Pike Place Chowder

This was the first location I went to before the main location on Post Alley. We just finished eating lunch at Din Tai Fung and I wanted to try this place out since it was next door. I did the 4 cup sampler with New England clam chowder, seafood bisque, Manhattan style chowder, and market chowder. They were all very tasty but my two favorites are New England and seafood bisque. I wished they had more bread though, tastes wonderful with the soups. Bread was soft and fresh. Prices are have gone up but yolo if you’re here on vacation. Plenty of seating.

Lobster roll was average a bit overpriced and dry, what I really like its a chowder flight. 4 different mini soups. They also give sourdough bread. My favorite is classic new England clam chowder and seafood bisque. Also it's a good deal to take mini 4 soups instead of 1. They also have a happy hour and you can get better deal.

Had the sampler because we couldn’t decide. The Boston clam chowder was perfectly creamy with clams and bacon was my favorite. The seafood bisque was buttery and rich. Delicious but eating a whole bowl would have been challenging with how creamy and rich it was. The Manhattan clam chowder was the first time I’ve had it and I was pleasantly surprised. A great option if you like tomato based broths or can’t handle cream based soups. The smoked salmon chowder was my least favorite but still very good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back! Also-this was the Pacific Place location which was a great alternative to the Post Alley location as there were no line ups, indoor location with seating (great on our rainy day visit), and also open later.

Chowder is consistently good. This menu in this location varies slightly from the original location as this outlet offers cobos of fish and chips and a more limited chowder menu. Service is relatively quick and the chowder is always delicious. I prefer this outlet to the original one as this has more seating areas and the wait times aren’t as long. Would recommend coming here with friends and if you just want to try the core original chowders.
