Taking a detailed, seasonal, and sustainable approach with small and large plate offerings, the kitchen brings new life to the favorite hallmarks of American oyster bar fare and raw bar.

• Cambodian • Bella Vista
Booked 6 times today
Mawn is a noodle house with “no rules,” and the first restaurant for Chef Phila Lorn and his wife Rachel, who bring with them close to 20 years of experience in Philly’s restaurant scene. Phila, pronounced “Pee La,” broken English for Philadelphia, is a first-generation Cambodian-American chef. The first in his family to be born here, his parents and siblings came to Philadelphia as refugees in 1985 after surviving the war in Cambodia.Mawn, which means “chicken” in Khmer, the Cambodian language, represents more than one thing. To Phila, chicken was at every meal growing up, and to his parents, chicken represented peacetime. During the war and genocide of the Cambodian people, there was mostly only what was found in nature to eat, including rice and salt. If there was chicken, it meant no war. At the end of that dark time, recipes were lost, and culture was wiped out, but through survival, a new authenticity was born.

    Either food choices are a win. I definitely recommend doing the wine pairing as it was an experience from around the world and a learning experience from the marrying of food and wine to bring the most out of the dining experience. I would also skip a lunch (or do a light snack) during the day to allow yourself space to enjoy the meal even more as there is a lot to the meal.

    I met a friend for the lunch buffet. Server provided two types of naan and masala tea. He was kind enough to make it iced, since we had a heat wave that day. Inside was cool and comfortable. There were many choices of vegetarian and chicken/ fish dishes. We were not rushed and the food was freshly prepared and flavorful.

    Another fine dining experience at Honeysuckle. Enjoyed a luscious red cocktail in honor of Juneteenth and had a delicious meal--pickled collard as an amuse bouche, a special bread with butter and compote, hush puppies with thinly sliced country ham (amazing), "black caesar" (a very delicious salad) and the seafood alfredo (with freshly made noodles, lobster, crab, shrimp and more in a delicate creamy sauce--yum, yum, yum!) paired with a pleasant sauvignon blanc, and a dessert (with custard, pickled berries and mini-meringues). Very satisfying and a good value for the quality of the food and service. Food is locally sourced and the experimentation with sauces and fermentation takes things to the next level. Service is very friendly and professional. Ambience is warm (and cool), very inviting. One of the top five restaurants in Phila.
