MAKfam represents the essence of America’s new Asian culinary movement by reimagining traditional family-inspired Cantonese recipes through a modern perspective. Husband-and-wife team Chef Kenneth Wan and Doris Yuen first got their start through a series of street market-style pop-ups in Jersey City, New Jersey, and Queens, New York, before opening in Denver’s Avanti Food & Beverage in 2019 as Meta Asian Kitchen.
Today, MAKfam aims to redefine the limitations of Asian fare with contemporary dishes like their málà mozzarella sticks and Sichuan chicken wings, while also paying homage to their traditional roots with classics like pork belly bao buns, chicken-chive-ginger dumplings, and sizzling spicy noodles, with an upcoming location under the original Meta Asian Kitchen banner within Denver’s Honor Farm, as well as an upcoming brick and mortar under the rebranded MAKfam moniker at 39 W 1st Avenue in Denver.
