Sometimes I feel like being alone and sit in a secluded corner. Other times I'm feeling social and sit in the middle where all the activity is buzzing. This is a great place to meet folks for lunch because it's fairly accessible - on bus lines, good walkability, and a few blocks away from the tunnel. If driving is more your jam, there is a built in garage or a super expensive lot across the street. The variety of food choices is good but I'll be honest - I only eat at about 3-4 places here. Basil Box has good basil fried rice. Masala has decent butter chicken. Pallino upstairs has a decent lunch special. I've eaten at other places here but I've stopped trying. I always find it to be a waste of money and a frustrating experience so I stick to what I know.

Among the…read morevariety, offerings include pizza, tacos, ramen, salad, poke, burgers, sandwiches and baked goods - definitely something to fit everyone's preferences! Prices here are on the steeper end but this food hall provides an elevated experience compared to your typical food court. It defies the stereotype that one would normally associate with food courts by proving that the term "fast food" shouldn't imply compromised quality nor level of service. The food I've tried here so far has been crafted with fresh ingredients although the flavors have been hit-and-miss. For example, I loved Barrio Luchador's tacos, but the Brawler Burger was a little too salty and oily, while the whole roast duck at Fat and Feathers was quite bland. Service is top-notch! Not only are the employees at each individual eatery friendly and helpful, but there's a wonderful cleaning staff that ensures the entire food hall space is well-kept and spotless. There are are at least a few employees who stroll around gathering empty plates and cups with a smile. I just wish there was room for more seating since during peak lunch time, the food hall becomes packed and it's difficult to find an open table. If unable to find a seat, each of the eateries can pack your food to go. Otherwise, this is a wonderful spot for a quick lunch, catching up with a friend or an informal meeting.

So far, so delicious, and almost just right…read more I've been SO excited to actually eat here after passing through to eat elsewhere. We ate at Crosta and La Baguette. Drank at Dote and eyed the Burger Bar. The HH pizzas are delicious and an excellent quality and price unmatched anywhere I've seen in the area. I enjoyed the mushrooms but would have loved them fresh and not marinated. The kids were very happy with their cheese and pepperoni (contact pizza as she called it). The French bakery next door has an awesome croque madame sandwich with bechemel sauce over the entire thing (I opted for the sauce on the side and they decided to put my cheese on the side too, which was a bad choice I didn't request). The sauce wasn't even warm and I missed my cheese on the sandwich. Next time I'll say easy sauce. They have a super delicious "hot fudge" dessert that is a brownie with a chocolate and cream mousse covered with a few brownie pieces and chocolate ganache. Oh my, I'm a baker and it was delicious! Also very grateful to find a Full Tilt ice cream selection on the east side for the first time! Baby girl was so thankful to find her blue moon front and center at La Baguette. The beer menu draft list at the burger bar was very tempting for my honey, he found a couple of new ones to try. They offer pints up to growlers. Also, my honey loves his lattes at Dote Coffee Bar. They take the time to make plenty of tasty foam for me that's well flavored and decorated with a whole bear face! The quality of food and presentation is outstanding at this food court, and I can't wait to make our way around each "station" so I can speak to all of the various tastes.

Also wish I didn't discover it my last night in town because I would have stopped in almost everyday. Huge selection - from health & beauty, dishes, alcohol, prepared food, and just about everything you can imagine from the food side (pantry and fresh). Large produce selection with a lot of items you can't easily find in an "everyday American" grocery store. I also loved they carried salad mixes. The meat and seafood area had great selection and was so clean and fresh! The pantry type items also had an incredible selection. I wish I could have stocked up on so many things. For a quick lunch or dinner, stop by and try some of their prepared food items - great selection and I felt reasonable prices. I loved browsing all the aisles and was so inspired to want to make a delicious meal. Since I was traveling, I could only pick up a few items! Hope when I return to leave some extra room in my suitcase. Great store!

I grew up in the 90's when Westlake used to be the place to hang out. There were actual shops and…read morekiosks and the food court was like a Stranger Things 80's vibe with Sbarro's and McDonald's. It really felt family friendly and the candy shop upstairs next to the monorail was packed. I remember wanting to hang out on all levels of this mall and there was Crabtree and Evelyn, B Dalton books, and so many options. I even got my ears pierced here 3 x at Claire's. The wing that connect to Subway and Taco Del Mar was also a hang out spot and it was fun to have a Seattle home base to chill. Westlake was next to Macy's, and Gap was cool back then. I didn't shop there but remember the scent of Heaven and the super perfumy scents of the 90's and Tommy Hillfiger and Nautica jackets that I wore. Jay Jacob's was the spot for Tolo and Winter formal wear and Frederick's and Nelson's felt so bougie but special. I could even get all of my specialty 90's Timberland boots. Over the decades, Westlake reminded me of a mall that was taken over by a post apocalyptic crisis. Shops were empty, the decent ones that made malls cool left such as Foot Locker, and random swap meet looking stores and other junky stores popped up. There isn't the same feel and it feels like a random hodgepodge of leftovers. I remember when Lush was in the mall and the whiff of the essential oils made things feel festive during the holidays. With so many stores and shops having to leave, Westlake is still a shell of its former felt. Who knows what it will look like in the next 10 years. If you're from out of town, I would suggest skipping Westlake. Go to Chop House Row, Melrose Market for indie and local and SouthCenter or Bellevue Square for the all American mall experience.

