"We understand that a multi-hour wait for a table compounded with a lot of rain is not ideal. But it’s worth the trouble at Kedai Makan, where you’ll end up with delicious Malaysian noodles, rice, and fried chicken. The comforting food here is spiced perfectly and pairs well with their tropical island cocktails - especially the mushroom pan mee." - aimee rizzo
"Tasty Malaysian food located right next to one of the best bars on the Hill. Always a line and always worth it. Must tries: Nasi Goreng (Malaysian fried rice, kecap manis, tofu, sprouts, chili, runny egg, cucumber) and the Ramly Burger!" - Hum Creative
"What started as a food stall in markets around town expanded into two brick-and-mortar restaurants — one in Capitol Hill and one in Belltown. Kedai Mekan brings the spicy, tangy, and herbaceous flavors of Malaysia to life with dishes like kerabu timun nanas (a cucumber pineapple salad with Thai basil and the chili-centric sambal belacan) and the laksa lemak (noodles in coconut curry broth with scallions, spices, and sprouts). The menu reflects the fusion of cultures in Malaysian cuisine down to the cocktail list, which features libations infused with regional ingredients like the lychee martini and the passionfruit Old Fashioned." - Alicia Erickson
"The well-known local Malaysian restaurant now has another location in Belltown. Its most recent Capitol Hill 2.0 version isn’t as good as the first incarnation on the Hill, which was once one of the highest-rated spots on our site. But here's to hoping their foray into another neighborhood is an improvement. We recently checked out Kedai Makan. Read our first thoughts here. " - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo
"Capitol Hill’s once-popular Malaysian restaurant opened a second location in Belltown after its ownership change. But there’s no need to go out of your way to seek it out. The roti jala is fine, but the accompanying chickpea curry is way too watery to be scooped up. And the rusuk kedai—meaty baby back ribs—look more seasoned than they taste. The upside is grabbing a table or spacious booth is pretty easy during the week, and smaller plates like the summery and spicy kerabu timun nanas salad work. That makes it an okay spot to go with a group for a quick meal if you’re already in the neighborhood. However, those looking for the showstopping Kedai of yesteryear will be disappointed." - Kayla Sager-Riley
