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.
