MAKfam

Chef Kenneth Wan grew up as a restaurant kid — his parents are from Hong Kong and opened a Chinese American joint after immigrating to the U.S. He and his wife, Doris Yuen, started slinging Hong Kong-style French toast in NYC before moving to Colorado and opening Meta Asian Kitchen inside Avanti in 2019. In October 2023, they introduced the next iteration and their first standalone brick-and-mortar, MAKfam, a fine-casual spot that’s become a fast favorite for Cantonese street food-inspired eats like deep-fried málà-spiced chicken wings and chicken-and-chive-filled Chinatown dumplings.
