What people say, in short
Most commenters recommend Ludi's on 2nd and Stewart, a Filipino breakfast spot near Pike Place Market, and many recommend its ube pancakes. Some single out its Filipino food, and one long-time regular says everything they have eaten there is delicious.

One calls the food solid but not spectacular, another doesn't see what the fuss is about, and one notes the ube pancakes are only served on weekends.