This place has been on my to-try list for 5 or so years, and my friend and I finally got to have it…read moreon a Saturday morning around 11:40am. It serves classic Filipino comfort food, similar to the likes of Ludi's and Sizzling Asian Grill. The only difference is that this place has been around for a really long time, and is tucked away inside part of Pike Place beyond some groceries and next to a yogurt place. It's noisy around here, and there's limited seating just around the corner of the kitchen and some straight ahead. Menu is pretty small, which is already a good thing since that means the dishes are gonna be high quality. After placing your order, the staff make your food and then call your name out when your food's ready. Both my friend and I got their longanisa plate, which comes with rice and pancit. Rice is standard and has some sauce on it, while the pancit is lightly salted and makes for a great palette cleanser. The real winner was the longanisa, and you get three thick pieces of them for around $18 after tax! Each piece was sweet, tender and juicy all around, and I could see some fat inside when I was biting into each one. They're so packed with flavor that I wish there were five pieces instead! Portions here are deceptively big even though the plate is small, so expect to struggle finishing it if you're not a big eater. I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally try here, and now that I have it's something else to cross off my really long list of Seattle places I've neglected to try over the years. Even with just one visit, I'd take family, friends, and visitors to Seattle here for one of their meals!

This isn't a standard pike place food stall--it's a high-stakes audition where the prize is lunch…read more The line moves best when everyone is understands what's at stake. You're expected to know your order, say it clearly, pay immediately, and slide down the counter like you've trained for it. Hesitate, ask a question, or make a joke and you can feel Auntie Lie, the owner, giving you the once over. I ordered the salmon sinigang and the longanisa, unfortunately, they were amazing. This is Filipino home style food- rustic, rich, flavorful, well seasoned--and after walking all day in the cold rain, it was like coming home. Auntie Lie behind the counter served it like she was issuing a warning, not a meal. Just kidding- she actually was warm and friendly. She said, "you come here before? You know exactly the right things to order". I didn't tell her it was out of fear and admiration for how she handled the tourist in front me. Just kidding . I sat at the side bar, enjoyed my meal and enjoyed reading her many notes and pictures with folk who've been longtime fans. This stall has baked in character, and in the bustle of tourists, eating here and watching it all was a great ambience. Worth it? Yes. This is a must needed spot to visit at pike place. If it isn't, don't tell Auntie Lie.

We've been here a few times throughout the years and I have to say with the expansion Pike place…read moremarket looks cleaner modern. It still has that Seattle waterfront feel, but they're a lot more open seating areas outside to enjoy the scenery, the weather and your food. We love coming here and looking through all the shops, tasting the various food options available, looking at all the beautiful flowers that they're selling. And all the little gift ideas from all the vendors. Our favorite spot is to watch the seafood areas, throw fish around and chant while they do so. It's such a staple to see this in action when you're visiting Pike place market. Don't forget to look for all of the pigs in the market area. There's one that's hiding somewhere and then there's two that sit on the corner right in front of the fish market area. I always suggest going in hungry and just trying different foods from different areas because all the food there are a delicious. This small little area connects you down to the waterfront which has the aquarium. Beware of those stairs as they can get tiresome. But the view from the top of Pike place market down to the water is beautiful. There is not a spot that you cannot capture a beautiful site.

I have no clue on what happened to Northgate. I used to love this cozy alley way of a mall and it…read morewas vibrant and rich with diversity in shops and clientele. The kiosks were fun and it was one of the only places I could get a watch chrystal replaced. JC Penney's used to be cool and the smell of Ivars, Subway, Taco Bell and Panda Express brought back the 90's nostalgia of cd's and getting new kicks. Fast forward to 2025 and the indoor mall has been closed for a long time. The only thing left is a shell of Red Robin's, Nordstrom Rack, and the outside businesses such ad chipotle AT and T and Barnes and Nobles. I was reminiscing on Blue Finn buffet, Azteca and Bed Bath. I guess there's lots of remodeling going on and the Kraken ice rink is built which draws a different vibe. It feels more disjointed as a mall and more of a huge lot with random businesses that are mismatched. Target across the way is still going strong but the crime in that area is high. I miss the old Northgate and the community vibe it attracted.
