I'm glad that I'm in on the secret :)
This spot is a new favorite of mine. The congees are so cozy and comforting, and creative! I've come back for the Tom Yum one a few times now. The proteins are generous, service is fast, and extras are delightful (I recommend the teas).
Casual vibe (bus your own tables), indoor and outdoor seating, day time hours. The location is right by Shilshole marina and Golden Gardens. Great meal to pair with a walk around the area.

My partner and I went in for lunch and unfortunately something happened in their computer system and our numbers were not called for 40 minutes. We went to the front and let them know what had happened. Long story short, our orders were accidentally deleted and they completely comped our meal which is exactly what I would expect from a customer service standpoint and the food was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend the kimchi and beef bowl and we will be back

Secret Congee in Seattle is a popular spot for authentic and delicious congee. The restaurant offers hearty dishes like the classic chicken congee, which is a must-try, with the option to add spicy tom yum shrimp or substitute shrimp for crab. The tom yum shrimp congee with crispy fried dough is highly recommended. The atmosphere is cozy, with outdoor seating and heaters making it a comfortable place to enjoy a quiet breakfast or brunch. Despite its small size and limited seating, the food is served quickly and is very satisfying.
The food at Secret Congee is truly incredible, including special options like the Hokkaido scallops congee, which are fresh and firm. The restaurant’s unique broths and flavorful toppings set each dish apart, especially the wild boar and Chinese black olive congee, which is intentionally spicy and a little salty—perfect for mixing to your taste. The green tea adds a calming touch, enhancing the overall experience. This hidden gem in Ballard tends to be busy, but the quality and comforting flavors make it worth the wait. Overall, it is a great place for comforting, restorative congee in a cozy setting.
