I went to Pike Place Chowder and did not get any chowder! Next time for sure. This location is at the top floor of Pacific Place shopping center which has a few stores and the AMC Theater. There are a few seats inside or you can sit at a table just outside and people watch too. They had the salmon sandwich on special so went for that. Lettuce, tomato, onion, aioli. Thick slice of salmon on a toasted bun. Tasty! Enjoyed the fries too. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Some type of season which I thought was old bay but very faint. The chicken strips were also good, the breading was impressive. There was only ranch (Ken's) and BBQ for sauces. I would have liked to see other options. Overall very good and would try the chowder next time. read more

They didn't lie when they said this is the best chowder! Me and my friend were too late to make it to the Pike market place for chowder so we decided to check out the second location The instructions on our map was a little difficult to find because it didn't mention it was in a mall food court but if you didn't know, now, you know. Restaurant is small and busy but the service was fast we didn't have to wait long I think we were there around 6 or 7 there's also more seating out in front of the shop as well. we had to get the four sampler plate so we can try out the different chowders. I want to say the New England chowder was my favorite, but they were all really good and unique.i will definitely make this a mandatory stop when I'm in Seattle. read more

I was initially disappointed as I was excited to get the 4 cup chowder sampler so I could specifically try their Crab Oyster & Chorizo, Seared Scallop, Smoked Salmon and Lime and Coconut chowders just to find out that the Pacific Place location didn't have any of those. These can be found at their original location in Pikes Market. OK, in their defense, I should have done better research. I did get their New England Clam Chowder which I had at their Pike Place Market location and it never disappoints. Hand crafted and creamy with lots of delicious clams. I also took my chance on the 1/2lb Maine Lobster Roll which I split with my son. It was delicious but seriously under sized for the $61 price tag. I feel ashamed for admitting I spent that kind of money. Live and learn. Seating was ok as we sat at the bar stools and watched the people flock next door to Din Tai. read more

I had to try the clam chowder here and didn't want to get it from the obviously packed Pikes Place location. I ordered the sampler and clam strips. I only got 1 bite of the New English clam chowder but it was delicious. The Market chowder was really good. Now for the bad....the lo bisque had too many tomato chunks. Maybe it's me but I love a creamy bisque with chunks of lobster meat. The overwhelming taste of tomato made it hard got me to taste anything else. The sourdough bread that came with easy eaten. It's located on the 4th floor the building and is a very small stall so I recommend take out as there are only a few tables. Parking for me was easy. I parked free on the street because it was Sunday but I'm assuming it would be difficult on other days. Also what's the deal with Seattle and ketchup??? It's very hard to get it at many places when getting take out. I heard it has to do with waste. Lesson learned. Always ask for ketchup if you have fried or else you may find yourself without any. read more

Found at the top of the Pacific Place mall is an area of several restaurants. The Pike Place Chowder is one of them. Out of the many items on the menu, we opted for the New England Clam Chowder. As a former new Englander, I can say that it was good. It was really creamy but had a tad too much salt. It is served with a slice of sour dough bread. We split a Caesar salad which was good and served with croutons on the side. The dressing was Ken's Caesar which was good, but a bit too commercial. The seating area has 9 tables with a sign on each one saying that you can't hold the table. This is not good when it is very crowded. The guys behind the counter were very nice and helpful. They answered all of our questions. read more

Located in Pacific Place on the 4th floor, next to Din Tai Fung. The chowder hype is real. The New England Clam Chowder is my ultimate fave. I also ordered the lobster roll. Totally underwhelming. More bread than lobster :( I've had better elsewhere. I'd come back for the chowder tho. read more

Bad customer service. One woman in particular was quite rude. The ambience at the Pike Place location is much better.

Very tasty chowder but I am still on the fence whether it was worth the ~45 min wait. The man scooping our soup was pretty generous and gave us as much bread as we wanted. We went with the 4 soup sampler to split with my boyfriend. Plenty of soup to go around. We got the market special (crab, corn, lobster, etc), the classic New England (go CT!), crab and scallops, and probably a salmon one. Nothing was labeled so it was a roulette of soups. Everything was delicious and distinguished by the levels of cajun seasoning or lack thereof. This lasted us through lunch so definitely pretty filling. read more

This place is worth the hype! The service is fast and kind and the chowder is delicious! There is some seating indoors and some outdoors. Definitely would come back again to try the other flavors! read more

Don't be confused by the little hole in the wall type shop. The chowder flight was interesting and good. The fish and chips was good too.

