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. In May 2024, the restaurant expanded to a second location in Belltown.[5][6]

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,[7] pho,[8] and sarawak laksa.[9][10][11] The restaurant has also served a burger,[12] fried frog legs,[13] Malaccan-style Hainanese chicken,[14] pickled veggies, roti with lentil curry, "sweet-spicy" tofu,[15] and tripe.[16] The Ngow Lam Fan has noodles with stewed beef, five spice, beef ball, peanuts, and mustard greens.[17]

History

Initially a pop-up restaurant,[18][19] the original brick-and-mortar location opened in 2013.[20][21][22] 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]

In May 2025, Kedai Makan opened a second location at 2234 1st Avenue in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood.[5]
