    Asparagus with a creamy sauce made of tofu
    Alan D.

    This place has such good food that I just want to eat here every week. You go inside and order at a counter, and can then sit indoors or outdoor on their patio. They have a cute bottle shop for wine where you can buy some wine for your table. Dogs are welcomed and there are water dishes on the patio for them. Our server was very knowledgeable about the food and talked to us about the menu. She didn't take our order, you place that inside, but she did talk to us about the menu.

    Mochi bread

    Heard a lot of great things about this place so I was excited to try it out! Came on a Saturday at noon and it was mostly empty although more people started coming in later. The vibe is pretty chill and there's a variety of beer and drinks. We tried fried chicken sandwich, chili noodle, charred cabbage, and mochi bread for dessert. Our favorites were definitely the chili noodle and butter mochi bread. The noodle is perfectly umami with thick peanut butter sauce and chili oil - don't forget to add a fried egg on top! The chia seed and jam with mochi bread was really good too - the bread itself was warm and chewy. The charred cabbage was fine and the fried chicken sandwich was also ok but we thought it was quite overpriced for the size of the sandwich. I did like the sauce on the chicken, but some pieces of chicken felt gamey. The service was a bit slow even though there weren't that many people. I think I would probably come back for the chili noodles though.

    Stopped by for a late lunch. There is a large 2 hour free parking lot. There is a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. Staff were super friendly. The restaurant seemed clean. My partner and I ordered the fish and chips and Loco Moco specials. They also a large drink selection of taps and bottles. Food was served promptly and super tasty. Loved the Loco Moco and the French fries. Need to come back to try the burger and chicken sandwich.

    I have been wanting to try this place for the last few months, after seeing a recent article on this place and hearing about the owner's story. We ate here on a Saturday afternoon around 3pm, and the restaurant was fairly empty given the odd time. The restaurant itself is decorated well and was a nice overall environment. It is quick-serve style, so you order at the counter and then they bring the food to your table. The staff we interacted were all friendly. The menu has a lot of interesting options which I appreciated. We had the mayu mac salad, animal ramen and super smash burger. The mac salad was my favorite and had great flavor. The ramen and the burger were good, and cooked well, but the flavors didn't blow me away. I definitely want to go back and try more items on the menu, but overall this is a decent choice for a casual meal if you are around the Magnolia/Interbay area.

    I'm late to the party with their devoted following from their stints at farmers markets, pop ups, special events, and catering. However, I'm always happy to check out an indie gone brick and mortar, especially with a Hawaiian - Filipino background. I was able to stop in since I was nearby. Conveniently did a diagonal from Queen Anne by SPU over to Interbay/Magnolia - Fisherman's Terminal to check out Pidgin Cooperative (10/18/25). They share a parking lot with other restaurants and retail sites, so note there is a two hour limit. Nice corner location with outdoor patio seating (perfect for warmer weather) and indoor seating - both table and counter. Big windows, high ceilings, wall murals, and interesting light fixtures welcome you as you enter. Nice warm welcome at the counter, helpful menu suggestions are provided too. I decided on their version of the Loco Moco. Stuck with water and sat at the counter facing the beer & cider taps. To my right was well stocked chill cases full of various bottles and cans and other merch to peruse while onsite. All are available for purchase. I enjoyed their lighter spin on the Loco Moco, but especially their version of mac salad. The black sesame seeds added a nice touch. I also enjoyed the accompanying pickled veg to cut through the richness. The main entree itself was a mound of steamed rice with a smashed burger patty on top with the requisite gravy and fried egg. I look forward to trying other menu items, if I'm back in the vicinity. Nice addition to the dining choices at Fisherman's Terminal!

    Loco Moco Lunch Plate

    Lovely little place on the docks, especially if you're looking for a yummy, no-fuss meal! You might already guess it from looking at the restaurant name, but this place serves up Filipino-Hawaiian food (and a few other Asian fusion dishes). I went during lunch and got the loco moco, and my friend got the chicken inasal. Both were delicious! As a Filipino myself, I can attest that the flavor of the inasal was on point. The one thing that could've been better was that the loco moco was advertised to come with longganisa, but I didn't really taste any of that flavor come through (to be honest, I'm not sure if there was any in it at all?). We also shared a butter mochi, which was decent! Yummy, satisfying meal after a morning outdoors walking. Plus the staff are so kind and polite!

    Ramen special
    Shaye V.

    Literally no notes on this establishments food options. We've been wanting to go here for a while and finally got to before the holidays hit! I'm not kidding when I say that everything was so delicious!!! The service was friendly and quick. We felt taken care of for sure. The ambiance gives co-op and community with the large family style tables to share along with individual tables and bar seating. I can't wait to be back. 10/10!

