I recommend this place if you are going to visit pikes market. I ordered the new england clam chowder and this is so tasty and creamy( 5 ). The only thing I dont like is the dining space ( 2 ). It's so tiny and its hard to enjoy my food because I'm kinda rushing to finish my soup so other customers can seat and eat. Oh well tiny space indeed in seattle pikes market. But you guys should try it read more

Pike Place Chowder - Pacific Place - New England Clam Chowder Sourdough Bread Bowl - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place has been on my list since arriving to Seattle and I finally tried it before I move there is always a line but today the line was short so decided to try it! I got the claim chowder in a bread bowl and it was delicious! Perfect for the rainy weather! The chowder was creamy and delicious! The bread was warm and so good! Worth it to check out when you're in Seattle! read more

Absolutely! Creamy, lots of clams, seasoned beautifully but of course I always like more pepper! Great ambiance. Fresh crackers! Great time!

Piping hot and delicious! This place is quite small so it's a little difficult to find seating, but people usually come and go. The line was long but moved quick. We ordered our chowders in bread bowls. My only negative comment is that it wish it was a little thicker and creamier on the broth. read more

Yummy! There was a line wrapped around the alley which gives you a hint of how good it was. I'm sad that we weren't able to sit and eat there because there isn't enough tables/seating. We weren't too hungry so, we got the Connecticut-Style Lobster Roll 1/4 lb and the daily market chowder (Lobster/Crab Chowder. Note- it was $45 for both of these items. Both really yummy. The staff was really nice and the line moved really quickly. read more

Finally got to try the ICONIC Pike Place Chowder! We visited their location in Pacific Place to skip the crowds over at Pike Place Market, which was a good decision as it wasn't busy at all. We tried their Chowder Sampler, which includes four 5-ounce servings of their award-winning chowders. We tried the classic New England, seafood bisque, and market chowder (skipped out on the manhattan style since it didn't sound like something we'd enjoy!) The New England Clam Chowder was as good as they say!! There's a reason it's the "most popular dish in America." It was generously filled with clams and bacon, and all of the herbs and spices in it were incredibly flavorful too. Ask for extra oyster crackers to add some more texture! The Seafood Bisque is a tomato-based chowder, and includes Pacific Cod, Northwest Salmon, Oregon Bay Shrimp, and basil. We found that the sourdough bread they give tasted best with this soup. I'd give it a 4/5! The Market Chowder tasted similar to the New England, except with more seafood items. I didn't find it as flavorful as the the New England, but I did enjoy it more than the Seafood Bisque. Check in on Yelp to get an extra $1 off your Chowder Sampler! read more

Great chowder but tables were scarce. It rained cats and dogs the day we visited and we couldn't find seating. I would recommend take out and bringing it to your car to stay dry. read more

Pretty good chowder. We tried the small New England and Manhattan styles. They had plenty of clams and fresh ingredients. It's good quality and pretty tasty but way overpriced. It's good for tourists and people who don't have good chowder regularly. I recommend going to this location rather than the one at like place that had over 20 people in line. It's good for a tourist or quick meal but I personally wouldn't go back. If I had to wait in that long line, it would have been disappointing. read more

Ordered: - New England Clam Chowder ($12.95)-- best chowder I ever had. Rich, creamy and best of all, no sand. - Seafood Bisque ($12.95)-- salty. - Crab, Oyster & Chorizo Chowder ($12.95)-- delicious but slightly salty. - Fresh Lemonade ($3.95) - Fresh Strawberry Lemonade ($3.95) Note: Make sure you have the food in your hand before sitting down at a table. Staff will ask you to leave the table if you don't. Understandable. read more

Pike Place Chowder - Pacific Place - 07-29-22 - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

So I had no idea there were 2 locations and this one is NOT inside Pike's. Anyhow, I ordered online and didn't realize so I had to have my husband drop me off while I ran into this mall to get my order. The chowder was good we ordered the seafood chowder and the clam chowder and the clam was definitely the stand out. Now is this the best chowder I've ever had? Being that I'm a native San Franciscan I'd have to say no because I've had many a chowders in SF and in the Monterey area. However of all the chowders I've ever had this does rate rather high like maybe within the top 3 or so. It's very rich and flavorful which I loved. Also the lady helping me with my order pick up was nice and friendly. Over all, I'd go here if I were in the area but likely I'd go to the Pike location as this was a little out of the way. read more

