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