Great Bay at the Commonwealth Hotel in Kenmore Square has delicious chowder with a unique presentation - the waitstaff presents you with a wide, shallow bowl containing the clams & potatoes, then pours the creamy broth from a teapot. The rest of the menu is good, too - but pricey:

Also, Legal Seafood really can't be beat: http://www.legalseafoods.com

Is No Name still open? They made great clam or seafood chowder. Another vote for Legal, too.

I have no quibble with any of the other comments but - believe it or not - the Union Oyster House has absolutely wonderful clam chowder even though it's considered a "tourist attraction" because of its proximity to Faneuil Hall.
You're probably going to take your 10 year old to Faneuil Hall anyway (I took mine many times, and she's 30 these days) and we always stopped at Union for a bowl of chowdah.

Union Oyster House was just featured in a Boston Globe article about health code violations. Just sayin'

Health Code, shmealth code. They've been there forever. Yes, it's touristy, but you have to go there if you're in Boston. Then you can stroll over to the North End and there lots of fun and calories to be enjoyed there.
