Chef Angus An's Michelin-listed Kits room, where the family-style chef's menu builds to a chilli heat you will not see coming.
Maenam is Chef Angus An's argument that Thai food in Vancouver deserves better than the takeout-script version, and it is a compelling argument made with funky, herbaceous, nose-tingling dishes you will be decoding for the whole drive home. Michelin-listed and Kitsilano-beloved, the room fills fast and is entirely aware of this fact. The move is the family-style chef's menu: you hand the ordering decisions to the kitchen, the plates arrive in their own logic and pace, and you stop pretending you can pronounce everything and just let the chilli heat build in the background the way a good date does. A smart cocktail helps when things get genuinely spicy. Reserve at least a week out; Kitsilano has known about Maenam for a while now and shows no signs of forgetting.
