Price: Very Expensive
• Cambodian • Bella Vista
Booked 4 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.

    It is always a joy to visit The Dandelion. I adore the aesthetic of every single room in this place! We celebrated my 31st birthday with deviled eggs, that amazing ricotta spread on toast, a chicken sandwich on walnut bread, and a rose mimosa in a cute little glass. Everything was a delight. My husband had a Pirates of Penzance drink and a skate sandwich (he reports both were great). I wanted to specifically mention our server, Jayden (not sure if this is how they spell it). Jayden was kind, courteous; we felt very attended to. Folks like Jayden make the Dandelion my favorite place in Philadelphia. Thank you!

    First time to this restaurant and will be back! They gave us a lovely table at the window and cheese board was amazing. Next time we want to check out the back outside patio which looks wonderful or stop in for one of the wine tastings.