Don't get the hype. Maybe people have never had quality chowder from the north east? I'm from an area where chowder flights, and seasonal chowder based on what was caught the morning off to be the chowder of the day. The price of $34 for a tiny 6-8oz for 3 is outrageous. And I pay $22 for 16oz for blue ribbon lobster bisque where I'm from because it's ribbon worthy. The seafood chowder, clam chowder and salmon chowder we got was sorely disappointing considering what I've grown up eating. I'm glad we got chowder here and didn't wait in-line in the sun and heat at Pike Place locations. Clam chowder lacked the sweet clam flavor. Salmon chowder was sweet in a unpleasant way and the seafood chowder was forgettable. Come to New England, we will show you what a amazing chowder is supposed to be. And we won't charge you $34 for 18oz of soup. read more

First stop in Seattle (beyond seeing my friend who got me into Yelping) was to stop by Pike Place chowder. However, this location here was a bit different than the OG spot down the street at the Pike Place market. I believe that has a bit more of the original ambiance and everything, but if you're nearby I would say this place is just as good just because you don't have to deal with the crowd. Unless, you're sort of into that. I ordered a NE clam chowder, something that this place is known for and is famous as well. I thought it was pretty great. Was it better than something from NE? I don't think so, but I think this place is very good considering its location. If you want a good bowl of hearty clam chowder, Pike Place should definitely be on your list to try out if you're in town. This location is located on the top floor of the mall, but there was plenty of seating and I would say it's more directed at serving workplaces during lunch hour rush and also probably tourists that want to skip the crowd. read more

We went on a Saturday afternoon. It is VERY busy in the whole area. Parking was expensive and not easy to get. The market area is mobbed with people. You actually have to leave the market and cross the street to go down an alley where Pike Place Chowder is located. We put Google maps on walking directions and found it easily that way, but I don't know if I would have figured it out otherwise. There was a line down the alleyway to order, but the line moved pretty quickly. There are very few tables available and not a lot of options to sit nearby, but we were fortunate to be there just as a table of people was leaving. The ordering was fast and friendly and they serve you immediately. 5/5 - Scallop Chowder: My first time having a scallop chowder and it was delicious! 5/5 - Clam Chowder: We assumed that this would be the same chowder as the scallop one but with clams instead. Wrong! The bacon flavor really comes out and makes this distinctive. Amazing. 3/5 - Lobster Roll: Pretty good, but definitely not worth $36 1/5 - Seafood Bisque: Not a fan. read more

In the alley ways of Pike Place, this small restaurant has very limited seating so it's best to plan on takeout. The restaurant has takeout down to a science so the line moved swiftly. I ordered the Connecticut Style Crab Roll but have some reservations. While outside the bread had some crunch to it the inside of the roll was not toasted, the butter was all on one half of the sandwich. I may have been more forgiving but the sandwich cost me $35 - was not worth it. What I did taste and loved were their classic clam chowder and their oyster/crab chowder. Was very tasty but light on the oysters and crab. We couldn't find parking so highly recommend walking our driver drop off. read more

The first time I had Pike Place Chowder was at Pikes market many years ago and since then they have expanded to the downtown mall area in Seattle. The same 5 star best clam chowder I've ever had, in my opinion, is at a mall without the long wait at Pikes market. On this trip I ordered the fried prawns with a small cup of chowder. You know how I feel about the chowder, well the prawns are up there with the chowder! They were cooked to perfection! The mall itself is about 75% empty. There isn't anything there worth shopping for but thankfully the Pikes Chowder is still going strong. If you're craving the chowder and don't want to wait in the long lines at the Market this is the place to go, just don't forget to try the prawns, they're that good! read more

Of course when in Seattle, we had to stop by pike place. When at pike place, of course we had to get pike place chowder! This branch of pike place chowder is actually located on the top floor of a pretty quiet mall, so there was no wait and plenty of seats. We got the Manhattan chowder and New England chowder. From the first spoonful, I could see why their New England chowder was an award-winner. The flavors were so balanced, and no one herb dominated. It was thick and smooth and not too salty. Incredible! Unfortunately the Manhattan chowder fell short of my expectations. It was saltier than the ocean the seafood came from. It honestly tasted like grocery market soup. Also I wish the sourdough was toasted instead of served lukewarm in a bag. We also got the fish and chips with cod. It was freshly fried and served with an excellent tartar sauce that was light but flavorful, and cut through the greasy fried taste nicely. I was really impressed by how tender the cod was, since it's easy to overcook and become tough. The chips too were fried and spiced to perfection. Mealy, steaming hot insides and a crisp exterior. The Manhattan chowder was three stars but the New England chowder and fish and chips were five, so I ended up giving it a four. If you come here, do yourself a favor and avoid the Manhattan chowder! I'd love to come back and try the seafood bisque. read more

