Kedai Makan grew into a full restaurant and bar from its humble beginnings as a food vendor. They pride themselves in being a Malaysian-inspired restaurant and do put their own twist on traditional dishes. Don’t miss out on their homemade sambal, which is a chili-ginger sauce.
Hours: 5 to 11 pm, Wednesday through Saturday; 5 to 10 pm, Sunday
Location: 1802 Bellevue Avenue, Seattle
Beetle Cafe

This unsuspecting spot seems more like a cafe than full restaurant, but trust us when we say to try one of their mains. The spot mainly serves Indonesian food but does have a few Asian-fusion eats. We recommend ordering the nasi goreng, Hainan chicken, and beef rendang.
Hours: 11 am to 9 pm, Monday to Friday; 12 to 5 pm Sunday
Location: 4334 University Way NE, Seattle
Phone: 206-547-0977

With chicken satay, fried rice, Javanese noodles, and lumpia, you may struggle with which to pick when it’s your turn at the ordering window. Luckily for you, this food truck offers a combo with a little bit of everything, aptly titled The Undecided Combo.
