We visited Pike Place Chowder after hearing all of the hype about it being an award-winning…read morerestaurant and serving the best clam chowder in the United States. Unfortunately, our experience did not live up to the reputation. The clam chowder was just average. It wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't memorable or deserving of the accolades we had read about. The slice of sourdough bread served with it was extremely dry and tasted stale, which was disappointing given Seattle's reputation for great sourdough. We also ordered the cod fish and chips, and the fish tasted like frozen, pre-breaded cod rather than fresh fish. The coating was crispy; although, the fish did taste fresh. Overall, we left feeling that the restaurant was overrated. We had expected a standout meal based on its reputation, but instead found the food to be average at best. While the service was fine and the line moved efficiently, we wouldn't make a point to return or recommend it as a must-visit dining experience in Seattle.

There is an online waitlist through the Toast app, which is a great way to save yourself some time. https://tables.toasttab.com/dough-zone-pine-street/joinWaitlist?deeplink=true Dough Zone has a new QR code order system, which is very convenient and works for everything except alcoholic beverages. You can open a tab and then order more items whenever you feel like it. That's great, since it can take a little while to get the attention of the waitstaff.

There's not too much seating available so I would recommend making a reservation but I was luckily able to snag a table for myself without one. Service was very quick Mala Spicy Beef Dry Mix Noodles (medium spice), 5/5, delicious!! I think the medium was the perfect spice level for me where it wasn't too little or too much and I thought this was quite filling. I was very hungry as I didn't have lunch so I finished the whole bowl but I think if you were eating normally you could have a bit to take away as well! This is an ideal meal for a cold, rainy Seattle day and the restaurant's decor and large fish tank definitely gave it a Chinese restaurant atmosphere

One or two big plush noodles plus all the seasonings and oil oil oil to boot. What's not to love. Keep your loved ones close but your Tums closer with this one. The spicy oiliness of it all sends you to heaven and to heartburn. The apps aren't bad either but it's a heaping bowl- I almost always have leftovers (pro tip is to boil more noodles at home and add them so the meal literally keeps giving for a while) Go early or be prepared to wait. The turnover is wicked fast here you literally order and get your noodles like 1 minute later, and it's majorly slurpable so I feel like you finish pretty quick! Also there's a nice fish tank to look at while you're seated.

However I decided to check it out since it's a lot closer to where I live and was craving some sushi. Their selection isn't as big as FOB's but it's still very generous. They have inari, rolls, and nigiri - they do limit the number of "expensive" nigiri you can get though which does kind of suck. I tried a few rolls and a few nigiri. They all tasted really fresh, and I like how they aren't as enormous and one-note tasting as FOB's. Everything tasted unique! This should do the job to satisfy the sushi cravings :)

I was in the area and want to try this place since it's been popping up on my Instagram pages and I…read morehave to say, I'm not super impressed. This is a sushi by the pound place in SLU, but they also have a menu with variety of things such as udon, inari, chirashi, etc. The selection of fish you can choose from in the weigh your sushi section is not that big. They only have 2 high premium fishes available: otoro and amberjack. However you can only get 1 of each, which to me defeats the purpose. I also got a bulgogi inari and it was $5 / piece which is pricey. Another thing is that they use a lot of rice, too much rice. Service is ok, they ring you up and bring the food to you if you ordered through the menu. It's a very relaxing and chill area as well. The food we got was just ok but for the price, it's not worth it. I'm glad I tried but most likely will not be back.

They told us they had happy hour after 9:00 PM with 31% off everything on the menu. Happy hour?! What a surprise! I thought they only had happy hour midday. I was recovering from a cold and soup sounded great, so we walked right in. ​The last time we were here was a year ago during our annual Seattle trip. The tomato soup is our favorite, but we decided to have that along with the gold chicken and fish maw soup this time. The fish maw soup is very collagen-rich and comforting to drink. ​We also ordered the beef sirloin slices, lamb shoulder, and pork belly, all of which were top quality. ​What I like about Haidilao is the variety of items you can use to make your own sauce. Every time you come, it's a bit of a "choose your own adventure." ​Definitely one of our favorite places to visit!