**April 2024: Weekday Late Morning Visit** It's a cold, wet dreay day in Seattle and what better way to finish a trip to the rain city than by warming up to a a hot cup of Seattle's finest Clam Chowder. this particular shop has won tons of awards and for good reason. I came early around 1030ish before it open and decided to walk around. Noob mistake #1, if you're there early, just start to line up. When I came back at 10:55am there was a line winding inside the building. I think I was probably 60 in line or something. Thankfully the line moved relatively quickly and I was able to get my cup within 15 minutes or so. There are a lot options to choose from but the OG award winning New England style was a hit and I wouldn't mind eating that again and again. Seating does fill up quickly, but I didn't mind standing and enjoying the soup. It's definitely a tourist trap, but I think it's well worth a visit! read more

Came on a Monday and there was a small line but it goes quick! Even if you are in the end of the second half of the line against the opposite walkway, you're waiting no more than 15minutes. There is minimal seating inside and near the exit of the restaurant but there was no wait if we walked out towards the pier. We got the 8 cup sampler and it was perfect to share amongst 4 people. Staff were nice and when we asked how many bread came with the sampler, they said 4 but gave us extras. Honestly the "extra bread" pieces are better than the slices because it's the center of the sourdough bowls! The chowders all tasted fantastic and worthy of their awards. I'll probably stick with the 4 cup next time since we still had some leftover. read more

This place is yummy and kept clean. The service was okay, nothing above or beyond. The important part is that the food was outstanding. I'm not big on the Smoked Salmon chowder but it tasted okay, was seasoned well and you can taste the smoked salmon but not overwhelmingly. read more

This place is a MUST try in Seattle! I got the chowder flight. I wasn't able to take a picture because seating was limited and took it to go. But, the chowder is so creamy, full of seafood and clams. I loved all four of the chowders I was able to try. The service was great and quick. Seating is limited because it at the corner of the market but you may be able to find seating in other areas of the market. If you can definitely stop by! read more

Truly award winning chowder! Their classic clam chowder was 10/10. Their other chowders are good but not nearly as good as the classic

I'm so embarrassed I waited for this but even more embarrassed for those of yall that said this was good. I've had something out of a can tasting better read more

This was a stop on our chef-guided tour with Eat Seattle, and it was divine! We had been wanting to try clam chowder, but weren't sure we wanted a whole bowl. The sample was divine, and I wanted more! Apparently this chowder won the New England competition (judges' and crowd favorite) three years in a row and then got banned for ten years. Sore losers; step up your game, New England! Yum! Be sure to order online for pickup and save time in line when you're at the Market! read more

Very quick service, you get a $1 coupon for the chowder sampler if you check in with yelp first. Pike Place Chowder is located on the 4th floor food court of a mall area that google maps takes you to. The chowder itself is pretty solid, tastes good and has reasonable prices. I got the New England Clam chowder. Comes with a small slice of bread. read more

Our hotel let us know that this was the place to go if we didn't want to wait on any long lines for Pike Place, and they were right! I don't know if it's the same quality, but this was pretty good. My favorites were definitely the calamari and the fish & chips (we got the halibut). Both tasted fresh and were perfectly crispy. Like the fish was melt in your mouth good. And the fries were seasoned real well. The only thing I found lacking was the clam chowder. I thought the ratio of soup to stuff was off, with stuff winning out over soup. Also I don't know if they serve oyster crackers, but I was desperately missing those oyster crackers. What is soup without oyster crackers. I also thought the prices were pretty high. I would have loved to try the lobster roll, but $35+ for it was not worth it for me when we also wanted to try other things. read more

This place is good! Super busy. Glad I stopped by. Service is very convenient, it's pay and go. You're not allowed to sit down before you order so that allows efficiency for seats. Portions are generous. The place itself is small but there's other seating across the way. read more

I really like this place. The lobster rolls are delicious and so is their clam chowder. The fries were also yummy (although a bit salty). I like coming back here when I'm in the area to get good clam chowder and lobster rolls. As for the restaurant itself, I like the old-school decorations they have. They have bar seating around the restaurant and right outside the main restaurant there are tables you can sit at too. The service was good. I didn't have to wait long at all for my food on Thursday lunchtime. read more

We visited the pike place and didn't do any research on what to eat. Overheard other visitors and decided to stop by and try. It's in the pike alley and the line was long, but move quickly. They have several workers helped directing the line. The clam chowder was delicious, full of flavor, very fresh. It's not thick in texture, but very creamy. Surprisingly, it was a huge hit for my kids who don't usually eat seafood. We also tried the lobster roll, which is a cold sandiwsh (for some reason I thought it would be warm). The lobster roll was expensive, and nothing really stick out except being fresh. If you stay in line, then you can eat at their table. No saving table before you get your food. They also offer a QR code for ordering, but you won't be able to dine at their place. Wish they can ship national wide because for sure we are craving for more!!! read more

