Pidgin Cooperative Restaurant & Bottle Shop

I came with a group of four, and the pork lechon special we had was our tables favorite, though every dish — the gyofun fries, the fried chicken, the futsu squash, the chili crisp noodles — was beautifully plated and full of complex, balanced flavor. The butter mochi was a highlight, as well. They have a great selection of beer and wine, as well as a variety of n/an options. I didn’t have a chance to look closely, but the options they had for sale in their bottle shop area looked great. The atmosphere is casual but cozy, even with such a large open space, and the service was professional and quick. This was my first time visiting Pidgin but I’ll for sure be going back soon!

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, the charred cabbage melted in our mouths, and the ramen special for the night was so flavorful and fresh. The service was amazing and friendly, and the vibe was so fun.

Phenomenal food, service and vibes!! The food is SO good and in such a beautiful, bright space that makes you just want to hang out. Ordered the double smash burger, fries and chili crisp noodles. Cannot wait to come back!

I’ve been enjoying PIDGIN Cooperative’s food at the farmers market for several years, and it’s exciting to see them now with a brick-and-mortar spot at the Fishermans terminal. The setup is stellar, the vibe is great, and the food is just as good as ever. I had the fried chicken sandwich with fries and a beer — it was delicious and reminded me a lot of what they were cooking up at Fair Isle Brewery. I’m really looking forward to when they expand the menu to include their ramen with homemade noodles. Cool local beers on tap and even a take-home cider selection for my wife make it an all-around win.

This place is a gem!!! I've stopped in for lunch here a few times, but tonight was my first time coming here for their dinner offerings. Did not disappoint!! I ordered the vegetarian ramen and it was perfect. Every ingredient was thoughtful & fresh, the flavors were deep and balanced, and the presentation was beautiful! We really enjoyed our dinner, and the experience overall. Thank you Pidgin co-op for an amazing dinner, and to Erica for the awesome bar-top service! Would also strongly recommend the fried chicken sandwich and the salad from their lunch menu (my usual go-tos!!!). Will definitely be coming back!!

One of the most unique restaurants in Seattle. Everything on the menu is a refreshing twist on often very familiar dishes and a total banger. They do. Not. Miss. Looking forward to seeing how high this place goes

Pidgin Cooperative is a dining destination not to be missed. Their menu is elegant and sophisticated enough to impress on a date night, while also being an accessible and fun spot for a casual family dinner. This is not an easy balance to strike, but the folks at Pidgin seem to do it effortlessly. The beautifully decorated space set amongst the glistening dock of the fishermen’s terminal made the entire experience absolutely worth the trek to Magnolia from my south end neighborhood. Every nook and cranny seems to have been constructed with care and intention. Be sure to scoop up a unique wine from their extensive bottle shop. There are many interesting options from which to choose. It is obvious that a lot of love has gone into this effort- the food, the decor and the vibrant team of very hardworking folks, who are not just employees but co-owners, makes this an unforgettable experience, bottom to top. Thank you, Pidgin Cooperative!

We enjoyed an amazing meal with a great beer selection & friendly service in this beautiful bright space! We order the silken tofu, fried chicken, & fries. The ramen coming out of the kitchen looked amazing! Every dish was unique & perfect & I cannot wait to try more of the menu!

Met a friend here for lunch. We were looking for something different, and the reviews looked promising. They seem to be in a soft opening, so maybe things will change, but I can't say I was as wowed as the other reviewers, which is what prompted me to write my review. I got a burger that had decent flavor and while I know it is a smash burger the patty was pretty small. Good, but didn't overly impress me and I don't think it was quite worth the price for the tiny patty size, plus the fries had to be ordered separately, but they were tasty. My friend got the fish and chips; they liked it but again, nothing that special. The staff was friendly but we had to order at the counter - the prices were more aligned with a table service restaurant, which this place isn't quite. I might consider coming here again and trying something different when they are more established, or maybe it was just what we ordered, but as they are we found it a good restaurant, but not quite as impressive as the other reviewers felt it was.

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!

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!

We were attending the annual Fisherman's Terminal festival this past weekend and decided to grab a beer at the Highliner Public House when to my very happy surprise ... It's now the brick and mortar location of one of my favorite popup restaurants in Seattle: Pidgin Cooperative. The Highliner was a very well established and well loved local establishment and I'm thrilled that this talented group of food people have taken over the space. Turns out that the owners of the Highliner, John and Cecile, decided to retire after 12 years at the helm--They were part of a 37-year run spanning mulitple owners. Enter Pidgin. I can't say enough about how good their food is ... Their soft opening is this week, give them a try, welcome them to our beautiful Magnolia neighborhood, and be thankful that this space remains a restaurant owned by passionate LOCALS.

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.

Went for my birthday dinner and was so impressed! The salmon was heavenly, but everything we order was great!

A friend and I stopped here on a Saturday to check it out. Upon entering we noticed the great patio seating which will be great in nicer weather. The restaurant was buzzing with families and friends at the tables. We chose to sit at the bar near the taps. The beer and cider selection was much more interesting than your typical offerings, with mostly small producers. We ordered the plate lunch with choice of protein and salad. The marinated chicken was delicious and enough for two to share. Two scoops of rice and green salad topped it off. I'm so glad we also added a scoop of their Mac salad because it was the best I've ever had! It looked like the ramen was popular here and I look forward to trying it next time.

The food and staff are absolutely amazing! Very unique dishes you can't find anywhere else, fresh ingredients and full of flavor! It's very clean, staff are very friendly, and great variety of drinks! Can't wait to come back to try more of their dishes.

I had lunch with my family. Had such a great time the menu items were crafted with care and very unique flavors. Something on menu for daughter in law that couldn't have dairy as well as gluten free options. A great find wonderful offerings great service at a very affordable price. I will definitely be back.