The New England clam chowder is the best! I liked how creamy the soup was and it had a lot of toppings in it. I thought the sour dough bread it came with tasted okay, but the soup is the star of the meal. I also really like their fries. It was the right amount of crispiness was just right and the seasoning they put on them is really good, but I did wish they put a bit more on it. Overall, it was a really good meal. read more

A good place to come for chowder or seafood chowder. I love New England clam chowder and this time I had the seafood chowder. Good but not as good as the clam chowder in my option. Also had the two piece cod and chips and was very fluffy batter and not too greasy and tarted sauce was good. The lobster rolls are really good just a bit small for the price. read more

Had the fisherman's platter, which consisted of fried clams, three fried oysters, three fried jumbo shrimp, fried cod, and fried salmon. I was hungry, and it was a large amount of food. The shrimp were just right, flavorful. I am not crazy about fried oysters, which to me sometimes have a metallic aftertaste. These were flavorful, and did not have that aftertaste. These cod was very good. I am not crazy about fried salmon - I think it's the most off-putting way to prepare salmon. Served with fries, which were very good. read more

We order the seared scallop chowder and market chowder of the day (lobster,shrimp and clams with corn) it was really good. The line was long but it actually went pretty quick. Seats, of course were very limited but we actually lucked out and got a seat. The sourdough bread was also as good. read more

The reason why I gave this place a super high score is that, it is only a few min away from Pike's Market and you can actually get a seat and avoid all the tourist & enjoy the food. Maybe as a Canadian, we have traditional poutine, hence I've ordered the chowder fries for a twist. Not bad not bad. A regular bowl of soup is $9, chowder fries is only an extra dollar. Why not?? For a hot summer day, it is not a bad option. read more

Been meaning to come try their chowder, finally got the chance and timing right as they have a Great happy hour deal from 4-6pm! They are located on the 4th level next to Din Tai Fung! Got the seafood chowder, not sure if it's suppose to be this salty but it was extremely salty to the point I was bloated all day! Also got the one piece cod fish and chips!

Yes, the Pike Place Market location is a great tourist destination and also great if you're already there, but this location is very nice to get away from the crowds while still getting the same quality of Chowder. - PARKING - Pretty sure there's a mall parking garage, but our hotel was just a few blocks away so we walked here! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - It's located in a mall, a few floors up. There's a handful of tables and seats, and definitely more spacious compared to the Pike Place Market location. Service wasn't exactly friendly, but they get the food out to you quickly. - FOOD - New England Chowder: The classic, tried and true Chowder. Really great flavor, glad they serve some Sourdough Bread on the side. Ask for the crackers/oyster crackers! Seafood Bisque: This was my personal favorite from the first time I came to Seattle, and stays my favorite now. I do remember when we got the Chowder Sampler, these two Chowders were definitely my favorite. - OVERALL - If you don't mind walking a few blocks away from Pike Place Market and would prefer a less crowded area, definitely check this location out. Just as good! Seafood Bisque is my favorite, but you definitely need to try the original as a baseline. read more

We left pikes market area to try this one because we were told it's was more of a sit down establishment. Was a little disappointed when we got there to see it was in a mall which we had to lap around over and over again to the 4th floor because every other escalator was broken. Tip: take the elevator. However the food was worth the hike! My mouth is watering now thinking about it. I got the 2 piece cod with the claim chowder. The soup was tasty with fresh ingredients. The fish was perfectly fried with nice flaky white pieces of cod. The fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned to my liking as well! 10/10 and I'd come again!! read more

Wow! Get the lobster roll and the England clam chowder! Oh, and the combo comes with a drink. Top floor of the Pacific Place.

If you're looking for some chowder, this place won't disappoint! I got the 4-cup sampler and it came with 2 pieces of sourdough bread. They all had a unique taste that made each chowder different. I'm not sure if they switch out the chowders as I'm not a local. The ambiance felt like a small take out diner. It's an order and seat yourself place in the mall. When we went, there was a good amount of seating but I can see it running out if it gets packed. read more

So extremely flavorful, thick and creamy- super crave worthy soup. The service was fast and easy- ordered online and was quick pick up.

Arguably the only place I wanted to try when I came to Seattle was Pike Place chowder. Upon arrival on a Monday morning, this place was packed! The line was roughly 40 minutes long. I waited in line and got an order of the original clam chowder as well as a lobster roll. Overall, the clam chowder was good but the entire mark up of price is just a little too ridiculous for me. They charge you $30 for half of a lobster roll that's the size of a White Castle burger. Don't get me wrong, the roll is good but it wasn't $30 good. For me, the price of a food item is a variable that reflects the overall review. I feel as if this company has let their long lines get to their heads and have definitely overpriced all of their menu items. Not to mention, Clam Chowder bowls are $20 bucks. read more
