Wen was born on November 20, 1963, on Coloane, one of the two main islands of Macau.[1] Her mother Lin Chan Wen moved to Macau in the 1950s from Suzhou, China, to escape communism.[3] Her father is of Malaysian Chinese descent.[4] She has an older brother Jonathan[5] and a younger brother Leong.

Wen's parents divorced when she was an infant, and she moved with her brother and mother to Hong Kong, where she attended a Catholic school. Her mother worked three jobs to provide for the family. Her mother remarried to Chinese American Soo Lim Yee, and when Wen was four years old, the family moved to New York City.[6] Her younger brother Leong was born there.

After five years, Wen's mother and stepfather relocated their family to the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, where they bought and operated the Chinatown Inn restaurant (established in 1943), which is still in business.[1] They resided in the suburb of Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania, and Wen attended Mount Lebanon High School.[7] She majored in theatre at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, graduating in 1986. [3]
