MAK Restaurant

MAK Restaurant We welcome you to enjoy the Modern Asian fare, Asian craft beer selection, and our spacious outdoor The inspiration behind MAK goes back almost 40 years.

Owner, Tommy Wang, grew up eating his parents’ cooking, not only at home but at their family’s restaurant, Tien Tsin. He fell in love with the dynamic flavors of his father, Eugene's, cooking and used that as a standard for all food his entire life. When the restaurant closed in 1998, Tommy, and other loyal fans suffered a huge void of quality Chinese food. By many accounts, it was simply the best

Chinese food they had ever had. Tommy heard countless expressions of the difficulty in finding good Chinese food, and more specifically, an inability to find Chinese food as good as his parents used to make. Already an entrepreneur, as a partner in Three Headed Productions, Tommy long had the idea of taking his father’s talents and refining them to a more modern palette. His own cravings for good Chinese could only be satisfied through home cooked meals at his parent's house and before long, Tommy's own 3 year old son felt the same way. Jonas would reject traditional favorites like Mac n Cheese and hot dogs, in favor of any dish his Ye Ye (Chinese for Grandfather) would make. Tommy and Eugene are excited to bring his flavorful recipes that have been handed down from generations to Wicker Park. Each dish has been diligently refined to include local, sustainable ingredients that maximize flavor and showcase the ingredients with an Asian flair. Without limiting themselves to any specific region of Asia, Eugene has drawn on the spices and palettes of the wide range of Asian cultures to bring together the best possible menu. Modern Asian Kitchen. Simply Good Food.

A message from our owner, Jeff Wang:

It's been quite the month trying to get everything sorted out from our kitchen fire. But, at last, I have a clearer picture. 

I’ve decided to close MAK. 

I struggled with this decision because it felt like failure. However, this has not been a failure. Not in the slightest bit. These have been some of the best years of my life and I am grateful for this opportunity to serve the community that I love. I have met so many amazing people that will be a part of my life forever, and have learned so many things that have made me a better person. If anything, I see this as the end of one chapter and beginning of the next.

No business is meant to last forever, and we've defied the odds by being open for 11+ years. That wouldn’t have been possible without YOU! Thank you to the entire Wicker Park community for welcoming us in 2013 and supporting us through the years!

We are closed today (5/8) due to a small fire. We’re working as quickly as we can to open back up. Thanks for your under...