The food was good, the service was fun, and our kids absolutely loved coming here. We went back yesterday and were honestly shocked at how much has changed. 1. Combo A has been gutted. The old Combo A was around $34 per person and included vegetables. Now, to get roughly the same meal, you're looking at closer to $50 per person. This isn't simply a price increase--they removed much of what made the combo a good value. 2. You're now charging for the condiment bar. Want soy sauce? That's an extra charge. For a family of four, getting access to basic condiments adds roughly another $30. Charging extra for soy sauce at a hot pot restaurant feels incredibly nickel-and-dime. 3. The family-friendly experience has disappeared. No toys for the kids at the table. No bibs. Many of the little touches that made Haidilao unique--and justified paying a premium--are gone. 4. Even the claw machines have changed. The kids used to receive one token for every $10 spent, so a $100 meal meant 10 tokens and they could almost always leave with a prize. Now that same spend gets only four tokens. It may seem trivial to adults, but for kids it's one of the highlights of the visit. Instead of leaving excited, they leave disappointed. What puzzles me is that these cuts can't possibly save very much. Bok choy is inexpensive. The toys probably cost about a dollar each in bulk. Yet all of these changes together make the experience feel 25-40% more expensive. Our family of four would now easily spend over $200 for dinner. Sorry, but this isn't a high-end steakhouse. The robot servers are neat, but they're not "$200 dinner" neat. The biggest disappointment isn't even the higher bill--it's that Haidilao is no longer fun for our kids. That was the entire reason we kept coming back. We happily spent around $1,500 a year here because everyone in the family enjoyed it. Now we'll spend that money somewhere else. Maybe the restaurant is packed enough that they don't care. Maybe they've intentionally decided to stop catering to families with young kids. That's certainly a business decision they can make. But if that's the strategy, they've lost our family as customers. It feels like the company is sacrificing long-term loyal customers to save a few dollars per table. That's disappointing, because Haidilao used to be one of our favorite restaurants. 中文（给海底捞管理层） 我们一家过去非常喜欢海底捞。我们每年大约会来 10 次，每次消费约 150 美元，而且我们一直觉得非常值得，因为这里不仅食物好，服务也好，孩子们更是玩得特别开心。 但是昨天再次来用餐，我们真的很震惊。 1. A套餐几乎被"缩水"了。 以前大约每人 34 美元，还包含蔬菜。现在如果想吃到和以前差不多的内容，每人大概要花接近 50 美元。这不仅仅是涨价，而是把原本套餐里很多东西都取消了。 2. 调料现在还要额外收费。 连最基本的酱油都需要另外付费。对于一家四口来说，仅仅使用调料台就要多花约 30 美元。火锅店连酱油都单独收费，真的让人觉得是在处处收费。 3. 对孩子友好的体验几乎都没有了。 没有桌边小玩具了，没有围兜了。过去那些让海底捞与众不同、也让顾客觉得值得多花一点钱的小细节，现在基本都消失了。 4. 连娃娃机奖励也缩水了。 以前每消费 10 美元就给一个游戏币，消费 100 美元能拿到 10 个，孩子几乎一定能抓到一个玩具，高高兴兴回家。现在同样消费 100 美元却只有 4 个游戏币。对成年人来说可能只是小事，但对孩子来说，这是整顿饭最期待的部分。现在他们只能失望地离开。 最让我不理解的是，这些改变真的能省下多少钱吗？青江菜成本并不高，玩具批量采购可能也就一美元左右一个。但这些改变加起来，却让整个用餐体验贵了大约 25% 到 40%。 现在我们一家四口吃一顿饭，很容易超过 200 美元。说实话，这毕竟不是高档牛排馆。机器人送餐确实很有趣，但还没有有趣到值 200 美元一顿饭。 真正让我们失望的，并不是价格上涨，而是这里已经不再是一个孩子们喜欢来的地方了。而这恰恰是我们过去一直愿意来的原因。 过去我们每年都会在海底捞消费大约 1,500 美元，因为全家人都很享受这里的体验。以后，这笔钱我们会花在别的餐厅。 也许海底捞现在生意太好了，不在乎失去像我们这样的老顾客；也许公司已经决定不再把家庭顾客作为重点。这当然是企业自己的选择。 但如果这是公司的经营方向，那么你们确实失去了我们一家这个长期顾客。为了每桌节省一点点成本，却失去长期忠诚的家庭客户，我认为这并不是一个明智的决定。真的很遗憾，因为海底捞曾经是我们最喜欢的餐厅之一。