The best clam chowder I've had! My friend and I ordered the 4-cup chowder sampler, which comes with the New England Clam Chowder, Seafood Bisque, Manhattan Chowder, and Smoked Salmon Chowder (+ a slice of sourdough bread). The best was definitely the New England Clam Chowder and the Seafood Bisque. We arrived on a weekend around 3:30pm, and there was no line. Limited seating is available inside the shop and more is available immediately outside in the mall. read more

Top floor next to the movie theatre and Din Tai Fung. We got the chowder in bread bowls. Full of clams and creamy. I would say that chowder is hard to be amazing so the pike place chowder is good as one can expect. Service was friendly which was nice. They were hustling. Glad we gave them a try. We walked by the market location. Yikes, it was crowded with very long lines. We are glad we went to pacific place. read more

My first time eating here. I was expecting it be a bit better but maybe my tastebuds just didn't agree. I love how they give u the tops of the bread bowl. The bread was delicious. And the staff was very nice. read more

Wow, the seafood bisque was good! It's a creamy broth with tomato and includes north western seafood - Alaskan cod, salmon, and Oregon shrimp. We only wanted to sample some soup before we got some fish and chips in Pike Place so we got the smallest size 8 oz. It came with a piece of sourdough bread and oyster crackers. We enjoyed the dish and would not hesitate to come back! Hot tip: while we wanted to sit and eat the soup, the line for indoor eating was waaaaay too long. Turns out the same soup is available to go at the back of the store. We stopped by, got their QR code, placed our order online and got the soup in 5 mins. I'll suggest that's the best way to do this! read more

Creamy delicious warm chowders with plenty of different seafood options. Perfect for the cold weather. Best bang for your buck is get the 4 samples $19.99 because you get to try all 4 flavors. Better deal than getting two orders of 12oz. We ordered the oysters and crab chowder, it was made in the manhattan's style broth, but little bit disappointed there were barely any crab or oysters in our chowders. Other than that it was tasty but wish there were some oysters or crab in it. read more

I was advised that this is a must-try when visiting Seattle. After reading the Yelp reviews, we decided to go to the Downtown location to avoid the long lines at Pike Place Market. This location is located on the 4th floor of Pacific Place Mall. Parking is kind of pricey so if you can walk here that would be best. There was no line when we got there and the service is fast and friendly. I got the New England Clam Chowder and was so glad I did. It's the best clam chowder I've ever had! The soup is served with a slice of bread. If they ever partnered with Boudin for their sourdough bread, that would be the best combo ever! read more

When in Seattle, I always have to visit Pike Place! They really have the best clam chowder! Worth the wait if there's a line. I stopped in with a friend on a Sat night and the line wasn't too bad.

We ordered the sampler set to share. I thought the sampler option was a great way to try more of their chowders, if you are going in with someone. And I feel like it might even be cheaper per oz than ordering some of the chowders individually. We ended up getting two New England Clam Chowder, a Seafood Bisque and a Market Chowder. All the chowders were extremely creamy and thick, with lots of great little seafood pieces in each one. It went great on a cold rainy day. I think overall I prefer the Market Chowder. read more

This is always a spot I visit when I'm in the Seattle area. I got the sampler which had clam chowder, smoked salmon chowder and two I can't remember at this time. It's about $20 for four cups with two pieces of sourdough bread. The chowder I got was little greasier than usual but still packs a good amount of flavor. My favorite would be the smoked salmon one, it was creamy and had that distinct flavor. I didn't realize they had some happy hour specials when we were there. I'd still be coming back read more

Great place in Pike's market and in the Pacific mall. Loved the creamy chowder Very busy but the line goes fast. Limited seating read more

*No highchair available* Located the 4th floor of Pacific Place Mall (right next to Ding Tai Fung), this place is a good alternative to the Pike Place location, especially on a cold day. People working there are nice. We were told right away that there are only 4 different type of chowder (more options at Pike Place). The rest of the menu seems similar. We got the Chowder sampler with New England Clam Chowder, Manhattan Clam Chowder, Salmon Chowder and Seafood Bisque. To my surprise, favorite was the Seafood Bisque. Fish & Chips was a bit oil, fried Calamari was decent. read more
