen film. I’m not saying they were high, but if you’ve ever tried to order tempura from a guy who’s staring past you into another dimension, you get the idea.
After an hour of waiting, someone finally realized our order had never been sent in. Another server, clearly sober and competent, took over. Crisis averted—or so we thought. We tried to order a few more things, but then our original server drifted back in from wherever he’d been (space? a broom closet?) and confidently re-took our order, which of course vanished into the void. When we asked about it later, we were told the kitchen was closed and we’d missed last call. A beautiful fusion of confusion and disappointment.
We swore we’d never return.
But… the sushi.
So a few months later, we caved. We decided to forgive, forget, and roll the dice. And wouldn’t you know it—we got seated in that guy’s section again.
To their credit, he seemed more earthbound this time. Maybe even employed. We ate our sushi. It was fantastic. We returned to the 80% timeline.
So yes, I recommend Sada—but like you’d recommend a great camping spot that might have bears. It’s mostly amazing, but every once in a while, you might find yourself stranded in a service black hole wondering if your spicy tuna roll ever existed.

The sushi here is the best quality we've found in Oregon. Sada's attention to quality are apparent in every bite... if I ever get to request a last meal, this will be it... <3
