    A must visit when in Seattle. The upstairs floor always seems to be crowded no matter what. Though…read moreyou can escape the crowds somewhat by going to the back patio area overlooking Elliott Bay, or going to the lower 2 floors. The downstairs floors have some decent non-food and non-fish stores. Like i.e. there was a bookstore down there, and another selling old music tour and political posters. The music posters were the most interesting things I saw in that store. Pike Place is definitely worth a stop despite the crowds.

    Seattle's world-famous Pike Place Market is one of the Emerald City's most popular tourist traps,…read moreand for good reason. The sprawling, multi-level marketplace dates back to 1907 and remains one of the oldest, continually operating farmers markets in America. It's narrow arcades are home to dozens of stalls selling everything from candy and cannolis to flowers and jewelry. The main attraction, of course, is the fresh seafood, which arrives every morning from boats trolling nearby Puget Sound. At peak hours, hundreds of tourists crowd around the Pike Place Fish Market, near Pike Place's main entrance, to watch fishmongers toss Salmon, Halibut, Cod and other customer selections from the market floor to the sales counter to be filleted and wrapped. Onlookers clap and cheer as the fish fly through the air, while the mongers politely remind the crowd that they're operating a working seafood market, not a circus. When you're done watching dudes toss fish, take some an hour or two to explore the rest of this massive marketplace. Pike Place has six levels of shops, restaurants, brewpubs and produce stalls across two large buildings that are bisected by a roomy pedestrian plaza with outdoor tables for enjoying a bite when the weather cooperates. The market gets oppressively crowded on weekends, so go early if you can. There are multiple parking decks at the complex and near the waterfront, but if Uber is an option, you'll save the stress of finding a spot. No visit to Seattle is complete without a visit to Pike Place Market. Plan on spending half a day here if you want the full experience, but I found a couple hours to be enough for me. While you're in the area, walk a couple blocks over to Seattle's fabulous waterfront and stroll the pedestrian plaza for some amazing views of Puget Sound. The city's new Overlook Walk pedestrian bridge lets you move between the two without crossing busy Alaskan Way, and makes this area of downtown an incredible destination for tourists and locals alike.

The Homie and I decided to check them out in the Ballard/Shilshoe area on a warm summer evening (7/6/24). I was able to score a parking spot out front of Secret Congee which is sheer luck with Ray's and Un Bien nearby. I placed an order for the BBQ set for 2 ($65) which included grilled Thai sausage, grilled whole/halved poussin chicken, grilled 12oz skirt steak over special Thai charcoal which imparted a distinct flavor. Our container also was accompanied with spicy clam dip, sticky rice, tamarind BBQ sauce, fresh herbs, and a quarter wedge of fresh cabbage. Generous servings for two! Delicious flavors, cool breeze dining al fresco, great convo with the owners, and even a special treat of Thai Tea Tres Leches cake from San Bartolo Bakeshop. It was nice to see others dining onsite or placing orders as takeout. Passersby from the neighborhood or from visiting nearby Golden Gardens were pausing for brief convos and aromatic scents. Yes, we started the day up north at our fave BBQ in Marysville. Wrapped up a pleasant, albeit toasty evening, by checking out Siam BBQ. This brother duo has the winning formula for tasty dining spots. Come support local, indie, and family run. Great addition to the summer pop up scene!

    I cannot recommend this place. The food was good but woefully overpriced for the quantity. What's…read moreeven worse is that the person who was helping me had such poor English that I thought I was getting four sausage links, not one! I feel borderline scammed.
