Kedai Makan is a Malaysian restaurant on Seattle's Capitol Hill, in the U.S. state of Washington. [1] [2]

Contents

It was originally owned by Kevin Burzell and Alysson Wilson, [3] [4] who opened the first brick-and-mortar location in 2013 after starting as a pop-up. Kedai Makan closed in October 2022, but has since reopened under new ownership, and is now planning to open a second location in Belltown. [5]

Description

The Malaysian restaurant Kedai Makan operates on Seattle's Capitol Hill. Its menu has included ayam goreng masala, chili pan mee, duck noodles, nasi goreng belacan, nasi lemak, [6] pho, [7] and sarawak laksa. [8] [9] [10] The restaurant has also served a burger, [11] fried frog legs, [12] Malaccan-style Hainanese chicken, [13] pickled veggies, roti with lentil curry, "sweet-spicy" tofu, [14] and tripe. [15] The Ngow Lam Fan has noodles with stewed beef, five spice, beef ball, peanuts, and mustard greens. [16]

History

Initially a pop-up restaurant, [17] [18] the original brick-and-mortar location opened in 2013. [19] [20] [21] It took over the space previously occupied by Taco Gringos on Olive Way [22] in January, [23] [24] with next door "sibling" dive bar Montana Bar (or simply Montana). [25] It continued to offer murtabak (stuffed pancake) and a line of bottled sauces at the Capitol Hill Farmers Market, as of 2014. [26]

Kedai Makan expanded from a take-out operation to a full service establishment during 2015. [27] [28] [29] The restaurant closed in October 2022, [30] [31] but has since reopened under new ownership. [32] [33]

Kedai Makan has also hosted pop-ups, such as the German business Dackel in 2013–2014. [34]

As of 2024, Kedai Makan plans to open a second location at 2234 1st Avenue in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood. [5]

Reception

Eater Seattle included Kedai Makan in 2014 lists of the city's 38 "essential" restaurants. [24] [35] In 2016, Providence Cicero of The Seattle Times gave the restaurant a three-star rating, [36] [37] [38] and The Stranger 's Angela Garbes complimented the owners, saying their "affection for and study of Malaysian food is evident in the restaurant's complex, boldly flavored dishes". [39]