    Tucked away in Interbay, is Pidgin Cooperative. Tons of parking around outside of the restaurant. A very open and community driven space. Lots of large community style tables are great for large groups. You order at the counter, then the friendly staff will let you know which table is yours. For drinks, we ordered the Urban Family Guava Dawn Sour and Bellingham Raspberry Lemonade Cider. I loved the variety of local beers and ciders offered on tap. For food, we ordered Furikake Fries, Animal Ramen, Chicken Inasal, and Salmon Kinilaw. Everything was seasoned to perfection. My favorite dish was Animal Ramen. I loved all the thin noodles which were still chewy and the egg and radishes complemented the rest of the dish well. I felt that the timing of the food was a little off. I felt that my ramen was nice and hot, however, the other dishes, the Furikake Fries and Chicken Inasal we ordered were on the colder side. I wish they would have brought out the other dishes first instead waiting for everything to be done. If you're looking for a casual weekday or weeknight dinner, please check out Pidgin Cooperative. I truly appreciate what they are doing with their dishes. Can't wait to go back to try more dishes.

    Chili noodles
    Brooke P.

    New at Fisherman's Terminal! They went from a farmers market stall at the Magnolia Farmers Market to opening their own restaurant, and we finally got to try it! This Hawaiian spot seriously delivered Everything was SO good -- we loved the charred cabbage and the grilled beef short ribs. The mac salad was super fresh with black garlic, which gave it such a unique, elevated touch The chili crisp noodles were also amazing and super interesting -- almost a chocolatey, peanut flavor in the best way They're also known for their ramen, so I'll definitely be back to try that! What we got: * Mayu Mac Salad * House Kimchi * Charred Cabbage * Grilled Beef Short Rib * Chili Crisp Noodle

    Prawn special
    Alyshia N.

    Stopped her for lunch with some friends and wasn't sure what to get so I tried the garlic prawns they had on their specials board. It was suggested I add rice to the dish so I did and I'm glad I did because I'm thinking this was ment to be more of an appetizer. The service was quick and very friendly. They have really good root beer on tap as well. My dish came out substantially early compared to everyone else's which made it a little awkward. These prawns where supposed to be garlicky prawns but honestly they didn't taste seasoned at all. The rice was good and the squash puree had great flavor, though I don't think it was very cohesive. Unfortunately, for the price point and what I had I personally don't think I would go back, I left wishing I had gotten a sandwich from the deli a few doors down.

    wanted to like but the food lacked flavor and i unfortunately found a hair when i cut into my burger

    Charred cabbage
    Karrie M.

    One of the best new restaurants I've tried in Seattle this year. We tried four dishes and all of them were a 10/10 flavor! The salmon appetizer blew my mind, the mac salad was so different and unique, the charred cabbage melted in our mouths, and the ramen special for the night so flavorful, fresh, and comforting. The service was amazing and friendly, and the vibe so fun.

We tried the smoked salmon dip with chips, the fried chicken sandwich and the the black cod kasusuke. The crab rolls were sold out by the time we got there or we definitely would have tried those. The salmon dip was good, lots of dill, and the chips were crispy. The fried fish sandwich was light, which was nice for something fried, and the roll it was on was soft and warm. The black cod kasusuke was my favorite dish of the meal. The black cod was tender and fell apart, and it was seasoned so nice. It came with a spinach salad and rice which was also delicious. If I could give half stars, this would be pushing a 4.5. Nothing blew me away, but everything was fresh and enjoyable!

The hosts were great and flexible by means that we got here right before close and all that was left was wine and oysters from the adjacent restaurant but they let us relocate next door where they had more options in terms of food. So we ordered 2 dozen oysters (there was no advertised price), bottle of wine (62 bucks) clams, cheese, and another side dish, and a few beers. Food taste was great but very small portions for the money. I believe the steamed clams was like 30 something but barely a pound so we ordered another one. Thought the total bill for the 4 of us was going to be around $200 but was shocked to see a $510 dollar bill for some small apps and wine/beer. Turns out they up charged the oysters imho so was 120 for 2 dozen and automatically added 22% gratuity without ever disclosing any of this. We were still hungry and had to uber eat afterwards. We could have gone to Ruth Chris steak house for the price of 4. Our rental car also was smashed into off the street and window was missing as well as our son's back backpack. Very disappointing day . I seldom take the time to write up a review but this deserves disclosure to forewarn others that it is expensive

First off they are not shy about telling you about the spice of the offerings. People who follow them on instagram know that they're pretty clear of the ingredients of their dishes. I often sit at the counter in the La Marea area, they will often state that the dish is spicy.They go one step further with service and ask do you want all the dishes to come out at the same time or as they are finished being prepared. Service is always friendly and helpful. La Marea was my first experience with a more expanded mariscos experience.
